ABSTRACT
Objective: To discuss the feasibility and practice of online examination for undergraduate pathological anatomy course during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: We used online examination system of superstar at Fudan University Online Education Center to prepare for the examination, invigilate the examination, review the examination papers and analyze the examination papers before and after the examination. Results: Based on the online examination of 151 eight-year undergraduates in clinical medicine, we found that the time consistency can be achieved through the setting of 'limited time entry' and 'limited time submission' in the system.By adding analysis, induction and comparison questions and reducing memory questions, the overall difficulty coefficient (P=0.81) of the test paper was equivalent to that of the same period of offline test in previous years.Through the rehearsal test setup, teachers and examinees could be familiar with the test process and improve the test equipment.The proportion of students using PC computer platform webpage to answer questions in formal examination was about 2%, higher than that in practice test, and another 4% students were no longer use mobile platform program to answer questions. Conclusion: The overall running of the online examination is stable and the score distribution is reasonable. The choice of examination platform should be applicable to all examinees.Before the examination, we should fully consider the particularity of the online examination scene, and carry out the simulation test and examination plan design in advance.The test paper formation and question setting of the online examination should be adjusted appropriately. © 2021, Editorial Department of Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics and liver biochemical parameters of 324 cases admitted with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Shanghai area. Methods: Clinical data and baseline liver biochemical parameters of 324 cases with novel coronavirus pneumonia admitted to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 20, 2020 to February 24, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on the status of illness: mild type (mild and typical) and severe type (severe and critical).The differences in clinical data and baseline liver biochemical parameters of the two groups were described and compared. The t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used for measurement data. The enumeration data were expressed by frequency and rate, and chi-square test was used. Results: Of the 324 cases with novel coronavirus pneumonia, 26 were severe cases (8%), with median onset of 5 days, 20 cases were HBsAg positive (6.2%), and 70 cases (21.6%) with fatty liver, diagnosed with X-ray computed tomography. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBil), albumin(ALB) and international normalized ratio (INR) of 324 cases at baseline were 27.86 ± 20.02 U/L, 29.33 ± 21.02 U/L, 59.93 ± 18.96 U / L, 39.00 ± 54.44 U/L, 9.46 ± 4.58 µmol / L, 40.64 ± 4.13 g / L and 1.02 ± 0.10. Of which, ALT was > than the upper limit of normal (> ULN), accounting for 15.7% (51/324). ALT and AST > ULN, accounting for 10.5% (34/324). ALP > ULN, accounting for 1.2% (4/324). ALP and GGT > ULN, accounting for 0.9% (3/324). INR > ULN was lowest, accounting for 0.6% (2/324). There were no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) in ALT [(21.5 vs. 26) U / L, P = 0.093], ALP [(57 vs.59) U/L, P = 0.674], and GGT [(24 vs.28) U/L, P = 0.101] between the severe group and the mild group. There were statistically significant differences in AST (23 U/L vs. 34 U/L, P < 0.01), TBil (10.75 vs. 8.05 µmol / L, P < 0.01), ALB (35.79 ± 4.75 vs. 41.07 ± 3.80 g/L, P < 0.01), and INR (1.00 vs. 1.04, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The baseline liver biochemical parameters of 324 cases with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Shanghai area was comparatively lower and the liverinjury degree was mild, and the bile duct cell damage was rare.
