ABSTRACT
The expression levels of serum tenascin-C, osteopontin(OPN), and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) in the patients of diabetic mellitus were measured by ELISA. With the increase of the UACR, the expression of tenascin-C, osteopontin, and transforming growth factor-β1 showed a trend of increase and hypertension will argument this phenomenon. Pearson correlation analysis showed that levels of tenascin-C were positively correlated with HbA1C , body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, UACR, osteopontin, and transforming growth factor-β1.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the peer assisted learning approach combined with micro-teaching in anesthesia internship for oversea students.Methods 60 international medical students were randomly divided into two groups.Students in the control group have peer guidance before routine theatre observation,while students in experimental group discuss micro-teaching of anesthetic skills with each other by watching real time videos from smart phone.Students' subjective attitudes to new approach were evaluated and their final exam score were analyzed.SPSS 1 1.0 was used for data processing and the data was made descriptive analysis,t test and analysis of variance.Results Students in experimental group did better in both theory exam (46.8 ± 4.03) vs.(35.7 ±6.12) and practice exam (35.2 ± 3.20) vs.(27.6± 4.71) than those in control group,and the total scores of two groups were (80.5 ± 7.40) and (63.1 ± 6.81) respectively.These scores all had significant difference between two groups.More students from experimental group than those from control group feel interested in anesthesiology (P＜0.01) and feel confident about exams (P＜0.05);There was no difference between two groups in understanding clinical guideline (P=0.57).Conclusion Peer assisted learning combined with micro-teaching is proved to enhance the quality of anesthesia teaching during internship for oversea undergraduates.
