ABSTRACT
Due to the particularity of assisted reproductive technology, almost all colleges and universities have not included the reproductive technology experiment course into the scope of postgraduate teaching. Based on the rapid development of the reproductive medicine and the shortage of qualified personnel, through the questionnaire survey, the paper investigates the willingness of reproductive medicine postgraduate students to learn assisted reproductive technology, the current status of experimental courses on assisted reproductive technology, student satisfactory with the courses, the necessity of setting up an experimental course for assisted reproductive technology, and so on. By analyzing the current situation of postgraduate teaching in reproductive medicine and the results of questionnaire survey, we explores the necessity and limitations of strengthening laboratory teaching of assisted reproductive technology in the process of reproductive medicine postgraduate training, and proposes corresponding teaching strategies.
ABSTRACT
In May 2019,the International Diabetic Foot Working Group (IWGDF) updated and issued guidelines for the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease.This guide puts forward some suggestions for the diagnosis,treatment and effective prevention of diabetic foot:the prevention of diabetic foot should start with high-risk foot,early screening and treatment of diabetic foot infection,foot ulcer and peripheral vascular disease and early comprehensive treatment.Effective prevention and early treatment can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with diabetes,reduce the amputation rate and mortality,and improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of low-frequency electroacupuncture (EA) on neuropathic pain induced by spinal nerve injury and its underlying mechanism.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a sham spared nerve injury (SNI) group,an SNI group and an SNI+EA group,each of 8.The rats in the SNI and SNI+EA groups were given SNI surgery,while those of the sham-SNI group only had the sciatic nerve and its branches exposed without any lesion.EA at 2 Hz was applied over the ipsilateral Zusanli and Kunlun acupoints daily for 14 days after the surgery.The ipsilateral paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) was measured,along with protein kinase A (PKA) levels in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord,calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) levels along with transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1).Results Compared to the normal group,the SNI groups all showed significant decreases in their PWTs on the affected side and significant increases in PKA,TRPV1,CGRP and substance P on the affected side.Compared to SNI group,the average ipsilateral PWT in the SNI+EA group increased significantly after EA treatment,while PKA levels,TRPV1,CGRP levels and SP expression all decreased significantly.Conclusion Electroacupuncture at low frequency can effectively relieve neuropathic pain,perhaps through down-regulation of PKA in the spinal cord and by decreasing pain hypersensitivity related to CGRP and SP.
