Objective To summarize the online practice teaching experience in laboratory medicine during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, and explore a new practice teaching mode of laboratory medicine which can provide a reference for improving the efficiency and quality of laboratory medicine education. Methods From June 8th, 2020 to June 30th, 2020, an online questionnaire survey was conducted in teachers and students who participated in online internship teaching and learning during the COVID-19 epidemic to evaluate the effect of online internship teaching and compare the advantages and disadvantages of online and offline internships. ResultsA total of 65 valid questionnaires were collected from 35 students and 30 teachers. There was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction scores of intern students between online and offline internships [median (minimum, maximum): 100 (80, 100) vs. 100 (80, 100), P>0.05]. Among the teachers surveyed, 90.0% thought that the pre-teaching preparation for online internship teaching was more complicated and time-consuming, 60.0% thought that the online teaching was more difficult, and 63.3% thought that online internship could not achieve the expected results. Both the teachers and students believed that online and offline internships had their own advantages and disadvantages, and they could learn from each other. Conclusions The present online practice model cannot replace the traditional offline practice. A diversified practice model combining online and offline can help further develop and improve medical laboratory practice teaching.
Objective To explore the effect of applying evidence-based medicine theory to quality management in long-term-system clinical medicine teaching. Methods We introduced the concept of evidence-based quality management system of clinical medicine to the delivery of teaching with Internet-based teaching quality real time supervision system as the core. A special quality scale was used to assess the teaching quality of teachers and the results were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 using u test. Results The system stored 853 280 pieces of data from the years 2001 to 2003. Up to 96.4% (275/285) of the evaluated topics scored over 85 points. Whether the teachers had overseas experience or not and whether their ages were over 45 or not had no significant influence on the teaching quality (P ＞0.05), but their degrees had influence on the teaching quality (P ＜0.05). Conclusion In long-term-system clinical medicine teaching quality management, we should apply the concept and approach of EBM to our practice so that we can ensure that the teaching quality of long-term-system clinical medicine will improve steadily.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of osteoid callus allograft as a kind of bone healing promoting materials. METHODS The osteoid callus was obtained at one week after bilateral femoral fracture of a SD rat, then was kept at -196 C for 2 weeks. The bone defect model which bone repair was in intra-membranous osteogenesis was made at bilateral tibial shaft in 5 rats, and filled with the osteoid callus in the left defect area, the right side was filled with allogenous cancellous as control group. The specimen were processed with undecalcified technique and the sections were staining with light blue and sofranin T. RESULTS After 2 weeks, there were cartilage and bone formation in the defect area of osteoid callus graft group(3/4), medullary cavity formation in bone tissue with cartilage arround it, fibrous tissues between new bone and host bone. While there were no cartilage or bone formation in the control group. CONCLUSION The allograft osteoid callus is not absorbed by immunological rejection, but changed into bone tissue through endochondral osteogenesis. It is inspiring to develop osteoid callus allograft as a kind of material for bone healing.
Objective To find the best teaching method of summer EBM course to help students understand and apply EBM principles in research. Methods Training medical students to participate in an international team of clinical research for best evidence. We used a step-by-step method to teach how to write Cochrane systematic review and apply its method to other researches. Results Since our training program was launched three years ago, 38 medical students have taken part in the training. Five Cochrane systematic reviews and 19 protocols were published in The Cochrane L ibrary. Three medical students were the principal investigators and played an important role in another 2 studies. Seven articles were published in Chinese medical key journals, and 1 was indexed by SCI. Eleven students were funded to participate in the international academic conferences.Conclusions Medical students will benefit from taking part in the EBM research. This activity will help them not only understand method of clinical research and EBM , improve the quality of research and their cooperative skills but also master related clinical knowledge.

Furthermore, we analyze the actual effects in optimizing teaching content, renewing teaching mode, and improving teachers’ teaching ability, etc. We hope this article could provide new ideas for the teaching reform of undergraduate Clinical Pharmacology course.
ObjectiveTo explore the teaching effects of scene simulation of medical disputes in clinical skills training. MethodsBetween September 2012 and June 2013, 93 clinical medicine undergraduates in Grade 2010 (8-year study) were randomly divided into the scene simulation teaching of medical disputes group (n=47) and the control group with traditional training (n=46) for clinical skills training. Teaching effects were assessed by clinical skills operation tests. ResultsThrough scene simulation teaching of medical disputes, the trainees' clinical disposal ability, operating skills, communication skills, cultural knowledge, and legal knowledge dimension scores were all significantly better than previous tests (P<0.05). ConclusionScene simulation of medical disputes has an obvious advantage in clinical skills training.
ObjectiveTo analyze the methods and effects of the reformation of undergraduate course of geriatric nursing in China. MethodsIn the spring semester of 2012 and 2013, we implemented the experiential scenario teaching and autonomous group learning with simulation and heuristic teaching method, and the nursing undergraduates were given scale of Kogan's attitude toward older people and Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz 1 for investigation. The attitude to and knowledge on the elderly were compared before and after the study. Meanwhile, we also surveyed the interest in geriatric nursing among the students. ResultsThe interest in, attitude to and knowledge on the elderly among the students increased considerably after the teaching reformation. ConclusionThe undergraduate course teaching reformation of geriatric nursing with the simulation and heuristic teaching method has achieved good effects, and it can be widely used in geriatric nursing teaching in China.

Objective To investigate the situation and problems of medical evidence-based medicine （EBM） teaching in China. Methods One hundred and four participants from different hospitals or universities of China in 2005 “Evidence-Based Medicine Teachers Advanced Training Workshop Ⅱ of Ministry of Education” were investigated. A selfcomplete questionnaire on EBM teaching was given at the registration. Results Seventy five questionaires from responders who came from 50 medical institutions of 18 provinces and 25 cities were available for analysis, representing a response rate of 72%. The average age of responders were 38 years old, and 61.3% were graduates. And 14 hospitals or universities have given EBM courses. Namely, for the postgraduates in 9 universities, undergraduates in 2 universities, physicians, nurses and medical managers in 2 hospitals. The lectures lasted from 8 to 36 hours in different units. Di~culties were：lack of EBM teachers, and better understanding the concept and approach of EBM, less paid attention by policy makers, and too busy in specialty. Conclusion EBM teaching is blooming in medical universities in China. It is needed for us to train high qualified EBM teachers.
Gynecology and obstetrics teaching has strong practicality. Because of the lack of practice on patients who has strong self-protection consciousness and the likely injury due to invasive operation, students and young doctors can’t have many opportunities to make actual clinical operation which limits their abilities of clinical skills. Based on this, the virtual reality medical education in the teaching of obstetrics and gynecology develops fast these days because of its necessity, ethicality, and economical effect, which might be popularized. It plays a very important role in cultivating young doctors’ manipulative ability, training "three basics and three strictness", mastering abstract knowledge, and quantitative assessing effect of clinical teaching.
