BACKGROUND The popularity of internet as an area of research has grown manifold over the years. Given its rapid development and increasing coverage worldwide, internet-based interventions seem to offer a promising option to ameliorate huge burdens brought by type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, studies conducted by different researchers have provided contradictory results on the effect of internet-based interventions in glycemic control. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aims to summarize currently available evidence and evaluate the overall impact of internet-based interventions on glycemic management of type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Randomized controlled trials that used glycosylated hemoglobin values as the outcome measure of glycemic control were considered. Risk of bias and publication bias were evaluated. RESULTS Of the 492 studies, 35 were included in meta-analysis, and results indicated that the weighted mean difference (WMD) between usual care and internet-based interventions at endpoint was -0.426% (95% CI -0.540 to -0.312; P<.001). Subgroup analyses revealed that intervention duration ≤3 months yielded optimal performance (WMD -0.51%; 95% CI -0.71 to -0.31; P<.001). Combined mobile and website interventions were substantially superior to solely Web-based and mobile-based interventions in glycemic control (combined WMD -0.77%, 95% CI -1.07 to -0.47; P<.001; Web only: WMD -0.48%; 95% CI -0.71 to -0.24, P<.001; mobile only WMD -0.31%, 95% CI -0.49 to -0.14; P<.001). Furthermore, the effect of interventions with automated feedbacks was similar to those with manual feedbacks, and studies with internet-based educational contents were more effective in glycemic control. The assessment revealed a low risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, utilization of internet-based intervention is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and taking full advantage of this type of intervention may substantially reduce the incidence of complications and improve quality of life.

Problem Clinical and translational research is increasing in China, attracting faculty-to-faculty collaborations between U.S. and Chinese researchers. However, examples of successful institution-to-institution collaborations to facilitate this research are limited. The authors describe a partnership between Peking University Health Science Center (PUHSC) and the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) designed to enable faculty-initiated joint translational and clinical research projects. Approach In 2009, UMMS leadership identified PUHSC as the most appropriate institutional partner, and the Joint Institute for Translational and Clinical Research was established in 2010. Each contributed $7 million for joint research projects in areas of mutual interest. A shared governance structure, four thematic programs (pulmonary, cardiovascular, liver, and renal diseases), three joint research-enabling cores, and processes for awarding funding have been established along with methods for collaborating and mechanisms to share data and biomaterials. Outcomes As of November 2015, 52 joint faculty proposals have been submitted, and 25 have been funded. These projects have involved more than 100,000 patients in the United States and China and have generated 13 peer-reviewed publications. Pilot data have been leveraged to secure $3.3 million of U.S. extramural funding. Faculty and trainee exchanges take place regularly (including an annual symposium), and mechanisms exist to link faculty seeking collaborations. Critical determinants of success include having co-ownership at all levels with coinvestment of resources. Next Steps Each institution is committed to continuing its support with a repeat $7 million investment. Next steps include initiating studies in new clinical areas and pursuing large clinical intervention trials.
Objective To compare the models of receiving overseas exchange students for shortterm clinical rotation in China and other countries,exam Peking University Health Science Center (PUHSC)'s program for receiving oversea exchange students for short-term clinical rotation by using international experiences as a reference,and put forward improving approaches.Methods The data is collected through examination of work-related documents and interview of relevant people;the data is then used to compare the similarities and differences between the models of receiving exchange students for short term clinical rotation in PUHSC and its 22 oversea partner universities.Results PUHSC's program for receiving oversea exchange students for short-term clinical rotation made a good achievement overall,but there are still issues related to program scale,teaching arrangement,application process,program administration,evaluation and accreditation,accommodation arrangement,health and safety etc.PUHSC can learn from international experiences and improve the program through strategies such as set up clinical rotation blocks or terms,clarify application requirements and regulations,establish online application system,include exchange students in the university's students and staffs administration system,improve evaluation and accreditation system,provide more humanistic care,request and exam immunization and health insurance documents so as to strengthen safety management.Conclusions Receiving oversea exchange students for short-term clinical rotation is an important component of medical education internationalization,PUHSC can improve the quality and scale of the program by referencing international experiences.
In the new era of globalization, it has become a trend that health education institutions around the world are collaborating with one another in establishing and advancing collaborative education programs through cooperation, communication, information, and resources sharing. In this chapter, we first present the current main forms and models of collaborative education programs, including degree programs (sandwich, dual degree, joint degree, and others) and nondegree programs (clinical rotation, lab rotation, summer school, international student forums/symposia/workshops). We then discuss the barriers and challenges of advancing collaborative global education programs, which include cultural and language barriers, regulatory differences, financial barriers, unbalanced development among countries/institutions/disciplines, institutional barriers, and personal barriers. And lastly, we discuss the strategies to overcome the barriers and conclude with the future trend of the development.

The paper makes an empirical study on the use of language learning strategies in an online multimedia environment by a group of medical undergraduate students. A survey was administered to 238 medical undergraduate students from Peking University Health Science Center. The findings of the research suggest that the overall situation of learning strategy use by this group of Chinese college students is not satisfactory, and the least frequently employed strategies are social and affective strategies. The study also shows statistically significant differences between higher achievers and lower achievers in cognitive,memory and compensation strategy uses in general, and some sub-category strategy uses in particular. Suggestions are discussed for further improvement of online language instruction and learning strategy training.
