Objective To explore the application effect of Sandwich teaching method in clinical teaching in the department of neurosurgery.Methods Totally 144 clinical medicine students were divided into 2 groups:Sandwich teaching group (n=72) and traditional teaching group (n=72).The analysis of test and the questionnaire of the students were conducted after the course.Comparison between the two groups was made using independent sample t test and measurement data were expressed as as ± s.P＜0.05 signifies statistically significant differences.Rank sum test was used to compare the distribution of the test scores.Results The test score was statistically higher in Sandwich teaching group than control group [(76.38 ± 10.84) vs.(69.67 ± 10.50)].And the main distribution of the test scores was 70～90 in Sandwich teaching group while 60～80 in control group.Questionnaire showed that the scores of Sandwich teaching group were statistically higher than those ofthe control group in five aspects such as enhancing self-learning ability,improving the ability to analyze and solve problems,and so on.Conclusions Sandwich teaching method achieves good teaching effect and it is worth recommending in clinical teachifig.

Objective To evaluate the protective effects of Rosemary's chloroform extract on cerebral ischemia in mice and acute toxicity.Methods The protective of rosemary's chloroform extract on cerebral ischemia was observed and compared by the mice models of cerebral anoxia and ischemia,thrombus formation in vivo,and chloroform induced arrhythmias.Rosemary's Chloroform Extract was given orally to mice to evaluate acute toxicity.Results Rosemary's chloroform extract had different degrees of inhibition of collagen-the adrenaline induced thrombus formation,and prolonged acute ischemic mice brains off mouth breathing time and increase the number of mouth breathing (P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01);Chloroform extract significantly reduced the incidence of chloroform induced ventricular arrhythmias.Acute toxicity results suggested that a female rat died in the next day of chloroform extract group,no additional toxicity was observed.Conclusion Rosemary's chloroforrm extract has significant protective effect on cerebral ischemia and hypoxia in mice.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate therapeutic efficacy of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of severe craniocerebral trau-ma. METHODS:67 patients with severe craniocerebral trauma selected from neurosurgery department of our hospital were Treat-ment method divided into treatment group(33 cases)and control group(34 cases). Observation group was given conventional treat-ment,i.g. oxygen inhalation,dehydration,nourish cranial nerve,anti-infection. Treatment group On the basis of the control group was given Xuebijing injection 50 ml/time,tid,ivgtt. PT,TT,PLT,FIB,CK,LA, D-D,blood gas index (PaCO2,PaO2, HCO3-)of 2 groups were observed after 7 days of treatment,and prognosis of 2 groups were evaluated after 6 months as well as therapettin efficacy. RESULTS:After treatment,PT,TT,PLT,FIB,CK,LA, D-D,PaCO2,PaO2 and HCO3- of 2 groups were all better than before,and the treatment group was better than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The rate of good prognosis in treatment group (78.79%) was significantly better than in control group (55.88%) after 6 months of treat-ment,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Xuebijing injection in the treatment of severe craniocerebral trau-ma can improve coagulation function,blood gas levels and the inflammatory reaction,and is conducive to improve the patient's prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the chemical constituents of Excoecaria acerifclia.

METHODColumn chromatography on Silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 were applied for isolation and purification of the constituents. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectrascopic analysis, chemical evidences and by comparison with the data reported in the literature.

RESULTFrom the crude EtOAc fraction of Excoecaria acerifclia F. Didr, 14 compounds were isolated and identified as 7,8-trans-4,5,9-trihydroxy-3,3',9'-trimethoxy-7-O-5',8-O-4'-neolignan (1), 7,8-trans 4,5,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-7-O-5',8-O-4'-neolignan (2), malloapelin C (3), sy-ringaresinol (4), 2alpha,3beta,24-trihydroxy-12-ursen-28-oic acid (5), 11-hydroxy-3-oxo-12-ursen-28-oic acid (6), 6-hydroxy-20 (29)-lupen-3-one (7), isolupenyl acetate (8), kaempferol (9), quercetin (10), apigenin (11), catechin (12), kamepferol-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (13), and catechin (6-->8) catechin (14).

CONCLUSIONSCompound 1 was new, the remained compounds were isolated and identified from E. acerifclia for the first time. Among them, compounds 5-8 are triterpenoids, while the other compounds are phenylpropanoids.

Goiter is a kind of non-inflammatory and non-neoplastic hyperplasia and enlargement. Many studies have shown that substances such as thiocyanates and isothiocyanates can prevent the development of a variety of tumors. However, some studies have also found that such substances can lead to goiter. In this article, relevant information on common goitrogen in food are collected to explore their mechanism of action, laying a foundation for guiding residents to maintain a healthy and balanced diet.

Objective: To study the antidepressant effects of extracts fromZanthoxylum bungeanumandZanthoxylum schinifoliumin mice exposed in chronic restraint stress. Methods: 45 mice of SPF male ICR were randomly divided into five groups: normal group, model group, sertraline hydrochloride group,Zanthoxylum bungeanumextract group andZanthoxylum schinifoliumextract group, with 9 mice in each group. Except for the normal group, mice in all groups were chronically restrained to establish the depressive model. The normal group and model group were given olive oil by intragastric administration, and other groups were given sertraline hydrochloride(10 mg/kg),Zanthoxylum bungeanumextract(200 mg/kg) andZanthoxylum schinifoliumextract(200 mg/kg), respectively. The behaviors of mice in each group were evaluated by open-field test and forced swimming test. The levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF), 5-hydroxytryptophan(5-HT), glutathione(GSH) and nitric oxide(NO) in serum and brain were determined by ELISA. Results: Compared with model group,Zanthoxylum bungeanumextract could reduce the percentage of immobility time in forced swimming test, increase the level of cortical BDNF, and improve the levels of 5-HT and GSH in cortex and serum, with statistical significance(P<0.05).Zanthoxylum schinifoliumextract could improve the behavior of mice in open field test and forced swimming test, increase the levels of cortex 5-HT and serum GSH, and decrease the contents of NO in serum and cortex. Conclusion The extracts ofZanthoxylum bungeanumandZanthoxylum schinifoliumcan improve the depression-like behaviors of mice exposed to chronic restraint stress.

Four unreported monoterpene indole alkaloids, tabernaecorymines B-E (1-4), together with twenty-one known indole alkaloids (5-25) were obtained from the stem bark of Tabernaemontana corymbosa. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculations, DP4+ probability analyses and Mo₂(OAc)₄-induced electronic circular dichroism experiment. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of these compounds were evaluated and some of them showed significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus dysgalactiae and Candida albicans.
