The inundation of Cordyceps sinensis counterfeits in the market makes it difficult to identify. In this study, 21 batches of wild C. sinensis from 3 different regions, 30 batches of naturally cultured C. sinensis and 4 kinds of counterfeits extracted by methanol and water were analyzed using NMR technology. 9 characteristic peaks were defined as quantitative criterion after comparison, and NMR fingerprints of C. sinensis were established. According to the result it is highly similar between naturally cultured C. sinensis and wild ones by comparing their NMR fingerprints. However, NMR spectra of four kinds of adulterants showed differences with C. sinensis. The result also showed that NMR fingerprint of C. sinensis are highly characteristic and specific. The NMR characteristic fingerprint of wild C. sinensis was consistent with the naturally cultured C. sinensis, and it indicated that the chemical constituents of wild C. sinensis and naturally cultured C. sinensis are nearly the same.

Computer tomography scanning was performed in 16 patients with mandibular angle hypertrophy before and after surgery. The imaging data of patients were recorded in three-dimensional reconstruction software (Mimics 10.0), and found the most appropriate surgery plan through simulating different surgical procedures. The geometry character indexes of the face were compared between before and after surgery, and then the results were analyzed. We got intuitive, accurate three-dimensional reconstruction graphs, simulation of surgery procedures, and calculation of difference in the geometry character index of face in all cases. The bone width of mandibular angle shortened (7.69?.89) mm; the soft tissue width of mandibular angle shortened (5.13?.19) mm; the both gonial angle increased (5.68?.43)?and (5.91?.66)? respectively. Applied to actual surgery procedure,the operation time shortened and precision of operation was improved. Results demonstrated that Computer three-dimensional reconstruction and computer simulation techniques is beneficial to reveal the variational regularity of bone and soft tissue, which is a good aided method in stimulation of surgery and choice of surgery plan.

Objective:To explore the present situation of medical students' professionalism cognition and provide reference for medical personnel training and medical education.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on medical students among 2 affiliated hospitals of a medical university in H province by cluster sampling. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability and validity test were carried out and a descriptive analysis of the present situation of professionalism was conducted by SPSS 20.0. Amos21.0 software was used for a confirmatory factor analysis on the samples.Results:The measurement scale had good reliability and validity, and the Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.901. The average professionalism score of the medical students was about 80 points. The score of "physical and mental status and self-development ability" was the highest (83.65 points), and the lowest score was "academic ability" (72.21 points). There was a little difference in the professionalism cognition between the two hospitals, with significant differences between the dimension "respect and care" and "responsibility".Conclusion:This study has initially formed a medical professionalism measurement scale with good reliability and validity. The professionalism of medical students in the 2 affiliated hospitals of a medical school in Province H is in good condition as a whole. In the future, medical education should pay more attention to the combination of basic professional knowledge and clinical practice of medical students, and change the training model of medical students in order to improve the academic ability of medical students and medical students' overall cognition of professionalism.

Journal of China Medical University 2018;47(3):275-277,281
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (OA) is the most severe type of temporomandibular joint disorder of the oral and maxillofacial region. This disorder has a high incidence, and its main characteristic is articular cartilage injury, accompanied by changes in the synovium and subchondral bone. The role of the changes in the subchondral bone in the development and progression of OA has attracted attention in recent years, and the importance of the subchondral bone has been recognized. At present, the subchondral bone has been considered a promising target for the treatment of OA. This manuscript summarizes the research progress in the pathological changes of the cartilage bone in OA, and its mechanism, which would be helpful for the treatment of this disease.

Objective To assess the prognosis and effect on renal function of pediatric urolithiasis caused by melamine-contaminated milk powder (PUMMP) in a long-term follow-up.Methods One hundred and two of 8335 children (≤ 6-year-old) with history of consuming melamine-contaminated milk powder screened in our hospital were followed up for eighteen months after diagnosis. Urinary system ultrasonography, urinalysis, urinary microprotein profiles [microalbumin (ALBU), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosidase (NAG)], urinary melamine and cyanuric acid were examined in the first visit and at the end of follow-up. Results Follow-up was completed in 91 children and the stone was excreted in 82 children (90.1%).Stones less than 5 mm in diameter were most vulnerable to discharge, and stones larger than 10 mm could not be expelled without interventions. At the end of follow-up, no melamine or cyanuric acid was found in the urine samples of 74 patients. Urinalysis showed that incidences of proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and leukocyturia were 0%, 5.1% and 2.0%, which were significant different from those in the first visit (Pproteinutria=0.123, Phemnatuna=0.038 and Pleukocyhuris=0.005).Urinary microprotein profiles revealed that some children whose urinalysis was normal still presented glomerular and renal tubular injury and the abnormal rates were 8.8% and 12.1%respectively. The glomerular injury was mainly related to persistent stone, male and younger.Conclusions 90.1% of children with PUMMP passes urinary stones at the end of follow-up.Stone size is the major risk factor of discharge. No melamine or cyanuric acid is found in the urine of children. After eighteen months, glomerular and renal tubular injury is still found in some patients. Further follow-up is necessary.
