Objective To explore the effect and experience of problem-based (PBL) teaching in neurosurgical clinical training and improve the quality of the neurosurgical clinical training. Methods 600 clinical medical students of Grade 2011 in their probation in our department of neurosurgery were chosen as the subjects of study and were randomly divided into the experimental (PBL, 15 groups, 20 people/group, over 300 people) and control groups (CBL+ LBL, 15 groups, 20 people/group, over 300 people). In experimental group, PBL which is a problem-based, student-centered and teacher-directed pedagogy was adopted. In control group, CBL (case-based learning) + LBL (lecture-based learning) were adopted. After probation, two groups of students had the unified test and assessed their teaching methods by questionnaire survey and at the same time, the questionnaire survey about PBL' impact on the various aspects was done only to experimental group students. SPSS 15.0 software was used to do statistical analysis and data were processed by description analysis, t test, Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis. Results The scores of theoretical knowledge and general ability in PBL group [(40.57 ±3.24), (41.23 ±4.56) individually] were higher than these in control group [(37.21 ±4.05), (36.51±4.11) individually]. The differences demonstrated statistically meanings. Through the surveys, the students in experimental group showed the high satisfaction (97.0%, n=291) in PBL teaching. Most of the students considered that their abilities of team cooperation (96.7%, n=290), and self-directed learning (92.7%, n=278) were improved by PBL teaching. The students in experimental group illustrated their attitudes in satisfaction of teaching; interests of clinical training, participation of teaching and understanding of knowledge were superior to the control group. The differences demonstrated statisti-cally meanings. Conclusion PBL teaching got a good effect in neurosurgical clinical training. This method, which improved students' participation and motivation of study and contributed to the training of medical students' comprehensive abilities, is suitable for modern neurosurgical clinical training.

Objective To investigate the effect of Dureping injection (DRP) on IL-4, IFN-? mRNA and CD40L protein expression of FM1 infected mice with virus pneumonia, and explore the mechanism of antiviral effect. Methods ICR mice were divided into 7 groups:DRP1, DRP2, DRP3, SHL, Ribavirin, sham and model group. The mice were sacrificed on the 7th after infected, and the lung index was calculated. Then, IFN-?mRNA and IL-10 mRNA in the lung tissue was measured with RT-PCR, CD40L protein in the lung tissue was measured with Western-blot. Results The lung index of mice in model group was significantly higher than sham group (P0.05). Conclusion DRP in vivo could down-regulate the lung index, inhibit the transcription IL-4 mRNA, enhance the transcription of IFN-? and inhibit the expression of CD40L protein in lung of FM1 infected mice.

Objective To assess the value of high-frequency ultrasound guided venipuncture of forearm superficial veins. Methods Forty patients with failure of direct venipuncture were given high-frequency ultrasound guided venipuncture. After the direction and depth of superficial veins were identified by high-frequency ultrasonography, a re-puncture was performed. Real-time ultrasonic guidance was employed in case of necessity. Results High-frequency ultrasound identification was used in 11 patients, and real-time ultrasonic guidance was used in 29 patients. All the procedures were successfully completed on one session. Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound guided venipuncture of superficial veins is a simple method without complications, being worthy of wide clinical application.

Objective To explore the advantages and application of adjustable shunt valve in treatment of chil-dren with Communicating hydrocephalus. Methods Eighty six consecutive children undergoing surgery treatment for Communicating hydrocephalus from January 2006 to July 2011 were included in this retrospective study. Fifty cases re-ceived adjustable shunt valve whereas the rest received standard shunt valve. Results The success rate was 84.00% in the adjustable shunt valve group and 63.89%in the standard shunt valve group. Complication rate was 16.00%in the ad-justable shunt valve group and 36.11% in the standard shunt valve group. Inadequate and excessive shunt rate was 69.23% in the standard shunt valve group and zero% in adjustable shunt valve group. Compared with standard shunt valve group, adjustable shunt valve group had significantly higher success rate and lower complication rate (All P<0.05). Conclusions Adjustable shunt valve effectively reduce the complication rate and improve the success rate. In addition, adjustable shunt valve is superior to standard shunt valve in the treatment of children with communicating hydrocephalus because it fits for the development of children.

Objective To develop a father involvement scale and test the reliability and validity.Methods The scale was developed based on previous studies and depth interviews with more than 20 fathers.Totally 1565 families from 3 provinces were recruited.Item analysis was conducted to identify valid items.Then the construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA & CFA).Finally the reliability and criterion validity of the scale was examined.Results The scale was consisted of 8 factors wihch were involvement attitude,activities and playing,accompany and taking care of children,attentiveness,discipline and school encouragement,economic support,protection,support mother.They explained 59.94% of the total variance.Besides,the CFA results demonstrated a satisfactory construct validity of the scale (RMSEA =0.05,NFI =0.95,NNFI =0.96,CFI =0.97).The Cronbach(')s α coefficients of the scale was 0.897,and those of its 8 were 0.828,0.788,0.764,0.781,0.671,0.754,0.528 and 0.693 respectively.Conclusion The Father Involvement Scale with 8 factors has a good reliability and validity,demonstrating it a valid tool to measure father involvement in China.

Objective To evaluate the effect of limited fluid resuscitation treatments on the hemorrhagic traumatic shock in order to improve the cure rate. Methods Forty cases of the hemorrhagic traumatic shock patient were randomly divided into the regular fluid resuscitation group (n=21, regular group) and the limited fluid resuscitation group (n=19, limited group). In regular group, fast infusion of the full quantity fluid underwent in the early stage before hemostasia, keeping systolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg 1mm Hg=0.133 kPa. In limited group, infusion of fluid was limited before hemostasia, keeping average MAP at 6.65 kPa, then blood transfuse and fluid infusion underwent after hemostasia. After hemostasia, two groups kept MAP at 9.31~10.64 kPa. Results Three cases died in regular group, and the cure rate was 85.7%. No death in limit group, and the cure rate was 100%. There was significance difference between two groups (P

Objective:With the development of digital technology, network technology and mobile technology, new media aided-teaching has become a hot topic in medical teaching. However, the studies about the application of new media aided-teaching in training for professional postgraduates of neurosurgery are still less studied.Methods:In this study, 24 Batch 2015-2016 professional postgraduates of neurosurgery from Neurosurgery Department of Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were divided into the test group and control group, with 12 students in each group. From September 2016 to August 2018, students in the test group were taught with conventional teaching and various new media such as WeChat official accounts, professional video sharing websites and so on. The control group adopted conventional teaching methods. Students' theoretical knowledge, operation ability and clinical research ability were assessed between the two groups. SPSS 22.0 software was used for t test and descriptive statistics on the data.Results:The results of t test analysis showed that the scores of theoretical knowledge and general ability in test group were higher than those in control group, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the scores of teaching satisfaction, professional interest, teaching participation, knowledge mastery and scientific research ability in the test group were higher than those in the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Conventional teaching combined with new media aided-teaching is a good new training model for professional postgraduates of neurosurgery, which has improved students' participation and motivation of study and contributed to the training of medical students' comprehensive abilities.
