International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(11):859-862
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a disease with high disability and mortality rate.It is still lack of effective treatment means in clinical practice.Studies in recent years have found that early brain injury may be the primary causes that result in higher mortality and poor prognosis in patients with SAH.This article mainly reviews the animal models and pathogenesis of early brain injury after SAH.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and value of mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) in clinical neurology practice.MethodsNinety-four interns were randomly divided into observation group and control group,students in control group were teached and managed in accordance with existing management while those in observation group were evaluated by teachers after the 1 st,2nd and 3rd week.At the end of clinical practice,all the students( including students in control group and observation group)were cross assessed by teachers based on the methods mentioned above.Results The time to complete the assessment was about 25 - 40 min.The scores of nervous system examination at the end of the training were significant different between observation group and control group and the scores of diagnosis and treatment on the basis of examination were also significant different between observation group and control group ( P < 0.05 ).ConclusionThe Mini-CEX assessment and feedback to promote teaching effect is feasible in the practice process of neurology,it can make up for the deficiency of current examination.
