1.Application of case base study combined with evidence-based medicine in internal medicine practice
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;(5):518-520
There are some disadvantages in internal medicine practice teaching now. To find a new teaching model, and implement a teaching reform is the key to improve teaching quality. We try to apply the case introduction to the teaching method of evidence based practice in the department of internal medicine . The new teaching model which combined case base study with evidence-based medicine in internal medicine practice can help put forward questions and guide students to analyze questions by the case. It also helps find evidence and solve questions by evidence-based method. The organic combination of the two, not only can stimulate students' learning enthusiasm and initiative, de-velop the correct clinical thinking, but also can effectively promote students' self-learning ability to update their knowledge. It is worth widely developing in internal medicine practice.

Objective To study the effects of hypothermia therapy on inflammation level and safety of patients with severe nervous injury.Methods A total of 82 patients with severe nerve injury were divided into study group and control group by random digits table, 41 patients in each group.The patients in these two groups had no statistical dis-parities in inflammatory agent and intracranial pressure (p>0.05).The patients in the control group were treated by routine therapy and those in the study group were treated by cephalic hypothermia therapy additionally.The two groups were compared in terms of the level of TNFα, IL-6 and IL-8 in the cerebrospinal fluid, prognosis and safety.Re-sults Before treatment there was no significant difference in inflammation level between the two groups (p>0.05). After treatment, the TNFα, IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in control group (p<0.01).Before treatment there was no significant difference in ICP between two groups (p>0.05).How-ever, after treatment there was a significant difference in ICP between the two groups in all time points (p<0.01). The GOS score in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group.There was no statistical dis-parities in complications between the two groups (p>0.0).Conclusion The hypothermia therapy has a great clini-cal efficacy and safety on severe never injury patients, which makes it worth clinical application.
9.Ischemic preconditioning in immature rabbit hearts
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1995;0(02):-
Objective Protection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) against myocardial ischemia in adult heart has been investigated. This study was designed to examine the effects of IPC on myocardial tolerance to ischemia in immature hearts.Methods The aorta of isolated immature rabbit heart (14-21d old) was connected to Langendorff preparation within 30 s after excision. The hearts were perfused with oxygenated (95%O 2:5%CO 2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer(KHB) at 60 cmH 2O. 16 immature rabbit hearts were equally divided into 2 groups: control group and IPC group. In IPC group the hearts were first subjected to IPC stimulus consisting of 5 min global ischemia followed by 10 min reperfusion. The hearts in both groups were made globally ischemic for 30 min(no perfusion) followed by 40 min reperfusion. At the end of 40 min reperfusion the hearts were harvested for ATP analysis. The coronary flow(C), HR, left ventricle developed pressure(LVDP) and ?dp/dt were monitored and recorded before ischemia and at 5,10,20,30 and 40 min of reperfusion, and calculated as % of pre-ischemia levels. Coronary flow was collected before and after reperfusion for CK-MB determination.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the four parameters between the two groups. Arrhythmia scores were also comparable betweeen the two groups. The CK-MB leakage in IPC group was increased but not significantly different from that in control group. The ATP levels of myocardium at the end of reperfusion was significantly lower than that in the control group [(123.85?17.42)?g/g versus (167.21?16.53)?g/g].Conclusions IPC can not protect immature rabbit hearts from ischemia-reperfusion injury. On the contrary it may lead to myocardial injury due to more energy consumption.
10.Myocardial protective effect of ischemic preconditioning and its mechanism in immature rabbit heart
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1994;0(06):-
Objective To investigate whether ischemic preconditioning( IPC) could protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury in immature rabbit heart and the role of KATP channel in the mechanism of myocardial protection. Methods New Zealand rabbits aged 14-21 days weighing 220-280g were used. The animals were anesthetized and heparinized. Chest was opened and heart was quickly removed and aorta was connected to Langendorff preparation within 30 s. The hearts were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer balanced with gas mixture(O2: CO2 = 95% : 5% ) at 60cmH2O2(perfusion pressure) . IPC consisted of 5 mm global ischimia plus 10 mm reperfusion. Glibenclamide was used as KATP channel blocker. Cardiac arrest was induced with cold(4℃ ) St Thomas Ⅱ cardioplegic solution and heart was made globally ischemic by withholding perfusion for 45 mm followed by 40 mm reperfusion. Thirty immature rabbit hearts were randomly divided into four groups: group Ⅰ( n= 9 control) was subjected to ischemia-reperfusion only; groupⅡ(n= 9 IPC + ischemia-reperfusion); group Ⅲ(n = 6 glibenclamide + ischemia-reperfusion) and group Ⅳ( n= 6 glibenclamide + IPC + ischemia-reperfusion) . Coronary flow(CF), HR, left ventricle developed pressure( LVDP) and ? dP/dt max were monitored before ischemia/IPC/glibenclamide( baseline value) and 5, 10, 20 and 40 mm after reperfusion and were expressed as percentage of their baseline values. Arrhythmia scores were recorded. Coronary effluent was collected at 10 miii after reperfusion was started for determination of CK-MB level. At the end of reperfusion 200mg myocardium was taken from apex for determination of ATP content. Results The group Ⅱ(IPC group) showed best results. The recovery of CF, HR, LVDP and ?dp/dt max, was best among the four groups. The incidence of arrhythmia was low and less CK-MB leaked out. Myocardial ATP content was better preserved. Pretreatment with glibenclamide completely abolished the myocardial protection provided by IPC but did not affect ischemiareperfusion injury. Conclusions IPC can protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury in immature rabbit bean. Activation of KATh channel is involved in the mechanism of myocardial protection of IPC.
