Objective To observe the effect of compound rehmannia on SOD and ATP enzyme in the brain of SAM-P/8 dementia mice and the change of apoptosis neuron cells.Methods SAM-P/8 mice were divided randomly into three groups:experimental group,treatment group and model group.Mice in experimental group were lavaged by compound rehmannia(2ml/day,individual).Mice in treatment group were lavaged by donepezil hydrochloride(400mg/kg,individual),and mice in normal group and model contrast group were lavaged by equal sodium chloride.After 3 weeks,we observed mice′s behavior in every group and investigated the changes of SOD,Na+-K+-ATP enzyme by immunohistochemistry and investigated the changes of apoptosis cells peak by FCM.Results Compound rehmannia could improve learning and memory ability of the SAM-P/8 mice,strengthen SOD,Na+-K+-ATP activity and reduce apoptosis neurons in brain.Conclusion Compound rehmannia can significantly improve the Alzheimer's mice learning and memory ability,strengthen the energy of brain cells,and increase resistance to free radical antioxidant capacity,reduce the neuron apoptosis and has a good relatively protection and care to SAM-P/8 mice brain neurons.

Objective To understand the status quo of stressors and mental health of undergradu-ates of local medical colleges in internship and provide relevant countermeasures so as to provide scientific reference for psychological health counseling for them. Methods The stress source scale and mental health symptom self-rating scale for medical students in internship (SCL-90) coded by Chang Lirong et al was adopted to investigate. The questionnaire survey was conducted on the stress and mental health status of 390 interns in Binzhou Medical College, and 384 valid questionnaires were collected, with the effective rate of recovery as 98.46%. The questionnaire results were analyzed by sample t test, variance analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Results A total of 24.1% of students in local medical schools were under moderate pressure (1.17±0.63). The highest pressure source was examination and employment (1.58±0.74), and the other followed were knowledge and skills (1.43 ±0.68), interpersonal relationships (1.11 ±0.54), patients (1.06±0.53), medical conditions (1.00±0.53) and work load (0.95±0.52) respectively. The scores of various stressors were significantly and positively correlated with most of the mental health factors. Conclusion The undergraduates of local medical colleges and universities are generally under stress in internship, which would affect their mental health. It is suggested that the interns should be guided from the aspects of employment, study and psychology so as to help them relieve their stress and develop good psychological qualities.

Objective:To understand the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the perioperative period of cervical spine surgery and analyze its risk factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 426 cervical spine surgery patients admitted to the from March 2017 to March 2021. The basic information of the patients, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases, and the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was calculated based on the underlying diseases.The preoperative serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI) level and the operation-related indicators were collected,including the type of cervical spine surgery, surgical procedure, approach, duration of surgery, duration of anesthesia, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS), and electrolyte disturbances. Count data were expressed as cases (%), and comparisons between groups were made using the χ 2 test; logistic regression models were applied to perform a multifactorial analysis of the factors influencing the perioperative occurrence of MACE in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery. Results:Among the 426 patients, 54 (12.68%) experienced MACE during the perioperative period, including 4 cases of unstable angina (7.41%), 4 cases of acute myocardial infarction (7.41%), 33 cases of severe arrhythmia (61.11%), and 13 cases of acute heart failure (24.07%). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the older the age group (50-59 years old: odds ratio=1.34, 95% confidence interval: 1.14-1.78; 60-69 years old: odds ratio=1.48, 95% confidence interval: 1.20-1.86; 70-79 years old: odds ratio=1.71, 95% confidence interval: 1.34-2.57; 80-89 years old: odds ratio=1.95, 95% confidence interval: 1.46-2.85), as well as females, CCI scores>3, and preoperative cTnI>0.04 μg/L, postoperative VAS score>5, and electrolyte disorders are all influencing factors for the occurrence of MACE in cervical spine surgery patients during the perioperative period (odds ratios of 1.84, 2.12, 2.34, 2.57, 2.20, 95% confidence intervals of 1.34-2.68, 1.50-3.41, 1.63-3.72, 1.53-4.01, 1.43-3.69, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of MACE in the perioperative period of cervical spine surgery is relatively high. Elderly age, female, high CCI score, high preoperative serum cTnI, postoperative pain and electrolyte disturbance are independent risk factors for the perioperative period of cervical spine surgery.

Objective:To explore the feasibility in reconstruction of the muscular power with the superficial part of lateral femoral muscle through anatomical study on the superficial region of lateral femoral muscle.Methods:Studies on 4 sides of lower limbs of 2 cadaver specimen were conducted in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Xi'an Fengcheng Hospital. Intraoperative observations and measurements were further carried out on 21 sides of 21 patients. Muscular fascia in superficial region, muscular gross morphology, thickness, length and width of muscles, length of muscle fibres and pinnate angles of muscle surface were observed and measured. Both blood vessels and nerves in the muscle were separated to measured.Results:The superficial region of lateral femoral muscle was in a shape of fusiform and started from the greater trochanter and ended at the patella and rectus femoris, with the fascia at proximal end and the muscle of distal end. The inferior muscle fibres of the fascia were arranged in sequence and ended at the deep fascia from proximal to distal. Mean muscle thickness was measured at 1.96 cm±0.48 cm, and mean pinnate angle was of 18.9°±3.3°. The superficial region was found being distributed by the descending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery(LCFA) and the second branch of femoral nerve, and they accompanied each other. At 5.0 cm from the point of entry to the muscle, the diameter of the vessels was measured at 2.39 mm±0.52 mm, and the diameter of nerves was at 2.64 mm±0.61 mm. Both of arteries and nerves further branched out anteriorly and posteriorly in 1.0-1.5 cm intervals after having entered the muscle. At 0 - 2.5 cm away from the muscle entry point, a larger branch was often running posteriorly into the muscle, and this branch appears on all 4-sided specimens. While the occurrence rate in the 21 sides of patients observed in operations was of 90.5%, with a transverse diameter at 1.23 mm±0.28 mm.Conclusion:The superficial region of lateral femoral muscle is dominated by independent vessels and nerves and there are many branches from superior vessels and nerves, which form an anatomical basis for one or more muscular flaps.
