1.A study on the problems and countermeasures of MBBS students education in Jiangsu province
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2013;(8):757-760
With the rapid growth of foreign student education in China,specific development goals have been put forward. Although size of bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery students(referred to as MBBS students) is ranked the first place among foreign students with other majors in China,it faces difficulties,including decline in the quality of students,chaotic curricula,weak faculty team and a lack of managerial personnel. Seven colleges and universities in Jiangsu province which enroll MBBS students must strengthen cooperation and collaborative development,to increase contribution to the overall size and quality of foreign students education in the province and to jointly build the MBBS student education brand of‘study in Jiangsu’.

Objective To compare the clinical outcome of intramedullary nail with locking plate in the treatment of two-part proximal humerus fractures.Methods PubMed,SpringerLink,EMBASE,The Cochrane Library,Medline,Science Direct,CNKI,Wanfang Data and VIP database were searched for relevant studies comparing intramedullary nailing and locking plate fixation of two-part proximal humerus fractures.A meta-analysis of the two methods was conducted using the RevMan 5.0.Differences between the two methods were compared with respect to operation time,intraoperative bleeding,bone union time,Constant score and postoperative complication incidence.Results Seven studies were included in the meta-analysis,with 136 patients treated with intramedullary nail and 159 patients treated with locking plate.Intramedullary nailing showed advantages over locking plate fixation with regards to operation time (WMD =-27.71,95% CI-36.07--19.35,P < 0.05),intraoperative blood loss (WMD =-114.18,95% CI-169.91--58.45,P < 0.01) and bone union time (WMD =-2.91,95% CI-5.80--0.01,P < 0.05).While the two methods showed no significant differences in Constant score (WMD =-2.84,95 % CI-5.90--0.22,P > 0.05) and postoperative complication incidence (OR =0.89,95% CI 0.43-1.84,P > 0.05).Conclusion Intramedullary nail is superior to locking plate in operation time,intraoperative blood loss and bone union time for the treatment of two-part proximal humerus fractures,but the two methods are similar in Constant score and postoperative complications rate.

There are a lot of medical colleges which carry out foreign student medical education in our country. On the basis of clinical theory situation and problems of foreign students medical education,Xuzhou Medical College implemented a number of reform measures and achieved good teaching effect.These measures included writing new syllabus of oversea students and reforming multiform teaching methods and the pattern of examination and evaluation for clinical theory.

The positive pressure powered air-filter protective hood can prevent physicians and nurses from being infected by serious respiratory infections. The contaminated air is filtered by the high efficiency specific air-filter (HESA) and then transported into the hood by a blower to form about 140 +/- 10 Pa positive pressure environment, which makes the air in hood overflow out from the lower part of the hood, by which carbon dioxide and vapor can be removed, and excreted. The HESA's filters of simulative virus up to 99.9999% with the structure of double layers filtering. With going at 4 km/h pace on a walking vehicle wearing the hood, the testees' heart rate is 90-105/min oxygen saturation of the blood(SPO2) is 97%-98%. When the air flow is from 75 L/min to 125 L/min, this can meet the testees' physiological demand under heavy workload. Clinical trial results show that the hood can effectively protect the physicians and nurses from infection.

To investigate the effects of β-elemene on the ANG β -AT1 receptor pathway in rats with liver fibrosis,a model of hepatic fibrosis was induced by hypodermical injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) into Wistar male rats.β-elemene was intraperitonealy administered into the rats for 8 weeks (0.1 mL/100 g body weight per day).Masson staining was used to observe the liver fibrosis of rats and liver functions were measured by enzymatic kinetic analysis.The content of hydroxyproline in liver tissues was detected by specimen alkaline hydrolysis.The level of plasma ANG Ⅱ in bloodplasma was detected by radioimmunoassay.The expression of AT1R in rat liver were measured using reverse transcriptional-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry respectively.The results showed that β-elemene could reduce the collagen disposition in liver and inhibit the progression of liver fibrosis.In addition,the levels of plasma ANG Ⅱ and the expression of hepatic AT1R in rats with liver fibrosis were also suppressed by β-elemene.It is concluded that the ANG Ⅱ -AT1 receptor pathway plays an important role in the development of hepatic fibrosis and β-elemene could down-regulate the levels of plasma ANG Ⅱ and the expression of hepatic AT1R in rats with liver fibrosis.

Objective:
To develop a brief version of Quality of Life of College Students Questionnaire(QOLCS-51) to measure the quality of college students conveniently in time.
Methods:
Qualitative research and two investigations were applied to shorten and verify the brief questionnaire, and SPSS 22.0 and Lisrel 9.20 were used to analyze the reliability and validity of 2 questionnaires.
Results:
Quality of Life of College Students Questionnaire-bref was developed by deleting 22 items through qualitative research and 6 items by the first investigation. 952 college students from Jiangsu, Anhui and Shanxi Province were selected to participate in the second investigation, which consisted of five domains and 23 items (QOLCS-23). All 23 items were accepted by analysis of difficulty(0.44-0.68), and all have passed the test of critical ratio(P<0.01), the general related index was 0.33-0.60(P<0.01). 78.3% items distinguished the students with/without dyssomnia. Reliability was tested by test-retest reliability coefficient(0.71-0.86), homogeneity reliability coefficient (Cronbach α=0.845) and exploratory factor analysis (6 factors, i.e. physics domain, three subdomains of psychology domain, behavior domain, social domain and environment domain). Validity was tested by correlations of five domains between QOLCS-51 and QOLCS23(greater than 0.8) and confirmatory factor analysis(χ2/df=12.17, RMSEA=0.05, SRMR=0.07, GFI=0.84, AGFI=0.83, CFI=0.92, IFI=0.92, NFI=0.85, NNFI=0.91).
Conclusion
QOLCS51 consists of 23 items of QOLCS23, after deleting 28 items, to assess 5 dimensions of physiology, psychology, behavior, environment and social support with good construction validity and criterion-related validity, and good homogeneity reliability and re-test reliability.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disease, but it often causes extreme gastrointestinal discomfort and prolonged illness, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. The global incidence rate is increasing year by year. Clinically, western medicine mainly uses oral antispasmodics, secretagogues, and antidepressants, but there are many disadvantages such as adverse reactions and poor long-term efficacy. Therefore, finding an efficient and safe treatment method is an urgent problem to be solved. A large number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has definite curative and long-lasting effects on the treatment of IBS, which has become a hot research direction in recent years. By searching Chinese and foreign literature, it is found that electroacupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese medicine monomers, and compound decoctions are the main methods in the mechanism research of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of IBS-related pathways, and their signaling pathways involve nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB), transient receptor potential vanillin subfamily 1 (TRPV1), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine can repair intestinal inflammation, reduce visceral sensitivity, enhance intestinal mucosal barrier, and regulate intestinal motility by regulating this series of signaling pathways, thereby playing an important role in the treatment of IBS with multi-level, multi-link and multi-target characteristics. Based on the cell signaling pathways, this paper reviewed the research progress on the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of IBS, hoping to provide theoretical support and diagnosis and treatment ideas for the clinical treatment of IBS with traditional Chinese medicine.
