The principal investigator responsibility system has been progressively under implementation at some of the domestic medical universities. However, since there are big differences between military medical universities and civilian ones in terms of organizational structures, tasks to be committed, functions and personnel systems, military medical universities have to consider own characteristics and well handle the following four pairs of relations in the process of implementing principal investigator responsibility system: the relation between the subject groups and the teaching and research sections, the relation between the subject research and the discipline construction, the relation between the subject research and the personnel training, and the relation between the collective assessment and the individual assessment in the process of performance assessment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of preventing tendon adhesion by using bFGF/ vitamin C composite biodegradable membrane.MethodsSixty Newzerland rabbits were divided into experimental and control groups randomly.After the animal model was established, the tendon autografts were encapsulated with the bFGF/vitamin C composite biodegradable membrane in experimental group, while no tendon autografts encapsulation in control.Three weeks after surgery, regular HE staining and AgNO3 staining were performed to observe the fibroblast nuclei and vitamin C.The quantity of collagen fibrils was measured by Luzex-F Image Analyzer.Eight weeks after surgery, the peritendinous adhesion and the maximum tensile load were analyzed.Results At 3 weeks after surgery, the numbers of vitamin C granules, fibroblast nuclei and collagen fibrils in the experimental group were significantly more than those in the control group(t = 11.78 ,P ＜0.001) .At 8 weeks after surgery, the peritendinous adhesion in the experimental group was significantly slighter than that in the control group(Z =3.922,P ＜0.005) ,and the maximum tensile load in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (t = 8.39, P ＜ 0.001) .ConclusionbFGF/vitamin C composite biodegradable membrane can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts and synthesis of collagen fibrils,improve the biomechanical property of tendon autografts and prevent the tendon adhesion.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of modified and traditional posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods A retrospective review was made on 47 patients who sustained monosegmental L4.5 stenosis due to lumbar degenerative revise and characterized by typical intermittent claudication and single or both limb numbness and pain.The patients were randomly allocated to Group A and Group B using the lottery method.Group A (n =24) consisted of 10 males and 14 females at mean age of 52 years (range,47-66 years) and the course of disease averaged 13 months (range,9-23 months).Group B (n =23) contained 8 males and 15 females at mean age of 53 years (range,49-67 years) and the course of disease averaged 11.5 months (range,6-22months).Modified PLIF including spinous process replantation combined with canal H-shaped bone grafting for posterior column reconstruction and interbody fusion was performed in Group A.Traditional PLIF,namely posterior spinal decompression and interbody fusion,was performed in Group B.Waist function rehabilitation after surgery of the patients in the two groups was assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and postoperative results were analyzed.Results There were no significant differences between Groups A and B regarding the operation time [(1 90 ± 15.66) min vs (170 ± 11.32) min] and intraoperative blood loss [(980 ± 35.58) ml vs (879 ± 21.25) ml] (P ＞ 0.05).Mean period of follow-up was 20 months (range,12-28 months).Postoperative results in Group A were graded as excellent in 19cases,good in three,fair in two and poor in zero,with excellence rate of 88％.While in Group B,the results were excellent in 13 cases,good in four,fair in four and poor in two,with excellence rate of 74％(P ＜ 0.05).ODI score and symptom improvement rate after operation were better in Group A than in Group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The modified PLIF including spinous process replantation combined with canal H-shaped bone grafting for posterior column reconstruction is relatively an ideal surgical technique for treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis and deserves wide promotion.

Objective To explore the effect of secondary brain injury(SBI) in high-risk factors and brain malignant encephaiocele during surgical operation for severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Carried on the grouping graduation to 112 patients with severe traumatic brain injury according to SBI's high-risk factors:non-high-risk factors group (pure group) 23 cases, high-risk factors group (SBI group) 89 cases, 1 level of high-risk factors group had 27 cases, 2 level of high-risk factors group had 28 cases, 3 level of high-risk factors group had 34 cases. Results Carried on the comprehensive therapy regarding the above patients, the brain malignant encephalocele rate in the SBI group and the pure group was 59.55% (53/89) and 13.04%(3/23) respectively, there was significant statistics differences in the two groups,1 level and 2 level of high-risk factors group of brain malignant encephalocele rate was 40.74% (11/27) and 53.57% (15/28) respectively, the difference was not obvious statistics significance, 2 level and 3 level of high-risk factors group of brain malignant eneephalocele rate was 53.57%(15/28) and 79.41%(27/34) respectively, the difference was obvious statistics significance. Conclusions The SBI's high-risk factors are the important factors affecting severe craniocerebral injury encephalocele. Taking adequate pre-operative assessment, carrying a comprehensive treatment on the patients combine with high-risk factors of SBI can greatly reduced the incidence of brain malignant encephalocele during surgical operation if the high-risk factors of SBI is controlled.

Objective: To determine the hemoglobin level and blood pressure and the factors that influence their recovery in relocated workers who were unfit for duties at high altitude. Methods: The physical examination data of 693 relocated workers who previously worked at high altitude were dynamically monitored from January 2006 to June 2015 in order to examine the recovery of hemoglobin level and blood pressure. Results: The rate of hemoglobin recovery was 81.37% among the 161 relocated workers with abnormal hemoglobin levels, and the rate of blood pressure recovery was 69.51% among the 164 relocated workers with abnormal blood pressure. The rates of hemoglobin and blood pressure recovery were decreased in individuals aged 40 years and older. The peak recovery time of hemoglobin was 11-15 months following relocation, and that of blood pressure was 5-7 months and 11-13 months following relocation. The half-year blood pressure recovery rate and 2-year hemoglobin recovery rate following relocation were significantly higher in workers who worked at 2500-3000 m altitude than in those at ≥3000 m (P<0.05) . Total cholesterol and educational level were factors that influence the half-year blood pressure recovery in relocated workers (P<0.05) . Conclusion The rate of hemoglobin and blood pressure recovery are high among relocated workers who previously worked at high altitude. Factors that influence blood pressure, such as total cholesterol, should be closely monitored so that high-altitude workers with abnormal blood pressure and hemoglobin level can be relocated as early as possible.

Objective: To understand the association between bullying and anxiety symptoms of boarding middle school students, and to provide a scientific basis for preventing bullying and promoting mental health of boarding middle school students. Methods: By using stratified cluster random sampling method, 2 823 students were selected from 10 schools in Anyang, Henan Province. Questionnaire survey using self-designed bullying items and Mental Health Scale of Chinese Middle School Students was administered. Results: The overall prevalence of school bullying was 37.9%， with boarding school students(38.9%) being higher than non-boarding school students (37.1%). The anxiety symptom reporting rate of boarding students (42.9%) was higher than that of non-boarding students (27.3%). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with non-boarding students, bully victim and bully perpetuator/victim students were more likely to have anxiety symptoms (OR=2.30, 6.04，1.94, 4.23) (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a correlation between different roles of campus bullying and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non-boarding school students. Boarding school students have a higher risk of anxiety symptoms, especially among those with both experiences of bully perpetuator/victim.

Objective: To analyze the heart rate changes and risk factors, as a result of high altitude. Methods: Retrospective analysis of echocardiographic data of plateau workers at a railway maintenance company from 2006 to 2013. The survival curve method was used to analyze the abnormal rate of the heart. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: In the first occurrence of cardiac abnormalities, the main types of abnormalities were right atrium enlargement (53.47%) , right ventricle enlargement (17.36%) , and tricuspid regurgitation (16.67%) . Cox regression analysis showed that workplace altitude and first physical examination age are two influencing factors of cardiac abnormalities, and their relative risk was 1.661 and 1.039. At high altitudes (3 600~4 000 m) , nearly 40% of workers heart has not changed. But this adaptation does not observed in the ultra-high altitudes (≥4 000 m) . Conclusion There are individual differences in human adaptability to high altitude. We should take more stringent measures of health care for older people and those who work at more than 4000m. And we should abide by the rotation system for railways that are suitable for the plateau.
