Objective To evaluate the changes of the lower limber somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in patients with delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning.Methods The tibial nerve SEPs were performed in 32 healthy adults and 40 patients with delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Wave N22, P40, N50, P60, N75 latency and N22～P40 interpeaklatencies were measured, respectively.Results 30 patients (75%) indicated abnormalities of tibial nerve SEPs. The latencies of cortical potential of wave P40 [(41.92?2.49)ms], N50 [(52.13?4.29) ms], P60 [(64.37?4.98) ms] and N75 [(80.84?4.73)ms] in patient group were longer than those in control group (all P

Objective To discuss some problems about current learning objectives for the speciality of clinical medicine in China,including the concepts,the decision-making systems and value-orientation,and to provide the reference for stipulating the learning objectives in future. Methods The objectives of some Chinese medical universities were collected from their websites.Some medical educators were consulted about their feelings about these learning objectives,and also were asked to identify their own objectives. Results Medical educators failed to distinguish their own objectives,and there were four main problems in current learning objectives: generalization,similarity and lack of individuality,difficulty in guide the curricula and teaching,and setting up too high object. Conclusion The learning objectives in clinical medicine should reflect both specialty characteristic and university individuality,so they should be drawn up by teachers,students and educatirnal administrators,moreover their value orientation should be eligible standard,not excellence.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of the Chinese traditional medicine combined with traction and physical therapeutic on lumbar intervertebral discprolapse (LIDP).Methods95 LIDP patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (50 cases) and control group (45 cases). Patients of the treatment group were treated by Chinese traditional medicine, traction and physical therapy. Patients of the control group were treated by traction and physical therapy only.ResultsThe total clinical effective rate of the treatment group was 100%, but that of the control group was 75.6%, there was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionChinese traditional medicine therapeutics is an effective non-surgical therapeutics for LIDP.

Vitexin, a naturally occurring flavone glycoside in plants, has many pharmacological effects, which is widely distributed in nature. This paper reviewed the research progress of the distribution of vitexin in the plant resources and its pharmacological effects, and summarized its application prospects, aiming to provide a useful reference for the development of vitexin-enriched plant resources.

After comparing the varieties of parameters in batch culture under different dissolved oxygen tension by Bacillus pumilus, we found that the demand of cell on oxygen in different phase isn' t consistent. Based on the analys is of the metabolic pathway of oxygen and the mechanism of the effect of dissolved oxygen tension on fermentation of D-ribose, a two-stage oxygen-supply control mode was proposed and experimentally proved to be available. High ribose yield and high glucose consumption rate were achieved during whole process for 44h, and the ultimate ribose concentration and cell concentration were 5.0% and 18.8% higher than former respectively.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) gene modified mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs-bFGF)on cerebral isehemia in rats.Methods MSCs or MSCs-bFGF were transplanted into rat models of focal cerebral ischemia by intravenous injection.The neurological deficits and infarction volumes were evaluated,and the survival rate and differentiation of grafted MSCs were observed by double immunofiuoreseent labeling.Results In the rat cerebral ischemic model, both MSCs and MSCs-bFGF showed protective effect on the rats in comparison with control group.However, the protective effect was more significant in MSCs-bFGF group.Double immunofluorescent staining showed the number of BrdU-labeled and NeuN co-expression cells in MSCs-bFGF treated animals(127.40?7.43 and 11.20?3.09)were much more than in those of MSCs treated animals.While there was no significant difference between MSCs-bFGF and MSCs group in the number of GFAP co-expression cells.Conclusion MSCs transplantation has protective effect on cerebral ischemia in rats.Basic fibroblast growth factor gene modified MSCs is more effective than MSCs in neuroproteetion.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of electroencephalograph(EEG)biofeedback on clinical symptoms and cognitive function of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods Twenty children aged(10.4?2.2)years old who were diagnosed as ADHD according to American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders the 4th ed received EEG biofeedback treatment.The treatment was administered by Autogenic A620 machine,? wave(4-8 Hz)was suppressed and sensory motor rate wave was strengthened(12-15 Hz)at the same time.The treatment was total 40 times.Before and after treatment,Conner's Behavior Rating Scale-parent questionnaire was administered to assess the clinical symptoms,wechsler memory scale(WMS)to assess the long-term memory,short-term memory and instantaneous memory,number cancellation test and stroop test were used to assess the cognitive process speed and selective attention,and continuous performance test(CPT)was administered to assess the attention and impulsiveness.The children in healthy control group who compared with ADHD children by one to one came from the primary or middle school near the hospital,the age difference between ADHD child and healthy control group was within 6 months.All the measurements were administered to the healthy control group.Results After the EEG biofeedback treatment,the score of behavior factor in Conners Scale decreased significantly(P0.05).Conclusions Forty sessions EEG biofeedback can improve clinical symptoms,attention,memory,selective attention and cognitive process speed of ADHD children significantly,some indicators even become normal.

Objective To investigate the clinical teaching situation by using developmental inspection of School of Medicine,Shanghai Jiaotong University(SJTU-SM),and to put forward some suggestions. Methods By checking questionnaires and informal discussions,the relevant information was collected and analyzed by using SPSS statistics sofware. Results The clinical teaching quality of SJTU-SM was basically satisfied.The satisfaction from internship of grade 2004 was better than that of grade 2003.However,some problems in clinical teaching must be improved.Conclusion The investigation showed that the clinical teaching quality of SJTU-SM is being improving.However,in order to achieve the international accreditation standards,the quality guarantee system of clinical teaching need to be further perfected.
