Objective To explore the effect of TBL based on evidence-based medicine PICOS model in practice teaching of neurology. Methods Totally 47 medical undergraduates in our department were chosen and randomly divided into 2 groups during March 2016 to April 2016. 24 students in the trial group were taught with TBL based on PICOS, while other 23 students in the control group were only taught with conventional TBL method. After three times clinical practices, the test referring to disease pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis and treatments of related diseases was performed, and meanwhile, questionnaires were distributed to students in order to survey their satisfaction degree of teaching methods. All the evaluation results and scores of two groups were compared. Statistical data were analyzed by using t-test or Chi-square test with SPSS 17.0 software. Results The score of the theoretical test of trial group was significantly superior to the control group [(89.08±3.60) vs. (79.09±7.75), t=5.707, P=0.03 ]. Survey showed that in the experimental group , the number of students in the trial group who thought teaching method could help understand clinical thinking of neurology and could help integrate the theory into clinical practicewas significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the clinical teaching of neurology, the TBL based on PICOS model is more effective than conventional TBL method for medical undergraduates.

SHG was sulfated by chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method, and six samples which we got were prepared in different reaction conditions. There is a characteristic absorption peak near 260 nm in UV spectra and there are two characteristic absorption peaks near 1240 cm(-1) and 810 cm(-1) in the FT-IR. Degree of sulfation (DS) was calculated by elemental analysis and turbidimetry. Under the same conditions the absorption peaks become strong with the DS increase. The anticoagulant activity of SHG and sulfated modification samples was evaluated by the classic coagulant assays of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT) live enzymes, and plasma thrombin time (TT). Results show that sulfated SHG has a good anticoagulant activity in vitro, and DS increased activity within a certain range.

Objectives To investigate clinic outcome of ticagrelor in treatment of patients with acute ST-segment elevation my ocardial infarction receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods Sixty-two consecutive patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included in this study.The clinic characteristics,thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) refuse after PCI,clinical outcomes after 30 d of patients were compared between patients who were treated with ticagrelor (group A 30 cases) and clopidogrel (group B 32 cases).Results There was no difference in the age,proportion of women,hypertension,and diabetics (P ＞ 0.05).TIMI 3 refuse after PCI were significantly higher in group A than group B (96.7％ vs 87.5％,P ＜ 0.05).The 30 d re-angina pectoris was lower in group A than group B (3.3％ vs 12.5％,P ＜0.05).However,tiny bleeding of group A was higher than group B (13.3％ vs 3.1％,P ＜0.05).Conclusions Ticagrelortreatment can improve the prognosis of STEMI receiving primary PCI,but increase the risk of bleeding.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic strategies of one patient with meningioangiomatosis ( MA ) complicated with intracranial aneurysm formation. Methods The clinical data of one patient with aneurysm-formed MA admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University was analyzed retrospectively. The patient received emergency craniotomy and middle cerebral artery aneurysm clipping and evacuation of intracranial hematoma. The meningeal tissue around the aneurysm was taken for pathological examination. Results Microscopy revealed meningeal thickening in the patient with MA accompanied with intracranial aneurysm. Spindle cells around the meninges and perivascular tissue of cortical hyperplasia formed an annular and fence-like structure. The results of immunohistochemistry showed the hyperplastic vessels and perivascular fibroblast like spindle cells diffuse vimentin-positive;the hyperplastic vascular endothelial cells CD99,CD34 were positive;and the residual glial cells in the lesions showed glial fibrillary acidic protein positive. Conclusion MA complicated with intracranial aneurysm is rare. The vascular condition is poor. The shape of aneurysm is irregular,and the risk of bleeding is high. Excise the involved meningeal tissue and clip the aneurysm with microsurgical operation is the resonable treatment.

Objective To investigate the impacts of mecobalamin on plasma inflammatory factors (plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) and carotid artery plaques in patients with H type hypertension.Methods Forty-eight acute ischemic stroke patients who were diagnosed with H type hypertension in the People's Hospital of Taixing were collected,and they were randomly divided them into treatment group and control group,and 24 cases of each group.Patients in both groups were given conventional therapies,including treatment of anti platelet aggregation,plaque stability and reduced plaque treatment.While patients in the treatment group were given additional oral drug of mecobalamin,500 μg each time,three times a day,6 months in all.Each case was evaluated at the second day of hospitalization,four weeks later,eight weeks later,three months and sixth months later.The examination items involved included level of plasma homocysteine(Hcy),level of hsCRP and conditions of carotid artery plaques under ultrasonography.Results Aafter four weeks,eight weeks,three months and sixth months therapy,there were significant differences between treatment group and control group in terms of Hcy (t =4.049,3.896,6.052,6.159 ; P ＜ 0.05) and the level of hs-CRP (t =37.249,28.376,26.454,0.522P ＜ 0.01).Afrter three months and sixth months therapy,compared to the control group,the carotid artery plaques were obviously reduced,and the differences were statistically significant (t =2.309,2.434 ; P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Mecobalamin can reduce the level of plasma homocysteine,then lead to reductions of levels of plasma inflammatory factors and volume of carotid artery plaques.

Objective To explore the method of the major hospital indexes examination using clinical pathway as an opportunity.Methods Based on the material of our hospital from 2008 to 2010,reference the data of the same level hospital in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,we set the benchmark and formulated the examination standard of three examination indexes:average length of stay (ALOS),average hospitalization expense and drug proportion.Meanwhile,we took the subentry incentives to give the corresponding reward to clinical departments according to the decreases rate compared with the benchmark monthly.Results ALOS,average hospitalization expense and drug proportion of department and the whole hospital were obviously decreased compared with the same period last year,and the differences were statistically significant (Medical system:t =27.479,14.462,11.362,all P ＜ 0.01 ; Surgical system:t =18.944,16.029,12.071,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion After using the examination methods and combining clinical pathway,the effects are obvious,which can effectively shorten ALOS,reduce average hospitalization expense and drug proportion,so as to relieve the patients' economic burden.

Objective To study the effect of angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) on apoptosis in endothelial cells(EC). Methods Human umbilical endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and treated with AngⅡ in various concentrations alone and in combination with fumonisin B1(FB1, an inhibitor of ceramidase). TUNEL was employed to determine the apoptosis of the cultured EC. The bax mRNA and protein levels of EC were detected by RT-PCR and Western-blot techniques. Results The results showed that the number of apoptotic cells was significantly higher in AngⅡ-treated endothelium than in the control group(P0.05). Conclusion AngⅡ may induce apoptosis of endothelial cells via ceramide and up-regulating the bax mRNA and protein expression. Ceramide is the upper stream of bax and induces apoptosis by bax pathway.
