Objective To investigate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in northeast Sichuan area.Methods A total of 8 053 adult residents(over 18 years old)from the hospital who had underwent physical examination were recruited in the study.The concentrations of Fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1C)and blood lipids were measured.Diabetes and prediabetes were defined according to the 2013 American Diabetes Association criteria.Results The FPG and HbA1C concentra-tions increased with age.The overall prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were estimated to be 8.5% and 39.6% in the adult pop-ulation in northeast sichuan area respectively.The prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in men were significantly higher than those in women(10.7% vs.5.7%,41.5% vs.37.2%,P <0.05,respectively).Furthermore,the prevalence of diabetes increased with age,and the prevalence of prediabetes had a trend of first enhancement followed by a decline.Conclusion The prevalence of diabe-tes and prediabetes are relatively high in northeast Sichuan area.

OBJECTIVETo study the curative effect of wilsonii injecta on severe head injury (SHI).

METHODSA total of 120 patients with SHI were divided randomly into 2 groups, the patients treated with conventional methods as Group A (n=60) and the patients treated with wilsonii injecta as Group B (n=60). The changes of neural function indexes were evaluated with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) before treatment and with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after treatment, simultaneously, the parameters of hemorrheological indexes (HI), brain electrical activity map (BEAM) and transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) were observed before and after treatment.

RESULTSIn Group B, the clinical GCS, the HI, the BEAM and the prognosis GOS were improved much more than those in Group A. And the TCD parameters in Group B decreased, which had significant difference compared with that in Group A (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSWilsonii injecta can rapidly improve the injured p ersons' conscious states, the abnormal BEAM and the surviving quality. It suggests that the improvement of the HI is related to the relief of the vasospasm of the arterial blood vessels in the brain, which may be one of the important mechanisms of wilsonii injecta in improving the prognosis.

Clinical novitiate is not only a significant part in the training of basic comprehensive ability of clinical medicine students,but also a weak link in current teaching practice link. This research is guided by the educational reform of the"5+3"talent training mode and it carries out reforms by constructing three-stage novitiate mode, realizing curriculum integration and PBL teaching as well as multi-dimensional performance appraisal etc.It is student-centered and lays emphasis on developing students' autonomous learning ability,basic clinical skills and thinking ability,so as to improve the training quality of the medical professionals and provide a referable novitiate teaching mode for the training of medicine professionals under the new situation.
