To interpret the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory by the network technology, in order to promote the modernization and programming of studies on compatibility of TCMs. In this paper, efforts were made to express the direct interactions between drugs through the herb-pair network, analyze the community characteristics of the network and its relations with blood-Qi theory, and study the expression of blood-Qi theory on the herb-pair network through prescriptions. According to the findings, the herb-pairs network showed a strong community structure characteristics; Each community is composed of a series of herb pairs with close correlations, and either blood efficacy or Qi efficacy but not both of them. Based on that, the 386 single TCM ingredients involved by the herb-pair network were divided into three types of communities: Blood (B) community, Qi (Q) community and uncertain community. According to the statistical results of 262 prescriptions mapped onto the three types of communities, if a prescription contains single herbs of the Q community, the probability that it contains single herbs o the B community is 99.84%; Meanwhile, there are 140 prescriptions containing single herbs of both the Q community and the B community. The result is completely coincident with the TCM Blood-Qi theory that single herbs belong to both Q and B communities or the B community, because Qi regulation leads to blood regulation, but not vice versa. For example, a patient with hemorrhage due to trauma or blood-heat, Qi tonifying prescriptions may aggravate hemorrhage. In this paper, authors found high-recognition macroscopic network numerical characteristics to network data reference for judging rationality of new prescriptions, and proved human blood and Qi relations from the perspective of data analysis.

Objective To analyze the viewpoints of the graduate students on the effective ap-proaches in cultivating their innovations. Methods Using Eugenie Creativity Test scale and self-made questionnalre, the graduate students in a medical university were surveyed on their general informa-tion, innovation levels and viewpoints of the important links and effective approaches in cultivating the innovations. The statistical software package-SPSS 16.0 was used for questionnalres. The statistical analysis was based on chi-square test for categorical data in the levels of graduate students' innovation and variance analysis for quantitative data in graduate students' understanding of the importance of cultivating approaches. Results 1 000 questionnalres were given out and effective questionnalre 936 copies were collected. The innovations of the students were malnly medium (557/936, 59.6%) and strong (356/936, 38.0%). They thought research and practice were the most important (F=225.49, P=0.00) in the tralning links and strengthening the tutorial staff was the foremost in the cultivating ap-proaches, which was followed by the sorted tralning (F=50.36, P=0.00). Conclusion The views of the graduate students on the cultivation jobs should be pald attention to. According to this study results, the management of research and practice, tutorial staff and assorted tralning should be fully considered to advance their innovations.

Objective To observe the neuro-ophthalmological features of intracranial aneurysm.Methods 169 patients with intracranial aneurysm were retrospectively studied.45 patients, including 18 men and 27 women, had neuro ophthalmological symptoms or signs.Their average age was (56.21 ± 16.11) years and 32 (71.11％)patients' age was more than 50 years.The onset time ranged from 30 minutes to 20 years.20 (44.44％) patients' onset time was among 24 hours.CT, CT angiography, MRI, MRI angiography and cerebral digital subtraction angiography were performed alone or combined in all 45 patients.Visual acuity, pupil reflex and eye movement were examined.Clinical data including general condition, initial symptoms, neuro-ophthalmological changes, imaging data and treatment effects were recorded.Results 26.63％ of the 169 patients had neuro-ophthalmological symptoms or signs.There were 6 patients (13.33％) with neuro ophthalmological changes as their first manifestation and 39 patients (86.67 ％) with neurologic changes as first manifestation.Neuro-ophthalmological symptoms included vision loss (10 patients, 22.22％), diplopia (4 patients, 8.89％) and ocular pain (2 patients, 4.44％).The most common neuro-ophthalmological sign was pupil abnormality which was found in 31 patients (68.89 ％).The second most common sign was eye movement disorder (16 patients, 35.56％).The other signs included ptosis (8 patients, 17.78％), nystagmus (2 patients, 4.44％), exophthalmos (1 patient, 2.22％) and disappeared corneal reflection (1 patient, 2.22％).Imaging examination indicated that intracranial hemorrhage happened in 29 patients (64.44％).The most common neuro-ophthalmological features were pupil abnormality, eye movement disorder and vision loss in both patients with or without intracranial hemorrhage.The incidence of pupil abnormality was higher in patients with intracranial hemorrhage than that without intracranial hemorrhage, the difference was statistically significant (x2=7.321, P=0.007).Pupil abnormality and vision loss were common in patients with internal carotid artery aneurysm, and eye movement disorder was common in patients with internal carotid artery aneurysm and posterior communicating aneurysms.Conclusions Patients with intracranial aneurysm have different neuroophthalmological features.The most common features are pupil abnormality, eye movement disorder and vision loss.

Objective To survey on the graduate students about their own requirements, the guid-ance of tutors and the compliance, and put the gists for the educators and administrators. Methods Using the comprehensive questionnaires including Eugenie Creativity Test and Motivation Scale, the investigation surveyed on 900 graduate students in a medical university about their requirements and tutors' concerned aspects in their opinions, which was whether influenced by Intelligence (creativity), the Non-Intelligence factors (motivation) or not. Epidata 3.1 was used to input data of the investigation, and SPSS 16.0 statistical software was used to analyze it. The items were set as multiple-choices, and the percent of responses was used. Results The students thought the tutors' concerned aspects were mainly creative thinking [61.1%(1129/1847)], research methods [58.2%(1075/1847), specialty knowledge [41.8%(772/1847)], scientific spirit
[35.4%(654/1847)], academic morality [24.3%(516/2124)] and book knowledge [5.4%(100/1847) ], while the graduate students paid more attention to its research methods [72.4%(1538/2124)], innovative thinking [64.0%(1359/2124), professional knowledge [60.0%(1274/2124)], the spirit of science [33.9%(720/2124)], academic morality [24.3%(516/2124)] and book knowledge [10.0%(212/2124)]. The percentages of research methods and specialty knowledge concerned by most of the students were higher than those tutors' con-cerned in the students' opinion. The percentages of specialty knowledge concerned by the students with high innovation and motivation were 56.2%(443/789) and 58%(345/595), which were higher than those concerned by the tutors 38.5%(255/662) and 29.4%(148/503). Conclusion In the students' opinion, tutors concerned more creative thinking, the students concerned more research methods, while they concerned similarly in the other aspects. For the students, the guidance of the tutors cannot still meet their study demands, espe-cially in research methods and specialty knowledge. Those with different motivations and innovations have different study requirements.
