CBS(Case Based Study)is a new teaching method,which is based on the case given.It requires students to answer questions according to the case. In the teaching,the students who are divided into groups,seek for resolvent by themselves. They should combine the information provided in the case,find the key answer and the relationship.The students gain the knowledge by reviewing and studying in the textbook,then analyse and solve questions with them. The application of CBS could make knowledge more relatively and systematic, moreover,it also make study more actively and initiatively.

Objective: To investigate the value of the trigeminocervical response (TCR) for revealing bulbar
involvement in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). Methods: Thirty patients
with SBMA and 30 healthy male controls were included in this study. In all of the normal controls,
stimulation of the infraorbital nerve on one side produced bilateral short latency waves consisting
of a positive/negative wave, p19/n31, the mean latency of which was measured. The mean square
root of the ratio between the amplitude of p19/n31 and the mean rectifi ed surface electromyography
(EMG) activity preceding the stimulus, the A value, was estimated. The parameters of the TCR
were compared between the two groups. Results: Among the patients with SBMA, 21 (70.0%) had
delayed latencies of p19/n31 (P < 0.01) and all (100%) had reduced A values (P < 0.01) relative to
the normal controls.
Conclusions: All parameters of the TCR were signifi cantly different between the patients with SBMA
and the normal controls. T

PBL(Problem-Based Learning, PBL) is a problem-oriented and effective supplementary teaching method. PBL is giving a great help to improve self-learning, communication and cooperation, thinking and problems solving abilities for the students. In the process of PBL teaching, attention should be paid to two important items. One item is the role transfer for the teacher. Teacher is only a guider in PBL teaching, teacher should avoid excessive interfere of the process for keeping the passion and enthusiasm of the students. Meanwhile, students should always be realized that they are the main part in PBL teaching, they should not depend on their teacher too much. Another important item is how to find and solve the frequently encountered problems, in order to avoid students wandering from the subject, and lead them toward the main goal to get effective teaching and learning.

Objective To search for a method to differentiate the peripherial and central part of spinothalamic tract. Methods The subjects were set on supine position. A heat-foil technology was used to elicit pain and contact heat evoked potentials (CHEP). Thermal stimuli were sent at 54.5 ℃ to three body sites: the dorsum of hand, proximal volar foratm and C7. CHEP was recorded from Cz and Pz. The main components of CHEP were watched. Nerve conduction velocity was calculated. Results Two components, Cz/N550 and Cz/P750, were found in the evoked potentials. The latency of CHEP were different when the dorsum of hand, proximal volar forarm and C, were stimulated respectively. There was no statistical difference between males and females. Nerve conduction velocity of the fiber was (12.9±7.5) m/s which was corresponded to that of AS fiber. Conclusion It is suggested that pain evoked potential could be elicited reliably,the stimulation of C7 would help differentiate the lesion of peripherial and central part of spinothalamic tract.

AIM: To assess the degree of oxidative damage during acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion, and to clarify the protective effect of Tongxinluo in mini-swine model. METHODS: Thirty mini-swines were randomized into 5 study groups: sham group, model group, low dose (0.05 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), medium dose (0.2 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) and high dose (0.5 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) of Tongxinluo groups (pretreated with Tongxinluo for 3 d). Animals except in sham group were subjected to 3 h of coronary occlusion followed by 1 h of reperfusion. Concentrations of total antioxidative capability (T-AOC), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood sample and the myocardium were measured. RESULTS: (1) T-AOC, T-SOD and GSH in serum significantly decreased (all P<0.05), while MDA significantly increased (P<0.01) at 3 h after AMI in comparison with those at baseline. Compared to those at 3 h after AMI, the contents of T-AOC, T-SOD and GSH at 1 h after reperfusion significantly decreased (all P<0.01), accompanied by increase of MDA (P<0.01). (2) Compared to those in normal area, levels of T-AOC, T-SOD and GSH in reperfusion myocardium decreased significantly (all P<0.01) and MDA increased significantly (P<0.01). T-AOC, T-SOD and GSH in no-reflow myocardium further decreased (all P<0.01) and MDA increased (P<0.01) as compared to those in reperfusion myocardium. (3) Compared to model group, medium dose of Tongxinluo increased the contents of T-AOC and T-SOD and reduced MDA production in serum at 3 h after AMI (all P<0.05), while medium dose of Tongxinluo increased T-SOD level at 1 h after reperfusion (P<0.05). High dose of Tongxinluo increased the levels of T-AOC and T-SOD and decreased MDA content in serum at 3 h after AMI and 1 h after reperfusion (all P<0.05). (4) The medium dose of Tongxinluo increased T-AOC content (P<0.05) and reduced MDA (P<0.05) in reperfusion myocardium, while high dose of Tongxinluo increased T-AOC, T-SOD and GSH (all P<0.05), reduced MDA (P<0.01) in reperfusion myocardium, and also increased T-AOC, T-SOD (all P<0.05), reduced MDA (P<0.01) in no-reflow area as compared to those in model group. CONCLUSION: Impairment of antioxidant defense system in vivo and imbalance of redox homeostasis in myocardium region might play an important role in the pathogenesis of no-reflow after myocardial acute infarction following reperfusion. Tongxinluo protects myocardium from reperfusion injury by improving antioxidant defense and attenuating oxidative damage.
