Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(16):2472-2474
Objective To explore flora of patients with recurrent oral ulcer,to analyze the relationship between oral microecology and recurrent oral ulcer.Methods The saliva of 20 patients with recurrent oral ulcer,21 patients with recurrent oral ulcer healing,20 healthy volunteers were collected.Gb marked as gram-negative bacilli,Gb+marked as gram-positive bacteria,Gc marked as gram-negative cocci,Gc+ as standard standard of Gram-positive cocci.The oral flora was quantitatively analyzed.Neisseria,Streptococcus,Wei Rongshi bacteria content in the saliva were analyzed in the three groups.The oral microecology changes was studied.Results Wei Rong bacteria and streptococci content value in the ulcer group were significantly lower than the healthy control group (P < 0.05).Neisseria and Wei Rong bacteria content between healing group and ulcer group had significant differences (P < 0.05).A streptococci value of the healing group was significantly lower than the healthy control group(P < 0.05).Conclusion Recurrent oral ulcer has correlation with oral microecology,Wei Rongshi bacteria content is closely related with the incidence of recurrent oral ulcer and may maintain the stable of oral environment.

Visualized concept map can develop the ability of self-learning ability, knowledge integration ability and teaming and collaboration ability in medical students. Concept map is also a useful tool for improving student learning and clinical reasoning. Application of concept map in inte-grated problem based learning curriculum of basic medical sciences may promote meaningful learning and enhance the efficacy of PBL.

Aim To study the screening of the nucleo-tide sequences might be affected by α-syn in vitro. Methods The nucleotide sequences were synthesized according to the feature of base composition, and then mixed with the α-syn-GFP. The CD was used to ana-lyse the changes of the peak. Result The peak of the CD changed greatly when the α-syn-GFP mixed with the GC-box like sequence. Conclusion The α-syn-GFP might affect the GC-box like sequence after trans-located into the nuclei. Then, it plays a role in physio-logical and pathological conditions by affecting the reg-ulation of gene expression.

Objective To evaluate the utility of short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence in the diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis ( HS).Methods Twenty-one patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy without neoplasm lesions or injuries by conventional MRI sequence including T1WI,T2WI and FLAIR were included in this study.STIR imaging in axial,coronal and sagittal sequences was performed on these patients. Diagnosis of HS was based on the findings of hippocampal atrophy,alteration signal,disturbed internal structure and enlargement of the inferior horn. The findings shown on conventional MRI were compared with those on STIR sequence. Furthermore,the correlation of radiologic and histological findings was investigated in 6 patients operated for refractory seizures. Results On conventional MRI sequence,14 patients (66.7%) were confirmed with unilateral HS and 4 patients were suspected with unilateral HS. In contrast,all these 18 patients (85.7%) were confirmed with unilateral HS by STIR.Particularly,STIR sequence delineated the internal structure of hippocampus more clearly than conventional MRI sequences did. C shaped contour in subiculum-CA1-CA2 was revealed in normal hippocampus on STIR sequence and disappeared in HS,correlated to the pathology finding of loss of neuron in CA1 in resected tissues in 6 operated patients.The patients with HS also showed areas of hypodensity in CA4 on STIR,in accordance with pathologic findings of gliosis in this area in the 6 operated patients.Conclusion STIR sequence could depict the internal anatomical structure of hippocampus with high resolution superior to conventional MRI sequences,and can be of great value in the diagnosis of HS.

Objective In the context of worldwide shortage of amytal,explore the intracarotidpropofol test for lateralizing language area and assessing hemispheric memory function.Methods Fourteen patients with refractory partial epilepsy who were candidates for surgical intervention were included in the study.With guide under a digital subtraction angiography,propofol was injected in bilateral intracarotidsequentially.Muscle power deceasing to level 0 at the contralateral limb and eyes gazing to contralateral side were used as the mark of hemispheric anesthesia completely.The immediate language alterations were recorded.To evaluate the bilateral language and memory functions,the visual and auditory memory tasks were performed sequentially once patient could concentrate his attention ; and after limb muscle power recovering to normal level,patients were required to perform a free recall test.Any abnormal responses were recorded.Results Language dominant hemisphere was determined in 14 patients.Nine patients were confirmed as left language dominance,2 patients were right language dominance.The remained 3 patients were considered as bilateral language dominance.Meanwhile,the hemispheric memory function was able be evaluated in 13 patients.More than 67% memory function was sustained in hemisphere contralateral to mesial temporal lesions.Transient responses including eye pain,facial muscle spasms,laughers and involuntary movements were observed.Conclusion Hemispheric language and memory functions can be assessed with direct intracarotidpropofol injection,and propofol could be an alternative drug to amobarbital used in the Wada test.

Objective:To explore the relation of new-type drug using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress in secondary vocational school students.Methods:A total of 2692 secondary vocational school students in Zhaoqing,Guangdong Province were selected.The questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention,General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES),and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were respectively used to assess the secondary vocational school students'new-type drugs using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress.Path analysis model was used to analyze the relationship of new-type drugs using intention,self-efficacy,and perceived stress among secondary vocational school students.Results:There were 13.6% (295/2165) of the secondary vocational school students reported an intention to use new-type drugs.The total scores of GSES and PSS were (2.4 ±0.5) and (18.8 ±5.0),respectively.The results of path analysis showed that,after controlling for age,gender,and residence,the scores of GSES were negatively correlated with the scores of PSS (γ =-0.21,P <0.001),and the scores of PSS were positively correlated with the scores of questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention (γ =0.05,P < 0.05).However,the scores of GSES showed no significant direct correlation with the scores of questionnaire of new-type drugs using intention (γ =0.04,P > 0.05).Conclusion:The secondary vocational school students' level of perceived stress are positively correlated with their intention to use new-type drugs.Self-efficacy might moderate the individual's level of perceived stress,thus to show indirect correlation to the secondary vocational school students' intention.
