The cultivation of medical talents is the main goal of medical postgraduate training. Zunyi Medical University innovates many aspects of postgraduate education, including student sources, spirit of scientific research, curriculum setting, assessment mechanism and quality control, etc. It fo-cuses on cultivating students' practical and innovative abilities through developing professional-typed education, constructing excellent courses, and boosting students' core competitiveness.

[Summary] Osteoporosis in elderly women are commonly accompanied by elevated levels of ferritin. Abnormal iron metabolism plays a key role in the progress of osteoporosis. Research on bone metabolic disorders caused by iron accumulation remains at the exploratory stage, including NF-κB pathway in differentiation of osteoclasts. A review on the relationship between NF-κB pathway and osteoporosis induced by iron accumulation is herewith presented, with a view to provide further ideas for transforming the clinical outcomes.

Medical postgraduates are the future core force of clinical diagnosis and treatment,scientific research,education and sanitary administration.Therefore,to cultivate qualified professionals,the key of contemporary medical postgraduate education is to pay more attention to comprehensive quality training in order to make students adapt to the continuous development of society and medical model.The First Clinical College in Wuhan University has implemented the hospital administration internship in combination with social needs and explored the education model of contemporary medical students with comprehensive quality.

BACKGROUND: Cervical spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) is a special type of spinal cord injury. Because of the particularity of children in the period of growth and development on the aspects of anatomy and biomechanics, their injured mechanism and therapeutic method differ from those of adults.OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical feature and therapy of first-episode cervical SCIWORA in children.DESIGN: Retrospective analysis and self pre-and post-control observation.SETTING: Department of Spine Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital,Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 14 patients with cervical SCIWORA, who were treated at the Departmentof Spine Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital,Harbin Medical University between June 1997 and June 2003. Inclusive criteria: ①patients who had dysfunction of sensation, exercise and sphincter to different degree in clinic, ②patients who had no fracture dislocation after cervical vertebra X-ray plain film and MRI examination. The MRI examination showed the sign of spinal cord injury. T1WI spinal cord became thick. T2WI distributed at strip-shape high-signal region along spinal prosenchyma and spread upward and downward. There were 3 patients with complete spinal cord injury and 11 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury, among the patients with incomplete injury, there were 6 patients with central cord syndrome (CCS), 3 with Brown-Sequard syndrome and 2withfrontal spinal cord injury syndrome.METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed in 14 children patients with cervical SCIWORA. Thirteen patients were not treated with operation and one patient was treated with cervical posterior atlantoaxial fusion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ASIA grading before and after treatment in patients.RESULTS: There were 1 dead patient and 13 cases with 3-year follow up averagely. Three patients were with insignificant amelioration, and others had recovery of limb function to different degree. According to ASIA grading standard, before treatment there were 3 cases in A grade, 5 cases in B grade, 5 cases in C grade and 1 case in D grade, and after treatment there were 1 case recovering to B grade, 2 cases to C grade, 5 cases to D grade and 2 cases to E grade.CONCLUSION: Restoration of neurofunction of children with cervical SCIWORA has closely correlation with degree of primary injury of spinal cord. Most of the patients were not treated with operation, and those with obviously instable cervical vertebra can be treated with operation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of brainstem auditory evoked potentials(BAEP) and somatic evoked potentials (SEP) with therapeutic outcome of brain stem hemorrhage patients.MethodsBAEP and SEP were detected in the early period of 25 caees with brain stem hemorrhage by evoked potential instrument,and were surveilled dynamically.ResultsThere was good prognosis in the patients whose BAEP and SEP were normal in the first time and repeated detection.Poor prognosis happened in ones whose BAEP and SEP were abnormal in the first time and repeated detection.The difference was significant between them(P＜0.05).ConclusionCombined detection and dynamic surveillance of BAEP and SEP could predict accurately the curative result of patients with brain stem hemorrhage.

Objective To explore the curative effect of standard craniotomy with large bone flap of the treatment for frontal-temporal severe craniocerebral injury patients.Methods Standard craniotomy with large bone flap was performed on 63 patients with frontal-temporal severe craniocerebral injury.All postoperative patients were followed up.The curative effect was assessed according to GOS.Results All patients were followed up for 1 year.According to the GOS,28 cases recovered well,12 cases became moderately disabled,4 cases were severely disabled,3 cases was in vegetative state and 16 cases died.The mortality rate was 25.4%.Conclusions Standard craniotomy with large bone flap is the best method of the treatment for frontal-temporal severe craniocerebral injury.Timely and thoroughly standard craniotomy with large bone flap for frontal-temporal severe craniocerebral injury patients can significantly improve the the curative effect of the patients and reduce the rate of mortality.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of azithromycin on ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Sixty-four AS patients with active disease were enrolled in this study. Among them, thirty-two AS patients (treatment group)received Azithromycin treatment at a dose of 0.5 g once a day for a period of 5~7 days , and another thirty-two patients receiving conventional treatment served as control (control group). BASDAI, CRP and ESR served as the disease activity evaluation index. Results Activity indexes in two groups of in the first 4~ 20 weeks of the treatment were decreased compared with those before the treatment (P < 0.05), while a rise was found in the 20 ~ 24 week and activity indexes gradually returned to pretreatment levels. At 0 ~ 16 weeks , the disease activity index of treatment group was below normal levels but that of control group was higher than the normal level with significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Azithromycin can control the disease activity of AS in the long term, which would be a new proposal in AS treatment.

Objective To study the intestinal microflora changes in children with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP). Methods The feces of 64 children with HSP (the experimental group) and 25 healthy children (the control group) were collected. 16S rRNA/DNA fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to detect bacterial content of Lactobacillus, Biifdobacterium and Escherichia coli in feces. Results The amounts of Lactobacillus, and Biifdobacterium in the HSP group were lower than those of the healthy group, and the amounts of E.coli were higher, but the differences were not statistically signiifcant. The amounts of Lactobacillus and Biifdobacterium in the HSP children with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, vomiting, e.g.) were signiifcantly lower than those in HSP children without gastrointestinal symptoms and in the healthy group. The difference was signiifcant (P<0.05). Conclusions It suggests that intestinal microlfora in children with HSP in acute phase may exist disorders, especially in the HSP children with gastrointestinal symptoms.
