Objective To understand the support effect of the resources and services provided by the library on the scientific research of medical postgraduates. Methods Taking 150 graduate stu-dents in Chongqing Medical University as the research object, through questionnaire survey and inter-view method, the characteristics of medical graduate students' selection of document resources, as well as their application of the resources and services provided by the library were investigated. Results 65% (98/150) of students chose Chinese literature as the preferred source of information, 6% (9/150) of graduate students did not borrow books at the library, 54% (81/150) of graduate students chose library website as the data retrieval entrance at the time of obtaining the preferred document, 9% (14/150) of students did not participate in the library reader training. Conclusion Library resources are still the first choice for the graduate students to obtain the literature, and the library should be improved in the aspects of resource allocation, service mode, in order to meet the needs of graduate students' scientific research.

Objective: To establish a method for determining the content of dracorhodin as an indicator in the quality control with methodological studies to provide basis for the preparation process study of Qilisan gel. Methods: An HPLC method was used with a DiamonsilR C18 (250 mm ×4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column, the detection wavelength was set at 440 nm and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Acetonitrile-0. 05 mol·L-1 sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution (45 ∶ 55) was used as the mobile phase, and the flow rate was l. 0 ml·min-1 . Results: The content of dracorhodin was in a good linear relationship (r =0. 999 6) within the range of 1. 632-64. 250 μg·ml-1 , and the average recovery was 99. 02%(RSD =0. 77%, n =6). The number of theoretical plates was calculated as 7 100 according to the dracorhodin perchlorate peak without any interference from the negative sample. Conclusion: The method is objective, accurate and sensitive with high reliability, easy operation and fast process. The measurement results can be used as the quality control basis for the preparation process study of Qilisan gel.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of seroma after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair.Methods:The clinical data of 236 patients underwent laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair from July 2018 to June 2021 in Jiaozhou Central Hospital of Qingdao City were retrospectively analyzed. The related risk factors of seroma after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair were analyzed.Results:Among 236 patients, the seroma occurred in 36 cases (seroma group), the incidence of seroma was 15.25%; no seroma occurred in 200 cases (non-seroma group). There were statistical differences in the duration of disease ≥5 years, scrotal hernia, internal inguinal ring defect ≥3 cm, rupture of hernia sac, experience of operators <5 years between 2 groups ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical difference in age, body mass, type of patch, preoperative complications (including diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiac cerebrovascular disease) and operative time between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the duration of disease ≥5 years, scrotal hernia, rupture of hernia sac and experience of operators<5 years were independent influencing factors of seroma after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair ( OR = 5.147, 5.006, 0.044 and 3.315; 95% CI 1.513 to 17.516, 1.845 to 13.583, 0.008 to 0.240 and 1.029 to 10.679; P<0.01 or<0.05). Conclusions:The duration of disease ≥5 years, scrotal hernia, rupture of hernia sac and experience of operators<5 years are independent influencing factors of seroma after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair, and preoperative assessment of risk factors is helpful to reduce the incidence of seroma.

Objective To investigate the impact flat deformity of the cerebral cortex induced by congenital hydrocephalus on motor functioning and cognition.Methods Tomography was used to confirm the presence of flat cortex deformity in three congenital hydrocephalus patients ranging in age from 20 to 33.Their motor control,balance,cognition and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),the Berg balance scale (BBS),the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and the modified Barthel index (MBI).Speech dysfunction was judged on the basis of clinical communication.The patients were scanned using a 64-slice spiral CT and size-of-ventricle indices were calculated.Results All 3 patients underwent ventrideperitoneal shunt.Their FMA scores were 75.5,83 and 100,with BBS scores of 4,24 and 56,MMSE scores of 14,23 and 26,and the MBIs of 40,90 and 100.CT images showed obvious ventricle enlargement and a thinner cortex layer in all three,with the thinnest part 0.18 cm,0.22 cm and 0.57 cm.Their ventricle indexes were 303%,288% and 192%,respectively.Conclusion Although there is no systematic rehabilitation therapy for such patients,their motor,cognition and speech functioning were good,indicating the great potential for plasticity of the human brain.

Santalene and santalol are the main components of valuable perfume sandalwood essential oil, and have good antibacterial, anti-oxidation and anti-tumor activities. Commercial sandalwood essential oil is mainly extracted from sandalwood tree that grows slowly and is difficult to cultivate. In addition, the extraction recovery of sandalwood essential oil from sandalwood tree is too low to meet the market demand. These factors make sandalwood essential oil expensive. An option is to use genetic engineering and molecular biological methods to heterologously express related synthase of santalene and santalol in microbial host. In this paper, the biosynthesis progress of santalene and santalol synthase, as well as the optimization of mevalonate metabolic pathways in the hosts are summarized. Furthermore, the strategies of applying protein engineering technology to carry out orthomutation of santalene synthase were also discussed, to provide reference for the optimal biosynthesis of santalene and santalol.
