1.Discussion on the Training Mode of General Practice Education in Contemporary Medical Colleges and Universities
Chinese Medical Ethics 2017;30(7):914-917
At present,the training mode of general practice education in medical colleges and universities in China has the characteristics of common and personality.Although there is a great change in the form of “classroom instruction”,it is still one of the main modes of training of general medical education in medical colleges and universities.In addition,many colleges and universities explore the mentor type,team type,humanistic type,practice type and other general medical education training mode.A variety of training mode has accumulated a lot of valuable experience and achievements,but there are many problems.Currently,the overall quality of general practitioners in our country has yet to be improved and the training mode of general medical education needs further exploration and innovation.

China has entered the aging society , in urban communities and rural grassroots their are still many older people lack of health insurance , elderly patients with chronic diseases become the most difficult people to see a doctor, this needs to train more general practitioners to solve these problems .From a macroscopical view , general practitioners can bring substantial economic benefits and broad social benefits .From a microscopic view , they also can make effective use of family medical resources , bring convenient for old people going to a doctor and carry out an important role of health education .Improving the General Practitioner -Elderlyservice mode , the govern-ment needs to further improve the elderly medical service system and security system , vigorously promote grass -roots community health service institutions of medical conditions , develop specialized general medical personnel ac-cording to the needs of the elderly , implement contractual service relationships between general practitioners and the elderly.
3.Strengthening Medical Humanistic Education and Casting Physician Professionalism
Chinese Medical Ethics 2017;30(11):1407-1410
Starting from the intercommunion of the connotation of medical humanities and medical professionalism,this paper analyzed the current situation of medical humanities in medical practice,explained the significance of strengthening medical humanistic education to shaping physician professionalism,and further put forward that we should cast physician professionalism in aspect of professional idea,core values,institutional supervision and humanistic belief.

Objective:
This study aims to investigate the anatomical relationship among the nerve roots, intervertebral space, pedicles, and intradural rootlets of the cervical spine for improving operative outcomes and exploring neuroventral decompression approach in posterior endoscopic cervical discectomy (PECD).
Methods:
Cervical computed tomography myelography imaging data from January 2021 to May 2023 were collected, and the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer Software was employed to conduct multiplane reconstruction. The following parameters were recorded: width of nerve root (WN), nerve root-superior pedicle distance (NSPD), nerve root-inferior pedicle distance (NIPD), and the relationship between the intervertebral space and the nerve root (shoulder, anterior, and axillary). Additionally, the descending angles between the spinal cord and the ventral (VRA) and dorsal (DRA) rootlets were measured.
Results:
The WN showed a gradual increase from C4 to C7, with measurements notably larger in men compared to women. The NSPD decreased gradually from the C2–3 to the C5–6 levels. However, the NIPD showed an opposite level-related change, notably larger than the NSPD at the C4–5, C5–6, and C7–T1 levels. Furthermore, significant differences in NIPD were observed between different age groups and genders. The incidence of the anterior type exhibited a gradual decrease from the C2–3 to the C5–6 levels. Conversely, the axillary type exhibited an opposite level-related change. Additionally, the VRA and DRA decreased as the level descended, with measurements significantly larger in females.
Conclusion
A prediction of the positional relationship between the intervertebral space and the nerve root is essential for the direct neuroventral decompression in PECD to avoid damaging the neural structures. The axillary route of the nerve root offers a safer and more effective pathway for performing direct neuroventral decompression compared to the shoulder approach.
