With the rapid growth of foreign student education in China,specific development goals have been put forward. Although size of bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery students(referred to as MBBS students) is ranked the first place among foreign students with other majors in China,it faces difficulties,including decline in the quality of students,chaotic curricula,weak faculty team and a lack of managerial personnel. Seven colleges and universities in Jiangsu province which enroll MBBS students must strengthen cooperation and collaborative development,to increase contribution to the overall size and quality of foreign students education in the province and to jointly build the MBBS student education brand of‘study in Jiangsu’.

Objective To investigate the correlation between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and long-term outcomes in a large cohort of unselected patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods Consecutive acute cerebral infarction patients hospitalized in Department of Neurology,General Hospital of Jinan Military Region were prospectively recruited from August 2010 to November 2013.The baseline data including age,sex,the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores,type of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP:total anterior circulation infarct,partial anterior circulation infart,posterior circulation infarct and lacunar infarct),serum creatinine were recorded.Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated according to CKD epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.CKD was defined as eGFR ＜ 60 ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2 body surface area.Patients were divided into eGFR≥60 ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2 group and eGFR ＜ 60 ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2 group.Recovery was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 180 days after stroke by telephone interview (mRS≤2 reflected good prognosis,and mRS ＞ 2 reflected unfavorable prognosis).Multinominal Logistic regression analysis,Kaplan-Meier curve and log rank test were used.Results Eight hundred and fifty-two patients were enrolled,among them 93 patients were with CKD.Compared to patients without CKD,acute ischemic patients with CKD were older ((70.56 ± 11.86) years vs (63.11 ± 12.15) years,t =5.60,P =0.000),more likely with NIHSS ≥7 (59.14％ (55/93) vs 32.54％ (247/759),x2 =25.61,P =0.000),more likely with hypertension (89.25％ (83/93) vs 77.34％ (587/759),x2 =6.99,P =0.007),more likely with atrial fibrillation (29.03 ％ (27/93) vs 9.5 ％ (72/759),x2 =30.82,P =0.000),more likely with congestive heart failure (13.98％ (13/93) vs 3.03％ (23/759),x2 =24.54,P =0.000),more likely with tumour (6.50％ (6/93) vs 2.24％ (17/759),x2 =5.59,P =0.031).CKD was a independent prognostic factor for long-term poor outcome (OR =2.034,95％ CI 1.194-3.468) and long term mortality (OR =2.657,95％ CI 1.450-4.870).Kaplan-Meier estimate of patients without CKD for cumulative 180 days survival function for all-cause mortality was higher than those with CKD (79.57％ (74/93) vs 93.54％ (710/759),Log rank test:x2 =23.602,P =0.000).Conclusions Acute ischemic stroke patients with CKD are with more comorbidities.CKD is a independent prognostic factor for long-term poor outcomes and long term mortality in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the correlation between prestroke comorbidity and long-term outcomes in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods Consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients who were hospitalized were prospectively recruited from August 2010 to November 2012.Six hundred and forty-four patients were enrolled,the baseline data including Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI),National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score,type of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP:total anterior circulation infarct,partial anterior circulation infarct,posterior circulation infarct and lacunar infarct) were recorded.And recovery was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 90 days after stroke by telephone interview (mRS score ≤ 2 reflected good prognosis,and mRS score ＞ 2 reflected unfavorable prognosis).Because CCI included specific comorbidity,we considered CCI,CCI without specific comorbidity and specific comorbidity as variable respectively.After screening the risk factors affecting prognosis using univariate analysis,the relationship between comorbidity and prognosis was estimated using multinomial logistic regression model.Results CCI was an independent predictor of good prognosis and unfavorable prognosis (OR =3.446,95％ CI 1.662-7.417; P =0.001).Congestive heart failure and diabetes were each independent predictor of good prognosis and unfavorable prognosis also (diabetes:OR =2.584,95％ CI 1.709-3.906,P =0.000; congestive heart failure:OR =6.229,95％ CI 1.705-22.755,P =0.006).Conclusions After acute ischemic stroke,the patients with the higher CCI score,diabetes and congestive heart failure are more likely to achieve unfavorable outcome.CCI,diabetes and congestive heart failure can each be used as a sensitive index to evaluate the 90 d prognosis of patients.Trial registration Clinical Research Center of China (CHiCTR-OCH-14004228)

Objective To analyze the risk factors of post-stroke disability in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods Total 1 137 consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted in Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Jinan Military Region, were prospectively recruited from August 2010 to August 2014.According to Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project(OCSP), 275 patients were classified as total anterior circulation infarction, 377 as partial anterior circulation infarction,305 as posterior circulation infarction and 180 as lacunar infarction.The baseline data including age, gender, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS) score were recorded.Recovery was assessed by modified Rankin Scale ( mRS) 6 months after stroke by telephone interview ( mRS≤2:good prognosis, 2

Objective To investigate the effect of saw palmetto extract (SR) on GL261 glioma in rats and immune system.Methods The 40 rats were divided into 4 groups randomly,one was the control group without tumor (n =10),the other 30 rats were given subcutaneous inoculation of tumor cells and then divided into 3 groups:tumor-bearing group (n =10),low dose SR group (n =10),and high dose SR group (n =10).After 1 weeks feeded,the rats of SR groups were given the saw palmetto extract,low dose group 50 mg/kg once a day every other day and 300 mg/kg of high dose group every other day.The tumor-bearing groups received the same dose of distilled water.After 4 weeks feeding,we measured the tumor weight and the inhibition rate was calculated.The tumor cell apoptosis was detected by TdT mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining.The splenic T lymphocyte proliferation was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTF).Results (1) The SR groups compared to tumor group,the tumor weight was significantly reduced (F =62.678,P =0.000).The tumor inhibition rate was significantly higher in high dose group.(2) The apoptosis of tumor cells in tumor-bearing group was significantly less than SR groups and the apoptosis was significantly increased after treatment with SR,especially in high dose SR group (F =1.287E3,P =0.000).(3) Compared to SR groups and control group,T lymphocyte proliferation of tumor-bearing group reduced obviously.After treated with SR,T lymphocyte proliferation significantly increased and was higher in high-dose group (F =103.565,P =0.000).Conclusions Saw palmetto extract can activate T lymphocytes and induce apoptosis to tumor cells.Its function was related to SR concentration.

Objective To investigate the correlation between anemia and outcome in a large cohort of unselected patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods Consecutive acute cerebral infarction patients who were hospitalized were prospectively recruited from August 2010 to November 2013.Eight hundred and fifty-eight patients were enrolled,and the baseline data including age,sex,National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) scores,type of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project(OCSP:total anterior circulation infarct,partial anterior circulation infarct,posterior circulation infarct and lacunar infarct),serum creatinine,initial hemoglobin level,initial hematocrit level,etc,were recorded.Hemoglobin level and hematocrit level during hospitalization were also recorded.Domestic criteria were used to define if the patient had anemia on admission.Recovery was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 180 days after stroke by telephone interview (mRS scores ≤ 2 reflected good prognosis,and mRS scores ＞ 2 reflected unfavorable prognosis).The influence on outcome by anemia on admission,initial hemoglobin level,nadir hemoglobin level,nadir hematocrit level was analyzed by multinomial Logistic regression analysis.Results Odds ratio of initial hemoglobin level for poor outcome was 1.013 (95％ CI 1.001-1.024,P =0.027) with each decrease in hemoglobin of 1 g/dl.Initial anemia(OR =2.417,95％ CI 1.202-4.859,P =0.013) was a independent prognostic factor for mortality;odds ratio of nadir hemoglobin level for mortality was 1.016(95％ CI 1.002-1.030,P =0.026) with each decrease in hemoglobin of 1 g/dl;odds ratio of nadir hematocrit level for mortality was 1.047(95％ CI 1.003-1.093,P =0.037) with decrease in hematocrit of one percentage point.Conclusions Initial hemoglobin level was a independent prognostic factor for poor outcome in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Anemia on admission,nadir hemoglobin level,nadir hematocrit level were independent prognostic factors for mortality in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
