The professional quality of counselors directly affects the growth of medical students and the effect of school education management.At present,the counselors' professional quality is at an overall high level in medical universities and colleges in Xinjiang that can be competent for the job requirements.However,there still exist some problems.For example,the structure of cultural knowledge is unreasonable,the professional proficiency needs to be improved,the psychological quality needs to be strengthened,and so forth.Changing the knowledge and ideas,establishing a long-term mechanism,and the counselors themselves recognizing consciously and promoting initiative are the way to improve the counselors' professional qualities in medical universities and colleges in Xinjiang.

This study was aimed to investigate the influence of coital frequency and masturbation on erectile dysfunction (ED) in Chinese patients. A total of 332 male outpatients with or without ED and volunteers were recruited from Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, China. ED was assessed by using the five-item International Index of Erectile Function scale and the frequency of intercourse by patients' self-report. After adjusting for lifestyle factors and diseases-related factors, the analyses showed that coital and masturbation in a certain frequency tended to decrease the risk of ED. Men reporting intercourse once a week had lower risk of ED than those did less than once a week, with age, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, body mass index, smoking, and drinking as covariates (P=0.67, adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.37-1.88). For those reporting coital frequency two times per week and three or more times per week, there were 63% (adjusted OR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.18-0.77) and 85% (adjusted OR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.07-0.35) lower risk of ED than those reporting intercourse frequency less than once per week, respectively (P<0.05). Results indicated that maintaining a regular frequency of intercourse can reduce the risk of ED for males aged among 30 to 75 years.
