BACKGROUND: As indicated by clinical research, if cerebral infarction could be effectively treated at early stage, especially normal specific therapy provided within 6 hours or even earlier after attack, the prognosis would be significantly better than delayed therapy. However, it is still unclear that whether the changes of cellular apoptosis-inducing or -inhibiting indicators could be used as criteria in the judgment of prognosis.OBJECTIVE: To test the content of cell apoptotic factor and to investigate the prognosis in hospitalized patients with cerebral infarction who received treatment at different time for further verification of the therapeutic timing for the disease.DESIGN: A same term randomized controlled study based on patients.SETTING: Department of neurology of a general hospital of a military area command of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 144 male patients admitted in the Second Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Jinan Military Area Command of Chinese PLA between 2000 and 2002 were divided into four groups including 6 hours, 24 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours group according to different time of therapy provided.METHODS: Oral administration of 400 mg Lumbrokinase, 2 tablets of heparin sodium, 60 mg of nimodipine, and 100 mg of vitamin E, three times a day. 150 mL of normal saline(NS) containing 52.5 mg of Ginkgo biloba L extractive(Jin Na Duo) and 150 mL of NS containing 10 mL of Cerebroprotein Hydeolysate were used through intravenous drop once a day. Ten days were set as one therapeutic course and 2 courses were given. 200 g/L of mannite was given to dehydrate for patients with large area infarction(＞ 7 cm2) . Platelet membrane Fas, Apo2.7 and Bcl-2 percentage and prognostic assessment were tested in patients of four groups before and after therapy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peripheral platelet membrane Fas,Apo2.7 and Bcl-2 percentage in patients of different group and prognosis evaluation.RESULTS: Percentage of platelet membrane Fas, Apo2.7 and Bcl-2 of 6 hours group was significantly higher or lower after therapy than before therapy ( P ＜ 0.05 ), and moreover, the difference with other groups was significant( P ＜ 0.05), As revealed in the analysis of prognosis, the effectiveness of patients who received therapy within 6 hours was significantly better than that of 96 hours group and the mortality reduced significantly.CONCLUSION: Normal hospitalizing therapy provided within 6 hours after attack could surely improve the prognosis and reduce the disability rate, and the abnormity and extent in Fas, Apo2.7 and Bcl-2 are closely correlated with prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the assessment index system of internal medicine, and to analyze the factors of practical effects on internal medicine. Methods The assessment index system of clinical skills was developed by expert group based on the clinical syllabus and objectives. Internal medicine index system was divided into four items such as history-taking, physical examination, hos-pital records and case questions. 49 five-year clinical interns who took internal medicine exams were researched. Reliability, validity, discrimination, difficulty were used to analyze the quality of assess-ment index system. Gender, teaching hospital and the preparation of postgraduate examination were used to explore the influencing factors of practical effects with independent t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Results The reliability, discrimination, difficulty of the assessment index system were 0.50, 0.15 and 0.85, respectively. The removing item coefficient of history collection, physical ex-amination, hospital records, case questions were 0.38, 0.26, 0.47 and 0.53, separately, and the discrimination were 0.18, 0.17,0.27 and 0.37, separately, and the difficulty were 0.87, 0.89, 0.79, and 0.78, respectively. The scores of assessment index system of girls were higher than those of the boys(P<0.05). Moreover, the girls scored higher in history collection and physical examination, compared with the boys(P<0.05). The discrepancy scores were not statistically significant among teaching hospitals (P>0.05). The students who prepared the postgraduate examination scored lower than the others(P<0.05). Conclusions The assessment index system of internal medicine is reason-able and reliable, but the assessment of case questions still needs to be standardized. Teaching hospi-tals have little effect on internship while gender and the preparation for postgraduate examination influence practice effects in internal medicine.

Objective To investigate and analyze the postoperative progression of ossification of the patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) on cervical spine. Methods From Jaunary 2001 to December 2007, 95 postoperative patients with cervical OPLL were followed and analyzed retrospectively. There are 72 males, 23 females, with the average age of 56.3 years (range, 40-73years). The follow-up time was from 1 to 6 years, average 3.1 years. Among them 36 patients were performed with anterior cervical corpectomy, fusion with titanium mesh and fixed with cervical plates, others treated with posterior cervical laminectomy and fixation. 2 of the 95 cases were performed anterior and posterior combined operation. Clinical data, X-rays, CT and MR images and progression of ossification, were measured and analyzed in details .The relationships between the progression of ossification and relative factors, as gender, age, C3 ossified involved, T-OPLL, OPLL-type, time of follow-up, surgical approach, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores and improvement rate of JOA scores, were analyzed. Results Progression of ossification in 39 cases among the 95 followed postoperative OPLL patients, 28 men and 11 women, average age 55.9 years, range 41-71 years. The age of progressed patients included 12 cases of ≤49 years, 12of 50-59 years, 12 of 60-69 years and 3 of ≥70 years. 35 patients were operated by posterior approach and only 4 treated with anterior operation. According to the standard of the progression of ossification that 2 mm in the length or/and thickness, there are 4 cases progressed only in length, 2 only in thickness, other 33 patients both the length and thickness. Progression of length is from 2mm to 20mm (average 7.74±4.71). But thickness is progressed from 2 mm to 6 mm (average 2.67±1.51). From 1 to 3 years follow-up time it appeard as a downtrend about the progression of ossification. But it may appear an uptrend from the 4th year. JOA score and improvement rate of the JOA score were almost improved to the high-point in three years. And according to the statistic data there are obvious relationship between progression of ossification with age, surgical approach and C3 ossified involved. Conclusion There is a high rate of postoperative ossification progression in cervical OPLL patients. Cervical OPLL patients with C3 ossification involved, performed with posterior laminectomy and those young at surgery may have higher rate of progression of the ossification. The JOA score and improvement rate of the JOA score were little influenced by the progression of the OPLL during the short and intermediate-term follow-up.

Objective To observe the therapeutically effect of kangnao liquid on Pi3k mRNA and Aktm RNA ex-pressions in rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods 180 male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:sham operated group, model group, three kangnao liquid groups (high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose) and nimodipine group. Rats in kangnao liquid groups were administrated with kangnao liquid of 24 g/(kg · d), 12 g/(kg · d) and 6 g/(kg · d), orally once a day. Rats in nimodipine group were given nimodipine 1 mg/(kg · d). Rats in model group and sham group were treated with the same volume of distilled water for 7 days. The animal model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established by a monofilament method from right internal carotid artery. The neurological evaluation was per-formed 24 h after reperfusion. The in situ hybridization was used to investigate the expression levels of Pi3k mRNA and Akt mRNA in rats on 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 168 h after ischemia for 2 h. Results Compared with model group, neurological functions were improved significantly in kangnao liquid groups. The expression levels of Pi3k mRNA and Akt mRNA were al-so significantly higher in kangnao liquid groups than those of model group. The expression levels of Pi3k mRNA and Akt mRNA were significantly higher in nimodipine group than those of model group, but which were lower compared with those of high-dose and medium-dose kangnao liquid groups. Conclusion Kangnao liquid can protect nerve cells by enhancing the expressions of Pi3k mRNA and Akt mRNA in rats with cerebral ischemia-reprefusion injury.
