Objective:To investigate the relationship between insight and self of schizophrenia patients by paradigm of self-reference effect(SRE).Methods:16 schizophrenia patients with insight, 16 schizophrenia patients without insight and 16 normal controls matched with age and education degree were measured by SRE, and the results were analyzed.Results:SRE was shown in normal controls, and R performance on Self task was better than on other two tasks(P0.05).This means that SRE was not demonstrated in schizophrenia patients.There were significant differences between patients without insight and normal controls in R performance(P0.05).Conclusion:The profile of the results indicates that self-disturbance is shown in schizophrenia.There is no obviously correlation between insight and self-reference effect in schizophrenia patients.

To improve the quality of clinical teaching in burn surgery,79 students of Grade 2005 were randomly divided to problem-based learning(PBL)group and lecture-based learning(LBL) group.The teaching quality of two teaching methods were compared.The results showed that the average score,the score of teaching effectiveness appraisal targets in PBL group were sig-nificant higher than that in LBL group.This indicated that the teaching effectiveness of PBL was better than that of LBL,PBL should be applied in clinical teaching in burn surgery.

The holding of the national college students' clinical skills competition reflects the importance of medical education for clinical practice training . Although through intensive itemized skills drills, the competitors can complete each individual operation with satisfaction, due to the lack of clinical experience, in the integrated circuit training, they will easily stray into question stemtrap. The concrete analysis of the national college students' clinical skills contest competition reflects the medical students' insufficient recognition of clinical skills, lack of the overall concept of the intensive medical treatment, not flexible and insufficient mastery of the connotation of the clinical skills, which seriously restricts the improvement of clinical education. Therefore this article raises special sugges-tions, referring to training focusing on “Airway and Circulation”, developing the critical care thinking based on the relationship of multi-organ and improving the first-aid capability of the team work, so as to provide reference for the improvement of training effect.

To study the effects of rCBF and brain function in the patients with cerebral infarction byearly rehabilitation training. 89 cases were randomized into rehabilitation and control groups and were ex-amined rCBF by 133Xe inhalation method and BEAM. Total effect rate was 93.9%in rehabilitationgroup,to the control 77.5%(X2=3. 95,P<0.05). The rCBF rised up in two groups,but it was higher inthe foriner,to the contro1,t=4. 99,P<0. 01. BEAM improve rate was 95.9%,to the control,77.5%(X2=5. 30,P<0. 05). So we confirmed that early rehabilitation training may promote rCBF and improve brainfunction of patients with cerebral infarction.

OBJECTIVETo appraise the significance of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) in the differential diagnosis of the type of burn-induced pulmonary edema.

METHODSThe clinical data of 38 patients, with severe burn hospitalized in our burn ICU from December 2011 to September 2014 suffering from the complication of pulmonary edema within one week post burn and treated with mechanical ventilation accompanied by pulse contour cardiac output monitoring, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into lung injury group ( L, n = 17) and hydrostatic group (H, n = 21) according to the diagnosis of pulmonary edema. EVLWI, PVPI, ITBVI, oxygenation index, and lung injury score ( LIS) were compared between two groups, and the correlations among the former four indexes and the correlations between each of the former three indexes and types of pulmonary edema were analyzed. Data were processed with t test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson correlation test, and accuracy test [receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve].

RESULTSThere was no statistically significant difference in EVLWI between group L and group H, respectively (12.9 ± 3.1) and (12.1 ± 2.1) mL/kg, U = 159.5, P > 0.05. The PVPI and LIS of patients in group L were respectively 2.6 ± 0.5 and (2.1 ± 0.6) points, and they were significantly higher than those in group H [1.4 ± 0.3 and (1.0 ± 0.6) points, with U values respectively 4.5 and 36.5, P values below 0.01]. The ITBVI and oxygenation index of patients in group L were respectively (911 197) mL/m2 and (136 ± 69) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), which were significantly lower than those in group H [(1,305 ± 168) mL/m2 and (212 ± 60) mmHg, with U values respectively 21.5 and 70.5, P values below 0.01]. In group L, there was obviously positive correlation between EVLWI and PVPI, or EVLWI and ITBVI (with r values respectively 0.553 and 0.807, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and there was obviously negative correlation between oxygenation index and EVLWI, or oxygenation index and PVPI (with r values respectively -0.674 and -0.817, P values below 0.01). In group H, there was obviously positive correlation between EVLWI and ITBVI (r = 0.751, P < 0.01) but no obvious correlation between EVLWI and PVPI, oxygenation index and EVLWI, or oxygenation index and PVPI (with r values respectively -0.275, 0.197, and 0:062, P values above 0.05). The total area under ROC curve of PVPI value for differentiating the type of pulmonary edema was 0.987 [with 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.962-1.013, P < 0.01], and 1.9 was the cutoff value with sensitivity of 94.1% and specificity of 95.2% . The total area under ROC curve of ITBVI value for differentiating the type of pulmonary edema was 0.940 (with 95% CI 0.860-1.020, P < 0.01), and 1,077. 5 mL/m2 was the cutoff value with sensitivity of 95.2% and specificity of 88.2%.

CONCLUSIONSEVLWI, PVPI, and ITBVI have an important significance in the differential diagnosis of the type of burn-induced pulmonary edema, and they may be helpful in the early diagnosis and management of burn-induced pulmonary edema.

OBJECTIVETo observe the role of Kupffer cells in the postburn production of TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 in severely scalded rats.

METHODS(1) The production of TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 from rat Kupffer cells stimulated by burn serum was observed. (2) The postburn change in the expression of cytokine mRNA from rat Kupffer cells was monitored. (3) The change in the plasma cytokine contents in scalded rats was determined after the application of gadolinium chloride, a specific inhibitor of Kupffer cells.

RESULTSKupffer cells could be stimulated by burn serum to release cytokines TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6. The mRNA expression of TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 from rat Kupffer cells increased significantly after injury. But the postburn plasma levels of TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 decreased obviously to 34.71%, 36.99% and 33.7% of those in scalding group, respectively, after the Kupffer cell activity was inhibited.

CONCLUSIONThe plasma cytokines, i.e. TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6, were primarily produced from Kupffer cells after injury in scalded rats, initiated by TNFalpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 mRNA transcription.

Artificial intelligence has been able to automatically learn and judge large-scale data to some extent. Based on database of a large amount of burn data and in-depth learning, artificial intelligence can assist burn surgeons to evaluate burn surface, diagnose burn depth, guide fluid supply during shock stage, and predict prognosis, with high accuracy. With the development of technology, artificial intelligence can provide more accurate information for burn surgeons to make clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.
