To explore the teaching model on bilingual teaching in the undergraduate course of basic medical science of medical universities,we carried out the different models of bilingual teaching in the courses of physical chemistry,pathology and physiology.Moreover,the investigation and assessment of bilingual teaching were made.The results showed that bilingual teaching of basic medical science should be carried out step by step and with programming and different modes.

Objective Evaluation of cerebral blood flow in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) using cerebral CT perfusion imaging.Methods CT perfusion scan was performed on a consecutive series of 20 patients with clinical definite TIA.Following their initial CT scan at acute stage of TIA, patients underwent two repeat CT perfusion scanning of region of interest at acute stage and one month after symptom remission.Results Mild to moderate decrease in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and unchanged or mildly decrease in regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) were observed at acute stage in the majority cases.Normal cerebral perfusion was found in 12 cases and mild to moderate decrease of rCBF in 8 cases one month after TIA.During the one-year follow-up period, all of 12 cases with normal cerebral perfusion did not have recurrence while among 8 cases with mild to moderate decrease of rCBF at initial scan, 6 cases had recurrent TIA or cerebral infarction and 2 cases did not have recurrence.Patients with more severe cerebral perfusion defects usually had a shorter interval time between two attacks.Conclusions Intensive intervention should be performed on patients with severe and long lasting decrease of cerebral perfusion.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between asymmetrically prominent cortical veins (APCV) on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:From October 2016 to September 2018, patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Donghua Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled retrospectively. They completed MRI within 3 d of onset. APCV was evaluated using SWI. END was defined as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NHISS) score at any time point within 7 d after the onset increased by ≥2 or the motor function item score increased by ≥1 from baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between APCV and END. Results:A total of 133 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 40 females and 93 males, with a median age of 57.3 years (interquartile range: 47.5-67.5 years). Baseline NIHSS score was 5.9±5.0. Fifty-one (38.3%) patients had APCV, and 38 (28.6%) had END. The proportions of APCV, ipsilateral large vessel stenosis, and patients receiving anticoagulation after admission were significantly different between the END group and the non-END group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age and gender, APCV was an independent risk factor for END in patients with acute ischemic stroke (odds ratio 6.907, 95% confidence interval 2.798-17.052; P<0.001). Conclusions:APCV on SWI was an independent risk factor for END in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
