Clinical teaching effect is directly affected by internship tutors’quality which is not very good at present. For this reason,a questionnaire on teachers and students was made and several solutions were put forward by analysis on the survey results.

BACKGROUND: Functional injury of brain and limb induced by hemorrhage of cerebral arteriovenous malformation could be restored by rehabilitative treatment OBJECTIVE: To investigate the curative effect of rehabilitation on restoration of the functional injury of the brain and limbs induced by bleeding of hemorrhage cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) after embolization.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Interventional Medicine of General Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: From January 1996 to December 2001, a total 56 patients who were diagaosed as cerebral hemorrhage or intraventricle hemorrhage by CT or MRI scanning was selected from General Hospital of Chinese PLA.METHODS: All 56 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation were diagnosed by DSA. Rehabilitative treatment was performed with α-butyl cyanoac-rylate or radian surgery. Rehabilitative therapy were as follow: [1] Electric stimulate: S J-Ⅱ type nerve-muscle therapy instrument was used to stimulate the muscles (flexor and extensor) of limbs in the involved side, intensity of which is from weak to strong and frequency of which was from 2 to 3 or 4 per day; [2] Acupuncture: The selected points are:Fengchi, Fengfu, Yintang, Shangxing, Baihui, Quchi, Waiguan, Hegu,Huantiao, Zusanli, Yanglingquan, Sanyinjiao, Taichong, et al. In those who suffered aphasia, lianquan, Jinjin, Yuye were selected. Once a day and a period of treatment was 2 weeks; [3] physical training: the passive movement on the joint in the involved limbs were performed in grade 0 to 1 of muscle strength, the balance training of sitting on bed or standing beside the bed in grade 1 to 2, walking training in grade 2 to 3. The training intensity should be from weak to strong gradually. The items of observation were the improvement in speaking, sense and activity in limbs in the involved side. Evaluation of myodynamia was referenced to 6 grading method of Lovett.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: [1] the degree of embolism; [2] the degree of speaking fluency, the sense of limbs and the strength of the muscles of the limbs.RESULTS: Totally 56 cases entered the final analysis without any loss. [1]Degree of embolism: Among 56 cases, 100% focus was eliminated for 77% in 43 cases, 90% was eliminated for 12% in 7 cases and 60%-80% was eliminated for 11% in 6 cases. [2] Fluency of language: Before the treatment of rehabilitation, they suffered different degree impediment of speaking in 14 cases, improvement in 14 cases and obvious improvement in 11 cases. [3] Sense of limb:The sense of limbs was improved in 23 cases and 18 of them improved obviously. [4] Strength of muscles: The strength of muscles in 0 to 1 grade in 3 cases, 1 to 2 grade in 11 cases, 2 to 3 grade in 15 cases. But after the treatment of rehabilitation, speaking ability was improved in 14 cases, and 11 of them improved obviously. The strength of muscles was. resumed to 2 or 3 grade from 0or 1 grade in 2 cases, and to 4 grade in 21 cases and 5 grade in 6 cases.CONCLUSION: Endovascular embolization is a minimal traumatic, the rehabilitative therapy which is secure and effective method for treatment of high risk cerebral AVM, can promote motion function, language function and ability of activity of daily living, and quality of life of patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation after embolism.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of gallbladder wall thickening diseases.Methods 42 patients with gallbladder wall thickening (16 patients with carcinoma and 26 patients with benign lesion) were included in this study.All patients performed conventional MRI and DWI.The diagnostic performances of three methods (conventional MRI,visual assessment of color fusion image from DWI and T2WI,and ADC measurement) were evaluated by two radiologists.Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.570,0.849,0.901 for conventional MRI,visual assessment and ADC measurement respectively.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity were 59.5%,62.5%,57.7% for conventional MRI,85.7%,81.2%,88.5% for visual assessment of color fusion image,and 83.3%,80.0%,85.2% for ADC measurement,respectivily.The mean ADC value of gallbladder cacinoma[(1.15±0.35)×10-3mm2/s]was significantly less than that of gallbladder benign lesion [(1.99±0.61)×10-3mm2/s](P<0.01).Conclusion The DWI(visual assessment of color fusion image and ADC measurement)might be a useful tool for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the gallbladder wall thickening diseases.

Objective To evaluate left atrial systolic function and synchronization by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2D-STI) measuring the strain in healthy subjects.Methods Thirty-two healthy subjects were studied.The peak velocity(Vmax),the peak amplitude of longitudinal and radial strain (Am-LS and Am-RS),the peak time of both longitudinal and radial strain(T-LS and T-RS) were acquired in each left atrial wall(anterior,inferior,posterior,lateral and septal) at three levels (basal,middle and apical)during left atrial active contraction by 2D-STI.Results ① No significant differences were found at theVmax,Am-LS,Am-RS,T-LS and T-RS among all left atrial walls in the same level ( P ＞ 0.05).②The Vmax,Am-LS and Am-RS were decreased progressively from basal to apical,and there were significant differences( P ＜0.05) except the Am-RS at anterior,posterior and septal( P =0.218,0.258 and 0.238,separately).③Compared all levels in each left atrial wall,the T-LS and T-RS showed no significant differences( P ＞0.05),except the T-LS at posterior( P =0.002) and the T-RS at lateral( P =0.026).④The standard deviation of the T-LS,T-RS and T-globe were 37.38 ms,48.25 ms and 43.85 ms,respectively.There were no significant correlation between T-LS and T-RS in the same segment with r =0.014 and P =0.885.Conclusions There were some regularity during left atrial active contraction.On the whole,the peak velocity and the peak amplitude were decreased progressively from basal to apical in each atrial wall,and the peak time of strain showed no significant difference in the same level of each left atrial wall.The 2D-STI may paly important roles in the evaluation of left atrial systolic function and synchronization.

Objective To discuss a new procedure to treat Pilon fractures with combined by the using of external fixation and arthroscopy. Methods The external fixation was used to keep the broken bone in line, and the facet of the ankle joint was made smooth under the arthroscope. Several lag screws were put to fix the fracture. 31 cases, 21 male and 10 female, were treated from Nov. 2002 to Mar. 2004 with this technique. There were 22 cases of type B, and 9 type C1,C2 according to AO classification. Results The follow ups ranged from 4 to 12 months, averaging 7.3 months. No nonunion or infection was found. The average bone healing time was 3.7 months. Conclusion The combined use of arthroscopy and external fixation to treat Pilon fracture is an efficient procedure, for it can provide stable fixation, cause limited incision or trauma, and allow early recovery exercises of the ankle joint.
