		                        			This study established a school-supervisor-postgraduate "three-dimensional interaction" mode of academic norms and ethics education for medical postgraduates based on their training characteristics. The mode was evaluated and improved in practice. The results showed that after the implementation of the mode, graduate students significantly improved their awareness of how to standardize the implementation of experiments [(79.86% vs. 89.47%); P=0.021] and how to write formal experimental records [(84.72% vs. 92.76%); P=0.028]. In addition, there were significant increases in the pass rate of pre defense (85.42% vs. 94.08%; P=0.014) and blind review (84.03% vs. 93.42%; P=0.010). The "three-dimensional interaction" mode truly helps to achieve a win-win-win situation between postgraduate supervisors and the school, and is worth further practice and promotion.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the correlation and predictive value of fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) and clinical outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke received intravenous thrombolysis treatment at Fuyang People's Hospital from November 2019 to August 2022 were retrospectively included. Their clinical, imaging, and laboratory data were collected. After 3 months of onset, a modified Rankin Scale was used for clinical outcome evaluation and a score >2 were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between FAR and poor outcome. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of FAR on adverse outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Results:A total of 162 patients were included. There were 114 patients (70.4%) in the good outcome group and 48 (29.6%) in the poor outcome group. Univariate analysis showed that the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, fasting blood glucose, fibrinogen, and FAR in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group, while the serum albumin was significantly lower than that of the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio [ OR] 1.176, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.082-1.227; P<0.001), fasting blood glucose ( OR 1.206, 95% CI 1.018-1.430; P=0.030), and FAR ( OR 1.448, 95% CI 1.449-1.824; P=0.002) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of FAR for predicting poor outcomes was 0.706 (95% CI 0.616-0.796). When the FAR cutoff value was 8.06, the sensitivity and specificity were 66.7% and 78.2%, respectively. Conclusion:There is a significant correlation between FAR and outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Higher FAR has certain predictive value for poor outcomes of patients.

		                        			Imported medicinal materials are an important part of Chinese medicinal resources. To be specific, about 10% of the around 600 commonly used Chinese medicinal materials are from abroad, and the introduction of foreign medicinal materials has promoted the development of Chinese medicine. Amid the advancement of reform and opening up and the "Belt and Road" Initiative, major headway has been made in the cross-border trade in China, bringing opportunities for the import of medicinal materials from border ports. However, for a long time, there is a lack of systematic investigation on the types of exotic medicinal materials at border ports. In the fourth national census of traditional Chinese medicine resources, National Resource Center for Chinese Materia Medica, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, together with several organizations, investigated the nearly 40 border ports, Chinese medicinal material markets, and border trade markets in 6 provinces/autonomous regions in China for the first time and recorded the types, sources, circulation, and the transaction characteristics of imported medicinal materials. Moreover, they invited experts to identify the origins of the collected 237 medicinal materials. In addition, the status quo and the problems of the medicinal materials were summarized. This study is expected to lay a basis for clarifying the market and origins of imported medicinal materials as well as the scientific research on and supervision of them.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the correlation between eosinophil count and short-term outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke treated in Fuyang People's Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled retrospectively. The demographic and baseline clinical data were collected. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the short-term clinical outcome at the time of discharge or 14 d after onset. 0-2 was defined as good outcome, and >2 was defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of poor short-term outcome. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of eosinophil count for poor short-term outcome. Results:A total of 300 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 187 males (62.3%) and 113 females (37.7%); their age was 63.62±12.14 years; baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 5.48±4.85. Two hundred and twenty-eight patients (76.0%) had a good outcome and 72 (24.0%) had a poor outcome. Univariate analysis showed that age, hypertension, baseline NIHSS score, C-reactive protein, atrial fibrillation, and neutrophil count of the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those of the good outcome group, while male, smoking, eosinophil count and percentage of eosinophils were significantly lower than those of the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio [ OR] 1.726, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.400-2.128; P<0.001), hypertension ( OR 3.744, 95% CI 1.227-11.426; P=0.020) and eosinophil count ( OR 0.287, 95% CI 0.102-0.616; P=0.043) were the independent influencing factors for the poor short-term outcome. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of eosinophil count for predicting the poor short-term outcome was 0.717 (95% CI 0.642-0.792), the best cutoff value was 0.075×10 9/L, and its sensitivity and specificity for predicting the poor short-term outcome were 88.6% and 51.4% respectively. Conclusion:The decreased eosinophil count had a certain predictive value for the poor short-term clinical outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke.

		                        			Objective To investigate the correlation between serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level and early functional outcomes in young patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods From January 2017 to December 2018, consecutive young patients (18-45 years old) with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Fuyang People's Hospital were enrolled. According to the modified Rankin Scale score at discharge or on the 14th day of hospitalization (whichever occurs first), the patients were divided into poor outcome group ( > 2) and good outcome group (0-2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between the serum ALP level and outcomes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of baseline serum ALP level for poor outcomes. Results A total of 200 young patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, and 138 (69. 0%) in the good outcome group and 62 (31. 0%) in the poor outcome group. Univariate analysis showed that the serum ALP level (87. 72 ±25. 60 U/L vs. 81. 70 ±22. 95 U/L; t = -4. 464, P < 0. 001) and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (median and interquartile range: 9 [8- 12] vs. 2 [1-4]; Z = -10. 540, P < 0. 001) in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high serum ALP levels (odds ratio 1. 030, 95% confidence interval 1. 001-1. 060; P = 0. 040) and high baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio 2. 387, 95% confidence interval 1. 799-3. 142; P < 0. 001) were the independent risk factors for early poor outcomes. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of the baseline serum ALP level predicting poor outcome was 86. 25 U/L, and its sensitivity and specificity were 53. 2% and 79. 7%, respectively. Conclusions High serum ALP level is independently associated with poor early outcomes in young patients with acute ischemic stroke. Baseline serum ALP level has certain predictive value for poor outcomes.

		                        			Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of tranexamic acid in prehospital emergency care of patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods A randomized,placebo controlled trial was carried out on 77 craniocerebral trauma patients [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤12 points]enrolled between May 2015 and December 2016.There were 45 males and 32 females,with an average age of 36.5 years (range,19-73 years).Among the patients,37 cases were caused by traffic accidents,19 falling from high places,11 falling when walking,and ten by being hit.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group (39 cases) and treatment group (38 cases).The treatment group received 1 g of tranexamic acid by intravenous injection within ten minutes on the scene and another 1 g of tranexamic acid within eight hours at the hospital.The control group received 0.9% isotonic saline.The operation and medication followed the routine process.The arrival time of ambulance and the time of first medication use were recorded.The plasma fibrin degradation products (FDP) and D-dimer at admission and 1 d post-trauma,the percentage of cranitomy operation,case fatality rate,red blood cell transfusion,length of stay in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU),and the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at day 28 were all recorded and analyzed.Results No significant differences were found between the two groups in gender,age,injury causes,GCS,arrival time of ambulance,and the time of first medication use (P > 0.05).The FDP and D-dimer at admission of the two groups were similar (P > 0.05).One day after admission,the expression of plasma FDP was significantly lower in treatment group than that in control group [6758 (4732,13661) μg/L vs.11740 (8516,21756) μg/L] (P < 0.01).The expression of D-dimer was significantly lower in treatment group than that in control group [1074 (849,1414) μg/L vs.1722 (1389,2330) μg/L] (P < 0.01).Between group differences were insignificant in the percentage of craniotomy operation,case fatality rate,and red blood cell transfusion (P > 0.05).However,treatment group showed shorter stay in NICU [4 (1,12)days vs.2 (0,4)days] and higher GOS [4 (3,5)points vs.5 (4,5)points]than control group (both P < 0.01).Conclusions Tranexamic acid can be applied conveniently in pre-hospital emergency care of craniocerebral trauma patients.It can effectively realize the synchronization of pre hospital transport and treatment,eventually reducing the time of NICU treatment as well as improving the prognosis.
