ABSTRACT
The mixed evaluation system uses the network platform as a carrier to construct a dynamic evaluation model that spans time and space between online and offline, between individuals and teams. Mixed evaluation system of physiology was performed for two years, and the process evaluation and the summative evaluation in the mixed evaluation system showed a good correlation, and the students' learning ability and learning effect showed consistency with the evaluation results. Practice has proved that the mixed evaluation system not only optimizes the traditional evaluation system, but also fully expands the five principles of formative evaluation; however, while reflecting the advantages of the network platform, it also exposes the defects of insufficient supervision of the network platform. Thus, we should further improve the mixed evaluation system of physiology.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) after surgeries in Yunnan Province.@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the demographic features, vascular risk factors, severity at admission, and aneurysm locations in 85 patients with aSAH receiving surgical interventions in Yunnan Province. All the patients were treated by aneurysm clipping or coiling and followed up for clinical outcomes and recovery of daily activities evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, respectively.@*RESULTS@#Thirty-four of the patients (40.0%) underwent aneurysm clipping and 51 (60.0%) underwent aneurysm coiling. During a median follow- up period of 66.23 months (IOR, 12.03 months), 84.7% of the patients had low mRS scores, and 78.8% lived independently. The WFNS grade at admission was significantly correlated with the follow-up mRS scores (95%: 1.48-19.09, =0.011) and ADL (95%: 2.55-28.77, 0.05), but the cost of hospitalization was significantly higher in coiling group than in the clipping group ( < 0.001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Both aging and a high WFNS grade at admission are associated with a poor prognosis of aSAH, for which aneurysm clipping and coiling have similar long- term outcomes, but for patients with a high WFNS score, aneurysm clipping is favored over coiling in terms of health economics.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Aconitum carmichaeli Debx (ACD) is the tuberous root of Aconium carmicgaekum, used as cardiotonic to restore yang for the treatment of colapse and shock, to warm the kidney and reinforceyang, and to expel cold and promote the flow ofyang-qi. Studies have found that ACD has obviously cardiotonic, antihypertensive, vasodilatory, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and toxic effects. OBJESTIVE: To observe the vasodilatory effects of a water decoction of ACD on rabbit’s aorta rings and its mechanism. METHODS:Rabbits aorta arteries were isolated, pre-contracted with noradrenaline (10-6 mol/L) and their responses to different concentrations of ACD (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 g/L) were investigated. The effects of removal of vascular endothelium and different signaling pathway inhibitors (Nω-nitro-L-arginine: 1×10-4 mol/L, methylene blue: 1×10-5 mol/L, indomethacin: 1×10-5 mol/L, propranolol: 1×10-5 mol/L) on ACD-induced vasodilation were also assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:ACD could not change the resting tension of rabbit aortic rings, but ACD treatment resulted in an obvious relaxation in narodrenaline-precontracted aortic rings and the relaxant effect was dose-dependent. The vasodilatory effect of ACD was significantly reduced by removal of endothelium, 1×10-4 mol/L Nω-nitro-L-arginine and 1×10-5 mol/L methylene blue but not reduced by indomethacin and propranolol. In addition, 4 g/L water decoction of ACD did not decrease the dose-response curves of artery rings to narodrenaline or KCl in the absence of endothelial cels. ACD can relax isolated rabbit’s aorta, which may be related to endothelium-released nitric oxide, but has no significant relevance with receptor-operated and voltage-dependent calcium channels.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the expression of bcl-2, p53, Ki-67 in malignant lymphoma (ML)and the relationship between the expression of bcl-2, Ki-67, p53 and prognosis for the patients who were given autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). Methods The expression of bcl-2,Ki-67, p53 were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on paraffin-embedded slices in 33 cases of ML who received AHSCT. Survival analysis was done by the Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test.Multivariate analysis was carried out using COX proportional hazard model. Results For patients with ML who received AHSCT, the 3-year disease free survival (DFS) of bcl-2(+) group was 35.71%, while that bcl-2(-) group was 88.89 %. There was significant difference of DFS between the two groups. Meanwhile, for these patients, the 3-year DFS of Ki-67(+) and Ki-67(-) were 43.75 % and 85.71%, respectively (P ＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the expression of bcl-2 and Ki-67 were the independent prognostic factors.Conclusion The expression of bcl-2 and Ki-67 were closely related with relapse after AHSCT in patients with ML. They were useful molecular makers for predicting the prognosis of patients with ML after AHSCT.
