RESUMEN
The seco-prezizaane-type sesquiterpenes (SPS), as a special class of sesquiterpenes with a highly oxidative five-ring cage structure and seven consecutive chiral centers, are isolated from the genus Illicium, which have a variety of biological activities, including neurotoxicity and neurotrophic effects, etc. This review summarizes the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of SPS, and discusses the potential trend and scope of future research.
RESUMEN
Academic exchange is an important part of cultivating young talents,which plays an important role in promo-ting knowledge dissemination,broadening academic horizons,cultivating scientific research thinking,improving innovation abili-ty,strengthening peer review,and conducting interdisciplinary cooperation.Based on the connotation and significance of academ-ic exchange,this paper analyzes the main problems faced by public hospitals in the process of academic exchange,and puts for-ward some promotion strategies,such as strengthening institutional guarantees,increasing funding support,increasing publicity efforts,and standardizing process management,creates a good academic exchange atmosphere,constructs a diverse academic ex-change platform,and provides reference for improving the quality of young talent cultivation in public hospitals.
RESUMEN
Problem-based learning (PBL), which originated in foreign countries, advocates the core idea of multidisciplinary integrated learning, which coincides with the trend of curriculum integration in current medical education. First, this article systematically introduces the process of PBL in the organ system integrated course which is conducted in Nanshan College of Guangzhou Medical University. Second, this article discusses the teaching results and reflection so as to provide reference for the continuous localization reformation of PBL and further medical curriculum integration in college and university.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the safety and effectiveness of application of modified double-lumen microcatheter in the measurement of fractional flow reserve(FFR) in coronary bifurcation lesions.Methods:Total of 28 patients with coronary bifurcation lesions in two centers were divided into two groups:conventional technique group(CON) and novel technique group(NOV). The fluoroscopy time, contrast dye usage and FFR-related complications of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 16 cases in CON group and 12 cases in NOV group. The median time required fluoroscopy in NOV group was significantly less than that in CON group; additionally, lesser amounts of contrast dye were used in NOV group (both P<0.05). The NOV group procedures were successfully accomplished in all cases without complications, such as damage of the pressure sensor, SB spasm or dissection. However, The CON group failed in three patients, including two who experienced coronary artery spasms( P>0.05). Conclusions:Limited experience suggests that the application of modified double-lumen microcatheter in the jailed SB FFR measurement after MV stenting is a safe and technically feasible approach.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (AR) greatly affect the quality of life (QoL) in the patients with AR. The correlations of nasal response to leukotriene D4 (LTD4) and histamine nasal provocation with health related QoL in AR are not clear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlations of nasal response to LTD4 and histamine nasal challenge with QoL in AR. METHODS: Patients randomly underwent LTD4 and histamine nasal challenge tests, completed the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQoLQ), and rating the symptom severity score (total symptom score 4, TSS4) in the previous week. The correlations between nasal challenge tests induced nasal responses and QoL in RQoLQ were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 25 eligible AR patients enrolled and finished both LTD4 and histamine nasal challenge and completed the questionnaire of RQoLQ. Histamine nasal challenge induced sneezing, increased nasal resistant were correlated with most of the dimensions (general, practical, nasal, eye problems, and quality of sleep, p < 0.05), while LTD4 nasal challenge induced sneeze, increased nasal resistant only correlated with nasal and ocular problems. On the contrary, the severity of the sneeze assessed by TSS4, was not correlated with QoL, while the severity of rhinorrhea, congestion, and nasal pruritus were correlated with nasal and practical problems, and nasal congestion was also correlated with ocular problems (r = 0.60, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: LTD4 and histamine nasal challenge induced nasal responses were correlated with different clinical symptoms severity and QoL, which can be used as a good diagnosis and evaluation methods for the management of AR.
