Enlightenment of the training model of orthopedic residents in the US to orthopedics education in China / 中华医学教育探索杂志

This article reviews the training model of orthopedic residents in the world's top orthopedic hospitals, such as Hospital for Special Surgery Affiliated to Cornell University and The Affiliated Hospital of Harvard University Medical School, and it is found that there are differences between China and the US in the training of orthopedic residents in the aspects of the admittance system of physicians, the setting of training contents , and the training model of orthopedic residents . The training of orthopedic residents in the US adheres to the concept of elite education and pays attention to the construction of tutors and learning atmosphere. The enlightenment to the training of orthopedic residents in China includes further clarification of the training objectives of orthopedic residents , improvement of the stage-based training system , integration of excellent medical teaching resources , and improvement of teaching methods and assessment systems.

Association between rs689466 in COX-2 gene and aspirin resistance in cerebral infarction patients / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COX-2 with aspirin resistance in Chinese cerebral infarction patients. Methods A total of 150 Chinese cerebral infarction patients were recruited. Platelet aggregation response was measured by light transmission aggregometry method and four SNPs located in COX2 gene were genotyped by sequencing method. Results Sixty patients of the total were classified as aspirin non-responders. For clinical variables , concentrations of high homocysteine and the frequency of recurrence cerebral infarction were significantly higher in aspirin non-responders when compared with aspirin responders. Univariate analysis of SNPs showed that rs20417 , rs689465 and rs689466 were significantly associated with aspirin resistance. Multivariate analysis indicated that after adjusting other SNPs and clinical risk factors, rs20417 and rs689466 were still significantly associated with aspirin resistance. Conclusions Rs689466 is significantly associated with aspirin resistance in Chinese cerebral infarction patients even after the adjustment of rs20417. By combining rs689466 , rs20417 and other clinical risk factors , we may better classify the aspirin non-responders from aspirin responders.

Relationship Between Bilirubin Blood Lipid Comprehensive Index and Fibrinogen to Severity of Coronary Lesions in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease / 中国循环杂志

Objective: To investigate the relationship between Bilirubin blood lipid comprehensive index and ifbrinogen (FIB) to severity of coronary lesions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A total of 324 patients with angiography (CAG) conifrmed diagnosis were divided into 2 sets of groups.①By CAG examination, the patients were divided into 2 groups: CAD group,n=262 and Non-CAD group,n=62.②By Gensini scoring system, the patients were divided into 4 quartile groups: 1st quartile group,n=58, 2nd quartile group,n=110, 3rd group, n=80 and 4th quartile group,n=76. The blood levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, HDL-C, TG and ifbrinogen were measured and bilirubin blood lipid comprehensive index, TC/(HDL-C+TBIL) and LDL-C/(HDL-C+TBIL) were calculated respectively. Results:①By CAG examination, compared with Non-CAD group, CAD group had increased TC, LDL-C, ratios of TC/(HDL-C+TBIL), LDL-C/(HDL-C+TBIL) and FIB,P Conclusion: Bilirubin blood lipid comprehensive index and ifbrinogen were positively related to severity of coronary lesions in CAD patients.
