The investigation and analysis of college students' awareness, cognition and usage of shared courses on the internet / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective To investigate college students' awareness and cognition of 84 shared courses on the Internet and analyze the discrepancies between different ethnicity and majors in Xinjiang Medical University. Methods Purposive sampling was adopted with questionnaire of 1 448 students of 26 classes in Xinjiang Medical University. The survey aimed to investigate students' awareness and cognition of these In- ternet courses. Obtained data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 13.0, and the test level α=0.05. Result The hits of preventative medicine, Chinese medicine, clinical medicine and pharmacy were 19.0%, 33.3%, 35.7% and 11.9% respectively. Among the courses whose hits exceeded 50,000, clinical medicine accounted for 50%, preventive medicine for 21.4%, Chinese medicine and pharmacy for 14.3% respectively, there being no significant difference in overall hits (P>0.05). 90.1% of the surveyed students knew shared courses on the Internet, there being no difference between gender, ethnicity and profession (P>0.05). 89.8% had an accurate understanding of the concept of shared courses on the Internet, there being differences between gender and major ( χ2gender=11.013, P=0.026; χ2major=136.08, P=0.000) without significant differences in ethnicity ( χ2=11.378, P=0.497). 71.9% of the students used shared courses on the Internet as reference resources for the course study, 46.6% for the learning content, 35.5%for the understanding of other resources related to the course, 30.1% for lab-class and exercises, 10% for discussion on online course forum. The Han and Kazak students used the courses as a study, experiment and exercise tool, while the Uyghur and Kazak mainly used these for learning and discussion on the forum, there being differences in ethnicity ( χ2=26.889, P=0.001); the usage rate of the courses of preventive medicine students is higher, whereas pharmacy students relatively low, there being significant differences in major ( χ2=38.01, P=0.004). The Kazakh and Uygur students mainly used the courses to formulate learning plans, and the Han students to learn the current curriculum. 44.7% of preventive medicine students used the courses to improve their abilities, which was significantly higher than those of other majors. Only 18.4% and 1% of pharmacy students used the courses to formulate learning plans and to improve their abilities, which were both lower than those of other majors, showing ethnic and professional differences ( χ2ethnic=37.654, P=0.001; χ2major=73.68, P=0.000). Conclusion Students' awareness of shared courses on the Internet is high and their cognition is accurate. However, there are differences in the ways and purposes of the employment of the courses between different ethnicity and majors. The main reason may be related to major, the quality of the courses, as well as the lack of effec-tive supervision and evaluation system, suggesting that the management department in our university should strengthen the supervision and evaluation of the courses and give full play to the important role of shared courses on the Internet.

Phenolic constituents of Galla Chinensis and their antiviral activities / 中国药科大学学报

@#Seven compounds in the 95% ethanol extract of Galla Chinensis were isolated by silica gel, ODS, Toyopearl HW-40(s)and RP-HPLC. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectral data and physicochemical properties as benzoic acid, 3, 4-dihydroxy-5-［(3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoyl)oxy］-, 5-ethoxycarbonyl-2, 3-dihydroxyphenyl ester(1), trigallic acid(2), 1, 2, 3, 4, 6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose(3), shikimic acid(4), gallic acid(5), methyl gallate(6)and ethyl gallate(7). Among them, compound 1 was a novel compound, and compound 2 was firstly isolated from the Galla Chinensis. The inhibition tests of the constituents showed that compound 3 exhibited in vitro antiviral activity against HSV-1 and RSV A strain, RSV Long strain with IC50 values of 13. 3, 3. 3, 3. 3 mmol/L, respectively.

Complications of selective posterior rhizotomy for lower limb spasticity of cerebral palsy / 北京大学学报(医学版)

Objective:To investigate the complications of spastic cerebral palsy with selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR).Methods:In the study, 2 593 patients who had undergone SPR from January 2000 to September 2012 were followed-up for at least one year .The complications were classified .Results:Peri-operative complications:pulmonary system complications including bronchial spasm (5 cases, 0.19%) and aspiration pneumonia (4 cases, 0.15%);digestive system complications including abdominal bloa-ting (145 cases, 5.6%) and colic (80 cases, 3.1%);urinary system complications including tempora-ry bladder dysfunction (54 cases, 2.1%) and urinary tract infection (6 cases, 0.23%); peripheral nervous system complications including lower extremity weakness ( 327 cases, 12.6%) and lower extremity sensory disturbances ( 140 cases, 5.4%); central nervous system complications including headache (112 cases, 4.3%) and epileptic seizures (4 cases, 0.15%).None spinal or intracranial in-fection, intraspinal hematoma or intracranial hemorrhage were identified .General surgery complications including back pain (1 382 cases, 53.3%), delay wound healing caused by infection (5 cases, 0.19%) and cerebrospinal fluid leakage (8 cases, 0.31%).Long-term follow-up complications inclu-ding lower limb decreased exercise capacity ( incidence: 7.33%) and lower extremity sensory distur-bance (incidence:5.59%).Urination occurred in only one case and defecation function disturbance with no sexual dysfunction was identified .The incidences of scoliosis , thoracic kyphosis , spondylolisthe-sis and long-term back pain were 7.23%(31/429), 4.2%(18/429), 10.49%(45/429) and 9.72%respectively .Conclusion:SPR is one of the effective and safe surgical treatments for spastic cerebral pal-sy.Valid methods should be applied to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications , such as choosing the appropriate patients , meticulously operating in the surgery , assistance of electrophysiological guidance , reinforcing perioperative management and regular rehabilitation training after operation .

Chronic suppurative otitis media induced subarachnoid hemorrhage: case analysis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

We present a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage induced by chronic suppurative otitis media and discuss the possible mechanism here. Chronic suppurative otitis media is a common suppurative inflammation of middle ear, which can cause sorts of extracranial and intracranial complications in the situation of lower resistance or higher virulence. However, the condition of subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by chronic suppurative otitis media is quite rare. According to this case and previously published articles, we consider that meningitis may be the main reason of subarachnoid hemorrhage induced by chronic suppurative otitis media.

Treatment of thoracolumbar compression fractures using vaginal vertebral pedicle pyramid bone grafting under endoscope / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To study methods and effect of granule bone grafting into the vertebral pedicle pyramid under endoscope for treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. Methods There were 26 cases (7 males and 19 females; age range of 32 79 years, average 51.2 years) with thoracolumbar fractures. The fractures included 8 cases (30.8%) of thoracolumbar compression burst fractures with no compression of the spinal cord by broken bone fragments and 18 (69.2%) compression fractures due to senile osteoporosis. Posterior to a preliminary reduction of the lumbar region on the operating table, all cases underwent vaginal vertebral pedicle reduction under endoscope and autogenous or hererogeneous granule bone graft in order to restore the height of the fractured vertebra pyramid. The patients kept in bed for two months postoperatively; meanwhile, the excise for the back muscle was performed. Results The mean follow up period was 3 18 months. Twenty one cases (80.8%) got excellent therapeutic result, four (15.4%) moderate and one (3.8%) poor. (1) The vertebral height recovered average 29%, with mean height loss of 5% through six month follow up. (2) The posterior convex cobb angle of the spine recovered for 10? 20? (mean 13.8?). (3) No lumbago or nerve compression symptoms were found in 21 cases. Conclusions Granule bone graft into vertebra pyramid under endoscope in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures is a minimally invasive procedure that can enhance the bone capacity of the vertebra, alleviate pain, restore the height of the fractured vertebra pyramid and accelerate bone healing.
