Modern assessment does not reflect disadvantages of older responders, for whom more time for reply is needed. Specialists with wide clinical experience may choose more than one correct answer in alternative questions. Reduced ability to remember in older people restricts examination without additional sources of information. We offer an individualised system for testing doctors. It provides personalised choice of examination questions using multiple choice questions with weight characteristics and absence of distractors, interactive cooperation in case of negative answers and the final decision of an expert in relation to the person tested. A special algorithm is proposed for typical questions that combines the advantages of known approaches to testing. The questioning system is complex for the creators of tests, but is more convenient and objective than existing ones for medical doctors.展开更多

On the cell surface, connexins form hemichannels, or connexons. Two hemichannels brought together form a gap junction, a form of intercellular contact that allows for direct transfer of material and signals between the adjacent cells. Gap junctions serve for transporting ions and other soluble, low molecular weight molecules therefore synchronizing the microenvironment of the contacting cells and maintaining cell and tissue homeostasis. Impairment of gap junctions is associated with different pathological conditions. Importantly, it has been described in atherosclerosis, which causes local cellular dysfunction in the arterial wall tissues followed by the development of atherosclerotic plaque. There are 3 main connexins expressed in human cardiovascular system: Cx37, Cx40, and Cx43. Alterations in the arterial wall cells observed in atherosclerosis include changes in the expression pattern of the main connexins and impairment of intercellular contacts and communication. According to the currently available data, Cx37 and Cx40 have anti-atherogenic and vasculoprotective properties, while Cx43 appears to be more pro-atherogenic. However, the effects of connexins are cell type-dependent and in many cases, remain to be studied in detail. In this review, we summarize the available knowledge on connexins of the arterial wall cells involved in atherosclerosis development.展开更多

Alterations in the arterial wall cells observed in atherosclerosis include changes in the expression pattern of the main connexins and impairment of intercellular contacts and communication. According to the currently available data, Cx37 and Cx40 have anti-atherogenic and vasculoprotective properties, while Cx43 appears to be more pro-atherogenic. However, the effects of connexins are cell type-dependent and in many cases, remain to be studied in detail. In this review, we summarize the available knowledge on connexins of the arterial wall cells involved in atherosclerosis development.

文摘The kinds of special prescriptions in the book of Chengfang Qieyong cover a wide range of subjects such as internal medicine,gynecology,pediatrics and surgery,etc.These prescriptions have gathered the original discussions of doctors of all ages,condensed the author's own in-depth insights,and displayed the profound connotation of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions or clinical efficacy characteristics.Guided by the function and categories of the original monograph,26 prescriptions were integrated into seven categories,i.e.treating Qi and regulating Blood,nourishing and eliminating,exterior dispersing and dispelling cold,compromising and purging fire,drying dampness and expelling phlegm,fetal birth and baby,and carbuncle.Based on the characteristics of clinical efficacy,the connotation of legislative prescriptions,the modification of prescriptions and medicines,and the degree of decoction and prescription,etc,this paper analyzes the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine of these special prescriptions,and provides important reference for the research of modern prescriptions,the expansion of clinical application and the development of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine.
文摘Metabolic syndrome is the cluster of diseases,which is manifested by central obesity,impaired glucose tolerance,lipodystrophy,and high blood pressure.These metabolic syndrome-related traits significantly increase the risk of type 2 diabetes,adverse cardiac events,stroke,and hepatic steatosis.In the past decade,several organizations have proposed different diagnostic criteria.The use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat metabolic syndrome has received increasing attention due to its wide availability.In this paper,we report a case of three patients with metabolic syndrome with improved administration of 7.5 g of Kangen-karyu extract per day for 6 months.We present and discuss evidence supporting the possibility of using Kangenkaryu for metabolic syndrome.
文摘Bullous epidermal necrolysis drug eruption is mainly caused by drug allergy, also known as toxic epidermal necrolysis, TEN, first reported by Lyell A in 1956, also known as Lyell syndrome, is the most serious type of drug eruption, the fatality rate is about 25%-50%[1]. The disease is characterized by acute onset, obvious systemic toxic symptoms, and flaccid blisters of varying sizes on the skin of the whole body. At the beginning of the disease, the skin rash is dark red or dark red. It quickly fuses into flakes and develops into the whole body. There are flaccid blisters and epidermolysis in the lesions, which are slightly rubbed or broken, and the tenderness is obvious and accompanied by a large amount of exudation. Severe cases may involve various organs and tissues of the body, accompanied by oral, conjunctival, respiratory, gastrointestinal mucosa erosion, ulcer, some patients may have liver and kidney function damage, serious cases may die of infection, liver and kidney failure, toxicemia, electrolyte disorders or visceral bleeding.

文摘Background:Missed diagnosis rate of spiral tibia shaft fracture with posterior malleolus crack fracture(PMCF)is high in the clinical.However,the mechanism and related factors of fracture are still unclear.Moreover,PMCF has been observed in other types of tibial shaft fractures.Objective:To explore the correlative factors of tibial shaft fracture with ipsilateral PMCF,decrease the rate of clinical missed diagnosis,strengthen the effective fixation of PMCF,and reduce the incidence of traumatic arthritis.Methods:From September 2014 to May 2019,we collected 137 tibiofibular fracture.Only 68 cases involved in ankle joint CT examination and were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into posterior malleolus group(30 cases)and non-posterior malleolus group(38 cases)according to whether come up PMCF or not.The posterior malleolus group contained 24 males and 6 females,27-77(47.57±11.79)years old,the non-posterior malleolus group contained 23 males and 15 females,18-85(48.71±13.84)years old.The gender,age,location,fibula fracture and tibial shaft fracture classification were observed for univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:The probability of PMCF was higher with right tibial shaft fracture(OR=3.6995%CI:1.13-12.08 P<0.05);the probability of PMCF following distal fibular fracture was higher than that without fibular fracture(OR=11.3695%CI:1.72-75.05 P<0.05);the probability of PMCF with type A tibial shaft fracture was higher than type C(OR=4.8295%CI:1.19-19.58 P<0.05).Conclusion:Right type A tibial shaft fracture accompanied by distal fibular fracture are very important factors related to PMCF,which needs highly attention to avoid clinical missed diagnosis.
