Developing a Peer Review Process for Web-based Curricula

The World Wide Web creates new challenges and opportunities for medical educators. Prominent among these are the lack of consistent standards by which to evaluate web-based educational tools. We present the instrument that was used to review web-based innovations in medical education submissions to the 2003 Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) national meeting, and discuss the process used by the SGIM web-based clinical curriculum interest group to develop the instrument. The 5 highest-ranked submissions are summarized with commentary from the reviewers.

寡克隆区带及IgG指数在多发性硬化中的临床意义

目的研究寡克隆区带（OCB）和IgG指数在多发性硬化（MS）中的临床意义。方法收集MS患者54例和其他神经系统疾病（OND）患者271例,包括中枢神经系统感染性疾病62例及非感染性疾病209例的脑脊液和血清标本,分别进行OCB检测（聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳）和IgG指数的计算（免疫火箭电泳法）。结果MS组OCB阳性率为35.2%;OND组为8.9%,其中感染组为24.2%,非感染组为4.5%。MS与OND组整体比较OCB阳性率有显著性差异（P〈0.05）,但与感染组相比无显著性差异（P〉0.05）。MS组IgG指数阳性率为83.3%,OND组为78.2%（P〉0.05）。结论OCB对MS有一定的辅助诊断价值,但需除外CNS感染性疾病。IgG指数阳性可作为参考。     

Clinical and Physical Evaluation of the Infertile Male: Testicular Measurement or Orchidometry/Klinische und physikalische Bewertung des infertilen Mannes: Hodenmessung oder Orchidometrie

Summary: For the quantitative determination of the testicular size or volume, two groups of apparatus are available: on the one hand, model testes, which are extremely valuable in longitudinal and cross-sectional studies during the period of pubescence, and on the other hand, measuring devices, with which the testicular dimensions can be specified. The latter instruments are helpful chiefly during the adolescent years and the diagnosis of problems surrounding fertility. The testicular volume can be calculated subsequently from the specific testicular measurements. The formula, for computing the volume of an ellipsoid, seems to be the most suitable for this purpose. Appliances also have been developed, which allow the largest (longitudinal) dimension (in mm) and the testicular volume (in cm3) to be read off simultaneously. A tonometer can be useful to quantitatively estimate the testicular consistency, which is a parameter of the testicular integrity at the level of tubular function (spermatozoa production).     

不同分级肝硬化患者血清甲状腺素水平的意义

目的探讨肝硬化患者血清中甲状腺素水平的变化与肝硬化病变程度及其临床实验室检查之间的相关性。方法用放免法测定肝硬化患者血清FT3、FT4、PC-Ⅲ、Ⅳ-C、LN及HA，并按Child—Pugh方法将肝功能分为A、B、C三级。结果随着肝硬化病变程度的加重，血清肝纤维化指标逐渐增高，甲状腺素呈下降趋势，同时血清甲状腺素水平与肝硬化的低蛋白血症、腹水及凝血酶原时间密切相关。结论肝硬化患者体内存在不同程度的甲状腺素水平紊乱，紊乱程度与肝功能受损程度有明显相关性，联合检测血清FT3、FT4、PC-Ⅲ、Ⅳ—C、LN及HA对估计肝硬化病变程度及判断预后有十分重要的临床价值。     

脑电双频指数指导老年病人异丙酚麻醉诱导用量

[目的]通过监测老年病人麻醉诱导时脑电双频指数(BIS)的变化,探讨既能维持足够麻醉深度又能避免严重低血压的异丙酚诱导用量。[方法]40例ASA II～I级的老年病人(65～85岁),随机分成两组。A组静脉注射异丙酚1.6 mg/kg;B组静脉注射异丙酚,其用量是使BIS下降到40～50时的用量。两组均复合维库溴铵0.1 mg/kg和瑞芬太尼1ug/kg诱导后行气管插管分别记录基础值、插管前、插管后1 min、5 min和10 min时的收缩压(SBP)、舒张压(DBP)、平均动脉压(MAP)、心率(HR),同时记录诱导异丙酚用药量和BIS的变化。[结果]A组异丙酚诱导用药量(99.7±18.05)mg,平均(1.64±0.7)mg/kg,B组(82.9±12.5)mg,平均(1.35±0.5)mg/kg,差异有统计学意义(P﹤0.05)。A组血压(BP)和BIS比B组明显降低。[结论]老年病人异丙酚麻醉诱导的合适用量为(1.35±0.5)mg/kg;既能维持老年人足够的麻醉深度又能避免严重低血压的发生。     

Zero-Order Release Formulation of Oxprenolol Hydrochloride with Swelling and Erosion Control

Zero-order release of oxprenolol hydrochloride was obtained by controlling the swelling and erosion of the matrix. This formulation involves only mixing of drug, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na CMC) at the ratio of 1:0.4:1.6, respectively, and compressing the mixture directly into tablets. The in vitro release pattern from this optimized matrix tablet was reproducible. Accelerated stability studies revealed that the optimized formulation remains stable for an approximately 2-year shelf life. This sustained-release (SR) tablet was evaluated in dogs, and for comparison a conventional (CV) formulation was also given at the same dose level. Plasma oxprenolol levels were monitored by a sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method. Significant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters, i.e., lower C _max, higher values of t _max, MRT, AUC, and plasma concentration at 24 hr, and nearly constant plasma levels over 12 hr, indicated that the SR matrix tablet is superior to the CV rapid-releasing formulation. The in vitro release parameters and in vivo pharmacokinetics correlated well.

用秩和比法对我院的10个公示病种医疗质量进行综合评价

目的对我院2005年度公示的10个病种进行医疗质量综合评价。方法采用秩和比法(RSR)进行统计分析。结果我院的10个公示病种被划分成4个医疗质量等级:老年性白内障、小儿支气管肺炎2个病种质量为优,急性阑尾炎、腹股沟疝(单侧)、子宫平滑肌瘤、剖宫产4个病种质量为良,胃大切、脑梗塞、急性心肌梗塞3个病种质量为中,脑出血1个病种质量为差。结论通过对综合指数秩和比(RSR)的计算并根据其值分级归档,反映出所研究病种之间存在着医疗质量高低的差异。控制和降低本院临床常见病种的医药费用,进行医疗全程连续性控制,为患者提供经济有效的医疗服务。
