如何上好医学生药品质量选修课

医学生在以后的工作中会经常接触到药品，而药品质量的好坏直接关系到患者的生命安全，因此在医学生中开设药品质量选修课非常必要。本文从教学方法、教学手段、教学内容的衔接等方面提出了一些观点和具体方法。

Comparison of computer-assisted learning with tutorial teaching in a group of first-year dental students

Two identical groups of first-year dental students were instructed in the pathology of dental caries and periodontitis using computer-assisted learning (CAL) or tutorial teaching (TT). A cross-over arrangement, in which the first group was taught about dental caries by CAL and periodontitis by TT and the second group in the reverse order, allowed comparison of the two methods. The comparison included a knowledge test and completion of a questionnaire. CAL and TT were equally effective as far as acquisition of knowledge was concerned. Students felt pressurized with CAL and had problems with note-taking. They liked a teacher to be present. Nevertheless, CAL was an acceptable method of instruction and was more economical, in terms of staff involvement, than TT.     

Phase-derivative analysis in MR angiography: Reduced Venc dependency and improved vessel wall detection in laminar and disturbed flow

A problem of current MRA techniques is the inability to accurately depict the vascular anatomy, particularly in areas of disturbed flow. Various reasons, such as intravoxel phase dispersion, saturation, temporal variations, and maximum intensity projection (MIP) nonlinearity, cause a wrong delineation of vessel boundaries. A phase contrast (PC)-based postprocessing operation, the phase derivative (PhD), is introduced to detect phase fluctuations indicating flow. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional angiographic reconstruction algorithms are presented. Mathematical formulas are derived to predict the effect of sampling to flow profiles and the effect on the PhD of these profiles. Numerical, phantom, and preliminary in vivo experiments demonstrate that PhD images do not suffer from phase wraps and allow a velocity dynamic range extension only limited by a differential phase change. It is also shown that PhD MIPs produce higher signal-to-noise ratios than conventional PC angiograms and give a better impression of the anatomy of (stenotic) vessels and of their diameters for both laminar and disturbed flow.     

An Improved Method of Removing Polyurethane Foam-Covered Gel Prostheses

One of the advantages of polyurethane foam-covered prostheses has been that in the first 5 to 10 years after their use, the amount of capsular contraction was found much less than when similar ``slick' prostheses were used. Another advance was their fixation to the surrounding tissue thus giving a more natural appearance and movement with the muscles when the arms were moved in any direction. The formation of a thick capsule also acted as a protection against gel granuloma due to rupture of the prosthesis and has been thought to be a factor in the lower capsule contraction rate. The greatest disadvantage has been that its removal was extremely difficult and this has continued up until the technique described in this paper has been introduced.     

CT仿真结肠内窥镜的临床应用研究

目的:研究CT仿真结肠内窥镜(CT Virtual Colonoscopy,CTVC)的使用价值,应用方法及镜下表现。方法:使用Hispeed FX/i扫描机,扫描层厚3～5mm,螺距1～2,重叠重建率50％～67％。利用Navigator Smooth软件对容积扫描数据进行三维重建,获得仿真结肠内窥镜的影像,并与纤维肠镜和/或手术所见对照分析,全部病例经病理证实。结果:通过选择不同的观察方位,角度和阈值,CTVC能清楚显示靶器官内正常解剖结构的立体影像和病变的部位、大小、形态及其侵犯范围。CTVC对结肠病变形态的显示与FC或/和标本显示具有良好的对应性,另外,CTVC能从闭塞和狭窄的远端观察病变。但CTVC不能显示组织的颜色变化,不能活检。结论:CTVC作为一种新的非侵袭性结肠检查方法,可以作为纤维结肠镜的有效补充手段,有较好的临床应用价值。     

Vessel enhancement filtering in three-dimensional MR angiograms using long-range signal correlation

Small vessels in three-dimensional MR angiograms have low visibility in maximum-intensity projection images because of their low contrast. In a previous study, we had two nonlinear filters that appeared to give significant improvement in small vessel detail. In this paper, we report on a generalization of this filter that allows a more general modeling of the vessels and a more complete suppression of background. One implementation of the general filter gave a vessel mean contrast-to-noise ratio that is 2.52 and 3.51 times higher than the vessel mean contrast-to-noise ratio obtained using our previously reported maximum-minimum (max-min) filter and cross- section filter, respectively.
