PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of reflective trainings for nursing students on their critical thinking disposition. METHODS: A total of 157 senior undergraduate nursing students sampled from Hainan Medical University in China participated in this study in 2014. They were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group students were provided the reflective training during their entire 12-month clinical internship, whereas students in the control group were requested to keep their reflective diaries but without a formal training. Before and after the intervention, nursing students' critical thinking disposition was rated using the Chinese version of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI-CV). RESULTS: Before the start of the intervention, the critical thinking disposition scores of the two groups had no significant differences. At the end of the intervention, it was found that the experimental students performed better in each subscale of CTDI-CV. These include the search for truth, open mind, analytical ability, systematic ability, critical thinking, self-confidence, curiosity, and cognitive maturity. By summing the scores of all categories, the results showed that the experimental group had a significantly higher total score than that of the control group (p ≤ .044). Evaluating the score difference in each function indicated that there was a range of improvements on the critical thinking disposition because of the reflective training intervention. CONCLUSION: Reflective training during the internship period improves nursing students' disposition of critical thinking and promotes their readiness for their clinical practices in the rapidly increasing demands of the healthcare field.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the molecular pathogenesis of SLC26A4 mutations associated with inner ear malformations including large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS), Mondini dysplasia and inner ear malformations but not accompanied with LVAS.
METHOD:
DNA sample and clinical material were obtained from 14 sporadic LVAS probands, six Mondini dysplasia probands and seven inner ear malformations excluding IVAS probands. SLC26A4 gene mutation was analyzed by direct sequencing for its 20 coding exons. GJB2 gene and also mt12SrRNA were analyzed by direct sequencing.
RESULT:
In 14 cases of LVAS, two mutations were detected in 12 patients (85.7%, either homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations), and one mutation was found in two patients (14.3%). In six cases of Mondini dysplasia, two mutations were detected in all of patients (100%). No mutation could be found in the seven cases of other inner ear abnormalities not accompanied with LVAS. No pathogenic mutation was detected in all of these 27 probands in GJB2 gene and mt12SrRNA 1555/1494T.
CONCLUSION
We have shown that LVAS and Mondini dysplasia closely correlate with SLC26A4 gene. No mutation was detected in seven probands of inner ear malformations not accompanied with LVAS. We should study the molecular pathogenesis of this disease in depth.

Objective To investigate the correlation among fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), child asthma control test(C-ACT) and lung function in asthmatic children and its clinical significance. Methods A total of 108 cases of asthmatic children in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from June 2016 to September 2018 were recruited. Forty-seven cases (47.44%) were in acute onset, 40 cases(40.37%) were in chronic persistent, and 21 cases (21.19%) were in paracmasis. FeNO, lung function and C-ACT score were measured, and the correlation among them was analyzed. Results The level of FeNO in acute onset patients and chronic persistent patients had no significant difference:(44.18 ± 25.47)×10-9 vs. (46.98 ± 27.50)×10-9, P>0.05, but the level of FeNO in paracmasis patients was lower [(24.43 ± 10.71) × 10-9], compared with that of acute onset patients and chronic persistent patients, there were significant differences (P < 0.01). The scores of C-ACT in three groups had significant difference (P < 0.01), and there were significant differences between any two groups (P <0.01). The levels of forced expiratory peak flow rate measured value as a percentage of predicted value (FEV1%) and forced expiratory volume and forced vital capacity ratio in the first second (FEV1/FVC) in acute onset patients were significantly lower than those in chronic persistent patients and paracmasis patients (P <0.01), and there were no significant differences between chronic persistent patients and paracmasis patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with lung functions and C-ACT, FeNO is a good biomarker to evaluate the airway inflammation of asthmatic children.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotypic characteristics and therapeutic effect of cutaneous anthrax patients in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (referred to as Ningxia).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 76 confirmed patients with cutaneous anthrax in three prefecture level hospitals in Ningxia from 2017 to 2022. According to the length of hospital treatment, the patients were divided into a disease course ≥7 d group ( n = 54) and a disease course < 7 d group ( n = 22), and the clinical phenotypic characteristics (including patients' general condition, clinical symptoms, and laboratory tests) and therapeutic effects (the effect of hormone use and the choice of antibiotics) of the two groups were analyzed by methods such as χ 2 test. Results:Among 76 patients with cutaneous anthrax, males accounted for 81.6% (62/76) and females accounted for 18.4% (14/76), with a statistically significant difference in gender composition ratio (χ 2 = 5.71, P = 0.017). Among the 76 patients, 73 caces (96.1%) achieved clinical cure. There was no statistically significant differences between the groups in clinical characteristics such as temperature, pain, pruritus, edema, and site of onset ( P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in laboratory tests such as blood routine, liver function, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, secretion culture, PCR, etc. ( P > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of edema resolution time between patients using hormone or not (χ 2 = 17.01, P = 0.002). There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of disease course between different antibiotic treatment regimens when using hormone (χ 2 = 5.43, P = 0.143). There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of disease course between different antibiotic treatment regimens when no using hormone (χ 2 = 108.46, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The majority of cutaneous anthrax patients in Ningxia from 2017 to 2022 are males. Early use of hormones can affect the duration of edema in patients. For patients who have not received hormone therapy, different treatment plans can affect the patient's course of disease.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of nucleic acid matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS)in sputum smear-negative patients with nontuberculous Mycobacterial(NTM)pulmonary disease.Methods:Clinical data of 123 patients suspected of NTM pulmonary disease admitted in Public Health Clinical Center Affiliated to Shandong University between July 2022 and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)specimens were collected for MALDI-TOF MS assay and MGIT 960 culture. The diagnostic efficacy of MALDI-TOF MS for NTM pulmonary disease in patients with negative sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software and MedCalc statistical software.Results:Diagnosis of NTM pulmonary disease was finally confirmed in 66 out of the 123 suspected patients. It took 8 to 24 h for MALDI-TOF MS to identify NTM species and resistance. By MALDI-TOF MS,72 NTM strains were identified,with the Mycobacterium avium complex being the most prevalent(34 strains,47.22%),followed by the Mycobacterium abscessus complex(13 strains,18.06%);resistance to macrolides was detected in 6 cases,while no resistance to aminoglycosides was found. It took 9 to 45 days for BALF MGIT 960 culture to identify NTM,and took 7 to 15 days for NTM typing and drug sensitivity testing. By BALF MGIT 960 culture,28 NTM strains were identified;and 1 case was found to be resistant to macrolides. Using confirmed diagnosis as the gold standard,MALDI-TOF MS demonstrated higher sensitivity,negative predictive value,and agreement rate compared to MGIT 960 culture(84.85% vs. 42.42%,81.13% vs. 56.32%,80.49% vs. 62.60%, χ2=25.667,8.998,9.664, P<0.05 or <0.01). The area under ROC curve(AUC)for MALDI-TOF MS was significantly higher than that of MGIT 960 culture(0.801 vs. 0.642, Z=3.300, P=0.001). Conclusion:Compared to MGIT 960 culture,MALDI-TOF MS exhibits superior diagnostic efficiency in detecting NTM pulmonary disease in patients with acid-fast bacilli smear-negative sputum,with advantage of rapidly identifying NTM species and resistance.
