Objective Training a few medical students as standardized patients to teach and test other medical students'physical examination skills is a good way to compensate the deficient teaching resources and improve the medical students'clinical capabilities.Methods We spent 12 class hours to train 6 students as standardized patients.Then we used these 6 students'standardized patients to help the teacher to educate medical students in experimental group,while students in the control group only had traditional class under the construction of the teachers as before.At last,we collected their final physical examination skills'score.Results The final physical examination skill score of experimental group(85.78?5.89)is higher than that of control group(84.53?4.64)(P

Objective To analyze the related risk factors for delayed gastric emptying ( DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy .Methods Clinical data on 308 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Ningbo Lihuili hospital from January 2009 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed , and patients were divided into DGE group and non-DGE group.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to study the risk factors associated with DGE during perioperative period .Results DGE occurred in 55 patients (17.9%).The incidences of grade A, grade B and grade C DGE were 7.1%(22/308), 6.2%(19/308) and 4.5%(14/308), respectively.The univariate analysis showed the method of pancreatic digestive tract reconstruction ( pancreaticogastrostomy or pancreaticojejunostomy ) , postoperative pancreatic fistula, postoperative biliary fistula and postoperative intraabdominal infection were risk factors for DGE after surgery. Multivariate analysis indicated that the method of pancreatic digestive tract reconstruction (OR=1.19, P=0.046), postoperative pancreatic fistula ( OR=1.33, P=0.014), postoperative biliary fistula (OR=1.43, P=0.047) and postoperative intraabdominal infection (OR=1.51, P=0.001) were independently associated with DGE . Postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR=3.692, P=0.021) and intraabdominal infection (OR=3.725,P=0.003)were also the independent risk factors for Grade B and Grade C DGE. Conclusions DGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy was strongly related to the postoperative complications .Postoperative pancreatic fistula , biliary fistula and intraabdominal infection were associated with increased risk of DGE , while pancreaticogastrostomy reduced the incidence of DGE by decreasing the incidence of pancreatic or biliary fistula .

Objective To explore the mechanism and clinical value of320-slice CT perfusion (CTP) and CT angiography (CTA) in peritumoral brain edema of parasagittal meningiomas.Methods Sixty-six patients diagnosed as having benign parasagittal meningioma by imaging in our hospital from May 2010 to January 2015 were divided into non-peritumoral edema group (n=22) and peritumoral edema group (n=42) according to the cerebral MR T2 phase imaging.All patients were given 320-row CTP and CTA scan before surgery,and cerebral blood flow (CBF),cerebral blood volume (CBV),mean transit time (MTT) and time to peak (TTP) were obtained;and then,generated perfusion images and CTA images and fusion image were created.Results TTP ofperitumoral tissues from the tumor margin 0.5 cm and 1.5 cm was [(28.1±3.3) s and (24.5±2.8) s,respectively in the peritumoral edema group,which was significantly longer than that in the non-peritumoral edema group ([14.8±1.3] s,P<0.05).Via comparison of the fused image,the lumen diameter of tumor-draining venous widened and shaped in appearance,and became relatively thin and straight in appearance in lumen diameter before entering the sinus,which suggested that the drainage was not free.Conclusion The TTP extension of tumor tissues and peritumoral brain tissues is the important characteristic for CTP scanning of peritumoral edema in meningiomas;poor blood return of tumor tissues may be the mechanism of peritumoral edema in meningiomas;fusion image has an important guiding significance for clinical surgery.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in treating Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and to analyze the long-term follow-up results. Methods From October 1998 to May 2008,98 BCS patients (inferior vena cava obstruction,n = 34 ; hepatic vein obstruction, n = 22; combined obstruction, n = 42) who accepted PTA treatment successfully were investigated. The changes of clinical manifestations and liver function post-operation were observed; the long term survival rate was evaluated. Results Only two patients were complicated with transhepatic puncture tract bleeding, the prognosis was good after emergency operation. Sixty patients presented with low extremities edema, which was fully subsided after PTA.Of eighty-eight ascites patients, ascites disappeared in eighty patients after operation, and in the other eight patients combined with oral diuretic treatment post-operation. The median Rotterdam prognostic score of one month post-operation and the last follow-up time point was 0. 11 and 0. 09, significantly lowered than pre-operation (1.12). The difference was statistical significance (P=0. 000). At 1, 3, 5 years postoperative, the cumulative vessel patency rates were 96%, 94% and 94% respectively, and the cumulative survival rates were 94%, 91% and 87%. Conclusions Treating BCS with PTA has a high success rate, a good safety and a long-term survival rate.

Purpose:
RIOK1 has been proved to play an important role in cancer cell proliferation and migration in various types of cancers—such as colorectal and gastric cancers. However, the expression of RIOK1 in breast cancer (BC) and the relationship between RIOK1 expression and the development of BC are not well characterized. In this study, we assessed the expression of RIOK1 in BC and evaluated the mechanisms underlying its biological function in this disease context.
Materials and Methods:
We used immunohistochemistry, western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the expression of RIOK1 in BC patients. Then, knockdown or overexpression of RIOK1 were used to evaluate the effect on BC cells in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we predicted miR-204-5p could be a potential regulator of RIOK1.
Results:
We found that the expression levels of RIOK1 were significantly higher in hormone receptor (HR)–negative BC patients and was associated with tumor grades (p=0.010) and p53 expression (p=0.008) and survival duration (p=0.011). Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested a tendency for the poor prognosis. In vitro, knockdown of RIOK1 could inhibit proliferation, invasion, and induced apoptosis in HR-negative BC cells and inhibited tumorigenesis in vivo, while overexpression of RIOK1 promoted HR-positive tumor progression. MiR-204-5p could regulate RIOK1 expression and be involved in BC progression.
Conclusion
These findings indicate that RIOK1 expression could be a biomarker of HR-negative BC, and it may serve as an effective prognostic indicator and promote BC progression.
