Objective To investigate the effect of case simulation and participatory feedback teaching used for neonatal resuscitation training. Methods One hundred and twenty medical staff was selected as subjects from Obstetric and Pediatric department and were randomized into 4 batches to receive a neonatal resuscitation training program that consisted of theoretical lectures and skill practice. In the control group (first two batches), the teacher demonstrated procedures of neonatal resuscitation, then trainees practiced alone and the teacher corrected their wrong procedure. In the observation group (last two batches), interactive teaching was employed and the training was performed into three steps:practice of skill in teams, watch the procedure of their practice, the feedback. The theoretical exami-nation score, practical examination score, teamwork ability and satisfaction were compared between two groups. SPSS 16.0 was employed for statistical analysis, with α=0.05 as detection level. Results The theoretical examination scores of control group and observation group were (34.27 ±2.26) vs. (33.68±2.32). There was no significant difference in theoretical examination score between the two groups ( P=0 . 166 ) . The practice examination score s of control group and observation group were (36.15±1.46) vs. (34.79±2.43), with significant differences (P=0.000). The teamwork ability of control group and observation group were (35.78 ±1.26) vs. (33.63 ±1.98), with obviously significant differ-ences (P=0.000). The trainees individual study interest, practice intent, knowledge and satisfaction with the training in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group. These results were (8.45±2.75) vs. (6.24±2.28), P=0.001;(8.25±2.05) vs. (6.48±2.75), P=0.003;(7.23±1.37) vs. (5.75 ±1.74), P=0.000; (8.21 ±1.45) vs. (6.34 ±1.69), P=0.000. Conclusion Application of the teaching in neonatal resuscitation training can enhance comprehensive practical skills and team coop-eration ability in med-ical staff, and it improves trainee's satisfaction with the training.

Objective The aim of our study is to investigate the prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and the genetic characteristics of the class 1 integron in CRKP on multi-drug resistance.Methods Clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were collected from multiple departments of a hospital in central China. CRKP strains were identified among the isolates, and antibiotics susceptibility of CRKP strains was analyzed. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was adopted to amplify the class 1 integron variable area. The integron genetic structure was analyzed with enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing technology. The relation between class 1 integron and drug resistance was analyzed statistically.Results Totally 955 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from varied sites of the hospital, and 117(12.3%) of them were identified as CRKP, with a separation rate of 8.9% (26/292) in 2013, 11.3% (38/336) in 2014 and 16.2% (53/327) in 2015, which shows an increasing trend by year. 44.4% (52/117) of CRKP strains were separated from specimen of ICU, and 61.5% (72/117) were from sputum. Over 95% CRKP strains were resistant to ampicillin/sulbactam, aztreonam, imipenem, meropenem, ceftazidme, cefotaxime, cefepime,and piperacillin, while relatively low resistant rates were found in tigecycline (12.8%) and colistin (35.9%). The class 1 integron was detected in 77.8% (91/117) of CRKP strains. Class 1 integron of CRKP was significantly correlated with the antibiotic resistance to the tobramycin, gentamicin and amikacin (all P<0.01). The gene cassette analysis of variable area of class 1 integron showed that aadA2 accounts for 64.8% (59/91), aacA4-catB8-aadA1 23.1% (21/91), and aadA2-dfrA25 12.1% (11/91).Conclusions CRKP has an increasing trend in a clinical setting in China, and most of them were resistant to multiple antibiotics. Class 1 integron in CRKP has strong ability to capture the genes resistant to aminoglycosides antibiotics from environment, with the aadA2 gene as the most popular one.

Objective To study the protective function and the mechanism of Shenqi Dihuang decoction on the kidney of type 2 diabetes melltuds rats. Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus rat models were set up by injection of small dose of streptozotocin (STZ). The SD rats were randomized into a control group, a model group and a treatment group. The treatment group was given Shenqi Dihuang decoction. The control group and the model group were given the same amount of water. After 24 weeks, renal morphology examination and biochemical indicator were examined. The levels of Ang-Ⅱ and endothelin (ET) in senum were tested by radioimmunoassay and the level of transforming growth factorβ1 (TGF-β1) in renal cortex were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results The kidney function and kidney lesions were significantly improved in the treatment group than in the model group. Ang-Ⅱ And ET levels in serum and renal cortex was reduced, and the expression of TGF-β1 in the treatment group was decreased. Conclusion Shenqi Dihuang Decoction has protective effect on the kidney of diabetic rats, the mechanism may be related to its inhibition on the over expression of Ang- Ⅱ, ET and TGF-β1.
