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 To observe the effect of triptolide on destruction of bone and joint of collageninduced arthritis (CIA) mouse. Methods Female DBA/1 mice were double immunized at the base of the tail with bovine type Ⅱ collagen (C Ⅱ). CIA mice were randomly divided into model group, methotrexate-treated group and 8.18, 16.36, 32.72 ?g/kg triptolide-treated groups. Performance of arthritis were observed regularly. Combined with radiologieal, histological methods were used, and the number of osteoelasts in bone was evaluated and analyzed with TRAP stainning. Results The clinical score and arthritis incidence of CIA mice were significantly decreased, and the number of osteoelasts in bone cavity reduced by treatment of triptolide. X-ray showed that the surface of bone of each articular was eroded, the joint space was narrow, BMD values of lumbar and knee were decreased compared with normal mice. Triptolide could significantly inhibit the damage of bones and joints of CIA mice, and increase the BMD values of lumbar and knee. Conclusion Triptolide can inhibit the damage of bones and joints of CIA mice.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of external -rou te microsurgery for retinal detachment (RD). Methods In 36 patie nts (36 eyes) with single rhegmatogenous RD, the silica gel piece and/or bucklin g bands were preplaced, and drainage of subretinal fluid, retinal cryotherapy, e xamination of locating the holes, and intraocular injection of gas were performe d under surgical microscope. The surgical effects were compared with those of ot her simultaneous 37 patients with rhegmatogenous RD who underwent surgery under binocular indirect ophthalmscope. Results The simultaneous int raoperative observation of the fundus details and the sclera through the microsc ope was excellent in all cases. Under the surgical microscope, the reaction of r etinal cryotherapy was clearly visible without any serious surgical sequela. The observation of reaction of retinal cryotherapy and the orientation of the holes were not affected by mild opacity of the refractive media. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 31 eyes after the primary surgery and in 3 eyes after the secon dary surgery, with the final rate of reattachment of 94%. The best-corrected vi sual acuity was

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods:A total of 205 patients with pretreated MBC were included in this study. These patients were admitted to the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Insti-tute&Hospital and had undergone radical surgery of breast cancer between January 2008 and December 2010. The clinicopathologic information of the patients was collected in this retrospective analysis. Results: The median overall survival of the patients was 32 months (1 month to 132 months). Luminal A, Luminal B, HER-2 overexpression, and triple-negative patients had a median overall sur-vival of 36 months (4 months to 132 months), 32 months (7 months to 122 months), 29 months (1 month to 85 months), and 24 months (1 month to 98 months), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that lymph node metastases, clinical stage, molecular type, visceral disease, first multiple metastatic sites, and shorter metastasis-free interval were significantly associated with poor outcomes. In multivar-iate analysis, lymph node metastases, clinical stage, molecular type, visceral metastasis, and the number of first metastatic sites were significant predictors of patient survival. Conclusion:Lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, triple-negative breast cancer, and visceral metastasis were used as independent poor prognostic indicators for survival in patients. Results of this study may assist physicians in evaluating the survival potential and determining the appropriate therapeutic strategy for MBC patients.
