Objective To compare scene simulation teaching method with traditional methods on training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for the practice students. Methods A convenience sample of 62 nursing students in the emergency department of our hospital in 2014 were recruited as the observation group,and 75 practice students in 2013 were recruited as the control group. The observation group used the scene simulation teaching method for students and the control group used the traditional methods. The students′theoretical knowledge, operation skill of CPR and total score of core capability were compared between two groups. Results The theoretical knowledge, operation skill of CPR and total score of core capability in the observation group were (85.23±6.36), (86.90±4.85), (217.98±6.06), significantly higher than those of the control group, which were (75.36±7.77), (82.38±8.84), (209.33±8.91), t= 8.02, 3.60 and 6.50, P<0.01. Conclusions The scene simulation teaching method is an effective form of emergency department training in CPR, help to improve students practice ability and the ability of emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Background: Recent studies have reported that costoclavicular blocks (CCBs) can consistently block almost all branches of the brachial plexus while sparing the phrenic nerve and provide effective analgesia after shoulder surgery. We aimed to compare the efficacy of the CCB with that of the interscalene block (ISB) as the sole blocking technique for shoulder surgery. Methods: A total of 212 patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery were randomized to receive an ISB or CCB based on a non-inferiority design. All patients received titration sedation with propofol under monitored anesthesia during surgery. The primary outcomes were the proportion of patients with complete motor blockade of the suprascapular nerve (SSN) and incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP). The secondary outcomes included block-related variables, complications, and postoperative pain scores. Results: The proportion of patients with complete motor blockade of the SSN at 20 min between the CCB and ISB groups (53% vs. 66%) exceeded the predefined non-inferiority margin of −5%, but was comparable at 30 min (87% vs. 91%). The CCB resulted in a significantly lower incidence of HDP (7.55% vs. 92.45%), Horner’s syndrome (0% vs. 18.87%), and dyspnea (0% vs. 10.38%) than the ISB. None of the patients experienced failed blocks or required conversion to general anesthesia. Pain scores were comparable between the groups. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided CCBs may be comparable to ISBs, with fewer unfavorable complications in patients with impaired lung function undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Recently, ferroptosis, an iron-dependent novel type of cell death, has been characterized as an excessive accumulation of lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species. Emerging studies demonstrate that ferroptosis not only plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of chronic diseases, but also functions differently in the different disease context. Notably, it is shown that activation of ferroptosis could potently inhibit tumor growth and increase sensitivity to chemotherapy and immunotherapy in various cancer settings. As a result, the development of more efficacious ferroptosis agonists remains the mainstay of ferroptosis-targeting strategy for cancer therapeutics. By contrast, in non-cancerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular & cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases, ferroptosis functions as a risk factor to promote these diseases progression through triggering or accelerating tissue injury. As a matter of fact, blocking ferroptosis has been demonstrated to effectively prevent ischemia-reperfusion heart disease in preclinical animal models. Therefore, it is a promising field to develope potent ferroptosis inhibitors for preventing and treating cardiovascular & cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. In this article, we summarize the most recent progress on ferroptosis in chronic diseases, and draw attention to the possible clinical impact of this recently emerged ferroptosis modalities.

Objective Secondary infection with pseudomonas aeruginosa( PA) in diabetic foot ulcer( DFU) was analyzed to investigate the related risk factor, antibiotic resistance, and prognoses of the infection. Methods Pathogen cultures were carried out in 966 DFU patients with their clinical data collected. All of the patients were followed-up for two years to observe the outcomes, including ulcer healing, amputation, recurrence of ulcers, non-fatal cardiovascular events, and death. The antibiotic susceptibility, risk factors and associated outcome of secondary PA infection were analyzed. Results Total incidence of PA infection was 13. 0％ in DFU patients, of which 38. 1％was secondary. The susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA to tobramycin, meropenem, eftazidime, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefepime were similar to those in primary infected PA. However, the susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA to piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin, imipenen, gentamicin, aztreonam, and amikacin decreased by 12％ to 22％ as compared with primary infected PA. The healing rate was much lower in patients with secondary PA infection compared with those with primary PA infection, and the accumulated healing rates at2yearswere44.44％ and70.4％ (P=0.01) respectively. Theriskofulcerhealingfailurewithintwoyears increased by 3 folds in patients with secondary PA infection. After adjusting for age, sex, Wagner grade, infection grade, and duration of DFU, plasma albumin level was an independent risk factor for secondary PA infection in patients with DFU(P=0. 001). Conclusions The antibiotics susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA were lower than those of primary infected PA. Secondary PA infection in DFU was less likely to be healed. Plasma albumin level was a risk factor for secondary PA infection.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of the present study was to assess the association between the polymorphisms of CD36 gene and acute coronary syndrome(ACS).

METHODSGenotypes of CD36 single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected under PCR-RFLP in 522 patients with ACS and 1 215 controls.

RESULTSFor people under Han and Uygur ethnicities, the distribution of genotypes and allele of rs1722505 was significantly different between ACS and the controls(all P < 0.05). For Han population, the frequency of A allele of rs17154181 was significantly lower in ACS group than that in the control group(P = 0.034). Results from logistic regression analysis showed that the AA+AG genotype of rs1722505 was significantly higher in ACS patients than that in controls both between the Hans and the Uygurs(OR = 1.436, 95%CI:1.047-1.970, P = 0.025;OR = 1.589, 95%CI:1.009-2.473, P = 0.046, respectively). For Han people,AA+AG genotype of rs17154181 was significantly lower in ACS patients than that in controls(OR = 0.667, 95% CI:0.494-0.900, P = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONData from the present study suggested that the CD36 gene might serve as a genetic marker of ACS in both Han and Uygur populations.
