Objective To observe the incidence and the rate of embolism in patients undergoing hysteroscopy procedures by using the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), as well as the changes of respiratoric and haemodynamic variables. Methods Fourty ASA Ⅰ~Ⅱ patients undergoing hysteroscopy procedures under general anesthesia received intraoperative TEE monitoring. The systolic pulmonary artery pressure, the incidence of the venous gas embolism (VGE) and the eegmental wall motion abnormality (SWMAs) were observed. Results In the 40 patients, 38 patients received intravenous anesthesia hysteroscopic surgery, with the intraoperative TEE to monitor the intracardiac VGE. The degree of gas embolism was related with the perfusion and the usage of monopolar or bipolar diathermia (P<0.05). The systolic pulmonary artery pressure promoted and SWMAs were also observed. Conclusions The continue TEE monitor during hysteroscopy could detect the intracardiac gas embolism in time , contributing to early diagnosis and avoiding the occurrence of malignant arrhythmias or myocardial ischemic events.

Objective To discuss the correlation between MSCT morphological index of emphysema and pulmonary function test (PFT) indexes. Methods We randomly selected 33 cases with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),and conducted CT and PFT in a week. The whole lung was scanned by MSCT at the end of deep aspiration,and the post-processing workstation was used for quantitative determination of a total of 12 morphological indexes,including the density of lung, pulmonary diameter line,lung volume,and etc,then their correlation with lung function index was analyzed.Results FEV1.0%had correlation with upper right lung density ( =0.391, =0.391), lower right lung density ( =0.465, =0.038),the mean lung density ( =0.576,=0.576), and total lung capacity (=0.471, =0.471),upper right lung volume ( =0.413, =0.049) . FEV1.0/FVC had correlation with left lower lung density ( =0.392, =0.024), the mean lung density ( =0.703, = 0.000), total lung transverse diameter ( = 0.521, = 0.521), upper right lung maximum transverse diameter ( =0.627, =0.627), and total lung capacity ( =0.549, =0.549) correlation. FVC had correlation with upper right lung maximum transverse diameter ( = 0.378, = 0.378), characterized by maximum transverse diameter (=0.349, =0.037) . TLC had correlation with mean lung density (=0.523,=0.523), upper right lung maximum transverse diameter ( =0.454, =0.454), and total lung capacity (= 0.001), the right lung volume ( = 0.492, = 0.492) . Conclusion MSCT lung morphology quantitative indicators have good clinical application value in the diagnosis and assessment of emphysema patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the negative co-inhibitor programmed death-1 ( PD-1 ) and the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis ( MG), by detecting the expression of PD-1 and programmed death ligand-1 ( PD-L1 ) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and soluble PD-1 (sPD-1) in plasma from myasthenia gravis patients. MethodsPeripheral blood samples were collected from 45 MG patients and 33 healthy persons without prednisone or other immunodepressant treatment during the half year ahead of withdrawal.The expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 on PBMCs were detected using immuno-fluorescence labeling and flow cytometry, and the concentrations of sPD-1 in plasma were measured using an ELISA kit. Results(1) The proportion of CD4+ PD-1 + T cells, as well as CD14+ PD-L1 +monocytes of the MG group was higher than that of the control group. There were no significant differences in the proportion of CD4+ PD-1 + T cells or CD14+ PD-L1 + monocytes in the MG sub-groups between different genders or MG types. While the proportion of CD4+ PD-1 + T cells of the late-onset MG (age ≥40) group was higher than that of the early-onset MG group (age <40). And it was higher in the MG patients with thymoma or thymus hyperplasia than that from the MG patients with normal thymus. The proportion of CD14+ PD-L1 +monocytes from the MG patients with thymoma or thymus hyperplasia group decreased obviously compared with that of the patients with normal thymus group; but no difference could be found between the late-onset group and early-onset group. (2)The concentration of sPD-1 in the plasma from the group of MG patients was(6. 92 ±0. 72) ng/ml,which was higher than that of the healthy control group ( (3.28 ±0. 42) ng/ml),even more, it was significantly higher in the early-onset MG group than that of the late-onset MG group,there was a negative correlation( r =-0. 526, P =0. 000) between the age of onset and the concentration of sPD-1. ConclusionsThe increased expressions of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells and PD-L1 on CD14+ monocytes in MG patients suggested the involvement of the couple of molecules in the pathogenesis of MG.Higher concentration of soluble PD-1 in the plasma of patients with MG suggested that it might disturb the ligation of PD-1 and PD-L1 on T cells and antigen presenting cells, which might result in the abnormal transportation of the negative modulating signal, and accelerate the pathological progress of MG.

Objective To compare the awareness, training and assessment of teaching competence between hospital and community general practice (GP) trainers. Methods A questionnaire survey on teaching competence was conducted among 161 hospital GP trainers and 110 community GP trainers in 2016 April. Results There were 96 male and 175 female participants with an average age of (30.4 ± 8.0) years. On the the awareness of teaching competence,the propotion of"very important"of"creating a quality teaching environment for students","knowing how to teach students","ability to teach students medical knowledge and skills", " feedback ability ", "showing the virtue of being a teacher" in hospital and community trainers were 47.8%(77/161) and 40.0%(44/110), 66.5%(107/161) and 59.1%(65/110), 71.5%(115/161) and 62.8%(69/110), 54.7%(88/161) and 52.7%(58/110), 65.2%(105/161) and 60.9 (67/110), respectively;there were no significant differences of all importance ratings between the two groups (all P>0.05). Hospital trainers had higher proportions of "having received teaching method training" [70.2%(113/161)vs. 50.0%(55/110),χ2=11.302,P=0.001] and"having received teaching training before practice teaching for the first time" [(45.3%(73/161)vs. 21.8%(24/110),χ2=15.735,P<0.001] than those of community trainers. The proportion of "having received teaching comptence evaluation" was higher in hospital trainers than that in community trainers [(60.9%(98/161)vs. 43.6%(48/110),χ2=7.810,P=0.004], but there were no significant difference in teaching comptence evaluation methods between two types of trainers (P>0.01). Conclusion The awareness of teaching competence is similar between hospital and community GP trainers, but the community trainers are lack of teaching competence training, and their teaching competence evaluation methods need to be improved.
