Objective To explore the effect of periodic reporting system applied in clini-cal teaching.Method 62 nursing students of grade 2006 and 2007 practising in our hospital were selected and each group leaders reported their practical information to the teaching regula-tor every other month.Result If nursing students rehearsed the operational procedures and the items and communication skills that the teachers asked them to pay attention to,nursing stu-dents would be more self-confident in practice. Meanwhile,about 70% teachers didn’t introduce the working environment or clinical nursing knowledge to nursing students.Instead,they made them run errands.Conclusion Periodic reporting system was conducive to nursing students’suc-cessful completion of the internship program,and conducive to teaching regulators to understand nursing students’practical demands and the overall level of clinical teaching,which increased the overall level of clinical teaching and nursing students’satisfaction of teaching.

Citing the IT development of the General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region at Fuzhou as an example, the authors point out that emphasizing the role of the people and doing a good job of talent planning and cultivation is the key to the IT development of a hospital. They argue that a hospital must have leaders and managers that stress the IT development of the hospital; it must have a team of people with high IT expertise; it must have a large number of staff very familiar with the operation of the computer; and it must be able to integrate its human resources and give play to the overall efficiency.

Objective To analyze the DSA manifestations of arteriovenous fistulae in hepatic cancer and to discuss the appropriate method for obstructing the fistulae in order to improve the therapeutic results for hepatic cancer associated with arteriovenous fistulae. Methods The imaging findings in 183 patients of hepatic cancer with urteriovenous fistulae, which were. selected from 637 patients with liver cancer, were retrospectively analyzed. For cases with mild arteriovenous fistulae (n = 89) the tumor-feeding arteries were embolized after iodized oil embolization procedure, while for cases with moderate and severe aneriovenous fistulae (n = 94) the abnormal shunts were obstructed before performing chemoembolization of the tumor in order to ensure that the effective infusion of the drug into the lesion and the sufficient deposit of iodized oil in the tumor could be obtained. Results The tumor-feeding arteries were successfully embolized in all 89 patients with mild arteriovenous fistulae. Of 94 cases with moderate and severe arteriovenous fistulae,excellent deposit of iodized oil was seen in 64 (68.1%), incomplete embolization in 13 (14.83%), poor oil deposit due to over-embolization in 11 (11.7%) and failure to block the fistulae as the fistulae were too large or too diffuse in 6 (6.4%). No serious complications occurred. Conclusion The arteriovenous fistulae accompanied with hepatic cancer can be effectively obstructed in most patients, with resultant clinical improvement of the patients' condition. This therapeutic technique is safe and reliable.

This paper is aimed to assess the effects of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on clinical outcomes in cardiac surgery. Trials were identified by computer searches of the Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library (Issue 10, 2012), from January 1980 to October 2012. References in identified trials and review articles were checked and experts contacted to identify any additional trials. The homogeneous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were analyzed with RevMan 5.1 software. Five trials involving a total of 1,203 patients were identified. The results of meta-analyses showed that restrictive transfusion strategies reduced the risk of receiving a RBC transfusion (MD = - 1.46, 95% CI -1.18(-) -1.1) and the volume of RBCs transfusion (RR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.53-0.89). No significant difference was noted between the two strategies in terms of mortality, adverse events and hospital or intensive care length of stay. Based on the results mentioned above, one can draw a conclusion that restrictive transfusion strategies reduced the risk of receiving RBC transfusion and the volume of RBCs transfused. Restrictive transfusion strategies did not appear to impact on the rate of adverse events and hospital or intensive care length of stay, compared to liberal transfusion strategies.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of endoscopic sinus surgery combined with mitomycin in nasal inverted papilloma (NIP). MethodThe clinical data of 75 patients with NIP was retrospectively analyzed and divided into treatment group (endoscopic sinus surgery combined with mitomycin treatment, 38 cases) and control group (endoscopic sinus surgery treatment, 37 cases) by random digits table. Results There was no complication in treatment group, the symptoms disappeared after treatment, good recovery and surgery epithelization was found after follow-up, 1 case of grade Ⅲ recurred at 3 months after treatment and followed up for 5 years without recurrence. In control group, 37 cases of conventional dressing endoscopic treatment, recurrence within 1 year in 3 cases, 4 cases of recurrence in the second year, 5 cases of reoperation cured, 2 cases of malignant transformation. The efficacy was no statistically significant between two groups( X2 =9.86,P ＜ 0.05). ConclusionEndoscopic sinus surgery combined with mitomycin in treatment of NIP, intraoperative and postoperative adjuvant therapy given to the local mitomycin, inhibit their growth and development, can inhibit the NIP recurrence and improve the cure rate.

Objective To observe the effects of treadmill training on the recovery of neurological function and the expression of HSP70 and C-MYC in the brains of rats with focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Forty-two male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham group ( n =6), a model group (n =18) and a treadmill exercise group (n=18). Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in the model group and exercise group using a modified version of Longa's method. The rats in the treadmill exercise group were given treadmill training 6 d per week for 2 weeks after 24 h of MCAO. By contrast, the rats in the sham group and the model group were reared in standard cages. Before the rats were sacrificed at the 3rd, 7th and 14th d after MCAO, their neurological functions were tested using modified neurological severity scores ( mNSS) , and the mRNA and protein levels of HSP70 and C-MYC were detected using a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) , immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results Neurological function in the exercise group at the 7th and 14th days after MCAO had improved significantly compared with the control and model groups.The mRNA and protein levels of HSP70 and C-MYC were significantly upregulated at the 7th and 14th days. Conclusions Treadmill training can improve neurological function by upregulating the expression of HSP70 and C-MYC in the ischemic brain after MCAO.
