Objective:The application of a combined ultrasound and pneumatic lithotripter for cholelithiasis was investigated.Methods:A total of 59 cases of cholelithiasis diagnosed by ultrasonography and CT were included in the study.All the patients had surgical treatment from January 2013 to December 2015,in which 30 patients were treated with a combined ultrasound and pneumatic lithotripter protocol (EMS group),and 29 patients were treated with traditional choledochoscope protocol(control group).All the patients were followed up for 3 months postoperation.The outcomes of patients in EMS group and control group were compared.Results:The postoperative stone free rate after the first operation is higher in EMS group than in control group(P＜0.05).The operation time and total lengths of hospital stay were shorter in EMS group than in control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in intraoperative hematobilia rate,intraoperative bile duct injury rate,postoperative biliary tract infection rate,hepatic biochemical index and mortality between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The combined ultrasound and pneumatic lithotripter is useful for treatment of cholelithiasis.

As a high-level, applied, and specialized nursing professional, master of nursing specialist (MNS) postgraduates place great emphasis on the importance of clinical practice. Clinical practice helps to improve their clinical skills, identify clinical problems, and cultivate clinical research thinking. However, due to the late start of MNS education in China, there are still many problems in its clinical practice training, such as incomplete training programs, weak academic resources, and unclear self positioning. Based on this, this article reviews the current situation and influencing factors of clinical practice training for MNS postgraduates, and puts forward corresponding suggestions, in order to provide reference and guidance for optimizing the MNS postgraduate training program in China.
