Objective:To investigate the expression of solute carrier family 35 member E1 (SLC35E1) and SLC35E2B in skin lesions of patients with Mycobacterium infections. Methods:Paraffin-embedded skin tissues of 31 patients confirmedly diagnosed with Mycobacterium infections were collected from Dermatology Hospital of Southern Medical University from 2014 to 2018, including 10 cases of multibacillary leprosy, 9 of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, 7 of cutaneous tuberculosis, and 5 of erythema induratum. Meanwhile, paraffin-embedded skin tissues of 10 healthy individuals were collected, and served as normal control group. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B in the lesional and normal control skin specimens, and immunofluorescence staining to observe the co-expression of CD68 and S100 with SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B in the skin lesions. Results:Neither SLC35E1 nor SLC35E2B was expressed in the normal control group, but high expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B was observed in the dermis of skin lesions from the patients with leprosy, nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, cutaneous tuberculosis or erythema induratum. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B (expressed as average optical density) was significantly higher in the multibacillary leprosy group (0.143 ± 0.010, 0.169 ± 0.004, respectively) , nontuberculous mycobacterial infection group (0.278 ± 0.015, 0.229 ± 0.088, respectively) , cutaneous tuberculosis group (0.171 ± 0.010, 0.103 ± 0.016, respectively) and erythema induratum group (0.200 ± 0.015, 0.118 ± 0.021, respectively) than in the normal control group (both 0, all P < 0.05) . Immunofluorescence staining showed co-expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B with CD68 in skin lesions of the patients with leprosy, nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, cutaneous tuberculosis. Conclusion:Both SLC35E1 and SLCE2B were markedly highly expressed in skin lesions of patients with Mycobacterium infections.

Objective To investigate the effects of "two-classroom" teaching mode of basic life support (BLS) training on medical staffs. Methods One hundred and ninety-nine medical staffs trained in BLS curriculum education from May to August 2018 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into two groups according to random number table: "two-classroom" teaching mode group (102) and traditional teaching mode group (97). The medical staffs in the traditional teaching mode group were trained by the traditional mode, while those in the"two-classroom" teaching mode group were trained by the "two-classroom" teaching mode, including the first and second classes; the first class is in-class teaching, using the Chinese version of the original American Heart Association (AHA) textbook, whose contents included basic life support operation video observation, practical operation, scene simulation and other teaching modes to carry out classroom teaching, and the second class was mainly in the extracurricular scene simulation. After the training, the differences in teaching effects regarding theoretical knowledge test scores and operational skills test scores and the degrees of satisfaction between the two groups were compared. Results The theoretical and operational scores of the "two-classroom" teaching mode group were significantly higher than those of the traditional teaching mode group (theoretical scores: 92.10±2.40 vs. 83.4±2.5, operational scores: 91.10±2.20 vs. 82.23±2.13, both P < 0.05). The degree of satisfaction with the BLS training (including 5 parts: controllable learning time, good interaction, cooperative communication, autonomous learning ability, achieving teaching goals) in the medical staffs in the "two-classroom" teaching mode group were higher than those in the traditional teaching mode group (controllable learning time: 98.04±6.35 vs. 83.51±5.27, good interaction: 97.06±6.12 vs. 83.51±5.33, cooperative communication: 96.08±6.07 vs. 73.20±4.96, autonomous learning ability: 96.08±6.15 vs. 73.20±4.28 and achieving teaching goals: 98.04±6.27 vs. 79.38±4.62, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The "two-classroom" teaching mode is a scientific, practical, simple and convenient teaching method, which can improve the theoretical and operational performance grades of trainees, and the medical staffs are well satisfied with the "two-classroom" teaching mode of BLS.
