Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with L isteria septicemia for better clinical diagnosis and management of the disease .Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 13 patients with confirmed diagnosis of Listeria septicemia from July 2009 to November 2013 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University .The clinical features ,laboratory tests ,treatments and clinical outcomes were reviewed and analyzed . Results The vast majority of the 13 patients were immunocompromised or with critical organ dysfunction . The in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing indicated that penicillin ,ampicillin and levofloxacin were the most active agents against Listeria ,followed by imipenem ,erythromycin , ciprofloxacin and tetracycline .Only 33 .3% of the 13 Listeria isolates were sensitive to oxacillin .Eight patients were cured ,2 improved ,2 died after therapy .The remaining one patient gave up therapy .Conclusions The incidence of Listeria septicemia was associated with advanced age and presence of underlying diseases .Early etiology diagnosis and appropriate antibacterial therapy can improve the outcome of such patients .Actively treating underlying diseases helps reduce the mortality rate .

Objective To explore the effect of problem-based 1earning (PBL) combined with PICO model in clinical nursing internship teaching.Methods A retrospective case-control study was adopted,133 undergraduate nursing students in grade 2010 were selected as theexperimental group,and 128 undergraduate nursing students in grade 2009 were selected as the control group.The students in the experimental group received a teaching method which combined PBL with PICO model,while the students in the control group received traditional teaching methods.The two groups were evaluated by Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and questionnaire survey.Results The OSCE grade and evaluation of teaching method in the experimental group students were higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions PBL combined with PICO model teaching methods are not only beneficial to cultivate and improve the clinical nursing competency and comprehensive qualities of the nursing students,but also let the students gradually learn and permeate the ideas of any decision made by clinician should be based on the scientific research results,which from the main thought of the evidence-based practice.It can lay a good foundation for going to work in the future,and is also worthy of being popularized and applied in clinical internship teaching of undergraduate nursing students.

Objective To explore the relationship between coagulation/anticoagulation imbalance and oxidative stress in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during acute exacerbation (AECOPD)before and after treatment.Methods Plasma tissue factor(TF)and tissue factor pathway inhibitor(TFPl)activity was detected by chromogenic assay in 28 AECOPD patients before and after treatment as well as in 30 healthy controls.The total antioxidative capacity(TAC),malondialdehyde (MDA)and gtutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)in plasma were measured in both groups.Results The levels of plasma TF and TFPI,and their ratio(TF/TFPI)in AECOPD patients before treatment were significantly higher than those after treatment(all P<0.0 1),the latter were still higher than those in the healthy persons(all P<0.01).The levels of the TAC and GSH-PX in plasma in AECOPD patients before treatment were significantly lower than those after treatment(all P<0.01),the latter were still lower than those in the healthy persons(all P<0.01).The plasma MDA in AECOPD patients before treatment was significantly higher than that after treatment(P<0.0 1),which was still higher than that in the healthy persons(P<0.05).There were negative correlations between TF/TFPI ratio and TAC(r=-0.518.P<0.01),GSH-PX(r=-0.454,P<0.05),PaO2(r=-0.511,P<0.01)respectively and a positive correlation between TF/TFPI ratio and the percentage of neutrophils(r=0.379,P<0.05)in AECOPD patients before treatment.There still were negative correlations between TF/TFPI ratio and TAC (r=-0.420,P<0.05),FEV1% to predicted(r=-0.480,P<0.05)respectively,and a positive correlation between TF/TFPI ratio and MDA(r=0.45 1,P<0.05)in AECOPD patients after treatment.Conclusions There existed coagulation/anticoagulation imbalance and oxidation/antioxidation imbalance before and after treatment in AECOPD patients and their relationship was explored.

Objective To investigate the application value of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) for gastric diseases in physical examination of asymptomatic population.Methods Data of 211 asymptomatic individuals who received MCE examinations from July 2015 to December 2016 in Changhai Hospital were collected and rctrospectively analyzed.The tolerance and safety of MCE were studied by analyzing the detection rate for the focal lesions and the rate of endoscopy transfer.Results Among 211 patients,the detection rate of the gastric focal lesions was 9.5% (20/211).The detection rate in male was higher than that in female (P<0.05).All patients completed MCE examination successfully and no adverse event was reported.Conclusion MCE,a non-invasive endoscopic modality,is safe and better tolerated than conventional endoscopy,and can be used as a promising approach to screening the gastric diseases in asymptomatic population due to high detection rate of these diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the performance, efficacy and safety of a novel portable endoscopy system for upper gastrointestinal examination.Methods:A multicentered, open-label, randomized, non-inferiority controlled study was conducted in 3 clinical research centers from June 2019 to June 2020, and a total of 90 outpatients admitted to Department of Gastroenterology were randomly assigned to the trial group ( n=44) undergoing portable endoscopy and the control group ( n=46) undergoing Olympus endoscopy. The examination success rate, image quality, performance, overall operation satisfaction rate, biopsy success rate and adverse events of the two groups were compared. Results:The examination success rates of the trial group and the control group were 97.73% (43/44) and 100.00% (46/46) respectively with a difference of -2.27% (95% CI: -6.68%-2.13%), higher than the set non-inferiority margin of -10%. Rates of good and excellent image quality were 100% in both groups, and the difference of 0 was higher than the set non-inferiority margin of -10%. There was no significant difference in the rate of good and excellent performance of the operating system between the two groups [97.67% (42/43) VS 100.00% (46/46), P=0.483]. There was significant difference in the overall satisfactory rate of the operation between the two groups [86.05% (37/43) VS 100.00% (46/46), P=0.011]. A total of 9 cases underwent endoscopic biopsy, including 5 cases in the trial group and 4 cases in the control group. The biopsy channels in both groups were smooth and the biopsy were successfully completed. There was no significant difference in adverse event rate between the two groups [25.00% (11/44) VS 10.87%(5/46), χ2=3.07, P=0.080]. All adverse events disappeared in 48 hours, and no severe adverse events or device defect events occurred. Conclusion:The novel portable endoscopic system is comparable to Olympus endoscopic system in terms of the operating performance, the image quality and safety. Therefore, this system is safe and effective for upper gastrointestinal examination.

Objective To establish a quality control system of volatile oil of Chunyang Zhengqi capsules. Methods The chromatogram of volatile oil was established by GC method, and the contents of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol were determined. Results In 15 batches of samples, 19 common peaks were identified, and 9 characteristic peaks were selected to establish the characteristic spectrum. The linear ranges of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol were 0.522 - 1.565 mg/ml (r=0.9994) and 3.038 - 9.115 mg/ml (r=0.9997), respectively. The average recoveries were 97.1% and 97.3%, with RSD of 1.5% and 1.4%, respectively. Conclusion The established GC characteristic map and content determination method could control the quality of essential oil in Chunyang Zhengqi capsules qualitatively and quantitatively. The method is accurate and feasible which could be used as the quality control method of essential oil in Chunyang Zhengqi capsules.
