Objective To discuss the effect of competency based education practice teaching model on vocational nursing students with ability training.Methods Totally 96 vocational nursing students were divided into control group from July 2014 to May 2015,receiving routine mentoring teaching mode and totally 99 vocational nursing students were divided into learning group from July 2015 to May 2016,receiving competency based education practice teaching model.Theoretical examination and clinical operation skill test as well as self evaluation of caring ability and transitional nursing ability were conducted to both groups after the course to compare the test scores and the change of their caring ability and transitional nursing ability.SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis,and independent samples t test was used between the two groups.Results The theoretical scores of the nursing students in the experimental group ([93.70 ± 4.27) vs.(88.00 ± 4.83)] and skill test [[95.70 ± 2.49] vs.(91.40 ± 2.87)] were higher than those of the control group;caring ability score [(189.3 ± 13.5) vs.(179.4 ± 10.4)],with the average score of cognitive dimension (51.6 ± 9.8) vs.(50.2 ± 10.3)],the dimension of courage (70.2 ± 6.5) [vs.(65.7 ± 8.4)],average patient dimension (63.4 ± 4.8) vs.5.4)];transitional nursing ability score [(124.95 ± 24.06) vs.(118.18 ± 20.41)],the dimension of knowledge sharing [(38.43 ± 8.22) vs.(36.08 ± 7.23)],average score of attitude dimension [(54.08 ± 10.66)vs.(51.02 ± 9.16)],average score of behavior dimension [(32.43 ± 6.25) vs.(32.43 ± 6.25)],which were all increased compared with the control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion Competency based education practice teaching mode achieves good teaching effect and it is worth recommending in clinical teaching.

Objective To investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in the ABCC4(rs7320375,rs7329490,rs7986087),FCGR2A(rs1801274)and BLK(rs2254546)region could be susceptibility locus for Kawasaki disease(KD)in children from southern China.Methods This study was performed as a case-control study.The samples,92 individuals with KD and 194 healthy controls from southern China,were collected at Guangzhou Women and Childrens′Medical Center from October,2013 to November,2015,and the SNPs were genotyped by using the Sequenom MassArray system.The genotype distribution and allele frequency of the SNPs were analyzed using chi-square test and Fisher′s exact test.Results The genotype distribution of FCGR2A(rs1801274)in patients with KD were as follows: GG 4.3%(4/92),AG 33.7%(31/92),AA 62%(57/92),correspondingly in healthy controls were GG 48.5%(94/194),AG 41.2%(80/194),AA 10.3%(20/194)respectively,and a significant difference was found between KD patients and controls(x2=98.17,P=0.000).A allele frequency of FCGR2A(rs1801274)in KD patients(78.8%,145/184)was higher than that in controls(30.9%,x2=0.120,P=0.000).The genotype distribution of BLK(rs2254546)in patients with KD were as follows: GG 67.4%(62/92),AG 28.3%(26/92),AA 4.3%(4/92),correspondingly in healthy controls were GG 52.1%(101/194),AG 43.8%(85/194),AA 4.1%(8/194)respectively,significant differences were found between KD patients and controls(x2=6.47,P=0.039).G allele frequency of BLK(rs2254546)in KD patients(81.5%,150/184)was higher than that in controls(74.0%,287/388,x2=1.553,P=0.047).Conclusions For the children in southern China,FCGR2A SNPs(rs1801274)may be associated with the susceptibility to KD,and the A allele may increase the risk of KD.BLK SNPs(rs2254546)is also found to be associated with the susceptibility to KD,and the G allele may increase the risk of KD.

Objective To investigate the dynamics of white blood cell count (WBC),prealbumin(PA),high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) complicated with or without encephalitis and in vitro inhibitory effects of artesunate on VEGF secretion of mononuclear cells from HFMD patients.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy control group,HFMD group and HFMD combined with encephalitis group were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and treated with different concentrations of artesunate (25,50,100 mg/L).The expression of VEGF in the supernatant was examined by ELISA double antibody sandwich method.The levels of WBC,PA and hs-CRP in the three groups were also detected.Multiple samples were compared by one-way analysis of variance.Multiple comparison was performed by Dunnett T3 test.Correlation of two variables was analyzed by Spearman correlation test.Results There were significant differences in the levels of WBC,hs-CRP,PA and VEGF between the HFMD combined with or without encephalitis group and health control group (F=172.69,366.02,166.32 and 5 941.89,respectively,all P<0.01).There were significant differences in the levels of VEGF secreted by mononuclear cells treated with three different concentrations of artesunate between the HFMD combined with or without encephalitis groups and health control group (F =194.265 and 4 750.69,respectively,both P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that the VEGF level secretion by mononuclear cells from HFMD patients with or without encephalitis were both negatively correlated with different concentrations of artesunate (r=-0.903 and-0.969,both P<0.01).Conclusions Compared with HFMD without encephalitis,the secretion of VEGF by mononuclear cells,WBC and hs-CRP levels in HFMD complicated with encephalitis group all increase and PA decrease significantly.Artesunate can inhibit the secretion of VEGF by mononuclear cells of patients with hand-foot-and-mouth disease in a dosedependent manner in vitro.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (hUCMSCs-ex) injection on cardiac function and myocardial fibrosis in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) rats induced by Adriamycin(ADR).Methods:One hundred male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group (20 rats) and the DCM group (80 rats). The rats in DCM group were treated with ADR by intravenous injection to induce DCM.DCM rats were randomly divided equally into DCM group, low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose group which were received intravenous injection 1 mL/kg Dulbecco′s modified eagle medium(DMEM), 20 μg/kg, 100 μg/kg and 250 μg/kg exosomes.After modeling, 10 rats in normal group and 30 rats in DCM group were randomly selected to receive echocardiography to evaluate the cardiac function.After exosomes treatment, 10 rats were randomly selected form each group for echocardiography to evaluate the cardiac function.The morphological changes in myocardial cells were observed by using Masson staining in each group; Western blot detection between groups of rats was used to analyze the expression of myocardial collagen Ⅰ type(COLⅠ), Smad2 and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA).Results:Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS)in the DCM group [(64.30±3.51)% and (38.70±2.85)%] were significantly lower than those of the normal group [(78.80±1.52)% and (50.60±1.50)%], and the differences were statistically significant ( t=20.518, 22.311, all P<0.01). The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) [(4.62±0.13) mm and (3.40±0.12) mm] of the DCM group were significantly higher than those of the normal group[(3.29±0.24) mm and (3.16±0.33) mm], and the differences were statistically significant( t=2.854, 3.800, all P<0.01). After exosomes treatment, LVEF[(84.3±2.6)% and (83.4±3.2)%] in the medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly higher than that in the DCM group [(79.2±2.4)%], and the diffe-rences were statistically significant(all P<0.01). Masson staining found that collagen fibers were less in exosomes treating group than those in the DCM group; Western blot test showed that high-dose exosomes can reduce the expression of α-SMA and Smad2, high-dose and low-dose exosomes can both significantly reduce the expression of COLⅠ. Conclusions:It suggests that exosomes intravenous injection from hUCMSCs-ex can significantly improve myocardial fibrosis in DCM rats induced by ADR and cardiac function.
