Objective To explore the common problems that facing the nursing trainees and seek the way to solving them. Methods The established Internet forum for nursing eases which was divided into six areas,such as clinical decision,ethical problems,nursing skills, the relationship between teachers and students,the relationship between nurses and patients,vocational prevention;77 nursing stuedents who were from three junior colleges of Jiangxi province participated in this study voluntarily.Nursing cases that happened during practical period were sent to the forum by volunteers and were discussed by nursing students and tutors. Results The cases sent by the nursing students were listed as the following order:relationship between teachers and students, relationship between nurses and patients, vocational prevention, clinical decision, ethical problem, and nursing skills. Conclusions During practical period, the main problems which the nursing students focused on stemod from the relationship between teachers and students, the relationship between nurses and patients and vocational prevention.

Objective To explore the difference in early symptoms between 2-3 years old autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children and healthy children through video analysis,in order to provide evidence for the identification and screening of ASD children.Methods The study involved 25 cases of ASD children who were admitted to Children Development and Behavior Center,the Third Affiliated Hospital,Sun Y at-Sen University,and confirmed with diagnosis standards of Diagnosis and Statistical Manual of Medical Disorder 5th edition (DSM-5) and 21 healthy children recruited in community.Three-minute videos of children in standard procedure were collected.Mter that,all the videos were scored on 5 items by 2 professional evaluators,unaware of diagnostic status.Comparison analysis of video scores between ASD and the healthy controls was made,and the sensitivity and specificity of video analysis were evaluated.Results Response to roll-call score was higher in ASD children [2 (2) scores] than that of the healthy children [0 (0) scores],response to audible object score was higher in ASD children [0(1) scores] than that of the healthy children [0(0) scores],social smiling score was higher in ASD children [1 (1) scores] than that of the healthy children [0 (1) scores],and total score was higher in ASD children [4 (2) scores] than that of the healthy children [2 (0) scores],and the differences were statistically significant (Z =2.272,P =0.000;Z =0.976,P =0.010;Z =1.763,P =0.001;Z =2.355,P =0.000).But,no difference was found in speech and finger pointing (all P > 0.05).The consistency between three-minute video analysis and standard diagnosis was 0.652 (P =0.000),with 80.0% of sensitivity and 85.7% of specificity.Conclusions The ASD children perform worse than the healthy children in response to roll-call,response to audible object and social smiling.Three-minute standard video analysis can help to detect the early symptoms of ASD children.This result also demonstrates the potential of video-based analysis used as a ASD screening instrument in 2-3 years old children.

Objective:To study the qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of Paeoniae radix Rubra in Fufang Fuqing lotion. Methods:TLC was used to identify Paeoniae radix Rubra. The content of paeoniflorinl was determined by HPLC. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0. 01% phosphonic acid (13 ∶87), and the detection wavelength was 230 nm,the flow rate was 1. 0ml·min-1, the column temperature was 40℃,and the sample size was 10μl. Results:The results of TLC showed that the relevant spots were clear without any interference from the negative sample. The calibration curve of paeoniflorinl was linear within the range of 0. 070-4. 500 μg (r=1. 000 0). The average recovery was 98. 36% with RSD of 2. 73%(n=6). Conclusion:The methods are accurate and quick in the qualitative identification and quantitative assay of the preparation, which can be used for the quality control of Fufang Fuqing lo-tion.

Objective:
To compare the effects of Cox proportional hazard regression model (Cox model) and extreme gradient boosting model ( XGBoost model ) on the prediction of the mortality of acute paraquat poisoning (APP).
Methods:
The APP cases admitted to Qingdao Eighth People's Hospital and Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 1st of 2018 to December 1st of 2020 was recruited and divided into a training group and a verification group by a random number table. The Cox model and XGBoost model were established to select the predictors for APP mortality. Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive power of the two models, and the calibration was evaluated using Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
Results:
Totally 150 APP cases were recruited. There were 75 cases each in the training group and in the verification group, with 52 and 55 cases died respectively, accounting for 69.33% and 73.33%. The Cox model showed that paraquat intake, the time from taking poison to seeing a doctor, the time for the first perfusion, the time for the first vomiting, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, white blood cell, lactic acid, creatine kinase isoenzymes, glucose, serum calcium and serum potassium were the predictors of APP mortality ( all P<0.05 ). The XGboost model showed that the predictive power of the factors in a descending order were the time from taking poison to seeing a doctor, the time for the first vomiting, the time for the first perfusion, lactic acid, white blood cell, paraquat intake, serum creatinine, serum potassium, serum calcium, creatine kinase isoenzymes, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen and alanine aminotransferase. The area under curve ( AUC ) of the XGBoost model for predicting was 0.972, which was greater than 0.921 of the Cox model ( P<0.05 ). The predicted results of the Cox model and XGBoost model were consistent with the actual situation ( P>0.05 ).
Conclusion
The Cox model and XGBoost model are consistent in predicting the mortality of APP, but the latter is better.
