1.Assess the nutritional status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by SGA
Tianjin Medical Journal 2015;(8):886-888
Objective To explore the subjective global assessment (SGA) to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods Patients with stable COPD (n=122) were included and divid?ed into three groups base on their SGA scores:SGA-A (n=21), SGA-B (n=57), SGA-C (n=44). Nutritional status of all pa?tients was assessed by SGA. Anthropometric measurement, biochemical test, pulmonary function test, COPD assessment test (CAT) and shuttle walking test (SWT) were studied between all three groups to search statistical significance and correlation with SGA. Results Body mass index(BMI), arm muscle circumference (AMC) and forced expiratory volume in the first sec?ond%of predicted (FEV1%Pred) were all lower in SGA-B and SGA-C than those in SGA-A(P<0.05),there were no statis?tical differences of these parameters between SGA-B and SGA-C. Triceps skin fold (TSF) was lower in SGA-C than that in SGA-B than that in SGA-A, while CAT score is the reverse order (P<0.05). The walking distance of incremental shuttle walking test (ISWI) and the endurance time of endurance shuttle walking test (ESWI) were lower in SGA-C than that in SGA-A (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)/forced vital ca?pacity(FVC), biochemical parameters between all three groups. SGA scores correlated positively with CAT and negatively with anthropometric parameters, FEV1%Pred and SWT (P<0.05). However no correlations was deduced between SGA scores with FEV1/FVC and biochemical parameters. Conclusion SGA scores correlated with anthropometric parameters, FEV1%Pred, CAT and SWT. SGA is an effective method to assess the nutritional status in patients with stable COPD.

China Pharmacy 2016;(6):763-764,765
OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Clotrimazole vaginal tablet in the treatment of pregnancy with vulvovaginal candidiasis. METHODS:106 pregnant patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis were randomly divided into observation group (56 cases) and control group (50 cases). Observation group was given one tablet Clotrimazole vaginal tablet,washed the genital area before treatment to keep clean and one Clotrimazole vaginal tablet was sent to intravaginal 5-6 cm,once every 2 day. Control group was given Lactobacillus vaginal capsule,once a day,washed the genital area before treatment and one Lactobacillus vaginal capsule was sent to intravaginal 5-6 cm. The treatment course for both groups was 8 d. No sexual activities during treatment and no other drugs. Clinical efficacy,clearance rate of candidiasis,pregnancy and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate and clearance rate of candidiasis in observation group were significantly higher than control group,carrier rate was significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). And there were no significant differences in the pregnancy and incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:Clotrimazole vaginal tablet shows significant efficacy in the treatment of pregnancy with vulvovaginal candidiasis and can clear candidiasis,with good safety.
3.The teaching practices of applying simulation techniques combined with PBL in the training before clinical practice
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2003;0(03):-
Objective Toanalyze and evaluate the value ofthe method ofmedical simulation technique combined with PBL pattern in the training before clinical practice. Methods 80 students were divided into two groups:the experimental group and the control group. The PBL method was used in the experimental group,while the control group was taught by traditional method. Results The students in experimental group had a significant higher score than those in control group. Conclu-sion It means that the method of medical simulation combined with PBL teaching is an effective leaning method and should be widely used in the training before clinical practice.

Objective To analysis the changes of serum adiponectin level in patients with breast cancer and its clinical signifi‐cance .Methods 35 cases of serum adiponectin levels in breast cancer patients using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay ,and 35 healthy serum adiponectin level in peripheral blood of women ,analysis of significance of changes of serum adiponectin levels in breast cancer patients .Results Average serum adiponectin level in patients with breast cancer group(6 .13 ± 1 .55)μg/mL ,health group average serum adiponectin levels (8 .72 ± 1 .86)μg/mL ,the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Postmenopausal women in breast cancer group and health group compared with premenopausal women ,the serum adiponectin levels were signifi‐cantly increased ,there was a statistically significant difference(P<0 .05) .Lymph node metastasis of breast cancer serum adiponec‐tin levels were significantly lower in patients without lymph node metastasis in patients with breast cancer ,the difference was statis‐tically significant(P<0 .05) .Serum adiponectin level in breast cancer patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly lower than breast cancer patients with stage Ⅰ ,there was a statistically significant difference(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Serum adiponectin levels as an important marker in the diagnosis of breast cancer ,serum adiponectin level and grade of the tumor ,lymph node metastases .

Aim To observe the protective effects and explore the possible mechanism of lycopene on hepatic injury induced by the combining use of isoniazid(INH) and rifampicin(RFP) in rats.Methods Chronic hepatic injury model was induced by INH and RFP.Low dosage,middle dosage and high dosage of lycopene(10,20,30 mg?kg-1 body weight) were given to protect liver injury.The serum level of AST and ALT,liver index,contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathion(GSH) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in liver were measured.Hepatic pathological changes were also observed after giving lycopene.Results Lycopene could reduce the liver index,the serum level of AST and ALT and the content of MDA,raise the liver GSH content and promote the activities of SOD in liver tissue in rats.Degeneration and necrosis of liver tissues were relieved.Conclusion Lycopene has protective effects on the hepatotoxicity in rats induced by the combination of INH and RFP for a long time,and the mechanisms is related to of antioxidation action of lycopene possibly.
