Objective To investigate the clinical significance of gastric cracks by investigating the relationship between stomach cracks under gastroscopy and H.pylori infection as well as its pathological manifestation,in order to improve the detection rate of H.pylori.Methods Gastroscopy patients were enrolled as our subjects excluding those with tumors,major diseases and under 18 years old.Mucosal biopsies were obtained from the lesser curvature of antrum and the greater curvature of body in each patient,then by HE staining,pathological and HP examination.The information including the pathological diagnosis,HP antibody,rapid urease test,endoscopic diagnosis and endoscopic gastric body cracking phenomenon were collected from all patient.H.pylori positivity was defined as a patient who showed two or more positive results in the Rapid Urea's Test,pathohistological examination and H.pylori antibody detection.Results (1) 437 patients with gastroscopy were included between December 2009 and December 2011,among whom 210 were male and 227 were female.There were 32 cases with gastric ulcer,59 cases with duodenal ulcer,51 cases with duodenitis,62 cases with reflux esophagitis,and 276 cases with chronic gastritis.(2) H.pylori distribution in stoma of all patients:160 of 437 patients(36.61％) are H.pylori positive,of which 68.75％ (110/160) was found H.pylori positive in both of gastric antrum and body,25.63％ (41/160) was H.pylori positive only in antrum,and 3.13％ (5/160) was H.pylori positive only in the body of stomach.(3)Relationship between the presence of cracks in gastric body and H.pylori infection:the H.pylori positivity was 62.58％ (97/155) and 22.34％ (63/282) respectively in the group with or without the presence of cracks in body.Cracks in gastric body examined by gastroscopy was related to H.pylori infection(x2 =69.788,P =0.000).(4) Relationship between the presence of cracks in gastric body and patho-histology:the presence of cracks in gastric body was related with severity of gastric inflammation by Wilcoxon rank sum test (P ＜ 0.0001),while there was no relationship between gastric body cracks and atrophy,intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia(P ＞ 0.05).(5) Relationship between the presence of cracks in gastric body and diseases:the presence of cracks in body was related with duodenitis,bile reflux under gastroscopy while there was no difference among in gastric body and gastric ulcer,esophagitis and chronic gastritis in terms of cracking appearance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Our finding showed that cracking appearance in the gastric body is related with severity of inflammation in gastric mucosa bile reflux and duodenitis,suggesting that it can be one of the gastroscopic manifestations of more severe gastritis.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with medulloblastoma (MB). Methods The correlations amongst MB histopathological subtype,age at diagnosis,gender,primary tumor locations, relapsed tumor and relapsed tumor locations were analyzed retrospectively in 83 children who were diagnosed as MB by histopathology subtypes from February 2012 to April 2015 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical Uni-versity.The data was conducted by using SPSS 22.0 statistical software.Results Among the 83 cases (53 boys and 30 girls),there were 14 patients younger than 3 years old (9 boys and 5 girls)and 69 patients (44 boys and 25 girls)ol-der than 3 years old,including 28 relapsed (19 boys and 9 girls)and 55 non -relapsed cases (34 boys and 21 girls). The median age was 80.2 (13.1 -184.7)months at diagnosis.Of these 83 cases,48.2% (40 /83 cases)was classic medulloblastoma (CMB)(2 cases less than 3 years old),24.1 % (20 /83 cases)was desmoplastic /nodular medullo-blastoma (DMB)(6 cases less than 3 years old),12.1 % (10 /83 cases)was large cell/anaplastic medulloblastoma (LC /AMB)(1 case less than 3 years old),3.6% (3 /83 cases)was extensive nodular medulloblastoma (MBEN)(1 case less than 3 years old),and 12.1 % (10 /83 cases)(3 cases less than 3 years old)was mixed subtype.The rela-tionships between age at diagnosis and histopathological subtype,gender and primary tumor location were all statistically significant (χ2 =0.014,0.013,all P <0.05).Conclusions The incidence of boys with MB is higher than girls.CMB is the main histopathologic subtype in children over 3 years old.The primary tumor location involving the cerebellar vermis or cerebellar vermis and the fourth ventricle is higher in girls with MB.The primary tumor location involving the fourth ventricle,the fourth ventricle and other parts of the central nervous system,Cerebellar vermis and other parts of the central nervous system or other parts of the central nervous system is higher in boys with MB.

Virtual simulation experimental teaching is a major component of nursing education reform in colleges and universities, which makes space-unlimited cyber-learning and self-learning into reality and is helpful in the development of students' critical thinking and clinical nursing decision-making ability. Based on the "5E learning cycle" model, we have set up an experimental teaching system, and constructed a virtual simulation experimental platform of nursing, which comprises basic experimental skills, clinical experimental skills, comprehensive virtual simulation projects and training system of clinical thinking. The platform combines online learning and offline learning, virtual simulation and physical simulation together, and narrowes the gap between theoretical teaching and clinical practice. This platform has promoted the development of nursing skills, clinical thinking and comprehensive abilities for nursing students and been also ready for the design and development of virtual simulation experimental teaching projects in the future.

Objective:To design a virtual simulation tutorial system for bone traction nursing of the lower limbs, and to investigate its application effect.Methods:Based on clinical cases, a 3D model was established for the fractured lower limb using the virtual simulation technique. The design of the model considered the position and mechanical relationship between bone traction and fracture ends, as well as the assessment and intervention of the condition after bone traction, and such factors were taken as the core elements of simulation design. Virtual experiments were conducted for the four scenarios of pre-hospital first aid, triage in the hospital, bone traction operation, and postoperative nursing. Such experiments were conducted among junior nursing undergraduates, and examination results and student satisfaction survey were used to evaluate the application effect of the experiments.Results:The teaching software consisted of four training modules, i.e., theoretical knowledge learning of fractures, preparation before bone traction operation, methods and principles of bone traction operation, and observation of conditions after bone traction. The final score of experiments was (90.99±0.58) points among the students, and the degree of satisfaction with the experimental system and the teaching model was 87.85% (441/502) and 63.35% (318/502), respectively.Conclusions:The virtual simulation experiments for bone traction nursing of the lower limbs are scientific, professional, and interesting and have a relatively high degree of satisfaction among students, and therefore, they can be applied in the education of nursing students and the continuing education of nurses.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of mechanical power (MP) on the risk of in-hospital mortality in critical ill patients in emergency department.Methods:A total of 105 critical ill patients with invasive mechanical ventilation in the Department of Emergency of Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between December 1, 2017 and October 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the clinical prognosis, the patients were divided into the in-hospital survival group (80 patients) and the in-hospital death group (25 patients). The clinical data and ventilator parameters were recorded, and the MP of the two groups was calculated in order to assess the predictive efficacy of MP on in-hospital death.Results:Compared to the in-hospital death group, the oxygenation index PaO 2/FiO 2 was significantly higher (271 mmHg vs. 217 mmHg, P=0.020) and blood lactate (1.59 mmol/L vs. 2.56 mmol/L, P<0.001) and procalcitonin (0.31 ng/mL vs. 3.55 ng/mL, P=0.028), minute ventilation (7.03 L/min vs.8.32 mmol/L, P=0.013), MP (14.37 J/min vs. 16.12 J/min, P=0.041), SOFA score (5 vs. 8, P=0.001) and APACHE II score (16 vs. 22, P=0.041) were significantly lower in the in-hospital survival group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PaO 2/FiO 2( OR=1.015, P=0.044), MP ( OR=1.813, P=0.039) and SOFA score( OR=2.651, P=0.010) were independent risk factors for predicting hospital mortality in patients with mechanical ventilation. The areas under the ROC curves (AUC) were 0.62, 0.63 and 0.75, respectively. Moreover, the MP combined with SOFA score for predicting in-hospital death was significantly higher than that of MP alone (0.77 vs. 0.63, P<0.05). Conclusions:MP is associated with in-hospital death in patients with invasive mechanical ventilation in emergency department. MP combined with SOFA score can enhance its predictive efficacy

Hypertension and its associated cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and ischemic heart disease result in a high burden of disease and health losses, making it the most burdensome disease in the world and one of the important public health issues in China. Currently Chinese scholars have carried out a large number of studies on the prevalence of hypertension, including regional and national prevalence studies. However, long-term follow-up studies on incidence of hypertension are relatively few and mostly limited to specific ages and regions. This paper summarizes the prevalence, incidence and epidemiological trend of hypertension in Chinese adults. The hypertension prevalence increased from 5.1% in 1959 to 27.5% in 2018, and presents an overall trend of high in the north and low in the south. The hypertension incidence is at a high level (the cumulative incidence was 33.4% after 22 years-follow-up), but there are few researches on the trend of hypertension incidence in huge region.

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a very important pathogen, especially for children.On a global scale, GAS is an important cause of morbidity and mortality.But the burden of disease caused by GAS is still unknown in China and also has not obtained enough attention.For this purpose, the expert consensus is comprehensively described in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of GAS diseases in children, covering related aspects of pneumology, infectiology, immunology, microbiology, cardiology, nephrology, critical care medicine and preventive medicine.Accordingly, the consensus document was intended to improve management strategies of GAS disease in Chinese children.
