Objective To investigate the influence of plasma exchange with acupuncture point injection therapy on liver fibrosis indexes in patients with severe hepatitis. Methods Sixty patients with severe hepatitis were randomly divided into group A with 29 cases receiving plasma replacement and group B of 31 cases receiving astragalus injection at Zusanli point in addition to plasma replacement. Changes of liver fibrosis indexes including serum hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), collagenⅣ(Ⅳ-C), typeⅢpre-collagen (PCⅢ) were observed, which were compared with those from group C with 30 healthy subjects. Results Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in comparison of liver fibrosis index in group A and B (P>0.05), but all the indexes were higher than those in group C (P<0.001). After treatment, the level of each index in group A and B was down with a more significant change in group B and the comparison of both groups indicated statistical significance (P<0.05 or P <0.001);Compared with those in group C, changes ofⅣ-C, PCⅢin group B showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Plasma exchange with astragalus injection at Zusanli point can effectively improve liver fibrosis indexes in patients with severe hepatitis and then improve the prognosis of patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of plasmapheresis plus acupoint injection in treating severe hepatitis. MethodSixty patients with severe hepatitis were randomized into a treatment group of 31 cases and a control group of29 cases. The two groups both received plasmapheresis in addition to the comprehensive internal medicine treatment, while thetreatment group simultaneously received acupoint injection withHuang Qi(Radix Astragali) at Zusanli (ST 36). After the intervention, the symptoms, signs, liver function, blood coagulation, and blood ammonia were observed in the two groups.ResultAfter the intervention, the symptoms, signs, and biochemical indexes were significantly improved,and theindexes in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the total effective rate of the treatment group was markedly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionPlasmapheresis plus acupoint injection can effectively improve the short-term condition of the patients, enhance therapeutic efficacy, with fewer adverse reactions.

Objective:
To determine the contribution of follow-up formula (FUF) to the nutrient intake of 7-24-month-old infants and young children.
Methods:
The cluster random sampling method and the convenience sampling method were used in combination, and geographic and economic factors were taken into consideration. Four areas of China (Beijing, Hebei, Guangxi, Guangdong) were selected, with 120 infants chosen from each of these areas (half of which were 7-12 months old, and half were 13-24 months old). A dietary survey was completed by a continuous 24-hour weighing method over two days. Questionnaires were completed by their caregivers which included weighing the FUF and supplementary food given to the infant, and recording the frequency of breast feeding and any supplementary nutrients. A total of 518 questionnaires were distributed, and 472 questionnaires qualified for inclusion. Nutrient intake was calculated using the China food composition, infant formula food nutrient content and infant nutrition supplement brand-label information databases, and then the nutrient intake proportion (the percentage of estimated energy requirement (EER%), recommended nutrient intake (RNI%) or adequate intake (AI%)), and the contribution rate of FUF were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 472 infants were investigated (227 infants aged 7-12 months old, 245 infants aged 13-24 months old). The findings revealed that the median energy intake of 7- 12-month-old and 13- 24-month-old infants were 2 530.08 kJ and 3 445.48 kJ, respectively, which accounted for 85.18% and 94.14% of EER, respectively; and the median intake of protein reached 91.50% and 105.88% of their RNI/AI, respectively. For micronutrients, the median intake of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, vitamin E, potassium, zinc and manganese in 7- 12-month-old infants and vitamin B2, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, iron and manganese in 13-24-month-old children accounted for 82.00% and 114.29% of RNI/AI (RNI%/AI%), respectively. The intake of vitamin B6, iron and selenium in 7-12-month-old infants and vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium and selenium in 13-24-month-old children was less than 80% RNI/AI. Furthermore, some nutrients showed higher intake levels, such as vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in 7-12-month-old infants and vitamin A and phosphorus in 13-24-month-old children, which were higher than 130% RNI/AI. In total, 40.53% (92) of infants aged 7-12 months and 52.65% (129) of children aged 13- 24 months were fed FUF as part of their diet, and its contribution rate to macronutrients was 29.69% for carbohydrates and 51.77% for fats, and to micronutrients was 2.04% for manganese and 74.24% for vitamin C.
Conclusion
FUF contributes to the nutrient intake of infants and young children aged from 7-24 months old at different rates depending on the macronutrient or micronutrient analyzed.

Objective:To construct a scientific and objective evaluation system for the in-service training of "double-qualified" clinical nursing teachers.Methods:From August 2020 to March 2021, the framework was preliminarily constructed through literature analysis, and the evaluation system was constructed by Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process.Results:The authority coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation are 0.82 and 0.81 respectively, and the overall coordination coefficients are 0.24 and 0.21 respectively. As a result, we construct the evaluation system for the in-service training of "double-qualified" clinical nursing teachers, included 8 first-level indicators, 39 second-level indicators and 39 groups of grading rules.Conclusions:The evaluation index system for the on-the-job training of "dual-teacher" clinical nursing teachers constructed in this study can provide a reference for the reform of the current "dual-teacher" clinical nursing teachers′ on-the-job training, and improve the quality of teacher training, and guarantee the quality of nursing teaching.
