Objective This study aimed to survey students' satisfaction and cognitive attitude of elaborate course of social medicine to provide a basis for exploring appropriate teaching mode. Methods Purposive sampling was used with questionnaire to survey 646 students who had learned social medicine in 5 universities in Guangdong province. The survey included the social medicine curriculum, teaching situation, students' satisfaction and cognitive attitude of elaborate course of so-cial medicine. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the demographic characteristics and curriculum. The t test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the means of students' satisfaction and cognitive attitude of elaborate course in different universities, using the test level of 0.05. Results The lecture-based learning was the main teaching mode. 335(52.7%) students thought it necessary to learn social medicine, but only 27.2%of the students(173 students) were interested in social medicine and 65(10.2%) students could take the initiative to read about extracurricular books. Overall satisfac-tion with using network resources of elaborate course in two universities that had university-level elab-orate course of social medicine were (2.78 ± 0.55) and (3.01 ± 0.30) respectively and the difference was statistically significant(t=-3.97,P<0.01). The cognitive attitude of the students in 5 universities with using network resources of elaborate course was (3.09±0.66) and the difference was statistically significant(F=3.70,P<0.01). Conclusion Social medicine teaching has been paid attention to in 5 universities, but there were some common problems: ①putting emphasis on theory and ignoring prac-tice in teaching mode; ②putting emphasis on credit and ignoring effectiveness in learning; ③and putting emphasis on construction and ignoring using in network resources of elaborate course of social medicine.

Objective To evaluate the early diagnostic value of circulating microRNA-1 (miR-1) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted. The patients with chest pain admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Wuxi from November 2012 to June 2015 were enrolled. According to AMI diagnostic criteria, the patients were divided into AMI group and non-AMI group, and healthy individuals during the same period were served as heath controls. The venous samples of the onset patients were collected within 3 hours after admission. The plasma miR-1 was determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the levels of plasma cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) were measured by electrochemiluminescence. The correlation between plasma miR-1 and cTnI as well as CK-MB was performed by Spearman analysis. The early diagnostic performance of plasma miR-1, cTnI, and CK-MB for AMI was estimated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results There were 127 patients in AMI group, and 107 in non-AMI group, including 82 patients with angina pectoris, 2 with pulmonary embolism, 3 with aortic dissection, 2 with acute pericarditis, 3 with myocarditis, 13 with acute heart failure, and 2 with peptic ulcer. Ninety volunteers were served as healthy controls. There was no difference in clinical characteristics including gender and hyperlipidemia between AMI group and non-AMI group. The expressions of plasma miR-1, cTnI and CK-MB were significantly increased in AMI patients as compared with those of the healthy controls [miR-1 (2-ΔΔCt): 4.32±2.60 vs. 1.44±0.75 and 0.98±0.18, cTnI (μg/L): 3.23 (0.63, 10.70) vs. 0.02 (0.00, 0.17) and 0.00 (0.00, 0.00), CK-MB (U/L): 32.40 (14.20, 95.40) vs. 14.40 (11.20, 17.10) and 8.90 (8.28, 9.50), all P < 0.01]. The expression of plasma miR-1 had a significantly positive correlation with cTnI and CK-MB in AMI patients (r1 = 0.395, r2 = 0.490, both P < 0.000). It was demonstrated by ROC curve analysis that the area under ROC curve (AUC) for the diagnostic value of miR-1 on AMI was 0.905 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.860-0.950, P = 0.000], the sensitivity was 86.6%, and the specificity was 95.4%; the AUC for cTnI was 0.908 (95%CI = 0.870-0.946, P = 0.000), the sensitivity was 81.9%, and the specificity was 95.9%; the AUC for CK-MB was 0.795 (95%CI = 0.736-0.854, P = 0.000), the sensitivity was 63.0%, and the specificity was 92.9%. Conclusions Plasma miR-1 has the capacity in early diagnosis of AMI, superior to CK-MB, and equal to cTnI. It can provide additional diagnostic information beyond cTnI. The diagnostic accuracy for early AMI can be improved with the combination of plasma miR-1 and cTnI.

Objective To explore the interventional effect of Swanson's caring theory on women taking assisted reproduction and its influence on the fear of treatment.Methods A total of 148 patients who undergone assisted reproduction in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected,of whom,74 women enrolled between January and June 2021 were assigned to a control group and another 74 women enrolled between July 2021 and January 2022 were assigned to an observation group.The control group was offered with the routine nursing intervention,while the Swanson caring theory guided nursing intervention was applied to the observation group,based on the routine intervention.The level of fear,social support,quality of life and clinical pregnancy rate of the two groups were observed before the intervention and at 1 month and 2 months after the intervention.Results(1)The levels of fear of the treatment in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group after 1 month and 2 months of intervention,with statistically significant differences in the intergroup effect,time effect and interaction effect per indicator at different time points(P<0.05).(2)The levels of social support in the observation group at 1 month and 2 months after intervention were higher than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences in the inter-group effect,time effect and interaction effect per indicator at different time points(P<0.01).(3)The scores of quality of life in the observation group at 1 month and 2 months after intervention were higher than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences in the inter-group effect,time effect and interaction effect per indicator at different time points(P<0.01).(4)Clinical pregnancy rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group[64.87%(48/74)vs.48.65%(36/74),P<0.05].Conclusion Swanson's caring theory is effective in mitigating the fear of patients in the women undergoing the assisted reproduction,enhancing the social support,improving the quality of life,and increasing the rate of clinical pregnancy..

Objective To evaluate the correlation of CT enhancement parameters with Fuhrman grade in T1 (≤7 cm) clear cell renal carcinoma(ccRCC).Methods From September 2011 to November 2017,102 post-operation cases in our hospital proven to be T1 ccRCC were retrospectively analyzed.There were 71 males and 31 females,with a mean age of (59.1 ± 12.7)years (26 ～79 years),mean body mass index(BMI) of (24.0 ± 2.8)kg/m2 (14.3 ～ 31.6 kg/m2).Tumors of 55 patients were in left kidneys,47 in right kidneys.Fuhrman grade 1 and 2 were defined as low-grade group,meanwhile high-grade group included grade 3 and 4.There were 46 males and 21 females in low-grade group,with a mean age of (59.0 ± 13.2) years,mean BMI of (24.0 ± 2.9) kg/m2.In high-grade group,there were 25 males and 10 females,with a mean age of (58.8 ± 11.8) years,mean BMI of (24.2 ± 2.7) kg/m2.The maximum diameter and tumor enhancement value (TEVX),relative enhancement value (REVX) were measured and calculated.In arterial phase,X =1;in venous phase X =2.The total consumption amount of iodine was recorded.Comparisons of maximum diameter,TEV1,TEV2,REV1,REV2 and the total consumption of iodine between the two different groups were performed.The ROC curves of TEV1,TEV2,REV1,and REV2 were drawn to predict the grade of tumors..Results The TEV1 [(146.1 ± 29.1) HU vs.(100.2 ± 32.1) HU],TEV2 [(98.2 ± 22.9) HU vs.(75.6 ± 25.7) HU],REV1 (1.12 ± 0.24 vs.0.70 ± 0.16),REV2(0.67 ± 0.17 vs.0.54 ± 0.18) between low-grade group and high-grade group had statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the maximum diameter[(41.8 ± 15.4)mm vs.(45.3 ± 17.0)mm] and the total consumption of iodine [(33.3 ± 5.0)g vs.(34.2 ± 4.4)g] between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The area under ROC curve of TEV1,TEV2,REV1 and REV2 were 0.856,0.755,0.901 and 0.728,respectively.REV1 had the highest distinguish efficiency and the best critical value was 0.93.Conclusions The enhancement parameters of T1 ccRCC could contribute to predicting the Fuhrman grade.When the REV1 ≤0.93,the tumor tended to be high-grade tumor(Fuhrman grade 3-4).

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the spectrum-effect relationship between the total anthraquinone extract of Cassia seeds and fluorouracil (5-Fu)-induced liver injury in mice and identify the effective components in the extract. METHODS: A mouse model of liver injury was established by intraperitoneal injection of 5-Fu, with bifendate as the positive control. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in the liver tissue were detected to investigate the effect of the total anthraquinone extract of Cassia seeds (0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 g/kg) on liver injury induced by 5-Fu. HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of the total anthraquinone extracts were established to analyze the spectrum- effectiveness of the extract against 5- Fu- induced liver injury in mice and screen the effective components using the grey correlation method. RESULTS: The 5- Fu- treated mice showed significant differences in liver function parameters from the normal control mice (P < 0.05), suggesting successful modelling. Compared with those in the model group, serum ALT and AST activities were decreased, SOD and T- AOC activities significantly increased, and MPO level was significantly lowered in the mice treated with the total anthraquinone extract (all P < 0.05). HPLC fingerprints of the 31 components in the total anthraquinone extract of Cassia seeds showed good correlations with the potency index of 5-Fu-induced liver injury but with varying correlation strengths. The top 15 components with known correlations included aurantio-obtusina (peak 6), rhein (peak 11), emodin (peak 22), chrysophanol (peak 29) and physcion (peak 30). CONCLUSION The effective components in the total anthraquinone extract of Cassia seeds, including aurantio-obtusina, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, and physcion, are coordinated to produce protective effects against 5-Fu-induced liver injury in mice.

Objective: To establish a CT image radiomics-based prediction model for the differential diagnosis of silicosis and tuberculosis nodules. Methods: A total of 53 patients with silicosis and 89 patients with tuberculosis who underwent routine CT scans in Suzhou Fifth People's Hospital from January to August, 2018 were enrolled in this study. AK/ITK software was used to segment the images to obtain 139 silicosis lesions and 119 tuberculosis lesions. For each lesion image, 396 features were extracted, and feature dimension reduction was applied to select the most characteristic feature subset. Support vector machine (SVM) , feedforward back propagation neural network (FNN-BP) , and random forest (RF) were implemented using R software (Rstudio V1.1.463) , and the algorithm that achieved the largest area under of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was selected as the final prediction model. Results: RF was the best prediction model for the differential diagnosis of silicosis and tuberculosis nodules, with an accuracy of 83.1%, a sensitivity of 0.76, a specificity of 0.9, and an AUC of 0.917 (95% confidence interval: 0.8431-0.9758) . RF had a significantly larger AUC than SVM and FNN-BP (P<0.05) . Conclusion CT image-based RF prediction model can be used to differentially diagnose silicosis and tuberculosis nodules.
