Objectlve:To assess the influential factors of decision-to-delivery inteval (DDI) in caesarean section, and its influence on neonatal outcomes.Methods:472 caesarean sections were divided into two groups according to Lucas's classification :the emergency caesarean sections as group 1 (291) ; and the e-lective caesarean sections as group 2 (181).It was divided into DDI ≤30 min group and DDI > 30 mir group in group 1.A retrospective study was performed in DDI, influential factors of DDI, neonatal Apgar score and umbilical arterial blood gas.Results: ①The mean DDI was 35.5±11.6 min in group 1,in wgich DDI≤30 min was 210 cases (72.2%) and 49.3 ±22.8 min in group 2, in which DDI≤30 min was 86 cases (47.5%).②IN group 1,umbilical artery pH and Apgar core at 1 min after birth could be improved sigbificantly in the cases of DDI ≤ 30 min (P<0.05) , but no correlation was found between the DDI and Apgar scrore at 5 min ,as compared with DDI >30MIN CASES(p>0.05).③It was mainly influenced by time taken to get the patient into operation room in DDI >30 min (56 cases, 69.1 %).Concluslons :The recommended DDI ≤30 min is not routinely achieved even in emergency caesarean sections.Shortening DDI as far as pos-sible might improve the neonatal outcome.

To investigate the impact of phenotypic knockout of CXCR4 on Molt-4 cells via intrakine technology,the C-terminal alpha-helix gene SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL of human stromal cell-derived Faceor-1 deletion is fused to a retention signal 4-peptide -KDEL that retains the newly synthesized receptor within the Molt-4 cells endoplasimc reticulum. Subsequently, PCR is used to amplify the target gene SDF-1alpha/54/ KDEL from the constructed plasmid SDF-WT-Gly x 4-Dec/PET-30a(+) at its C-terminal and subclone it into eukaryotic expression vectors pEGFP-C3 for generating recombinant vector cells by lipEGFP-C3/SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL, and then have it sequenced. After the transfection of recombinant plasmids into COS-7 posome, SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL protein is confirmed with Western blot. The recombinant plasmids pEGFP-C3/SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL are isolated and transiently transfected in Molt-4 cells by electroporation. Flow cytometric analysis shows a dramatic reduction of CXCR4 expression on Molt-4 cells. The conclusion is that SDF-1alpha/54/KDEL could assume a role in the phenotypic knockout of CXCR4, and the findings suggest that the inhibiting effect of SDF-1alpha/54 against CXCR4 is not influenced by the deletion of SDF-1alpha helix at the C terminal.

Objective:To investigate the effect of situational simulation combined with video feedback in cardiopulmonary and abdominal clinical probation of diagnostics.Methods:Two hundred and twenty-four clinical undergraduates from the second affiliated hospital of Guangxi Medical University were randomized into the experimental group ( n=112) and the control group ( n=112). The experimental group applied situational simulation combined with video feedback methods in the cardiopulmonary and abdominal clinical probation. In other words, according to the assignment of diseases, two students played the role of "physician and patient" and conducted corresponding consultation and physical examination, in which the positive and negative video feedback were integrated to standardize students' physical examination skills. The control group adopted conventional teaching method. The teaching effect of the two groups was evaluated through unified and standardized scores of theoretical tests, cases analysis, and clinical skills operation, and the experimental group was conducted anonymous questionnaires to 112 students. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t test. Results:The evaluation results show that the average scores of theoretical tests (90.12±0.94), cases analysis (9.30±0.10) and physical examination (93.50±0.72) in the experimental group are higher than those of the control group, (83.20±1.66), (8.10±0.11), (85.00±1.75), respectively, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). All 112 questionnaires were collected, with an effective rate of 100%. The percentage of "yes" respondents is as follows, 91.1% of "Enhancing the mastery and application of knowledge"; 97.3% of "Cultivating clinical thinking"; 87.5% of "Improving doctor-patient communication skills"; however, there are 93.8% students believe that this new teaching approach takes more time to prepare before class, consequently, their initiative and enthusiasm of study and learning interest have slid into decline, with percentage of 80.4% and 83.0%, respectively. Conclusion:The teaching method of situational simulation and video feedback in cardiopulmonary and abdominal clinical probation of diagnostics is beneficial to enhance students' understanding and mastery of theoretical knowledge, standardize physical examinations, cultivate clinical thinking ability and improve the doctor-patient communication skills. However, it takes a lot of time for students to prepare before class. If they fail to make reasonable arrangements, the teaching effect will be half the effort and students' initiative and enthusiasm of learning will be reduced.
