Objective:To investigate the correlation between the annual professional proficiency test results and the theoretical examination score of completion assessment in standardized residency training, as well as the value of the annual professional proficiency test results in predicting whether a resident passes the theoretical examination of completion assessment.Methods:The residents who participated in the annual professional proficiency test of residency training in Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University in 2019-2021 and the completion assessment of residency training in 2020-2022 were selected as subjects, and related data were collected, including sex, education background, personnel type, training specialty, the results of annual professional proficiency test, and the theoretical examination score of completion assessment. According to whether the resident passed the theoretical examination of completion assessment, they were divided into passed group and failed group. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform the chi-square test, the independent samples t-test, and the binary logistic regression analysis; the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis; the sensitivity analysis was represented by ROC curve. Results:Compared with the residents who passed the theoretical examination of completion assessment, the residents who did not pass the examination had a significant reduction in the proportion of the residents from our hospital and a significant increase in the proportion of the residents commissioned by foreign institutions ( χ 2=7.00, P=0.008). The passed group had a significantly higher national percentile of annual professional proficiency test score than the failed group (43.46%±26.61% vs. 23.40%±18.71%, t=6.02, P<0.001). The national percentile of annual professional proficiency test score was positively correlated with the theoretical examination score of completion assessment ( r=0.43, P<0.05). The source of residents commissioned by foreign institutions and the low percentile of annual professional proficiency test score were independent risk factors for failing the theoretical examination of completion assessment ( P=0.020 and P<0.001). The national percentile of annual professional proficiency test score had an area under the ROC curve of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.65-0.80) in predicting the outcome of theoretical examination and had a certain predictive value with a cut-off value of 15.1%. Conclusions:In addition to strengthening homogenization and professional base management for residency training, it is necessary to make full use of the results of annual professional proficiency test in standardized residency training and timely check the professional knowledge of the residents whose a national percentile of <15.1%, so as to effectively improve the pass rate of theoretical examination and the quality of training.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor and surgical resection is the only curative treatment option. In order to improve the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, it is very important to diagnose and evaluate pancreatic cancer accurately and early. Imaging examinations play an important role in tumor detection, staging and surgical resectability evaluation, which can provide reliable evidences for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. At present, the imaging techniques commonly used for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer include conventional ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasonography, PET-CT, multi-detector row CT (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in which MDCT and MRI are the most widely used. In this article, the application and research progress of imaging in accurate diagnosis and evaluation of pancreatic cancer are reviewed.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics,diagnosis,and differential diagnosis of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma(IMA)and mixed invasive mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma(mIMA).Methods The clinical data were collected in 36 patients with primary IMA and 17 patients with mIMA,and the expression of TTF-1,CK7,CK20,SATB2,CDX2,EGFR,HNF4a,etc.was detected by immunohistochemical EnVision two-step method.The Sanger se-quencing and the FISH were used for KRAS mutation and NRG1 gene rearrangement detection.The clinicopathological character-istics were analyzed with review of relevant literature.Results There were 9 cases(25.0％)and 3(8.3％)cases of papillary and micropapillary structures in IMA,while 13 cases(76.5％)(P＜0.001)and 9 cases(52.9％)(P=0.001)were present in mIMA.There were 5 cases(13.9％)of high nuclear grade of IMA and 10 cases(58.8％)of high nuclear grade of mIMA(P=0.002).TTF-1 had a positive rate of 37.5％in IMA,but 60.0％and 80.0％in the mucinous adenocarcinoma and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma components of mIMA(P=0.021),respectively.The positive rates of CK7,CK20,and CDX2 in IMA were 90.6％,21.9％,and 9.4％,and the positive rates in mucinous adenocarcinoma and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma components of mIMA were 100％,20％,20％and 100％,6.7％,6.7％,respectively and no SATB2 expression was found in all cases.There was no significant difference in the expres-sion of total EGFR and two EGFR mutation-specific antibodies(L858R,DEL19)between IMA and mIMA.There were 3 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma with L858R positive in mIMA,and 2 of them were negative for non-mueinous adenocarcinoma.In another case,the non-mueinous adenocarcinoma component of mIMA expressed DEL19,but the mucinous adenocarcinoma component was not expressed.The positive rate of HNF4a in IMA was 72.0％(18/25),and those of HNF4a in mucinous adenocarcinoma and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma in mIMA were 41.7％(5/12)and 33.3％(4/12),respectively(P=0.048).KRAS gene sequencing was carried out in 19 cases of IMA,among which 9 cases(47.4％)had mutations,G12D and G12V were most commonly detected,and 4 cases of mIMA were sequenced,but none of them showed KRAS mutations.FISH detection showed that 2 cases(7.1％)IMAs had NRG1 translocation rearrangement.Conclusion Pulmonary mIMA is more aggressive than IMA.For example,mIMA has significantly more papillary structure,micropapillary structure,and high nu-clear grade cases than IMA.The differences in immunohisto-chemical expression and KRAS mutation between the two are sta-tistically significant.

Objective:To understand the awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status and awareness of COPD-related knowledge and its influencing factors in COPD patients aged ≥40 years in China in 2014-2015.Methods:The study subjects were selected through multi-stage stratified cluster sampling from 125 COPD surveillance points in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China. The number of the subjects was 75 107. The relevant variables about COPD diagnosis and COPD-related knowledge awareness were collected by electronic questionnaire in face to face interviews. A total of 9 134 participates with post-bronchodilator FEV 1/FVC<70% were diagnosed with COPD. Based on the complex sampling design, the awareness rate of COPD status and related knowledge were estimated, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results:A total of 9 132 COPD patients were included in the analysis. Among COPD patients aged ≥40 years in China, 0.9% were aware of their COPD status (95 %CI: 0.6%-1.1%), and 5.7% were aware of COPD related knowledge (95 %CI: 4.8%-6.6%), and 3.4% were aware of pulmonary function test (95 %CI: 2.8%-4.0%). The COPD status awareness rate was 3.9% in the patients with history of chronic respiratory disease (95 %CI: 2.9%-4.8%), 2.4% in the patients with respiratory symptoms (95 %CI: 1.7%-3.1%), and 7.1% in the patients with COPD related knowledge awareness (95 %CI: 4.5%-9.8%) respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that chronic respiratory disease history, respiratory symptoms, occupational dust and/or harmful gas exposure and COPD related knowledge awareness had influences on the awareness rate of COPD status. Educational level and chronic respiratory disease history had influences on the awareness rate of COPD related knowledge. And ethnic groups, educational level and history of chronic respiratory diseases had influences on the awareness rate of pulmonary function test. Conclusions:The awareness rates of COPD status, COPD-related knowledge and pulmonary function test in COPD patients in China were low. The comprehensive intervention of COPD should be carried out to improve the level of diagnosis and the awareness COPD status of COPD patients.

Stem cell transplantation holds a promising future for central nervous system repair. Current challenges, however, include spatially and temporally defined cell differentiation and maturation, plus the integration of transplanted neural cells into host circuits. Here we discuss the potential advantages of neuromodulation-based stem cell therapy, which can improve the viability and proliferation of stem cells, guide migration to the repair site, orchestrate the differentiation process, and promote the integration of neural circuitry for functional rehabilitation. All these advantages of neuromodulation make it one potentially valuable tool for further improving the efficiency of stem cell transplantation.
