Objective To investigate the clinical value of prenatal MRI in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of congenital bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS). Methods From January 2009 to December 2014, 16 fetuses with BPS were diagnosed by fetal MRI in Huzhou Maternity and Child Care Hospital and Shanghai Children′s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. The clinical data of these cases were analyzed retrospectively. All were singleton pregnancy, and MRI was carried out within 24-48 hours after routine prenatal ultrasound. All the neonates underwent postnatal enhanced CT scan or surgical biopsy after birth, and the results were compared to prenatal MRI diagnosis. Results (1)With prenatal MRI, 16 cases were diagnosed BPS. The lesions located in left lung in 10 cases, and right lung in 6 cases. As the scope of the lesion, 3 cases located in the whole left lung, 6 cases limited to the left lower lobe, and 1 case was subdiaphragmatic on the left side. 2 cases located in the whole right lung and 4 cases limited to the right lower lobe. One case complicated oligoamnios, and one had pleural effusion. Supplying vessels could be found in 14 cases.(2)When the postnatal results were compared with prenatal MRI, 15 cases were comfirmed as BPS (15/16), including 10 intralobar cases 5 extralobar cases. One that was diagnosed as BPS by prenatal MRI was confirmed to be congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) by pathology. The accuracy of prenatal MRI diagnosis of BPS was 15/16. Prenatal ultrasound missed one case and misdiagnosed two cases, as one was mistakened as CCAM and the other as cystic teratoma. Conclusion Prenatal MRI has good clinical value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fetal BPS.

Objective To investigate the quality of life and psychological resilience of nurses in Operation Room, and to explore the relationship between them. Methods From January to June 2017, 5 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Wuxi were selected by convenient sampling, and 40 nurses in Operating Room were selected as the research objects in each hospital by drawing method. They were surveyed by the basic data questionnaire, Work-related Quality of Life Scale-2 and Chinese version of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The independent sample t test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results Totally 196 valid data were finally collected. The scores of quality of work life and psychological resilience of 196 nurses were (96.83±14.77)and (56.83±9.65) respectively, both of which were below average. The psychological resilience of nurses in Operating Room was positively related to the quality of work life (r=0.612,P<0.01). The results of multivariate analysis showed that employment forms, working life and psychological resilience were the factors influencing the quality of working life of nurses in Operating Room (the standard regression coefficients were 0.077,-1.956,0.682;P<0.01), which explained 39.6% of the variation. Conclusions Resilience has positive influence on the quality of work life of nurses in Operating Room. Nursing managers can take appropriate measures to alleviate the work pressure of nurses, and fully mobilize their work enthusiasm, improve psychological resilience and then improve the quality of work life.
