Objective:To explore the effect of the course ideology and politics teaching model based on the Context-Content-Course (3C) model in the nursing experimental class of endocrine diseases for nursing undergraduates.Methods:From March 2021 to June 2021,168 undergraduates from Class 1 of Chongqing Medical University in Grade 2018 were selected as the experimental group and 163 undergraduates from Class 3 of Nursing as the control group .Taking the humanistic care ability as the entry point of the course ideology and politics education, the experimental group carried out teaching and implement humanistic care education using course ideology and politics teaching mode based on the 3C model; the control group used traditional methods to carry out humanistic care education. After the course, the humanistic care ability, professional self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence of the two groups were compared.Results:After the implementation of the new teaching model, the total scores of humanistic care ability, occupational self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence of the students in the experimental group were 147.55 ± 15.95, 110.13 ± 9.26, and 76.24 ± 8.78, respectively, while those in the control group were 121.16 ± 18.44, 90.45 ± 9.49, and 61.67 ± 12.33, respectively; and the differences of the scores between two groups were statistically significant ( t=13.73, 18.80, 12.24, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The application of the course ideology and politics teaching model based on the 3C model in the nursing experimental class of endocrine diseases is helpful to improve the humanistic care ability, professional self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence of nursing students′ and is conducive to cultivating the comprehensive humanistic qualities of nursing students. It is ansignificant manifestation of accurate course ideology and politics education.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of core competence of diabetes specialist nurses in Chongqing. Methods 118 diabetes specialist nurses from Chongqing were selected by convenience sampling and were surveyed by questionnaires. Results The ability of clinical nursing and health education were in an advanced level; the ability of nursing management, guidance, consultation and clinical research were in a medium level;the ability of ethical decision-making was in an inferior level. Hospital types, departments they belong and professional titles may to some degree influence core competence of diabetes specialist nurses.Conclusions The core competence training for diabetes specialist nurses in Chongqing meets requirements of specialist nurses′ training; according to factors influencing core competence, training units should take targeted intervention measures to effectively promote core competence of the nurses.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) and the differences in clinical manifestations and survival between the two main pathological subtypes of PTL.Methods:The clinical data of 52 patients with PTL diagnosed in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2011 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics and survival between the two main pathological subtypes [diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT)] were compared.Results:Among 52 PTL patients, there were 12 males and 40 females, with a median age of 65 years old (34-83 years old). All patients presented with anterior cervical mass at the time of visit. MALT was diagnosed in 12 cases (23.1%). DLBCL was diagnosed in 37 cases (71.2%), of which 5 cases were double/triple expression lymphoma. B-cell lymphoma (unclassified) was diagnosed in 2 cases (3.8%). Follicular lymphoma (FL) was diagnosed in 1 case (1.9%). There was statistical difference in the proportion of patients with cervical lymph node enlargement between MALT and DLBCL patients [66.7% (8/12) vs. 94.6% (35/37), χ2 = 4.23, P < 0.05]. The 3-year OS rates of MALT and DLBCL patients were 90.9% and 73.9%, and the difference in OS between the two groups of patients was statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.11, P = 0.024). Conclusions:Pathological subtypes of PTL are related to the prognosis of patients.

The parahippocampal gyrus-orbitofrontal cortex (PHG-OFC) circuit in humans is homologous to the postrhinal cortex (POR)-ventral lateral orbitofrontal cortex (vlOFC) circuit in rodents. Both are associated with visuospatial malfunctions in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we explored the relationship between an impaired POR-vlOFC circuit and visuospatial memory deficits through retrograde tracing and in vivo local field potential recordings in 5XFAD mice, and investigated alterations of the PHG-OFC circuit by multi-domain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients on the AD spectrum. We demonstrated that an impaired glutamatergic POR-vlOFC circuit resulted in deficient visuospatial memory in 5XFAD mice. Moreover, MRI measurements of the PHG-OFC circuit had an accuracy of 77.33% for the classification of amnestic mild cognitive impairment converters versus non-converters. Thus, the PHG-OFC circuit explains the neuroanatomical basis of visuospatial memory deficits in AD, thereby providing a potential predictor for AD progression and a promising interventional approach for AD.
