Modern Clinical Nursing 2014;(8):62-68
Objective To investigate and analyze the effects of problem-based learning used in clinical nursing education. Method The research papers on the effect of problem-based learning used in clinical nursing education were retrieved via CNKI, Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,ProQuest and Google scholar websites and then analyzed by Revman5.0 software.Results Totally 11 RCTs were included.Meta-analysis showed that PBL could significantly promote students’examination scores,self-study ability, critical thinking and clinical skill,but insignificantly improved the effect in improvement of their theory learning,interest and ability in cooperation.Conclusions PBL is a scientific clinical teaching method,which can stimulate students’initiative and exploratory learning and enhance effects of clinical teaching.Meanwhile,we suggest formulating evaluation criteria and implementing rigorous RCT designs in the future.
2.Th17/Treg balance in inflammatory bowel disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2017;44(1):55-58
Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is characterized by chronic non-specific inflammatory dis ease.The inflammation caused by abnormal immune response in intestinal mucosa exerts an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD.T helper 17 cells(Th17)are involved in the development of chronic inflammation and auto immune disease,whereas regulatory T cells can inhibit the function of autoimmune,and thus the balance of Th17/Treg balance plays an important role in intestinal homeostasis.Various strategies can be done to modulate Th17/Treg balance,such as antigen-presenting cells,microoganisms,some key molecules,natural compounds,proving a promising therapeutic method for IBD.

L-theanine (γ-glutamylethylamide) is the main free amino acid component of tea and its favorable physiological effects on mammals have been reported. An enzymatic method for optically pure L-theanine production with a new L-aminoacylases-production fungi Cunnighamella echinulata 9980 was developed. The optimum conditions for enzymatic catalysis were at pH 6.5 with 50 mmol/L N-Acyl-DLtheanine and 40 mmol/L CoCl2. After 12-h incubation at 50℃,22.5 mmol/L L-theanine was obtained, the conversion rate against N-Acyl-L-theanine being 90%. Cunnighamella echinulata and the aminoacylase were applied in preparation of L-theanine.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness and safety of radiotherapy combined with surgery for gastric cancer compared with single surgery. Methods:We retrieved relevant randomized controlled trails in Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2009), PubMed (Jan 1966-Jun 2009), EMBASE (Jan 1974-Jun 2009), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (Jan 1978-Jun 2009), Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Database (Jan 1989-Jun 2009) ,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (Jan 1994 to Jun 2009) and Wanfang database (Jan 1997-Jun 2009). Two researchers assessed the quality of included randomized controlled trials (RCT) and extracted data independently. The RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analysis. Results:Nine RCTs including 1 548 patients were selected for Meta analysis. Five RCTs were related with comparison of preoperative radiotherapy plus surgery with single surgery. Two RCTs were about the comparison of surgery plus perioperative radiotherapy with single surgery. Two RCTs were the comparative studies between surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy and single surgery. The Meta analysis results showed that: (1)compared with surgery alone, preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery can increase 3 years [OR = 1.78, 95% confidence interal (CI):1.14-2.78], 5 years (OR = 1.67, 95%CI :1.22-2.29),and 10 years (OR = 1.64, 95%CI 1.03-2.60) survival rate,and reduce the tumor recurrent rate(OR = 0.59, 95%CI :0.37-0.92) and metastasis rate (OR= 0.44, 95%CI :0.27-0.73); (2) The tumor recurrent rates (OR = 0.19,95%CI :0.03-1.14 )and tumor metastasis rates (OR = 0.09, 95%CI :0.00-1.77)had no difference between single surgery group and peri-operative radiotherapy plus surgery group;(3) Postoperative radiotherapy compared with surgery had no significant effects on 1 year (OR = 0.83, 95%CI :0.60-1.15) and 3 years (OR = 0.75, 95%CI :0.51-1.11) survival rate compared with single surgery, but the 5 years (OR = 0.57,95%CI :0.34-0.95) survival rate of the patients who received surgery alone was higher than those who received combined therapy. No difference of the tumor recurrence rate(OR=0.59,95%CI :0.33-1.05) and tumor metastasis rate (OR=0.90,95%CI:0.51-1.59) were observed between the two groups. Conclusion:Preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery is more rational and effective than surgery alone in the treatment of gastric cancer. However in terms of the clinical effects of perioperative or postoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery, more RCTs with larger samples and higher quality need to be carried out to make further verification.

Objective To investigate the correlations of FcεRI-βgene polymorphisms with clinical manifestation and prognosis inwheezing infants. Methods One hundred and forty-six wheezing infants were recruited and divided into two groups by FcεRI-βdetection using Fluorescent quantitative PCR: Risk genotype group (n = 41) or normal genotype group (n = 105). The genotype distributions,clinical manifestation and asthma,and morbidity were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results FcεR1 E237G AG/GG was more serious than FcεR1 AA in wheezing infants. (χ2 = 14.202; P = 0.003). No significant differences were found in AS morbidity between the two groups after two years follow-up (χ2 = 2.25;P = 0.13). Conclusion FcεRI-βgene polymorphisms are strongly related with infantile wheezing. Th risk genotype may be the severity of asthma but may not be the major influencing factor of asthma.

Objective To evaluate the protection of combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobac-terium living powders for antibiotic-associated diarrhea ( AAD ) with all kinds of infections in hospitalized children,and to compare the therapeutic effect with saccharomyces boulardii. Methods This study was a prospective,randomized case-control clinical trial which collected the data of the hospitalized children with all kinds of infections in Pediactric Department of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between May 2011 to May 2012. A total of 552 cases were enrolled and 480 cases completed the study. A total of 240 chil-dren were in experimental group,80 cases received combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium liv-ing powders 840 mg per time,twice a day and the other 160 cases received saccharomyces boulardii 250 mg per time,twice a day,for one week; the control group took none of probiltics. Two groups received routine antibiotic therapy. Everyday′s defecate frequency was recorded, the traits of excrement according to bristol stool assessment scale were evaluated,the incidence of diarrhea and drug related adverse reactions were coun-ted. Results During the studied 7 days,the AAD incidence was 4. 2%(10/240) in experimental group and 20. 4%(49/240) in control group,there was significant difference between two groups. The risk of AAD in experimental group decreased 58. 5%. Compared to saccharomyces boulardii,combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium living powders decreased 38. 2% (RR=0. 728, 95%CI 0. 257~0. 784, P=0. 009). Compared to control group,the average defecate frequency decreased in experimental group,diarrhea duration contracted,there was statistic difference between two groups ( P<0. 01 ) . No drug related adverse reactions happened during the trial. Conclusion Both combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium living powders and saccharomyces boulardii could effectively reduce the risk of AAD in hospitalized children with bacterial infection,relieve diarrhea symptoms,short the duration of diarrhea,and did not find the adverse reac-tions. Combined clostridium butyricum and bifidobacterium living powders and saccharomyces boulardii had the same protective effect for AAD of northern China children.
