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.

Objective To investigate the current status of self-efficacy and care ability among stroke patients′ family caregivers and explore the correlation between them. Method A total of 79 stroke patients and family caregivers were engaged in the investigation by demographical data questionnaires, general self-efficacy scale and questionnaire for assessing the comprehensive care-giving ability of stroke caregivers. Results The score on self-efficacy of the family caregiver was (27.16 ± 5.64) and the total score on care ability was (90.01 ± 16.57). There was a positive correlation between self-efficacy and care ability of family caregivers(P<0.05). Conclusions The self-efficacy and care ability of stroke patient′s family caregivers are at middle level. Their self-efficacy is positively correlated with their care ability. The nurses can improve the ability of daily caring of family caregivers by enhancing their self-efficacy.

The association between atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) was studied in Chinese population. The genotypes of ANP T2238C and ANP C-664G were detected by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods in 158 consecutive CHD patients and 165 controls. It was found that the distribution of A2A2 genotype in CHD group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Stepwise Logistic regression analysis revealed that male, smoking, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, family history of hypertension, high level of serum cholesterol, and ANP T2238C polymorphism were the possible risk factors in patients with CHD (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the patients with CHD and the control group in the distribution of ANP C-664G polymorphism (P>0.05). The results suggest that A2A2 T2238C genotype could be one of the risk factors for CHD (P<0.05, OR: 1.80, 95 % CI: 1.03-3.15).

Objective To explore the changes in fractional anisotropy (FA) among cerebral infarction pa-tients using MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and to verify the relationship between any FA changes and functional recovery. Methods Thirty-eight cerebral infarction patients were divided into two groups according to their recovery level using Brunnstrom's criteria. All the patients accepted routine MR and DTI examination, and FA values were measured during the acute, subacute and chronic stages of their recovery. Results Average FA values in the lesion area were significantly lower than in the corresponding contralateral area, and were highest daring the acute stage.There was no significant difference between the subacute and chronic stages. Conclusions The FA values of cere-bral infarction patients change during the different stages of recovery with a certain regularity. This may be valuable for clinical treatment and prognosis.

Objective The aim of this study was to observe the outcome and evaluate the clinical efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on pain management in patients with osteoporosis.MethodsA total of 58 patients with osteoporosis were treated with PEMF stimulation.Pains as main indicators of their symptom were evaluated before and after treatments.The clinical outcomes were assessed by observing the visual analogue scale (VAS).Statistical analysis was carried out to support the data.Results After PEMF treatment,the patients exhibited significant pain relief from mean VAS of 6.97±1.83 to 3.36±1.69(t-test,P＜0.05 ).Of the 58 patients,28 obtained significant symptom alleviation and 18 obtained moderate symptom alleviation,while 8 obtained slight alleviation,indicating the total clinical efficacy of 93%(54/58).Conclusion The current study provides the clinical outcomes indicating that PEMF may help to release the pain from primary osteoporosis and it might be an applicable supplementary treatment method for the osteoporosis related pain.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of rectal aberrant crypt foci(ACF)for colorectal cancer(CRC)and progressive adenomas, and to analyze its risk factors.Methods IndependentSample T test, One-Way ANOVA and Chi-square test were used to analyze the mean number and incidence of rectal ACF.Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the predictive value of rectal ACF for progressive adenomas and CRC, and to identify the independent risk factors of ACF.Results Large number of ACF, i.e.more than 5, was a significant risk factor for CRC and progressive adenomas.Age and smoking were both risk factors of ACF, while aspirin was a protective factor.Conclusion ACF of more than 5 is predictive of CRC and progressive adenomas.For prevention of CRC, great importance must be attached to risk factors of ACF.

Purpose To investigate the c1inicopatho1ogica1 and immunohistochemica1 characteristics of enteropathy-associated T-ce11 1ymphoma( EATL)and to eva1uate the criteria of diagnosis and differentia1 diagnosis. Methods There were enteropathy-associated T-ce11 1ymphoma patients co11ected with c1inica1 data(n=9). Histo1ogica1 features were observed under microscope by HE staining and by immunohistochemstry. EBV was tested by in situ hybridization. Results EATL type Ⅰ showed a variab1e histo1ogy consisting of medium-sized to 1arge 1ymphoid ce11s with round or po1ygona1 nuc1ei,containing remarkab1e nuc1eo1i. EATL typeⅡshowed that tumor ce11s were medium-sized,with round,hyperchromatic nuc1ei. Nuc1ear debris and necrosis cou1d be seen easi1y. A 1arge number of his-tiocytes and neutrophi1s formed the inf1ammatory background. Immunohistochemica1 findings showed that tumor ce11s of two types were diffuse1y positive for CD3,CD43 and TIA-1,whi1e negative for CD4,CD5,CD20,CD79a. Tumor ce11s of EATL type II expressed CD56 and CD8,but negative in EATL typeⅠ. A high pro1iferation index was demonstrated by Ki-67. EBER was negative detection. There were seven patients with fo11ow-up data from 0 to 18 months. Four patients died within 10 months and three patients died within 18 months. Conclusions EATL is a rare type of 1ymphoma with intestina1 invo1vement. Patients often present with chronic abdomina1 pain,diarrhea,persistent fever and abdomina1 mass for a 1ong time. Intestina1 perforation occurs in some cases. Diagnosis shou1d be corre1ated to c1inica1 symptoms whi1e the fina1 diagnosis is main1y based on the patho1ogica1 features and the immune phenotypes.

"Framework" and "framework theory" were proposed several decade years ago, and has been widely used in multidisciplinary research. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the concept and connotation of "framework theory" and to discuss the key role of it in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) research, so as to improve integrality and logicality of the theoretic system of TCM. TCM, as a independent science, ought to have the theory and practical framework which can reflect its characteristic and developmental rule. In this paper, we started from the research thought of "framework", introduced the definition, connection and difference between "framework" and "framework theory", analyzed the conditions and methods of establishing a framework, and discussed the applications of "framework" in TCM research.
