Objective:The application effect of simulation teaching based on Miller pyramid theory in the training of new obstetric nurses.Methods:Thirty-six new nurses in obstetrics rotation in 2019 were selected as the observation group, trained by the simulation teaching method based on Miller pyramid theory, and 32 new nurses in 2018 were selected as the control group, following the traditional training method. After the study, t test was used to compare the theoretical examination scores, operational assessment results, clinical comprehensive quality, and training satisfaction of the two groups. Results:The scores of theoretical examinations, operational assessments, clinical comprehensive quality in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group, ( P<0.05, P<0.001), and the training satisfaction of the experimental group was over 88%. Conclusion:Simulation teaching based on Miller Pyramid Theory is beneficial for new obstetric nurses to understand and apply professional theoretical knowledge, improve their obstetric operation skills and ability of solving practical clinical problems, and improve their training satisfaction.

To investigate the effect of immature dendritic cells (iDCs) on experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG), iDCs were generated in low dose of GM-CSF, and then they were pulsed with acetylcholine receptor (AchR) and transferred to allogeneic rats. After 3 weeks, all rats were immunized with AchR and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and observed for the corresponding indices of MG for 7 weeks. Our results showed that compared with mature DCs (mDCs) generated at high dose of GM-CSF plus additional stimulation by lipopolysaccharide, iDCs expressed significantly lower levels of MHC-Ⅱ , CD80 and CD86, and their ability to uptake FITC-Dextran was stronger but the ability of stimulating proliferation of allogeneic T cells were weaker. Like controls,after immunization, all rats transferred with iDCs, mDCs and AchR-pulsed mDCs showed typical symptoms in 4 to 7 weeks. The amplitude of electromyogram wave dropped obviously, the level of serum AchRab increased and neuromuscular junction showed typical damage of MG. In contrast, no conspicuous changes were noted in rats transferred with AchR-pulsed iDCs. The results suggest that iDCs could be generated by inducing bone marrow precursors in low dose of GM-CSF, AchRpulsed iDCs could induce tolerance of EAMG. The dysfunction of DCs may play an important role in the initiation and maintenance of normal immune response in MG.
