The present study analyzes the use of the online teaching platform of China Medical University during the COVID-19 epidemic, excavates the teaching difficulties encountered in online teaching, and shares the experience of implementing "1+M" mode of mixed online teaching platform by introducing a variety of online teaching platforms. Monitoring of teaching quality has been initiated on time, and the key tasks of online teaching have been straightened out in time, which has effectively improved the quality of online teaching, providing references and basis for further advancing the reform of higher medical education in China.

Objective:In order to provide guidance strategies for the establishment and application of self-report inventory in nursing research, we discussed the mental response model regarding tested nurses during its application.Methods:From September to November 2020, based on the grounded theory, we conducted semi-structured interviews for 9 tested nurses, who were from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Jinan Central Hospital, and data were analyzed to extract the psychological response topic.Results:A response model for tested nurses, which formed three psychological responses that factored in exam motivation, exam situation and individual will was built.Conclusion:The present study reveals the correlations among exam motivation, exam situation, individual will and psychological responses during the application of self-report inventory on tested nurses, which could provide references for the establishment and application of self-report scale in nursing research.

OBJECTIVETo establish a high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based method for efficient determination of melamine in urinary calculi in children taking melamine-contaminated formula milk powder.

METHODSLC/MS was employed to determine the contents of melamine in urinary calculi surgically removed from 17 children with a history of taking melamine-contaminated milk powder and in 4 samples of uric acid stone from adults. The positive ionization mode of electro-spray ionization source was used, and the limit of melamine determination was 0.1 mg/kg.

RESULTSNo melamine was detected in the 4 uric acid stone samples from adults. Melamine was detected in 4 samples of urinary calculi from the 17 children, with the concentration ranging from 0.8 to 64 mg/lkg.

CONCLUSIONLC/MS is simple and effective for detecting melamine in urinary calculi, which is helpful to the treatment and follow-up.

As the operation volume in hospitals is increasing year by year, surgical instruments are widely used, which pose a great challenge to the daily management of surgical instruments. The authors investigated the existing problems which occurred in the management of surgical instruments, and came out with instruments coding navigation index and specialized placement scheme for the operating room as solutions. The specific measures included dividing sterile items into specialized categories, setting cabinets respectively for specialized and general subjects, building equipment coding and identification, establishing surgical instruments navigation index and carrying out training program, to serve as reference for efficient and fine management of surgical instruments.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of using flat-sided culture tubes for preparing chromosomes through chorionic villi (CV) and amniotic fluid (AF) cell cultures during prenatal diagnosis. METHODS: From February to March 2020, 157 CV samples and 147 AF samples subjected to prenatal diagnosis at the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were selected as the study subjects. For each sample, one flat-sided tube and one flask culture were set up by following the standard protocols. The methods were evaluated by comparing the cell growth, experimental process, quality of chromosome preparation and costs. RESULTS: The success rates for the culturing of CV and AF samples by the flat-sided culture tube method were 97.45% (153/157) and 97.96% (144/147), respectively. By contrast, the success rates for the conventional flask method were 98.72% (155/157) for CV and 98.64% (145/147) for AF samples. No significant difference was found between the two methods (P > 0.05). The average harvest time required by the flat-sided culture tube method was 8.45 days for CV and 9.43 days for AF cultures, whilst the average harvest time for conventional flask method was 9.05 days and 9.54 days, respectively. The flat-sided culture tube method for CV had required significantly shorter average harvest time than the conventional method (P < 0.001). No statistical significant difference was found in the average harvest time for AF by the two methods (P > 0.05). The conventional culturing method had required three containers with two sample transfers. By contrast, the flat-sided culture tube method was carried out in one tube without any sample transfer. The average total amount of medium used was 3.91 mL for each flat-sided culture tube and 6.26 mL for each conventional flask. CONCLUSION The flat-sided culture tube method can provide a simple, cost-effective and error-reducing procedure for the CV and AF samples culture during prenatal diagnosis.
