Objective:To establish an indicator system of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for entering residency, and to provide support for targeted training and ability evaluation of entering residency.Methods:Based on the existing indicator systems of EPAs for entering residency in China and globally, two rounds of Delphi consultation were performed to identify and optimize the indicators for EPAs. The scores of indicators were evaluated using means and coefficient of variation, and the degree of expert authority and Kendall's W coefficient were used to test the reliability of results.Results:A total of 17 indicators for EPAs were established, which defined the entrustable level of each EPA that residents should reach at the time of entry and at the end of the first year.Conclusions:This study preliminarily establishes an indicator system of EPAs for entering residency.

Objective To investigate the initial manifestation and disease onset feature of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) in the past ten years in fifteen hospitals in Jiangsu Province.Methods Data was collected by the same Methodsin all the participated hospitals and then it was summarized for retrospective analysis.Two groups were compared by chi-square test.Results ① One thousand nine hundred and fifty eight patients were investigated and the male-to-female ratio was 1∶15.0.② One thousand seven hundred and ninty eight patients had clear initial manifestations.The most common initial manifestations were skin and mucosal lesions(769 cases,42.8％ ) and arthritis (697 cases,38.8％ ).The main skin lesion was malar rash (706 cases).Arthritis was found to be more common in female than male.③ All hospitalized patients at their first admission showed multiple organ/system involvement:the most common involvement was skin and mucous membrane (82.3％),hematologic damage (74.0％),in which at least one series of blood cells were involved,arthritis (1156 cases,56.5％ ) much more than myositis (51 cases),proteinuria 1046 cases and hematuria in 385 cases.Renal biopsy pathology showed type Ⅳ glomerulonephritis.Conclusion ① SLE patients are mainly female and the male to female ratio is 1∶15.0.② The most common initial manifestations are skin and mucosal lesions.③ The most commonly involved organ/system are skin and mucous membrane,blood,joint and kidney.The most common pathological changes shown in renal biopsy is type Ⅳ glomerulonephritis.

Objective To explore the relationship between the impairment of hematological system and disease activity,immunological parameters,and the prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods The clinical and laboratory data of in-patients with SLE in Jiangsu Province were investigated and all patients were hospitalized between 1999-2009.The impairment of hematological system was assessed and the relationship between hematological system damage and disease activity,immunological parameters,mortality rate of patients with SLE were analyzed.Statistic method used was X2 test.Results One thousand nine hundred and fifty eight cases of SLE were included in the study,in which,1836 were female and 122 were male.One thousand five hundred and forty nine (79.1%) patients complicated with hematological system damage,62.3% were anemia,45.5% with leucopenia and 29.4% with thrombocytopenia.There were significant differences in hematological system damage rate among patients with mild activity group,moderate activity group,severe activity group and almost no activity group,compared respectively with almost no activity group.The P values were P=0.01 and P＜0.01 respectively.The incidence of hematological system damage in elevated ESR,low complement C3 level,anti-dsDNA antibody group was higher than that in patients who had normal ESR,complement C3 level and anti-dsDNA group.(P＜0.01).During follow-up,166 patients died,of which the mortality rate(91.6%) in patients had hematological system damage,was obviously higher than those without hematological damage(8.4%)(P＜0.01 ).Among the 166 deceased patients,38.6% died of severe infection,22.9% died ofrenal failure,15.1% died ofnervous system damage,10.2% died of cadiovascular damage and 13.3% died from other causes.Conclusion Hematological system is one of the most commonly involved system in patients with SLE,of which anemia is the most common,and the incidence of leukopenia follows.The impairment of hematological system is closely related to lupus activity.Patients with abnormal immune parameters tend to have secondary hematological system damage.Severe infection is the main cause of death in patients with lupus,followed by nervous system damage and kidney damage.The mortality rate in patients with lupus that complicated hematological system damage is higher than patients who have no hematological system damage.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of complement C3 with clinical and serological features of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.MethodsData was collected by the same methods in the past ten years in fifteen hospitals in Jiangsu Province and then data weres summarized for retrospective analysis.Clinical and laboratory data were selected and then analyzed by Chi-square test,Wilcoxon rank sum test and Logistic regression.ResultsOne thousand four hundred and five patients were investigated.One thousand and forty two had low serum complement C3 level.In this case control study,hospitalization age,disease course,admission times,pleurisy,gastrointestinal involvement,general lymphadenopathy/hepatosplenomegaly,white blood cell count, haemoglobin level,platelet count, serum C-reactive protein level,serum albumin level,serum creatinine level,Urine protein quantification,anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA),anti-dsDNAantibodies, anti-SmantibodiesandSLEDAIscore were possible factors associatedwith complement C3 reduction(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that CRP (OR=0.396,0.254-0.617,P=0.000),ANA (OR=2.907,1.267-6.670,P=0.012),urine protein level(OR=1.702,1.043-2.779,P=0.033) and SLEDAI score (OR-0.930, 0.886-0.975,P-0.003) were correlated with complement C3 reduction.Conclusion Complement C3 level is valuable for lupus flare assessment.The complement C3 reduction is a risk factor for renal impairment.
