Objective To investigate the application effect of the new trinity teaching mode of clinical practice,which combines bedside teaching,simulation teaching and web-based teaching to-gether. Methods Totally 375 students of clinical medicine,enrolled into Guangzhou Medical Univer-sity in 2006,were randomly divided into department I of clinical medicine (control group,188 stu-dents)and department II of clinical medicine (experimental group,187 students). The students of these two groups were taught respectively with the conventional bedside teaching mode and the trinity teaching mode. Then at the end of clinical practice,assessment results of comprehensive theory and clinical skill in the graduation exam were compared by t test (significance level α=0.05)using SPSS 17.0 software and the questionnaire results of students in experimental group were analyzed. Results There were statistical differences in comprehensive theory and clinical skill assessment scores between two groups(P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed an approval rate of 92.73%(153/165)for trini-ty teaching mode. Conclusions Facing the shortage of clinical teaching resources,the trinity teach-ing mode is better than the simple bedside teaching mode. The trinity teaching mode can alleviate the pressure brought by the lack of clinical teaching resources at present,create more learning and prac-ticing opportunities for students,and improve the effects of clinical practice teaching.

Objective To build a scientific,rational and practical evaluation index system for medical tutors.Methods Evaluation framework was initially constructed on the basis of literature analysis.Two rounds questionnaires investigation were conducted soon using Delphi method and the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis,independent samples of non-parametric test (Kreskas-Wallis test),expert reliability analysis,analytic hierarchy process and other methods.Results The results of two rounds of expert questionnaires showed that both recovery rate and acceptance rate of the questionnaires were more than 90％ and overall expert coefficient was 0.8957.The coordinate coefficient of the second-class index was 0.181,x2 =27.148,P ＜ 0.001,and that of the third-class index was 0.157,x2 =127.03,P ＜ 0.001.Experts' opinions were highly consistent.Conclusions Evaluation index system including three first-class indexes,seven second-class indexes and twenty-eight third-class indexes was established for medical tutors.The evaluation index system is of great importance in safeguarding postgraduate culturing quality and strengthening teaching staff construction.

According the development requirement of medical imaging skill,centered on diseases,we discussed the teaching reform of imaging diagnostics course,including the optimized integration of the course,bilingual teaching,teaching methods,format of subject test and strengthening practice teaching,hoping to improve the whole team' professional quality.

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that activation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxidase-1(Nrf2/HO-1)pathway can alleviate oxidative stress caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury,but whether human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSC)can activate Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is still lacking relevant studies. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether intracranial transplantation of hBMSC alleviates oxidative stress injury in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion animal models by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. METHODS:Totally 40 male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,hBMSC transplantation group,hBMSC+solvent group and hBMSC+Nrf2 inhibitor group.Each group consisted of eight animals.In the model group and the hBMSC transplantation group,middle cerebral artery occlusion model was prepared by thread embolization method.The thread embolization was removed 1 hour later,and 30 μL PBS or hBMSC cultured to at least passage 5 was injected into the right cortex and striatum of rats.In the hBMSC+Nrf2 inhibitor group and hBMSC+solvent group,the left ventricle was injected with Nrf2 inhibitor Brusatol and its solvent dimethyl sulfoxide respectively 24 hours before model establishment,then the middle cerebral artery occlusion model was prepared,and hBMSC was injected.Relevant indexes were detected 3 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)CT and TTC staining showed the same area and volume of cerebral infarction:model group>hBMSC+Nrf2 inhibitor group>hBMSC+solvent group>hBMSC transplantation group>sham operation group.(2)Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl's staining showed that the ischemic brain tissue was intact and the neurons were normal in the sham operation group.Compared with the model group,the pathological morphology and neuronal injury of the hBMSC transplantation group and the hBMSC+solvent group were significantly improved.Compared with the hBMSC+solvent group,the hBMSC+Nrf2 inhibitor group had more serious pathological morphology and neuronal damage.(3)Western blot assay and oxidative stress index detection results showed that compared with the sham operation group,Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins were decreased(all P<0.05),malondialdehyde was increased and superoxide dismutase was decreased(all P<0.05)in the model group.Compared with the model group,the expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins were increased(all P<0.05),malondialdehyde was decreased and superoxide dismutase was increased(all P<0.05)in the hBMSC transplantation group and the hBMSC+solvent group.Compared with the hBMSC+solvent group,the expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins were simultaneously decreased(all P<0.05),and malondialdehyde was increased and superoxide dismutase was decreased(all P<0.05)in the hBMSC+Nrf2 inhibitor group.(4)These results indicate that hBMSC can alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury possibly by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Objective To construct clinical imaging model,radiomics model,and a combined model based on the above two for predicting lymph node metastasis(LNM)of colon cancer(CC),and to compare the diagnostic performance of each model.Methods The data from 328 CC patients confirmed by surgical pathology were analyzed retrospectively,including 156 with LNM.All patients were randomly divided into training group(229 cases)and validation group(99 cases)at a ratio of 7∶3.The difference of clinical imaging indicators were compared between groups and a clinical imaging model for diagnosing LNM was constructed.The tumor three-dimensional volume of interest(VOI)was used for radiomics feature extraction,and after dimensionality reduction and selection,8 features were obtained to construct the Radiomics score(Radscore).A combined model of clinical imaging indicators and Radscore was built.The diagnostic performance of each model for LNM was compared,and the calibration and clinical benefit of the optimal model were evaluated.Results There were statistical differences in clinical imaging indicators between the two groups:carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),CA199,tumor long diameter,and lymph node short diameter(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the clinical imaging model,radiomics model,and combined model were 0.721,0.814,0.854(training group),and 0.744,0.732,0.808(validation group),respectively.The AUC of the combined model was the highest,and both the training and validation groups were higher than that of the clinical imaging model(P＜0.05).The combined model demonstrated higher calibration,with a clinical benefit from decision curve analysis(DCA)threshold range of 0.09 to 0.91.Conclusion The nomogram constructed based on clinical imaging indicators and CT radiomics holds high value in diagnosing LNM of CC.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of calf self weight traction reduction combined with locking plate fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical records of 174 elderly patients with the modified Evans Ⅰ-Ⅲ types of fresh intertrochanteric fractures treated with locking plate from January 2012 to December 2015.According to treatment method,the patients were assigned to traction bed reduction with locking plate fixation (Group A,62 patients) and calf self weight traction reduction with locking plate fixation (Group B,112 patients).Group A comprised 32 males and 30 females,with age range of 65-91 years [(72.47 ± 6.35) years].Group B comprised 68 males and 44 females,with age range of 65-95 years [(73.23 ± 6.05) years].The time of reduction,operation time,incision length,intraoperative blood loss,frequency of fluoroscopy,postoperative drainage volume,hospital stay,postoperative weightbearing standing time or walking time (ambulation time),surgical complications,and fracture healing were recorded.Harris and modified Barthel index score in Chinese (MBI-C) were used to evaluate the functional recovery of hip joint.Results All patients were followed up for 5-61 months (mean,15 months),and noted with fracture healing.The time of reduction in Group A was (13.27 ± 3.03) minutes,longer than that in Group B (0 minute) (P ＜0.05).The operation time in Group A was (63.63 ± 13.90)minutes,longer than that in Group B [(59.62 ± 8.38) minutes] (P ＜ 0.05).Fluoroscopy in Group A was (5.35 ± 2.36) times,more than (4.28 ± 3.11) times in Group B (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the incision length,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,ambulation time,fracture healing time,Harris score,and MBI-C index between the two groups (P ＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the postoperative complications such as deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary infection,incisional infection,urinary tract infection,delirium,bed sores,cardiac insufficiency,electrolyte disturbance,and postoperative plate rupture between the two groups (P＞0.05).The incidence of deep vein thrombosis was 9.7％ (6/62) in Group A,and 4.5％ (5/112) in Group B (P ＞0.05).No screw fracture,nail and plate combination failure,bone nonunion,or screw cut out of the femoral head were observed in both groups.Conclusions For the modified Evans Ⅰ-Ⅲ types of intertrochanteric fractures,both traction bed reduction and calf weight reduction with locking plate have equivalent efficacy.However,the latter method has advantages of shorter reduction and operation time and less intraoperative X-ray exposure,and hence is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To systematically evaluate the postoperative complications following open reduction and internal fixation combined with vascularized bone flap graft versus only reduction and internal fixation for femoral neck fractures.Methods CNKI,Wan Fang Chinese database,Pubmed,EMBASE and Google Scholar English database were searched for the randomized controlled trials from January 1,2000 through October 31,2017 which compared open reduction and internal fixation combined with vascularized bone flap graft (combined surgery group) with only reduction and internal fixation (simple surgery group) for femoral neck fractures.The data concerning postoperative nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral head were extracted.The 2 surgical treatments of the patients with femoral neck fracture were compared in terms of the 2 complications.Statistical analyses were conducted using software Stata 12 by relative risk (RR) and corresponding 95％ confidence intervals (95％ CI).Results According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria,a total of 23 studies were included,involving 2,162 cases (1,048 cases receiving combined surgery and 1,114 cases simple surgery).The Meta analyses showed that the fracture nonunion rate for the combined surgery group was significantly lower than that for the simple surgery group [RR =0.27,95％ CI(0.19,0.38),P ＜ 0.001] and the rate of avascular necrosis was also significantly lower for the former than for the latter [RR =0.31,95 ％ CI(0.24,0.42),P ＜ 0.001].Conclusion In the treatment of femoral neck fractures,open reduction and internal fixation combined with vascularied bone graft may lead to lower rates of nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral head than simple open reduction and internal fixation.

Objective:To monitor and evaluate in vivo dose changes of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with cervical cancer in a real-time manner. Methods:Twelve patients with cervical cancer admitted to our hospital were enrolled in this study. The in vivo doses were monitored by PerFRACTION?. Electronic portal imaging device (EPID) were collected in each treatment fraction for two-dimensional in vivo dose verification[γ index and dose difference (DD) index]. Log files were recorded for three-dimensional in vivo dose verification (γ index). The correlation between in vivo dose and treatment duration was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:A total of 206 sets of EPID images and corresponding Log files were collected. The three-dimensional in vivo dose verification γ 1%/1mm of all patients was not correlated with treatment fraction ( P>0.05). Among them, the absolute difference of γ 1%/1mm of 94.66% fractions was< 1%. The mean DD 3% of two-dimensional in vivo dose verification of all patients was negatively correlated with treatment fraction ( P<0.05). Among which, the average γ 3%/3mm of 9 patients was>89% in the treatment fractions, and the average γ 3%/3mm of 98.57% fractions of these 9 patients was>93%. The other 3 patients had an average γ 3%/3mm ranged from 38% to 100%. CBCT images showed that the bladder volume of these 3 patients was significantly decreased with the relative changes by 82.08%, 84.41% and 73.59%, respectively, and the target area was retracted significantly with the relative changes by 38.12%, 59.79% and 24.46%, respectively. Conclusion:Combined with γ index and DD index, PerFRACTION? can monitor the mechanical stability of accelerator and MU delivery accuracy during treatment fractions, and monitor the changes of in vivo dose in patients with cervical cancer, which can improve the safety and quality assurance of IMRT for cervical cancer patients and provide guidance for patients with adaptive radiotherapy.

Background::Histological healing is closely associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes and lowered relapses in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Here, we developed a novel diagnostic criterion for assessing histological healing in UC patients.Methods::We conducted a retrospective cohort study in UC patients, whose treatment was iteratively optimized to achieve mucosal healing at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital of Tongji University from January 2017 to May 2022. We identified an inflammatory cell enumeration index (ICEI) for assessing histological healing based on the proportions of eosinophils, CD177 + neutrophils, and CD40L + T cells in the colonic lamina propria under high power field (HPF), and the outcomes (risks of symptomatic relapses) of achieving histological remission vs. persistent histological inflammation using Kaplan-Meier curves. Intrareader reliability and inter-reader reliability were evaluated by each reader. The relationships to the changes in the Nancy index and the Geboes score were also assessed for responsiveness. The ICEI was further validated in a new cohort of UC patients from other nine university hospitals. Results::We developed an ICEI for clinical diagnosis of histological healing, i.e., Y = 1.701X 1 + 0.758X 2 + 1.347X 3 - 7.745 (X 1, X 2, and X 3 represent the proportions of CD177 + neutrophils, eosinophils, and CD40L + T cells, respectively, in the colonic lamina propria under HPF). The receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) analysis revealed that Y <-0.391 was the cutoff value for the diagnosis of histological healing and that an area under the curve (AUC) was 0.942 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.905-0.979) with a sensitivity of 92.5% and a specificity of 83.6% ( P <0.001). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the intrareader reliability was 0.855 (95% CI: 0.781-0.909), and ICEI had good inter-reader reliability of 0.832 (95% CI: 0.748-0.894). During an 18-month follow-up, patients with histological healing had a substantially better outcome compared with those with unachieved histological healing ( P <0.001) using ICEI. During a 12-month follow-up from other nine hospitals, patients with histological healing also had a lower risk of relapse than patients with unachieved histological healing. Conclusions::ICEI can be used to predict histological healing and identify patients with a risk of relapse 12 months and 18 months after clinical therapy. Therefore, ICEI provides a promising, simplified approach to monitor histological healing and to predict the prognosis of UC.Registration::Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, No. ChiCTR2300077792.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.
