Objective To explore the clinical new ways to repair the soft tissue defect of upper lip.Methods The soft tissue defect of upper lip caused by various reason were repaired with the buccal region of nasolabial groove flap.The size of flap was designed based on the range of soft tissue defect and located in the buccal region along nasolabial groove.The maximum scale of flaps between the length and width were 2∶1 and slit to the SMAS layer.The soft tissue defect of upper lip was repaired by direct vicinity aversion of the flap.The wound after the flap diversion was direct sut in favour of propulsion of the flap and relief the tension of flap pedicle.Results The flaps completely survived in 15 cases without obviously scar accrementition.The cosmetic result were satisfactory.Conclusion The buccal region of nasolabial groove flap is characterized by simple designation,easy dissection,reliable blood supply with the vascular net of fascia without well-known blood vessel damaged and repaired by direct vicinity aversion.Therefore,it is an ideal new method to repair the soft tissue defect of upper lip.

Objective To explore the methods for training the abitity of critical thinking of ICU nurses.Methods ICU nurses were trained in terms of knowledge training, case study, care rounds, self-reflection, case discussion, simulation training and seminars. The Chinese version of the critical thinking disposition inventory(CTDI-CV)was used before and one year after the training.Result The scores on CTDI-CV as well as the items after training were all significantly higher than that before training(P<0.05).Conclusion The knowledge and ability in critical thinking can be improved by knowledge and skills training.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to make a comparison between extraction and non-extraction orthodontic treatment results concerning teeth alignment, occlusal relation, facial profile and treatment interval.

METHODS39 extraction-non-extraction borderline cases were selected by 5 orthodontic specialists through reviewing their pre-treatment records. 5 specialists were then asked to rank the results by marking the post-treatment record of each case. And then the samples were divided into different groups according to extraction, non-extraction and extraction pattern by reviewing case history.

RESULTSNo statistically significant difference was found in teeth alignment, overbite and overjet, midline symmetry, lateral occlusal relation and treatment intervals. However, the post-treatment facial profile of extraction groups obtained higher marks from 5 specialists (P = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONWhile both extraction and non-extraction treatment can achieve comparable results in teeth alignment and occlusal relation with equivalent time interval in borderline cases, extraction treatment, whatever extraction of four first premolars or second premolars is performed, can achieve better facial profile.

Objective To identify primary gout biomarkers. Methods Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technique combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to screen differentially expressed proteins, and to identify potential biomarkers by analysis of the biological process, cellular components, molecular functions, KEGG pathways and protein-protein interactions. Difference between two groups were measured byt test. Results We identified 95 differentially expressed proteins (50 up-regulated proteins and 45 down-regulated proteins, respectively), and 20 significant KEGG pathways. Among them, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), α-enolase (ENOA), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1), glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (G6PI) and moesin might play a role in the pathogenesis of primary gout. Conclusion iTRAQ technology can detect differentially expressed proteins from proteome, provides a strong theoretical basis for the study of biomarkers and evidence for the mechanisms in primary gout. However, further studies are needed.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of triethanolamine cream in the treatment of skin ulcer. MethodsA multicenter,single-blind,randomized,positive-control study was conducted.One-hundred and twenty patients aging 18-65 years with skin ulcer were randomly classified into the test and control group at a ratio of 2 ∶ 1 to be treated with triethanolamine cream and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel respectively for 4 weeks.The healing rate of ulcer,granulation tissue production rate and epithelialization rate were calculated.Results After the beginning of treatment,the condition of all patients was improved with time.In total,76 out of 80 triethanolamine-treated patients and 38 out of 40 basic fibroblast growth factor gel-treated patients completed the 4-week trial.Significant differences were observed in the healing rate of ulcer,epithelialization rate and granulation tissue production rate between the test and control group (71.05％ vs.34.21％,P =0.0002; 85％ vs.50％,P =0.0001; 66.25％ vs.37.5％,P =0.0035).No adverse events occurred in any of the patients.Conclusions Triethanolamine cream seems superior to recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel with regard to the healing rate of ulcer,epithelialization rate and granulation tissue production rate,and may be a promising drug for the treatment of skin ulcer.

Objective:Serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) is a useful biomarker of bacterial infection. However, the diagnostic value of sTREM-1 of alveolar fluid in pulmonary infection is still unclear. This article aimed to explore the value of sTREM-1 of alveolar fluid in the early diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by systematic review of relevant literatures.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed/Medline and Embase databases were retrieved. Articles on diagnosis of VAP by sTREM-1 before June 30, 2019 were collected. QUADAS-2 scale provided by Cochrane Collaboration Network was used to evaluate the quality of diagnostic experiments. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 13.0 software were used to complete Meta-analysis. The levels of sTREM-1 between VAP and non-VAP patients were analyzed by Meta-analysis, and then diagnostic test Meta-analysis was conducted. Heterogeneity, sensitivity and publication bias were analyzed.Results:A total of 24 articles were enrolled. QUADAS-2 scale indicated that the selected literature had low bias and high clinical adaptability. ① In Meta-analysis of sTREM-1 level in alveolar fluid, 20 articles were selected and found to have high heterogeneity ( I2 = 94.4%, P = 0.000). The random effects models were used for Meta-analysis. It was indicated that the sTREM-1 level in alveolar fluid of VAP group was significantly higher than that of non-VAP group with significant difference [standardized mean difference ( SMD) was 1.47, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.00-1.95, Z = 6.14, P = 0.000]. By subgroup analysis and Meta-regression analysis, no source of heterogeneity was found. Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of this Meta-analysis were robust and credible, and Begg funnel plot analysis showed that there was no significant publication bias ( Z = 1.46, P = 0.143). ② A total of 18 articles were included in the Meta-analysis of diagnostic experiments. Deek funnel plot showed publication bias ( P = 0.012). The combined sensitivity was 0.87 (95% CI was 0.81-0.91), specificity was 0.80 (95% CI was 0.73-0.86), and diagnostic odds ratio ( DOR) was 26 (95% CI was 13-50). Subgroup analysis of three different sources of alveolar fluid (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, endotracheal aspiration fluid and exhaled ventilator condensate) showed that STREM-1 had a certain value in early diagnosis of VAP. The I2 of combined DOR was 35.4%, and I2 of sensitivity was 79.46%, I2 of specificity was 77.61%, suggesting heterogeneity in the selected literature. Subgroup analysis found that nationality, subject design, sample source, sample size and diagnostic "gold criteria" were related to heterogeneity, but not age. The area under synthetic receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve (AUC) was 0.90 (95% CI was 0.87-0.92). Conclusions:The detection of sTREM-1 level in alveolar fluid can be used for the early diagnosis of VAP with high sensitivity and specificity. If combined with other biomarkers, it may have more diagnostic value.

OBJECTIVETo provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases by the analysis of existing major occupational hazards and health conditions of workers in a large shipbuilding factory.

METHODSField investigation of occupational conditions was conducted to examine the existence of occupational hazards from 2009 to 2012 in a large shipbuilding factory, and then the results of physical examination among its workers were analyzed.

RESULTSOther than the metal dust (total dust), the levels of other dusts and manganese dioxide were beyond the national standard to various degrees, and through a sampling point detection, it was found that the levels of manganese dioxide exceeded the standard by 42.8%. The maximum time-weighted average concentration in individuals was 27.927 mg/m(3), much higher than the national standard limit. For harmful gas detection in individuals, xylene was 38.4%above the standard level (the highest concentration reached 1447.7 mg/m(3)); moreover, both toluene and ethylbenzene exceeded the national standard at different levels. Among the noise-exposed workers, 71%worked in the environment where the daily noise was above the limit of the national standard (85 dB). Physical examinations in 2010 and 2012 showed that the abnormal rate of audiometry in workers was higher than 15%.

CONCLUSIONDust (total dust), manganese dioxide, benzene, and noise are the main occupational hazards among the workers in the large shipbuilding factory, and strict protection and control for these hazards should be implemented for the workers in the factory.

Objective: To describe the dermoscopic features of extramammary Paget′s disease (EMPD) and chronic eczema of the vulva, and to explore the value of dermoscopy in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the above diseases. Methods: Dermoscopic images were collected from 20 patients with histopathologically confirmed vulvar EMPD and 16 patients with clinically confirmed chronic eczema of the vulva in Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Pekin Union Medical College from January 2017 to April 2018, and retrospectively analyzed. Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the prevalence of dermoscopic features between the two groups. Results: As dermoscopy showed, the milky red background was observed in 19 EMPD patients and in only 1 patient with chronic eczema, and there was a significant difference in the prevalence of milky red background between the two groups (P < 0.001) . White scales were the most common desquamation, and were observed in 9 EMPD patients and 13 patients with chronic eczema (P = 0.128) . Blood vessels were uniformly distributed in EMPD patients, including dotted-globular vessels in 19 and linear vessels in 14, while blood vessels were distributed in a patchy or clustered pattern in the patients with chronic eczema, including dotted-globular vessels in 16 and linear vessels in 7. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of different distribution patterns of blood vessels between the two groups (P < 0.001) . Bright white streaks, bright white structureless area and reticular structure were observed in 19, 20 and 19 EMPD patients respectively, and in 1, 1 and 1 patient with chronic eczema respectively, and there were significant differences in the prevalence of the above 3 structures between the two diseases (all P < 0.001) . Conclusion Vulvar EMPD and chronic eczema both show characteristic dermoscopic features, and dermoscopy is of great value to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of EMPD.
