Objective To probe into application of clinical pathway on clinical practice teach-ing in thoracic surgery , and evaluate its effect . Methods 76 students were randomized into two groups: 35 students who accepted clinical pathway teaching were the experimental group, they were asked to carry out clinical practice in accordance with the teaching pathway;and the other 41 students were control group. The final examination included four parts: ①theoretical examination account for 20%of the total score. The test paper was randomly combined from the standardized question bank of Xinjiang Medical University, and this test included single choice questions and fill-in questions; ②clinical operational skills test account for 30%of the total score. This part included pleural puncture, dressing change, stitches remove, incision disinfection and surgical draping, and all of these opera-tions were carried out on medical patient simulators; ③clinical case analysis account for 50% of the total score. This part involved history collection, physical examination, humanistic care, case writing, diagnosis and treatment planning for new admission patients. T-test of independent samples was used to analyze all the scores of the two groups. Results The clinical case analysis score and the total score in experimental group [(42.26 ±3.93) points and (81.69 ±6.16) points, respectively]were obviously higher than that in control group[(38.88±4.76) points and(77.39±6.83) points, respectively];There were significant differences between the two groups(P values was 0.001 and 0.006, respectively). Conclusion Application of clinical pathway in clinical practice teaching may improve the effect of clinical teaching. The pathway contents and evaluation methods should be constantly improved accord-ing to teaching practice.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(7):1008-1011
Objective:
To explore the relationship of sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students, and to analyze its mediating role of daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol ability, so as to provide a scientific reference for improving middle school students mental health.
Methods:
From October to November, 2023, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Adolescent Social Rejection Questionnaire, Brief Selfcontrol Scale and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scaleshort Form (DERS-16) were used to assess 806 students recruited from four middle schools in Bengbu City by a convenient cluster random sampling method. And model-6 of PROCESS and 5 000 Bootstraps were used to make a chainmediating model analysis.
Results:
Daytime dysfunction was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.57), social rejection(r=0.19), selfcontrol(r=0.29, P<0.01). Selfcontrol was positively correlated with emotional regulation difficulties(r=0.54, P<0.01).Poor sleep quality showed a significant positive association with on daytime dysfunction, and daytime dysfunction further affected social rejection, selfcontrol ability and emotional regulation difficulties (β=0.86, 0.60, 1.27, 1.56, P<0.05). Meanwhile, daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol played a serial mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties (Estimate=0.11,95%CI=0.04-0.20,P<0.05).
Conclusion
The study reveals the complex relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students and provides a new theoretical basis for adolescent sleep improvement and mental health interventions.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and pleurodesis for spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods A retrospective analysis of 157 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax undergoing VATS from January 2012 to March 2016 in our hospital was done. According to different treatments, patients were divided into two groups: a group A (65 patients receving pleurodesis, 52 males and 13 females with a mean age of 34.77 years ranging from 17 to 73 years) and a group B (92 patients without pleurodesis, 76 males and 16 females with a mean age of 34.66 years ranging from 16 to 72 years). In the group A 29 patients underwent closed thoracic drainage; while in the group B there were 39 patients. Results The patients were followed up for 3 months to 4 years. The recurrence rate of the group A was lower than that of the group B, but the difference was not statistically significant. For patients receving closed thoracic drainage preoperatively, intraoperative drainage volume at postoperative 24 h in the group A was more than that of the group B, but postoperative hospital stay was less than that of the group B (P<0.05). For patients not receving closed thoracic drainage preoperatively, drainage volume at postoperative 24 h, total drainage volume, postoperative hospital stay in the group A were more than those of the group B (P<0.05). Conclusion Pleurodesis can not reduce the recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax. Preoperative closed thoracic drainage combined with intraoperative pleurodesis can effectively reduce postoperative hospitalization; therefore pleurodesis is recommended. If preoperative closed thoracic drainage is not adopted, surgery without pleurodesis can effectively reduce thoracic drainage at postoperative 24 h, total drainage volume and hospital stay and the perioperative results are better; therefore mechanical pleurodesis is not recommended.
