Objective To discuss the role of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenas e (IDO) and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TTS) mediated tryptophan catabolism in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients treated with high doses of dexamethasone through the expressions of IDO and TTS in T cells , and the concentrations of plasma kynurenine and tryptophan. Methods 20 newly diagnosed or relapse ITP patients were treated with 40 mg/d × 4 d dose of dexamethasone. The heparin anticoagulant blood samples were obtained before treatment and the 5th day after treatment. 20 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The IDO and TTS expressions in CD4+and CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The concentrations of plasma kynurenine and tryptophan were detected by liquid-mass spectrometry system. Results Compared with healthy controls group, the plasma tryptophan and kynurenine concentration and the ratio of Kyn/Trp were significantly elevated in ITP patients (P <0.05); the IDO expressions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in ITP patients were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (P < 0.05), but the TTS expressions were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The concentration of tryptophan in effective group was significantly lower than before treatment (P < 0.05), in contrast, the kynurenine concentration and the ratio of Kyn/Trp were significantly higher than before (P < 0.05). The expression of IDO in effective group were significantly higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), conversely, the expression of TTS in effective group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). No significant difference can be found in ineffective group. Conclusion IDO/TTS-mediated tryptophan catabolism pathway could indicate the onset of ITP. The sensitivity of ITP patients with high dose of dexamethasone treatment can be observed through the level of IDO and TTS.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)after heart transplantation(HT).Methods:For this retrospective cohort study, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 145 recipients undergoing HT at No.7 Municipal People's Hospital from April 2018 to December 2022.They were assigned into two groups of non-CRRT(n=124)and CRRT(n=21). And t, χ2or rank-sum test was utilized for comparing baseline data, intraoperative and postoperative general conditions of two groups.Variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis and significant indicators in previous studies were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to analyze the influencing factors of CRRT post-HT.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was utilized for selecting the optimal predictive cut-off value. Results:Among them, 66 cases(45.52%)developed AKI and 21(14.48%)required CRRT.Through univariate analysis, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), erythrocyte count, platelet, hemoglobin, total bilirubin, intraoperative volume of blood loss, volume of blood transfusion, urine volume, operative duration, cardiopulmonary bypass time, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay and postoperative acute kidney injury were compared.The inter-group differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). Further multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative hemoglobin level( OR=0.869, 95% CI: 0.770-0.980, P=0.022), preoperative platelet count( OR=0.959, 95% CI: 0.925-0.993, P=0.019), intraoperative volume of hemorrhage( OR=1.004, 95% CI: 1.000-1.009, P=0.049), intraoperative urine volume( OR=0.997, 95% CI: 0.993-1.000, P=0.035), operative duration( OR=1.022, 95% CI: 1.000-1.044, P=0.047)and mechanical ventilation time( OR=1.036, 95% CI: 1.005-1.069, P=0.024)were the independent influencing factors of CRRT post-HT.ROC curve results indicated that area under curve(AUC)of operative duration, mechanical ventilation time and intraoperative volume of hemorrhage were 0.745(95% CI: 0.636-0.855), 0.835(95% CI: 0.735-0.934)and 0.669(95% CI: 0.506-0.830)with a sensitivity of 0.714, 0.857, 0.571 and a specificity of 0.710, 0.685, 0.895.And the cut-off values were 283.5 min, 25.46 h and 825 ml respectively. Conclusions:Hemoglobin level, preoperative platelet count, intraoperative volume of hemorrhage, urine volume, operative duration, mechanical ventilation time and intraoperative urine volume are independent influencing factors of CRRT post-HT.Operative duration >283 min, mechanical ventilation time >25.46 h and intraoperative volume of hemorrhage >825 ml have some predictive values for CRRT post-HT.

The standardized residency training has become a necessary way to improve the overall professional quality of doctors. At present, a single teaching model can't meet the needs of the standardized residency training. This study explores the application of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) model in the general surgery teaching of standardized residency training, so that the residents can use their theoretical knowledge to think deeply about the problems in the cases. By consulting the literature review, the cases are analyzed from multiple levels and angles, such as pathogenic causes, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, then the clinic diagnosis and therapeutic schedule can be obtained. This kind of teaching model not only stimulates the group's more interest in learning, and improves the ability of autonomous learning, independent analysis, problem solving and language expression, but also significantly improves teaching satisfaction and has obvious teaching advantages.

Objective: To explore the new ideas and methods for training nurses, and improve the training effect of specialist nurses through the Internet + micro-course platform training model. Methods: Sixty-four nurses who participated in the training of specialist nurses in Department of Cardiology for 2017-2018 years were divided into two groups with 32 cases each according to the year. The control group received the traditional training mode, the experimental group applied the Internet + micro curriculum platform training mode, and after the training, two groups of students were investigated for nursing operation examination, theoretical examination, critical thinking scale, and feedback surveys were conducted to analyze the Internet + micro course platform training. Results: Before training, the theoretical examination, the operation examination, critical thinking scale were (85.78 ± 2.59), (85.66 ± 2.60), (347.50 ± 6.61) points in the experimental group and (86.75 ± 2.63), (86.38 ± 2.59), (348.81 ± 5.28) points in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). After training, the theoretical examination, the operation examination, critical thinking scale were (94.25 ± 1.75), (95.68 ± 2.02), (407.81 ± 5.45) points in the experimental group and (90.34 ± 1.40), (94.25 ± 1.75), (380.40 ± 11.20) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.572, -2.960, 12.445, all P <0.05). Conclusions The training mode of the Internet + micro course platform is superior to the traditional training mode, which can improve the critical thinking ability of the specialist nurses in Department of Cardiology, and is conductive to the training of clinical nurses′ ability of clinical strain.
