Objective To explore the effect of the clinical scenario-based simulation communication education based on Calgary-Cambridge Guide for undergraduate nursing students.Methods Totally 87 undergraduate nursing students were enrolled and divided into the experimental group (n=44) and the control group (n=43).The experimental group received clinical scenario-based simulation communication education based on Calgary-Cambridge Guide for communication.The control group received traditional class-based education for communication.The chnical communication skills questionnaire and Communication Observing Questionnaire were administered before and after the training.The testing results of both groups were compared.Results After participating in the education project,six dimensions of clinical communication competence and the total score were significantly improved after training compared with those before training in the experimental group.After training,the experimental group was better than the control group in establishment of harmonious relationship,confirming patients' problems,efficient information transfer,validation experience and communication competence,t values were 2.64,2.32,2.19,2.20 and 4.36,P< 0.05.In testing of integrated cases,scores of six aspects such as case design,information collection,explaining behavior,relationship development,conflict coordination and service behavior in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group,t values were 2.15,2.10,3.26,2.84,2.14 and 2.61,P<0.05.Conclusions The clinical scenario-based simulation education based on the Calgary-Cambridge Guide can improve communication competence of nursing students.

Objective To clone and characterize Profilin encoding genes in Amaranthus spinosus and to analyze the contribution of different amino acids in isoallergens to allergen antigenicity and tertiary structure. Methods The primers were designed according to the core sequences which were obtained by bioinformatic analysis of the known Profilin amino acid sequences, followed by gene cloning from the Ama- ranthus spinosus cDNA pool and subsequent confirmation by double-digestion, colony PCR and DNA sequen- cing. Antigenicity evaluation and tertiary structural modeling of the encoded protein were accomplished by online software MULTIPRED and SWISS-MODEL, respectively. Results Two panallergenic genes, named as PRF7 and PRF23, were acquired from Amaranthus spinosus. Sequence and structure analysis demonstra- ted that there was some discrepancy in tertiary structures of the encoded proteins, besides distinct difference in their amino acid sequences. PRF7 exhibited high homology with panallergen Profilins Q64LH0, with the identities 98%, whereas the homology of PRF23 and Q9XF42 (apple allergen) was 81%. Q64LH0 and PRF23 were modeled as 3nulA (Q42449) and lg5uB (Q9LE18), respectively. PRF23 exhibited distinct0 three dimensional structural difference in certain fragments compared with Q64LH0 and other Profilins. Though the average values of antigenicity displayed no difference between Q64LH0 and PRF23 on whole se- quences, the antigenicity of PRF23 on certain fragments was obviously lower than that of Q64LHO because of the alteration of some amino acids with different characters, implying the cause of lower incidence of hay fe- ver in South China than in North China. Conclusion Based on sequence analysis, antigenicity evaluation and tertiary structural modeling for Q64LH0 and PRF23, we obtained lots of useful information about the contribution of different amino acids to antigenicity and protein structures, thus would facilitate allergen ge- netic improvement by amino acid replacement.

Objective:To investigate the value of virtual touch tissue imaging quantitative (VTIQ) combined with serum thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) detection in predicting the recurrence of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) after breast preservation surgery.Methods:A total of 102 TNBC patients admitted to our hospital from May. 2020 to Apr. 2022 who underwent elective breast-preserving surgery were selected as the study objects. VTIQ was examined after surgery, shear wave velocity (SWV) was measured, and serum TK1 was detected. All patients were followed up after surgery, and tumor recurrence two years after surgery was statistically analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of tumor recurrence after TNBC breast-preserving preservation, and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of SWV and serum TK1 levels on tumor recurrence.Results:The tumor recurrence rate of 102 TNBC patients was 29.41% (30/102) at 2 years after breast-preserving surgery. The TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, the levels of SWV and TK1 in the relapsed group were higher ( χ2=4.42, χ2=6.41, t=6.97, t=6.15, all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis, SWV and serum TK1 level were influential factors for tumor recurrence at 2 years after breast-preserving surgery in TNBC patients ( OR=3.093, OR=3.501, OR=2.939, all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC values of SWV and serum TK1 levels and their combined detection in predicting tumor recurrence after breast-preserving in TNBC patients were 0.821, 0.778 and 0.869, respectively, the sensitivity was 66.67%, 73.33% and 83.33%, respectively, and the specificity was 81.94%, 76.39% and 79.17%, respectively. The combined detection of SWV and serum TK1 level was more effective than the single detection in predicting tumor recurrence in patients with TNBC after breast-preserving surgery. Conclusion:SWV and serum TK1 levels are related to tumor recurrence after TNBC, and can predict tumor recurrence, and the combined detection of the two indicators can improve the prediction efficiency of tumor recurrence after TNBC.
