Objective To investigate the application effect of service-learning pattern in clinical nursing teaching in Obstetric department. Methods A total of 113 nursing students in Obstetric department were randomly divided into two groups:57 were trained with traditional clinical nursing teaching method as the control group, 56 with service-learning teaching method as the experimental group. All students were examined for comprehensive assessment, including professional theory, professional operation and comprehensive quality after their training. At the same time, the clinical teaching satisfaction of nursing students were surveyed. Results There was no statistical difference in exam results between two groups of nursing students after training(P>0.05). However, the experimental group had higher achievements in professional operation and comprehensive quality after their training than the control group (35.24 points vs. 32.10 points, 16.27 points vs. 14.05 points), as well as, the clinical teaching satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group(96.42% vs. 89.60% ), the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Service-learning pattern can significantly improve the clinical teaching effect of undergraduate nursing students in Obstetric department.

PurposeTo explore the left ventricle flow propagation process in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) using velocity flow mapping. Materials and Methods Patients with CHF (n=25) were selected as CHF group. Healthy subjects (n=28) were chosen as the control group. Flow reversal interval (FRI), flow reversal rate (FRR), corrected flow reversal rate (CFRI) and flow rate in peak ejection (FRPE) were measured. Parameters related to the vortex in CHF group were compared with that in the control group. Results Compared with the control group, FRI was longer [(71±13) msvs. (113±30) ms, P<0.05], FRR and FRPE were lower [(46.85±21.35) cm2/svs. (27.90±16.77) cm2/s;(74.54±9.10) cm2/svs. (41.12±17.25) cm2/s,P<0.05] in CHF group. FRI and CFRI were positively correlated with the Tei index (r=0.812 and 0.849,P<0.01). FRI was negatively correlated with LVEF, FS, SV, CO, CI (r=-0.646--0.515,P<0.05 orP<0.01). CFRI was negatively correlated with LVEF, FS, SV, CO and CI (r=-0.685--0.456,P<0.05 orP<0.01); FRR was negatively correlated with Tei index (r=-0.604,P<0.05), and was positively correlated with LVEF, FS, SV, CO and CI (r=0.503-0.812,P<0.05 orP<0.01);FRPE was negatively correlated with Tei index (r=-0.734,P<0.01), and were positively correlated with LVEF, FS, SV, CO and CI (r=0.557-0.776,P<0.05 orP<0.01).Conclusion Velocity flow mapping can demonstratecardiac hydromechanics in patients with chronic heart failure. The heart blood flow direction reversal efficiency may be a new method for diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

Applying scientific literature in the teaching of nutrition and food hygiene is neces-sary. It can not only deepen students' understanding of the course and improve students' English level and scientific research ability, but also can improve teachers' professional skill. To improve the effi-ciency of teaching, teachers should choose literature close to the course and pay attention to selecting review literature and English literature. Textbook should be principal line of study during the teach-ing. Teachers should control the number and timing of explaining literature and grasp the complexity of literature. In order to facilitate students' understanding, teachers should make full use of related figures and tables.

Objective To investigate the effect of lung ischemic preconditioning (IP) on the expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in dogs.Methods Twelve adult mongrel dogs,weighing 15-20 kg,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =6 each):lung I/R (group I/R) and ischemic preconditioning group (group IP).The left pulmonary artery was occluded at 10 min of off-pump CPB and mechanical ventilation was stopped in the left lung,60 min later occlusion was released,and mechanical ventilation was recovered to establish the model of left lung ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by CPB.In group IP,lung ischemic preconditioning was induced by 2 cycles of 5 min ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion before occlusion of the left pulmonary artery.Before CPB (T1),immediately after occlusion of the left pulmonary artery (T2),at the end of CPB (T3),and at 2 h after the end of CPB (T4),pulmonary specimens were collected for determination of wet to dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and expression of AQP1 and for examination of the pathological changes of lungs which were scored.Respiration index (RI),oxygenation index (OI),and alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference (P(A-a)O2) were calculated at T1,T3 and T4,and the left pulmonary alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) was calculated at T4.Results Compared with group I/R,P(A-a) O2 and RI were significantly decreased,OI was increased,W/D ratio and pathological scores were decreased,the expression of AQP1 was up-regulated,and the AFC was increased at T3 and T4 in group IP.The pathological changes of the lung were significantly attenuated in group IP as compared with group I/R.Conclusion The mechanism by which lung ischemic preconditioning mitigates lung I/R injury induced by CPB is related to upregulation of the expression of AQP1 in dog lung tissues.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of combined detection of the promoter methylation of plasma free Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 genes in peripheral blood for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Methods The data of patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from January to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into colorectal cancer group (62 cases of colon cancer, 59 cases of rectal cancer), precancerous lesions group (77 cases of colorectal adenoma, 5 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia), interference group (61 cases of colorectal cancer and advanced adenoma negative but suffered other intestinal lesions, 17 cases of non-colorectal cancer) and healthy group (94 cases). The methylation status of three genes (Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1) in peripheral blood plasma was detected simultaneously by fluorescence PCR. The relationship between the positive rate of three genes detected jointly and the clinic pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer was analyzed and compared with serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) positive rate. The colorectal cancer group was divided into stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ according to TNM stage, and the colorectal cancer group was analyzed and counted by grade. The diagnostic efficiency of detection methods was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under ROC curve (AUC) was compared.Results:The positive rate of combined detection of SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation was higher than other three groups (χ 2 =237.246, P<0.001). The positive rate of combined detection of plasma Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation was higher than CEA in colorectal cancer group ( P<0.001). The positive rates of the combined detection of plasma Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation in stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ of colorectal cancer group were 73%(16/22), 87%(34/39), 86%(30/35) and 96%(24/25), respectively. Compared with CEA group, the positive rate of combined detection of plasma Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ of colorectal cancer group was higher than serum CEA ( P<0.001), but the positive rate of stage Ⅳ was not statistically significant compared with CEA group ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 was 0.857(95% CI 0.810-0.903),0.819(95% CI 0.768-0.871)and 0.862(95% CI 0.816-0.909), respectively. The AUC of combined detection of three gene methylations was 0.889 (95% CI 0.846-0.933), and the AUC of combined detection with serum CEA was 0.913 (95% CI 0.874-0.951). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of combined detection of Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation among different gender, age and cancerous site of colon cancer patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The combined detection of the promoter methylation of plasma free Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 genes in peripheral blood plasma is helpful for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The positive rate in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ of colorectal cancer group is higher than serum CEA. The combined diagnosis of the three genes can improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors in treating variceal hemorrhage patients of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods From January 2003 to December 2008, the data of 162 variceal hemorrhage patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension treated with TIPS was collected, which included basic information, biochemical examination results within 7 days before the operation, regular follow-up observation after the surgery and survival data. The survival prognostic indexes were assessed with Cox regression model. Results The successful rate of TIPS was 99% (161/162). The median follow up duration was 21 months. Child-Pugh score and blood platelet count (PLT) were closely correlated with survival (P = 0. 003 and 0. 024). The total cumulative survival rate in patients with Child-Pugh score below nine (75%, 102/136) was higher than over nine (50%, 13/26) (χ2 = 9. 12,P=0. 003).The total cumulative survival rate of patients with PLT count over 47 ×109/L (74%, 82/112) was higher than below 47 × 109/L(66 %, 33/50, χ2 =4. 528, P = 0. 033). The one year after operation cumulative survival rate of liver function Child-Pugh class A, B, and C was 92%, 85%, 55% respectively. Conclusion Child-Pugh score and platelet count are independent predictable factors for the survival of variceal hemorrhage patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension treated by TIPS. The risk increase after operation when Child-Pugh score over 9 and/or PLT count less 47×109 /L.

Objective To observe the ultrasonographic features of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast and its clinical and histopathological characteristics. Methods The ultrasonographic features, clinical and histopathological characteristics of 7 middle-aged women (median age 61 years old) with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast confirmed histopathologically from January 1995 to December 2014 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Results There were 8 lesions in seven cases. Six cases were single lesion and 1 case with multiple lesions, the diameters of the lesions were 7.0-60.0 mm [mean (34.0±19.6) mm]. On grayscale ultrasound, 6 lesions with solid compoments were hypoechoic, 2 lesions with solid and cystic compoments were complex echogenic, the lesions all had irregular shape and indistinct margin, 2 lesions had calcifications. On color Doppler flow imaging, 7 lesions had rich blood flow signals (Ⅱor Ⅲ) and 1 lesion had no blood flow signal. On gross histopathological examination, 6 masses were solid, pale-white colored, medium texture and the boundary was not clear. Two masses had cystic cavity. One old patient who was 70 years old had several times chest wall recurrence after mastectomy. On ultrasonography, the lesion showed an anechoic cyst with thick wall. Two chest wall recurrence lesions were cystic with thick wall. Microscopic examination showed squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating into the fiber adipose and skeletal muscle tissue. Conclusions Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is more common in large tumor size. Ultrasound can show the more cysticcomponents of the tumor and abundant vascularity, which is helpful for diagnosis.
