Objective To investigate the preference of the postgraduates in school for work and their psychological changes based on the analysis of the employment status of postgraduates majoring in clinical science of stomatology in Anhui medical university in recent five years in an aim to provide preemployment counseling.Methods The employment status of postgraduates majoring in clinical science of stomatology in affiiated stomatological hospital of Anhui medical university in recent five years (2006 -2010) was summed up.Questionnaire of employment preference and the psychological pressure was conducted in 66 postgraduates majoring in clinical science of stomatology (2008 -2010 grade).Results The employment rate of provincial first-class hospitals was obviously decreased in the recent five years while that of municipal first-class hospitals was increased gradually.The number of postgraduates willing to work in the municipal first-class hospitals was reduced while that willing to future their study and work in the non first-class hospitals was increased.Psychological pressure was univcrsally existed in students and did not get released.Conelusion As the employment situation for postgraduates majoring in clinical science of stomatology changes,the preference for work and psychological pressure of the postgraduates also undergo corresponding changes.Targeted measures can be formulated to work out the problem based on the understanding of these changes.Meanwhile,adjustment should be made in the training methods and employment guidance for postgraduates majoring in clinieal science of stomatology.
2.Progress on pathogenicity research of pks-positive Enterobacteriaceae
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2022;45(4):418-422
The pks genomic island encodes non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS), polyketide synthases (PKS), and hybrid NRPS/PKS synthetase. This genomic island is mainly found in the members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and is especially common in Escherichia coli of phylogroup B2 while frequently coexisting with other virulence factors. The pks-positive E. coli is able to synthesize colibactin, a genotoxic chemical compound. Thus, this pks-positive bacteria may induce the breaking of DNA double-strand and chromosomal instability, which lead to senescence and apoptosis of cells. As a result, pks-positive E. coli is positively associated with the occurrence of diseases such as colorectal neoplasms, neonatal meningitis, and septicemia. Epidemiological studies have also confirmed that pks-positive E. coli is associated with a variety of diseases. However, the exact pathogenic mechanism of pks-positive E. coli is still not understood. Despite its genotoxicity, the pks-positive E. coli also exhibits some positive effects including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibiotic abilities. Therefore, the biological role of pks-positive E. coli is complicated. In this review, an overview of the pks genomic island and its prevalence in Enterobacteriaceae, as well as the biological function of pks-positive E. coli is described, aiming to provide references for further researches.

Objective To explore the effects of Clark comfortable nursing mode on self efficacy and quality of life in hospitalized patients with stroke .Methods This research selected 100 hospitalized patients with stroke in recovery period in department of neurology at a hospital where the author was .They were divided into control group (50 cases, usual nursing) and observation group (50 cases, Clark comfortable nursing mode ) according to nursing mode .The self efficacy , quality of life , and degree of satisfaction was compared in patients of two groups on admission and 6 months after nursing care .Results The score of self efficacy (33.04 ±5.09) of patients in observation group was higher than that ( 26 .73 ±4 .75 ) in control group with a significant difference (t=3.726, P=0.015);the score of quality of life (40.80 ±5.72) of patients in observation group was higher than that (35.41 ±5.53) in control group with a significant difference (t=4.210, P<0.001);the degree of satisfaction (96.00%) of patients in observation group was higher than that (74.00%) in control group with a significant difference (P=0.007).Conclusions The Clark comfortable nursing mode applied to the nursing care of hospitalized patients with stroke not only can improve patients ′self efficacy and quality of life, but also can increase the degree of satisfaction of patients .

Objective:To evaluate a new type of draw-bar skin stretcher in repair of full-thickness skin defects.Methods:From May 2015 to January 2019, 52 patients with full-thickness skin defects were repaired with a new type of draw-bar skin stretcher at Daping Hospital, Army Medical University. They were 40 males and 12 females, aged from 4 to 61 years (average, 37.1 years). Their skin was stretched for primary wound closure. When primary wound closure failed, skin stretching was performed again to close the wound depending on the wound condition. When the Pinch test was negative after skin stretching, the wound was sutured directly. In cases of positive Pinch test, a skin graft or flap was used to repair the remaining wound. At 12 months after surgery, scar contracture and size of skin graft or flap were observed and wound healing after skin stretching was evaluated in comparison with the original wound.Results:After skin stretching, one-stage wound closure was achieved in 36 cases and multi-stage wound closure in 8 cases; of the remaining 8 cases, 2 were repaired by skin graft and 6 by skin flap after their wounds were reduced by skin stretching. In one-stage closed wounds, infection occurred in 3 cases and marginal necrosis in 5 cases; in the wounds repaired by skin graft or flap, no infection or necrosis was observed. The 12-month follow-up for all the patients showed fine healing of all the wounds after one-stage or multi-stage closure, linear scar, absence of scar contracture, and smaller wound sizes than the original ones after skin graft or flap repair.Conclusions:Skin stretching using our new type of draw-bar skin stretcher is an effective treatment for skin wounds. It can replace traditional skin grafting and flap surgery in some cases, but its indications should be strictly followed to avoid related complications.
