BACKGROUNDPulmonary blastoma is a rare primary malignancy of the lung. It is now recognized in two forms: adult type pulmonary blastoma and childhood pleuropulmonary blastoma. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatments of adult type pulmonary blastoma are discussed in this article.

METHODSThe clinical records of 5 patients with adult type pulmonary blastoma admitted in Cancer Center, Sun Yet-sen University from 1964 to 2004 were analyzed and the literature on pulmonary blastoma was reviewed.

RESULTSThree patients were male and two were female with the ages ranged from 22 years old to 70. Their symptoms consisted mainly of cough, hemoptysis and chest pain. The pulmonary blastomas were mainly manifested as a solitary parenchymal mass of the lung on chest radiograph and CT. None of these patients was diognosed by fibrobronchoscopy nor sputum cytology. Three patients underwent lobectomy, one underwent pneumonectomy, and these four patients underwent mediastinal lymph node resection also. The fifth one received wedge resection and postoperative chemotherapy. At the end of follow-up, three patients died and two was alive, and the survival time was from 6 months to 11 years.

CONCLUSIONSPulmonary blastoma is difficult to be diagnosed before operation. Surgery is the best therapeutic choice up to now. It has poor response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The prognosis of patient with pulmonary blastoma is variable.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of students' academic procrastination behavior in medical colleges and universities and its influencing factors, and to put forward suggestions to reduce the academic procrastination of medical students.Methods:A total of 1 327 undergraduate students from three medical colleges and universities in Heilongjiang Province were randomly selected to receive questionnaire investigation on life satisfaction, anxiety, and academic procrastination. SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis.Results:①The total procrastination scores of medical students were (35.00±8.92) points. ②There were statistical differences in the academic procrastination of medical students with different genders, whether the only children, the reasons for choosing the major, and the level of achievement ( P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in academic procrastination among medical students of different ages and grades ( P > 0.05). ③Medical students' procrastination was positively correlated with their anxiety level ( r = 0.102, P < 0.01), and negatively correlated with life satisfaction ( r = -0.117, P < 0.01). ④Regression analysis showed that the following six predictive variables including the level of achievement, gender, life satisfaction, anxiety, reasons for choosing the major, and whether the only children could effectively explain the variance of 14.2% academic procrastination of medical students. Conclusion:The overall degree of academic procrastination of medical students is higher than that of non-medical students. And the students' achievement level, gender, life satisfaction, anxiety, the reasons for choosing this major and whether the only child are the influencing factors of academic procrastination.

OBJECTIVETo determine the percentage of hypercholesterolemic patients who had met the criteria as total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), defined by the Chinese National Recommendations for Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia.

METHODSAdult patients with hypercholesterolemia, who had been receiving the same lipid-lowering therapy for at least 2 months, were enrolled. Lipid levels were determined at the time of enrollment, to assess whether the patients' lipid levels had reached the criteria for treatment. Patients' cardiovascular risk factors and lipid-lowering treatments were also collected.

RESULTSOne hundred and eighty patients with mean age of 65.8 were studied. Of these, 6.7% had no risk factors and no definite disease of atherosclerosis (low-risk group), 65.5% had risk factors but no documented atherosclerosis (high-risk group), and 27.8% had established atherosclerosis diseases or diabetes mellitus. Overall, only 44% of patients achieved both TC and LDL-C target levels. The success rates were higher among low and high-risk groups than that among patients with atherosclerosis or diabetes mellitus. The relationship between four different lipid-lowering drug therapies and successful patient outcome was also investigated. The success rates were 51.8% for simvastatin, 42.9% for pravastatin, 31.6% for fluvastatin, 12.5% for other drugs respectively.

CONCLUSIONMore than half of the hypercholesterolemic patients receiving lipid-lowering therapy had not achieved TC and LDL-C target levels. Data from this study indicated that a significant gap still existed between dyslipidemia prevention principles and clinical practices, suggesting that more aggressive treatment of dyslipidemia is needed.

Objective To investigate the current status and reasons of selecting pump refill mode in vasopressor among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.Methods From October 1st to October 31st,362 ICU nurses from 6 sub-professional areas of a tertiary hospital were investigated by self-designed questionnaire. Results The survey showed that,the common pump refill mode that ICU nurses used was empty needle for empty needle (97.2%),pump for pump (59.8%),and seamless change between pumps (79.5%). 55.9% of nurses selected seamless change between pumps when patients were using vasopressor,and for patients who were sensitive to vasopressor,77.5% of nurses would select seamless change between pumps. Selections were all chosed by nurses according to their experience and the condition of disease.Conclusions Among several pump refill modes that used in clinic,the seamless change between pumps was the most common mode that nurses selected when they use vasopressor,but most of them was based on the condition of disease,and we should look for more guidances based on evidence and standardize the clinical pump refill.
