Besides, the situations of male were lower than that of female.Conclusion: Face to the trend of fast development of image specialty and shortage of image professionals, the analysis of professional identity for new undergraduates is worthy because it can improve teaching quality, enhance quality for image talent and contribute to establish thorough employment guidance plan for colleges and universities.

Hair follicle (HF), one of the skin appendages, has received a lot of attention to be a new target and pathway for drug delivery. The development of hair follicle targeted drug delivery system (HFTDDS) through percutaneous permeation is particularly important for skin diseases derived from HF such as acne, hair loss, and folliculitis for their on-site action. This review describes the structure and physiological function of HF, the microenvironment of HF, and factors affecting HF permeation. Multiple nanoformulations used to improve the HF permeation and technologies to characterize the HF permeation were introduced. The latest advance of HFTDDS based on nanoformulations were systematically summarized and analyzed in the treatment of acne and hair loss. Finally, the challenges of formulating HFTDDS were discussed. The review is expected to provide some ideas and references for developing delivery systems for treating skin diseases derived from HF.

Objective:To explore the method of building the formative assessment (FA) system in diagnostics teaching and investigate its implementation effect.Methods:We planned and formulated the formative assessment system in diagnostics teaching of undergraduate curriculum. The correlation between the scores of the formative assessment and final exam were analyzed. A questionnaire survey on students' attitudes towards FA and an interview on teachers' perspectives were conducted. SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis. Linear correlation analysis was used to compare the final exam scores with formative assessment scores, and Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the scores of questionnaire items.Results:The scores of FA were significantly positive related to the scores of final exam ( r = 0.559, P < 0.001). The questionnaire analysis showed that students significantly valued the formative assessment superior to the summative assessment ( Z = -8.632, P<0.001). It was generally approved of the promotion of FA in students' self-direct learning and self-supervision and the advances in acquirement of knowledge and skills. Conclusion:It is feasible of carrying FA in diagnostics teaching which could provide better learning outcome and might have an extensive prospect of application.

Objective To evaluate the role of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia.Methods From April to October 2015, 100 neonates admitted to the Neonatal Department of Xi′an Children′s Hospital underwent lung ultrasound, using the 12 regions method. All intercostal spaces of the upper and lower parts of the anterior, lateral, and posterior regions of the left and right lung were examined. Arterial blood gas analysis parameters of each case were recorded at the same time, including arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), pH value and oxygen saturation (SO2). A skilled sonographer analyzed the ultrasound images before being aware of the patient′s clinical condition. According to the ifndings, the patients were classiifed into 2 groups: neonatal pneumonia group and non-pneumonia group. All the patients with neonatal pneumonia underwent lung ultrasound score (LUS), and the correlation between LUS and PO2, PCO2, pH value and SO2 was analyzed.Results A ifnal diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia was conifrmed in 62/100 patients. The ultrasonographic manifestations of neonatal pneumonia were as follows: rocket sign (33/62 patients, 53%), ground-glass sign (35/62 patients, 56%) , waterfall sign (31/62 patients, 50%), white lung (8/62 patients, 13%), subpleural lung consolidation (35/62 patients, 56%), pleural line abnormalities (26/62 patients, 41%), pleural effusion (7/62 patients, 11%), atelectasis (3/62 patients, 4%) , and pneumothorax (1/62 patients, 1%). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia was 96.77%, 86.84%, 93.00% of 92.30%, of 94.28%, respectively. The correlation coefficients between LUS and PO2, PCO2, pH value, SO2 were-0.82, 0.64,-0.58,-0.74,P<0.05, respectively.ConclusionLung ultrasound is a reliable tool for diagnosing neonatal pneumonia with high sensitivity, with high practical value in assisting clinicians to carry out appropriate treatment in combination with LUS.

Objective To observe the changes of intracerebral amino acid transmitters in the periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) of newborn rats with microdialysis and so as to explore the role of excitotoxicity in PVL.Methods Replicated the model for PVL at the age of postnatal day 5 (P5) by intracerebral injection of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA).Before injection of 3-NPA,and 15 min,30 min,45 min,60 min,75 min,90 min after injection of 3-NPA,collected the sample of extracellular fluid (ECF) at the corpus callosum above the left ventricle through microdialysis,respectively.After microdialysis,the experimental rats were allowed to survive to P6-P14,and then they were killed and the brains were prepared for HE stain.The amino accids of dialysate were quantified through high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and then the excitotoxic index (EI) was calculated.Results Fifteen min to 45 min after injection of 3-NPA,the concentrations of glumate (Glu) and aspartic acid (Asp) of ECF elevated significantly,and then returned to the normal levels.Fifteen min to 75 min and 15 min to 30 min after injection of 3-NPA,the concentrations of glycine (Gly) and GABA significantly elevated,respectively,and returned to normal levels at 90 min and 45 min after injection of 3-NPA,respectively.But the EI,which indicated the balance of excitatory amino acids(EAAs) and inhibitory amno aciols(IAAs),significantly elevated 15 min to 75 min after injection of 3-NPA,then retured to normal level after 90 min.Sub-cortical and periventricular white matter rarefaction and significant lateral ventricle enlargement were observed in HE staining.Conclusions Changes of intracerebral amino acid transmitters in the PVL of newborn rats show regularity:EAAs,IAAs of ECF and EI elavate in the early stage,and then return to the normal level quickly.It indicates that excitotoxicity play a great role in PVL,especially at the early stage.Therefore,the preventions of PVL must be executed at the early stage.

Objective:To evaluate prognosis factors of primary vaginal cancer. Methods:Data of 80 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Gynecology and Oncology of Guangxi Tumor Hospital from January 2003 to January 2015 were retrospectively ana-lyzed. All the patients were divided into radiotherapy group (n=49) and surpery group (n=31). Based on radiation mode, the patients with radiotherapy were divided into two-dimensional radiotherapy group (n=29) and three-dimensional radiotherapy (3DRT) group (n=20). Prognosis and complications between two subgroups were compared. Surgical patients were divided into laparoscopic surgery group (n=16) and laparotomy surgery group (n=15) with comparing therapeutic feasibility of video-laparoscopic operation and laparot-omy for primary vaginal carcinoma treatment. Results:Univariate analysis showed that FIGO stage, pathology, tumor size, and extent of vaginal mass involvement were related to prognosis (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that FIGO stage and pathology were in-dependent prognostic factors. Statistical differences of 5-year survival were significant between 2DRT (20.9%) and 3DRT (58.6%) groups (P=0.022). Incidences of urinary tract (14/29, 48.27%) and gastrointestinal symptoms (15/29, 51.72%) in 2DRT group and in 3DRT (3/20,15%;4/20,20%) are different significantly (P<0.05). Hospitalization days of laparotomy surgery group (57.00 ± 41.75) were significantly longer than that of laparoscopic surgery group (29.56 ± 7.30) (P=0.024). Conclusion: Applying laparoscopic surgery and 3DRT improved quality of life without decreasing survival rate of patients with vaginal cancer.
