Serum Ca, P, AKP, plasma iPTH, cAMP, urinary Hyp and BMC were measured in 31 cases of Graves' disease. The results showed that about 66.67% of the patients (including 21 controlled and 10 uncontrolled cases) had a decreased BMC, while serum Ca, P, plasma iPTH, cAMP were within the normal range. The data also showed that about 54.6% of the patients had increased serum AKP, but it would not exceed 25 U if no hepatic disease existed. There were positive correlations between serum T, and urinary Hyp, and between urinary Hyp and serum AKP, but a negative correlation between urinary Hyp and BMC. It was suggested that serum AKP and urinary Hyp could be considered as the indices of negative balance of bone metabolism in Graves' disease, and probably it was induced by excessive thyroid hormone directly.

Objective To explore the applications of standardized patients teaching method in clin-ical practice teaching effect for students majoring in rehabilitation therapy in the course of occupation therapy. Methods The 2013 classes of rehabilitation therapy specialty in our college were selected as the subjects of study in the two groups. Group 1 was taught by the traditional teaching method, while group 2 was taught by the standardized patients (SP) teaching method. After learning, we made an analysis of two groups through the form of theory questions, practical operation and the questionnaire to assess the teaching efficacy. Measurement data using two sample mean t-test after SPSS 13.0 software for statistical analysis. Results The scores of skills test and questionnaire in students taught by SP teaching method is signifi-cantly higher than those in students taught by traditional teaching method (P<0.05). In the theoretical exami-nation, the SP teaching group outperformed the traditional teaching group, but the difference was not statis-tically significant. Conclusion In occupation therapy application, SP teaching is superior to traditional teaching in improving students' ability of analysis and judgment, operation skill and communication level, which can be extended to other clinical courses of rehabilitation therapy.

Objective: To investigate the expression of survivin, fibronectin-1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and ezrin in thyroid tumors and their relationship with the pathological characteristics of thyroid tumors. Methods: Ninety patients with thyroid tumors admitted to the third affiliated hospital of Zunyi Medical University and the first hospital during Oct. 2016 and Oct. 2018 were selected as the observation group. Seventy-five patients with normal thyroid confirmed by pathology in the same period were selected as the control group. The protein levels of survivin, fibronectin-1, VEGF and ezrin were detected by immunohistochemical method. Results: The positive rates of survivin, fibronectin-1, VEGF and Ezrin in the control group were 2.67%, l4.00%, 1.33% and 1.33%, which were lower than 97.78%, 96.67%, 93.33% and 95.56% in the observation group, respectively (all P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expressions of survivin, fibronectin-1, VEGF and ezrin were significantly correlated with TNM staging, tumor diameter, extrathyroid invasion and lymphatic metastasis (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Survivin, fibronectin-1, VEGF and ezrin proteins are all involved in the occurrence and development of thyroid tumors. The combined detection of these four indicators is of great significance in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of thyroid tumors.
