Objective To provide references for epidemiology teaching reform by investigating scores of epidemiological exam and applications of epidemiologic course content in practice.Methods The epidemiological exam scores of students majoring in preventive medicine from 2004 to 2007 grade were statistically analyzed and questionnaire survey was carried out among students of 2006 and 2007 grade.Results The skewness of epidemiological scores from four garades were negative skew,and the kurtosis of 2007 grade was positive,the others were negative;there were statistical differences among the average scores of different grades(F=2.70,P＜0.05);there were statistical differences between 2004 grade and other grades in passing rate(x2=7.94,P＜0.008).Most of the contents applied in survey were prevention and control of infectious deseases(16.0％),prevention and control of chronic diseases(13.9％),surveillance of diseases(11.8％).Conclusions Epidemiology teaching reform should be enhanced and should integrate theory with practice.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of nutritional status on postoperative outcomes for patients with gastric cancer. Methods:Data of 353 gastric cancer patients at Xinjiang Medical University Affiliated Tumor Hospital between January 2013 and October 2014 were collected prospectively. Preoperative nutritional status was evaluated using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002). Postoperative complication rates were compared among different preoperative nutritional status. Results:On the basis of NRS 2002, the morbidities of patients with and without malnutrition risk were 47.0%(77/164) and 31.2%(59/189), respectively (P=0.002). Among the patients with an NRS score of at least 3, the complication rate was significantly lower in the group with preoperative nutrition than in the group of patients without preoperative nutrition support (P=0.013). NRS 2002 was a significant predictor of postoperative complications (P=0.039, OR=1.634, 95%CI:1.025-2.606) on the basis of multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusion:As a nutritional evaluation tool, NRS 2002 may predict postoperative complications for gastric cancer patients.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of treating acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding(AUGIB) with freezing Zidi mixture lavage. Method 183 UGIB patients from the First Affiliated Hospital to Guanzhou University of TCM in August 2013 were randomly recruited into a control group with 91cases and a treatment group with 92 cases. The treatment group was treated with intragastric administration of freezing Zidi mixture, while the control group was treated with intragastric administration of cryohydrate and norepinephrine. The changes of clinical effects, blood pressure, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, pulse and dark stool were observed and the bad emotions as anxiety, depression and fear were evaluated. Results ① On therapeutic effect, the total effective rate was 96.7% and 85.7% in the treatment group and the control group respectively, with statistical difference(χ2=2.943,P<0.05). ② On the time of symptom disappearance:the disappearing time of vomiting, dark stools and occult blood test in the treatment group was obviously shorter than the control group after the treatment(t=6.628、14.052、21.706,P<0.05 or 0.01). ③ On body symptom changes: after the treatment, the systolic pressure, heart rate, hemoglobin, and blood urea nitrogen [(114.3±12.1)mmHg,(78.6±11.4)/min,(98.1±10.5)g/L,(5.9±1.1)mmol/L] in the treatment group were all obviously improved than those [(106.3±11.2)mmHg, (88.7±12.1)/min,(88.2±11.7)g/L,(6.9±1.4)mmol/L] in the control group;body temperature returned to normal in both groups, and there was no statistical difference score was either in or between groups(P>0.05). ④ On changes of anxiety, depression and fear:the treatment group [the(42.5±9.4), (41.6±9.7), (26.3±5.4)for each]was obviously improved after the treatment than the control group[the score was(51.2±10.1),(50.4±11.5),(30.4±6.9)for each],P<0.05. Conclusion Freezing Zidi mixture lavage can obviously elevate systolic pressure, decrease heart rate, enhance hemoglobin, decrease blood urea nitrogen, relieve body stress reaction and other clinical symptoms. Its effects were better than intragastric administration of cryohydrate and norepinephrine in treating AUGIB.
