Objective:To explore the impact of mentors' behaviors on the professional identity of medical students during the internship.Methods:Based on the data of the China Medical Students Survey in 2020, a research was conducted on 25 557 medical graduates from 104 universities in China. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the impact of mentors' behaviors on the professional identity of medical students during the internship.Results:More than 70% of medical students believed that the clinical mentors they met during their internship had positive medical and teaching behaviors. If students believed that clinical mentors were enthusiastic, responsible for their work, highlighted role modeling and paid attention to their behaviors in teaching, the scores of professional identity would be 3.027, 0.445, 0.840 and 1.234 points greater than if they did not respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusion:The students have generally good evaluation on mentors' behavior during the internship. The positive medical and teaching behaviors of mentors have a positive impact on the professional identity of medical students and the impact of enthusiasm is the greatest. Medical institutions should provide complete institutional support and standardize the behavior of clinical teachers in order to enhance the professional identity of medical students.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of the single and mixed decoction of Thallus laminariae (kelp) and Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) on the metabolism and their difference. The mixed decoction of kelp and licorice and the single decoction were made and intragastrically administered to the SD rats. The effect on system metabolism, the toxicity of liver and kidney were assessed by GC-MS profiling of the endogenous molecules in serum, routine biochemical assays and histographic inspection of tissues from SD rats, separately. The mixed decoction of kelp and licorice induced more obvious pathological abnormalities in SD rats than a single decoction of kelp, while the extracts of licorice did not show any pathological change. Neither the mixed, nor the single decoction showed abnormal histopathology. After intragastric administration of extracts for 5 days, the mixed decoction induced a decrease of ALT (no significant change in the groups of single decoction) and an increase of BUN (so did the single decoction of kelp). Metabolomic profile of the molecules in serum revealed that the metabolic patterns were all obviously affected for the three groups, i.e., the mixed and single decoction of kelp and licorice. The rats given with the single decoction of kelp showed a similar pattern to that of the mixed decoction, indicating that the kelp primarily contributed the perturbation of metabolism for the mixed decoction. All three groups induced a decrease of branched chain amino acids, TCA cycle intermediates and glycolysis intermediates (e.g., pyruvic acid and lactic acid) and an increase of 3-hydroxybutyric acid. Kelp decoction showed stronger potential in reducing TCA cycle intermediates and glycolysis intermediates than the other two groups, while the levels of branched chain amino acids were the lowest after licorice extracts were given. These results suggested that the effect of the mixed decoction on metabolism was closely associated with both kelp and licorice. The continuous administration of single decoction of kelp and the mixed decoction of licorice and kelp resulted in pathological abnormalities in kidney of SD rats. The mixed decoction of kelp and licorice distinctly perturbed sera molecules and hence system metabolism, which showed associated with those of kelp and licorice. Although the metabolic effect was associated with both kelp and licorice, the results suggested kelp contributed to it primarily.

Preterm birth is the most common maternal complication in twin pregnancies. In recent years, cervical cerclage has been of long-standing interest in the prevention of preterm birth in twin pregnancies. However, its clinical application in the treatment of cervical insufficiency of twin pregnancies remains a controversial subject. In addition, infection or inflammation conditions are considered to be closely related to the perinatal outcomes of twin pregnancies after cervical cerclage. This paper reviews the research progress on cervical cerclage in twin pregnancies, recommending cervical cerclage for twin pregnancies with cervical length≤15 mm or cervical dilatation, while it is not suggested for those with cervical length of 15-25 mm or history-indicated cervical cerclage. The clinical significance of preoperative evaluation of intraamniotic infection or inflammation of twin pregnancies needs to be further explored, but it is necessary to avoid the effect of antibiotic use on the evaluation of surgical effects.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Yinertong antibacterial fluid combined with Yintshu antibacterial gel on puncture wound infection in pleural catheter drainage.Methods:A total of 80 patients who underwent pleural catheter drainage in Gulou Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Nanjing University from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled. They were divided into the control group and the experimental group by random digits table method, with 40 cases each. The control group was given alcohol disinfection and traditional iodophor. The experimental group was given Yinerong antibacterial fluid combined with Yintshu antibacterial gel. The infection of puncture wound, degree of edema, incidence of catheter displacement, colonization rate of catheter pathogens, pain, and nursing satisfaction were observed and compared between the two groups.Results:The wound infection rate was 15% (6/40) in the control group, and 0(0/40) in the experimental group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.50, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in colonization rate of catheter pathogens between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were 28, 6, 4 and 2 cases of no edema, mild, moderate and severe edema in the control group and 38, 1, 1 and 0 cases in the experimental group, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=8.19, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of immediate pain of puncture between the two groups ( P>0.05). The score of VAS after 24 hours of puncture and at the time of extubation was (3.10 ± 1.34), (1.50 ± 1.36) points in the experimental group, and (3.83 ± 1.28), (2.38 ± 1.28) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.48, 2.97, both P<0.05). The satisfaction rate after discharge was 97.5% (39/40) in the experimental group, and 80.0% (32/40) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.31, P<0.05). Conclusions:The combined application of Yinertong antibacterial fluid and Yintshu antibacterial gel can significantly reduce the wound infection rate of pleural catheter drainage, reduce wound edema and pain, and improve patients′ satisfaction with nursing work, which is worthy of popularization and application.

Purpose:
The incidence rate of breast cancer (BC) has increased annually. Downstream neighbor of son (DONSON) critically affects cell cycle progression and maintains stable genomic properties; however, its relevant effects on BC growth and progression require indepth investigation.
Methods:
DONSON upregulation was validated in public databases. DONSON expression in matched BC and adjacent tissues and cell lines (MDA-MB-231, BT-549, and HS-578T) was determined using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In vitro apoptosis, invasion, migration, and proliferation tests were performed to ascertain the functions of DONSON in BC cell lines. Then, using western blot analysis, the levels of DONSON downstream proteins were determined.
Results:
Compared to the control, DONSON was expressed at higher levels in BC tissues and cell lines. DONSON knockdown facilitated apoptosis and limited proliferation, migration, invasion, and S/G2 transition of BC cells In vitro. Furthermore, DONSON overexpression promoted BC cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis In vitro. Moreover, DONSON knockdown reduced cyclin A1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 levels. Moreover, DONSON knockdown limited the progression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
Conclusion
DONSON critically affects BC growth and serves as a possible target and marker for the efficacy of subsequent therapies.

Objective:To investigate the preoperative evaluation and treatment methods of non-firearm penetrating brain injury (PBI) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical data of 18 children with non-firearm PBI admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to December 2020 were collected.Results:CT angiography was performed in 10 patients and MRI in 8 patients before treatment. CT angiography indicated that the intracranial large vessels were not injured by the foreign bodies. The foreign bodies of 7 patients were removed by craniotomy and the foreign bodies of 3 patients were removed directly under general anesthesia; the foreign bodies of 8 patients were removed directly outside the hospital without anesthesia. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage was noted in 4 patients and intracranial infection in 7 patients after surgery; no foreign body residue or intracranial hemorrhage after surgery was noted. After 3-69 months of follow-up, 3 patients had visual decline, one had limited eye movement, and one had olfactory decline.Conclusion:CT angiography is a safe and effective evaluation method for children with non-firearm PBI, and direct extraction of foreign body under general anesthesia is a feasible surgical method when CT angiography shows that the blood vessels are not hurted by the foreign bodies.
