Through comparing of the cultivation models for master and doctoral postgraduate of two schools of nursing in Hong Kong,the viewpoint that the relatively perfect cultivation models for nursing postgraduate in Hong Kong had been formed was pointed out.Reformation of exam-oriented admission requirements,rationalization of cultivation types,enrichment of cultivation directions as well as making cultivation objectives explicitly,curriculum optimized and evaluation system improved should be suggested and referenced by domestic nursing educational innovators.

Objective To study the influence of Compound Salvia injection combined with cefoperazone sulbactam sodium on renal function and renal interstitial fibrosis in elderly patients with chronic pyelonephritis (CPN).Methods From April 2013 to July 2014, 126 cases of CPN were divided into observation group ( n =63 ) and control group ( n =63 ) according to the order of admission to hospital.All patients were given cefoperazone sulbactam sodium, and patients in observation group were added Compound Salvia injection.The clinical efficacy of treatment were evaluated between two groups, renal function and TGF-β1 were observed and compared before and after treatment in two groups.Results After treatment, HE staining of nephridial tissue showed renal interstitial fibrosis in observation group obvious improved more.The overall response rate of observation patients (90.48%) was significantly higher (74.60%) than control group, and the relapse rate of observation group (1.59%) was significantly lower than control group (14.29%), and there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05).After treatment, urinary albumin (11.4 ±3.1) mg/L, BUN (5.7 ±0.5) mmol/L, and Scr (103.2 ±10.4)μmol/L of observation group were significantly lower than control group, respectively (P<0.05).After treatment, TGF-β1 level (103.4 ±32.5) ng/L of observation group was significantly lower than control group (202.4 ±35.2) ng/L(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between two groups.Conclusions Compound Salvia injection combined with cefoperazone sulbactam sodium has good efficacy.can significantly improve renal function, delay renal interstitial fibrosis in treatment of elderly patients with chronic pyelonephritis.

Objective To evaluate the applicative value of ultrasound elastography in diagnosis of focal lesions in the parotid and submandibular glands.Methods 30 patients(30 lesions) were scanned by real-time ultrasound elastography and were analyzed in elastography evaluated criteria (5 score method).All the results were compared with the pathological types.Results The elastographic grades of most benign nodules were 1 - 3,while most of malignancy were 4 - 5.The elastographic grades of benign and malignant lesions were of significant difference statistically( P ＜0.01 ).If elastographic grade 4 or 5 were diagnosed as malignancies,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy for diagnosing malignant l(e)sions in the parotid and submandibular glands were 72.73 ％,84.21 ％,80.00 ％,respectively.Conclusions Ultrasound elastography is useful in the differential diagnosis of focal lesions in the parotid and submandibular glands.

Objective:To investigate the value of visfatin in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors and the feasibility of visfatin as a molecular marker of breast cancer.Methods:A total of 195 breast cancer patients hospitalized in the Cancer Hospital of The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences from December 2017 to July 2018 were selected as the breast cancer group, all of them were women. 80 patients with benign breast diseases in the same period were randomly selected as the breast benign disease group, all of them were women. 80 female employees with normal physical examination in the same year were selected as the normal control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum level of visfatin. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between visfatin and clinicopathological features of breast cancer. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to get area under curve (AUC) value, and the diagnostic efficacy was analyzed.Results:The serum visfatin level in breast cancer group was significantly higher than that in benign breast disease group and normal control group ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the serum visfatin level was related to lymph node metastasis, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage and body mass index (BMI) (all P<0.05). The serum visfatin level was positively correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of breast cancer patients ( r=0.336, P=0.043; r=0.632, P=0.027, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was a risk factor for serum visfatin [ OR=1.098, 95% CI(1.073, 1.226), P=0.02]. According to the ROC curve of serum visfatin level in benign breast disease group and normal group, the AUC of serum visfatin were 0.652 and 0.701, respectively. When the Youden index was the highest, the sensitivity was 52.30% and 55.90% respectively, and the specificity was 73.10% and 75.0% respectively. Conclusions:Serum visfatin level can be used to distinguish benign and malignant breast cancer patients. It has a certain clinical value in the auxiliary diagnosis of breast cancer, and may be used as a potential molecular marker of breast cancer.

Objective To analyze risk factors and antimicrobial use for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in an intensive care unit(ICU),so as to perform risk assessment and guide antimicrobial use.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,HAP patients were conducted retrospective co-hort study,risk factors for MDRO-HAP and rationality of antimicrobial use were analyzed.Results A total of 110 cases of HAP occurred in ICU,63 cases (57.27%)were MDR-HAP.Logistic regression analysis revealed that re-cent hospital stay ≥5 days (OR=19.94),transference from other hospitals (OR =19.33),infection type of late-onset HAP (OR=7.98),and antimicrobial use in recent 90 days (OR =3.42)were independent risk factors for MDR-HAP.Initial empirical anti-infective treatment revealed that there were no significant difference in timing of antimicrobial administration within 24 hours after clinical diagnosis was confirmed,and rationality of antimicrobial selection between MDR-HAP group and non-MDR-HAP group (both P >0.05);The isolation rate of pathogens in MDR-HAP group was lower than non-MDR-HAP group (73.02% vs 91 .49% P <0.05 ).Targeted antimicrobial therapy revealed that there were no significant difference in selection,dosage,and frequency of antimicrobial use be-tween two groups(all P >0.05 );the rationality rate of therapy course in MDR-HAP group was higher than no-MDR-HAP group,but rationality rate of combination use of antimicrobial agents was slightly lower than the latter (both P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Patients in ICU should be conducted risk factor assessment,and according prevention and control measures should be formulated,so as to reduce the occurrence of MDR-HAP,health care workers should standardized the initial empirical anti-infective treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of plan-do-check-act (PDCA)cycle method in improving disinfection efficacy of object surface in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods On the basis of management of healthcare-associat-ed infection (HAI)and prevention of multidrug-resistant organisms,disinfection efficacy of object surface in an ICU was intervened,data about surface object specimens taken before,during,and after intervention,HAI in patients, as well as detection of MDROs were collected.Results The total qualified rate of specimens taken before,during, and after intervention was 58.24%,76.74%,and 88.71 %,respectively,there was an increased tendency,the difference was significant (χ2 =17.41 ,P =0.009);the incidence of HAI was 3.72%,2.42%,and 1 .78%,respec-tively,there was a decreased tendency(χ2 =6.03,P =0.039),case infection rate was 4.36%,2.75%,and 2.37%respectively,there was a decreased tendency (χ2 = 7.24,P = 0.046 );detection rate of MDROs was 34.03%, 27.45%,and 14.05%,respectively,there was a decreased tendency (χ2 =33.84,P =0.007),the percentage of pa-tients who were detected MDROs and HAI caused by MDROs showed a decreased tendency(χ2 =6.14,6.02,both P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of PDCA cycle can effectively improve disinfectant efficacy of ICU object surface,and reduce the incidence of MDRO HAI.

Objective To investigate the value of DWI using 3.0 T MRI to predict response to radiotherapy(RT) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods From January 2014 to May 2015, 40 patients with stageⅢ(Ⅲa orⅢb) NSCLC underwent DWI using 3.0 T MRI before RT/CCRT were enrolled. The imaging quality of diffusion-weighted images were evaluated on 3-level grades as good, moderate and non-diagnostic.The patients with good or moderate image quality were underwent DWI at 2 weeks after starting therapy(total dose of 20 Gy), and at the end of therapy (total dose of 60 Gy). Apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) of lung cancer with good and moderate image quality were calculated by Funtool. The following quantitative parameters were recorded and calculated: the mean pretreatment ADC value(ADCpre), the mean mid-treatment ADC value (ADCmid), the mean post-treatment ADC value(ADCpost), the rate of changes inmean ADC value at 2 weeks post therapy (ΔADCmid) and the rate of changes inmean ADC value at the end of therapy(ΔADCpost). The patients were classified into response group and non-response group according to the tumor response, which was assessed with revised response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST1.1) after CCRT. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare parameters between the two groups.The relationship between these obtained parameters and tumor response was evaluated by Spearman correlation analysis. The value of parameters on predicting tumor response was calculated by receiver operating characteristic curve.Results 96.4%(80/83) DW images were graded as good or moderate image quality. The responders had lower median ADCpre[1.32 (0.77—1.96) × 10- 3 mm2/s] than non-responders[1.60(1.12—2.33) × 10- 3 mm2/s], which had statistically significant difference (Z=-2.934,P=0.003).Tumor regression rate after treatment had negative correlation with ADCpre(r=-0.386, P=0.018).The responders had increased ADC [ΔADCmid: 38.9%(12.8%—139.0%),ΔADCpost: 48.3% (25.6%—148.1%)] than non-responders [ΔADCmid: -2.5% (-15%—29.4%), ΔADCpost:14.2% (- 28.1% —71.3% )], which had statistically significant difference (Z=- 2.847, - 2.221, respectively;P<0.05). Tumor regression rate after treatment had positive correlation with ΔADCmid(r=0.637, P=0.001) and ΔADCpost(r=0.631, P=0.005).From ROC analysis,when setting threshold on pretreatment ADCpre=1.38 × 10-3 mm2/s, ΔADCmid=21.6%, ΔADCpost=38.8%, the area under curve was 0.782, 0.838 and 0.813.Conclusion The mean ADC value before RT/CCRT and its changes during treatment is likely to be a valuabletool for predicting the response after RT/CCRT in advanced NSCLC, which may be helpful to clinical decision on individualized therapy.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the imaging characteristics of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and their correlation with histopathological findings.

METHODSCT and MRI imaging and histopathological characteristics of five patients with hepatic EHE were retrospectively reviewed and the correlation of their imaging characteristics with pathological findings was analyzed.

RESULTSA total of 92 lesions were found in the 5 patients, all presenting with multiple nodules. All the 92 lesions were located within a 2-cm zone heneath the hepatic capsule, i.e., the shortest distance from the horder of lesions to the hepatic capsule. 28 of the 92 lesions showed the "capsular retraction" sign. 36 lesions were found in three patients receiving MRI. 77.8% of the 36 lesions demonstrated the "halo" sign on a fat-suppression T2- weighted image, while 91.7% after contrast enhancement. A peripheral dark rim was found in 91.7% of the lesions on a fat-suppression T2-weighted image. In addition, 36.1% of the lesions showed slight internal or edge enhancement at the hepatohiliary phase. In the two patients receiving CT examination, 7 of 56 lesions demonstrated the "halo" sign.

CONCLUSIONSHepatic EHE may manifest as nodular lesions with predilection of peripheral subcapsular growth and nodular confluence, together with "halo" sign and " capsular retraction". The peripheral dark rim on a fat-suppression T2-weighted image and slight enhancement at the hepatobiliary phase can help to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this hepatic tumor. MRI is superior to CT imaging to denict their intra-lesional characteristics.

Objective To investigate the techniques of laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection(LRPLND)through extraperitoneal approach. Methods Seven non-seminomatous germ cell testicular tumor(NSGCT)patients of clinical stage Ⅰ underwent LRPLND through extraperitoneal approach.The average age was 31(27-39 years old),the average weight was 62 kg(weight 58-72 kg).Pathological examination revealed 2 testis mixed carcinoma(major of embryonal carclnoma and seminoma),2 yolk sac tumor,1 ehoriocarcinoma,2 teratoma with seminoma.Two of them were in right side,and 5 in left.All the chest X-ray,abdominal CT and bone scanning of them were normal before operation.All patients were general anesthetized.Three or 4 trocars were placed,from 2 of them two gasbags were used to expand the retroperitoneal space at volume of 800-900 ml.The retroperitoneal fat was cleared off from the surface of Gerota's fascia to iliac fossa and the plane spance betwwwn anterior rena fascia and posterior peritoneum was separated In the same way the Plane between dorsal renal and the surface of psoas major and quadratus lumborum unto iliae lossa was exposed.Abdominal aorta or vena cava was exposed,then divided and dissected free from surfaee of psoas maior.The conflux of renal vein and testicular vein at the deep face of renal artere(left)was exposed,then testicular vein was ligated and divided it at its end.Fat and lymph tissue between ureter and vessels was dissected to the crotch of abdominal aorta or inferior vena cava.The primary inguinal incision of testectomy was then excided.Normal antegrade ejaculation recovered in 1 month postoperatively. Results The initial 2 operations were converted to open way as the peritoneum were penetrated largely.The other 5 operations were successful.The average operating time was 285 min(245-350 min),intraoperative blood loss was 100-250 ml.Four patients'pathologic results accorded with clinical staging,and 2 positive lymph nodes were found in the other one.The average number of lymph node resected was 25.6 counts(22-31).Follow-up for 3-20 months,chest X-ray and abdominal CT revealed no evidence of recurrence or distant metastasis,and serum tumor markers were in normal range.Normal antegrade ejaculation recovered in 1 month postoperatively. Conclusions The technique through extraperitoneal approach could be applied for LRPLND.It might be an approach for diagnosis and treatment of stage Ⅰ NSGCT.

Background and purpose: The clinical and pathological characteristics and treatment strategy for the patients with testicular diffuse large B cell lymphoma still need to be further studied. This study was done to evaluate the diagnosis and strategy for the disease by retrospective analysis of 21 patients with testicular diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Methods: 21 patients with pathologically proved as diffuse large B cell lymphoma after surgery in the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center and The Guangzhou General Hospital of PLA from September 2002 to April 2009 were accrued. There were 3 in stage Ⅰ_E , 4 in stage Ⅱ_E , 5 in stage Ⅲ_E and 9 in stage Ⅳ according to Ann Arbor stage standard. All patients received adjuvant chemotherapy with CHOP regimen initially after operation. Radiotherapy or other salvage chemotherapy regimen was given after failure of the initial treatment. The follow-up information was collected for to all of the patients. Results: Follow-up time ranged from 10 to 83 months. After completion of first-line chemotherapy(CHOP), overall response rate was 72.2%(13/18)with complete remission (CR) rate of 33.3%(6/18)and partial response rate(PR) of 38.9%(7/18). 3 patients in stage Ⅰ_E survived free from disease until now. Tumor relapsed and refractory eases were observed in 10 patients, and they all showed little response to chemotherapy with a response rate of 30.0%(3/10). Among the 21 patients, 11(52.3%) cases died of the disease with a median survival time of 28 months. Of these 21 patients, 7 patients were CD10(+), 5 patients overexpressed bel-6, 12 patients were bcl-2(+), and 15 patients overexpressed MUM1.Overexpressed bcl-2 and MUM1 indicated bad prognosis. Conclusion: Most of the testieular diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients were non-GCB. And they were sensitive to CHOP chemotherapy. The results suggested that all patients should receive chemotherapy after surgery. It was curable in the early stage. However,the options of treatment method for the patients with relapsed and refractory cases are limited and need to be further explored.
