AIM: To evaluate the application and effect of questionnaire based on professional knowledge method combined with problem - based learning ( PBL ) in ophthalmology short-term teaching.
METHODS: Ninety non ophthalmic students of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to August 2015 were randomly divided into observation group (45 students) and control group (45 students). Observation group: using questionnaire based on professional knowledge method combined with PBL teaching method; the control group: using traditional teaching method.
RESULTS: The survey results showed that: non ophthalmic students were unfamiliar with eye diseases knowledge; there was no significant difference in the clinical operation examination between the 2 groups (P>0. 05 ). There were significant differences in the eye disease knowledge, eye disease knowledge related to their own major and the total score between the 2 groups (P< 0. 05), especially students in the observation group had higher scores of eye disease knowledge related to their own major. There was no significant difference in the rate of improvement of learning pressure between the 2 groups (P> 0. 05), the differences of improvement rate on other problems between 2 groups was statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ), and the improvement rate was higher in the observation group.
CONCLUSION: Questionnaire based on professional knowledge combined with PBL teaching method can effectively improve the learning effect in ophthalmology teaching.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast (IMPC),and the distinction between IMPC and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast (IDC).Methods From February 2004 to November 2013,195 IMPC patients and 420 IDC patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were significant differences in mammilla invasion,lymph vessel invasion,orange peel sign,soft tissue encroachment,neoadjuvant chemotherapy,radical mastcctomy,lymph node metastasis,clinical stages,tumor size,lymph node staging,estrogen receptor (ER),progestin receptor (PR),human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2),molecular subtyping,ratio of radiation,ratio of endocrine therapy,disease-free survival (DFS),overall survival (OS)between the two groups,all P ＜0.05.Patients with IMPC had lower 5-year DFS and OS rates (68.2％ and 73.8％,respectively) than IDC patients (85.7％ and 88.6％,respectively),all P ＜ 0.05.In IMPC patients with positive ER/PR,HER2-negative,smaller tumor volume,less lymph node metastasis,negative nipple invasion,negative lymphatic vessel tumor thrombus,negative orange peel change had higher 5-year DFS and OS rates than those with negative ER/PR,HER2 overexpression,larger tumor volume,more lymph node metastasis,positive nipple invasion,positive lymphatic vessel tumor thrombus,positive orange peel change,all P ＜ 0.05.Besides,the patients with pathologic stage Ⅰ had higher OS than those with stage Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05).Cox regression analysis found that orange peel change,lymph vessel invasion and HER2 were the independent risk factors for the survival time of patients with IMPC.Conclusions IMPC patients have lower DFS and OS compared with IDC.

Objective To analyze the epidemic situation of human brucellosis in Qinghai province,in order to provide a theoretical basis for prevention and treatment of brucellosis.Methods Five counties in Qinghai province(Ping'an county,Haiyan county,Tianjun county,Dari county and Henan county) were selected as monitoring counties in 2010,and three or four townships were selected as monitoring points in each county.People aged 7 to 60 close contacted with livestock were monitored.The methods of rose bengal plate agglutination test(RBPT) and standard tube agglutination test (SAT) were used for serological testing.Brucellosis diagnosis was based on Brucellosis Diagnostic Criteria(WS 269-2007).Results A total of 2021 high-risk subjects from 5 counties were examined for brucellosis,and 76(by RBPT) of them were serologically confirmed with a positive rate of 3.76％ (76/2021),SAT positive 15 persons,the average positive rate was 0.74％ (15/2021).The number of infections was 15 cases,average prevalence was 0.74％(15/2021 ),and 3 new eases were discovered.The seasonal peak of incidence was from February to June.Most of the eases were reported dealing with slaughtering and fur processing.Conclusions The main reasons for epidemic rise are that the source of infection is not completely clear and weak awareness of self-protection in employees.So we must strengthen the quarantine,do surveillance on occupational groups and epidemic reporting work,carry out vocational training,strengthen publicity and education,and enhance the protection awareness.Thus brucellosis epidemic will be effectively controlled.

Objective To prepare serum calibrators for CRP measurement.Methods Fresh serum without infectious diseases , hemolysis, lipemia and choloplania were collected and divided into 3 groups, low, medium, and high, according to the CRP concentration.Each serum pool was mixed , filtered, sterilized and aliquoted.The materials were tested for homogeneity and stability.The values of the CRP was assigned by particle enhanced immunonephelpmetry , and calibrated with international reference materials.The expanded uncertainty was evaluated.Results The materials were tested to be homogeneous (Ubb﹤Ur, P>0.05) with Ubb values being 0, 0.125, 0, Ur values being 0.046, 0.213, 0.785, and F values being 0.803, 1.686, 0.966 in CL, CM, CH groups respectively.Stability study, where F values are 0.609, 0.259, and 1.557 at 22-25℃, 1.217, 4.583, and 0.893 at 2-8℃(P>0.05), showed that the materials were stable for at least 3 days at 22-25 ℃or 30 days at 2-8 ℃, respectively.The certified values of the 3 levels materials for CRP were ( 2.64 ±0.14 ) , ( 31.17 ±0.63 ) , ( 73.85 ±1.74 ) mg/L, respectively.Conclusion The calibrators prepared for serum CRP measurement were homogeneous , stable and accurately assigned and can be used to calibrate the CRP measure system.

Objective To construct a conceptual framework of a lifestyle questionnaire and define its dimensions,sub-dimensions and core data elements.Methods After review of lifestyle questionnaires of large-scale studies,domestic and international health information standards,health risk factors defined by the World Health Organization and paper-based health records,a conceptual framework was developed by using top-down and bottom-up strategies.Core data elements were chosen according to their importance,utility and experts' advice.Results Our conceptual framework included 9 dimensions (cigarette smoking,alcohol consumption,diet,water drinking,employment,physical exercises,daily living habits,sleep and toxic exposure) and 29 sub-dimensions.For instance,cigarette smoking included status,intensity,duration of smoking and kinds of tobacco.Furthermore,24 core data elements were extracted,and coded values were defined for parts of these data elements.Conclusions Our conceptual framework may serve as a reference for the development of lifestyle questionnaire,and the standardized data elements we extracted could be used in information exchang between institutions.However,standardization of the data elements should be further refined.

Objective: To analyze the status of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D[25 (OH)D] in children aged 0-6 years in Gansu Province, and to analyze the relationships between 25 (OH)D and age, seasonal characteristics and physical development, so as to provide a scientific reference for supplementing vitamin D for children in due time. Methods: Stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select a total of 9 790 children aged 0-6 years from 6 cities and prefectures maternity and child health institutions in Gansu Province for health examination from January 2019 to December 2020. Serum 25 (OH)D concentration from 1 mL peripheral blood was tested by enzyme linked immunoassay. Subjects were classified into overweight and normal figure groups based on weight for height. Results: the serum 25 (OH)D level M(P 25 ,P 75 ) of the children aged 0-6 was 81.31(63.14, 95.86)nmol/L. The detection rate of 25 (OH)D deficiency and insufficiency was 45.11%. The serum 25 (OH)D level of children 4- 6 years old was significantly lower than that of infants <1 year old and children 1-<4 years old, and the detection rate of 25 (OH)D deficiency and insufficiency was highest among 4-6 years old( χ 2=83.67, P <0.05). In winter the proportion of 25 (OH)D insufficiency and deficiency was highest (55.82%) ( χ 2=194.12, P <0.01). For overweight children, the abnormal rate of 25 (OH)D (19.83%) was significantly higher in autumn ( P <0.01). Conclusion Children s vitamin D levels were associated with age, season and physical development. Vitamin D surveillance should be focused on ages less than 1 year old and above 4 years old, winter should be an important season. For overweight children, autumn should be the focus period for vitamin D deficiency prevention.
