Objective:The aim of the study was to develop a transcultural adaptation of Scrub Practitioners ′ List of Intraoperative Non-technical Skills to Chinese. Methods:The translation of SPLINTS was based on the Brislin ′s translation model and expert consultation were conducted for cultural adaptation before the Chinese version was accomplished. The content validity of Chinese version scale was evaluated by Delphi method. The applicability and observer reliability of the tool was tested by behavioral observation of simulate videos. Results:The positive coefficients of experts in the first and second rounds were both 100% and the authority coefficients were 0.802 and 0.906 respectively. The concordancy coefficients of expert Kendall were 0.282-0.433( P<0.05). The results of Delphi expert consultation showed that the average content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) of the scale level was 0.93, and the item level (I-CVI) content validity index was 0.87-1.00. The rater training showed that the intra-observer reliability was 0.75-0.96 and inter-observer reliability (Kendall W) was 0.502-0.557( P<0.01). Conclusion:The cross-cultural adaptation of SPLINTS-Chinese version is scientific and reliable. The content validation and observer reliability are in-line with scale evaluation criteria. Further psychometric measurement can be conducted in the group of scrub nurses in the operating room.
2. Research progress on non-technical skills assessment tools for surgical teams
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2019;35(15):1196-1200
The concept and the importance of non-technical skills, relevant influence factors and assessment tools were reviewed. Introduction of non-technical skills measuring tool used at home and abroad from object, content, evaluation method, the result and the application status, then puts forward thinking for the lack of assessment tools. To evaluate the present situation of non-technical skills of the surgical team and members as well as to offer suggestion to improve training effect.

Extended circulation of anticancer nanodrugs in blood stream is essential for their clinical applications. However, administered nanoparticles are rapidly sequestered and cleared by cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). In this study, we developed a biomimetic nanosystem that is able to efficiently escape MPS and target tumor tissues. The fabricated nanoparticles (TM-CQ/NPs) were coated with fibroblast cell membrane expressing tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL). Coating with this functionalized membrane reduced the endocytosis of nanoparticles by macrophages, but increased the nanoparticle uptake in tumor cells. Importantly, this membrane coating specifically induced tumor cell apoptosis via the interaction of TRAIL and its cognate death receptors. Meanwhile, the encapsulated chloroquine (CQ) further suppressed the uptake of nanoparticles by macrophages, and synergized with TRAIL to induce tumor cell apoptosis. The vigorous antitumor efficacy in two mice tumor models confirmed our nanosystem was an effective approach to address the MPS challenge for cancer therapy. Together, our TM-CQ/NPs nanosystem provides a feasible approach to precisely target tumor tissues and improve anticancer efficacy.
