Objective To evaluate the prognostic impact of a wide spectrum of pathologic parameters in a consecutive series of homogenously treated and well-characterized patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, and to investigate the prognostic value of lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) in disease-free survival rate detected by immunohistochemistry with epithelial membrane antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen. Methods The study included 126 patients operated on by a single surgeon for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal tumors. The postoperative follow-up was performed for 64 to 106 months. At least 10 lymph nodes were harvested and examined in all the specimens. The prognostic value of 10 pathologic parameters, including lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) detected by immunohistochemistry was investigated. Results Multivariate analysis identified lymphatic vessel invasion (absent or present;P=0.009) in lymph node positive and negative by immunohistochemistry. The five-year disease-free survival rates were 78.7%, 65.5% and 43.8% for the lymph node negative, isolated tumor cells and micrometastasis groups, respectively. There was significant difference between the lymph node negative and micrometastasis groups (P=0.005). However, the difference between the lymph node negative and isolated tumor cells groups was not statistically significant (P=0.144). Conclusions We propose that for patients found micrometastasis in lymph node with high-risk stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, adjuvant therapies are justified and effective.

Objective We aimed to compare the critical thinking ability between clinical nurses and college nursing students at different grades so as to provide scientific references for reform in nursing education and nursing practice. Methods A total of 287 clinical nurses and 656 nurses in grade one and grade three underwent the investigation by adopting Chinese version of critical thinking disposition inventory (CTDI-CV). Results The total scores of CTDI-CV of nursing students in grade one, nursing students in grade three and clinical nurses were (292.82±26.41), (284.71±26.20) and (290.58±24.87). Statistical difference existed between these groups. The scores of open-mindedness, inquisitiveness and maturity of judgement of nursing students in grade one and grade three were higher than that of the clinical nurses, while the scores of systematicity and self-confidence of critical thinking were less than that of the clinical nurses. Conclusions The current nursing education system needs further reform. At the same time we should also promote the transform of modern clinical nursing model.

Objective:To understand the epidemic characteristics of epidemic Japanese encephalitis and the antibody level of healthy people in Longnan City, Gansu Province, analyze and evaluate its epidemic risk, and provide scientific basis for future prevention and control of Japanese encephalitis.Methods:By retrospective analysis, the data of Japanese encephalitis cases in Longnan City from 2015 to 2020 were collected from the "Japanese Encephalitis Monitoring Information Report Management System" of the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System", and the distributions of the cases(time, region and population distribution) were statistically described and analyzed. In 2018, the cluster stratified sampling method was adopted to select Li County and Xihe County with higher incidence rate of Japanese encephalitis in Longnan City, and Wudu District and Hui County with lower incidence rate as monitoring sites, and 3 administrative villages (communities) were selected from each monitoring site to collect blood samples from healthy people to detect the level of Japanese encephalitis IgG antibodies.Results:From 2015 to 2020, a total of 261 cases of Japanese encephalitis were reported in Longnan City, with an average annual incidence of 1.66 per 100 000; among them, the number of reported cases in 2017 and 2018 accounted for 82.38% (215/261) of the total number of cases. The incidence of Japanese encephalitis was mainly concentrated in August, accounting for 72.03% (188/261); 9 counties (districts) in Longnan City had reported cases of Japanese encephalitis, and the top 5 counties (districts) with the number of cases were Li County (68 cases), Xihe County (64 cases), Wudu District (40 cases), Kang County (33 cases) and Cheng County (18 cases), accounting for 85.44% (223/261) of the total number of cases. The age of onset of Japanese encephalitis cases was mainly concentrated in the 40 - < 60 years old, accounting for 40.23% (105/261); male to female ratio was 1.00 ∶ 1.14 (122 ∶ 139); the occupation was mainly farmers, accounting for 75.86% (198/261). A total of 887 sera samples from healthy people were tested, and the antibody positive rate was 91.09% (808/887); the difference in antibody positive rate of different age groups was statistically significant (χ 2 = 5.77, P < 0.05); the differences of positive rate of antibodies between different genders and regions were not statistically significant (χ 2 = 0.45, 2.06, P > 0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of Japanese encephalitis in Longnan City is mainly middle-aged farmers, with a high incidence in August each year. After the outbreak of Japanese encephalitis in Longnan City in 2017 and 2018, it has showed a low epidemic trend, and the positive rate of Japanese encephalitis antibody in healthy people is high. It is recommended to carry out regular monitoring of Japanese encephalitis immunization level of healthy people and strengthen the immunization of key populations in time.

Objective:To investigate the orthopedists' cognition on Chinese Osteoarthritis Guideline (2018 Edition).Methods:Questionnaire about Chinese Osteoarthritis Guideline (2018 Edition) was developed and sent to orthopedists via an invitation link to fill out after authorization from Chinese Osteoarthritis Association. The content of the questionnaire included the basic personal information of the physician, the awareness rate of the guidelines, the evaluation of the guidelines, and its application effects. The survey duration was from September 2019 to December 2019. Multivariate logistic regression and linear regression analysis were performed for the guideline awareness rate and comprehensive score, respectively.Results:A total of 628 physicians completed the questionnaire, of which 623 of 628 (99.2%) were available. About 72.4% of the orthopedists knew the guideline. The awareness rate was statistically related to the education of the physicians ( P<0.05). Respondents' overall score for the guideline was 8.39 with methodological score 8.28. A total of 41.2% of orthopedists thought that the guideline was very good compared with the European and American guidelines, and the clinical problem coverage rate was 78.6%. There is a statistically significant difference in the appraisal of the recommendations ( χ2=138.9, P<0.05) . More than 40% of orthopedists believed that the guidelines were of great help to orthopedists and patients, and that the guide could be promoted to the primary hospitals. Conclusion:After one year publication of Chinese Osteoarthritis Guideline (2018 Edition), most orthopedists have understood the present guideline and applied recommendations in clinical practice. However, the guideline need to be further promoted and disseminated in the future.

【Objective】 To study the effect of macrophage mediator 1 (MED1) deficiency on atherosclerosis in female mice. 【Methods】 ApoE knockout (ApoE-/-), LDLR knockout (LDLR-/-), MED1fl/fl, and macrophage MED1 knockout (MED1△Mac) mice were recruited in the study. Two types of mouse model were constructed:ApoE and macrophage MED1 double knockout (MED1△Mac/ApoE-/-) mice and their littermate controls (MED1fl/fl/ApoE-/-). ② LDLR knockout (LDLR-/-) mice receiving bone marrow from MED1△Mac (MED1△Mac→LDLR-/-) or MED1fl/fl (MED1fl/fl→LDLR-/-) mice. Female mice from these two models were fed a Western diet (21% fat and 0.15% cholesterol) for 12 weeks to promote the development of atherosclerosis. Body weight, total cholesterol (TC), and total triglyceride (TG) content in plasma were measured dynamically. After Western diet feeding for 12 weeks, aortic tree and aortic root were collected and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and oil red O staining were performed. 【Results】 Plasma TC and TG did not significantly differ between MED1fl/fl/ApoE-/- control group and MED1△Mac/ApoE-/-experimental group. However, the plaque area in aortic tree and aortic root was significantly increased in MED1△Mac/ApoE-/-mice. Moreover, compared with that in MED1fl/fl→LDLR-/- control group, the plaque area of aortic tree and aortic root had an increasing trend in MED1△Mac→LDLR-/- mice group. 【Conclusion】 MED1 deficiency in macrophages promotes the development of atherosclerosis in female ApoE or LDLR knockout mice.
