Objective To explore the effecr of problem-based leaming(PBL) in emergency clinic skill training.Methods Totally 65 students participating in emergency clinical skill training in The Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled.Thirty-three 2008 grade five-year clinic majors as control group were taught by traditional teaching method while Thirty-two 2009 grade five-year clinic majors as experimental group were taught by PBL.After the courses,final examinations (theoretical exam,case analysis and skill appraisal) and questionnaire smvey were used to evaluate the teaching effectiveness between the two groups.Data were managed by SPSS 13.0 software package.Quantitative data between two groups were compared by t-test.Enumeration data between two groups were compared by chi-square test.Results There was no difference in theoretical score between two groups(P=0.212).Scores of case analysis and skill appraisal in experimental group were higher than those in control group (P＜0.05).There were significant differences between experimental group and control group in arousing students' learning interest,promoting understanding of knowledge,cultivating clinical comprehensive ability,increasing communication skills,improving team cooperation ability and clinical operating ability(P＜0.05).Conclusions PBL mode is better than traditional teaching methods in emergency clinical skill training.PBL can improve students' clinical comprehensive ability and emergency operations can be perfectly applied in clinic typical cases.

Objective To analyze the possible prognostic factors of thoracic-esophageal cancer patients with lymph node (LN) metastasis after esophagectomy plus three-field lymphadenectomy.Methods 590 esophageal cancer patients with LN metastasis after esophagectomy plus three-field lymphadenectomy were recruited from Jan.1993 to Mar.2007,and the prognostic factors and causes of postoperative failure were analyzed.Results Five-year survival in the whole sample was 29.6％.While the 5-year survival in different subgroups with 1-2,3-6 or ＞ 7 metastatic LNs were 41.2％,22.2％ and 7.0％ (x2 =62.158,P ＜0.0001),respectively.Univariate analysis showed that tumor site,disease length,T stage,number of metastatic LN and the seventh edition of AJCC staging system were prognostic factors.Multivariate analysis indicated that tumor site and number of metastatic LN were two independent prognostic factors.Conclusion Tumor site and number of metastatic LN were independent prognostic factors influencing the outcome of esophageal cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of sinomenine on hind limb ischemia?reperfusion ( I∕R) injury and expression of Bcl?2 and Bax in skeletal muscle cells of rats. Methods Fifty?four healthy adult male Wistar rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 180-220 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table: sham operation group ( group S) , group I∕R and sinomenine group ( group SIN) . The rats were subjected to 4 h of ischemia on the proximal part of the right hind limb using elastic rubber bands followed by reperfusion in I∕R and SIN groups. Sinomenine 60 mg∕kg was injected intraperito?neally at 30 min before reperfusion in group SIN, and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of sinomenine at 30 min before reperfusion in S and I∕R groups. Immediately after onset of reperfusion and at 4 and 24 h of reperfusion, blood samples were collected from the cardiac apex to measure the concentra?tions of serum lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) and creatine kinase ( CK) . The animals were sacrificed imme?diately after blood sampling, and the gastrocnemius specimens of the hind limb were immediately removed for determination of the wet to dry weight ratio ( W∕D ratio) and expression of Bcl?2 and Bax in gastrocnemi?us cells ( by immunohistochemistry) and for examination of the pathological changes after haematoxylin and eosin staining. The Bcl?2∕Bax ratio was calculated. Results Compared with group S, the gastrocnemius W∕D ratio and concentrations of serum LDH and CK were significantly increased, the expression of Bcl?2 was significantly down?regulated, the expression of Bax was significantly up?regulated, and the Bcl?2∕Bax
ratio was significantly decreased in I∕R and SIN groups ( P<0?05) . Compared with group I∕R, the gastroc?nemius W∕D ratio and concentrations of serum LDH and CK were significantly decreased, the expression of Bcl?2 was significantly up?regulated, the expression of Bax was significantly down?regulated, and the Bcl?2∕Bax ratio was significantly increased in group SIN ( P<0?05) . The pathological changes of the gastrocne?mius were significantly attenuated in group SIN as compared with group I∕R. Conclusion Sinomenine can attenuate hind limb I∕R injury, and the mechanism may be related to maintenance of the balance between Bcl?2 and Bax and to inhibition of apoptosis in skeletal muscle cells of rats.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression of serum exsomal miRNA-155-5p (miR-155-5p) and prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods:A total of 336 samples from ESCC patients in Fujian Provincial Cancer Hospital from October 2014 to December 2015 were collected. The relative expression levels of serum exsomal miR-155-5p were detected by using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cut-off value of the expression levels of serum exsomal miR-155-5p was determined by using X-tile software. Based on the optimal cut-off value, patients were divided into miR-155-5p low expression group and miR-155-5p high expression group. The survival curve was drawn by using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to make survival analysis.Results:The cut-off value of serum exsomal miR-155-5p expression level was 2.340. According to the cut-off value, patients were divided into miR-155-5p low expression group (<2.340) of 51 cases and miR-155-5p high expression group (≥2.340) of 285 cases. There were no statistical differences in age ( χ2 = 0.020, P = 0.887), gender ( χ2 = 0.283, P = 0.595), tumor location ( χ2 = 0.063, P = 0.977), differentiation grade ( P = 0.474), clinical staging ( χ2 = 3.996, P = 0.136) and surgery treatment ( χ2 = 0.941, P = 0.332) of patients in both groups. ESCC patients in serum exsomal miR-155-5p high expression had a higher risk of death compared with patients in miR-155-5p low expression group ( HR = 1.763, 95% CI 1.049-2.961, P = 0.032). Conclusion:The high expression level of serum exsomal miR-155-5p is associated with poor prognosis in ESCC patients and it could be used as a prognostic new marker in ESCC patients.

AIM:To investigate the effect of liraglutide ( LG) on the expression of fibronectin type Ⅲdomain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) in the C2C12 myotubes.METHODS:The C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line was induced to differentiation.Differentiated cells were stimulated with gradient concentrations (1 ~1000 nmol/L) of LG for different time (0 ~24 h).The effects of LG on the expression of FNDC5 and the activation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate ( AMP)-activated protein kinase ( AMPK) signaling pathway were determined .After pretreated with glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ) receptor antagonist exendin 9-39 , the inhibitor of Ca 2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2), STO609, or the inhibitor of AMPK, Compound C, the LG-induced FNDC5 expression in C2C12 myotubes was examined.The expression of FNDC5 and the activation of AMPK were determined by Western blot .RESULTS: In C2C12 myotubes, LG promoted the expression of FNDC5 in a dose-and time-dependent manner .LG also activated AMPK signaling pathway .These effects of LG were partly abolished by exendin 9-39 , STO609 and Compound C .CONCLUSION:LG promotes the expression of FNDC5 via GLP-1 receptor in the C2C12 myotubes possibly through activation of the CAMKK2/AMPK signaling pathways .

Objective To explore the efficacy of process management on bladder function among traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients admitted to intensive rehabilitation and care unit (IRCU). Methods 33 cases were collected to control group who were cared with routing nursing during February, 2011 to December, 2012. Other 39 cases were recruited to trial group cared with process management of bladder function during January, 2013 to December, 2014. Process management of bladder function contained the establishment of process manage-ment guide, evaluation of removing catheter, nursing of bladder based on residue of urine volume and keeping a diary of urination, etc. Re-sults There were more cases with residue of urine volume less than 100 ml and less with catheter associated urinary tract infection in the tri-al group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Process management of bladder function can improve the recovery of bladder func-tion of TBI patients, shorten rehabilitation time and decrease the risk of catheter associated urinary tract infection.

Objectives Aiming at the current health management mode of chronic disease preven-tion and control as the focus of work, this paper was to evaluate the effect of chronic disease management-based education on clinical teaching and training in cardiovascular medicine. Methods Totally 54 students participating in internship training in Department of Cardiology, the Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital be-tween July 2013 and Aug 2014 were enrolled. Twenty-eight students were taught by chronic disease man-agement-based method while twenty-six students were taught by traditional method. After the internship training in cardiology, final examination (theoretical exam, skill appraisal and case analysis) were compared between the two groups to assess the teaching efficacy. Questionnaire survey was employed to investigate student satisfaction with chronic disease management-based teaching method. Data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Quantitative data or enumeration data between two groups were compared by t-test or chi-square test respectively. Results There was no significant difference in the theoretical exam score between two groups (P=0.422). However, the scores of skill appraisal and case analysis in students taught by chronic disease management-based method were significantly higher than those in students taught by traditional method (P<0.05). Most students taught by chronic disease management-based method were satisfied with the novel teaching method. Conclusion In the course of clinical medicine education, the emphasis on the management of chronic diseases can not only significantly improve the quality of clinical teaching in car-diovascular medicine, but also lay the foundation for the implementation of the concept of chronic disease management.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted surgery for Siewert I adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEJ).

METHODSClinical data of 36 patients who underwent left transthoracic dissection of lower mediastinal lymph node followed by laparoscopy D2 lymph node dissection for Siewert I AEJ in the Fujian Provincial Cancer Hospital between March 2008 and March 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. A left thoracic-abdominal single incision was used without transection of costal arch. Celiac lymph nodes dissection was performed laparoscopically followed by left transthoracic dissection of lower mediastinal lymph node. Digestive tract reconstruction was carried out by esophagus-gastric posterior wall end-to-side anastomosis.

RESULTSLaparoscopy-assisted surgery was successfully achieved in all the 36 patients and there were no in-hospital deaths. The mean operation time, blood loss and number of harvested lymph node were (216.4±46.0) min, (252.1±41.1) ml and 30.7±3.2 respectively. All the procedures were R0 resections. The complication rate was 16.7% (6/36). All the complications were managed by conservative treatment, and there were no re-operations. The lymphatic metastasis rate was 50.0% (18/36), and the lymph node groups with high metastatic rate (all >10.0%) were groups 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 110 and 111. The median follow-up was 25 months. The overall 3-year survival was 48.0%.

CONCLUSIONLaparoscopy-assisted surgery for Siewert I AEJ is safe and feasible.
