OBJECTIVETo study the activation of platelets in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) at molecular level.

METHODSThe expression of platelet surface glycoproteins CD(41), CD(42a), CD(61), CD(62p) and CD(63) in 20 KD patients was measured by flow cytometry before and at 1, 2, 3 week after treatment with aspirin and high-dose (1 approximately 2 g/kg) intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIG).

RESULTSThe expression of glycoprotein CD(41), CD(42a), CD(61), CD(62p) and CD(63) were higher in KD group than in control group. Aspirin and IVIG could not inhibit these high expression of glycoproteins. Higher expression of CD(62p) was observed in patients with coronary artery injury.

CONCLUSIONPlatelets were highly activated in KD patients which may be one of the most important pathophysiological step in KD. It provided a theoretical basis for treatment of KD with antagonist of glycoprotein of platelets. Obviously increase of CD(62p) can be taken as a criterion for predicting coronary artery injury in KD patients.

Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for clinical practice effectiveness of undergraduate nursing students, so as to provide a basis for the evaluation of clinical practice effectiveness of undergraduate nursing students.Methods:Based on the improved Miller's pyramid theory, a preliminary evaluation index system for clinical practice effectiveness of nursing undergraduate students was formed by literature analysis and semi-structured interview method. From April to July 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 20 experts in nursing education, clinical nursing teaching, and other fields. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, a final evaluation index system for clinical practice effectiveness of undergraduate nursing students was formed, and the weights of each index were determined.Results:After two rounds of consultation, the effective response rates of the questionnaire were 95.00% (19/20) and 100.00% (19/19), respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.86 and 0.88, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.226 and 0.183 ( P<0.01). The final established evaluation index system for clinical practice effectiveness of undergraduate nursing students included five primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 56 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:Based on the improved Miller's pyramid theory, the evaluation index system for clinical practice effectiveness of undergraduate nursing students constructed is scientific, reliable, and practical, which can provide reference for the evaluation of clinical practice for undergraduate nursing students.
