Objective To investigate the effects of clinical pathway-based teaching methods in clinical teaching of hematology. Methods Interns, which studied in department of hematology, were classified non-randomized into two groups. The interns in experimental group received idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) clinical pathway-based teaching. And the interns in the control group received the seventh edition textbook of medicine-based traditional teaching. All interns were oral tested when they finished two weeks period clinical studied of hematology. Meanwhile, a questionnaire designed for clinical pathway-based teaching was included in this test only for the experimental group. Results There were 32 interns recruited in the group of clinical pathway-based teaching and 38 interns in the control group of traditional teaching. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the fields of the key points about history of diseases ( = 0.0017), assessment of diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis ( =0.0074), selection of laboratory examination items ( <0.0001) for ITP. The group of clinical pathway-based teaching achieved higher scores than the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the field of selection of first-line treatment measure of ITP ( = 0.1155) . Moreover, the control group achieved higher scores than the group of clinical pathway-based teaching in the field of how to treat ITP patients with first-line treatment failure ( =0.0003) . In addition,there were 93.8%interns in the experimental group accepted the new clinical pathway-based teaching tool in the survey. The open-ended question survey showed the clinical pathway teaching method was more simple, intuitive and standardizing than the traditional one. Conclusion The ITP clinical pathway, as an interns teaching tool of hematology, is helpful for understanding more clearly the diagnosis and treatment of ITP. However, an in-depth explanation is necessary combination with textbook of medicine study in the clinical teaching of ITP.

Objective: To determine the relation dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histologic features and angiogenesis of breast disease. Methods: Forty patients with breast disease, diagnosed by histopathology were reviewed, including imaging and pathological data. Dynamic MRI was performed by a fat-suppressed 3D-FSPGR sequence ,Time-Signal curve was acquired by Functool 2 software, then early-phase enhancement rate and E max , T max were acquired. The mean MVD and VEGF expression of the lesions were measured with immunohistology. Evaluation of inflammatory changes was assessed by histology. Results: The MVD , VEGF expression and inflammatory scores of malignant tumor were significantly higher than that of benign tumor(P0.05), The Time-SI curve between malignant and benign was significant different(P

BACKGROUND: Monkeys, dogs, pigs, rabbits and other large animals have bean applied previously to prepare animal models of midpelatel suture expansion, but there are high cost, small sample size, difficult to obtain antibodies and other disadvantages, Wistar rats have wide heads to facilitate cavity operation, with low cost and high reproduction rata, as the midpalatal suture model, it is possible to overcome the above deficiencies. OBJECTIVE: To establish a rat model of midpalatal suture expansion, and to supply basement for further relative researches of animal models. METHODS: Twenty Wistar male rats of 5 weeks old, average weight of 65 g, were randomly divided into 2 groups, a experiment and a control, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in experimental group were placed on the expansion appliance, inserting into the diastema between the first and second molars, then stick to molar lingual using light-cured resin for retention. The rats in control group were sham operated, followed by one weak of active expansion. After expansion, the midpalatal sections were observed by X-ray and light microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Maxillary X-ray film showed that midpalatal suture in experimental group was significantly widened, molar lead to cheek. Observed by light microscopy, partial oral side of midpalatal suture in the experimental group was obviously enlarged, mesenchymst ceils were spindle, in the same direction to tension force, Below it, traumatic inflammatory response appeared, with a clear bleeding area. The midpalatal suture expansion model in rats is available, simple and reprodudble.

Electrolyte disturbance was prominent in patients with severe acute mountain sickness. In these patients hypoxia caused water and salt retension together with vasoactive substances and excessive free radicals might play important roles in the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). More attention should be given to electrolyte monitoring in dealing with these severe mountain sickness in field.

The postoperative pathological staging system (pTNM) has become an important reference for the selection of various tumor treatment strategies and prognosis evaluation at a global scale, and is a powerful predictor of the prognosis of a variety of solid tumors, but the prognosis is still different in patients with the same pTNM staging. In recent years, studies have confirmed that the negative lymph nodes count (NLNC) is related to the prognosis of a variety of solid tumors. Higher NLNC can improve the prognosis of cancer patients, and NLNC can reduce staging migration, which is expected to be a supplement to the pTNM staging system. This article reviews the value of NLNC in the prognosis of solid tumors.

Objective To explore the influence of negative lymph node count (NLNC) on the prognosis of patients with gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRC) and develop a prognostic nomogram based on NLNC. Methods On the basis of the SEER database, 2 101 patients diagnosed with GSRC were collected and randomly divided into the modeling group and validation group to test the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis of GSRC. The multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting overall survival and establish a prognostic prediction model. The consistency index (C-index), calibration curve, net reclassification index (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the accuracy and clinical applicability of the nomogram. Results All patients were divided according to the ratio of 7:3, with 1 473 in the modeling group and 628 in the validation group. NLNC > 10 (
