The concept of "hand-foot" teaching method was first formed and applied in orthopedic teaching. In the class of bone and joint anatomy and diseases, the students can understand them more thoroughly and memorize them more easily by gestures of hands and feet. In learning the classification of lumbar disc herniation, the body is compared to the dural sac and the arms are compared to the nerve roots, which perfectly explains the types of lumbar disc herniation. The clinical manifestations of nerve injury in limbs were explained by the anatomical similarity of upper and lower limbs. We also explain the position variation of appendix by different directions of the thumb. In the same way, the "hand-foot" teaching method are used to explain the female reproductive system and so on. The "hand-foot" method has been widely applied in clinical teaching of many disciplines and achieved good effect in teaching practice.

Objective:To evaluate the practical effect of online teaching based on reflective experience to promote the cultivation of professional core competence of nursing.Methods:A total of 160 intern nurses who entered the clinic from July 2019 to December 2019 in The Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University were selected as the research subjects, and they were randomized into a control group and an experimental group, with 80 nurses in each group. Both groups were given the creation of clinical practice teaching online classroom under the existing nursing online teaching framework. The control group conducted general online course education, and the experimental group created a problem-solving reflective experience course task and teaching process from the core competence training content of nursing. After the internship, the core competence assessment of the standardized training for nursing major was conducted, and the difference in teaching was evaluated using the "Nurse Core Competency Scale" and the self-designed "Teaching Acceptance Questionnaire". SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The excellent rates of the professional theory and practical skills assessments of the students in the experimental group were 58.75% (47/80) and 51.25% (41/80), which were higher than those in the control group, 48.75% (39/80) and 31.25% (25/80). The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the comparison of the "Core Competency Scale" of nurses between the two groups of nurse students, the total score of the experimental group and the score of each dimension were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). They survey of "Teaching Acceptance Questionnaire" showed that the nursing students of the experimental group had higher recognition of the teaching methods of this group, and there were significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Carrying out online training content of clinical practice teaching based on reflective experience is conducive to the establishment of core competence of nursing students and the improvement of clinical practice ability.

Objective:
To study the epidemiological characteristics of tsutsugamushi disease, and to confirm the existence of the disease's epidemic foci in Taizhou.
Methods:
From 2013 to 2014, Dongxing town hospital and Xingqiao town hospital were selected as specimen collection sites in Jingjiang city. Blood samples (5 ml) were collected from 40 patients with acute tsutsugamushi disease. A total of 59 rodents were captured with cage night method in the survey sites at 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11 months in 2013, from which, the spleen, liver, and kidney specimens were selected. Chigger mites were captured by small blackboard method and from the ears of the captured rodents. A total of 226 small blackboards were laid, 27 mites were captured, and the samples were grounded into suspension. Nested-polymerase chain reaction and cell and tissue culture techniques were used to test the specimen from the probable patients, host animals and chigger mites.
Results:
Among the 40 acute tsutsugamushi disease blood samples, 29 were found to meet the test requirements, 17 were positive for orientia tsutsugamushi nucleic acid with 59% of the positive rate, and 1 stran orientia tsutsugamushi was isolated. 59 rats were captured and the density of mice was 5.5%. Among them, there were 26 Mus musculus (2.4%), 18 Rattus flavipectus (1.7%) and 15 Smelly shrew (density 1.4%). 1 Smelly shrew was tested positive for orientia tsutsugamushi nucleic acid, and the negative results were found in the other rodent specimens. 27 Chigge mites were collected by small blackboard method and the density of mites was 0.12 for each blackboard, among which 3 larvae and 24 nymphs were found. 33 Chigger mites were collected from the ears of 3 Smelly shrew, and the density of the mite was 11 per mouse. All the captured Chigger mites were identified as Leptotrombidium scutellare and 1 group of specimens of Chigger mites from the external environment were positive for orientia tsutsugamushi nucleic acid.
Conclusion
There was a high density of mice in the epidemic area from May to November and the species of the chigger mites were Chigger mites in Taizhou. The nucleic acid of the oriental tsutsugamushi was detected in the patients with acute scrub typhus, rodents and vectors. According to the above-mentioned results, it was considered that the scrub typhus epidemic area of Taizhou city has the natural foci of scrub typhus.

The understanding of heart embryonic development and structure can contribute to improve our leaning of the etiology, pathophysiology and classification of congenital heart disease in humans, which has become the focus of echocardiography teaching. Meanwhile the difficulties and problems formed because of its diverse and fragmented theoretical knowledge. "Hand as foot" teaching method is a kind of teaching method using intuitive body language combined with the thought of analogy, so as to make teaching content relatively simplistic and figurative. Our study has demonstrated this method can be used in a constructive way to improve course content and delivery for echocardiography teaching to assess patent foramen ovale for standardized residency training of cardiac ultrasound, and achieved a good teaching effect. The specific implementation approaches and effect of this method are described in detail. This paper also explores the potential feasibility and benefits of the application of using "Hand as foot" teaching method in echocardiography teaching.

Objective To explore the value of medical three-dimensional visualization technology in preoperative precise assessment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The clinical data of 24 HCC patients were analyzed retrospectively from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016 in our department.Thin-layer 320-slice CT scaning was performed and data stored in the form of DICOM.Three dimensional reconstruction and simulated hepatectomy were conducted,and correlation test analysis was performed.Results The volume of simulated resected liver was (565 ± 296)ml,while the actual liver resection volume was(523 ± 252)ml.There was no significant difference between the predicted and the actual values (t =1.734,P > 0.05).The actual liver resection volume was positively correlated with the predicted liver resection volume (r =0.920,P < 0.05).The stimulated resection margin was (1.2 ± 0.6)cm,while the actual resected tumor margin was (1.0 ± 0.5) cm.There was no significant difference between the predicted and the actual values (t =1.853,P >0.05).The actual margin was positively correlated with the predicted one (r =0.956,P < 0.05).Conclusion The three-dimensional visualization technology has a certain degree of clinical value in the preoperative evaluation of HCC.
