Objective:To analyze the results of the practice test and formal test of the annual professional proficiency test for residents in 2022, to investigate related influencing factors and the effectiveness of the practice test, and to propose the measures for improving the results of the annual professional proficiency test.Methods:The scores of the annual professional proficiency test were analyzed for 202 residents who participated in the test in 2022, and the data on sex, education background, type of personnel, whether they passed the medical licensing examination, and practice test scores were analyzed to investigate related influencing factors. SPSS 23.0 and GraphPad Prism 8 were used for the chi-square test, the t-test, the one-way of variance, and the Fisher's exact test. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors, and a Pearson correlation analysis was also performed. Results:The scores of the annual professional proficiency test for 202 residents were normally distributed with the highest number of the residents with a score of 90-99 points and the lowest number of the residents with a score of <70 points. The residents who passed the medical licensing examination had a significantly higher score of the annual professional proficiency test than those who failed the examination ( t=2.87, P=0.005), and the residents who passed the three practice tests had a significantly higher score of the annual professional proficiency test than those who failed the practice tests ( P<0.05). The score of the second practice test, the score of the third practice test, and the passing of medical licensing examination were independent influencing factors for the score of annual professional proficiency test ( R2=0.236, R2=0.201, F=6.60, P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the scores of the three practice tests were positively correlated with the final score ( r=0.189, 0.373, and 0.311, P<0.05). Conclusions:Improving the passing rate of medical licensing examination and strengthening pre-examination practice tests can help to improve the score of annual professional proficiency test. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of training through the measures such as strengthening the homogenization management of different types of students, improving the attention and enthusiasm of all levels, and accelerating the construction of question banks.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of classical prescription versus antihistamines in the treatment of eczema. METHODS :Retrieved from CBM and CNKI ,randomized controlled trials (RCTs)about classical prescription(trial group )versus antihistamines (control group )in the treatment of eczema were collected. The qualities of included literatures were evaluated by modified Jadad scale after literature screening and data extraction ,and Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software. RESULTS :Totally 19 RCTs involving 1 829 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that total response rate of patients with Shire Yunfu type [OR =5.67,95%CI(3.44,9.33),P<0.000 01],Pixu Shiyun type [OR =4.23, 95% CI(1.89,9.46),P=0.000 4],Xuexu Fengzao type [OR =3.57,95% CI(2.36,5.41),P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly higher than that of control group. There were no statistical differences in the incidence of ADR between patients with Shire Yunfu type [OR =0.72,95%CI(0.21,2.41),P=0.59],Pixu Shiyun type [OR =0.31,95%CI(0.01,13.57),P=0.54],Xuexu Fengzao type [OR=1.08,95% CI(0.18,6.59),P=0.93] in trial group and control group. After treatment ,the levels of TNF-α [SMD=-1.67,95%CI(-2.04,-1.31),P<0.000 01],IL-6 [SMD=-1.53,95%CI(-1.88,-1.17),P<0.000 01] and IL-8 [SMD=-1.75,95%CI(-2.28,-1.21),P<0.000 01] in patients with Shire Yunfu type in trial group were significantly lower than control group. There was no statistical significance in CD 4+ levels [SMD =1.51,95%CI(-0.37,3.38),P=0.12] between Shire Yunfu type patients in trial group and control group. CONCLUSIONS :Therapeutic efficacy of classical prescription in treatment of eczema is better than antihistamines,with similar safety . Modified Longdan xiegan decoction can significantly reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with Shire Yunfu type.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of platelet related indicators for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW). Methods The data of 79 ELBW infants born from June 2013 to June 2016 were retrospective analyzed. There were 48 cases without PDA (nPDA group) and 31 cases with PDA (PDA group). Among 31 cases with PDA, there were 17 cases of non-haemodynamically significant PDA (nhsPDA group) and 14 cases of haemodynamically significant PDA (hsPDA group). The clinical feature and platelet related indicators among nPDA group, PDA group, nhsPDA group and hsPDA group were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of various factors on the occurrence of PDA. ROC curve analysis was performed to evaluate the early predictive value of platelet related indicators for PDA. Results Compared with the nPDA group, the PDA group had a smaller gestational age, a higher proportion of male infants, and a smaller platelet distribution width (PDW), and there were statistically significant differences in all of those (P all<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk of PDA was increased as the PDW was decreased (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.05~1.52). The ROC curve analysis showed that the best diagnostic value of PDW was 13.4 GSD, and the sensitivity of early prediction of PDA was about 67.74%, and the specificity was 68.75%. Compared with nhsPDA group, hsPDA group had a smaller gestation age, lower cesarean section rate, and there were statistically significant differences (P all<0.05). There was no significant difference in platelet related indicators between hsPDA group and nhsPDA group (P>0.05). Conclusion PDW has certain early predictive value for PDA in ELBW. ELBW infants with PDW<13.4 GSD need to be watched closely for the occurrence of PDA.
