Objective To investigate the effectiveness of team-based learning(TBL)combined with research-based learning(RBL)in enhancing evidence-based nursing practice skills of undergraduate nursing interns.Methods A total of 114 undergraduate nursing students who interned in the operating room of a ⅢA hospital in Guangzhou from July 2021 to April 2022 were selected as study subjects.A randomized cluster sampling method based on a random number table was used to divide the students into a control group and a trial group.The control group received traditional teaching methods,while the trial group was taught using a combination of TBL and RBL.The two groups were compared in terms of evidence-based practice skills,critical thinking abilities,and their evaluations on the teaching methods.Results The differences in evidence-based practice skills and critical thinking abilities before and after the internship were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group(t=35.108,35.897;both P<0.05).Additionally,post-internship evaluation scores for the teaching methods in the trial group were significantly higher than those in the control group(t=-17.580,P<0.05).Conclusion TBL combined with RBL effectively enhances the evidence-based nursing practice skills and critical thinking abilities of undergraduate nursing interns.This approach also improves students'evaluations on the teaching methods and fosters the cultivation of excellent clinical evidence-based nursing professionals.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of different modes of ankle pump exercise on femoral vein peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheter-related thrombosis in patients with lung cancer.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 96 cases of lung cancer patients with femoral vein PICC catheterization admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to October 2020 were set as the control group and 97 cases of lung cancer patients with femoral vein PICC cannula from October 2020 to October 2021 were set as the observation group. They adopted the comfort angle ankle pump exercise and the maximum angle ankle pump exercise mode, respectively. The differences in the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis, the incidence of unplanned extubation, fatigue score and catheter indwelling time were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and unplanned extubation in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The fatigue score and catheter indwelling time of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The maximum angle ankle pump motion mode can reduce the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and unplanned extubation of femoral vein PICC catheterization in patients with lung cancer and improve the catheter indwelling time, but it is easy to cause patient fatigue, so clinical promotion and use should consider the patients' tolerance.

Background In recent years, the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasing significantly in China. Some studies have found that temperature is related to single metabolic index, but there is a lack of research on associated mechanism and identifying path of the influence of temperature on MS. Objective Based on the data of Guangdong Province, to investigate the effect of temperature on MS and its pathway. Methods A total of 8524 residents were enrolled by multi-stage random sampling from October 2015 to January 2016 in Guangdong. Basic characteristics, behavioral characteristics, health status, and physical activity level were obtained through questionnaires and physical examinations, and meteorological data were obtained from meteorological monitoring sites. We matched individual data both with the temperature data of the physical examination day and of a lag of 14 d. A generalized additive model was used to explore the exposure-effect relationship between temperature and MS and its indexes, calculate effect values, and explore the effects of single-day lag temperature. Based on the literature and the results of generalized additive model analysis, a path analysis was conducted to explore the pathways of temperature influencing MS. Results The association between daily average temperature on the current day or lag 14 day and MS risk was not statistically significant. When daily average temperature increased by 1 ℃, the change values of fasting blood-glucose (FBG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were −0.033 (95%CI: −0.040-−0.026) mmol·L⁻¹, −0.662 (95%CI: −0.741-−0.583) mmHg, −0.277 (95%CI: −0.323-−0.230) mmHg, and −0.005 (95%CI: −0.007-−0.004) mmol·L⁻¹ respectively. The effects of average daily temperature on FBG, blood pressure, HDL-C, and waist circumference lasted until lag 14 day. The effects of daily average temperature on SBP and DBP were the largest on the current day. Daily average temperature of current day had direct and indirect effects on FBG and SBP. Temperature had an indirect effect on TG, and the intermediate variables were waist circumference and FBG, with an indirect effect value of −0.011 (95%CI: −0.020-−0.002). The indirect effects of daily average temperature on SBP, FBG, and TG were weak. Conclusion There is no significant correlation between temperature and risk of MS, and daily average temperature of current day could significantly affected blood pressure and FBG with a lag effect. Daily average temperature of current day has indirect effects on FBG and TG.

Objective To investigate the application effect of the sandwich teaching method in the course of Surgical Nursing . Methods Two classes of the students majoring in nursing were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 36 students in each group. The students in the control group received the traditional teaching method, and those in the observation group received the sandwich teaching method . The teaching effect was compared between the two groups by theoretical assessment and questionnaire survey. SPSS 24.0 was used for analysis of variance and the t-test. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher scores of course assessment, learning atmosphere, and learning initiative. The observation group also had significantly higher good rates of learning atmosphere and learning initiative than the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The sandwich teaching method can significantly improve students' abilities of communication and problem solving, arouse their enthusiasm of learning, and increase the interestingness of classroom, and therefore, it has a practical value in teaching.

Objective:To investigate the mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene and its clinical signifi-cance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:The EGFR gene mutations of exons 18 to 21 in NSCLC were detected by us-ing the ADx-ARMS? detection kit method. Results:The total mutation percentage in exons 18 to 21 of the EGFR gene was 45.8%(98/214) in NSCLC. These mutations predominantly occur in exons 19 and 21. EGFR gene mutation percentages were found in exons 18 (0.93%, 2/214), 19 (22.0%,47/214), 20 (2.3%, 5/214), and exon 21 (20.6%, 44/214) in the NSCLC. Two NSCLC cases were identified to have double EGFR gene mutations of exons 19 and 21. EGFR gene mutations were more frequently observed with adenocarcinoma histology (50.3%, 93/185) than with squamous cell carcinoma (17.2%, 5/29) (P=0.001). EGFR gene mutations occur more frequently in NSCLC cases in women than in men (P=0.002). EGFR gene mutations were significantly higher in NSCLC with lymphatic metastasis (66.7%) than in NSCLC without lymphatic metastasis (39.5%) (P<0.05). However, no evident association was found between EGFR gene mutations and age, as well as tumor grade and clinical stage of NSCLC (P>0.05). Conclusion:NSCLC, especially lung adenocar-cinomas, has exhibits frequent EGFR gene mutations in China. EGFR gene mutations in exons 19 and 21, combined with the clinical pathological features of lung cancer, can serve as the molecular marker to evaluate the efficacy of EGFR TKI for NSCLC patients.
