Objective:To establish a scientific and comprehensive evaluation index system for teaching ability of dental specialist nurses, providing a basis for the selection and assessment of dental nursing instructors.Methods:Based on literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and group discussions, preliminary evaluation indicators were formulated. From February to April 2023, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of consultation with 27 experts from six provinces and municipalities in China to determine the evaluation index system for the teaching ability of dental specialist nurses. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to determine the weights of each indicator and its combined weight.Results:The authority coefficient of 27 experts was 0.895. In the two rounds of expert consultation, the effective response rates of the questionnaire were all 100% (27/27), and the Kendall harmony coefficients of various indicators were 0.179 to 0.240 and 0.200 to 0.261 respectively ( P<0.01). The final evaluation index system for teaching ability of dental specialist nurses was formed, including six primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators, and 71 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation index system for teaching ability of dental specialist nurses has a reasonable structure, a scientific and rigorous construction process, and can provide a theoretical basis for the allocation of dental specialist human resources and nursing training assessment.

Objective:To construct the index system for nurses' job competency in children's dental general anesthesia treatment, so as to provide a reference for formulating job admission assessment standards and nurses training strategies.Methods:Research was carried out from July to November 2021. Taking the "job competency model for specialist nurses-iceberg model" as the theoretical framework, the first draft of the indicators was initially prepared by the method of literature review and behavioral event interview. Through the Delphi method, 26 stomatology experts at home and abroad were inquired by letters. Combined with the analytic hierarchy process, the evaluation indicators and weights of the index system for nurses' job competency in children's dental general anesthesia treatment were determined.Results:In the first round, 26 experts completed the letter inquiries, and in the second round, 24 experts completed the letter inquiries, the effective recovery rates of the questionnaires were 100.00% and 92.31%, respectively, the expert authority coefficients were 0.844 and 0.856, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.242 and 0.289, respectively. Finally, the index system for nurses' job competency in children's dental general anesthesia treatment was formed, including 4 first-level indicators, 11 second-level indicators, and 58 third-level indicators.Conclusions:The index system for nurses' job competency in children's dental general anesthesia treatment is scientific, reliable, and in line with clinical practice. It can provide quantitative standards for the comprehensive training of children's dental general anesthesia treatment with nurses and job admission assessment, so as to promote the effectiveness of quality of nursing and safety management.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) dialectical feeding in patients with oral lichen planus of spleen and stomach damp-heat type.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, we selected 98 patients with oral lichen planus of spleen and stomach damp-heat type who visited the Oral Mucosal Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in Qingdao Stomatological Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Patients were divided into experimental group and control group by random number table method, each with 49 cases. Two groups adopted the same treatment methods of Chinese and Western medicine, and control group carried out conventional nursing, and experimental group conducted TCM dialectical feeding based on conventional nursing. Both groups had continuous intervention for 8 weeks. The physical sign scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores of patients of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.Results:The physical sign scores of the two groups at the fourth and eighth week of intervention were lower than those at the initial diagnosis, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After 8 weeks of intervention, the physical sign score of experimental group was lower than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The VAS scores of the two groups at the the fourth and eighth week of intervention were lower than those at the initial diagnosis with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . After 4 and 8 weeks of intervention, the VAS scores of experimental group were lower than those of control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were reduced, and that of experimental group was lower than that of control group also with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The use of TCM dialectical feeding nursing guidance for patients with spleen and stomach damp-heat type oral lichen planus can improve the patient's disease condition and pain symptoms, and relieve the patient's negative emotion.

More and more studies have been focusing on marginal donor livers, such as steatotic liver grafts, to alleviate donor shortage and reduce mortality from waiting lists. Poor tolerance of streatotic liver grafts often leads to primary graft nonfunction, early dysfunction, and postoperative vascular and biliary complications. Some studies have shown that moderate and severe macrosteatosis livers can be used for transplantation with rigorous selection of recipients. In this paper, techniques such as venous systemic oxygenated persufflation, hypothermic oxygenated perfusion, subnormothermic machine perfusion, normothermic machine perfusion, improved liver quality, and steatotic liver grafts transplantation were discussed.

Objective:To explore the current situation of demoralization syndrome among young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients with radiochemotherapy after radical resection and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From January 2019 to September 2019, this study selected 204 young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients of Breast Surgery at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Jilin Province as subjects by convenience sampling. All patients were investigated with the General Information Scale, Demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) , Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and the Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS) . A total of 204 questionnaires were sent out and 192 valid questionnaires were collected.Results:Among 192 young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients, the score of DS-MV was (33.72±14.23) ; the total score of MCMQ was (42.49±8.83) , scores of confronce, avoidance and resignation dimension were (19.12±4.10) , (14.28±3.26) and (9.39±3.48) respectively; the total score of SSRS was (35.39±6.23) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of demoralization of breast cancer patients included the age, education level, time after surgery, confronce coping, resignation coping and social support.Conclusions:Demoralization of young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients with radiochemotherapy after radical resection has a high level. Medical staff should provide targeted intervention for patients with young age, low level of education, short time after surgery, facing disease with the resignation coping style and low level of social support so as to improve their physical and mental health.

Recent years, national laws and government policies were published as series to encourage the development of group standardizations. The updated Standardization Law of the People's Republic of China, implemented on January 1^st, 2018, stipulates that group standard is a part of the Chinese standard system. Under the current supportive circumstances, more institutes and organizations have joined in the writing and releasing procedures of group standards’. Despite the rapid development of group standardization to publish, we are still at the phase of exploring and regulating group standardizations. This review summarizes the development and practice on the development group standardization in the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association and analyzes current condition and deficiency of the work in China, in order to develop suggestions and strategies to improve and regulate group standardization.

With the rapid development of organ transplantation in China,the donation after cardiac death (DCD) donor organs are widely used.However,the quality of these organs is relatively poor,so the way to preserve and maintain organ still remains a severe problem.Among them,ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) impairs the organs severely.Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) protects organs from stress conditions,including ischemia-reperfusion injury,and the activation and autophagy inhibition also protects the organs from stress conditions as well.Recent studies showed that ALDH2 can regulate autophagy to inhibit the organ injury during ischemia-reperfusion.Our study aims to discuss the new findings in this mechanism.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of emodin on the proliferation, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and expression of hematopoietic growth factors in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).

METHODSThe proliferation of rat BMSCs exposed to emodin was analyzed using MTT assay, and flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis and cell cycle changes of the exposed cells. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of the hematopoietic growth factors.

RESULTSExposure to 0.1 and 1 µg/ml emodin for 48 and 72 h significantly enhanced the proliferation of BMSCs (P<0.01). The cells exposed to 0.1 µg/ml emodin showed significantly increased percentage of cells in G2/M phase (P<0.05), and 1 µg/ml emodin exposure caused increased cells in S phase (P<0.01) and decreased cells in G1/G0 phase (P<0.05). Emodin exposure for 48 h resulted in significantly decreased cell apoptosis (P<0.05). BMSCs treated with 0.1 µg/ml emodin showed a significant increase in the expression of thrombopoietin mRNA (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONEmodin can promote the proliferation of BMSCs in vitro possibly by regulating the cell cycle distribution, cell apoptosis and thrombopoietin expression.

Objective Previous studies showed that hypoxia preconditioning could protect cardiac function against subsequent myo-cardial infarction injury. However, the effect of hypoxia on left ventricular after myocardial infarction is still unclear. This study therefore aims to investigate the effects of hypoxia training on left ventricular remodeling in rabbits post myocardial infarction. Methods Adult male rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: group SO (sham operated), group MI (myocardial infarc-tion only) and group MI-HT (myocardial infarction plus hypoxia training). Myocardial infarction was induced by left ventricular branch ligation. Hypoxia training was performed in a hypobaric chamber (having equivalent condition at an altitude of 4000 m, FiO214.9%) for 1 h/day, 5 days/week for four weeks. At the endpoints, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the plasma was measured. Infarct size and capillary density were detected by histology. Left ventricular remodeling and function were as-sessed by echocardiography.Results After the 4-week experiment, compared with the group SO, plasma VEGF levels in groups MI (130.27 ± 18.58 pg/mL,P< 0.01) and MI-HT (181.93 ± 20.29 pg/mL,P< 0.01) were significantly increased. Infarct size in Group MI-HT (29.67% ± 7.73%) was deceased remarkably, while its capillary density (816.0 ± 122.2/mm2) was significantly increased. For both groups MI and MI-HT, left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions were increased whereas left ventricular ejection fraction was decreased. However, compared with group MI, group MI-HT diminished left ventricular end-diastolic (15.86 ± 1.09 mm,P< 0.05) and end-systolic dimensions (12.10 ± 1.20 mm,P< 0.01) significantly and im-proved left ventricular ejection fraction (54.39 ± 12.74 mm,P< 0.05).ConclusionHypoxia training may improve left ven-tricular function and reduce remodeling via angiogenesis in rabbits with MI.
