Objective:To investigate the clinical value of endometrial receptivity determination by transvaginal three-dimensional power ultrasound in the prediction of pregnancy outcome after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Methods:A total of 220 infertile patients who underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from July 2018 to July 2021 were included in this study. Before in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, all patients were tested for endometrial receptivity by transvaginal two-dimensional and three-dimensional power ultrasound. Pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Anatomical indexes (endometrial thickness, endometrial volume, and endometrial morphology) and endometrial blood flow indexes [endometrial blood flow type, pulsation index, resistance index (RI), ratio of peak systolic velocity to end-diastolic velocity (S/D), vascularization index (Vl), blood flow index (FI) and vascular blood flow index (VFI)] were compared between different pregnancy outcomes. Results:There were no significant differences in endometrial thickness, endometrial volume, and endometrial morphology between successful pregnancy and failed pregnancy groups ( t or χ2 = 0.23-0.54, P = 0.523-0.890). There was no significant difference in endometrial blood flow typing between successful pregnancy and failed pregnancy groups ( χ2 = 0.217, P = 0.897). PI, RI, and S/D in the successful pregnancy group were (2.46 ± 0.29), (1.07 ± 0.21), and (0.57 ± 0.10), respectively, which were significantly lower than (2.71 ± 0.34), (1.35 ± 0.24), and (0.66 ± 0.11) in the failed pregnancy group ( t = 4.51, 5.27, 3.43, all P < 0.001). VI, FI, and VFI values in the successful pregnancy group were (23.04 ± 2.95), (32.26 ± 3.17), and (6.59 ± 0.94) respectively, which were significantly higher than (16.85 ± 2.17), (28.42 ± 3.04), and (4.88 ± 0.86) in the failed pregnancy group ( t = 10.94, 6.25, 8.37; all P < 0.001). Conclusion:Endometrial blood flow parameters such as PI, RI, S/D, VI, FI, and VFI determined by transvaginal three-dimensional power ultrasound have a certain predictive value for pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. They can be used as sensitive indexes for evaluating endometrial receptivity.

Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) refers to ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion of internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery and vertebrobasilar artery, which has the characteristics of large infarct, relatively poor outcome, higher disability and mortality. Therefore, early vascular recanalization and rescue of ischemic penumbra are the key to improve the outcome of patients with AIS-LVO. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has a definite effect on AIS-LVO. The current guidelines recommend that MT should be performed on the basis of IVT for AIS-LVO patients without contraindications of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), the so-called bridging therapy. IVT can increase the risk of bleeding to a certain extent, delay MT and increase the cost of hospitalization. However, there are still many controversies about whether the patients with AIS-LVO can directly perform MT. This article reviews the comparative study of direct MT and bridging therapy in patients with anterior circulation AIS-LVO, hoping to provide reference for clinicians in the treatment of AIS-LVO.

Objective:To investigate the status of core competency of newly recruited nurses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospitals during the standardized training period and explore its influencing factors.Methods:From March to April 2018, new recruits of nurses from various levels of TCM hospitals in 11 provinces or municipalities directly under the central government were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey, and the results of the survey were statistically analyzed.Results:728 questionnaires were actually recovered, including 723 valid questionnaires. The total score of the core competency of newly recruited nurses in the standardized training period of the TCM hospital is (160.42±37.25) . The results of single factor analysis showed that the differences in core competency scores of nurses with different educational backgrounds, graduated colleges and working stages were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Correlation analysis showed that the scores of occupational identity of newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals were positively correlated with the scores of core competency ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the types of colleges, academic qualifications, working stages, and the sense of selfdetermination, self-efficacy, Sense of organizational influence, consistency in the occupational identity were the influencing factors of nurses' core competency ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The core competency of newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals is affected by the types of colleges, academic qualifications, working stages, and the sense of self determination, self-efficacy, sense of organizational influence, consistency in the occupational identity. Targeted measures should be taken to improve the core competency and professional identity of newly recruited nurses, so that can enhance the cohesion of the nursing team and improve the overall level of nursing.

Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(6):843-847
Objective: To evaluate the structure and function of left atrium (LA) in patients with essential hypertension by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI). Methods: Totally 70 essential hypertension patients and 35 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled. The patients were divided into no left atrial enlargement (NLAE) group and left atrial enlargement (LAE) group (each n=35) according to left atrial index. Using RT-3DE, the maximal, minimal and pre-systolic LA volume (LAVmax, LAVmin and LAVpre) were measured, the stroke volume, total ejection fraction, active ejection fraction and passive ejection fraction of LA (LASV, LAEF, LAaEF, LApEF) were calculated. Using 2D-STI, the mean peak strain rates in systolic, early-diastolic, end-diastolic phase (mSRs, mSRe, mSRa) of LA were calculated. The parameters among the 3 groups were compared, the correlation between 2D-STI and RT-3DE measurement parameters were analyzed. Results: Compared with control group, LAaEF and mSRa increased, while LApEF, mSRs and mSRe decreased in NLAE group (all P<0.05). Compared with NLAE group, LAVmax, LAVpre, LAVmin, LASV, LAaEF and mSRa increased, while LAEF, LApEF, mSRs and mSRe decreased in LAE group (all P<0.05). Significant positive correlations were found between mSRs and LAEF (r=0.70, 0.77), mSRe and LApEF (r=0.80, 0.82) as well as mSRa and LAaEF (r=0.87, 0.89) in NLAE and LAE group (all P<0.01). Conclusion: LA function has changed before LA geometry changes in essential hypertension patients. RT-3DE and 2D-STI play important role in assessing LA function of essential hypertension patients.
