This paper summarized the experience of Professor FANG Dingya in staged treatment of Sjögren's syndrome from the perspective of dryness toxin. It is believed that the cause of Sjögren's syndrome is externally-contracted dryness, consumption of essence and fluid, congenital and acquired essence deficiency, depleted essence and insufficient blood, and the core mechanism is internal accumulation of dryness toxin. The treatment can be divided into three stages, that is dryness toxin transforming into fire-heat, damp-heat and phlegm-stasis, from the perspective of dryness metal qi transformation. It is emphasized to dispel pathogen mainly, to clear and moisten with yin-nourishing medicinals in supplementation, and to treat by stages based on syndrome differentiation. For dryness toxin with fire-heat, it is suggested to moisten dryness, resolve toxins and subdue fire, with self-made Runzao Jiedu Decoction (润燥解毒汤) in modification. For dryness toxin with damp-heat, the method of nourishing yin, clearing heat and draining dampness should be used, and Chunze Decoction (春泽汤) in modification is suggested. For dryness toxin with phlegm-stasis, it is recommended to unblock collaterals, disperse phlegm and dissipate stasis, with self-made Sanyu Xiaotan Decoction (散瘀消痰汤) in modification.

Objective:To analyze the evaluation of the application effect and deficiency of nurses acting as standardized parents in the graduation examination of standardized residency training of pediatrics and further improve and promote the level of standardized parents.Methods:A questionnaire survey was used to collect the scores of nurse standardized parents by students and examiners who took part in the graduation examination of standardized residency training of pediatrics in 2021. And the self-evaluation scores of standardized parents were collected. Counting data were represented by the number of cases and composition ratio. A Chi-square test was used to compare the rates.Results:A total of 125 questionnaires from students and 37 questionnaires from nurse standardized parents were collected, and the overall satisfaction (very satisfied + satisfied) of standardized parents reached 121 (96.80%). In the three dimensions of simulation ability, compliance with question-and-answer rules, and simulated attitude, students believed that the consistency between standardized parents and actual parents in simulated altitude was lower than that in the simulation ability and compliance with question-and-answer rules ( P=0.007, P=0.001). The overall satisfaction of standardized parents (very satisfied + satisfied) reached 87.38% (388/444). There were 26 (70.27%) nurse standardized parents who had the lowest satisfaction with their own performance ability, followed by 28 (75.68%) cases of imitation ability and 30 (81.08%) cases of adaptability. Conclusions:It is feasible to adopt nurse standardized parents in the assessment of standardized residency training of pediatrics, and both students and examiners have higher satisfaction. The next step is to improve the training of nurses standardized parents in the attitude of simulation and, at the same time, enhance the training of imitation ability and adaptability, so as to further expand the construction of standardized parents.

Objective:To understand the characteristics of the HIV-1 molecular networks in injected drug users (IDUs) in Guangzhou from 2008 to 2017, and provide reference for the prevention and control of AIDS in this population.Methods:The serum samples of newly diagnosed HIV-1 positive IDUs in Guangzhou from 2008 to 2017 were collected, HIV-1 RNA was extracted for pol gene amplification and sequencing. The molecular cluster in the phylogenetic tree was identified by Cluster Picker 1.2.3 for cluster analysis. TN93 model in HyPhy2.2.4 was used to calculate the gene distance between the cluster sequences. Software Cytoscape3.8.2 was used to visualize the molecular network, and χ2 test or exact probability method was used for cluster analysis and centrality analysis. Results:A total of 586 sequences were successfully amplified (73.9%, 586/793), and 80 molecular clusters were produced, with a clustering rate of 46.6% (273/586). In molecular clusters, the proportions of the strains from IDUs in Han ethnic group (48.4%, 260/537), IDUs who were local residents in Guangdong (52.7%, 146/277) and IDUs whose strain sequence subtype was CRF55_01B (93.3%, 14/15) were higher. In the molecular network, the degree range was 1-7, and nodes with degree ≥3 accounted for 12.8% (24/187), which was associated with another 81 nodes in the molecular network (43.3%, 81/187). The centrality analysis showed that the proportions of housework/unemployed with high degree centrality (19.0%, 19/100), high intermediary (22.0%, 22/100), and high proximity centrality (32.0%, 32/100) were higher in IDUs infected with HIV-1.Conclusion:The risk of HIV-1 clustering in IDUs in Guangzhou was high, suggesting that IDUs who were from both Guangdong and Guangxi and were house workers or unemployed should be viewed as the key targets, and precise intervention should be implemented to reduce the HIV-1 infection rate in this population.

With the development of the times, the comprehensive treatment technology of breast conserving or modified radical mastectomy plus radiotherapy for breast cancer has become more mature and perfect. As the first station of lymphatic drainage of breast, internal mammary lymph nodes have been paid much attention. At present, there is a controversy about whether the internal mammary lymph nodes are irradiated or not. Previous studies have shown that local lymph nodes irradiation containing internal mammary lymph nodes has survival benefit value. However, as a part of regional lymph nodse irradiation, internal mammary lymph nodes irradiation has also been proved to increase the toxicity of heart and lung, which leads to some research institutions and scholars to remain skeptical about internal mammary lymph nodes irradiation. In recent years, with the improvement of radiotherapy technology and equipment and the accumulation of clinical experience, more and more scholars tend to accept internal mammary lymph nodes radiotherapy. But we should pay attention to the indications of internal mammary lymph nodes irradiation, in order to select appropriate treatment options to achieve real benefits.
