ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the status quo of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Qinhuangdao area and its influence on the prognosis of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods:Based on the Utstein model CPR database of Qinhuangdao, data of 1 162 OHCA patients admitted to the Health Emergency Dispatch Center of Qinhuangdao City from January 2018 to January 2019 were collected, and they were divided into two groups according to whether BCPR was performed or not. The patients' demographic parameters (gender, age), precardiac arrest parameters (location of cardiac arrest), the parameters of the CPR (first aid response time before hospital, initial diagnosis of causes of cardiac arrest, initial cardiac rhythm) and the parameters of the CPR results [whether to achieve on-site restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 30-day survival rate] were collected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed for the relationship between BCPR and on-site ROSC rate. The social characteristics of bystanders implementing BCPR, including gender, age, occupation, educational background, and acquisition method of CPR knowledge, were analyzed.Results:Among the 1 162 OHCA patients, the patients witnessed by professional medical personnel in nursing homes, hospitals and other places and pre-hospital emergency personnel were excluded. 852 OHCA patients were enrolled, among which only 24 patients obtained BCPR (2.8%), and the remaining 828 patients did not obtain BCPR (97.2%). There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, location of cardiac arrest, pre-hospital emergency response time, primary diagnosis of cardiac arrest causes and initial cardiac rhythm between the two groups. Compared with the non-BCPR group, the on-site ROSC rate and the 30-day survival rate of the BCPR group were significantly increased [on-site ROSC rate: 16.7% (4/24) vs. 5.2% (43/828), 30-day survival rate: 8.3% (2/24) vs. 1.3% (11/828), both P < 0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BCPR [odds ratio ( OR) = 32.132, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 11.129-65.471], location of cardiac arrest ( OR = 0.080, 95% CI was 1.212-3.125) and response time during pre-hospital emergency treatment ( OR = 0.121, 95% CI was 0.174-0.816) were important factors for on-site ROSC of OHCA patients (all P < 0.01). A total of 30 bystanders participated in the implementation of OHCA patients' BCPR, excluding 2 bystanders of lost follow-up, 28 bystanders with effective return visit. The 28 bystanders of BCPR practitioners were mainly male (85.7%), the age was mainly 18-40 years old (57.1%), the occupation was mainly in the tourism service industry (21.5%), students (17.9%), soldiers (14.3%) and bus drivers (10.7%), and the education background was mainly junior college or above (85.7%), the methods of acquiring CPR knowledge mainly included APP and new media (42.9%) and lectures (21.4%). Conclusions:The BCPR implementation rate of OHCA in Qinhuangdao was only 2.8%. BCPR can improve the success rate of pre-hospital CPR and the 30-day survival rate of OHCA patients. Targeted selection of tourism service industry, students, military personnel and bus drivers as CPR training targets may obtain more significant social benefits.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#This study aimed to evaluate the validity and predictive value of different methods for myopia screening, and to provide the most effective method of myopia screening.@*Methods@#A total of 7 441 students of grade 1-12 selected from 36 primary and middle schools in 12 counties in Jiangsu Province were enrolled in this study for ophthalmological examination, and uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA, Plan A), noncycloplegic autorefraction (NCAR, Plan B) and combination of UCVA and NCAR (Plan C) were included in the examination. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was performed to determine the cut-off values (The gold standard is cycloplegic refraction: SE≤0.5 D), and positive predictive value, sensitivities, specificities and other indicators of three screening tests were compared and calculated.@*Results@#The AUC of the combination test for uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA) and noncycloplegic autorefraction (NCAR) was nearly 1(0.91, 95%CI=0.90-0.92), and the sensitivity, specificity, Yoden index, diagnostic coincidence rate, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 92.4%,89.5%,0.82,91.1%,91.3%,90.8%, respectively, but the index of the younger pupils in primary schools was relatively low. The result of screening plan A for students of middle and high school students was the closest to that of myopia diagnosis.@*Conclusion@#Combination test, which was recommended by China National Health Commission, can be a practical solution for school students for myopic screening. Under the condition of no mydriatic refraction, Plan A could be considered for myopia screening especially for middle and high school students. For the younger pupils, it is suggested to use the internationally recommended myopia screening strategy, that is, SE ≤ 0.50D after mydriasis.

ABSTRACT

Objective The paper focused on teaching status of evening college among different ma-jors, and tried to provide data support and suggestion for teaching reform of evening college in medical university. Method Using methods of questionnaires and interviews, the investigators analyzed five aspects of students in Peking University Health Science Center, which were the influences on study from family and work, and the evaluation on teaching, etc. The investigators entered data with Epidata 3.1 software and de-scribed it with SPSS 20.0 statistical software, with which they also did chi-square and nonparametric rank sum test. Results 38.2% (63/165) of clinical medicine students, 45.8% (27/59) of laboratory medical sci-ence students and 43.0%(71/165) of nursing students regarded hard work and limited energy as their major difficulty from jobs. Limited time for study was treated as the biggest problem for students of clinical medicine (58.2%, 96/165), laboratory medical science (46.5%, 27/58) and nursing (66.5%, 105/158). 41.9%(70/167) of clinical medicine students tended to receive traditional face-to-face teaching; 39.0%(23/59) of laboratory medical science students preferred partial face-to-face teaching with partial network teaching; while 37.2% (68/183) of nursing students tended to partial face-to-face teaching with partial self-study. 58.4%(97/166) of clinical medicine students, 55.9%(33/59) of laboratory medical science students and 64 . 8% ( 118/182 ) of nursing students preferred examination of both memorization and application . Conclusion Results showed that students in different majors presented similar opinions on teaching status, but also with a few dif-ferences. There were the same characteristics between students of clinical medicine and nursing, both with high satisfaction. While students in the laboratory medical science showed the special characteristics, with low satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in the treatment for patients with chronic renal failure. METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment process for a patient with chronic renal failure during uremia period;assisted physicians to optimize and improve therapy plan from correcting anemia,controlling blood pressure,improving heart func-tion and regulating ion disorder,etc.;suggested adding dosing frequence of Felodipine sustained-release tablet,Metoprolol tartrate tablet and Shenqiong glucose injection,and giving Benazepril hydrochloride tablet and Isosorbide 5-mononitrate sustained-release tablet. They also suggested adjusting the dosage of rhEPO and the dosage form of ferralia,increasing the dosage of Calcitriol cap-sule and Calcium carbonate tablet,decreasing dosing frequence of 5% Glucose injection and Levocarnitine for injection,and giv-ing Vitamine B12 tablet. Therapeutic efficacy and ADR should be observed closely during treatment,and medication education should be performed for the patient. RESULTS:Physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. The patient was im-proved and discharged from hospital with drugs 28 days later. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists participate in the individual-ized treatment for patients with chronic renal failure and assist physicians to optimize therapy plan,which promote the clinical effec-tiveness and safety of drug treatment.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Uncoupling of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the main cause for transplantation rejection, and it is the best way to prevent transplantation rejection by induce immunological tolerance of the recipient to the donor organ. Self-tolerant T cells can be obtained by negative selection in thymus, whether the intrathymic injection of allogenic antigen can get the immunological tolerance to the antigen?OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of intrathymic injection of allogenic antigen on inducing immunological tolerance in nerve transplantation.DESIGN: A comparative observation.SETTINGS: Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University; Department of Orthopaedics, Fourth Clinical Hospital of Harbin Medical University.MATERIALS: Thirty donor C57BL/6 mice (H-2b), male, aged from 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were purchased from the Veterinarian Institute of Heilongjiang Province; While 60 recipient Balb/c mice (H-2b) female, aged from 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, from Beijing Experimental Animal Center. MHC (H-2b) antigen was prepared by the Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University, and the concentration of protein was 4.4 g/L.METHODS: The experiments were carried out in the Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University from June to November 2002. The recipient Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: intrathymic injection group, syngenic transplantation group, allogenic transplantation group and immunosuppressant drug group. MHC (H-2b) antigen was extracted from splenic cells of donor C57BL/6 mice and injected intrathymically into recipient Balb/c mice (H-2d). Two weeks later, the sciatic nerve was transplanted to the recipient mice. Mixed lymphocyte reaction and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) were detected at 3 weeks after transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The differences of mixed lymphocyte reaction and DTH were compared among the groups.RESULTS: All the 30 donor C25BL/6 mice (H-2b) and 60 recipient Balb/c mice (H-2d) were involved in the analysis of results.①Results of mixed lymphocyte reaction: The cell proliferations in the syngenic transplantation group and intrathymic injection group were obviously lower than that in the allogenic transplantation group [(546.1±75.1), (2 668.3±533.8), (3 101.3±429.1), (4 312.3±534.1) minutes-1, P<0.05].②Results of DTH: The thicknesses difference between two pads in the syngenic transplantation group and intrathymic injection group were obviously lower than that in the allogenic transplantation group [(41.1±3.7), (72.1±5.1), (57.6±11.3), (86.2±13.2)μm, P<0.05].CONCLUSION:The intrathymic injection of donor H-2b antigen could induce immunological tolerance of nerve transplantation.

ABSTRACT

AIM To analyze the effects of glycyrrhetic acid (GA) on c-fos expression and cell proliferation in rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC), and to figure out the mechanisms of binding GA to angiotensin Ⅱ(AⅡ) receptor. METHODS Primary cell culture of rat VSMC, Northern blot, TdR incorporation DNA assay and MTT assay were used in this study. RESULTS ① GA at both low (1?10 -9 mol?L -1) and high concentration (1?10 -5 mol?L -1) quickly induced c-fos expression in VSMC. Sar-AⅡ(1?10 -5 mol?L -1)inhibited both GA induced and AⅡ (1?10 -5 mol?L -1) induced c-fos expression. GA enhanced AⅡ induced c-fos expression at both low and high concentration in VSMC. ② Low level of GA stimulated the proliferation of VSMC. This stimulatory effect decreased with increasing GA concentration, and changed to be inhibitory at high concentration of GA. Not only did Sar-AⅡ eliminate the stimulatory effect of low concentration of GA on cell proliferation, it also eliminated the inhibitory effect of high concentration of GA. Low concentration of GA enhanced the stimulation of AⅡon cell proliferation, while the inhibitory effect of high concentration of GA on cell proliferation was relieved by adding 1?10 -7 mol?L -1 AⅡ. CONCLUSION This study suggests that GA activates transcription factor c-fos and promotes the proliferation of VSMC. GA may exert its effects on cells through AT 1 receptor since it induces similar changes as AⅡ and its effects can be inhibited by AT 1 receptor antagonist.
