ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To establish and verify a nomogram model of overall survival (OS) of prostate cancer patients based on the SEER data. 【Methods】 A total of 12 642 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer during 2010 and 2015 were extracted from the SEER database. Patients were randomly divided into the model group (n=8 850) and validation group (n=3 792). The independent risk factors for OS were analyzed with univariate Cox proportional risk regression, lasso regression and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression. A nomogram was constructed to predict the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS. The prediction potential of the model was evaluated with the consistency index (C-index), calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 【Results】 Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, T stage, N stage, M stage, bone metastasis, liver metastasis and regional lymphadenectomy were independent risk factors for OS (P<0.05). The seven factors were used to construct an OS nomogram model. The C-index of the modeling set was 0.750, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) at 1, 3 and 5 years were 0.77, 0.77 and 0.76, respectively;the C-index of the validation set was 0.765, and the AUC at 1, 3 and 5 years were 0.83, 0.79 and 0.76, respectively. The calibration curves of the modelling set and validation set showed a good agreement with the actual survival prediction rate. Risk stratification of patients based on the nomogram model showed that the OS of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower than that in the low-risk group (P<0.001). 【Conclusion】 The nomogram can be used to predict the prognosis of prostate cancer patients, and is important for individualized treatment plans.
ABSTRACT
In the context of Popular Entrepreneurship and Innovation, scientific and systemic implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship education is the focus of higher education reform at present. This paper analyzes the important significances of carrying out innovation and entrepreneurship education in higher education of traditional Chinese Medicine, introduces the specific practices and experi-ences of designing educational concept and constructing education system about innovation and entrepre-neurship education, following the objective laws of modern educational development and the growth pattern of Chinese medicine talents, in order to provide reference for further promoting innovation and entrepreneu-rship education reform.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the hot research spots of MOOC research of higher medical edu-cation in China. Methods We searched the database of China National Knowledge Infrastrucure (CNKI), VIP database of Chinese journal (VIP), Wanfang Database for published studies on MOOC research of higher medical education from 2005 to April 2015. The high frequency words were counted by an analysis program-Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB). According to the ranking word frequency threshold formula by Donohue, we collected the high-frequency keywords. The corresponding co-word ma-trixes were constructed by Bibexcel, then the data was input into SPSS 19.0 software for hierarchical clus-tering analysis. Results Finally 2 459 articles were included. 11 177 keywords and 13 high frequency words (the number of the real selected was 24) were taken into account. The keywords “stanford” clus-tered with “education module”, “online education”, “online courses”, “distance education”, “learning pro-cess”, “self-regulated learning”, “information technology”, “classroom teaching”. The keywords “network course” clustered with “teaching design”. The keywords “online learning” clustered with itself. The key-words “challenge” clustered with “colleges and universities”. The keywords “flipped classroom” clustered with“micro-lecture”,“MOOC”,“higher education”, “library”, “teaching module”, “teaching reform”, “big data”,“open education”. The keywords“SPOC”clustered with itself. Conclusion The research of MOOC research of higher medical education in our country has formed the basic characteristics with six hot spots involving teaching design, the model of online learning, dispassion thinking, teaching reform, and develop-ment. And there are many potential areas.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To investigate the effect of dredging meridians in improving prostatitis type Ⅲ. [Methods] Sixty cases of prostatitis were randomized into groups A and B, 30 in each group. The two groups were both treated with Keduohua Capsule, which was a ?-eceptor blocker, and group B was added with Guizhi Fuling Pill (GFP). The treatment lasted 12 weeks. Chronic prostatitis symptoms index issued by American National Institute of Health (NIH-CPSI) , white blood cells (WBC) count and the amount of lecithin body in prostatic secretion, and urinary flow rate were examined before and after treatment to evaluate the therapeutic effect of GFP and the safety of the combination of two medicines . [Results] The clinical symptoms were relieved, WBC count and the amount of lecithin body in prostatic secretion were reduced, and urinary flow rate was increased ( P
