ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish the norm of clinical nursing teachers' competency in tertiary first-class hospitals in northwest China.Methods:From August 2019 to February 2020, 1 077 clinical nursing teachers were selected from 12 tertiary first-class hospitals in northwest China by stratified, random and proportional sampling, and were investigated with the Clinical Nursing Teacher Competency Evaluation Scale. Descriptive statistics were carried out on the sample data, and univariate variance analysis and pairwise comparison were carried out on the multi-classification variables of age, nursing age, professional title, teaching years and the number of teachers per year. The verified data were exported to SPSS 26.0 for statistical analysis, variance analysis was used for multi-group comparison, and LSD test was used for pairwise comparison between groups.Results:①The corresponding mean norm was established by grouping the total score and the first-class index; the percentile norm was made with 5% spacing; P10, P30, P70 and P90 were selected as the grading demarcation points, and the demarcation norm was constructed. ②Factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences in personality characteristics among different ages, nursing ages and professional titles ( P<0.05), and also in professional attitudes among different nursing ages and professional titles ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The establishment of norm provides references for individuals or units to evaluate teachers' competence.

ABSTRACT
Objective To enhance the management in identifying the surgical sites to comply with national standards.Methods A nurse-physician collaboration management team was set up to investigate the current identification of surgical sites in every operating room which violates regulations,with the causes analyzed and countermeasures proposed.Working hand in hand,doctors and nurses figured out the management details for preoperatively identifying the surgical sites and reengineering of the surgical process.With the responsibilities clarified and training enhanced,the surgeons,anesthesiologists,ward nurses and operating room nurses were held responsible for the process and improvements of identifying the surgical sites.The number of patients with unreasonable identification of surgical sites was calculated before and after establishment of nurse-physician collaboration management team.Results The reasonable identification rates of surgical sites were 37.94% before the reform and 80.94% after;incorrect use of all types of the surgical site identification can be minimized in the reform.Conclusion The management of nurse-physician collaboration is conducive to enhancing the reasonable identification rate of surgical sites,thus improving the quality of care and correctness of operations.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1 α (SDF-1 α) on inducing recruitment of bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) to wound area. Methods BMDCs were isolated from bone marrow, cultured with routine method and identified by CXCR4 antibody. Cells cultured with CXCR4 antibody (100 ng,/mL) for 6 hours were labeled with CM-DiI and injected into the tail vein of full-thickness incisional wound model (set as anti-CXCR4 group). BMDCs labeled with CM-DiI without antibody treatment were injected to the rats in BMDCs group, and rats were injected with DMEM/F12 serum-free medium in the control group. The quantity of labeled BMDCs at the wound site and the percentage of wound closure were measured. Results (1) All BMDCs expressed CXCR4. (2) The percentages of wound closure at days 7 and 14 in BMDCs group (7 d: 41.3% ±4.6%; 14 d:92.3% ±2. 1%) were significantly higher than those of control group (7 d: 29.3% ±2. 3%; 14 d: 77.3% ±2.5%) and anti-CXCR4 group (7 d: 30.7% ±4.6% ;14 d: 85.7% ±1.5%) (P＜0.05). The percentage of wound closure of anti-CXCR4 group was significantly higher than that of control group at day 14(P ＜ 0.05). (3) The number of CM-DiI labeled BMDCs at wound site at days 7 and 14 in BMDCs group [7 d: (535 ±84) cells/hpf; 14 d: (769 ±124) cells/hpf) were greater than those of anti-CXCR4 group [7 d: (335 ±97) cells/hpf; 14 d: (521 ± 127) cells/hpf] (P＜0.05). Conclusions BMDCs participate in the cutaneous wound healing. SDF-1α plays an important role in recruiting BMDCs to wound area.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the inhibitory effect of He-Ne laser irradiation on fibroblast growth of hypertrophic scars in culture.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>He-Ne laser with wavelength of 632.8 nm, power density of 50 mW/cm(2) and doses of 3 J/cm(2), 30 J/cm(2), 90 J/cm(2) and 180 J/cm(2) was used to irradiate human scar fibroblasts in culture 1, 3 and 5 times respectively, and then the cell count and cell cycle analysis were done.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Repeated irradiation with He-Ne laser at dose of 180 J/cm(2) three and five times led to an evident decrease in total cell number compared with that of the control group and there was a significant difference (P<0.05). The cell cycle analysis showed after three and five times of irradiation with 180 J/cm(2) He-Ne laser the cell number in S-phase decreased from 51% to 20% and 14% respectively, the cell number in G(0)/G(1) phase increased from 28% to 55% and 60% respectively, and the cell percentage in Sub-G1 phase was 6.7% and 9.8% respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Repeated irradiation with 180 J/cm(2) He-Ne laser can inhibit scar fibroblasts growth in culture. It may be that He-Ne laser irradiation causes cell stagnation in G(0)/G(1) phase and apoptosis.</p>
