ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the teaching effect of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation based on self-drawing method.Methods:This study recruited 489 students from 10 classes of clinical medicine major of Shandong Medical College as research objects. They were divided into control group and experimental group. Theoretical teaching and traditional practical training were adopted to the control group while theoretical teaching and self-drawing method were adopted to the experimental group. The ECG test scores, the number of students with excellent performance and the ECG scores of the final exam were compared between the two groups. Questionnaires were issued to assess the effect of different teaching methods on students. SPSS 25.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:Compared with the experimental group, the results of the ECG special test, the number of excellent students and the ECG scores of the final exam in the control group all decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The results of the questionnaire showed that the experimental group had higher mastery of ECG abnormal patterns, learning initiative, self-confidence and better satisfaction with the overall teaching of ECG ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The practical training based on self-drawing method can improve ECG interpretation skills, learning initiative and self-confidence of students, which has achieved good teaching effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the expression of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) mRNA and protein,as well as the relationship between TrxR and myeloid leukemia.Methods Bone marrow samples from 20 acute myeloid leukemia (AML),20 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),and 20 healthy persons as normal control group were collected.The human non small cell lung cancer A549 cells were selected as the positive control group.The expression of TrxR mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The expression of TrxR protein level was detected by Western blot.Results The relative quantitation expressions of TrxR mRNA were 6.751 (13.459),4.321 (11.389),18.477 (2.089),1.045 (0.467) in AML,CML,positive control and normal control group,were 17.814±3.979 and 4.860±1.550 in the primary diagnosed/relapse group and complete remission (CR) group of AML patients,and were 19.552 (5.758) and 3.459 (2.047) in the primary diagnosed and treatment group of CML patients.The expression levels of TrxR mRNA in AML,CML and positive control group were significantly higher than that in normal control group (H =43.978,P ＜ 0.001).For AML patients,the expression levels of TrxR mRNA in the primary diagnosed/relapse group,CR,positive control group were significantly higher than that in normal control group (F=246.793,P ＜ 0.001),and the difference between the primary diagnosed/relapse group and positive control group was no significant (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of TrxR mRNA were higher in the primary diagnosed/relapse group than that in CR group,and that in CR group than that in normal control group (both P ＜ 0.05).For CML patients,the expression levels of TrxR mRNA in the primary diagnosed,treatment,positive control group were significantly higher than that in normal controls (H =38.222,P ＜ 0.001),the difference between that in the primary diagnosed and that in positive control group was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05),but the expression of TrxR were significantly higher in the primary diagnosed group than that in treatment group,and that in treatment group than that in normal controls (both P ＜ 0.05).The expression of TrxR mRNA in the primary diagnosed/relapse group of AML and the primary diagnosed group of CML showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The positive levels of TrxR protein were 0.679,0.606,0.877 and 0.095 in AML,CML,positive control and normal control group.TrxR protein was highly expressed in myeloid leukemia patients.Conclusion The expression levels of TrxR mRNA and protein are increased in myeloid leukemia.The low expression of TrxR in normal hematopoietic stem cells is highly expressed in myeloid leukemia,and is downgraded after treatment,which may be used as one of the parameters to diagnosis,effect and prognosis of myeloid leukemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and explore its relationship with clinical characteristics and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR).Methods The expressions of Nrf2 and TrxR genes in bone marrow cells and K562 cells were analyzed in 30 bone marrow preparations of CML patients in different phases,including 20 in chronic phase,3 in accelerated phase,7 in blastic phase by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Ten health subjects were served as normal controls.Results The relative quantitation expression of Nrf2 and TrxR mRNA were 5.601±1.069 and 9.017±2.398 in chronic phase,1.698±0.349 and 5.590±1.015 in accelerated phase,1.252±0.807 and 5.050±1.469 in blastic phase,1.377± 0.344 and 1.867±0.977 in normal controls.The expressions of both Nrf2 and TrxR mRNA in CML had significant differences from those of the normal controls (x2 =14.680,P =0.002,x2 =8.271,P =0.041).The expression of Nrf2 mRNA in accelerated phase,blastic phase group showed no significant difference (Z =0.011,P =0.496),but lower than that in chronic phase group (Z =2.155,P =0.016,Z =2.534,P =0.006).The difference between the first visit and post-treated group was significant (Z =2.015,P =0.022).The expression in K562 cells and normal controls had significant difference (Z =1.898,P =0.029).In CML patients,the expression of Nrf2 was positively correlated with that of TrxR (r =0.738,P =0.037).Conclusion The expression of Nrf2 gene is higher in the first visit group of CML than that in the other groups,and is decreased after therapy,which may be the molecular marker predicting the progress of CML.Nrf2 mRNA expression level is correlated with TrxR.
