ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the role of video-assisted feedback in clinical skill teaching in undergraduate classes and its application effect.Methods:The experimental control method was adopted in the study. A total of 185 students from Eight-year program of clinical medicine of Batch 2014 and Five-year program of clinical medicine of Batch 2016 in Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology were collected as the experimental group, and another 166 students from Eight-year program of clinical medicine of Batch 2013 and Five-year program of clinical medicine of Batch 2015 as the control group. The experimental group adopted the teaching mode of video-assisted feedback and the control group received the traditional teaching mode. By the end of training sessions, the differences between the two groups in both the skill assessments and the theories were compared. A satisfaction survey about the video-assisted feedback was made in the experimental group. GraphPad Prism 5 was used for t test. Results:In the students from Five-year program of clinical medicine, the scores of theoretical assessment in the experimental group were (87.64±0.94) points and the scores of skill assessments were (84.78±0.54) points; the scores of theoretical assessment in the control group were (85.14±0.80) points and the scores of skill assessments were (83.10±0.53) points. In the students from Five-year program of clinical medicine, the difference of both the theoretical and the skill assessment scores between the experimental group and the control group was statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the students from Eight-year program of clinical medicine, the scores of theoretical assessment in the experimental group were (86.46±0.66) points and the scores of skill assessments were (86.38±0.73) points; the scores of theoretical assessment in the control group were (84.90±1.21) points and the scores of skill assessments were (83.79±0.64) points. The difference of the skill assessment scores between the experimental group and the control group was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and no significant difference was found in the theoretical assessment. The questionnaire survey in the experimental group based on video-assisted feedback teaching method showed that 93.3% (168/180) of students said that they would not take the initiative to practice after class if there was no video shooting session; 87.8% (158/180) of the students thought the video-assisted feedback teaching method improved their ability of independent learning; 82.8% (149/180) of students thought this method significantly increased their learning efficiency and confidence in clinic; 71.1% (128/180) of the students felt that after-class video shooting, their self-confidence was improved when they faced the corresponding operation clinically. Conclusion:The application of video-assisted feedback has significantly improved the outcome of clinical skill training for students, as compared to the traditional teaching mode.
ABSTRACT
In the case of public emergency, cross regional and institutional deployment of health technicians as a contingency measure is imperative in alleviating the shortage of medical resources and improving the medical capacity in the location of emergency. The authors rounded up common modes of such deployment, namely independent deployment of a complete organization, deployment by job division for individual responsibility, deployment of individuals joining in a cooperative action, and that of expert guidance. In practice, the emergency deployment of health technicians was faced with serial challenges, such as their mobility, interoperability, professionalism, economy and persistence. To improve the performance of emergency deployment, it is necessary to strengthen the routine emergency skill reserve and simulation drill, to formulate " wartime" joint diagnosis and treatment decision-making rules, to build high-level health emergency teams, to establish and improve a complete, flexible and orderly deployment mechanism of such human resources, and to improve the honor award and reward system for health emergency personnel.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare efficacy and safety of 308-nm SQ light-emitting diode (LED) light versus 308-nm excimer light in the treatment of facial vitiligo.Methods:Patients with stable facial vitiligo were retrospectively collected from Department of Physical Therapy, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2018 to June 2020, who received treatment with 308-nm SQ LED light (LED group) or 308-nm excimer light (excimer light group). The treatment was performed once or twice a week, and patients who had received more than 8 sessions of treatment were included in the analysis of efficacy and safety. Statistical analysis was carried out by using chi-square test.Results:Totally, 68 patients with 90 lesions were enrolled into the LED group, including 36 males and 32 females, aged 25.01 ± 13.37 years; 20 patients with 28 lesions were enrolled into the excimer light group, including 13 males and 7 females, aged 27.15 ± 14.30 years. After 8 and 16 sessions of treatment, there was no significant difference in the response rate between the LED group (23.33%, 46.67%, respectively) and excimer light group (14.29%, 46.43%, χ2 = 1.05, < 0.001, respectively, both P > 0.05). During the treatment, 36 (52.94%) patients in the LED group developed persistent erythema, 17 (85%) in the excimer light group developed persistent erythema or blisters. The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the LED group than in the excimer light group ( χ2 = 16.43, P < 0.001) . Conclusion:Compared with the 308-nm excimer light, the 308-nm SQ LED light showed similar effect but higher safety for the treatment of facial vitiligo.
ABSTRACT
The salary reform of public hospitals has a positive incentive effect on enhancing the public welfare of public hospitals, stimulating the enthusiasm of medical staff, and promoting high-quality development. The authors introduced the practice and exploration of the sequential salary system reform in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology since 2018. It included the reform of physician performance based on medical groups, the reform of nursing performance based on vertical nursing management, the reform of medical technology performance based on resource marginal utilization, and the reform of management performance based on job responsibilities and 360°evaluation. The practice has showed that the salary reform could promote the improvement of medical service ability, improve nurses′ satisfaction, shorten the waiting time for medical technical examination, and steadily improve the performance of " National Examination" and the comprehensive ranking of hospitals. When studying and implementing the policy requirements of salary system reform, hospitals in different regions should take measures in accordance with local conditions, with accurate and safe information systems as the support, and focus on the distribution mode, compensation structure and funding sources.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of long-term high-fat diet on bone mineral density and intestinal flora in mice.Methods:Sixteen male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group (NC group) and high-fat group (HF group). After 24 weeks of high-fat feeding, biochemical indicators such as blood glucose and blood lipids were detected, bilateral femurs were taken and bone microstructure was analyzed with micro-computered tomography (micro-CT), and changes of intestinal microbial composition and proportion were revealed using 16S rDNA sequencing technology.Results:Compared with the control group, the serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in HF group were significantly increased. Micro-CT uncovered that the bone mineral density (Tb.BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and the number of trabecular bone (Tb.N) decreased, yet structural model index (SMI) and the trabecular fraction (Tb.Sp) increased in the HF group mice. The gut microbiota 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that the proportion of Proteobacter was significantly increased and the proportions of pachycete, warty microbacterius, and actinomycete were reduced in HF group at the phyla level. The proportion of Bacteroidetes S24-7_norank in the NC group was significantly higher than that in the HF group, and the multilevel discriminant analysis of species differences (LEfSe) identified that the difference was significant, yet the proportion of Bacteroides, Pseudo-Prevotella, Desulfovibrio, Altobacter, and Helicobacter in the HF group were higher than those in the NC group, which were significant differences in Altobacter and Helicobacter at genus level.Conclusion:Long-term high-fat feeding can cause the destruction of femoral trabecular structure, decrease in the number of trabeculus bones, and bone mineral density in C57BL/6 mice. It also leads to significant changes in the composition and proportion of the intestinal flora.
ABSTRACT
Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main complications in patients with traumatic fractures, and for severe patients, the DVT can even affect arterial blood supply, resulting in insufficient limb blood supply. If the thrombus breaks off, pulmonary embolism may occur, with a high mortality. The treatment and rehabilitation strategies of thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fractures have its particularity. DVT in traumatic fractures patients has attracted extensive attention and been largely studied, and the measures for prevention and treatment of DVT are constantly developing. In recent years, a series of thrombosis prevention and treatment guidelines have been updated at home and abroad, but there are still many doubts about the prevention and treatment of DVT in patients with different traumatic fractures. Accordingly, on the basis of summarizing the latest evidence-based medical evidence at home and abroad and the clinical experience of the majority of experts, the authors summarize the clinical treatment and prevention protocols for DVT in patients with traumatic fractures, and make this consensus on the examination and assessment, treatment, prevention and preventive measures for DVT in patients with different fractures so as to provide a practicable approach suitable for China ′s national conditions and improve the prognosis and the life quality of patients.

The clinical evidences on acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of frozen shoulder were sorted and summarized systematically. The relevant articles of frozen shoulder treated with acupuncture and moxibustion were searched from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane database of systematic review (CDSR), Cochrane database of controlled trials register (CENTRAL), China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, and Chinese biomedical literature databases (SinoMed), from database inception to May 31, 2021. Using AMSTAR-2, the methodological quality of the included systematic reviews was evaluated. With evidence map, the current status of clinical evidence was summarized on acupuncture and moxibustion in treatment of frozen shoulder. A total of 266 original studies and 6 systematic reviews were included finally. At present, many randomized controlled trials are designed with small sample size and the simple acupuncture and moxibustion therapy is dominant as the intervention, e.g. warm acupuncture, acupuncture with filiform needle, acupotomy and electroacupuncture. The outcomes considered in the current trials focus on clinical effective rate, the score of shoulder pain, the score of shoulder function and the score of quality of life. Most of the studies have shown that acupuncture and moxibustion is advantageous as an adjunctive therapy for frozen shoulder, but its clinical evidence is few in terms of the recurrence rate and safety. Moreover, it needs to improve the evidence quality of the relevant studies on acupuncture and moxibustion for frozen shoulder.

Methods:Literature retrieval was carried out in the electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM), CNKI, Wanfang Database and VIP. The time limit was from the establishment of these databases to March 26th, 2020. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, randomized controlled trials about FES for children with cerebral palsy were included. At least two evaluators extracted the data independently and used Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of included studies. The data was analyzed with Review Manager 5.3 software. Results:A total of eleven studies with 513 children were included. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) D/E scores (MD = 8.14, 95%CI 6.26 to 10.02, P < 0.001), GMFM-88 B score (MD = 8.77, 95%CI 4.00 to 13.53, P < 0.001), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score (MD = -1.05, 95%CI -1.25 to -0.84, P < 0.001), Kyphosis angle (MD = -10.67, 95%CI -12.21 to -9.13, P < 0.001), Cobb's angle (MD = -2.66, 95%CI -3.38 to -1.93, P < 0.001), step length (MD = 3.35, 95%CI 1.81 to 4.90, P < 0.001), walking speed (MD = 0.09, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.14, P < 0.001) and GMFM score at six weeks follow-up (MD = 4.84, 95%CI 1.90 to 7.77, P = 0.001) were better in FES group than in the control group. There was no significant difference in MAS score between two groups after six weeks of follow-up (MD = 0.04, 95%CI -0.30 to 0.37, P = 0.84). Conclusion:FES could improve the lower-limb and trunk function of children with cerebral palsy, however, the long-term effect of relieving muscle spasm was not significant.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to present a major challenge to public health. Vaccine development requires an understanding of the kinetics of neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).@*Methods@#In total, 605 serum samples from 125 COVID-19 patients (from January 1 to March 14, 2020) varying in age, sex, severity of symptoms, and presence of underlying diseases were collected, and antibody titers were measured using a micro-neutralization assay with wild-type SARS-CoV-2.@*Results@#NAbs were detectable approximately 10 days post-onset (dpo) of symptoms and peaked at approximately 20 dpo. The NAb levels were slightly higher in young males and severe cases, while no significant difference was observed for the other classifications. In follow-up cases, the NAb titer had increased or stabilized in 18 cases, whereas it had decreased in 26 cases, and in one case NAbs were undetectable at the end of our observation. Although a decreasing trend in NAb titer was observed in many cases, the NAb level was generally still protective.@*Conclusion@#We demonstrated that NAb levels vary among all categories of COVID-19 patients. Long-term studies are needed to determine the longevity and protective efficiency of NAbs induced by SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT
Under the diagnosis-related groups(DRG) prospective payment system, innovative health technologies with high costs and risks may be limited to some extent. How to balance the increase of health care cost and the development of innovative health technology is a difficult problem to be solved in the current reform. By studying the relatively mature payment systems of innovative health technologies in the world, the authors found that countries generally adopted additional payment or compensation to encourage the development of new technologies. But at the same time, a relatively perfect health technology assessment and payment management mechanism had been established to ensure the standardized operation of payment plan. These international advanced experience and practice could provide references for China′s innovative health technology payment strategy under the DRG payment system. It is suggested to establish a scientific and reasonable assessment mechanism of innovative health technology, create a special access channel for innovative health technology with limited short-term evidence, and gradually form a long-term incentive mechanism of innovative health technology in DRG payment system.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate multimodality imaging characteristics and clinical features of lymphomatosis cerebri (LC) and reasons for misdiagnosis,with the goal of potentially facilitating an early and accurate diagnosis for this often-missed disease.Methods:Clinical data and cerebral multimodality imaging findings from 11 patients with LC proven basing on pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from November 30, 2011 to December 28, 2020 were retrospectively extracted, analyzed, and reviewed in combination with the literatures.Results:The common presenting symptoms with subacute onset included cognitive decline (8/11), gait disturbance (9/11), and behavioral disturbance (5/11). Test of cerebrospinal fluid showed that the number of cells and the level of protein increased (8/10), the sugar content (2/10) and chloride (4/10) decreased. The imaging manifestations of 11 patients with LC were diffuse lesions of bilateral cerebral white matter in the both deep and lobar lesion distribution, involving the cerebral cortex and subcortical white matter in eight cases (8/11), basal ganglia in seven cases (7/11), thalamus in five cases (5/11), cerebellum in six cases and brain stem in six cases (6/11). All 11 patients showed equal or slightly low-density shadows on CT plain scan and slightly longer T 1WI and T 2WI signals on magnetic resonance imaging. Six cases (6/11) had no obvious enhancement in the early stage, and five cases and six follow-up cases showed heterogenous spots, patches, nodules or clusters of distinct enhancement. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed non restricted diffusion in nine (9/11) cases initially diagnosed, and restricted diffusion in two cases (2/11) and nine follow-up cases, which were hyperintense on diffusion-weighted imaging and hypointense on apparent diffusion coefficient maps. Five patients (5/5) presented a marked decrease in N-acetyl aspartic acid (NAA)/creatine (Cr) and increase in choline (Cho)/Cr on hydrogen proton magnetic resonance spectrum, including an increase in lipid/Cr in three cases. One case (1/3) showed no abnormal increase in lesion metabolism, and two cases (2/3) showed slightly increased uptake on positron emission tomography/CT. Conclusions:Diffuse bilateral cerebral lesions especially in deep and lobar region, without enhancement or with patchy enhancement, marked decrease in NAA/Cr and increase in Cho/Cr and Lip/Cr are suggestive of LC. Misdiagnosis may be mainly due to insufficient understanding and improper brain biopsy.
ABSTRACT
In the present study, the clinical features of a patient with autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets 1 caused by dentin matrix protein 1(DMP1)gene mutation and her family members were investigated. DMP1 gene from peripheral blood was sequenced by Sanger sequencing, and the known mutation was verified among her family members and 250 healthy populations. The proband was a 42-year-old female with bone deformity of both lower limbs, bone pain, and short stature. The results of X-rays and laboratory examination were consistent with the hypophosphatemic rickets reported before. A homozygous mutation(c.2T> C)in DMP1 was identified by Sanger sequencing in the proband, her son and daughter were heterozygous for c. 2T> C.
