ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the application effect of the "group-based" teaching assistant (TA) guidance model in homogenized clinical skill training.Methods:A pilot study was conducted on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation training course, and 32 students majoring in clinical integrative Chinese and Western medicine (five-year program) who were admitted to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018 were randomly divided into control group ( n = 16) and TA group ( n = 16). The control group received traditional teaching methods, and the TA group was further divided into subgroups A, B, C, and D, with four graduate TAs providing group-based teaching. The groups were compared in terms of their satisfaction and test scores. SPSS 25.0 was used for t-test and analysis of variance. Results:The satisfaction survey showed that compared with the control group, the TA group had significantly higher degree of satisfaction with the increased practical opportunities, clinical skill practical ability, learning effect, and overall satisfaction. The immediate test showed that there was no significant difference in test score between the TA group (85.19±2.93) points and the control group (82.75±4.52) points. The test 30 days later showed that the TA group (83.50±5.13) points had a significantly higher test score than the control group (74.68±3.87) points, and the control group had a significantly lower test score than that in the immediate test ( P <0.001); however, there was no significant difference in the TA group's score between the immediate test and the test 30 days later. Conclusion:The "group-based" TA guidance model has a good effect in homogenized clinical skill training, and has a stable long-term effect, with high student satisfaction.
ABSTRACT
The use of mechanical ventilation is more common in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical critically ill patients. However, in the process of mechanical ventilation, it may be difficult to withdraw from the machine due to various factors other than the primary disease. Among them, intra-abdominal hypertension, accumulation of analgesic and sedative drugs, and weakness of diaphragmatic function are common causes of difficulty in weaning. Acupuncture has obvious efficacy in regulating gastrointestinal function, exerting analgesic and sedative effect and improving muscle weakness. Acupuncture intervention can optimize the scheme of mechanical ventilation weaning, and improve the success rate by correcting different concurrent factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the intervention of Chinese herb Shengjiang San(SJS)for the imbal-ances of serum Th1/Th2 cells and related regulatory factors in sepsis patients. Methods Fifty-five sepsis patients were randomly divided into two groups:conventional treatment group of 27 cases and SJS group of 28 cases. Nine cases of healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group in the study. Cases of conventional group were treated with western medicine only and cases of SJS group were treated with both western medicine and Chinese herb SJS (100 mL twice one day). The therapy course of both groups was 3 days. Score of Chinese medical syndromes ,se-rum level of leukocyte count,C reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT),serum T-bet,GATA-3,Th1&Th2 cells in the proportion of whole CD4+Th cells and Th1/Th2 ratio were compared respectively in each group be-fore and after treatment. Results There were significant differences between SJS group and conventional group in score of Chinese medical syndromes,serum level of leukocyte count,T-bet,GATA-3,Th1&Th2 cells in the pro-portion of whole CD4+Th cells and Th1/Th2 ratio(P<0.05 or P<0.01). There were no significant differences be-tween the two groups in serum level of CRP,PCT and GATA3. Compared with control group,there were signifi-cant differences in all indicators except GATA3 of the two groups(P<0.01). Conclusion Chinese herb Shengji-ang San has an effective benefits to Chinese medical syndromes,inflammatory reaction,the imbalance of serum Th1/T2 and related regulatory factors(T-bet&GATA-3)in sepsis patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the lung protective ventilation combining with Re-duning injection on the acute lung injury (ALI). Methods 59 patients with ALI were randomly divided into the lung protective ventilation group (control group, n =30) and the lung protective ventilation wmbined with Reduning injection group(experimental group,n = 29) ,and the changes of vital signs,RR,blood gas analysis,and so on were observed. The comparison between PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 was carried out. The efficacy and the mortality rate were evaluated. Results Lung injury in 21 cases of experimental group were improved after applied Reduning treatment(72. 41%),there was a significant difference ( P < 0.05) with that of 14 cases in control group (46. 67% ) ; PaO2 increased, PaO2/FiO2 significantly increased in experiment group,there were significant difference compared with those of control group(P <0. 01). The mortality rate in the experimental group was 24.14% ,there was a significant differ-ence(P<0.05) compared with the mortality of 50. 00% in control group. Conclusion Reduning treatment could, improve the pulmonary function in lung protective ventilation to cure ALI,reducing the mortality rate as well.
