ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the new ideas and methods for training nurses, and improve the training effect of specialist nurses through the Internet + micro-course platform training model.@*Methods@#Sixty-four nurses who participated in the training of specialist nurses in Department of Cardiology for 2017-2018 years were divided into two groups with 32 cases each according to the year. The control group received the traditional training mode, the experimental group applied the Internet + micro curriculum platform training mode, and after the training, two groups of students were investigated for nursing operation examination, theoretical examination, critical thinking scale, and feedback surveys were conducted to analyze the Internet + micro course platform training.@*Results@#Before training, the theoretical examination, the operation examination, critical thinking scale were (85.78 ± 2.59), (85.66 ± 2.60), (347.50 ± 6.61) points in the experimental group and (86.75 ± 2.63), (86.38 ± 2.59), (348.81 ± 5.28) points in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). After training, the theoretical examination, the operation examination, critical thinking scale were (94.25 ± 1.75), (95.68 ± 2.02), (407.81 ± 5.45) points in the experimental group and (90.34 ± 1.40), (94.25 ± 1.75), (380.40 ± 11.20) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.572, -2.960, 12.445, all P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#The training mode of the Internet + micro course platform is superior to the traditional training mode, which can improve the critical thinking ability of the specialist nurses in Department of Cardiology, and is conductive to the training of clinical nurses′ ability of clinical strain.
ABSTRACT
As a major active component extracted from traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, triptolide exhibits multiple pharmacological effects. Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved intracellular catabolic process involved in cytoplasmic materials degradation. Autophagic dysfunction contributes to the pathologies of many human diseases, which makes it a promising therapeutic target. Recent studies have shown that triptolide exerts neuroprotection, anti-tumor activities, organ toxicity, and podocyte protection by modulating autophagy. This article highlights the current information on triptolide-modulated autophagy, analyzes the possible pathways involved, and describes the crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis modulated by triptolide, in hope of providing implications for the roles of autophagy in pharmacological effects of triptolide and expanding its novel usage as an autophagy modulator.

Objective To investigate the axonal lesion in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(CIDP).Methods Eighteen patients had undergone sural nerve biopsy.The clinical and electrophysiological distinction based on the different pathological changes were analyzed.Results Five patients with demyelination predominance which presented myelinated fiber with thin myelin.Three of them showed also mild axonal degeneration.Eight patients with axonal lesion predominance which presented Wallerian degeneration and regeneration of myelinated fibers.Three patients with mixed myelin and axon lesion of myelinated fibers and two with mild lesion.There was no significant difference between CIDP predominantly with axonal lesion and demyelination.Electrophysiological examination shows both axonal lesion and demyelination feature in some of the 2 types patients at the same time.Conclusions Axonal lesion is a common pathological change in CIDP and should not be considered as an exclusive criterion in diagnosis of the disease.Infiltration of macrophages is a common change.
ABSTRACT
Objective To report the development of clinical symptoms in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia(adPEO).Methods Electromyologram and muscle biopsy were performed in the proband and 4 family members with the disease.Results The proband was a 57 year-old woman,who developed bilateral ptosis after the age of 30,external ophthalmoplegia after the age of 35 years old,weakness of extremities at the age of 37 years old and bulb palsy with palmus at the age of 47 years old.In the family there were 20 male and female members from five generations.All of them complained about bilateral ptosis between 26—33 years old,external ophthalmoplegia(12/15)and weakness of all extremities(14/15)between 35—45,facial and masticatory weakness(9/9)as well as dysphagia(8/9)between 44—60,accompanied with heart lesions(4/7)after 50 years old.Some patients died due to cardiac impairment.Electromyologram showed myopathic abnormalities in the examined patients. The main myopathological changes were ragged red fibers,cytochrome c oxidase negative fibers and ragged blue fibers in succinate dehydrogenase staining.Conclusions The adPEO started from extra-ocular muscles to limbs,finally facial and bulbar muscles.Heart lesions were presented in late stage and lead to death in some members.The developing process of symptoms suggested that we should pay more attention to cardiac manifestations in this disease.
