ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of situational simulation drill in nurses training on prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE).Methods:Totally 120 nurses in 1-3 years from a tertiary general hospital were selected to participate in the training for prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. They were divided into intervention group and control group according to the number of single and double packet ward. A total of 62 nurses in the single wards were selected as the intervention group, and a total of 58 nurses in the double wards were selected as the control group. The control group and the intervention group were trained on the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism by traditional teaching method and scenario simulation drill, and the effect was evaluated by Kirkpatrick Model.Results:After training, intervention group training object theory examination score, operation assessment score, clinical nursing work assessment score, and nurses ability to scale score (83.79±6.85), (87.00±4.57), (7.90±0.62), (79.03±8.24) respectively, were higher than the control group (80.67±7.90), (84.02±4.70), (7.21±0.72), (70.86±11.59), the score comparison difference was statistically significant ( t values were -3.660-5.670, P < 0.05); The satisfaction of the training object to the teaching plan, teaching content and teaching form in the intervention group was 88.71% (55/62), 87.10% (54/62) and 87.10% (54/62), which were all higher than the control group 74.14% (43/58), 72.41% (42/58) and 68.97% (40/58), with statistically significant differences ( χ2 values were 4.250, 4.038, 5.804, P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of situational simulation drill in the nursing training of prevention and treatment of VTE is helpful to improve the theoretical skills and clinical work ability of nurses in the prevention and treatment of VTE, and to increase the satisfaction of nurses with the training.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the prognostic value of CD7 expression in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and to further explore the correlation between CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, and to clarify the prognostic value of CD7+ in AML patients with wild-type (WT) or mutant-type (MT) CEBPA.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 298 newly diagnosed non-M3 AML patients between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of CD7+ and CD7- patients were respectively compared in all patients, and in patients with WT and MT CEBPA. The relationship between CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation was determined by chi-square, and the effects of CEBPA mutation on survival and prognosis in CD7+ group by Kaplan-Meier method.@*Results@#In CD7+ group, the frequencies of CEBPA mutation were 10.1% (single site) and 33.9% (double site) , significantly higher than those of the CD7- group (5.3% and 4.2%) (P=0.000) . Subgroup prognostic analysis showed a lower CR rate (P=0.001) and a higher RR (P=0.023) in CD7+ group comparing to those of CD7- group in AML patients with wild type CEBPA. There were no statistical difference between CD7+ group and CD7- group in overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (P>0.05) , while in the CEBPA mutant group the CD7+ group has higher OS (P=0.019) and DFS (P=0.010) . Based on the CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, 298 cases were divided into 3 subgroups, named as CD7+-CEBPA MT group, CD7- and CD7+-CEBPA WT group. The 3-year OS of the 3 groups were 80.2%, 48.0% and 30.6%, respectively (P<0.001) , and the 3-year DFS were 74.1%, 37.4% and 22.2%, respectively (P<0.001) .@*Conclusion@#The CEBPA mutation rate was higher in CD7+ AML patients then that of CD7- patients. CD7 expression has opposite prognostic significance in AML patients carrying the wild-type or mutant-type CEBPA. Based on CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, a new risk stratification model can be established, which is helpful to guide the clinical individualized treatment for AML patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the decision-making impulsivity in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.Methods 39 patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy and 40 healthy controls completed delay discounting task.The participants were demanded to make a series of choices between two different rewards after a delayed period (a smaller sooner reward or a larger longer reward).Results The delay discount rate k was transformed to common logarithm lg (k),and lg (k)=-1.75±0.86 in IGE group was more larger than that in HC group lg (k)=-2.21±0.72(t=2.58,P=0.01).IGE group performed worse than HC group in verbal fluency test-semantic (M (P25,P75):16.00 (14.00,19.00) vs 18.00 (16.00,22.75),Z =-2.86,P＜0.01),verbal fluency test-voice (M (P25,P75):4.00 (3.00,6.00) vs 7.00 (6.00,10.00),Z =-4.26,P＜0.01) and digital span backward test (M(P25,P75):5.00(5.00,7.00) vs 6.00 (5.00,8.00),Z=-2.48,P=0.01).In addition,lg (k) had significant correlation with verbal fluency test-semantic (r=0.32,P=0.048).Conclusion IGE group prefer immediate rewards and show more impulsive than HC group in delay discounting task.IGE group has cognitive deficit in frontal lobe language function and attention function.In addition,impulsivity is correlated with frontal lobe function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the impairment of intertemporal choices in adolescents with positive and negative schizophrenic symptoms.Methods 30 adolescent schizophrenia patients with positive symptoms (positive symptoms group),30 adolescent schizophrenia patients with negative symptoms (negative symptoms group)and 30 healthy controls were selected.All the subjects were investigated with intertemporalchoice Test.Results (1) Under now conditions ((37.22±30.92)％,(19.67±16.35)％,P＜0.05)),notnow conditions ((35.74±31.69)％,(19.33± 18.07)％,P＜0.05)) and overall condition ((36.48±30.44) ％,(19.50± 13.82)％,P＜0.05)),the ratio of later-large (LL) choice in negative symptoms group were significantly higher than those in the healthy controls.Under now conditions ((37.22±30.92) ％,(20.37±22.33) ％,P＜0.05)),not-now conditions ((35.74± 31.69) ％,(22.04±22.05) ％,P＜ 0.05)) and overall condition ((36.48±30.44) ％,(21.20±21.57) ％,P＜0.05)),the ratio of LL choice in negative symptoms group were significantly higher than those in positive symptoms group.There were no differences in the ratio of LL choice between positive symptoms group and healthy controls (P＞ 0.05).(2)Pearson correlation analysis showed that the Vocabulary Fluency Test of negative symptoms group was positively correlated with LL selection ratio under now conditions (r=0.411,P=0.024).Conclusion The ability of intertemporal choices in adolescents schizophrenia patients with negative symptoms is impaired remarkably,while this kind of ability is impaired unremarkable in adolescence with negative symptoms.The ability of intertemporal choices in adolescents schizophrenic patients with negative symptoms is correlated with cognitive executive function.
ABSTRACT
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)is a disease with high incidence and mortality and has become a serious threat to human health. So far,none of the available markers can be used alone for early diagnosis of HCC.Recently identified serum markers with potential clinical value for early diagnosis of HCC are summarized,and their diagnostic sensitivity and specificity,as well as their applications in assessment of progression of the disease,are reviewed.It is suggested that alpha -fetoprotein should be used in combination with other serum markers to achieve accurate diagnosis of HCC at early stages.
