The correlation between parents' education attainment and humanistic literacy of eight-year medical students.

Objectives: To explore the content, ways, and methods of family education in cultivating students' humanistic literacy. Methods: We used a cross-sectional study and collected questionnaire data from 616 eight-year clinical medical students of Central South University by a convenience sampling survey. To determine the influence of parents' educational attainment on children's humanistic literacy, the students were mainly divided into two groups including parents' education attainment was college or above (Group B) and parents' education attainment below college (Group A). Non-parametric tests are used to test the differences between the two groups in humanistic spirit, interpersonal communication, humanistic knowledge and ability, and development planning. Results: Group B had better social morality and a sense of social responsibility than group A (P=0.024, P=0.001). Compared to group A, students in group B could better integrate into the new environment, communicate with students from different institutes, and take an active part in activities (P=0.001). In a nutshell, students in group B had more excellent humanistic knowledge and ability and could consult medical literature and write in Chinese or English more proficiently than group A (P=0.0001, P=0.0001). Conclusions: We found that the eight-year medical students whose parents' highest education attainment is college or above almost mastered a higher level of humanistic literacy. It demonstrated family humanistic literacy education is irreplaceable. We recommend systematic efforts to build a reasonable and effective family humanistic literacy education platform and form an educational synergy with school education to make the cultivation of humanistic literacy among students more efficient.

A two-photon iridium(III) complex probe for sensitive detection of SO2 derivatives in living cell mitochondria.

The derivatives of sulfur dioxide (HSO3-) formed in the biological environment play a vital role in the circulation system. Excessive SO2 derivatives will cause serious damage to the living system. Herein, a two-photon phosphorescent probe based on Ir(III) complex (named as Ir-CN) was designed and synthesized. Ir-CN is extremely selective and sensitive to SO2 derivatives with significant phosphorescent enhancement and increased phosphorescent lifetime. The detection limit of Ir-CN for SO2 derivatives reaches 0.17 µM. More importantly, Ir-CN preferentially accumulates in mitochondria, so bisulfite derivatives can be detected at subcellular level, which enriching the application of metal complex probe in biological detection. In addition, both single-photon and two-photon images can clearly show that Ir-CN is targeted to mitochondria. Benefits from its good biocompatibility, Ir-CN may be used as a reliable tool to detect SO2 derivatives in mitochondrion of living cells.

PFF-CB: Multiscale Occlusion Pedestrian Detection Method Based on PFF and CBAM.

Occlusion pedestrian detection is an important and difficult task in pedestrian detection. At present, the main method to deal with occlusion pedestrian detection usually adopts pedestrian parts or human body relationship methods. However, in the scene of crowd occlusion or severe pedestrian occlusion, only small parts of the body can be used for detection. Pedestrian parts or human body relationship methods cannot effectively address these issues. In view of the above problems, this paper abandoned the occlusion processing method of pedestrian parts or human body relationship. Considering that it is difficult to establish the relationship between parts and key points. The scale of visible parts of the occlusion pedestrian is small, and the scale of no occlusion pedestrian and occlusion pedestrian in the same picture is different. A multiscale feature attention fusion network named parallel feature fusion with CBAM (PFF-CB) is proposed for occlusion pedestrian detection. Feature information of different scales can be integrated effectively in the PFF-CB module. PFF-CB module uses a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) to enhance the important feature information in space and channel. A parallel feature fusion module based on FPN is used to enhance key features. The performance of the proposed module was tested on two common data sets of occlusion pedestrians with different occlusion types. The results show that the PFF-CB module makes a good performance in occlusion pedestrian detection tasks.

[Efficacy of Altemeier procedure in the treatment of rectal prolapse].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the perineal rectosigmoidectomy (Altemeier procedure) in the treatment of full thickness rectal prolapse. METHODS: Clinical and follow-up data of 52 patients with full thickness rectal prolapse undergoing Altemeier procedure in 9 hospitals from September 2010 to July 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Of which 38 cases were from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, 1 case from Suizhou Central Hospital of Hubei province, 1 case from Jingzhou Second People's Hospital of Hubei province, 3 cases from Wuxue First People's Hospital of Hubei province, 1 case from Jingmen First People's Hospital of Hubei province, 1 case from Tuanfeng County Hospital of Hubei province, 4 cases from Jingzhou Central Hospital of Hubei province, 2 from PLA Rocket Army General Hospital, 1 case from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University in Jiangsu province. Altemeier operation steps: The line shaped teeth, the prolapsed rectum is first exposed to the anus. In the dentate line proximal 1-3 cm with ultrasonic knife or Ligasure ring outer rectal incision, using electric knife to mark pre resection line in rectal mucosa. Open down in front of the pelvic peritoneum. Incision of the outer intestine and the reduction of the internal rectum and part of sigmoid colon. To free and remove excess pelvic retroperitoneal, pelvic peritoneum and be at the top of the colon or rectum anterior pelvic reconstruction suture. The rear of the levator ani muscle forming rectum. Pull gently to the anus and rectum and sigmoid, in the absence of tension, 2-3 cm outside the anus was selected as the proximal inner bowel pre resection line, along the line of pre transection of proximal bowel resection, again the broken end of intestine full-thickness end-to-end anastomosis. Postoperative complication and recurrence were summarized. Gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), Wexner constipation score and Wexner fecal incontinence score were used to evaluate the efficacy. RESULTS: All the 52 patients were beyond moderate full thickness rectal prolapse. Thirty-one were male and 21 were female with age ranging from 22 to 83 (average 53) years. The length of prolapsed rectum was 6 to 20 (average 9) cm and course of disease was 0.5 to 46(average 19.5) years. No perioperative death. Five patients (9.6%) had postoperative complications, including 2 anastomotic bleeding, 1 wall portion dehiscence of anastomosis, 1 anastomotic stenosis, and 1 malnutrition. Recurrence rate was 9.6%(5/52) within the long-term follow-up of 5 to 71 (median 40) years. Compared with the preoperative results, Wexner constipation score and Wexner fecal incontinence score decreased obviously (2.1±1.4 vs. 4.6±3.4, 4.8±4.1 vs. 6.8±4.1), and GIQLI significantly increased from 99.6±8.0 to 103.0±9.1 (all P<0.05) at 6-month after operation. Above 3 scores were sustained and continuously improved at 12-, 24-, and 36-month during the follow-up (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Altemeier procedure possesses good efficacy with low morbidity of complication and recurrence in the treatment of full thickness rectal prolapse.
