Objective To investigate the feature of c-kit gene mutation in gastrointestinal stromal tumor （GIST） and its correlation with clinicolpathology， molecular targeted therapy，and prognosis. Methods The related literatures about the molecular genetic mechanism of GIST were reviewed. Results The c-kit gene mutation， which is prevalent in GIST， may be the early genomic events， and they are not the independent prognostic factor. However， different molecular subtype as a new indicator to regulate biological behaviors and assess prognosis of GIST is still controversial. Conclusions The study of genotype in GIST has advanced our understanding of pathogenesis， evaluating the prognosis and conducting treatment optimization. However， subsequent work remains to be done.
【摘要】 目的 评价以问题为基础式学习与病例讨论式学习在“临床风险筛查”培训教学过程中的应用效果。 方法 2010年6月-2011年7月，联合应用两种教学方法对参训医学生进行培训，然后进行临床资料采集、资料整理等实践活动。最后，对学生培训效果进行总结。 结果 共培训医学生50人，并对398例患者进行营养风险筛查。45人（90%）参与者认为此教学方式能激发自身主动学习兴趣，40人（80%）认为通过此次培训能够使学生逐步建立科学研究的思维方式，但有20人（40%）认为短期内采用两种教学方式能够对论文写作、统计学理论和实践等方面能力的提高有促进作用。影响医学生科研能力培训效果的主要因素集中体现在学习任务量的加重、对新教学方法不适应、自学能力三方面。 结论 联合应用问题为基础式学习与病例讨论式学习教学模式，在提高医学生学习主动性、积极性、团队合作及人际沟通能力等方面有优势，但尚存部分问题需要进一步解决。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based study (CBS) in clinical nutritional risk screening training program. Methods All the students were trained by the combination methods of PBL and CBS. Clinical assessment, data collection and the collection of samples were conducted by the students. Finally, the impact of the new teaching strategy was assessed. Results From June 2010 to July 2011, there were a total of 50 students who attended the training program from various departments, and 398 patients were screened for nutritional risk. Forty-five students (90%) thought that this teaching method could inspire their interest in study; 40 students (80%) thought that this teaching method could help them establish a scientific way of thinking. Students who thought this teaching methodology could contribute to their enhancement of writing and statistical skills accounted for only 40 percent of the total enrollment. “High learning burden”, “difficulty in adapting to the new teaching methods” and “the ability of self-study” were the main factors which affected the motivation of students. Conclusions Combined applications of PBL and CBS have advantages in improving students′ learning initiative and enthusiasm, and developing the abilities of team cooperation and interpersonal communication skills. However, there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
Objective To explore the clinical application and effect of infrared thermal imager in blood flow monitoring after skin flap surgery by comparing with skin-contact thermometer. Methods Fifty patients who had undergone flap repair in the microsurgery ward of Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between October 2019 and October 2020 were enrolled. An infrared thermal imager (FLIR ONE Pro) and a skin-contact thermometer were applied to monitor the skin temperature change till 7 d after surgery. The time consumed of using infrared thermal imager and skin-contact thermometer by different nurses, the efficacy of flap temperature monitoring of the two devices, the temperatures at different time points by using the two devices, and the temperatures under different distances to the flaps by using infrared thermal imager were compared. Results Different nurses had no difference in operating either of the two devices (P>0.05). It took significantly less time to measure the temperature of the flap area with the infrared thermal imager than using skin-contact thermometer [(39.28±3.52) vs. (103.85±9.09) s, P<0.001]. The skin temperature measured by the infrared thermal imager was significantly higher than that by the skin-contact thermometer (P<0.001), and the skin temperature measured by the infrared thermal imager at a height of 30 cm was higher than that at a height of 50 cm (P=0.006), but the temperature change amplitudes were both stable. Conclusions Infrared thermal imager is superior to skin-contact thermometer in terms of temperature measurement time, ease of operation, and sensitivity to temperature changes after skin flap operations. The thermal image collected by infrared thermal imager can provide an important basis for the identification of flap vascular crisis. It is a visual and objective blood supply monitoring equipment.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for seizures in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and to assess their predictive value for seizures. MethodsSeventy-four patients with AE from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2016 to March 2023 were collected and divided into seizure group (56 cases) and non-seizure group (18 cases), comparing the general clinical information, laboratory tests and imaging examinations and other related data of the two groups. The risk factors for seizures in AE patients were analyzed by multifactorial logistic regression, and their predictive value was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. ResultsThe seizure group had a higher proportion of acute onset conditions in the underlying demographics compared with the non-seizure group (P<0.05). Laboratory data showed statistically significant differences in neutrophil count, calcitoninogen, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, homocysteine, and interleukin-6 compared between the two groups (all P<0.05). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis of the above differential indicators showed that increased C-reactive protein [Odds ratio (OR)=4.621, 95% CI (1.123, 19.011), P=0.034], high homocysteine [OR=12.309, 95CI (2.217, 68.340), P=0.004] and onset of disease [OR=4.918, 95% CI (1.254, 19.228), P=0.022] were risk factors for seizures in AE patients, and the area under the ROC curve for the combination of the three indicators to predict seizures in AE patients was 0.856 [95% CI (0.746, 0.966)], with a sensitivity of 73.2% and a specificity of 83.3%. ConclusionHigh C-reactive protein, high homocysteine and acute onset are independent risk factors for seizures in patients with AE, and the combination of the three indices can better predict seizure status in patients.
Objective To investigates the awareness of medical staff on prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) . Methods Between April and July 2014, health workers from towns and cities of Liangshan Prefecture participated in the class of prevention of HIV PMTCT for key areas in Sichuan province. Those participants, together with some other health workers from the same area whose daily work was related to prevention of PMTCT, were selected as the study subjects. PMTCT prevention knowledge survey questionnaire was given out for the investigation, and chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results We retrieved altogether 447 (out of 450) valid questionnaires. Of all the respondents, 94.18% were aware of proper time for HIV antibody testing and routes of transmission in the perinatal period, 95.30% knew the strategy of applying as early as possible antiviral drugs during pregnancy, and 86.58% learned to know when to give the first dose to the newborns and avoidance of breast-feeding. However, the awareness of relevant applied knowledge was relatively low. The total awareness rate of medical workers from women and children’s hospitals were significantly better than that of medical workers from general hospitals (P<0.05), and differences of the awareness depended on different specialties, professional titles and working age (P<0.05). Conclusions The majority of medical personnel in the surveyed area have grasped basic knowledge of PMTCT of HIV, but the ability of applying relevant knowledge precisely, promptly and standardly in daily practices needs to be improved. We recommend that, in addition to strengthening routine training on knowledge of PMTCT of HIV, the mastering and practice of key technical intervention strategies should be followed up and evaluated, especially for those from general hospitals. And it is also important to give training and after-training assessment based on different specialties.
