Objective Antiangiogenesis therapy has been shown to prolong survival for patients with malignant tumor .However the present study has not been observed the clinical benefit of antiangiogenesis therapy combination with chemotherapy treated with gastric canc-er.Human recombinant vascular endothelial inhibition (endostar) as a multi-targeted anti-angiogenesis drug, the mechanism is different from other Antiangiogenesis drugs.It can block different pathways of signal transduction to inhibit angiogenesis .This study aimed to observe the effect of combined application of endostar and paclitaxel on biological behavior of gastric cancer cell lines . Methods MMT assay and Tr-answell invasion assay were respectively used to examine the inhibition rate of cell growth and invasion ability when cells were treated with va-rious concentrations of endostar and paclitaxel alone or in combination.The protein expressions of VEGF,MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by Western blot. Results Endostar or paclitaxel effectively inhibited the growth of MGC803 cells and the in vitro invasion of MGC803 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.The proliferation and invasion ability of combined treatment with endostar and paclitaxel was significantly lower than that of endostar or paclitaxel alone (P<0.05).Compared with con-trol group, the VEGF,MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions were de-creased in experimental groups ( P <0.05).Compared with paclitaxel group, the VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions were relatively reduced in combination groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Endostar combined with paclitaxel can suppress the growth and invasion of MGC803 cells, and the decreasing VEGF , MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions may be involved in the mechanism .

ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect of local massage with safflower oil in patients with phlebitis following peripheral intravenous catheters.MethodsA total of 71 patients with phlebitis following peripheral intravenous catheters wererandomly divided into 2 groups, a safflower oil group with 36 cases, and a magnesium sulfate group with 35 cases. The magnesium sulfate group was treated by local external application of 33% magnesium sulfate on phlebitis at the puncture site, while the safflower oil group was treated by external application of safflower oil 3~5 cm around the peripheral vein puncture site and massage. Both groups were treated for 48 h. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain degree, marking method to label the localred swelling area.ResultsThe VAS score (0.81±0.13vs.0.94±0.11;t=4.543,P<0.01) at 48 h after the treatment, and the local red swelling area at 24 h (3.62±1.22 cm2vs.4.42±1.72 cm2;t=2.335, P=0.022) and 48 h (1.07±0.25 cm2vs.3.26±1.07cm2;t=11.952,P<0.01) after the treatment in the safflower oil group were significant lower or smaller than the magnesium sulfate group.ConclusionsLocal massage with safflower oil can effectively alleviate the severity of phlebitis, relieve symptoms, reduce the score of VAS and local red swelling area, and promote the damaged tissue to restore normal.

Objective To investigate the effect of a fast-track based clinical nursing pathway of hepatic carcinoma on patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of nurses. Methods A total of 91 primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients undergoing elective hepatectomy were enrolled and were divided into two groups by admission time, namely the control group (48 cases) and the experimental group (43 cases). The patients in the control group received traditional perioperative nursing care of hepatectomy, while the cases in the experimental group participated in fast-track nursing pathway. Patient satisfaction and nurse job satisfaction were measured before and after implementation. Results Final analysis included 45 patients in the control group and 40 patients in the experimental group. In the experimental group, the total score of patient satisfaction and the scores of all dimensions (including services and techniques, concern and care, services and techniques and overall satisfaction) were (132.75 ± 13.71), (48.30 ± 6.53), (42.60 ± 4.62), (35.98 ± 3.85), (5.88 ± 0.94), while they were (122.89 ± 16.62), (44.53 ± 7.74), (39.49 ± 5.67), (33.53±4.40), (5.33±1.13) in the control group. And the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the control group (t=-2.961, t=-2.409, t=-2.753, t=-2.709, t=-2.389, P<0.05). Furthermore,after implementing the fast-track clinical nursing pathway,the total score of nurse job satisfaction and the scores of six factors were (143.23 ± 9.40), (28.45 ± 2.72), (24.82 ± 2.28), (23.05 ± 1.33), (13.91 ± 1.95), (15.05 ± 1.43), (16.64 ± 1.65) while they were (127.36 ± 13.14), (25.68 ± 4.16), (19.64 ± 2.75), (20.23 ± 2.35), (13.23 ± 2.22), (13.68 ± 2.01), (14.50 ± 1.95) before the implementation. The former was significantly better than the latter (t =-12.462,-7.743,-12.670,-6.560,-2.417,-1.483,-6.587,P<0.05). However, no differences were observed in the other two dimensions of wages and benefits andwork-family balance(t =-1.945,-1.312,P>0.05) since the scores after implementation were (13.86 ± 2.12), (7.45 ± 1.57), while that of (13.18 ± 2.30)、(7.23 ± 1.41) were obtained before performance. Conclusions Application of fast- track nursing pathway in perioperative patients with PHC can contribute to promoting the level of patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of nurses and improving nursing quality. It is suggested that this nursing pathway will have more potential value for PHC patients.
