Objective To obtain a two-dimensional evaluation result of the quality of examination paper on fundamental nursing and the students' performance,so as to find the weakness and problems in teaching and learning,and to put forward some suggestions.Methods With the S-P chart analytic system which was designed by using the technology of Excel VBA,we made an analysis of 164 papers of fundamental nursing.Results Both the P-curve and S-curve were in the lower right corner.There wasn't any long vertical line in P-curve.There wasn't any long horizontal one in S-curve either.Caution index of 4 questions and 15 students exceed 0.75.The totality difficulty index of the paper was 0.79.The suitability index was 0.43.The stability index was 0.48.Conclusions Propositional contents about physician orders management,gastric lavage,administering medication,observation of disease and pain need to be reformed into both wide coverage and clear focuses.There are no faults in students' grades.Different learning levels do exist,but with little difference.S-P chart affords multiplex and huge amount of information.Its graphics and parameters help to analyze both the students' and teachers' performance from the macroscopic and microcosmic angle,so as to make teachers self-reflective on teaching fundamental nursing and producing papers from various aspects.

Acupuncture and Tuina plus functional training were used to treat forty cases of shoulder impingement syndrome. Twenty-seven cases were cured clinically, accounting for 67.5%; 9 cases had marked effectiveness, accounting for 22.5%; 3 cases had effectiveness, accounting for 7.5%; 1 case obtained no effect, accounting for 2.5%; the total effective rate was 97.5%.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between test anxiety and mental health in adolescents. METHOD: The subjects were 450 students of two academic high schools in J City, who were selected through convenient sampling. Data were collected through a survey using a structured questionnaire from September 1st to 15th 2005. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0 for Windows through descriptive analysis, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and stepwise multiple regression. RESULT: The mean score of test anxiety was 2.40 (range:1.13-3.81) and that of mental health was 2.77 (range:0.64-5.03). A significant negative correlation was observed between test anxiety and mental health (r=-0.28, p=.000). Test anxiety was significantly different according to adolescents' general characters such as gender (t=-1.98, p=.048), grade (F=3.54, p=.030), school life satisfaction (F=10.73, p=.000) and relationship with the teacher (F=11.60, p=.000). Mental health was significantly different according to adolescents' general characters such as religion (t=2.14, p=.032) and school life satisfaction (F=4.13, p=.017). The most powerful predictor of mental health was test anxiety and it, combined with religion, accounted for 9.0% of variance in mental health in adolescents. CONCLUSION: Test anxiety and mental health was found to be in a significant negative correlation with each other in adolescents. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for adolescents needs to reduce their test anxiety to improve their mental health.

Metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes have been the most serious social and health problems in the world. Current treatments mainly focus on the disease consequence rather than the cause of metabolic disorders, and it is difficult to curb the global trend of explosive growth of patients. Thus new and more effective prevention and treatment strategies are needed. Genetics and environment influence the process of obesity and diabetes. But the genomic analysis only accounts for 10% to 20% of the metabolic diseases, while environmental factors such as diet and other lifestyle habits play an important role in the onset of metabolic diseases. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that human gut microbiota is closely related to the onset and development of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The rapid progress in this emerging academic field will not only help elucidate the pathogenesis of metabolic disease, but will also provide direction for exploring new therapeutic targets and pathways.

Purpose　The aim is to investigate the effects of thymopeptide on LPS-induced release of nitric oxide (NO) from mouse peritoneal microphase in vitro.Methods　NO was detected by Griess reagent.Results　Thymopeptide 83.3～333.3 μg/ml reduced NO synthesis and secretion from mouse peritoneal microphase in vitro significantly.Conclusion　The effects of thymopeptide on LPS-induced release of NO from mouse peritoneal microphase may be one of mechanisms of its pharmacological effect.

Objective　 To assess preoperative value of serum CA125 determination for uterine endometrial carcinoma including myometrial invasion, lymph node metastasis, surveillance and recurrence of the carcinoma. To explore the relationship between serum CA125 levels and pathological grades of endometrial carcinoma.　Methods　Serum CA125 levels were determined by ELISA test in 67 cases of postmenopausal endometrial carcinoma. 　Results　There were significant differences in CA125 levels between patients with clinical stage Ⅲ、 Ⅳ cases and clinical stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ (P<0.01). Serum CA125 levels of 10 cases with recurrent carcinoma were positive. Serum CA125 levels of patients with papillary serous adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than those of adenocarcinoma. No relation was found between pathological grades and serum CA125 levels. 　Conclusions　Serum CA125 levels was a useful clinical parameter for determination of postmenopausal endometrial carcinoma preoperatively.

Objective To explore the epidemic factors for dental fluorosis of residents living around an aluminum smelter plant. Methods The contents of fluoride in 1 575 urine samples, some drinking water samples collected from the centralized water supply systems, springs and wells water, wheat, Chinese cabbage, soil and air samples were determined. The epidemic situation of dental fluorosis in 1766 residents was investigated according to the unique national standard. Results The concentration of urine fluoride [(1.913?1.413) mg/L] of 1 575 residents living around an aluminum smelter plant was higher than that (about 0.5 mg/L) in non-endemic area, the prevalence rate of dental fluorosis was 90.09%. The contents of fluoride in wheat, Chinese cabbage and soil did not exceed the related limits or background values. The concentration of fluoride in air samples exceeded the Grade II limit of Environment Air Quality Standard by 0.04-2.73 times. Conclusion Air fluoride pollution and drinking tea water containing higher concentration of fluoride are considered as the one of the factors that may cause dental fluorosis of the residents living around this aluminum smelter plant.
