Objective To investigate the effect of blood pressure when measuring with clothing. Methods Measure the blood pressure of the right upper limb by using two different methods among the same group, and then analyze the data. Results Both SBp and DBp values which have measured with clothing are significant higher than those which have measured without clothing. The average difference of SBp and DBp are 1.54 mm Hg and 1.01 mm Hg respectively. Conclusion The patients who have no abnormal Bp history can be measured Bp with clothing, while this method should be forbidden to the patients who have hypertension or hypotension history.

Objective To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET in predicting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Methods Fifty-four cases of pancreatic cancer were divided into two groups. Taking standard uptake value(SUV) at 4 as the cut off point, patients (22 cases) with that not more than four were classified into group A, and those (32 cases) with SUV greater than four were into group B. The prognosis of patients by SUV was analyzed statistically. Results There was a statistically significant difference in survival between the two groups ( P =0. 01 ). The 1-,3-year survival rate was 68. 18% 、34. 91% in group A in those the SUV≤4, and 33.61% 、11.95% in group B( SUV ＞4), respectively. Cox proportional hazard model showed that tumor staging and SUV were the significantly independent prognostic factors in patients with pancreatic cancer. Conclusions 18F-FDG PET is of value in predicting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of cystic pancreatic tumors. Methods The clinical data of 21 cases with cystic pancreatic tumors were retrospectively analyzed. Results This group enrolled 21 cases including serous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas (SCN, 11 cases), mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas (MCN, 6 cases), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN,2 cases), solid posudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP,2 cases). Seven cases had certain symptoms or typical signs, while others were asymptomatic and tumors were found by regular physical examinations. All of the cases were diagnosed by CT scans, and the value of serum tumor markers was within normal range. Twenty patients underwent pancreatic tumor resections and there was no perioperative death. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 8 cases, and distal pancreatectomy was performed in 6 cases including 1 patient undergoing laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy. Middle segment resection was performed in 4 cases, and tumor enucleation was performed in 2 cases. These 20 patients were followed up for 11 to 96 months, and there was no tumor recurrence or metastasis. One patient with mucinous cystic carcinoma underwent palliative operation and survived 4 months after surgery. Conclusions Preoperative imaging was not able to confirm the definite tumor pathological category. Laparotomy should be performed in a patient with cystic pancreatic tumor. The selection of surgical approach should be individualized, and the laparoscopic operation is an alternative.

Objective To investigate the relationship of TCM constitution and syndrome elements based on patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. Methods A survey was conducted among 1316 patients with diabetes, coronary disease, hypertension and cerebral infarction. Totally 326 patients with hyperhomocysteinemia were incorporated in diagnostic data and their constitutions were determined. At the same time, syndrome elements identification method for syndrome elements was applied for judgment, and consistency of the constitution and syndrome elements was analyzed. Results The survey showed that prevalence rate of population with hyperhomocysteinemia was 24.77%;there were 6 cases with mild nature, and 320 cases with biased constitution;phlegm dampness, blood stasis, qi deficiency of constitutions 110 cases, 73 cases and 59 cases, respectively;blood stasis, phlegm, qi deficiency, and dampness were the main syndrome elements of hyperhomocysteinemia, of 100 cases, 98 cases, 73 cases and 59 cases, respectively;the consistency of phlegm dampness constitution and syndromes of phlegm was the most obvious (Kappa=0.89, P<0.05). Conclusion Phlegm dampness, blood stasis, and qi deficiency were the most common constitutions of hyperhomocysteinemia;blood stasis, phlegm, qi deficiency and dampness were the main syndrome elements of hyperhomocysteinemia patients. The two results were consistent, and the consistency of phlegm syndrome and phlegm dampness constitution was the most obvious.

Objective To identify the miR-217 targeted gene ANLN by experiment.Methods Bioinformatic algorithms were used to predict the potential targets of miR-217.Then,ANLN binding with miR217 and mutant ANLN (mutANLN) sequence were designed and synthesized,and their amplified fragments were inserted into plasmid psiCHECK-2,and recombinant plasmid psiCHECK-2-ANLN and psiCHECK-2-mutANLN were reconstructed.The two recombinant plasmids were co-transfected into pancreatic cancer cell line PANC1 with miR-217,miR-217 inhibitor,NC,NC inhibitor by liposome,respectively.Dual luciferase reporter system was used to determine the luciferase activity,and Western blot was used to measure the expression of ANLN protein.Results The luciferase activities of psiCHECK-2-ANLN,psiCHECK-2-ANLN +miR-217,psiCHECK-2ANLN + miR-217 inhibitor,psiCHECK-2ANLN + NC,psiCHECK-2-ANLN + NC inhibitor were 2.221 ± 0.188,0.769 ± 0.061,3.764 ± 0.371,2.265 ± 0.201,2.242 ± 0.018,and the difference among these groups was statistically significant (F =77.405,P ＜0.001),but the difference among psiCHECK-2ANLN group,psiCHECK-2-ANLN + NC group and psiCHECK-2-ANLN + NC inhibitor group was not statistically significant.However,luciferase activities of psiCHECK-2-ANLN + miR-217 group were significantly decreased when compared with other 3 groups,and luciferase activity of psiCHECK-2-ANLN +miR-217 inhibitor group were significantly increased when compared with other 4 groups (all P ＜0.001).Luciferase activities of groups transfected with psiCHECK-2-mutANLN was not significantly different (P =0.053).The expression of ANLN protein in PANC1 with psiCHECK-2-ANLN + miR-217 co-transfection was significantly down-regulated when compared with that with psiCHECK-2-ANLN transfection alone.Conclusions ANLN is one of the direct target genes of miR-217 in PANC1 cells.

Objective To investigate current research in nursing interventions for shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke in Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in China.Methods Totally 215 nurses from the departments of neurology and rehabilitation of 6 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals from a municipality or provincial capital from 6 provinces,which scattered across the northern,northeastern,eastern,central and southern,southwestern and northwestern parts of China,were selected by convenient sampling between January and June 2016.The nurses were investigated with the self-designed Shoulder-hand Syndrome After Stroke Questionnaire.Totally 215 questionnaires were sent out,with 184 valid questionnaires collected.SPSS 21.0 software was used in data statistics.Results The 184 nurses' average scores in the dimension of attention to shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke was(4.38±0.59);and the score in reasonableness of nursing interventions for shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke was(3.98±0.88).Their scores in nursing knowledge related to patients with shoulder-hand syndrome was(48.50±16.67),and their scores in the dimensions in clinical manifestation,risk factors and interventions were(4.59±3.24),(2.67±3.90)and(4.06±1.21),respectively.The knowledge scores were sorted in descending order,and the top 3 scores were found in"nursing principles for shoulder-hand syndrome" "best period of rehabilitation training for shoulder-hand syndrome" and "observation points of affected extremities".Conclusions The nurses' attention to and knowledge about shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke is not enough.There is a lack of standards or guidelines for shoulder-hand syndrome.The process of nursing interventions for shoulder-hand syndrome is not reasonableenough and the nursing processes are not fully implemented.Therefore,nursing processes need to be further standardized.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the main causes leading to the failure in cancer treatment. Differential proteins between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell line EC9706 and its cisdiamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP)-resistant subline EC9706/CDDP revealed by quantitative analysis may provide deeper insights into the molecular mechanisms of MDR implicated in ESCC. EC9706/CDDP was generated by exposure of its parental sensitive EC9706 to a step-wise increase of CDDP concentration during EC9706 cultivation. The stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) was used to label EC9706 and EC9706/CDDP with heavy and light medium, separately. Mixed peptides derived from EC9706 and EC9706/CDDP were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) and subsequently subjected to bioinformatics analysis to identify differential proteins between EC9706 and EC9706/CDDP. Compared to parental EC9706, EC9706/CDDP manifested phenotypes of slow proliferation, cell pleomorphology, atypia and increased resistant-index 3.23. Seventy-four differential proteins identified in the present study belongs to various families with multiple functions, such as cytoskeleton (20%), energy metabolism (11%), transcription regulation and DNA repair (11%), redox homeostasis (9.5%), protein biosynthesis and mRNA processing (12%), ribosome constituent (8.1%), molecular chaperone (8.1%), immunity/inflammation (5.4%), intracellular transport (5.4%) and nucleosome assembly (2.7%), which indicated that development of MDR is a complicated process involving dysregulation of multiple molecules and pathways. The data is of great value for in-depth elucidation of molecular mechanisms of the MDR implicated in ESCC and may represent potential molecular targets for future therapeutic development.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical significance of miRNA-216a expression in pancreatic cancer.

METHODSFourteen patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and 6 patients with benign pancreas lesions were examined for miR-216a expressions in the tumor or lesion tissues using Agilent Human miRNA Microarray (V12.0). The relationship between miR-216a expressions and the clinicopathological features of the patients was analyzed.

RESULTSThe expression of miRNA-216a was significantly lower in pancreatic cancer than in benign pancreas lesions (P=0.000). The expression of miRNA-216a was significantly correlated with the T stage of the tumor (P=0.002), but not with the patients' age, gender, smoking status, tumor stage, lymph node metastases, distant metastasis, tumor differentiation, nerve invasion, vessel invasion or serum CA19-9 level (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe down-regulated expression of miR-216a in pancreatic cancer suggests the involvement of miR-216a in the tumorigenesis and development of pancreatic cancer. miR-216a may potentially serve as a novel tumor marker and also a prognostic factor for pancreatic cancer.

Nurse is one of the most common occupations in shift work. Due to the particularity of nursing work, shift work often causes nurses to suffer from shift work sleep disorders. It will not only lead to an increase in the risk of accidents in work, but also increase the incidence of nursing errors, and even seriously harm the physical and mental health of individual nurses. This paper reviews the prevalence, serious harm, related influencing factors and intervention measures of shift work sleep disorders among nurses at home and abroad, in order to expect nursing managers and nurses to raise their awareness and pay attention to shift work sleep disorders, thereby improving professional identity and happiness of nurses.

Objective:To form a nursing standard for shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) after stroke in accordance with the clinical situation by expert argumentation in the best evidence systematically retrieved and screened for SHS after stroke with the method of Delphi expert consultation.Methods:According to the level of evidence, we systematically retrieved and screened relevant guidelines, evidence summary, systematic reviews, original studies and expert consensus. Two researchers who had received Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence-based training used the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation (AGREE) Ⅱ, JBI quality evaluation tools for systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials/experimental studies and expert consensus to evaluate the included guidelines, systematic reviews, original studies and expert consensus. The included literature was classified and summarized, and recommendations and conclusions related to SHS after stroke were screened and extracted. According to the results of the literature summary, the first draft of the clinical nursing standard for SHS after stroke was formed. Using the Delphi method, 25 experts in related fields were selected for two rounds of expert consultation to demonstrate the contents of the first draft.Results:This study included 8 guidelines including 1 evidence summary, 2 systematic reviews, 7 original studies and 2 expert consensus. The overall quality of the guidelines was Grade B; one piece of evidence summary was of good quality and was Grade B; the overall quality of two systematic reviews was low, and the overall quality of seven original studies was average.
