1.Study on the training contents of palliative care using Ridit analysis
Chinese Journal of Nursing 2009;44(8):685-687
Objective To analyze the common and individual training needs of palliative care among nurses in different level hospitals. Methods The self-designed questionnaire about training needs of palliative care was used to investigate 340 nurses in different level hospitals. The data were analyzed by Ridit analysis method. Results There were 24 important items and 26 unimportant items in the common training needs. Regarding the individual training needs,the concept of palliative care,basic nursing care and bereavement support were preferred by the primary-level hospital nurzes,while the principles of palliative care,basic nursing care and pain management in secondary-level hospital nurses,radiotherapy and chemotherapy care and the ethical and moral problems in palliative care in third-level hospital nurses. Conclusion Different level hospital nurs-es have beth common and individual needs in the training contents of palliative care. Ridit analysis can distinguish the differ-ences and provide reference for the training.

Objective To investigate the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli strains and their laboratory-developed biofilms in vetro and the basic mechanisms of its action.Metods The bacteria were irradiated with a He-Ne laser in the presence of toluidine blue O (TBO).The colony forming units (CFU) of each strain were countde before and after treatment,and the uptakd of TBO by the bacteria was determined using fluorospectrophotometry. Results With a constant light dose,the bactericidal effects of PDT against the two bacteria cultures increasde woth the concentration of TBO,with the strongest bactericidal effect after PDT treatment more than 90%.S.aureus seemed to be more sensitive to PDT than E.coli,though the amount of TBO absorbed by the E.coli cells was significantly larger.The effects of PDT on mature and immature biofilms formed by the two strains showed no significant difference.The bactericidal rate was 20% to 30%.Conclusion Ge-Ne laser irradiation associated with TBO demonstrated significcant photodynamic bactericidal effects on S.arueus and E.coli strains cultivatde in vitro,but the iffects on their biofilms wer limitde.The efficacy of PDT was independent of the absorption of TBO into the bacterial cells.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Many cytokines can be detected in saliva and serum, and have more clinical significance in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of oral mucosa disease. OBJECTIVE: To compare the interferon-γ and interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva of patients with different types of oral lichen planus and to explore the feasibility of saliva samples as a substitute of blood samples to study the interferon-γ and interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva. METHODS:Totaly 45 patients with oral lichen planus admitted at the Department of Periodontology, the Stomatological Hospital of Jiamusi University from January to July 2014 were enroled, including 15 cases of erosion type (erosion group), 15 cases of congestive erythema (congestive erythema group) and 15 cases of reticulate type (reticulate group). Another 15 healthy controls admitted for physical examination at the Department of Physical Examination, the Stomatological Hospital of Jiamusi University were enroled as controls. ELISA method was used to detect the interferon-γ and interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva in the four groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the interferon-γ levels in serum and saliva were lower in the other three groups (P < 0.01), while there were significant differences in the interferon-γ level among the patients with different types of oral lichen planus (P < 0.01). The interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva were significantly higher in the erosion group and congestive erythema group than those in the control group (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05) and reticulate groupP < 0.01 orP < 0.05). Experimental findings suggest that the levels of interferon-γ and interleukin-10 in serum and saliva are highly correlated in patients with different types of oral lichen planus, and saliva samples can be instead of blood samples to detect the levels of interferon-γ and interleukin-10 in patients with oral lichen planus.

Wether cancer patients can re-adapt to life or not after experiencing tremendous frustration is the focus of tumor care nowadays.Since the measurement methods and outcome indexes of cancer patients adaptation level are different,adaptation related factors and predictors are controversial and there is not yet a unified opinion.Currently,it is thought that demographic information (like age,gender,education),disease-related information (like physiological indicators,treatment options,body image and sex) are closely related to cancer patients adaptation after stress.However there are huge differences among the extents and effects.

Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines list options for treatment of each stage of early gastric cancer (EGC).The treatment of EGC is closely related to the lymph node metastasis, and the accurate prediction of lymph node metastasis is related to the choice of the treatment options and the prognosis of the patients.The lymph node metastasis of EGC is evaluated according to the clinicopathological factors, imaging,molecular markers and sentinel lymph node (SLN) tracer biopsy.A two-step method for the management of EGC treated with endoscopic mucosal resection/endoscopic submucosal dissection (EMR/ESD) is recommended.While for those EGC patients not suitable to receive EMR/ESD, imaging or molecular marker and SLN tracer biopsy technology are applied to determine lymph node status.

In this paper, poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA), MDI chain-extending poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA/MDI) and MDI chain-extending poly(D,L-lactide)/hydroxyapatite composite (PDLLA/HA/MDI) were prepared respectively and the effects of moulding and extruding conditions on their mechanical properties were also investigated. At the optimal conditions, bending strength of PDLLA and PDLLA/MDI is 35.1 MPa and 51.3 MPa, respectively, and their bending modulus is 2413.6 MPa and 1830.9 MPa, respectively. Bending strength of PDLLA/HA and PDLLA/HA/MDI is 31.2 MPa and 55.4 MPa, respectively, and their bending modulus is 1735.0 MPa and 2068.5 MPa, respectively. These results have shown that the mechanical properties of PDLLA/MDI and PDLLA/HA/MDI have enhanced significantly by MDI chain-extending.

Objective:
To analyze the improvement of executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) aged 7-14 years with comprehensive intervention and drug therapy alone, to provide a basis for intervention research to improve ADHD.
Methods:
A total of 80 children with ADHD treated in the Third People s Hospital of Ganzhou from January 2021 to June 2022 were randomly divided into intervention group and control group. The intervention group received drug and comprehensive intervention therapy, and sensory integration training once a week for 60 to 90 min each for 12 weeks, and conduct related training for caregivers and school teachers, the control group received only drug therapy. The changes of executive function were assessed by the stroop color word association test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) after 12 weeks of intervention.
Results:
After intervention, the results of the Stroop color word test in the intervention group (3.25±0.98, 4.92±1.40, 10.17±1.28) showed statistically significant differences ( t=12.94, 15.36, 26.34 , P <0.01) compared with those before intervention (6.47±1.92, 8.35±1.25, 16.55±1.57). There were also statistically significant differences ( t=6.76, 15.01, 16.15, P <0.01) in the control group ( 3.95 ±1.01, 5.45±1.15, 12.35±0.86) compared to those before intervention (6.17±1.87, 8.10±1.03, 16.02±1.38). Before intervention, the number of perseverative errors, non perseverative errors, and completed categories by WCST in the intervention group were (47.77±4.50, 35.50±2.37, 3.97±1.07), and in the control group were (46.45±7.34, 34.87±2.29, 3.70±1.11). After intervention, those of the intervention group and control group were (31.42±2.01, 24.75±2.05, 5.05±1.13) and (32.82±2.57, 25.55±1.04, 4.25±1.48), respectively. There were significant differences in the two groups before and after intervention ( t =21.93, 22.27 , -10.37; 10.84, 26.81, -6.90, P <0.01). After intervention, there were significant differences in the number of Stroop color word test errors, perseverative errors and non perseverative errors in WCST between the two groups ( t=-2.94, 2.29, -9.07, -2.35 , -2.06, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Through training for children and the therapy model of comprehensive intervention could significantly improve the executive function of children for a certain extent.
