Objective To study the influencing factors which will lead to depression in patients undergoing orthopedic operation and put forward reasonable nursing countermeasures. Methods 198 patients with orthopaedic operation were investigated using the self-rating depression scale (SDS),social support rating scale (SSRS) and self-designed questionnaire.The influencing factors underwent Logistic regression analysis. Results 105 cases of patients with depression were found among 185 cases,accounting for 56.8%,and 70 cases(66.6%) with mild depression,30 cases(28.6%) with moderate depression,5 cases (4.8%) with severe depressive disorders.SDS score before operation was (37.59 ± 8.74),higher than (33.46 ± 8.55 ) of the national norm.Single factor and multiple factors Logistic regression analysis revealed that paying out-of-pocket for healthcare,worrying about poor prognosis,worrying about the diagnosis and treatment level,considering bad attitude of medical staff were main influencing factors for depression,while social support is a good way to protect patients against depression. Conclusions To cope with the serious depression of orthopedic patients,medical staff should take certain measures to improve patients' psychological quality,so as to achieve the purpose of improving their physical quality.

Objective To evaluate the effects of recombinant human hematopoietic synergistic factor (rhHSF) on rapid mobilization of the peripheral blood stem cells. Methods 8 monkeys were divided into rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?day) and rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?day) + rhHSF 500?g/(kg?day) group, with 4 monkeys in each group. All of them received rhG-CSF subcutaneously once daily for 4 days, and in the latter group, the animals received rhHSF subcutaneously in single dose on the fifth day. Results The highest counts of CD34~+ cell, CFU-GM and neutrophils in animals receiving rhHSF only were 23, 1.8 and 3.3 times of baseline value at 180, 45 and 60 min, while those in animals receiving rhG-CSF and rhHSF were 41.3, 8.3 and 4.9 times of base line value. Conclusion rhHSF can rapidly mobilize hematopoietic stem cells and neutrophils into peripheral blood, and it is found to synergize with G-CSF to augment stem cell mobilization, suggesting a potent clinical utility of rhHSF in peripheral blood stem cells transplantation.
