Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(35):18-21
Objective To explore the effects of exercise nursing intervention on renal transplant recipients.Methods A convenient sample of 64 renal transplant recipients during rehabilitation period were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 32 cases in each group.The experimental group received routine care and rehabilitation exercise,while the control group just received routine care.The body mass index(BMI),blood pressure and heart rate were measured in the two groups.Results Before intervention the differences of BMI,heart rate,blood pressure between the two groups were not statistically significant.However,after intervention,the BMI and blood pressure of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,but there was no significant differences in heart rate.Conclusions Rehabilitation exercise nursing intervention contributes to raise recipients' quality of life and promote whole rehabilitation.

Objective To evaluate the application of dual-source CT (DSCT) using low-dose technology in diagnosing complex congenital heart diseases. Methods The DSCT data of 31 cases with complex congenital heart diseas-es conifrmed by operation were retrospectively analysed and classiifed into four groups:group A(≤4 months old, n=12); group B (>4 months old~1 year old, n=3);group C (>1 year~6 years old, n=8) and group D (>6 years old, n=8). Results The diagnosis conformation rate of DSCT with surgery were 94.59%. The diagnostic conformation rate of intracardic anormalies using DSCT was 92.86%. And the diagnostic conformation of DSCT in patients with abnormal connection of atrium or ventri-cle to great vessels and the extrocardic anormalies was 95.65%. The average effective dose in each group were 1.16±0.06 mSv, 1.28±0.07 mSv, 1.96±0.54 mSv and 2.77±0.38 mSv, respectively. The ratio of the high quality images was 90.32%. Con-clusions The application of low dose technology in DSCT can clearly display the anomalies, and signiifcantly reduce the radiation dose without losing image quality as well.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of pitavastatin on the patients with earlystage diabetic nephropathy and its mechanism.Methods Seventy cases of early-stage type 2 diabetic nephropathy were divided into pitavastatin group and regular treatment group by random digits table method with 35 cases each.Meanwhile,35 healthy adults with physical examination were recruited as control group.Before and after treatment in pitavastatin group and regular treatment group and on the day of physical examination in control group,the blood glucose,blood lipid,renal function,urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interleukin (IL)-18 were determined and compared.Results Before treatment,the levels of total cholesterol (TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),triglycerides (TG),fasting blood sugar,2 h postprandial blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,UAER,hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-18,HDL-C were (5.74 ± 1.35) mmol/L,(3.73 ± 0.75) mmol/L,(3.46 ± 1.87) mmol/L,(10.25 ± 2.36) mmol/L,(15.59 ± 3.64) mmol/L,(8.67 ± 2.28)%,(124.2 ± 52.5) μg/min,(3.64 ± 1.48) mg/L,(43.74 ± 8.35) μ g/L,(113.43 ± 32.75) ng/L,(1.15 ± 0.36) mmol/L in regular treatment group and (5.93 ± 1.41) mmol/L,(3.68 ± 0.71) mmol/L,(3.29 ± 1.92) mmol/L,(10.48 ± 2.69) mmol/L,(16.04 ± 3.16) mmol/L,(9.48 ± 2.46)%,(116.2 ± 50.4) μ g/min,(3.48 ± 1.46) mg/L,(45.93 ± 9.41) μg/L,(120.68 ±35.20) ng/L,(1.18 ±0.35) mmol/L in pitavastatin group,and (4.57 ±0.83) mmol/L,(2.87 ± 0.64) mmol/L,(1.37 ± 0.58) mmol/L,(4.57 ± 1.37) mmol/L,(7.38 ± 1.30) mmol/L,(5.84 ± 1.57)%,(14.8 ± 9.4) μ g/min,(0.84 ± 0.52) mg/L,(10.42 ± 2.83) μ g/L,(20.84 ± 8.56) ng/L,(1.54 ± 0.39) mmol/L in control group.Before treatment,the levels of TC,LDL-C,TG,fasting blood sugar,2 h postprandial blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,UAER,hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-18 in regular treatment group and pitavastatin group were higher than those in control group,HDL-C was lower than that in control group,and there were significant differences(P < 0.01).The levels of TC,LDL-C,TG were (4.42 ± 1.28),(3.20 ± 0.57),(2.02 ± 0.87) mmol/L after treatment in pitavastatin group,which were lower than those before treatment,and there were significant differences (P < 0.01).The levels of UAER,hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-18 were (88.3 ± 36.7) μ g/min,(2.54 ± 0.76) mg/L,(35.62 ± 5.28) μg/L,(83.23 ± 21.57) ng/L in regular treatment group and (64.8 ± 34.6)μ g/min,(2.19 ± 0.65) mg/L,(27.70 ± 7.58) μ g/L,(63.20 ± 18.67) ng/L in pitavastatin group after treatment,which were lower than those before treatment,but the decreased degree was obvious in pitavastatin group.Conclusions Pitavastatin can significantly reduce not only UAER,but also the levels of hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-18,while effectively lower the blood lipid,in early diabetic nephropathy,which indicates that pitavastatin can reduce urine protein and protect renal function by inhibiting the inflammatory process.

Breast cancer and thyroid diseases are common diseases in women.It is reported that breast cancer and thyroid diseases have some relevance.Breast cancer patients have relatively high incidence of thyroid dysfunction,thyroid node and thyroid cancer,which are easily misdiagnosed for lacking of obvious clinical manifestations and will affect the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer.In breast cancer patients,screening and diagnosis of thyroid function and disease through thyroid function detection and ultrasound examination should be strengthened.

Objective To explore correlation between alexithymia and resilience in military personnel.Methods 2802 subjects were chosen by random cluster sampling to outline the military personnel resilience scale and military alexithymia scale.The data were analyzed by t-test,chi-square test,ANOVA,correlation analysis and multiple linear regressions analysis.Results The prevalence rate of alexithymia was 6.85%,while resilience was 6.60%.Compared to sea force (45.62 ± 11.25 ) and air force (45.32 ± 9.98 ) subjects,land force (47.92 ± 9.92)had significantly higher total score in alexithymia(P< 0.05 ).Compared to sea force (87.35 ± 12.15 ) and air force ( 88.58 ± 10.39 ) subjects,land force ( 85.73 ± 10.70) had significantly lower total score in resilience(P < 0.05 ).The total score and every factor score of subjects with alexithymia were significant lower than those of control group in resilience(P < 0.05 ).Every factor of Resilience Scale were mild negative correlation with every factor of Alexithymia Scale (P<0.01).Problem solving,volition,optimism and family supports were the main factors which had affected on the alexithymia.Conclusion The prevalence rate of alexithymia in military personnel is lower than ordinary people,but there are still issues in alexithymia and resilience,particularly in land force.The research show mild correlation between alexithymia and resilience in military personnel.

Background and purpose: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are known to promote the invasion and metastasis of epithelial cancers. The cytokine IL-6 may mediate the interaction between stromal cells and epithelia in tumor microenvironment to facilitate the invasiveness and metastasis of cancer, however, such mechanism has not been fully covered yet.Methods:We used cervical cancer cell line HeLa as a model for this study. ELISA was used to measure the levels of IL-6 in CAFs and normal ifbroblasts (NFs) isolated from squamous cervical cancer or normal cervical tissues. CAFs conditioned medium or IL-6 was used to treat cervical cancer HeLa cell line. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers such as N-Cadherin and Vimentin were detected by Western blot in cells before and after treatment. Scratches and transwell chambers were used to test the abilities of cell migration and invasion. Results:The levels of IL-6 were 4-5 folds higher in CAFs than in NFs. Treatment of HeLa cells with CAF conditioned medium or IL-6 upregulated N-Cadherin and Vimentin, but down-regulated E-Cadherin and cytokeratin, compared with control cells, indicating that IL-6 may stimulate HeLa cells to EMT. Further study found that Snail 1, the featured transcription factor for stem cells, was increased along with the enhanced phosphorylation of STAT3. Meanwhile, the migration and invasion of HeLa cells treated with IL-6 or CAF conditioned medium were markedly increased. Conclusion:CAF induces the EMT of cervical epithelial cancer cells through IL-6/STAT3/Snail pathway, which thereby promotes the invasiveness and metastasis cervical epithelial cancer.
