Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(8):59-60
Objective To describe the anxiety status of new nurses in emergency department so as to put forward strategies for nursing management. Methods Thirty-two new nurses (working time less than 2 years) from emergency department of two class Ⅲ- A general hospitals in Xiamen were surveyed by using Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS). Results The average of SAS total score showed significant difference from that of the Chinese norm, but no significant difference could be seen in the score of SAS be-tween college and baccalaureate nurses.Nurses with different working length showed significant difference in SAS score. Conclusions Anxiety status of new nurses in emergency department is serious, nursing man-agers should make more efforts to conduct mental health education and improve psychological quality of new nurses in emergency department to relieve their anxiety.

Objective To study the potential of bFGF to promote human bone marrow derived MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyogenic cells, and its effect on proliferation of MSCs. Methods MSCs isolated from adult human bone marrow were cultured in four different systems. Group A: medium with 5-aza. Group B: medium with bFGF. Group C: medium with 5-aza+bFGF. Control group: medium alone. The morphological changes of MSCs were observed. Then immunocytochemistry staining against ?-actin,cTnT,and Connixin43 was performed. The expression of Nkx2.5, GATA-4 and cTnT was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The proliferation of MSCs in different groups was measured by MTT. Results The MSCs in both group A and C partially differentiated into myogenic cells and expressed proteins of ?-actin,cTnT,and connixin43. In group A and group C, the mRNA level of Nkx2.5,GATA-4 and cTnT was higher than that of control group. In group B, mRNA level of Nkx2.5 and GATA-4 was higher than that of control group. As compared with the control group, cell proliferation was faster in group B than in group A and C. And the proliferation was faster in group C than in group A. Conclusion bFGF can promote the proliferation of MSCs significantly. When combining with 5-aza, bFGF can promote MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyogenic cells more effectively.

Objective To investigate the expression of actin-associated protein Transgelin in pancreatic cancer with or without diabetes and its effects on migration and invasion in SW1990 cell line. Methods The expression of Transgelin in 92 pancreatic cancer tissue specimens (45 cases accompanied with diabetes) and adjacent tumor-free tissue specimens (over 5cm from the edge of the tumor) was detected by immunohistochemistry, and their association with clinical pathological characteristics were also analyzed. Transgelin siRNA was designed and transfected into pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990. The changes of migration and invasion before and after transfection were observed through Transwell test.Results The positive percentage of Transgelin expression in pancreatic cancer was 68.5 % (63/92), which was significantly higher than that of adjacent tumor-free tissues[33.7% ( 31/92), P< 0.05]. The positive percentage of Transgelin expression in pancreatic cancer accompanied with diabetes was 84.4% (38/45), which was significantly higher than that without diabetes[53.2% (25/47), P<0.05]. The expression of Transgelin in pancreatic cancer tissues was associated with lymph nodes metastasis and TNM staging (both P<0.05), but not related with gender, age, site, differentiation and portal vein or nerve invasion (P>0.05). After Transgelin was interfered for 48 hours, the migration ability was significantly lower (migration cell number 49.2 ±9.5 cells) than negative control group (61.9±7.5 cells) and blank group (65.3±10.6 cells) (both P<0.05), and the invasion of SW 1990 cells (48.0 ± 8.6 cells) also significantly lower than negative control group (63.5±11.4 cells) and blank group (67.5±9.6 cells) (both P<0. 05). Conclusion Transgelin may involve in the metastasis of pancreatic cancer accompanied with diabetes through promoting pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion.

In this paper, different acupoints are stimulated by using pulse stimulating signals with different frequency. The correlation between input signal from acupoints and output signal from brain band is studied. A method to optimize input of acupoints is obtained by an experiment system. And the dynamic connection between meridian and brain band is identified. Experiment has shown that there exists maximal correlation between the signal of 30 Hz intermittent pulse stimulation and the induced cerebral alpha band. And the 30 Hz intermittent pulse stimulation can induce more beneficial cerebral a band.

Objective To explore the clinicopathologic characteristics,to screen risk factors of metastasis and to analyze the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NEN).Methods From January 2010 to November 2015,the clinical data of 405 patients with GEP-NEN were retrospectively analyzed.GEP-NEN tumors were classified as neuroendocrine tumor (NET,G1 and G2 grade),neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC,G3 grade) and mixed adenoendocrine carcinoma (MANEC,G3 grade).The clinicopathologic characteristics were summarized.The staining characteristics of synaptophysin (Syn),chromogranin A (CgA) and CD56 of tumor tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.x2 and t test were performed to analyze differences in pathologic characteristics between groups.Logistics regression method was used to analyze the risk factors of metastasis.KaplanMeier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis.Results The mean age of patients with GEP-NEN was (54.7± 13.3) years.Gastric NEN was the most common GEP-NEN (98 cases,24.2%),followed by 95 cases (23.5%) with NEN in rectum,86 cases (21.2%) in pancreas and 50 cases (12.3%)in esophagus.Among them,47 cases (11.6%) were functional GEP NEN and 358 cases (88.4%) were non-functional GEP-NEN.According to pathologic diagnosis,227 cases (56.0%) were NET,125 cases (30.9%) were NEC and 16 cases (4.0%) were MANEC.According to tumor classification,120 cases (29.6%) were grade G1,108 cases (26.7%) were grade G2 and 177 cases (43.7%) were grade G3.Immunohistochemistry staining positive ratesof Syn,CgA and CD56 were 97.4 % (381/391),44.0 % (121/275) and 83.9%(291/347),respectively.The median (lower quartile,upper quartile) diameter of grade G1,G2 and G3 tumors were 1.0 cm (0.6 cm,1.5 cm),1.5 cm (1.0 cm,2.5 cm),4.0 cm(2.5 cm,6.0 cm),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (Z =99.171,P < 0.01).The positive rate of CgA of grade G3 tumor was lower than that of grade G1 and G2(x2 =7.078 and 11.391,both P< 0.01).The results of Logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor size and pathologic classification were the important predictors of metastasis.The median survival time of metastasis group and non-metastasis group of grade G3 was 12.0 months and 41.5 months,and there was a significant difference between the two groups by Log-rank test (x2 =37.075,P<0.01).Conclusions GEP-NEN may occur at any part of the digestive system.There are differences in tumor size positive rate of,immunohistochemistry staining and the primary site of tumors with different pathological grading.The tumor diameter and pathologic classification are the important predictors of metastasis.The prognosis of metastasis group is worse than that of non-metastasis group.
