Objective:To explore the nursing efficacy of 321 health education model on maintenance hemodialysis patients with itchy skin.Methods:A total of 97 cases of maintenance hemodialysis patients with itchy skin from January 2019 to December 2019 in the Central Hospital of Panzhihua were divided into control group of 49 cases and study group of 48 cases by table of random number. The patients in control group were taken with conventional nursing and health propaganda measures while the patients in study group accepted a different nursing mode of combining 321 health education model. The Chinese version of the Four-Item Itch Questionnaire (FIIQ), the Chinese version of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the Chinese version of the Kidney Disease Questionnaire (KDQ) were used to evaluate the skin itchy status and its influences to patients′ life and life quality of the 2 groups before and after intervention.Results:There was no significant difference in the skin itchy status and its influences to patients′ life and life quality before intervention between the two groups( P>0.05). After intervention, the total score of FIIQ, and the scores of the three dimensions of itchy degree, itchy frequency, and influences on sleep were respectively (7.46 ± 0.94), (1.83 ± 0.26), (1.92 ± 0.29), (1.86 ± 0.23), which were all lower than the same data of the control group patients: (12.36 ± 1.24), (2.69 ± 0.31), (3.02 ± 0.42), (2.91 ± 0.37), showing differences with statistical significance ( t values were 14.79-21.90, P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of the DLQI, and the scores of five dimensions of symptom perception, daily life, entertainment and leisure, work and study, and treatment of the patients in study group were respectively (10.55 ± 1.27), (2.85 ± 0.29), (2.11 ± 0.32), (2.47 ± 0.29), (1.72 ± 0.25), and (2.21 ± 0.27), which were all lower than the same data of patients in control group: (14.47 ± 1.78), (3.92 ± 0.37), (1.57 ± 0.22), (1.64 ± 0.25), (1.26 ± 0.18), (1.21 ± 0.11), indicating statistically significant difference ( t values were 9.67-23.80, P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of KDQ and the scores of the four dimensions of physical symptoms, fatigue, depression, and frustration of the patients in study group were respectively (121.66 ± 15.91), (27.36 ± 3.02), (24.44 ± 3.44), (26.71 ± 3.58), and (19.28 ± 2.66), which were all higher than the same data of patients in control group: (108.38 ± 14.69), (24.51 ± 2.64), (22.60 ± 3.41), (22.45 ± 3.47), (14.92 ± 2.04), presenting differences with statistical significance ( t values were -9.07 - -2.65, P<0.05). Conclusions:For maintenance hemodialysis patients with itchy skin, the nursing intervention by 321 health education model can effectively ease the itchy skin problem, relieve the impact of itchy skin on patients' lives, and improve the life quality of patients.

Background Recent research showed that stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) plays critical role in mediating inflammation,metastasis of tumour and neovascularization of tumour.However,There is still no report about the research of the effects of SDF-1 on alkali-burn-induced corneal neovascularization (CNV).Objective The aim of this study attempts to investigate the role of SDF-1 and chemokine receptor CXCR4 in alkali-induced corneal neovascularization in mice.Methods Alkali-induced-corneal neovascularization animal models were constructed of in 15 eyes of 15 clean C57/BL mice by placing the filter paper with 1 mol/L NaOH to the central cornea for 10 seconds.The animals were sacrificed and specimens of cornea were obtained in 3,7,14 days after alkali burn of cornea.The expression of SDF-1/CXCR4 protein in the corneal tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot,and expression of SDF-1/CXCR4 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).Results SDF-1 was absent expressed and CXCR4 was faintly stained in normal cornea.The expression level of SDF-1 and CXCR4 was significantly enhanced in different time points after alkali burn in comparison with normal control mice by RT-PCR(P＜0.05),and the same trend was seen in the expression level of SDF-1 and CXCR4 proteins by Western blot (P＜0.05).The expression level of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in cornea peaked in the seventh day and began to decline in the fourteenth day but was still higher than normal level.Conclusion The study indicates that SDF-1/CXCR4 plays an important role in the formation of corneal new vessel in alkali-burn-induced animal model.

Objective:To explore the effects of nutritional intervention on the nutritional status,cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD).Methods:90 AD patients were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group,with 45 cases in each group.Patients in the control group received anti-dementia drugs,and patients in the intervention group additionally received TPF-T as the oral nutritional supplement.The nutritional status and nutritional biochemical indicators,cognitive function and ADL of two groups were evaluated when enrolled and 6 months later after the treatment.Results:After 6 months'treatment,the nutritional status,MMSE,ADL scores and nutritional indicators of patients in the intervention group were significantly improved compared to the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Nutritional intervention can effectively improve the nutritional status,cognitive function and ADL of patients with dementia.

The Present study designed according to AOAC is conducted to evaluate the practical protein quality of the porcine blood solely and mixed with other dietary proteins.Proximate analysis shows the average contents of crude protein and water in the spray-drying porcine blood are 85.0% and 12.0% respectively.The porcine blood protein is scant of Isoleucine (0.5%) and its Leu/Ile ratio is as high as 26. The amino acid pattern results in poor protein quality of the porcine blood, with BV, NPU and NPR value being only 16.5, 15.5 and 0 respectively. Therefore diets containing porcine blood as a sole source of protein can not maintain the normal body weight of rats.But porcine whole blood protein is rich in Lysine (7.8%) . When the spray-drying porcine blood is mixed with the wheat flour in proportion of 3%, the protein quality of the mixed dietary protein comparing with either of its constitutional proteins, is improved remarkably and its nutritive parameter values (BV:73.3, NPU: 61.8, PER: 2.46, Calbrated PER:1.9 and NPR: 4.3 respectively) are higher than those of the wheat flour protein (BV: 55.3, NPU: 46.6, PER: 1.01, Calibrated PER: 0.8 and NPR: 3.1 respectively).

Objective To determine the relationship between preoperative plasma D-dimer level and the lymphnode metastasis characteristics in colorectal cancer patients.Methods A total of 106 patients with colorectal cancer were studied in order to evaluate this relationship.Their preoperative plasma D-dimer levels were measured.Results were correlated with the clinicopathological findings.Results Significantly different plasma D-dimer levels were found with respect to histologic N(P ＜ 0.001).The number of lymph node metastases was found to have the strongest association with D-dimer level among the significant clinicopathologic factors (Spearman rank correlation,P ＜0.001).The most useful cutoff of the plasma D-dimer levels for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis was determined to be 0.4 μg/mL.Conclusion Plasma D-dimer levels can help assess lymph node metastasis in patients with eophageal cancer and should be measured preoperatively.

Objective To study the effect of adjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on intrahepatic recurrence after curative liver resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC).Methods 130 PHC patients who underwent curative liver resection from June 2010 to February 2013 were selected and randomly allocated to the study group (n =67) and the control group (n =63).The study group underwent adjuvant TACE for 1 ～ 4 times,and the control group did not receive any adjuvant therapy.On follow-up for 36 months,the postoperative recurrence rates,tumour free survival time and tumor free survival rates of the two groups were compared.Results At 6 months after surgery,the serum AFP level [(379.8 ±91.7) μg/L vs.(414.5 ±84.3) μg/L] and the IGFBP-2 level [(2 855.3 ±727.5) μg/L vs.(3 259.6 ± 894.1) μg/L] in the study group were significantly lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The 1-year cumulative recurrence rate in the study group (10.4％ vs.28.6％) was significantly lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).However,the 2-year and 3-year cumulative recurrence rates were not significantly different between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The 3-year cumulative tumor free survival rate of the study group (81.0％ vs.73.2％) was significantly higher than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Patients in the study group with portal vein tumor thrombus had an 1-year cumulative recurrence rate of (12.8％ vs.31.6％) and a 2-year rate of (28.2％ vs.50.0％).In patients with a preoperative AFP ≥400 μg/L,the 1-year cumulative recurrence rates were (8.8％ vs.30.6％).When the tumor diameter was ≥10 cm,the 1-year,2 year and 3-year cumulative recurrence rates were significantly lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05,11.8％ vs.46.7％),(35.3％ vs.75.3％) and (47.1％ vs.86.7％),respectively.The recurrence rates in patients who had no cancer thrombus,a preoperative AFP ≤400 μg/L and a tumor diameter ＜ 10 cm were not significantly different between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The recurrent rates of patients who underwent TACE 1 time and those who did not receive TACE showed no significant difference (P ＞0.05).In patients who had TACE twice,the 1-year (4.3％ vs.28.6％),2-year (15.2％ vs.41.3％) and 3-year (26.1％ vs.49.2) cumulative recurrence rates were significantly lower than patients who did not receive TACE (P ＜ 0.05).In patients who had TACE for more than three times,the cumulative recurrence rate was similar to patients who had TACE twice (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Adjuvant TACE helped to reduce PHC recurrence after curative liver resection during the high-risk period for recurrence.A 1-time TACE did not significantly reduce postoperative recurrence rate,and ≥ 3 times TACE did not significantly improve tumor-free survival rates.Adjuvant TACE and the number of TACE should be reasonably carried out based on the indications and pathological characteristics.

Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin(NGAL),also known as lipocalin 2,has close relationship with human neoplasias,which is up-regulated in a number of malignancy and involves in the process of tumor development.But it appears to exist paradoxical effects attributed to NGAL in human neoplasias.For instance,through protecting MMP9 from autodegradation,NGAL has a clear pro-tumoral and pro-metastatic effect,as has already been observed in breast cancer and esophageal cancer.However,on the contrary,for pancreatic cancer and ovarian cancer,NGAL can inhibit FAK phosphorylation and vascular epidermal growth factor synthesis,having an anti-tumoral and anti-metastatic effect.This review summarizes the current knowledge about the dual effects of NGAL in the process of tumor development,and attempts to explore the possible underlyins mechanism.
