Case management is a flexible, systematic, holistic new care model which can integrate the episodic therapy of cancer patients. Case management applied the process of assess, plan, implementation, evaluation and feedback to the process of case management, conduct the path management from diagnosis to follow-up. This paper introduces the job descriptions and competence of case managers, the development of cancer case management domestic and overseas; so as to offer reference for the domestic implementation of cancer case management. Consequently realize the comprehensive rehabilitation of physical, psychological, social and spiritual function for cancer patients.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) is the most serious complication of head and neck tumor after radiotherapy. The pathogenesis of RBI is complicated, and the clinical course is irreversible, while no effective treatment available. The activation of glial cells is one of the main theories of RBI, and the prevention and treatment of RBI by targeting glial cells is the focus of current research. As a post-transcriptional regulatory factor, microRNA (miRNA) has been confirmed to be involved in regulatingglial cell radiosensitivity, inflammation type transformation, autophagy, exosomatic, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA) and other related pathways, thereby mediating the occurrence and development of cascade reaction of inflammatory injury and neurological function repair of central nervous system (CNS) disease. Therefore, the establishment of miRNA - glial regulatory network may provide a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of RBI.

Objective:To understand the current status of nurses' work engagement in cancer hospitals, explore its influencing factors and the mediating effect of work acceptance between hospital magnetic level and work engagement.Methods:In September 2019, 420 nurses from a ClassⅢ Grade A cancer hospital were selected as the research object by convenient sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Essentials of Magnetism ScaleⅡ (EOMⅡ) , Work-related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (WAAQ) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of nurses. Single factor analysis, correlation analysis and structural equation model were used to analyze the relationship among hospital magnetic level, work acceptance and work engagement of nurse. A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed and 408 valid questionnaires were collected.Results:Among 408 nurses, the scores of EOM Ⅱ, WAAQ and UWES were (141.53±22.73) , (33.79±8.38) and (45.11±17.27) respectively. Work engagement was positively correlated with hospital magnetic level and work acceptance with statistical differences ( r=0.549, 0.564; P<0.01) . The hospital magnetic level had a positive predictive effect on work acceptance (β=0.39) and work engagement (β=0.40) , and work acceptance had a positive predictive effect on work engagement (β=0.47) . Work acceptance had a partial mediating effect between hospital magnetic level and work engagement, and the mediating effect accounted for 31.49% of the total effect. Conclusions:Work acceptance plays a part of the mediating role between hospital magnetic level and work engagement. Nursing managers can create a magnetic nursing work environment to promote nurses' work acceptance and increase their work engagement.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the impact of sitagliptin on aspirin resistance (AR) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
METHODS:
A total of 68 cases of AR were chosen from 136 cases of T2DM patients. The clinical data, including blood samples, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), and high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were collected. Aenosine diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid (AA) -induced platelet aggregation rate (PAG) were detected in 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment to evaluate the impact of sitagliptin on AR.
RESULTS:
After 6 months of hypoglycemic treatment, FPG and HbAlc in two groups were at the normal level. The hypoglycemic effect was not obviously different (P>0.05), but the hsCRP and ADP or AA-induced PAG were decreased in the sitagliptin group with statistical significance when compared with the metformin group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Sitagliptin can significantly improve the oxidative stress inflammatory state in T2DM patients and AR, which is independent on blood glucose control.
