Objective To explore the correlation between nurses' work alienation and silence behavior.Methods 603 registered nurses were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou.They were investigated with Alienation Scale and Work Silence Behavior Scale.Results The scores of work alienation and silence behavior were (34.35±6.53) points and (37.66±6.46) points respectively,and both of them were at the medial level.Work alienation was positively related to silence behavior (r=0.603).All dimensions of work alienation were positively related to all dimensions of silence behavior (P ＜ 0.01).The predictors of silence behavior were age,nursing working years,job title,department,frustration,helplessness and meaningless,explained 42.2％ of its variance.Conclusions Work alienation has positive effect to silence behavior.The administrators in hospitals should focus on nurse,work alienation and silence behavior,and reduce silence behavior by reducing work alienation.

As a stressor, trauma can trigger local tissue lesions and reactive stress. And it give rise to a series of neuroendocrinic reactivations dominant with sympathetic activation and increased secretion of pituitary-adrenocortex. Hormone changes during stress have deep effect on nutritional substance metabolism.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of detection of serum procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)and white blood cell (wBC)on diagnosis and treatment of severe pneumonia in children.Methods A total of 189 cases of pediatric patients with pneumonia including 51 severe pneumonia cases (severe pneumonia group)and 138 common pneumonia cases (common pneumonia group)treated from Mar 2014 to Dec 2014 and 30 healthy cases (control group)were enrolled,and the level of PCT,CRP and wBC of all cases were detected.Results The levels of PCT before treatment in severe pneumonia group,common pneumonia group,and control group were 1.12(0.44 ~3.07)ng /ml,0.14 (0.09 ~0.26) ng /ml and 0.03(0.01 ~0.06)ng /ml respectively,and there were significant differences among three groups (P ﹤0.05,respectively).The levels of CRP before treatment in severe pneumonia group,common pneumonia group,and control group were 82.2(25.9 ~120.3 )mg /L,10.8 (5.3 ~23.9)mg /L and 3.2 (2.1 ~6.9) mg /L respectively,and there were significant differences among three groups (P ﹤0.05,respectively).The counts of wBC before treatment in severe pneumonia group,common pneumonia group,and control group were 10.1 (9.1 ~14.1 )×109 /L,8.8(6.8 ~1 1.7)×109 /L and 6.2(4.8 ~7.9)×109 /L respectively,and there was significant difference only between severe pneumonia group and control group (P ﹤0.05 ).The level of PCT and CRP significantly decreased in severe pneumonia group after one week of treatment[PCT:0.15(0.09 ~0.24)ng /ml,CRP:9.9(3.6 ~19.0)mg /L](P ﹤0.05),but there was no significant differ-ence of wBC counts in severe pneumonia group between after and before treatment[8.5(6.3 ~9.8)×109 /L vs.10.1 (9.1 ~14.1 )×109 /L](t =1.312,P =0.205 ).After two days of anti-inflammatory treatment in severe pneumonia group,serum PCT dropped to 44% of the level before treatment,and smoothly dropped to nearly 10% of the basic value every two days.Serum PCT was correlated with serum CRP in children with pneumonia(R2 =0.550 4,P ﹤0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of PCT and CRP could provide important guidance for the differential diagnosis,treatment and prognosis for severe pneumonia in children.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) adopts different tumor-killing mechanisms from the conventional fractionated radiotherapy.In SBRT,a single high-dose radiation can destroy the membrane of tumor cells and induce the release of tumor-associated antigen,also named in situ tumor vaccine,which stimulates the immune system to kill the residual tumor;a single-fraction radiation with a dose larger than 8-10 Gy can induce rapid apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells via the acid sphingomyelinase pathway at 1-6 hours after radiation,which causes tumor vascular occlusion and secondary tumor-killing effects.In order to understand whether SBRT improves the clinical treatment outcomes via the above mechanisms,this paper reviews the clinical research advances in SBRT for primary liver cancer.

Objective To study the effect of growth hormone (GH) combined with parenteral nutrition on skeletal muscle proteolysis for surgical critical patients. Methods Twenty surgical patients with APACHE II scores from 10 to 20 were divided randomly into two groups: parenteral nutrition group (PN group,n = 10) ; PN + GH ( GH group,n = 10). At the 5th day and 8th day during the study, urinary output of 3-methylhistidine ( 3-MH ) in 24 h urine were assessed with high performance liquid chromatography; at the 8th day the protein expressions of ubiquitin in quadriceps femoris muscle were determined by immunohistochemistry and the expressions of ubiquitin and C2 mRNA were determined by Northern blot analysis, the ultrastructure of quadriceps femoris muscle was observed under electronic microscope. All data were collected down in the form as mean ? standard deviation and analyzed with SPSS 11.5 for Windows. Results The urine level of 3-MH and the protein, mRNA and C2 mRNA expression of ubiquitin in quadriceps femoris muscle decreased in GH group as compared with PN group ( t = 4. 886, 6. 846,7. 314,5. 588,P

AIM　The purpose is to investigate the Anti-inflammatory mechanism of Biota orientalis. METHODS　Using rat leukocytes and rabbit platelets as experimental material the biosynthesis of leukotriene, 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid(12-HHT) and 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid(12-HETE) in the cells was determined with HPLC. RESULTS　Biota orientalis was shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of leukotriene B4(LTB4) and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid(5-HETE) with IC50 of 0.40 and 0.41　mg/ml crude herb, respectively. It was also displayed to inhibit biosynthesis of 12-HHT in the platelets. CONCLUSION　Biota orientalis leaves contain anti-inflammatory components and the anti-inflammatory mechanism was related with inhibiting metabolism of arachidonic acid.

Objectives:To evaluate the correlation of preoperative albumin level(PAL) and surgical prognostic risk for digestive tract diseases. Methods:This is a retrospective study of 1009 surgical patients who were undergoing elective esophageal,gastric,pancreaticoduodenal,or colon surgery between January 1998 and December 2003.Patients were subdivided into 7 groups based on the first PAL by different 5 g/L in hospital,whose incidence of complications,mortality,postoperative stay,intensive care unit(ICU) stay,and resumption of oral intake were statistically analyzed. Results:Incidence of complications and mortality increased significantly as PAL decreased(P35 g/L.Patients with PAL≤35 g/L undergoing esophageal or pancreatic procedures sustained a significantly higher complication rate and mortality than those of colonic or gastric surgery.The delay of postoperative stay,ICU stay,and resumption of oral intake were related to these complication rates.Esophageal and pancreatic procedures had the longest stay days and colon procedures had the shortest in patients with PAL≤35 g/L. Conclusions:Esophageal or pancreatic procedures performed in patients with PAL≤35 g/L who could have had surgery result in higher risk than colon or gastric surgery.PAL and surgical site identify surgical risk for digestive tract diseases.
