Objective To comprehensively evaluate the development capacity of secondary public hospitals and provide hospital decision makers with objective and valid information.Methods By means of non-probability random sampling,13 secondary public hospitals were pinpointed nationwide,from which statistics of hospital development between 2005 to 2009 were collected for factor analysis of development capacity.EPIDATA3.1 and SAS9.2 were used for data input and analysis.Results Key development factors on development capacity of such hospitals are workload,hospital size,human resources and specialties.The hospitals vary in their development capacity factors to tell a difference.Conclusion Such factors as workload,size,staff makeup and specialty competence play a key role in development of such hospitals.

Objective? To expLore the knowLedge, attitude and practice status quo of puLmonary rehabiLitation among nurses in respiratory department, and to provide theoreticaL basis for cLinicaL training and quaLity controL. Methods? From JuLy to August 2018, a totaL of 134 respiratory nurses who participated in a continuing education training course in Sichuan Province were convenientLy seLected as the research objects. The questionnaire of knowLedge, attitude and practice of Lung rehabiLitation of nursing staff was used to investigate them. The univariate anaLysis of knowLedge, attitude and practice of Lung rehabiLitation of nursing staff were anaLyzed by t test and variance anaLysis. ResuLts? The totaL score of knowLedge, attitude and practice in puLmonary rehabiLitation among nurses was (101.63±19.58). The average scores of the three dimensions from high to Low were attitude (4.07±0.98), practice (3.08±1.09) and knowLedge (3.03±1.01). There were statisticaL differences in the totaL score of knowLedge, attitude and practice of nurses with different professionaL titLes and whether they had received Lung rehabiLitation training or not (P<0.05). ConcLusions? The knowLedge, attitude and practice of puLmonary rehabiLitation of nursing staff in respiratory department need to be improved. Nursing administrators shouLd strengthen guidance and training of puLmonary rehabiLitation and strengthen nurses' abiLity to impLement puLmonary rehabiLitation so as to ensure the effective impLementation of puLmonary rehabiLitation in cLinicaL work.

ObjectiveTo explore the molecular mechanism of Shuyuwan regulating polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). MethodThe nude mouse model of orthotopic transplantation of colon cancer was established. Male BALB/c-nu nude mice (n=28, 4 weeks old) were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n=7): Model group (normal saline) and low-, medium-, and high-dose (1.725, 2.310, 2.895 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) Shuyuwan groups. On day 9 after the tumor block was inoculated, the mice were administrated by gavage with corresponding agents at a dose of 15 mL·kg-1 once a day, 6 days a week, and no agent on the 7th day. After two consecutive weeks of intervention, the nude mice were sacrificed and the tumor samples were collected. A part of the colon tissue and the tumor tissue was used to prepare sections, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed for pathological observation. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase-1 (Arg-1) in the tumor tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The mRNA levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the tumor tissue were determined by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of iNOS, IL-12, EGF, and TGF-β1 in the tumor tissue. ResultCompared with the model group, Shuyuwan inhibited the growth of colon cancer cells in nude mice and caused the tumor cell necrosis in different degrees. The high-dose Shuyuwan group had the strongest inhibitory effect on the growth of tumor cells, which basically lost the normal morphology. Furthermore, Shuyuwan up-regulated the expression of iNOS and IL-12 in M1-type macrophages (P<0.05) and down-regulated the expression of Arg-1, EGF, and TGF-β1 in M2-type macrophages (P<0.05), which indicated the weakened polarization of macrophages toward M2 type and the enhanced polarization toward M1 type after treatment with Shuyuwan. ConclusionShuyuwan can inhibit the growth of orthotopically transplanted colon tumor by blocking the polarization of TAMs to M2 type and promoting the polarization of TAMs to M1 type.
