Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(9):651-657
Objective To describe status of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and its trajectory during three different time node for the operation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy among breast cancer patients. Methods The convenience sampling method was used for 242 cases diagnosed with breast cancer which prepared for breast cancer resection, prepared to be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and conformed to the sample standard from a tumor hospital and two affiliated hospital of medical college from February 2014 to November 2015 in a city. The follow-up survey of CRF was conducted respectively in the three different point-in-time for one week after the operation, at the end of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Results After the operation mean rating for general fatigue was mild (2.59±2.41) points, and approximately 76.0% (184/242) patients experienced fatigue to low- grade degree; After the chemotherapy fatigue was significantly increased (6.57 ± 2.43) points, and 75.2% (182/242) patients accounted for severe fatigue; After the radiotherapy mean rating for fatigue was moderate (4.38 ± 2.46) points, and 57.0%(138/242) patients suffered to moderate fatigue. During the whole treatment period the level for general fatigue and four dimensions of fatigue were in the unstable state ofwaveof fluctuations with mild, severe, moderate, and fatigue were statistically different in three different stages of treatment ( F= 43.16,P=0.000). The age and operation method were associated with CRF in thephaseofoperation(age t=7.365, P=0.003; operation method t=5.166, P=0.009), chemotherapy (age t=9.835, P=0.000; operation method t=3.313, P=0.025) and radiotherapy (age t=9.014, P=0.000;operation method t=10.392, P=0.000). Conclusions There is a certain difference with CRF of breast cancer patients at different stage of rehabilitation treatment. There are two factors that could affect CRF such as age and operation method in the whole rehabilitation treatmentperiod.

Objective To understand the short-term effect of practice skill training for general practitioners in Guangdong province and to provide scientific basis for improving the training strategy. Methods According to the training outline (Outline of job-transfer training for general practitioner in primary health institutions (trial))of the Ministry of Health,job-transfer training was provided for a total of 451 primary care doctors in economically undeveloped cities for one year. All trainees were investigated before and after training by questionnaire,which were designed by ourselves and included practical skill level and satisfaction degree.SPSS 13.0 software was used to do statistical analysis and data were processed by description analysis,t test,ANOVA and correlation analysis. Results Average self-evaluation scores of practical skills were 136.37 ±21.74 and 169.39 ±17.12 before and after training with significant differences (t=29.028,P=0.000). Scores of all types of practical skills after training were significantly higher than those before training (P<0.000 1). Total satisfaction rate was 91.6%and students were not well satis-fied with training environment and training guarantee. Fac-tors influencing the effect of training included educational background,professional title,doctors' de-sire of training,whether taking part in the general practitioner training or not. The effect of practical training was positively correlated with total satisfaction (r=0.162,P=0.037). Conclusions Remark-able results of practice skill training have been achieved. In the future,more chances for practice should be provided for trainees and contents of skill training should be designed according to the need of community health service,and more attention should be paid to the training project management.

Objective To investigate the effects of dynamic ventilatory factors on inflammatory response and function of extrapulmonary organs in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) dogs. Method Thirty-six healthy dogs were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal control group (N group), ARDS group ( M group) and ventilation groups (A~D groups)hased on a series of random number. The ARDS dog model was replicated by iutrawacheal instillation of hydrochloric acid and mechanical ventilation was carried out according to the following protocols. Group A:low VT, low inspiratory flow and high respiratory rate. Group B: large VT, high inspiratory flow and high respiratory rate. Group C: large VT, high inspiratory flow and low respiratory rate. Group D: large VT, low inspiratory flow and low respiratory rate. After 4 hours of mechanical ventilation, animals were sacrificed.Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and intefleukin (IL)-8 levels in blood serum were measured by radioimmunoassay.Histopathological changes of liver and kidney were observed under light microscope. Results The level of IL-8 and TNF-u of group B and C were much higher than those of group D, A and M ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among group D, A and M ( P>0.05). The level of IL-8 and TNF-α of group N were much lower than other groups ( P<0.05). The change of histopathology was the most significant in group B and C while the change of histopathology on group C was better than group B. The change of histopathology on group A and D was better than group B and C. The change of group A was similar to group M. All the data were analyzed by statistical F test. There was statistical difference with P<0.05. Comclusions Large tidal volumes with high inspiratory flow and high respiratory rate may increase mediators of inflammation in blood sennn, and aggravate the irflamnnmtory response of extrapulmonary organs. Beducfion of inspiratory flow and respiratory rate ventilation may prevent the occurrence d multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
