Dignity is the idea that a being has the innate right to be valued, respected, and treated ethically. It reflects the value of life.Dignity therapymainly discusses thedignity during the period of death and dying.It involves symptom control, body integrity, au-tonomy, privacy boundaries, respect, and proper handling of personal affairs and death in peace. Dignity therapy is a unique, individu-alized, and brief psychotherapy that was developed for the purpose of relieving distress, enhancing end-of-life experience, reducing psychological and mental burden, and improving the quality of life for dying patients.

Liver fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that occurs in most types of chronic liver diseases. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are major sources of the excess ECM deposited in fibrotic liver. Transforming growth factor ? (TGF-?) is considered to play a generic role in the development of tissue fibrosis, as it stimulates the synthesis and deposition of ECM components. Smad pathways are central mediators of signals from the receptors for transfor- ming TGF-? to the nucleus. However, growing biochemical and developmental evidence supports the notion that non-Smad pathways also participate in TGF-? signalling. TGF-? signalling pathways play an important role in regulating tissue homeostasis and have been implicated implicated in diverse pathological conditions. It is oow our challenge to design ways of blocking the fibrosis-specific actions of TGF-? through downstream signalling pathways and mediators without compromising the other activities of this multifunctional cytokine, which is essential for health.

Objective To assess the clinical siginificance of the cardiopulmonary resuscitator in respiratory and cardiac arrest patients by comparing the curative effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitator and bare-handed cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods 102 patients on the verge of the death were randomiy divided into two groups and begin to CPR in four seconds after confirmation of respiratory and cardiac arrest. Patients in group 1 were given bare-handed CPR. Patients in group 2 were given cardiopulmonary resuscitation by cardiopulmonary resuscitator. Patients in both group 1 and group 2 received lasting CPR according to the 2010 GUIDE of CPR, then we observed their self-heart-beating, self-breathing, caroid puise, expression, puplillas, ECG. Results In the group 1,the effective case was 1,the non-effcctive cases were 63,the effective rate was 1.56%. In the group 2, the effective cases were 6, the non-effective cases were 31, the effective rate was 16.21%, there was a statistically significant difference between two groups ( <0.01) . Conclusion Cardiopulmonary resuscitator has good effect in cardiopulmomary resuscitation for respiratory and cardiac arrest patients, and the effective rate is significantly higher than bare-handed CPR,so it deserves clinical promotion.

Objective To study the effect of recombinant human endostatin hormone combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Fifty-two primary HCC patients were divided into combined group (26 patients) and control group (26 patients) by random digits table method.The patients in combined group received TACE and recombinant human endostatin hormone added in embolism emulsion.The recent curative effect,level of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),adverse reactions,recurrence rate and survival rate were compared between two groups.Results The response rate(RR) and clinical benefit rate(DCR) in combined group were 57.69％(15/26),84.62％(22/26),in control group were 34.62％(9/26),73.08％(19/26),there were significant differences (x2 =5.237,P ＜ 0.05 ; x2 =4.284,P ＜ 0.05).The 7th,14th,28th day after TACE,the level of VEGF in two groups was first increased and then a downward trend,the difference were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The level of VEGF in combined group was significantly lower than that in control group (P＜ 0.05).The follow up rate was 94.23％(49/52),the 1-year and 2-year recurrence rate in combined group was significantly lower than that in control group (P＜ 0.05).The 2-year and 3-year survival rate in combined group was significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion With TACE plus recombinant human endostatin hormone can effectively inhibit the increase of serum VEGF level,improve curative effect and disease control rate,reduce tumor recurrence and improve survival rate.

Nowadays more and more evidences suggest that glycemic management of the patients in intensive care units needs to be individualized.We should pay more attention to the diabetes history in these patients besides the primary diseases.A brief literature review and a commentary about this topic were presented in this article.

Based on the hospital information system, the hospital value-added service platform is constructed.The paper intro-duces the design scheme of the platform, its functional modules, the design of the database, the implementation of the platform and its application prospect, points out that the platform can not only serve as the channel for the information exchange between doctors and pa-tients but also offer such value-added services as health consultation and illness tracking other than regular services.

Objective To analyze the characteristic of articles,authors and citations in Journal of Clincal Neurology from 2005 to 2007. Methods The data about articles,authors and citations in Journal of Clincal Neurology from 2005 to 2007 were analysed by bibliometrics method.Results There were 674 papers published in Journal of Clincal Neurology during the 3 years. The average number of articles per isseu was 37.4. The average number of article per paper was 0.47.The papers with funded projects were 142( 21.1%).The authors distributed in 28 mainland provinces,municipality cities and autonomous region. And main of them came from Jiangsu,Shandong,Shanghai and Beijing,and 93.1% of them shared with co-author. The coporation rate was 4.1. The ratio of the papers with citation was 86.6%,and 97% of all the citations came from journals. The average number of citation per paper were 8.6 items. The Price's indicator was 43.7%. Conclusion Journal of Clincal Neurology is an academic journal of higher quality,with stronger influence in field of clincal neurology.

Objective:To ensure that the metrology calibration in pharmaceutical enterprises is in compliance with the requirements of GMP, the key issues in the metrology calibration that is in the process of the implementation of the new project of pharmaceutical enterprises are researched on. Methods: The six key issues in the metrology calibration process are identified and are researched on. The six key issues is collection of the metrology information, completion of metrology information, determination of operating range and maximum permissible error, determination of calibration interval, classification management of measuring equipment, formulation of internal calibration procedure, and practical methods for the above issues are presented.Results: the metrology calibration process is controllable, the measurement result is accurate and reliable, and the measurement data can be traced back. Conclusion:when the implementation of pharmaceutical enterprises new projects, that the key issues of the metrology calibration process are made good use of these solutions can lay a good foundation for future work, and ensure that the metrology calibration process is in compliance with the requirements of GMP.
