Objective To investigate perioperative nursing of respiratory system in severe scoliosis patients.Methods 26 severe scoliosis patients with respiratory function training before operation were retrospected.All of them tested pulmonary function before and after training,postoperative respiratory system nursing were also taken to maintain airway unobstructed,including respiratory rate and oxygen saturation monitoring,effective pain management and respiratory complications controlling.Results The average forced vital capacity(FVC)was 45.9%and 52.1%before and after breathing exercises,the mean forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)was 43.8%and 48.8%before and after breathing exercises,with lung function improvement in 69.2%patients. There were two hemopneumothorax and three mild or moderate pleural effusion occurred within 10 days after surgery,but all recovered after effective treatment and nursing.Conclusions Perioperative systematic and effective training in respiratory function and airway management can improve lung function and surgical safety,reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications,and promote early rehabilitation .

BACKGROUND:DCLK1 is a transmembrane microtubule-associated kinase in neurons after mitotic division, which may be the intestinal cancer stem cel marker. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression and pathological significance of DCLK1 and Ki67 in colorectal cancer. METHODS: Expression of Ki67 and DCLK1 in 150 cases of colorectal cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemical method in contrast to normal colorectal mucosa, para-carcinoma tissue, and adenoma tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression rates of DCLK1 and Ki67 were 36.7% and 34.7% in cancer tissues, respectively, both of which were significantly higher than those in normal colorectal mucosa and adenoma. The expression of DCLK1 was associated with the location, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), while the expression of Ki67 was just associated with the depth of invasion (P < 0.05). There was a negative correlation between the expression of DCLK1 and Ki67 (r=-0.460,P=0.000). The count of DCLK1+/Ki67-cels was about 2.01% in colorectal cancer tissues, and these cels mainly distributed at the bottom of intestinal mucosa base and common duct wal. DCLK1+/Ki67- cels were oval, the nuclei were large and deep-stained with prominent nucleolus, and there was rare nuclear fission and less cytoplasm. From the aspects of cel number, location, and cel morphology, DCLK1+/Ki67- cels are in line with the characteristics of cancer stem cels; therefore, DCLK1+/Ki67-can be used as a cancer stem cel marker of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the calculation method and its inlfuencing factors of Z scores in the aortic root diameters measured by echocardiography in children. Methods A total of 105 children with median age 19 months, who came to Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from March 2012 to October 2012 were included. The diameters of aortic ring (ARD) and aortic sinus (ASD) were measured by two dimension echocardiography, Z scores of ARD and ASD were calculated using two different normal reference values regression equation and mean square error derived from Shenzhen children′s hospital (C method) and Pettersen et al (P method). The regression equation from C method and body surface area (BSA) formula from P method were adopted to calculate Z scores of ARD and ASD (ZH method). The Z results of ARD and ASD calculated by those three methods were compared and were analyzed for their normality probability distributions. Results Z scores of ARD and ASD derived from C method were all showed as normal distribution (P=0.067 and 0.650). Z scores of ARD and ASD derived from P method were all showed as normal distribution (P=0.208 and 0.970). Z score of ARD derived from ZH method was showed as non-normal distribution (P=0.027), but Z score of ASD was normal distribution (P=0.430). There were no significant differences in ARD-Z calculated by C method (0.41±0.89), P method (0.23±0.85) and ZH method (0.36±0.94) (F=1.117, P=0.309). There were signiifcant differences in the Z scores of ASD calculated by C method (0.38±0.89), P method (0.58±0.71) and ZH method (0.36±0.84) (F=5.443, P=0.005). Z scores of ARD (r=0.917, P=0.000) and ASD (r=0.900, P=0.000) calculated by C method correlated well with that by P method. Conclusions Calculation method of BSA and normal reference values regression equation were the main influencing factors of Z score value in quantifying children aortic root diameters by echocardiography. For the clinical applications. The normal reference value should be used which is suitable for the Chinese children.

Objective To investigate the effect of applying specialist nursing assessment indicator system on improving nurse′s health assessment ability in orthopedic department. Methods A specialist nursing assessment indicator system was developed by applying evaluation indicators of nursing care quality. That assessment indicator system consisted of 9 sub-indicators. They were assessments on local blood circulation, sensation and motion, muscle strength, pain, risk of developing pressure ulcer, risk of falling down and assessment on anal sphincter function, etc. In addition, standard assessment process was developed and applied to train 54 nurses in orthopedic department, in order to standardize and improve their ability on specialist nursing assessment. Furthermore, the assessment process was transferred into specific nursing interventions to improve nurse′s health assessment ability, too. The accurate rate on those 9 indicated assessments were evaluated and analyzed regularly, pre and post the indicator system application. In the present study, each of the 54 nurses was required to assess five patients basing on the items in the assessment indicator system. The total assessment times were 270. Results After applying the indicator system, the accurate rates of assessments on local blood circulation, sensation and motion, muscle strength, pain, risk of developing pressure ulcer, anal sphincter function and assessment on developing deep venous thrombosis were 98.89% (267/270), 99.63% (269/270), 99.26% (268/270), 97.41% (263/270), 98.15% (265/270), 91.85% (248/270), 98.15% (265/270), which were higher than 95.19%(257/270), 92.96%(251/270), 96.30%(260/270), 90.37%(244/270), 92.22%(249/270), 85.56%(231/270), 92.22%(249/270) of the time when the system was not used, and the difference was significant (χ2=5.34-16.82, P < 0.05). However, the accurate rates on assessing risk of falling down and assessing ADL were not significant different, comparing to the results before applying the indicator system (χ2=0.34, 0.41, P>0.05). Conclusions Applying the specialist nursing assessment indicator system was able to standardize nursing assessment behavior and improve nurse′s assessment ability. In addition, it was beneficial to improve the quality of specialist nursing care in orthopedic department.

Objective :To construct hepatocarcinoma specific IL-1? anti-sense RNA expression vector and to explore its effect on the growth of implanted hepatocarcinoma H22 cells in mice and the possible mechanism. Methods:Murine IL-1? anti-sense RNA expression vectors pafpIRES2-antiIL-1?1 and pafpIRES2-antiIL-1?2 under the regulation of minimal alpha-feto protein (AFP) promoter and CMV enhancer were constructed,and further verified by PCR,restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. H22 cells transfected with pafpIRES2-antiIL-1? 1 or pafpIRES2-antiIL-1? 2 were divided into 3 groups:H22/mock,H22/antiIL-1?1 and H22/antiIL-1?2 group. Expression of IL-1? was detected by RT-PCR. Transfected H22 cells were subcutaneously injected into mice to establish tumor implanted mouse model. Tumor volume was measured; the cytotocixity of spleen NK against H22 cells was detected by MTT. Results:Hepatocarcinoma specific IL-1? anti-sense RNA expression vectors pafpIRES2-antiIL-1?1 and pafpIRES2-antiIL-1?2 were successfully constructed and were verified by PCR,restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. IL-1? expression in H22 cells was down-regulated after transfected with IL-1? anti-sense RNA expression vectors,especially with the pafpIRES2-antiIL-1?2 vector. Hepatocarcinoma cells implanted mouse model was successfully established. Tumor volume and growth of tumor in H22/antiIL-1?2 mice was obviously smaller than that in H22/mock mice,and the cytotocixity of spleen NK against H22 cells in H22/antiIL-1?1 and H22/antiIL-1?2 mice was also greatly enhanced. Conclusion:Hepatocarcinoma specific IL-1? anti-sense RNA expression vector pafpIRES2-antiIL-1? was successfully constructed. It effectively inhibits the growth of implanted hepatocarcinoma in mice probably through specifically blocking expression of IL-1? and increasing cytotocixity of spleen NK.
