Objective To study the effect of hospital disposal manners after workplace violence in hos-pital on organizational commitment and turnover intention among the head nurses. Methods Self-made questionnaire about workplace violence in hospital and general condition, organizational commitment question-naire and turnover intention questionnaire were conducted in 122 head nurses who had suffered hospital vio-lence in recent years from all level hospitals of Fujian province. Results The scores of affective commitment and normative commitment of organizational commitment and turnover intention showed significant difference be-tween the groups who suffered positive disposal and who suffered negative interference by the hospital after the violence events (P<0.05), but aggregate score of organizational commitment and the scores of continuance commitment showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Hospital disposal manners af-ter the hospital violence and hospital grade were influence factors on turnover intention among the head nurses.Hospital grade was also an influence factor on organizational commitment among the head nurses. Conclu-sions Hospital positive disposal means after the hospital violence on head nurse help to ameliorate organiza-tional commitment and reduce turnover intention among the head nurses.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of oral cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on lymphangiogenesis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
METHODSCAFs and normal fibroblasts (NFs) were obtained from the tissues of patients with OSCC who did not receive radio-chemotherapy before operation. And the CAFs and NFs were isolated by method of tissue block and identified by immunohistochemical staining. The effects of CAFs (group A) and NFs (group B) to human lymphatic endothelial cells (HLEC) were detected by using a 24-multiwell transwell cell culture chamber. DMEM sugar medium was as blank control group. The number of proliferative, migratory, invasive and tubes of HLEC were counted under inverted phase contrast microscope.
RESULTSThe proliferative number of HLEC of group A for 96, 144, 196 h was significantly higher than that of group B and blank control group, group B higher than blank control group (P<0.01). The migratory and invasive number of HLEC of group A for 96 h was significantly higher than that of group B and blank control group, group B higher than blank control group (P<0.01). The number of tube formation of HLEC of group A for 24 h was significantly higher than that of group B and blank control group, group B higher than blank control group (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONCAFs promote HLEC's proliferation, migration, invasion, tube formation, and these effects are stronger than NFs.

Objective To explore the risk factors and metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node (NSLN) in breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node metastasis≤2. Methods 88 cases of breast cancer with sentinel lymph node metastasis≤2 were retrospectively analyzed. Factors influencing the status of NSLN were studied. Results 8 cases (9.09%) had NSLN metastasis. Variance analysis showed that tumor stage(P=0.014), histolog-ical grade(P=0.014) and ER statuts(P=0.009) were correlated with NSLN metastasis. Logistic analysis showed that only histological grade was the independent predictor for NSLN metastasis (P=0.016,OR=1.150,95%CI=0.598~7.740).18 cases had micro-metastasis of sentinel lymph node and 70 cases had macro-metastasis of sentinel lymph node. The ratio of false negative SLN was 10.23%. The mean follow-up time was 11 months. There was no case of recurrence, metastasis or death. Conclusions The metastasis rate of NSLN is relatively low in breast cancer patients with small number of positive SLNs. NSLN metastasis is related to tumor stage, histological grade, and ER expression.

Objective To discuss the correlation between molecular subtypes of early stage breast cancer patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes and the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph nodes, and find out the factors predicting the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph nodes. Methods The clinical data of 124 female breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node positive were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were treated with axillary lymph node dissection. And the correlations were analyzed by single factor analysis and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 124 patients,non-sentinel lymph node metastasis was in 45 cases (36.3%), and only sentinel lymph node positive was in 79 cases (63.7%). The single factor analysis result showed that the age≤35 years, number of sentinel lymph node positive≥2, macrometastasis of sentinel lymph node had correlation with the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node (P<0.05 or<0.01);but the molecular type, operation method, maximum tumor diameter had no correlation with the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node (P>0.05). The multiple factor Logistic regression analysis result showed that the number of sentinel lymph node positive and circumstance of sentinel lymph node positive lesions were the independent risk factors of the non-sentinel lymph node metastasis in patients with sentinel lymph node positive (OR = 4.589 and 2.948; P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions The circumstance of sentinel lymph node positive lesions and number of sentinel lymph node positive are the independent risk factors of the non-sentinel lymph node metastasis, but the molecular type is not correlated with the metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node. Predicting non-sentinel lymph node metastasis should be combined with clinical and pathological factors.
