Objective To know the state of working satisfactory in appointment nurses, and then carry out certain countermeasures to promote their working satisfactory. Methods Investigated 137 ap-pointment nurses by serf-designed quesstionnair and JDI from five aspocts, to know their working satisfacto-ry and analyzed the resluts. Results The total points of working satisfactory in appointment nurses was 1882, which indicated that the level of working satisfactory was in a low state, the order of average points of working satisfactory in appointment nurses from low to more was promote, incomes, nursing cares, nursing management and yokemate. There were different working satisfactory in appointment nurses with different marital status, different working age, different operating post. Conclusions Effective nursing manage-ment, logical re, yard system and offer scope for nurses ability can promote their working satisfactory, and then ensure the stability of appointment nurses.

Objective:The aim of the present study was to determine the relation between coronary atherosclerosis and periarteries atherosclerosis by ultrasound measured as carotid and femoral artery structure and function and coronary angiograpgy. Methods: Subjects(75 cases) were divided into two groups according to coronary lesion and non-coronary lesion.Relation between coronary atherosclerosis lesion and multiple factors was found by analysis of clinical statues,laboratory test and sonograhpy. Results: Intima-media thickness in common carotid and femoral arteries,carotid plaques and invert peak and whole time on invert peak in femoral arteries were significantly higher in coronary lesion group than those in non-coronary lesion group(P

BACKGROUND:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor has been detected in bone and tooth, and its role in development and metabolism of bone and tooth tissue as wel as its clinical application has become a hot spot. OBJECTIVE: To summarize and analyze the effect and mechanism of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in development and metabolism of bone and tooth tissues. METHODS: Papers addressing the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in bone and tooth tissue were retrieved by computer in Wanfang and PubMed databases with the key words of “brain-derived neurotrophic factor, TrkB, p75NTR, signaling, bone, tooth, osteoblasts, osteoclasts” in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 53 papers were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor can be detected in various tissuesin vivo, and can regulate cel survival and apoptosis through binding its two receptors. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in bone and tooth tissue can bind to target cels, induce or inhibit cel proliferation and differentiation, indicating that brain-derived neurotrophic factor is closely linked to bone and tooth tissue, and may play a role in growth and reconstruction of bone and tooth. Its mechanism of action is mainly through binding to TrkB receptor, to activate downstream pathways and affect differentiation and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cels, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and periodontal ligament cels. Interaction between p75NTR receptor and TrkB receptor may be one of the factors affecting cel differentiation or proliferation.

Objective The increased use of high-resolution ultrasound (US) for thyroid disease has markedly increased the detection rate of nonpalpable thyroid nodules .The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of conventional ultrasonography, ultrasonic elastography(UE) and combined application of both in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 105 patients with 160 histologically proved thyroid nodules from September 2014 and August 2015 in our hospital.The receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve analysis was made on Thyroid Imaging Repor-ting and Data System ( TI-RADS) score, elastography score and the score of combined application.The area under curve ( AUC) was calculated and compared to select the best cut-off value in order to work out the respective diagnostic efficacy of 3 methods and Kappa consistence check with pathologic results . Results In ROC curve analysis, AUC of combination score(0.930, 95%CI:0.890-0.969) was higher than those of TI-RADS score(0.855, 95%CI:0.794-0.915) and elasticity score(0.845, 95%CI:0.780-0.909), and the difference was statistically significant (Z=2.20, 2.03, P<0.05) .Taking TI-RADS score≥4, elastography score≥3, and combination score≥7 as the limitation to diagnose ma-lignant thyroid nodules, the specificity and PPV of combination score(94.3%, 95%CI:0.867-0.979;91.7%, 95%CI:0.809-0.969) were higher than those of TI-RADS score(78.4%, 95%CI:0.681-0.862;84.7%, 95%CI:0.692-0.886) and e-lasticity score(81.8%, 95%CI:0.719-0.889;78.7%,95%CI:0.674-0.870).Kappa value of combination score(0.718, 95%CI:0.610-0.826) was higher than that of TI-RADS score(0.586, 95%CI:0.461-0.711) and elasticity score(0.635, 95%CI:0.515-0.755). Conclusion Conventional ultrasonography and UE are mutual complementation, and the application of conventional ultrasonography combined with UE has higher value than single examination in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of Lugol solution staining combined with nar-row band imaging (NBI)for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods From December 201 3 to December 2014,1 87 patients who were with suspicious esophageal lesions and stained with Lugol solution under endoscopy were selected as control group,while from January 2015 to June 2015,124 patients who were with sus-picious esophageal lesions and examined with Lugol solution staining and NBI under endoscopy were selected as observation group.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results One hundred and four cases (75.0%)were found among observation group,which was higher than 93 cases (55.6%)among control group (χ2 =12.07,P <0.01 ).The total detection rates of esophageal cancer and high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGN)were 29.0% and 17.7% in observation group respectively,which were higher than 1 8.2% and 6.4% in control group (χ2 =4.15,P =0.04;χ2 =8.54,P <0.01 ).The Kappa value in observation group was 0.55,which was higher than 0.36 in control group.The sensitivity and accuracy in observation group were 89.9% and 82.3% respectively,which were significantly higher than 71 .8% and 68.4% in control group (χ2 =9.79,P <0.01 ;χ2 =7.38,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The sensitivity and accuracy of endoscopic Lugol solution staining combined with NBI for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions are higher than Lugol solution staining,and it is worthy to popularize the application of Lugol solution staining com-bined with NBI in diagnosing esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.

Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays a key role in maintaining various cellular characteristics and mediating cellular physiological function and pathological processes .Although it has long been known that mitochondria takes up Ca2+, the molecular identities of the channels and transporters involved in this process are revealed only recently . Here, we review the structure and function of the channel-forming subunit, mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) and its regulators, which include MICU1, MICU2, and MCUR1.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of total mesorectal excision in radical operation of rectal carcinoma.Methods From 1997 to 2007,126 consecutive patients with middle and inferior rectal carcinoma underwent surgical operation according to the principle of total mesorectal excision.Results Two patients(1.6%) died of postoperative pulmonary infection,and postoperative anastomotic leakage occurred in 2 cases(1.6%).The postoperative follow-up of 1-5 years showed that local recurrence rate 2 years after surgical operation was 4%(5/126),the 3-,5-year survival rate was 93.6%(116/124) and 84.7%(105/124),respectively.Conclusions Total mesorectal excision can decrease the frequency of postoperative local recurrence of rectal cancer without increasing complications as long as its correct indications are selected.

The short stature homeobox-containing(SHOX) gene,located in the short-arm pseudoautosomal region (PAR1) of the sex chromosomes,is one of the recently discovered genes,which is related to short stature.Its encoded protein,as a transcription activator,plays an important role in the regulation of growth.It has now been confirmed that the human SHOX gene mutation can cause L?ri-Weill syndrome,Turner syndrome,idiopathic short stature growth and its related characteristic skeletal deformities.This review makes a summary about SHOX gene defects,its clinical phenotype and treatment.
