Objective:To explore the influence of mindfulness on perceived stress in psychiatric nurses and the mediating effect of resilience.Methods:A total of 427 psychiatric nurses from a psychiatric hospital in Beijing were selected.Five-facet mindfulness questionnaire(FFMQ), Chinese-version perceived stress scale (CPSS) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) were used in this survey.Pearson correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were performed using SPSS 24.0.And mediating effect was performed using AMOS 24.0.Results:The total score of psychiatric nurses' perceived stress was (37.89±7.16). Among all psychiatric nurses, 66.74% were under high pressure and 20.84% were under great pressure.The perceived stress was negatively correlated with mindfulness(123.69±10.82, r=-0.65, P<0.01) and resilience(85.40±17.87, r=-0.67, P<0.01), and mindfulness was positively correlated with resilience ( r=0.50, P<0.01). The direct effect of mindfulness on perceived stress was -0.15, the indirect effect was -0.34, and the total effect was -0.49. Conclusion:Resilience plays a partial mediating role between mindfulness and perceived stress psychiatric nurses.

Objective To investigate the changes of follicular regulatory T cells ( Tfr cells) and follicular T helper cells ( Tfh cells) in peripheral blood of children with myasthenia gravis ( MG) . Methods We recruited 28 MG patients and 20 healthy subjects in this study. The percentages of Tfh and Tfr cells in peripheral blood samples were measured by flow cytometry. Real-time PCR was performed to detect the ex-pression of transcription factors and regulatory factors of Bcl-6, c-MAF, Blimp-1 and PD-1 at mRNA level. ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-21 in plasma samples and the titers of Ach-Rab and PsMab. Results Compared with the healthy subjects, the MG patients showed higher percentages of Tfh cells and lower percentages of Tfr cells before receiving treatment. The expression of Bcl-6 and c-MAF on CD4+T lymphocytes cells at transcriptional level were significantly enhanced, while the expression of Blimp-1 on CD4+T cells and the expression of PD-1 on Treg cells at transcriptional level were inhibited in the MG patients in comparison with those in healthy subjects. Moreover, decreased levels of IL-2 and increased levels of IL-21 were found in plasma samples collected from the MG patients. Conclusion The decreased percentages of Tfr cells and increased percentages of Tfh cells in patients with MG resulted in abnormal ratios of Tfr/Tfh cells, which might be involved in the immunological pathogenesis of MG. Several changes in the patients with MG might be responsible for the imbalanced ratio of Tfr/Tfh cells, which included changes of IL-2 and IL-21 in microenvironment, enhanced expression of Bcl-6 and c-MAF at mRNA level and inhibited expression of Blimp-1 at mRNA level on CD4+T cells as well as over-expression of PD-1 at mRNA level on Treg cells.

Objective:We probe more direct operation pathways in sphenoidal sinus and saddle area, and take proper measures for correlated diseases which surpass scope of sphenoidal sinus by combining image data, which could prevent serious complication.Method:Under nasal endoscope, the operation approaches we adopted included trans-anterior ethmoid sinus-posterior ethmoid sinus-sphenoidal sinus pathway, trans-meatus nasi superior-posterior ethmoid sinus-sphenoidal sinus pathway, trans nasal septum-sphenoidal sinus pathway and trans-natural opening of sphenoid sinus anterior into sphenoid sinus pathway by taking upper edge of posterior naris as a consistent surgical landmark. Forty-six cases who had sphenoidal sinus mass with bone erosion recieved surgical treatment.Result:Twenty-one cases with cyst and pus cyst of sphenoidal sinus had been healed by trans-meatus nasi superior pathway;1 case with hematoma and organization in sphenoidal sinus had been cleared by trans-meatus nasi superior pathway;3 cases had hematoma and organization in sphenoidal sinus and pseudoaneurysm in internal carotid artery,one of them suffered fatal hemorrhage in surgical exploration, and cured by endovascular embolization, the other two only underwent nasal endoscopic examination,the diagnosis was established by DSA and they received interventional therapy;4 cases with papilloma in sphenoidal sinus had been treated by trans-natural opening of sphenoid sinus approach,and 3 cases were cured,1 case had only partial mass resection as the papilloma offended the outer wall of sphenoidal sinus diffusely;2 cases with cholesteatoma of sphenoid sinus have been removed completely by trans-meatus nasi superior approach;1 case with encephalomeningocele of sphenoidal sinus underwent sphenoidotomy by trans-natural opening of anterior of sphenoidal sinus, and intraoperative puncture showed characteristic cerebrospinal fluid,the exposed meninges were then repaird surgically;1 case with mycosis of sphenoidal sinus had been cured by thorough clearing of the leision in sphenoidal sinus combined with antifungal therapy;3 cases with malignancy of sphenoidal sinus had received major mass resection of sphenoidal sinus by trans-anterior ethmoid sinus-posterior ethmoid sinus approach, and followed with radio therapy and chemotheraphy;5 cases with NPC in-volving sphenoidal sinus had been treated by radio therapy and chemotherapy after pathological examinacation;5 cases with post-operative cerebrospinal rhinorrhea and granulation hyperplasia of sphenoidal sinus had been repaired successfully by trans-meatus nasi superior approach or tans-nasal septum approach.Conclusion:There are various surgical pathways to deal with sphenoidal sinus and correlated diseases under nasal endoscope.The operation will be direct, safe and minimal invasive if we choose the pathway properly. Thin slice CT scan and 3D reconstruction of sella, and DSA or angiography of brain before operation is one of effective means to prevent surgical complications for leisions beyond scope of sphenoidal sinus.

Objective To investigate the quality of life (QOL) and its influential factors in the aged patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods A cross-sectional survey of the UC patients was conducted by Chinese version of inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (C-IBDQ).The influential factors for QOL in elderly patients with UC were evaluated and analyzed by correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results A total of 90 aged UC patients finished the questionnaire study.The overall score of QOL in the aged UC patients was (175.7±37.6),and the score of each item was decreased,especially in the aspect of economic burden,emotional function and systemic symptoms.Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the influential factors for QOL were sex,disease severity,duration,disease activity and the payment.The scores of bowel symptoms were higher in men than in women [(53.9±12.1) vs.(49.1±10.5),P=0.049].The QOL scores were lower in patients with the duration less than one year than over one year (P＜ 0.05).The QOL scores were lower in severe patients than in mild patients (P＜ 0.05).The QOL scores were lower in patients during active period than during remission period [(149.7 ± 35.1) vs.(193.9 ± 27.3),t=6.731,P=0.000].The QOL scores of patients whose medical cost was mainly paid by themselves were lower than those paid by insurance.And there were significant differences in systemic symptom,social function and economic burden (all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions The QOL of the aged UC patients is impaired in varying degree.The influential factors for QOL are sex,disease severity,duration,disease activity and the payment.The QOL in UC patients is obviously affected by economic burden.

Objective To explore the sensitivity of using NT,combined with serum biochemical markers (Free-βhCG,PAPP-A) for Down's Syndrome screening in early stage of pregnancy.Methods Collect pregnant women aged 17-45 years old voluntary antenatal screening in our hospital from March 2009to October 2010,a total of 11882 cases.Serum Free-βhCG and PAPP-A were measured NT value was determined by ultrasound at 11-13w+64 of gestation.Calculating combined screening (NT,Free-βhCG,PAPP-A),and serum integrated screening (Free-beta hCG,PAPP-A) risk,respectively,using the risk calculation software for the same person.Results Early pregnancy screening was performed in 11 882patients,18 had a fetus with Down's syndrome,a rate of 0.15％.The detection rates of Down's syndrome in combined screening and serum integrated screening were 83.3％ and 72.2％ respectively.The specificities were 98.4％ and 97.3％ and detection efficiency were 7.18％,3.90％ respectively.Areas under the curve (AUCs) of fhst-trimester combined screening and serum integrated screening were 0.975 (95％ CI:0.943,1.007),0.901 (95％ CI:0.789,1.013) respectively.Conclusion In early stage of pregnancy,combined screening for Down's syndrome has higher sensitivity and specificity than serological screening,has higher detection rate in the same false-positive rate case,which can effectively reduce the pregnant women to receive invasive puncture.

E-cadherin is a key epithelial protein and adhesive molecule. This study detected the E-cadherin expression in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and controls, and analyzed its possible role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP. The expression of E-cadherin was detected by using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry in controls and patients with CRSwNP. Computed tomography (CT) scan findings were scored. The results showed that the E-cadherin expression was up-regulated in patients with CRSwNP as compared with controls (P=0.039) and the positive staining was predominantly localized on the epithelial cell membrane. E-cadherin level was correlated negatively with Lund-Mackay scores in patients with CRSwNP (r=-0.604, P=0.005). It is suggested that E-cadherin may be involved in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP and correlated with disease severity.

Objective To explore the anti-tumor effects of Egr-IFNγ gene therapy combined with 125I-UdR radionuclide therapy in mice bearing H22 hepatocarcinoma and its mechanism. Methods The recombinant plasmid pcDNAEgr-IFNγ mixed with liposome was injected into tumor. 48 h later, 370 kBq 125I-UdR was injected into tumor. The tumor growth rates at different times were observed. After 3 d gene-radionuclide therapy, the concentration of IFNγ in cytoplasm of H22 cells and cytotoxic activities of splenic CTL of the mice in different groups were examined. Results The tumor growth rates of pcDNAEgr-IFNγ +125 I-UdR group were obviously lower than those of control group, 125I-UdR group and pcDNAEgr-1 +125I-UdR group 6-15 d after gene-radionuclide therapy. IFNγ protein was found in cytoplasm of H22 cells in PcDNAEgr-1FNγ+125I-UdR group after 3 d gene-radionuclide therapy. Cytotoxic activity of splenic CTL in pcDNAEgr-IFN7 + 125I-UdR group was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0.01). Conclusions The anti-tumor effects in vivo of pcDNAEgr-IFNγ gene therapy combined with 125I-UdR radionuclide therapy are better than those of 125I-UdR therapy.

OBJECTIVETo determine whether B7-2 could improve hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific immunity induced by inoculation of a plasmid encoding HBV preS2+S HBV DNA vaccine.

METHODSB7-2 expression plasmids were inoculated with the DNA vaccine in the gastrocemius muscles. Then the cytolytic T Lymphocyte activity (CTL), the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response and the titers of anti-HBs were analysed.

RESULTSThe DTH response and CTL activity were significantly enhanced when B7-2 expression plasmids were coinoculated with the DNA vaccine (P<0.01), but the titers of anti-HBs were unaffected (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe results suggest that B7-2 expression plasmid could improve HBV specific cell-mediated immunity induced by HBV DNA vaccine, and the gene-based coinoculation strategy using HBV viral antigen and B7-2 costimmulating could be a powerful means of combating HBV infection.

Objective To summarize experience of nursing for thoracic breathing reconstruction in patients after cervical spinal cord in-jury (CSCI). Methods 6 cases accepting thoracic breathing reconstruction in our hospital from March 2013 to June 2014 were reviewed from 1 week before operation to 4 weeks after operation. Results All the patients, aged (41.7 ± 16.2) years, received tracheotomy (6.0 ± 5.8) days after injury because of weakened cough, retention of respiratory secretions and dyspnea;the ventilator was used for (45.3±25.9) days, and they received thoracic breathing reconstruction surgery (84±26.7) days after injury. Their vital capacity was (1085±92) ml before opera-tion and was (1680±283) ml 2 weeks after operation with 55%increment (P<0.01). Only 1 patient underwent a delayed wound healing. No pulmonary infection, urinary tract infections and pressure sore occurred until 4 weeks after operation. Conclusion Enhancement of airway care and prevention of pressure sore are the keys to reduce postoperative complications of thoracic breathing reconstruction.

Objective To investigate the presences of regulatory T cells (Treg) and natural killer T cell (NKT)-like T cells in the peripheral blood of healthy subjects and patients with newly diagnosed cancer. Methods Patients were enrolled into four groups: healthy subjects (Group A), patients without cancer (Group B), patients with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ cancer (Group C), and patients with newly diagnosed stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ cancer (Group D). Flow cytometry was performed to detect the percentage of CD4+ CD25high CD127low cells in CD4+ T lymphocytes (Treg) and the percentage of CD3+ CD56+ cells in CD3+ T lymphocytes (NKT-like). Results The percentage of Treg cells in CD4+T lymphocytes was(6.72 ± 3.16)%, (6.49 ± 2.83)%,(6.80 ± 3.07)%and (7.63 3.47)% in Group A, B, C and D, respectively, with no significant differences among these groups (P>0.05). However, the percentage of CD3+CD56+T cells in CD3+T lymphocytes was (3.13 ± 1.66)%, (2.56 ± 1.27)%,(7.22 ± 2.70)% and (7.72 ± 3.10)% in Group A, B, C and D, respectively, with marked increases in Group C and D compared to those in Group A and B (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with newly diagnosed cancer demonstrated increasing trends in the percentage of peripheral NKT-like cells.
