Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(11):31-34
Objective To assess stress degree of osteosarcoma caregivers and explore the impact factors of stress response. Methods We used CRA scale to investigate stress state of the primary caregivers of osteosarcoma patients, the demographic characteristics, status of patients, the objective amount of care and scores for each latitude underwent multiple regression analysis. Results The pressure of caregivers from the city was relatively light, annual income more than 50 thousand yuan and with help from the families to take care patients could effectively alleviate the pressure. The caregivers came from rural areas, household income less than 20 thousand yuan, caregivers were the patients' parents, had their own job presently, with no one to help were high - pressure groups. Conclusions Caregivers of osteosarcoma patients with high-pressure need focused intervention, more help and support should be given to these population.

Objective To explore the protective effect of liraglutide ( Li) on the proximal tubular cells ( PTECs) of rats induced by model control. Methods The PTECs of rats were obtained by primary culture and divided into normal control group ( NC) , model control group ( HG) , HG+low-dose Li group, HG+medium-dose Li group, and HG+high-dose Li group ( n-6 in each group) . After 72 h of incubation, the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase in PTECs was measured by the liquid scintillation counter. Protein expression of Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4 ) was measured by Western blotting. Interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in culture supernatants were measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Compared with NC, activity of Na+/K+-ATPase [(2 737. 88±317. 22)μmol·g-1 ·h-1 ] and the protein expression of TLR4 in PTECs, IL-6, TNF-α and PAI-1 in culture supernatants were significantly increased in HG (P<0. 05, or P<0. 01). Compared with HG, activity of Na+/ K+-ATPase and the protein expression of TLR4 in cells, IL-6, TNF-αand PAI-1 in culture supernatants reduced significantly in HG+medium-or high dose Li groups (P<0. 05, or P<0. 01). Conclusion Liraglutide can inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines and stabilize the Na+/ K+-ATPase’ s activity in PTECs in high glucose environment. Therefore, it may play a role in kidney protection.
