Objective To explore the reason of incidence of thrombophlebitis in lung cancer patients undergoing peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in order to seek appropriate nursing measures. Methods Reason analysis for incidence of thrombophlebitis in lung cancer patients undergoing peripherally inserted central catheter was carried out from August 2002 to June 2005. Results Blood stasis, vacular endangium injury by repeated puncture and uncorrect tube-sealing technique could cause thrombophlebitis. Conclusions Thrombophlebitis of lung cancer patients after PICC should not be ignored. We should give effect measures to prevent its occurrence.

Objective To study the therapy of clearing away the hemorrhagic and necrotic polyps of maxillary sinus.Methods Twenty-five cases,which were diagnosed as hemorrhagic and necrotic polyps of maxillary sinus were treated by surgery of nasal endoscopy with the use of double electrocoagulate and shave system and the surgery of cutting-off front wall of maxillary sinus.Results There is no complication after 6 ～24 months followup.The cure rate is 100% and the recurrence rate is 0.Conclusion The method has the advantage of clearing away the hemorrhagic and necrotic polyps of maxillary sinus with high cure rate.

The author explained the definition and its scientific value of "cancerous toxin" proposed by Professor Chang-quan Ling, pointing out that it is helpful for better understanding the pathogenic factor and guiding the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In regard to the new definition of "cancerous toxin", the author put forward three key issues which should be solved in the field of integrated Chinese and Western medicine. First, the pathological property of cancerous toxin should be uncovered. Second, the relationship between cancerous toxin and syndrome differentiation or dosage of herbs need be further explored. Last, the cause of cancerous toxin is still unknown.

Objective to reveal the research situation about food safety in China by analysing the articles published from 2000 to 2008. Methods bibliometrics were used to analyze the articles. The cooperation and the distribution of foundations were searched out from CBMdisc ( China scientific journal Database) with "food safety" as keywords. Results 1829 documents and 4,063 authors were identified. The rate of cooperation was 68.05% and the authors came from 32 provinces, autonomous regions and special administrative regions of China. 194 papers were supported by various kinds of fund. Conclusion Research on food safty is developing fast to meet the soring needs in this respect of the society.
