Objective To explore the concordance of nursing grades which are ordered by the nurses and the standards of nursing grade and the inpatients' needs. Methods 120 inpatients were rated using the three methods respectively, which were the nurses' order, the standards of musing grade and Bartbel index, and then compare the concordance of the nursing grades rated by the three. Results Then nurses' order was of well concordance with the standards of nursing grade and Barthel index,and the Kappa value was 0.862,0.611,P<0.01,respectively. Conclusions The nurses' order accords with the standards of nursing grade and the patients' needs, is helpful to develop the clinical work, and should be spreaded and exploited.

0.05).No significant histological and ultrastructural changes were observed in the skin biopsies.Conclusion The long pulsewidth Diode Laser is a safe hair removal technique with good result and without adverse effect on the function of axillary sweat gland excretion.

Objective To evaluate the long-term effects and safety of diode laser in hair removal.Methods A retrospective study was conducted.In this study,350 patients with hypertrichosis were treated by an 800-nm diode laser with a pulse duration of 30 ms for various sessions.Two groups were divided based on the treatment sessions:group A receiving 6(≥4 for axillae)or more treatments,group B less than 6(＜4 for axillae)treatments.Patients were followed up for 8 months to 3 years(mean 22.5 months)by return visit or telephone.Evaluation of efficacy and side effects were performed.Results Follow-up and evaluation were completed in 235 patients,and a total of 375 sites treated.After 2-18 treatments,a total effective rate of 80.53%(302/375)was achieved.Significant higher effective rates were observed in group B compared with group A at all sites 86.84%(33/38)vs 35.00%(7/20)on the lips,68.42%(26/38)vs 30.77%(4/13)on the face and neck,92.00%(46/50)vs 55.56%(5/9)in lower extremities,86.96%(20/23)vs 50.00%(4/5)on the trunk.93.81%(91/97)vs 55.56%(5/9)at the axillae,92.16%(47/51)vs 73.68%(14/19)in the upper extremities(all P＜0.05),Side effects were noted in only 6 cases,including hyperpigmentation,itching,and development of follicular papules,blisters and white hair.Neither hypopigmentation nor scarring was observed.Conclusions Diode laser system is effective and safe for hair removal.The effect varies with lesional sites and treatment sessions.

Objective To valuate the effect of high energy ultrapulse CO2 laser on congenital melanocytic nevi of the orbit. Methods 46 patient with congenital melanocytic nevi of eyelid, 58 le-sions were vaporized with high energy ultrapulse CO2 laser. The area of the largest one was 3.0 cm×6.0 cm, and the smallest one was 0.3 cm×0.3 cm, with average of 1.3 cm×2.0 cm. The depth of the vaporizing reached the layer of lowest skin, even the orbicularis, aponeurosis and conjunctiva of tarsus, till no melanin on the wound in view, tried the best to reserve the normal follicle of eyelash. There was no eschar and bleeding on the wound during the procedure. Followed up lasted for 1 - 56 months, with average 12.9 months. Results 44 of 46 patients were satisfactory to the effect of the laser. The most of scars resulted from the vaporizing with the laser became evenness and smooth (50/58). The edge of eyelid looked normal after the laser. The excellent result was observed in 84.5 % (49/58) lesions, good in 10.3 % (6/58), and improved in 5.2 % (3/58). The overall effect was 94.8 % (55/58). And eyelashes were getting growth. Conclusion The treatment of con-genital melanocytic nevus of eyelid with high energy ultrapulse CO2 is a good method. But to be careful in selecting the lesions that may not he too large.

Objective:To investigate the current status of clinical teaching towards postgraduates of master of nursing specialist(MNS) in China.Methods:Objective sampling was used to invest 390 MNS clinical nursing teachers in 36 hospitals across the country. The survey included the admission and evaluation criteria of teachers, the MNS postgraduates′ clinical teaching plan and implementation, and the assessment of MNS postgraduate ′s clinical practice ability, etc. Results:Among the criteria for clinical teachers for MNS postgraduates, 79.49% of departments required bachelor ′s degree or above, and 67.18% of departments requested medium-grade professional title or above; 47.44% of the departments demanded that clinical teachers had the research experience, 58.21% departments asked for the experience of articles publication. The main method of selecting clinical teaching teachers was examination (50%), while 31.28% departments had no definite criteria. The evaluation indicators of clinical teachers mainly depended on the results of students ′ clinical practice capability assessment (81.79%) and students ′ satisfaction (80%). Only 49.23% of the study objects knew the training objectives of MNS. The pivotal abilities of MNS graduate students were the ability of clinical nursing practice (91.79%) and clinical research (82.82%). The MNS postgraduate teaching plan of each department was mainly derived from the requirements of tutors and colleges (87.69%). The mode of clinical teaching was that one student was guided by a fixed clinical teacher (87.18%). Clinical practice assessment methods of MNS mainly included theoretical knowledge assessment (88.46%) and the performance of section lectures (82.56%). The assessment personnel were mainly clinical teachers (95.40%) and head nurses (83.51%). The self-assessment of clinical teachers was rated at the medium level about their performance on the postgraduate MNS students ′ clinical teaching. Conclusions:The homogenization and standardization of the construction of MNS clinical teaching base needs to be improved in China. In the field of defining the criteria of clinical teaching teachers, strengthening the construction of clinical faculty, perfecting the clinical teaching plan and evaluation system according to the cultivation objectives and specialist characteristics, and elevating the comprehensive medical education combined with clinical education and college education, further exploration is indispensable.

Bone formation and deposition are initiated by sensory nerve infiltration in adaptive bone remodeling. Here, we focused on the role of Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), expressed by sensory nerves, in mechanical loads-induced bone formation and nerve withdrawal using orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model. Firstly, bone formation was activated after the 3rd day of OTM, coinciding with a decrease in sensory nerves and an increase in pain threshold. Sema3A, rather than nerve growth factor (NGF), highly expressed in both trigeminal ganglion and the axons of periodontal ligament following the 3rd day of OTM. Moreover, in vitro mechanical loads upregulated Sema3A in neurons instead of in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) within 24 hours. Furthermore, exogenous Sema3A restored the suppressed alveolar bone formation and the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs induced by mechanical overload. Mechanistically, Sema3A prevented overstretching of F-actin induced by mechanical overload through ROCK2 pathway, maintaining mitochondrial dynamics as mitochondrial fusion. Therefore, Sema3A exhibits dual therapeutic effects in mechanical loads-induced bone formation, both as a pain-sensitive analgesic and a positive regulator for bone formation.
