The authors analyzed the opportunities and challenges faced by nurses in the time of elderly care with medical support using SWOT analysis, for the purpose of suggestions for the development of nurses to cope with such new scenario. Advantages of the nurses in such a time are as follows: professional nursing care, holistic care ability, and standardized assessment skill. Their disadvantages include: poor team leadership, insufficient business and management skills, and poor motivation for personal development. Their opportunities include: guidance of the national strategy, innovation of " Internet plus", and flexible working hours. Their challenges include: room of improvements for both quantity and quality of nursing personnel, better efficiency for integration and allocation of resources, and better capability to leverage" Smart elderly care". Four suggestions are raised in this regard, i. e., to strengthen the ability for elderly care with medical support, to improve multidisciplinary coordination, to cultivate their entrepreneurship, and to improving the ability of information application.

Strengthening the supervision over the use of large-scale medical equipment is an effective means to improve the efficiency of equipment use and the quality of medical services, and it is an important part of promoting the construction of the Healthy China and the development of health undertakings. Through four stages of preliminary demand investigation, intelligent collection of data, intelligent analysis and evaluation, and continuous improvement, a large-scale medical equipment intelligent management platform was built in our hospital. Real-time data collection, interconnection, analysis and evaluation were achieved, which could help the use and supervision, improve efficiency and effectiveness, and optimize the evaluation system.

Objective:To investigate the expression changes of Hedgehog related factors (Ihh, Shh and Smo) in bone of rats with chronic fluorosis, and the significance.Methods:Thirty-six healthy SD rats were divided to three groups with the method of random digits table by body weight (100 - 120 g), 12 rats in each group, half male and half female. The rats of control were fed with tap water (NaF < 1 mg/L), and the experimental rats were exposed to NaF (low dose fluoride group: 5 mg/L, high dose fluoride group: 50 mg/L) added to the drinking water to establish the chronic fluorosis model. After the rats were raised for six months, 24-hour urine samples were collected and the femoral metaphysis of the rats was taken. Urine fluoride and bone fluoride were detected by fluorin ion selective electrode method. Bone tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and observed under light microscope. The content of bone alkalinephosphatase (BALP) in rats' serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of Ihh, Shh and Smo mRNA and protein in bone were detected by Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC).Results:The contents of urine fluoride, bone fluoride and serum BALP were increased gradually in the control, low and high doses fluoride groups [urine fluoride: (1.37 ± 0.44), (5.96 ± 0.56), (7.60 ± 0.61) mg/L; bone fluoride: (306.04 ± 12.58), (652.91 ± 51.83), (1 094.11 ± 126.34) mg/kg; BALP: (27.78 ± 4.09), (46.59 ± 5.75), (57.45 ± 3.99) U/L, P < 0.05]. It could observed that bone sclerosis by light microscope in low and high doses fluoride groups. The expressions of Ihh, Shh and Smo mRNA in high dose fluoride group (1.39 ± 0.36, 0.56 ± 0.23, 0.40 ± 0.15) were higher than those of the control and low dose fluoride groups (0.73 ± 0.19, 0.92 ± 0.34; 0.19 ± 0.04, 0.36 ± 0.16; 0.14 ± 0.04, 0.24 ± 0.13; P < 0.05). The expression of Shh mRNA in low dose fluoride group was higher than that of the control group ( P < 0.05). The expressions of Ihh and Smo protein in high dose fluoride group (138.89 ± 3.72, 149.29 ± 7.63) were higher than those of the control and the low dose fluoride groups (127.39 ± 2.69, 134.81 ± 3.53; 129.64 ± 12.62, 139.07 ± 9.30), and the low dose fluoride group were higher than those of the control group ( P < 0.05). The expression of Shh protein in high dose fluoride group (141.26 ± 7.49) was higher than that of the control group (130.96 ± 11.10, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The expression of Hedgehog signaling pathway related factors in bone of rats with chronic fluorosis is changed, which indicates that bone formation can be affected by activation of Hedgehog signaling pathway induced by fluoride.

Objective: To investigate the change and association of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (Gli1) and β-catenin on bone formation in rats with chronic fluorosis which were inhibited by cyclopamine (Cycl). Methods: Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were evenly divided to four groups, including control, F, F+Cycl and F+DMSO groups. The control group were fed with tap water (NaF<1 ppm). The F, F+Cycl and F+DMSO groups were exposed to NaF (50 ppm) in drinking water as the chronic fluorosis model. Then the rats in F+Cycl or F+DMSO groups were injected by Cycl or DMSO after 6 months, respectively. Urine fluoride concentration was detected using fluorine ion selective electrode. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP). Bone tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The mRNA and protein expression of Gli1 and β-catenin in bone tissue were detected using real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results: Compared with the controls, the urine fluoride concentration and the width and volume of bone trabeculae were increased in the F, F+Cycl and F+DMSO groups, but no statistical difference among the 3 fluorosis groups. The concentration of BALP was increased in the F group and decreased in F+Cycl group (P<0.05). The expression of Gli1 and β-catenin mRNA and protein was higher in the F and F+Cycl groups than controls, but lower in the F+Cycl group than in the F group. There was positive correlation between the expression of Gli1 and β-catenin (r=0.476, P<0.05). The expression of Gli1 and β-catenin was also associated with BALP concentration and volume of bone trabeculae, respectively (r₁=0.457, r₂=0.466, r₃=0.581, r₄=0.554, respectively, P<0.05 for all). Conclusions The expression of Gli1 can be inhibited by Cycl. It may be involved in the bone formation of rats with chronic fluorosis. It may also affect the expression of β-catenin, which is an osteogenesis factor.
