Objective To identify the relationship between patients' trust and their health outcomes and verify the mediator role played by patients' behavioral intention in affecting the health outcomes.MethodsThe 24-item patients' trust evaluation scale customized based on QOC improvement was called into play to measure the extent of trust of 727 inpatients at two tertiary hospitals and 20community hospitals in Shanghai.The patients' behavioral intention scale,life quality scale and patients'clinical effect general scale helped reveal the patients' behavior tendency on their health.RestltsIt is found that patients' trust affects their health outcomes.Furthermore,such trust plays partial mediator role on patients' life quality,and a complete mediator role in affecting the clinical effect.Conclusion Improvement of patients' behavior can result in better health outcomes.For doctors,better trust from the patients can affect patients' behavioral intention,encourage doctor-patient communication and therapy plans for better health outcomes in the end.

Prostate cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the urinary system and mostly found in elderly men. Like most tumors, prostate cancer involves a variety of molecules in its occurrence and progression. More studies on the development of prostate cancer focus on the tumor markers, DNA damage repair related genes, and tumor invasion and metastasis related factors. This article presents an overview on the research progress in these three aspects.

Objective To analyze clinical and pathologic features of a rare vascular amyloid deposits of amyloid nephropathy ( VADAN) in 6 patients, so as to improve its diagnosis and treatment. Methods All patients received immunopathology, microscopy and electron microscopy examination, and amyloid types were analyzed. Results There were 3 males and 3 females with ages ranging from 52 to 73 years. Two patients suffered from multiple myeloma. Majority patients had slight albuminuria and hematuria. One patient combined with minimal change glomerular disease presented nephrotic syndrome. One patient combined with IgA nephropathy had albuminuria and hematuria. And one patient had myeloma cast nephropathy with acute renal failure. Kidney biopsy proved amyloid deposits along interlobular arterial wall only in all 6 patients. Two cases secondary from multiple myeloma were κ amyloid, and the rests were λ amyloid. Conclusions VADAN is a rare type of amyloid nephropathy. Its clinical manifestation is different from common amyloid nephropathy. Kidney biopsy will benefit its differential diagnosis.

Epilepsy is a common nervous system seizure disease in children,20%-30% of them is intractable epilepsy.The pathogenesis of intractable epilepsy in children is not yet identify.Some research think that this may be associated with resistance of a variety of diffe-rent mechanisms of antiepileptic drug and abnormalities of multidrug resistance gene expression.The most investigation of multidrug transpor-ter is P-glycoprotein,multidrug resistance-associated protein.They are present in cell membrane and belong to adenosine triphosphate-dependent membrane transport protein.Studies have showed that over-expression of multidrug transporter in temporal lobe brain tissue of patients with refractory epilepsy and animal model of chronic epilepsy reduce the concentration of therapeutic drug in cells.They result in resis-tance by releasing the energy and transferring large amounts of anti-epileptic drugs to exterior of brain capillary endothelial cells in way of active transport.The relationship between multidrug transporter′s structure,distribution,functions and drug-resistant epilepsy are reviewed.

Objective To study the value of endoscopic management of thyroid disease through periareola approach. Methods From Nov. 2008 to Feb. 2010, 20 cases were treated by endoscopic throidectomy using bilateral areola three-hole method. The chest skin and platysma were separated and CO2 (6 - 8mmHg pressure)was inflowed to establish the operative space. Thyroid tissues were cut and separated by harmonic scaple. Recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior laryngeal nerve and parathyroid gland were preserved. Results Operations were successfully completed using endoscope, among which there were 1 case of thyroid cyst resection, 5 cases of thyroid adenoma resection, 8 cases of thyroid unilateral partial resection, 3 cases of thyroid bilateral partial resection and 3 cases of thyroid sub-total resection. The average operation time was (100. 0 ± 30. 5) min. Blood loss was (70. 0 ± 15. 0) ml. 1 case of neck skin burns and 3 cases of subcutaneous hydrops appeared. No convertion occured. Conclusion Endoscopic thyroidectomy through periareolar approach is a safe minimal invasive surgical procedure with excellent cosmetic results.

Objective To study the effect of fast tract surgery (FTS) used in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods For the experimental group, 341 inpatients with TKA in the Joint Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from June 2014 to June 2015 were treated with FTS nursing measures. For the control group, 355 inpatients with TKA of the same department from January 2013 to May 2014 were treated with conventional nursing measures. The effects of FTS nursing measures, the parameters of patients′ postoperative complications, average hospitalization days and the function recovery of knee joint were evaluated respectively. Results After implementing the FTS nursing measures , the incidence of deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs reduced from 8.45%(30/355) to 2.35%(8/341) (χ2=2.340, P<0.05). The average hospitalization days treated without/with FTS nursing measures were:unilateral knee (14.49±3.62) days (without FTS) vs. (11.95±4.53) days (with FTS), bilateral knees (15.80± 3.01) days (without FTS) vs. (13.19±4.08) days (with FTS)(t=3.166, P<0.05). Two weeks after surgery, the HSS scores in the experimental group was 65.72 ± 5.54, while the HSS scores in the control group was 52.43 ± 7.32 (t=2.452, P < 0.05). Three months after surgery, the HSS scores in the experimental group was 88.72 ± 7.10, while the HSS scores in the control group was 72.14 ± 8.73 (t=2.528, P < 0.05). Conclusions FTS nursing measures could significantly reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, shorten the hospitalization days of inpatients, and promote the functional recovery of knees.

Objective The current study was to investigate the clinical and pathological features of macroscopic hematuria associated acute kideny injury (MH-AKI) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and its associated prognostic factors.Methods We performed an analysis on the clinical and pathological features of biopsy-proven IgAN patients diagnosed during 2004 to August of 2007,who had experienced MH associated AKI.The patients enrolled in the study were followed up.The renal lesions were evaluated with Katafuchi pathological scores of IgAN.Results 5 patients with IgAN had experienced at least one episode of MH-AKI,accounting for 1.3% of IgAN diagnosed during the same period and 13.5% of IgAN patients with macroscopic hematuria.High proportion of tubules filled with red blood cell casts and tubular injury were demonstrated in all biopsy specimens.Renal function of 3 patients completely recovered within 14 days.One patient (patient 4) got quick recovery in the first month of the disease but completely recovered 418 days later.The other patients only had an incomplete recovery during the 20-month follow-up.The incompletely recovered one had relatively an older age,longer persistence of MH,more sclerotic glomeruli and a more severe tubule-interstitial damage.Conclusion AKI is commonly seen during episodes of MH in patients with IgAN.Not all patients with MH-AKI showed a complete recovery.Age,duration of MH,proportion of glomerular sclerosis and the severity of tubular necrosis might be the risk factors of an incomplete recovery of renal function.
