Objective To investigate the morbidity and influencing infactors of plantar fasciitis in nurses. Methods The clinical nursing staff of 829 people were included in this series. 71 people of them conform to the standard of plantar fasciitis. According to the proportion of 1:1, 71 nurses without plantar fasciitis were included in the control group. The thickness and hardness index of the plantar fascia were detected by ultrasound elasticity. The survey contents including age, the average working hours every day (h), the average standing time in working day (h), body weight, body mass index (BMI), number of night shift, average walking time every day (min) and the average weekly running time (hour) were conducted. The single factor and multi-factor regression method were used to analyze the influence factors of the onset of plantar fascia. Results 71 cases of 829 nurses were with plantar fasciitis, and the incidence was 8.56%. The thickness in observation group was (3.86±0.53) mm, which was significantly smaller than (2.67±0.39) mm of the control group (P<0.05). Hardness index was 2.01±0.23, lower than 3.83±0.70 in control group (t=14.09, P<0.05). Single factor analysis results showed that the average standing time in working day, weight, BMI, average walking time every day, the average weekly running time were different between the two groups (P<0.05). The regression equation: the plantar fascia hardness index =-25.34 + 4.78 × the average standing time in working day + 3.45 × weight + 1.22 × BMI. The equation of the ability to explain the plantar fascia hardness index reached 72.2%, and had a good effectiveness. Conclusions Body weight and BMI, prolonged standing work may induce the nurse plantar fasciitis, and they are independent risk factors.

The terahertz laboratory medicine (THz-LabMed) is an intergrated cross-frontier field which involves multi-disciplinary including medicine,biology,biomedical engineering,physics,optics,computer science,information and materials.Using THz technologies for label-free detection and analysis of biomedical macromolecules,cell and tissues,the THz-LabMed is also the core components of terahertz biomedine (THz-BioMed) which focuses on the biomedical application of THz technologies.THz label-free detection is being paid more and more attention because of its unique advantages worldwide and becomes a hot spot for the application of THz wave technology and methods in life science.Application of THz technology in biomedicine involves many fields globally,including disease diagnosis,recognition of protein status,label-free DNA sequencing,mechanism for absorption differences of biological tissue to THz wave,and radiation influence on biological samples and biological process.THz-LabMed is the global synchronized research in THz-BioMed field in China.It is important to seize the opportunities to develop new disciplines of laboratory medicine.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of hysteroscopy in the treatment of endogenous type cesarean section scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods Clinical data of 58 cases of CSP from August 2012 to February 2014 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Thirty-one cases were treated by hysteroscopy,while 27 cases were treated by laparoscopy.The intraoperative blood loss,operation time,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative drainage of uterine cavity,β-hCG level resolution time and time to menstruous restoration were compared between the two groups. Results The intraoperative blood loss,operation time,length of hospitalization after operation,and time to menstruous restoration were statistically lower in the hysteroscopy group than those in the laparoscopy group [(109 ±59)ml vs.(143 ±63)ml,t =-2.121 ,P =0.038;(43.7 ±17.5)min vs.(100.8 ±18.8)min,t =-1 1 .974,P =0.000;(3.8 ±0.7)d vs.(4.5 ±0.6)d,t =-4.057,P =0.000;(43.8 ±3.9)d vs.(45.9 ±3.8)d,t =-2.070,P =0.043].There were no significant differences in postoperative drainage of uterine cavity and β-hCG level resolution time between the two groups [(22.1 ±2.8)ml vs.(23.6 ±3.2)ml,t =-1 .904,P =0.062;(20.5 ±7.7)d vs.(22.9 ±9.3)d,t =-1 .075,P =0.287]. Conclusion Hysteroscopy has advantages of less intraoperative blood loss,shorter hospitalization time and quicker recovery in the treatment of endogenous type CSP.

Mutated K-RAS is found in 15%～30% NSCLC patients, the mutations of K-RAS and EGFR are mutually exclusive,K-RAS mutations have poor sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs. The response of C-225 is not restricted to mutated K-RAS, NSCLC patients with K-RAS mutations are associated with unfavorable prognosis. A number of different approaches such as Ftase inhibitors, RAF inhibitors, MEK inhibitors aimed at abrogating K-RAS activity to improve clinical response have been explored in clinical trials.

Desmoid tumor also known as aggressive fibromatosis,are rare fibroblastic tumors which are derived from deep fascia planes or muscuofascia structures.Resectable extra-abdominal and abdominal desmoid tumor should always be treated with the aim of achieving a negative margin through wide radical resection with margins above 2 cm.Ifthis is not feasible,function-sparing surgical resection is suggested.Adjuvant radiation should be considered for patients with positive margins,recirrent tumors or unresectable diseases.Intra-abdominal desmoid tumor is common in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.It has a high recurring rate after surgical resection and therefore a high dosage of tamoxifen and sulindac are recommended as first-line treatment.Due to the variable nature of the outcome and vague reaction to drug therapy,individualized treatments,including the wait and see policy,has been widely investigated and thought to be a promising strategy for the future.
