Objective To study the effect of restraint and watered stress of different durations on the gastric empting in rats. Methods 48 male SD rats (weight ±150 g) were divided randomly into 6 groups with 8 in each. The experimental rats were restrained and watered in 23℃ water box for 1 h/d, while the controls were free. The body weight, general conditions and behavioral indexes of the rats were observed and recorded. The gastric empting rate was measured in rats with semi-solid diet after 3 d,7 d and 28 d during the statistically significant differences among different groups of different stress groups,and between the 3 d test group and 3 d control group. The gastric empting rate was higer in the 7-day test than in 7 d controlled group, lower in the 28 d test group than 28 d control group. Conclusion Different chronic stress can cause changes of gastric empting rate. With the prolonging of stress time, the empting rate is rising and then decending.

Objective To study the similarities and differences of information needs between cancer patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, analyze the causes for cancer patients' different choices, and provide reasonable and disease-related information for cancer patients. Methods A total of 102 and 119 cancer patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy relatively were asked to complete the questionnaire (IPQCP+2) and two questions about the total information capacity and content requirements. Results Two groups had different needs of therapeutic information and treatment in IPQCP. Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy needed more widely-ranged information than patients underwent radio-therapy. Conclusions Most of cancer patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy need to be informed of disease-related information, among which the content of therapeutic information and total information is relative to the treatment. Nurses should provide disease-related medical information based on their different needs, as to improve the life quality of cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: We have paid more attention on the effects of growth factors on tendon healing and adhesion formation, especially on the correlation of transforming growth factor with tissue adhesion and scar formation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 mRNA in the zone Ⅱ flexor tendon of wound-healing rabbit models. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study. SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University. MATERIALS: Sixty clean adult New Zealand white rabbits weighting 4.0-4.5 kg, of either sex, were provided by Qingdao Animal Experimental Center. Left forelimbs of each animal were as experimental side, and right forelimbs of each animal were as control. There were 6 time points, namely at days 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56, 10 rabbits in each time point. Of the 10 rabbits, 6 rabbits received the in situ hybridization and 4 rabbits received the immunohistochemical staining. Animal intervention met the animal ethical standard. METHODS: Experiments were performed at the Animal Experimental Center of Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Qingdao University from September 2005 to July 2006. After anesthesia, each rabbit underwent complete transection of the profundus middle flexor tendon in zone Ⅱ, and then the tendon was repaired by the Kessler method. Rabbits in the control group did not receive any intervention. Rabbits were anesthetized and killed 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days after the surgery. Skin was incised along the original incision at the experimental sides to obtain tendons and tendon sheaths. The same measurements were performed in the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Tenocytes and tendon sheath cells were detected with the in situ hybridization and the immunohistochemical staining to observe the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1. RESULTS: Sixty rabbits were involved in the result analysis. ①The in situ hybridization results: Expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 mRNA was increased at day 1 after tendon injury in the experimental group, reached a peak at days 14-21 after tendon injury, reduced at day 28 and was still in a high level at day 56. Expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 mRNA was high in tendon sheath cells around the repaired region. At the same time point, the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 mRNA was higher in tendon sheath cells than in tenocytes. Low expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 mRNA was found in tenocytes and tendon sheath cells in the control group. The expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 mRNA in tenocytes and tendon sheath cells was higher in the experimental group than in the control group at each time point (P ＜ 0.05). ②Immunohistochemical staining results: Expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 protein was elevated at day 1 after the surgery, reached the peak at days 14-21 and was still in a high level at day 56 in the experimental group. Low expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 protein was seen in the control group. CONCLUSION: The normal uninjured tenocytes and tendon sheath cells produce transforming growth factor beta-1. The cytokine is activated in the injured tendon. The increase of this cytokine in both tenocytes and tendon sheath fibroblasts are coincidence with both extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms for tendon repair.

Objective To observe the effect of parecoxib united with local anaesthesia analgesia system on analgesia after radical resection of liver cancer. Methods Ninety patients undergoing elective radical resection of liver cancer were randomly assigned to three groups, with 30 patients in each group. The patients in parecoxib group (P group) received parecoxib 40 mg through vein before the end of operation for 30 min, and were injected parecoxib 40 mg at 12 h, 24 h and 46 h after operation. The patients in local anethsia analgesia system group (L group) received embedding hypodermic pervasion canal in incision subcutaneously, then connected the pump with 0.25% ropivacaine 250 ml, with infusion speed of 4 ml/h.The patients in united group(U group)receiced the same methods with those in P group and L group. When the patients'visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were higher than 5 scores, they were given muscle injection of pethidine 50 mg. The VAS scores and Ramsay sedation scores at the time of tracheal extubation (T0), postoperative 2 h(T1), 6 h(T2), 12 h(T3), 24 h(T4) and 48 h(T5), the adverse reaction rate, dosage of pethidine, and analgesia satisfaction were compared. Results The resting and movement of VAS scores and Ramsay sedation scores at each time in P group and L group had no significant difference (P>0.05). The resting and movement of VAS scores and Ramsay sedation scores at each time in U group were significantly better than those in P group and L group (P<0.05). The rate of nausea and vomiting in three groups had no significant difference among three groups (P > 0.05). The rate of drowsiness in U group was significantly lower than that in P group and L group:6.67%(2/30) vs. 26.67%(8/30) and 23.33%(7/30), P < 0.05. The analgesia satisfaction in U group was significantly higher than that in P group and L group:93.33%(28/30) vs. 56.67%(17/30) and 53.33%(16/30), P<0.05. Conclusions The analgesia effect of the parecoxib united with local anaesthesia analgesia system for radical resection of liver cancer is perfect.
