Objective:To test the reliability of BMDC-NPTB-CR. Method: 182 elderlies were tested with the BMDC-NPTB-CR. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the scale were calculated. Result:70% of the items in BMDC-NPTB-CR were moderate in difficulty. The correlation between total score and subscores were in 0.50～0.88(P

Objective To explore the current situation and the relationship of job satisfaction,job performance and career plateau in senior health technical personnel.Methods The career plateau questionnaire,job satisfaction scale,job performance scale were adopted to carry out the questionnaire survey among 410 senior health technical personnel in Wanzhou district of Chongqing.The results underwent statistical description,correlation analysis and regression analysis.Results Senior health technical personnel's career plateau score was 2～5 points,with an average of (3.26±0.58) points,job satisfaction score was 20～60 points,with an average of (44.81±11.46) points,job performance score was 20～75 points,with an average of (35.79 ± 9.55) points.The score of career plateau was significantly negatively correlated with job satisfaction,and was significantly negatively correlated with job performance.The content of plateau was a factor affecting job satisfaction,and the content and the level of plateau were influencing factors of job performance.Conclusions Career plateau in senior health technical personnel was in a moderate level,while job satisfaction and job performance were relatively low.Hospital managers should take in occupation development assistance strategy and reduce negative influence of career plateau to improve job satisfaction and job performance in senior health technical personnel.

We present an extremely rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum in a 24-year old woman who went to consultation because of right nasal neoplasm. The radiologic discoveries by computerized tomography showed a tumor in the right nasal septum. Incisional biopsy was done, with a histopathological report of pleomorphic adenoma. Later, nasal endoscopy was used to remove the neoplasm and histology revealed pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum.

Readiness for hospital discharge is an important measure to ensure the safety of patient discharge. Evaluating the readiness for hospital discharge can help medical staff to avoid premature discharge of patients and to reduce the incidence of complications and readmission rate. This paper reviews the concept, content and tools of assessment, and the research interests and fields of discharge readiness, so as to provide help and support for further research.

Objective To explore the effects of extension nursing on quality of life in cervical cancer patients after radiotherapy. Methods A total of 80 hospitalization patients from January 2013 to January 2015 was selected to join the QQL-BREF test. These 80 patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group, who all accepted regular health education, and the experimental group also accepted nursing once a month after discharge. The quality of life of patients in the two groups were assessed one year later. Results For the domain of physiological field, psychological field, independence, social, environmental, faith, the experimental group scored 3.73 ± 0.33, 3.66 ± 0.44, 3.67 ± 0.05, 3.48 ± 0.59, 3.73 ± 0.58, while the control group scored 1.68 ± 0.40, 2.39 ± 0.43, 1.76 ± 0.39, 2.10 ± 0.51, 3.02 ± 0.45 (t=1.26-21.15, P < 0.05). There were 5 factors, expect faith factor, which conformed to statistical principle (P<0.05). In 24 factors, 7 elements including human characteristic, security, income, skills and personal religion were not related to the statistical principle (P>0.05), Other 17 elements showed statistical difference (t=2.45-17.31, P < 0.01). Conclusions Extension nursing can improve cervical cancer patients′quality of life efficiently after radiotherapy and reduce the recurrence rate.

OBJECTIVETo observe the intervention effects of electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) on rats with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide experiment references for acupuncture to treat T2DM.

METHODSAmong seventy male Wistar clean-grade rats, 8 rats were randomly selected into a control group; the rest rats were made T2DM model. Fifty-two rats which were successfully made T2DM model, according to randomized block method, were divided into a model group (10 rats), a medication group (10 rats), an electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" (BL 23) group (11 rats), an electroacupuncture at "Pishu" (BL 20) group (10 rats) and an electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group (11 rats). Seven days after successful establishment of model, the rats in the model group were fixed in the self-made rat bag without receiving any treatment; the rats in the medication group, according to body mass (10 mL/kg), were treated with intragastric administration of glimepiride; the rats in all the electroacupuncture groups were treated with electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" (BL 23), "Pishu" (BL 20) and "Yishu" (EX-B 3), respectively. The continuous wave was selected with a frequency of 15 Hz and a current intensity of 4 to 6 mA. The treatment was given 20 min per treatment, once a day, 5 treatments per week for continuous 4 weeks. Before the establishment of model and continuous 4 weeks after the intervention, blood samples were collected from rats' caudal vein, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured with FBG device each week. After the last intervention, the rats were killed and hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal gland were collected. The colorimetric method was applied to measure the contents of triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C); radioimmunoassay was used to test the contents of glycated serum protein (GSP), fasting insulin (FINS), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortin (CORT).

RESULTSFour weeks after the intervention, except that the rat's body mass in the normal group continued to increase, body mass in the model group, medication group and each electroacupuncture group were significantly reduced (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the FBG in the electroacupuncture at "Pishu" (BL 20) group and electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group were obviously reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01); FBG in the electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group was lower than that in the medication group and electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" (BL 23) group (both P<0.05). The contents of TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in the electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group were reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), the content of TG was significantly lower than that in the medication group and electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" (BL 23) group (both P<0.05), the content of LDL-C was significantly lower than that in electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" (BL 23) group (P<0.05). Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) in the medication group, electroacupuncture at "Pishu" (BL 20) group and electroacupuncture at "Yishu (EX-B 3)" group were evidently increased (P<0.05, P<0.01); ISI in the medication group was lower than that in the electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group (P<0.05). The content of CRH in the electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group was lower than that in the medication group and electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" (BL 23) group (P<0.05, P<0.01); the content of CORT in the electroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) group was lower than that in the medication group and electroacupuncture at "Pishu" (BL 20) group (both P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONElectroacupuncture at "Yishu" (EX-B 3) could reduce the level of CORT to improve the insulin resistance in rats with T2DM, improve insulin sensitivity index, regulate blood lipid metabolism and relieve the hyperactivity of the HPA axis.

A retrospective study was carried out to analyze 3 cases of renal echinococcosis confirmed by surgery and pathology in the hospital during 1999-2008.The patients were examined by 64-CT plain scan and multiple period enhancement scan.Among them,2 were multi-daughter-cyst hydatid disease,and 1 appeared as solitary one.Two cases were once misdiagnosed as renal cyst and renal hamartoma,and the other was diagnosed correctly before operation.CT signscanning combined with epidemiological information can make an accurate diagnosis for renal echinococcosis.
