Objective:To explore the effectiveness of humanism concept in the management of patients with spi-nal cord injury care.Methods:Choose between January 2011 and February 2011 hospitalized in our hospital 112 cases of spinal cord injury patients, randomly divided into control group and observation group ( 56 cases) , com-pared two groups of nursing effect.Control group routine nursing management, observation group will humanistic nursing management idea runs through in the routine nursing management.Results:Aware of knowledge about health education group is significantly higher than the control group, patients satisfaction survey in nursing, be-tween the two groups statistically significant depression levels lower than the control group.Conclusions:In the nursing management of patients with spinal cord injury in the application of humanistic nursing concept effect is good, not only improve the effect of the nursing, and obviously improve the patient′s satisfaction, promote the pa-tient′s psychological adaptability.

Objective:To investigate the mastery and application of medical ethics basic knowledge in geriatric ward medical staffs,and the way which they receive relevant education. Methods:From November 2016 to January 2017,240 questionnaires about medical ethics were distributed among medical staffs in clinical department in the Chinese PLA General Hospital,among them,30 were medical groups and 210 were nursing groups;and a total of 233 valid questionnaires were collected. The nurses were divided into geriatric ward nursing group and non - geriat-ric ward nursing group,according to whether they work in the geriatric wards or not. Results:Only 2. 14% and 7. 72% participants fully and correctly answered the core concepts and basic principles of medical ethics,respec-tively. The rate of informed consent in medical staffs in geriatric group was significantly higher than that of non -geriatric group (92. 66% vs 82. 11% ,P = 0. 02);the patient' s privacy protection in geriatric nursing group was significantly higher than that of non - geriatric nursing group (92. 66% vs 31. 57% ,P < 0. 001). 28. 75% of the respondents received medical ethics continuing education curriculum,and the proportion of correctly receiving ex-pectable death in these medical staffs (71. 40% ) was significantly higher than that of other education pathway groups (36. 17% ). Conclusion:Medical staffs lack more knowledge on medical ethics. Clinical work in geriatric medicine has higher demand for medical ethics knowledge,and continuing medical education can help to improve the cognitive level of medical ethics in medical staffs.

Objective To examine the effects of gross tumor volume (GTV) and radiation dose on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with whole body gamma knife.Methods The clinical data of 69 HCC patients who underwent body gamma knife treatment from January 2012 to June 2015 in the Radiotherapy Center of the PLA General Hospital were retrospectively reviewed.Based on a 50% or 60% isodose coverage of the planning target volume (PTV), patients were treated with a radiation dose of 4-5 Gy per fraction, and a total marginal dose of 36-50 Gy (median dose 45 Gy).Short-term efficacy, overall survival (OS), and the adverse effect of the treatment were evaluated.The optimal cut-off tumor volume was identified using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and survival was determined by the Kaplan-Meier method.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression model, respectively.Results The overall short-term response rate of the 69 patients was 67%.The 1-and 2-year OS rates were 62% and 40%, respectively, with a median survival of 18.6 months.The multivariate analysis showed that gross tumor volume (GTV)<93 cm3(P=0.013) and short-term efficacy of radiotherapy (P=0.000) were significant independent prognostic factors for survival.When GTV was<93 cm3, prognosis was significantly better in patients treated with a dose of ≥45 Gy than in those with<45 Gy (P=0.019).In contrast, radiation dose had no significant effect on survival among patients with GTV>93 cm3(P=0.665).Conclusions GTV is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival of HCC patients.Although high-dose radiotherapy provides survival benefits to patients with small GTV, it is not necessarily suitable for patients with large GTV.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Danshen injection (DAN) on platelet (PLT)-induced metastasis of breast cancer cells in vitro. MethodThe 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to observe the effect of DAN on the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. Oris™ migration assay was used to determine the effect of DAN (final mass concentrations 4, 8, 16 g·L-1) on PLT (1.5×1010 cells/L)-induced migration of breast cancer cells in vitro. The effect of DAN on PLT-induced cell invasion was detected by Transwell assay. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the effect of DAN on the protein expression associated with PLT-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In addition, enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the effect of DAN (final mass concentrations 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 g·L-1) on the secretion of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Western blot was used to observe the effect of DAN on the expression of podoplanin (PDPN) protein in MDA-MB-231 cells induced by PLT. ResultCompared with the blank group, the DAN groups (32 and 64 g·L-1) showed decreased A570 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and there was no significant difference in A570 between DAN groups (4, 8, 16 g·L-1). Compared with the blank group, the PLT group showed increased cell migration and invasion, while DAN groups significantly inhibited PLT-induced cell migration and invasion. Compared with the blank group, the PLT group showed decreased expression of E-cadherin, while DAN could significantly reverse this effect of PLT. Compared with the blank group, the PLT group showed increased Slug and Snail protein expression (P<0.05, P<0.01), while DAN significantly reversed Snail protein expression induced by PLT (P<0.05, P<0.01). The content of TGF-β1 in the PLT group increased (P<0.01), while the secretion of TGF-β1 induced by PLT decreased in the DAN groups (16, 32, and 64 g·L-1) (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the secretion of TGF-β1 was not significantly affected in other DAN groups. PDPN protein expression in the PLT group increased (P<0.01), while DAN could significantly inhibit PLT-induced PDPN expression (P<0.01). ConclusionDAN can inhibit PLT-induced migration, invasion, and EMT of breast cancer cells. The mechanism may be related to the direct action between breast cancer cells and tumor cells by down-regulating PDPN expression and interfering with PLT and has nothing to do with the effect of TGF-β1 secretion of PLT.
