Objective:To comparatively analyze the changes regulation of death attitude and death education needs for undergraduate nursing students in different grades.Methods:From March to June in 2019, 766 undergraduate nursing students from Batch 2015 to Batch 2018 of a medical college were collected in cluster sampling. The investigation was conducted by using the scale of Death Attitude Profile-revised in Chinese version and the scale of death education needs. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis, LSD test for measurement data, and chi-square test for counting data.Results:There were increasing trends of scores from freshman to junior in dimensions of fear of death, approach-oriented death acceptance and escape-oriented death acceptance ( P < 0.05), and the scores decreased in senior, but without statistical difference compared with junior ( P > 0.05). In neutral death acceptance dimension, the score decreased significantly in the second year ( P = 0.001), and then returned back to the original level in the fourth year. No significantly statistical difference was found in scores of different grades in death escape dimension ( P = 0.038). The score of death education need in the fourth year was the highest ( P < 0.05) and was positively correlated with the score of neutral death acceptance dimension ( P = 0.007). Conclusion:With the increase of school year, nursing students' positive attitude for death demonstrates positive trend, while the level of negative attitude of death are becoming balanced. The fourth year is suggested to be the right time to conduct death education immediately.

267 newly-diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into normoalbuminuria group [group N-UAlb, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR)<30 mg/g, n=103], microalbuminuria group(group M-UAlb, UACR 30~300 mg/g, n=88 ) , and macroalbuminuria group ( group L-UAlb, UACR>300 mg/g, n=76). The control group(group NC) consisted of 114 healthy individuals. Serum betatrophin, adiponectin(APN), and interleukin-1β( IL-1β) levels were determined with ELISA methods and the parameters of body mass index (BMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), HbA1C, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), OGTT 2h plasma glucose(2hPG), fasting insulin(FINS), OGTT 2h postprandial insulin(2hPINS), fasting C-peptide(FCP), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistant index(HOMA-IR), and blood lipid were collected. Compared with group NC, the serum betatrophin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes were obviously increased. In patients with type 2 diabetes, betatrophin levels increased along with the increase of UACR and there were significant differences in betatrophin among the three groups(P<0. 01). Betatrophin positively correlated with UACR, HbA1C, FPG, 2hPG, FINS, 2hPINS, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TG( r were 0. 785, 0. 225, 0. 136, 0. 241, 0. 386, 0. 223, 0. 411, 0.216,0.193,and0.298,allP<0.05),and betatrophin were also positively correlated with APN and IL-1β(rwere 0. 643 and 0. 710, both P<0. 01). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that UACR, HbA1C, FINS, and TG were independent relevant factors affecting betatrophin levels.

Objective To observe the effects of Jianpi Yangxue Qufeng Formula (JPYXQF) on the AQP3 in mice with chronic eczema, and explore mechanism of action. Methods Fifty healthy male mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, namely normal group, model group, positive medicine group and JPYXQF high and low dose groups. Low-dose DNCB and Sennae Fominm were used to establish mice models of chronic eczema with spleen deficiency. JPYXQF groups were treated by JPYXQF for gavage, while the positive medicine group was treated by levocetirizine hydrochloride for gavage. The expression of AQP3 in mice skin tissue was detected by immunohistochemical method. At the same time, the pathological changes of skin were observed. Results The pathology of mice skin lesion showed that JPYXQF has certain recovery effects on the inflammation injury of skin lesion. Compared with the normal group, expression of AQP3 over expressed in model group. Compared with the model group, the expression of AQP3 in all treatment groups significantly decreased, and the staining intensity decreased. In the model group, the average optical density of AQP3 was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the treatment groups can reduce the expression of AQP3 in mice skin tissues (P<0.05). Conclusion JPYXQF can reduce the over expression of AQP3 in skin lesion, which is probably its mechanism for the treatment of chronic eczema.
