Objective To understand the current situation and influencing factors of humanistic care ability of nurses in emergency department. Methods A total of 101 nurses in the emergency department of our hospital were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey using the Humanistic Care Ability Inventory (CAI). The influencing factors of humanistic care ability of nurses in emergency department by multiple regressions were analyzed. Results The total score of humanistic care ability of emergency department nurses was 220.50 ± 3.41, and there were significant differences between the total scores of all dimensions and foreign conventional model (t=3.07-5.98, P<0.05), indicating that nurses′humanistic care ability were at a high level. In the three dimensions, the orders of the total scores from high to low were:cognitive dimension, courage dimension, and patience dimension. There was statistically significance among the different grades, different titles, family members and colleagues with different caring ability degree (F=3.92-48.98, P<0.05). The higher of the grades, the titles, and the caring degree of the family and the colleagues, the stronger the humanistic care ability was obtained. There was no significant difference between all dimension scores and the total scores of male and female nurses (t=0.93-1.70, P > 0.05). There was no difference in the humanistic care ability of nurses with different sexes. Multivariate regression analysis showed that the grades and the care degree of colleagues was the most influential factor for influencing the humanistic care ability of nurses in emergency department. Conclusions Humanistic nursing ability of emergency department nurses was at a high level. Through strengthening of the nursing ability of the low-grade nurses, it can effectively improve the nurses' humanistic nursing care ability, and promote the successful development of the quality nursing work.

Objective To investigate the effect of Williams life skills training (WLST) on self-efficacy. Methods Sixty-eight newly contracted nurses during March to May 2014 in our hospital were assigned in the control group , and another sixty-eight newly-contracted nurses during March to May 2015 in our hospital in the intervention group. After the implementation of Williams life skills training, the two groups were compared in terms of transition impact and self-efficacy using the transition impact scale and general self-efficacy scale (GSES). Result After the intervention, the scores on transition impact as well as its dimensions in the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05) and the scores on self-efficacy as well as its dimensions in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion WLST can be effective in the intervention on the newly-graduated nurses and it can effectively improve the extent of transition impact as well as their self-efficacy levels.

Hedysarum Ploybotrys Hand Ma22 at 48th hours were 0 4460,0 3326 and 0 4169 at concintration of 1∶1 600,1∶3 200,1∶6 400, and decrease after it. Rank sum test show the correlations to time were negative ( P

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Lingtong Capsule (LC) in treating primary dysmenorrhea (PD).

METHODSTotally 59 PD patients took LC, while 59 patients in the placebo group took placebo capsule, two pills immediately when they felt dysmenorrhea. Their pain levels were quantitatively classified. The pain score was assessed at an interval of 30 min using visual analogue scale/score (VAS) while taking medicine and within two h after taking medicine. It was assessed as effective when the pain level was reduced by more than or equal to 50% within 2 h.

RESULTSThe total effective rate was 69.49% (41/ 59) in the LC group and 20.34% (12/59) in the placebo group (P < 0.01). The analgesia effect was obviously superior in the LC group 60 min after taking medicine (P < 0.01). LC showed better effect in treating mild, moderate, and severe PD (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLC showed obvious analgesia effect on PD.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression of EZH2 and p53 protein in primary prostate cancer (Pca) and its clinical significance.Methods High-throughput tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of EZH2 and p53 protein in 48 human prostate cancer specimens without a history of chemo-radiation therapy and 15 cases of benign prostate hyperplasic (BPH) tissues. The pathological characteristics and the relationship of the expression of EZH2 and p53 protein in primary prostate cancer was analyzed. ResultsImmunohistochemical results showed that the positive rates of EZH2 and p53 protein in prostate cancer were 87.50 ％ (42/48) and 33.33 ％ (16/48), respectively, which were significantly higher than that in BPH tissues[13.33 ％ (2/15) and 0 (0/15)](x2=26.429, x2=5.058,P ＜0.05). The expression of EZH2 and p53 protein was significantly related to Gleason score, TNM stage (P ＜0.05), but not to age and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (P ＞0.05). The positive expression in patients with Gleason＞6 was higher than that with Gleason≤6(P ＜0.05).The positive expression in patients with T3-T4 stage was higher than that with T1-T2 stage(P ＜0.05).Spearman rank correlation showed a significantly positive correlation between EZH2 and p53 protein (r=0.294, P ＜0.05). ConclusionEZH2 and p53 protein may participate in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer.The overexpression of EZH2 and p53 protein could become an index for the evaluation of the level of malignancy and progression of prostate cancer.Furthermore,combining detection of EZH2 and p53 protein may provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Objective To understand the making of laws and regulations for banning smoking in the public places in big cities in China and to provide the reference for making a national code.Methods The methods of literature search and review were employed,as well as questionnaire survey.Results 45.7% of the big cities had the relevant local laws and(or)regulations and 10.4% of the codes were issued by the local People's Congress,1.3% by the other institutions.Definitions used in the local legal and regulatory codes are different.Of the local legal and regulatory codes,17.4% involved four to six types of the public places,68.7% involved seven to eight types and 13.9% involved nine to ten types.Among the codes,8.6% provided that smoke ban inspector should be appointed by the authority in charge,31.9% required the department where smoking is banned to appoint the inspector,58.6% did not request the appointment at all.As for the violating law unit,9.6% of the codes issued a fine of 5-500 Yuan,20.0% issued a fine of 500-1 000 Yuan,10.4% issued a fine of 1 000-2 000 Yuan and 9.6% issued a fine of 2 000-5 000 Yuan.As for the violating law individual,12.1% of the codes issued a 1-5 Yuan fine,22.4% issued a 5-10 Yuan and 10.3% issued a 20-100 Yuan.In 5.8% of the big cities,the codes were revised.Conclusion Up to now,there is no a national law for banning smoking in the public places in China.The effect of the local laws and regulations on banning smoking in the public places is not satisfactory.China still has a long way to go in controlling smoking in the public places compared with the advanced countries.
