Objective To study the psychological health state of parents of children patients with hand foot mouth disease and provide scientific basement for clinical nursing care. Methods Zung self- rating anxi-ety scale (SAS) and self-designed investigation scale were used to survey 98 parents of children patients with hand foot mouth disease,and selective nursing intervention was adopted. Results The anxiety scores of the parents were significantly higher than those of the normal mode, and their psychological symptom was influ-eneed by various factors. After the nursing intervention, the anxiety degree was significant different from that of before intervention. Conclusions Psychological health levels of the parents of children with hand foot mouth disease were markedly lower than those of healthy individuals. Psychological nursing care should not only in-clude children but also their parents in order to alleviate their bad mental state.

98%), the peak level of uptake occurred earlier, intracellular fluorescence intensity maintained much more stable. Expressions of CD19+, CD22+, CD20+ increased significantly. A_~570 values of MNCs proliferation and IgG levels in supernatant were all higher. CONCLUSION: CD40 ligand-PLL carrier system may delivery CpG ODN targeting to B lymphocytes, enhancing its immunological efficiency.

BACKGROUND: CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) is a type of highly effective immune adjuvant with low toxicity, which has an extensive application in gene therapy for many diseases. However, the specificity for species and cells leading to low uptake by cells and degradation by nuclease blocks its clinical application. OBJECTIVE: To explore the specific delivery and its immunologic efficacy of CpG ODN targeting B lymphocytes of umbilical cord blood by CD40 ligand-receptor-mediated carrier system. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observation and control experiment was performed at the Department of Hematology, and Department of Pediatric, the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from April 2004 to October 2007. MATERIALS: Fresh umbilical cord blood with heparin was obtained from healthy, natal infant. Informed consent was obtained from his parents, and the experiment was approved by the hospital Ethics Committee. METHODS: CD40 ligand (CD40L)-EDC-PLL-CpG ODN conjugated complex was prepared. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from umbilical cord blood were co-cultured with conjugated complexes. Uptake rate, mean fluorescence intensity of FAM marked CpG ODN, expressions of MNCs, proliferations of lymphocytes and the IgG levels of culture supematants were detected by flow cytometry, fluorescence techniques, MTT assay and ELISA, respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The uptake rate, the mean fluorescence intensity of CpG ODN by MNCs, subgroups and proliferations of lymphocytes, and IgG levels of culture supematants. RESULTS: Compared to the pure CpG ODN group, the uptake rate of the conjugated complexes group was higher (98%), the peak level of up-taking occurred earlier, and intracellular fluorescence intensity maintained much more stable. Expressions of CD19+, CD22+, and CD20+ was increased, A value and IgG levels in supematants were all higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSION: CD40 tigand-receptor-mediated carrier system is helpful for CpG ODN delivery targeting to B lymphocyte, enhancing its immunological efficiency.

Objective:To compare dose distributions between photon versus proton and carbon ion radiotherapy (particle therapy, PT) among patients with gross tumors, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PT for thymic malignancies (TM).Methods:From Sept 2015 to Aug 2018, 19 patients with TM who underwent non-palliative PT using pencil beam scanning technique in our hospital and had at least one follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Diseases staged from Ⅰ-Ⅳ B including 15 Ⅲ-Ⅳ B. All the patients had pathological diagnosis with 10 thymomas, 6 carcinomas and 3 neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus. A set of dosimetric comparisons were conducted in patients with gross tumors at a total dose of 66 GyE, in 33 fractions for photon or proton beams and in 22 fractions for carbon ion beams. Five patients without any local treatment and 7 patients after R2 resection received radical radiotherapy of proton 44.0-48.4 GyE in 20-22 fractions plus carbon ion 21.0-23.1 GyE in 7 fractions, 1 case after complete resection (R0 resection) had proton 45 GyE in 25 fractions, 5 cases after R1 resection had proton 60.0-61.6 GyE in 28-30 fractions and 1 case of recurrence after postoperative radiotherapy had only carbon ion 60 GyE in 20 fractions. Results:The median follow up time was 19.0 (2.4-42.9) months. There were 13 patients with gross tumors, with a median largest diameter of 5.7 (2.7-12.8) cm. The dosimetric study showed that proton and carbon-ion plans significantly reduced the maximum dose to the spinal cord, the mean doses to the organs at risk (OARs) including the lung/heart/esophagus, and the integral dose of the exposed area about 25%-65% compared to photon plans. No other toxicities ≥ grade 3 were observed except one myocardial infarction (grade 4 late toxicity). There was no local failure observed. Metastasis to regional lymph node, lung, pleura, skull base, bone or liver occurred in 4 patients with Ⅲ-Ⅳ B stage disease in 6.1-22.8 months after treatment. The 2-year local control and overall survival rates were 100%, disease free survival and distant metastasis free survival rates were 64.6%. Conclusions:For TMs, PT has significant advantages over photon in terms of sparing OARs, and is safe and effective in patients with TMs after short-time follow-up.

Objective To understand the physical activity of early stage pregnant women and explore its influential factors. Methods From June 2015 to June 2016, 2122 pregnant women with early pregnancy card in Ma An Shan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected and surveyed with a questionnaire. The Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to understand the physical activity of pregnant women in their early pregnancy. Analysis of variance and t-test were used to describe the distribution of energy expenditures of physical activity of pregnant women with different demographic characteristics, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing the energy expenditure of their physical activity. Result The duration of activities of sleep and sitting type was (16.56 ± 3.54) h, accounting for 83.38％of total activity time;the energy consumption value was (17.17±5.59) METs·h;mild physical activity time was (2.62±1.86) h, accounting for total time. 13.19％and the energy consumption value was (6.06±4.43) METs·h;the average time of moderate to severe physical activity was (0.68±0.93) h, accounting for 3.42％of total physical activity time, and the energy consumption value was (3.22±4.58) METs·h. In the univariate analysis, the energy expenditures of physical activity between the different groups (t=-3.551), education level (F=1.347), and occupation type (F=1.485) were different, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In multiple linear regression analysis, different occupational types and education were the energy expenditure levels of physical activity during early pregnancy. Influencing factors (P<0.05). Conclusion Pregnant women have longer periods of sleep and meditation during the first trimester, and shorter duration of physical activity than mild and above;the energy expenditure of physical activity during the first trimester of pregnancy is affected by the occupational type and educational level of the pregnant woman.
