The age of 18 is an important criterion in judicial trial, immigrant and competitive sports. Consequentially, the estimation of age 18 is a key issue in forensic practice and research. The extremitas sternalis claviculae, iliac crest, third molar, and the proximal limb of the limb bone were usually used as indictors of age 18. The results of the previous studies demonstrated that those indictors could be beneficial to the estimation of age 18. The X-ray, CT, ultrasound and MRI of different indictors were widely utilized for the estimation of age 18, particularly the thin-layer CT. But due to the non-radiation, MRI will be a trend for forensic age estimation in the future. Whilst in the previous studies, the descriptive analysis was applied for the estimation of age 18, but due to the low statistic efficiency, it is unsuitable for forensic age estimation, and the future studies should pay attention to the high efficiency statistical methods, for instance, the ROC curve or the data mining.

Objective To investigate the expression of HIF-1 α and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in human pancreatic cancer cell line panc-l under hypoxia.To observe the effect of HIF-1α in the regulation of TLR4 expression in pancreatic cancer cells under hypoxic conditions.Methods Cells were placed in airtight chamber or treated with CoCl2 to mimic tumor hypoxic micro environment.mRNA and protein levels of HIF-lα and TLR4 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and flow cytometric analysis.By RNA interference( RNAi ) originated from small interference RNA (siRNA) to use siRNA was transfected into panc-1 cells.Western blot was used to detect gene scilencing effect on HIF-1α.RT-PCR and flow cytometric analysis was used to observe the change of TLR4 gene expression after HIF-1α gene silence.Results Under hypoxia,both mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 were up-regulated.The siRNA targeting HIF-1α gene down-regulated HIF-1α gene in panc-l cells efficiently,and TLR4 gene was down-regulated as well.Conclusions Hypoxia can increase protein level of TLR4 in pancreatic cancer cells.TLR4 signaling pathway together with HIF-1α may promote development of the pancreatic cancer.

Objective To explore the influence and it′s mechanism of workplace mindfulness on thriving at work of nursing staffs. Methods A cross-section survey was conducted to collect data with an online method, the multiple line hierarchical regression analysis method was performed to test the relations between variables. Results The mean workplace mindfulness score of nursewas 4.74±0.63, the mean thriving score was 3.07 ± 0.71. Workplace mindfulness had a significantly positive prediction on thriving at work (β=0.344, P<0.01) of nurses. Conclusions Workplace mindfulness could affect nurses′thriving at work, which is beneficial to improve the growth and vitality of nursing staffs, which in turn to enhance them to abundant and vigorous life.

Objective To investigate the relationship between acute radiation proctitis and radiation dose,volume as well as radiation time,in the process of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the cervical cancer patients.Methods A total of 51 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were enrolled from January 2011 to December 2013.Those patients were then classified into grade 1 to 4 groups,according to the RTOG/EORTCtoxicity grading standard.The exposure dose volume and the average dose of rectum under the standard plan were evaluated with dose-volume histogram (DVH).The ANOVA test was used for analyzing Dmax,D mean,D1 cm3,D2cm3,D40 and V40 values of rectum and the average exposure dose of rectum.Results The average time of acute radiation proctitis with clinical symptoms was (23.06 ± 12.01) d after radiotherapy.Dmaxvalues of rectum in grade 2 group was lower than those in grade 3 and 4 groups (F =5.268,P < 0.05).Moreover,D1 cm3 and D2 cm3 values of rectum in grade 1 and 2 groups were also lower than those in grade 3 and 4 groups (F =4.893,4.406,P < 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between D40 and V40 values.Conclusions The acute radiation proctitis could be frequently found around 20 days during the IMRT for cervical cancer patients.Mild and moderate acute radiation proctitis are more common,while severe acute radiation proctitis is rare.Minimizing Dmax,D1 cm3 and D2 cm3 values of rectum might reduce the incidence of severe acute radiation proctitis in cervical cancer patients receiving IMRT.

Objective To explore the relationship of intelligence among memory, sustained attention and executive function of schizophrenic patients. Methods 120 schizophrenic inpatients and 60 healthy subjects matched in age, gender and years of education with the patients were assessed with Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-fourth edition (WAIS-IV) and Wechsler Memory Scale-fourth edition (WMS-IV), Continuous Performance Test (CPT), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Results The intelligence quotient (IQ), memory quotient (MQ), scores of CPT and WCST were poor in the patients (P<0.05). IQ was correlated with MQ (r=0.837, P<0.01), the scores of CPT (r=0.613, P<0.01) and WCST (r=0.466, P<0.01). The scores of CPT and MQ were the independent factors related with IQ (P<0.001).Conclusion There is intelligence impairment in schizophrenics, which may related with the impairment of memory and sustained attention.

Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2016;22(26):3769-3774
Objective To systematically review the effects of clinical nursing pathways on colorectal cancer patients with colostomy.Methods Studies on the randomized controlled trials (RCT) of clinical nursing pathways on colorectal cancer patients with colostomy were systematically searched in electronic databases including CNKI, VIP, CBM and WANFANG Data. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5. 3 software. Results A total of 16 studies enrolling 1 159 patients (582 in observation group and 577 in control group) were included. The results of the Meta-analysis indicated that patients′satisfaction [RR=1.24, 95 CI%=(1.17,1.32), P<0.01] and self-care ability of patients [RR=1.58, 95 CI%=(1.38,1.82), P<0.01] were significantly higher in observation group than in control group. Average hospitalization time [ SMD=-1. 65, 95 CI%=(-2. 66,-0.65) , P<0.01] , the medical expenses [ SMD=-3.89, 95 CI%=(-6.90,-0.87) , P<0.01] and postoperative complications [RR=0.39, 95 CI%=(0.27,0.55), P<0.01] in observation group were significantly decreased while comparing to control group. The descriptive analysis showed that the mastering of health knowledge in the clinical nursing pathway group were better than those in control group.Conclusions Application effects of clinical nursing pathways are superior to the traditional nursing methods in colorectal cancer patients with colostomy.
