Modern Clinical Nursing 2015;14(10):5-8
Objective To investigate the effect of acceptance and implementation therapy on anxiety and depression in cancer patients'spouse. Methods The spouses of 50 hospitalized patients from January to June 2014 were assigned into the control group and the spouses of another 50 cases of hospitalized patients from July to December 2014 into the observation group . All the patients received routine care methods. The control group received general health education and the spouses in the observation group were managed with acceptance and implementation therapy, totally for 3 times. After the intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the levels of anxiety and depressions in both groups. Results Before intervention, there were no differences in SAS and SDS scores between the groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the SAS scores in the observation group and the control group scores were (48.36 ± 6.28) and (55.11 ± 6.74), respectively, with statistically significant difference (t=7.530, P<0.05). The SDS scores of the observation group and control group were (50.03 ± 4.12) and (58.50 ± 4.63) respectively, with statistically significant differences (t=6.672, P<0.05). The SAS and SDS score of observation group were lower than those before intervention (t = 7.283,7.524, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The acceptance and implementation therapy can effectively alleviate the anxiety and depression in the spouses of those patients with cancer.
2.Helical CT Findings of Neck Lymph Node Metastasis in Thyroid Carcinoma
Journal of Practical Radiology 2001;0(09):-
Objective To study helical CT manifestations of neck lymph node metastasis in thyroid carcinoma.Methods Forty-four patients of neck lymph node metastasis in thyroid carcinoma were performed helical CT scans and were analyzed retrospectively to compare with pathology and operation.CT manifestations mainly included:density,sector and calcification.Results On the one hand,CT manifestations had common character of neck lymph node metastasis;that was low-attenuant center and rim enhancement,on the other hand,CT manifestations showed:(1)thinness-sand and mottle calcification in the metastatic lymph node;(2)metastatic lymph node obvious enhancement.After enhance average density ranged from 28.00~50.54 HU to 62.85~145.78 HU,average density was near or more than 100 HU.Conclusion In metastatic lymph node of thyroid carcinoma,the findings of thinness-sand and mottle calcification suggest malignant tumor in thyroid focal,and metastatic lymph nodes were obviously enhanced;average density of lymph node after enhancement is near or more than 100 HU.
3.Exploring the clinical benefit with intra-articular injections of anti-TNF agent in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2015;22(1):80-83
Objective To observe the efficacy of intra-articular (IA) blockade of TNF-α by 3 etanercept injections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Eighteen moderate activity RA patients with resistant knee synovitis underwent three monthly IA injection of etanercept (25mg).The primary outcomes were visual analogue scale of target knee general health (VAS-TKGH) and VAS target knee Pain Score,and we also collected diameter of target knee joint,VAS fatigue Score,Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ),the 28-joint based disease activity score (DAS28) and joint fluid volume,which were all assessed at baseline and every four weeks after IA injection.Results All those 18 patients completed the treatment with the average disease duration of was (8 4.7 ± 54.1) months.After each IA injection,VAS-TKGH was significantly improved than baseline (P =0.03,0.02,0.02).and VAS target knee pain score was also significantly improved than baseline (P =0.03,0.00,0.00).After 3rd IA injection,VAS-TKGH was further reduced compared with those after 1 st and 2nd IA injection (P =0.02,0.03) ; while,VAS target knee pain score was further reduced after 3rd IA injection (P =0.00).Knee joint diameter,VAS fatigue score,HAQ and DAS 28 were significantly lower after 1st IA injection than baseline (P =0.03,0.02,0.03).After 2nd IA injection,VAS fatigue score,HAQ,and DAS28 were significantly further improved compared to treatment once (P =0.00,0.02,0.02) ;after 3rd IA injection,HAQ and DAS28 were further improved compared to those after 2nd IA injection (P =0.01,0.02).Joint fluid volume was significantly decreased after 2nd IA injection (P =0.01).Conclusion The tailor approach of intra-articular injections of anti-TNF agent might benefit RA patients who had resistant synovitis,and the side effect was rare.However,the sample was small and further observation is needed.
4.Exploration of Plasma Levels of Catestatin in Patients With Different Blood Pressure and Metabolic Status
Chinese Circulation Journal 2016;31(3):259-262
Objective: To analyze plasma levels of catestatin (CST) in patients with different blood pressure (BP) and metabolic status.
Methods: Our research included in 3 groups: Control group,n=60 subjects with normal BP from physical examination in our hospital; 131 patients with essential hypertension (EH) were divided into 2 groups: Isolated EH group,n=90 and MS (metabolic syndrome) group,n=41. Plasma levels of CST, norepinephrine (NE) were examined, the ratio of CST/NE was calculated, and those indexes were compared among different groups.
Results: Compared with Control group, plasma levels of CST and the ratios of CST/NE were decreased in Isolated EH and MS groups,P<0.05-0.01. As BP increasing, plasma levels of CST were gradually decreased; compared with Isolated EH group, plasma level of CST and CST/NE were reduced in MS group,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Plasma levels of CST and the ratio of CST/NE were obviously decreased in EH patients, CST was even lower in MS patients which implied that CST might be involved in the development of EH and MS.

Objective To explore the effect of Orem self-care pattern on quality of life of patients undergoing radiotherapy after breast cancer operation.Methods One hundred patients undergoing radiotherapy after breast cancer operation were randomly divided into control group and treatment group in equal number.The control group was treated by conventional nursing.Orem self-control pattern was used in the treatment group besides conventional nursing.QOL scale was employed to observe their quality of life after radiotherapy.Result The self-care ability and quality of life of the treated group were improved significantly comparing with the control group(P<0.05,for both).Conclusion Orem self-care pattern can effectively improve the quality of life of patients undergoing radiotherapy after breast cancer operation by way of helping them actively completing function exercises on the diseased limbs and propelling their early rehabilitation.
