Objective To investigate the effect of Botulinum toxin type A(BTXA)and rehabilitation intervention on upper limb Brunnstrom stages and ADL performance of stroke patients. Methods In a randomized controlled trial, 30 patients were allocated to either an experimental group (n=15) that received BTXA injection into muscles of the affected arm or to a controlled group (n=15). All patients' Brunnstrom stage and MAS stage were ≥gradeⅡ. All the patients were treated with rehabilitative techniques. The intervention was applied for 3 months. All were evaluated for the severity of spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale,MAS),the level of impairment (Brunnstrom assessment and Fugl-Meyer upper limb test) and disability(Functional Independence Measure,FIM) before and after 1 week, 1,2,3 months of treatment. Results Patients who received BTXA had significant reduction of muscle tone (P

Objective To explore the effect of swallowing training on dysphagia in patients with head and neck neoplasm receiving ra-diotherapy. Methods 60 patients with head and neck neoplasm receiving radiotherapy from March, 2014 to August, 2015 were divided into intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30) randomly. The control group received routine nursing and relevant health education, while the intervention group received swallowing training from 2 weeks before to 3 months after radiotherapy. They were assessed with Functional Oral Intake Scale and M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory 1 week, 3 months after radiotherapy. Results The scores of Function-al Oral Intake Scale (Z=-3.195, P<0.01), the total score of M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory and the subscores (t>4.385, P<0.01) were better in the intervention group than in the control group 1 week after radiotherapy, as well as 3 months after radiotherapy (Z=-4.436, P<0.01;t>5.361, P<0.01). Conclusion Swallowing training could improve the condition of dysphagia of head and neck neoplasm patients after radiotherapy.

Purpose To investigate the prognostic significance of NQO1 protein expression in colorectal carcinoma ( CRC) patients. Methods 192 cases of primary CRC, 28 of colonic dysplasia, and 44 of adjacent non-tumor tissues were selected for immunohisto-chemical staining of NQO1 protein. Correlation between NQO1 overexpression and clinicopathologic characteristics, and the survival rates were calculated by the statistical methods. Results The strongly positive rate of NQO1 protein in CRC was significantly higher than that in gastric dysplasia and adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0. 01, respectively). NQO1 high-expression rate was positively cor-related with differentiation, serosal invasion, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage (P <0. 05, respectively). Survival curve showed that the disease-free survival and 5-year survival rates of the patients with high NQO1 expression were obviously shorter than those of patients with low NQO1 expression (P<0. 001, respectively). Further analysis showed that, high expression of NQO1 predic-ted the lower disease-free survival and 5-year survival rates in late-stage patients (P<0. 01, respectively). Importantly, NQO1 was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of CRC using Cox proportional hazards regression model ( HR: 1. 398,95%CI: 1. 011 ~1. 934, P=0. 043). Conclusions Detection of NQO1 protein expression in CRC has an important clinical significance, and it is ex-pected to become a new biomarker for CRC.

Objective To investigate the medicated side warm nest pot combined with letrozole in the treatment of multiple bursal ovarian syndrome (PCOS) superiority of the clinical treatment of kidney deficiency syndrome in ovulation dysfunction infertility,provide the basis for clinical treatment. Methods 78 cases of infertile patients(randomly selected from January 2014 to June 2015 hospitalized in Hainan Medical University Hospital) due to kidney deficiency syndrome in patientswith ovulatory dysfunction resulting from PCOS. 39 cases in the control group received oral letrozole only. 39 cases in experimental group took oral warm nest pot combined with letrozole,continuous treatment for four menstruation cycle. Adverse reactions,ovulation rate,pregnancy rate and safety index of the two groups before and after treatment of menstruation were observed and recorded. Results The effective rate of the control group was 74.36%,and the effective rate of the experimental group was 87.18%. The difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). The ovulation rate of the control group was 47.71%,which was lower than that of the experimental group (79.07%),and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The pregnancy rate in the control group was 12.82%,while that in the experimental group was 33.33%,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Patient′s irregular menstruation improved in the two groups , while the experimental group did better than the control group. Conclusion Effect of warm nest pot combined with letrozole on kidney deficiency syndrome of ovulation dysfunction in PCOS is remarkable ,with little side effects.

Objective:To construct the index system of the core competence of nursing emergency personnel in the case of infectious disease outbreak, and to provide reference basis for the assessment and training of the core competence of nursing emergency personnel.Methods:Based on the core competence indicators of nurses defined by the International Nurses' Association and the action framework of WHO's outbreak of infectious diseases as the theoretical framework, the item pool was summarized through semi-structured interviews and research group meetings, the Delphi expert letter consultation method was used to construct the indicator system, and the analytic hierarchy process and the average distribution method were used to determine the weight of indicators at all levels.Results:Two rounds of Delphi expert letter consultation, 36 questionnaires were issued in each round, and the effective recovery rate was 86% (31) and 92% (33), respectively.Finally, it was determined that the core competence index system of nursing emergency personnel for infectious disease emergencies included 5 first-level indicators, 13 second-level indicators and 53 third-level indicators. The coefficient of variation ranged from 0 to 0.173, the weight ranged from 0.074 to 0.525, and the balanced combination weight ranged from 0.165 to 0.266.Conclusion:The index system of the core competence of nursing emergency personnel in infectious disease emergencies is comprehensive and scientific, which can provide theoretical basis for evaluating and training the core competence of nursing emergency personnel in infectious disease emergencies.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of capillary leakage syndrome ( CLS ) occurring in critically ill newborns in Guangzhou. Methods Three tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou were chosen as research field;critically ill newborns with diagnosis as CLS in NICU of three hospitals were retro-spectively studied from January 2011 to December 2015; and the morbidity,mortality,causes,treatment and outcome of CLS neonates were analyzed. Results There were 49 cases diagnosed as CLS, accounting for 1. 62%(49/3 029)of the total number of critically ill newborns admitted to NICUs in the same period. The common primary factors were preterm low birth weight(34 cases,69. 4%),respiratory distress syndrome(38 cases,77. 5%),congenital anomaly(19 cases,38. 8%),asphyxia(17 cases,34. 7%),and intrauterine infec-tion(12 cases,24. 5%). The 83. 7%(41/49) of CLS occurred within 72 hours after admission. The overall mortality of CLS was 30. 6%( 15/49 ) . The main lethal cause was multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (60. 0%,9/15). Treatment included antibiotics,vasoactive drugs,fluid resuscitation,corticosteroids,and me-chanical ventilation. Conclusion CLS is a common critical illness in NICU with high mortality and poor prognosis. Early prediction and early intervention could improve survival and prognosis in critically ill neonates with CLS.

Objective To study the effect of three-dimensional (3D) animation on preoperative anxiety in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods One hundred and eighty-four LDH patients were randomly divided into experiment and control group in equal number. The control group was educated in traditional method and the experiment group in the form of 3D animation. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used for the assessment 2 h after admission into the hospital and 1d before operation. Results After the intervention, the score by SAS in the observation group was significantly lower than that before the intervention and control groups (P<0.001). The score by SAS in the control group was significantly lower than that of the control group and that before intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion Health education by 3D animation can relieve preoperative anxiety in the patients with lumbar disc herniation.

HepG2 ceils were treated with various concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-or (TNF-α) for 24 hours. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure protein tyrosine phosphatase-1 B(PTP-1B)expression, and luciferase reporter assay was used to detect NF-kB activity. The results showed that treatment of HepG2 cells with TNF-α for 24 hours led to upregulation of PTP-1B and NF-kB activity in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of NF-kB by PI)TC significantly attenuated TNF-α-induced PTP-IB expression in HepG2 cells. Thus, the transactivation of NF-kB seems to play an important role in the expression of PTP-1B in HepG2 cells induced by TNF-α.

Objective To explore the protective effect of Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction on the immunological function in tumor-bearing mice treated by cyclophosphamide.Methods Transplantable carcinomas animal model were constructed by inoculating tumor cell to mice for 24 hours,and randomly divided into five groups.Tumor-bearing control group were reveived normal saline 0.2 mL per mice one day by intraperitoneal injection,and normal saline 0.4 mL per mice each day by intragastric administration.Cyclophosphamide group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day,and normal saline 0.4 mL per mice each day.Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction low dose group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day and traditional Chinese medicine 0.1 g per mice each day.Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction mediate dose group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day and traditional Chinese medicine 0.2 g per mice each day.Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue Decoction high dose group were reveived CTX 20 mg per kg weight each day and traditional Chinese medicine 0.4 g per mice each day.The weight indices of thymus gland and spleen,NK-cell activity and the proliferation of T-lymphocyte in five groups were measured after ten 10 days treatment.Results The weight indices of thymus gland and spleen,NK-cell activity and the proliferation of T- lymphocyte were increased in all three Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction groups,especially in Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction mediate and high dose group,the differences between them and CTX group were statistically significan(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Sijunzi decoction and Danggui Buxue decoction can antagonize the decrease of immunological function in tumor-bearing mice treated by chemotherapy.
