Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2011;27(10):4-7
Objective To understand the application status of physical assessment in clinical nurses. Methods Using self-designed physical assessment skills questionnaire to investigate nurses in six provinces of China, 1115 questionnaires were valid. Results There were 171 items in this questionnaire,4.0% of them were used regularly, 19.3% used frequently, 76.7% used occasionally. The result of Spearman correlation showed that there was positive correlation between the frequency of physical assessment skills and the subjective needs of nurses, regional, educational background, hospital level. There was also negative correlation with title, age and seniority. Conclusions The main factors lead to imbalance development of physical assessment skills are regional, hospital-level and education background; the assessment skills of specialist hospitals and wards need to be standardized immediately.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2011;27(16):3-5
Objective To understand the subjective perception and influential factors of physical assessment technique in clinical nurses. Methods Using self-designed physical assessment skills questionnaire to investigate nurses in the six provinces of China, 1115 questionnaires were valid. Results There were 11 items in this questionnaire. The first four were: physical assessment is an essential skill of nurses (88.1%),the importance of continuous learning (84.8%), lack of maturity assessment tools (79.8%), heavy workload,lack of time (60.8%). The result of multiple regression analysis (stepwise) showed that hospital-level and regional were the main factors affecting the subjective perception. Conclusions The development of physical assessment reies mainly on rational allocation of human resources structure, establishing the physical assessment framework, and make sure different departments have their own characteristics and the importance of continuing education.

Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2016;28(8):718-722
Objective To evaluate the early diagnosis value of blood neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in patients with sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods A prospective case controlled study was conducted. Fifty-six patients with sepsis but without renal disease admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Shanxi People's Hospital from April 2014 to April 2015 were enrolled. Blood lactic acid and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score at ICU admission were recorded. The urine output, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), NGAL, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were continuously monitored for 48 hours. The patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the diagnostic criteria of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). The changes trend in above parameters between the two groups at different time points were compared. The early diagnostic value of NGAL, IL-18, and SCr for sepsis-induced AKI was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Compared with non-AKI group, with the time prolongation after ICU admission, the traditional parameters reflecting AKI urine output in sepsis-induced AKI group was decreased gradually, BUN and SCr were gradually increased, and a statistically significant difference was found at 12 hours between the two groups [BUN (mmol/L): 11.8±3.5 vs. 8.2±3.5, SCr (μmol/L): 88.6±11.3 vs. 74.0±11.0, both P < 0.01]; but the new indicators NGAL and IL-18 reflecting AKI had a statistically significant difference at 6 hours [NGAL (μg/L): 426.7±90.7 vs. 382.3±67.9, IL-18 (ng/L): 75.7±9.3 vs. 70.9±7.3, both P < 0.05]. It was shown that in AKI group, NGAL and IL-18 compared with BUN and SCr increased at least 6 hours ahead of schedule. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of 6-hour NGAL and IL-18 in patients with sepsis-induced AKI were 0.821 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.713-0.931] and 0.719 (95%CI = 0.584-0.853) respectively, superior to SCr (AUC = 0.677, 95%CI = 0.528-0.825). The cutoff value of NGAL was 363.58 μg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.0% and 86.7% respectively. Conclusions NGAL and IL-18 in the early prediction of sepsis patients with AKI are better than SCr, and NGAL was most sensitive. Therefore, NGAL can be used as an early biomarker for the diagnosis of AKI in patients with sepsis.
5.Effects of ANO1 on tumorigenesis
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2016;32(4):759-761,768
Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) is a calcium-activated chloride channel and is amplified and over-expressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumor, breast cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck squamous cell cancer, esophageal squa-mous cell cancer, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer.The amplification and over-expression of ANO1 are associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis.ANO1 promotes tumor formation and metastasis, and the drugs that inhibit the activity or expression of ANO1 show antitumor effects.Therefore, ANO1 may promote the tumorigenesis, and may be a molecular biomarker and a new target for cancer therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the application of two-dimension and color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fascial space infection in maxillofacial region. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on 87 cases of maxillofacial space infections, among which there were 6 suspected cases of accompanying tumor.Results: In the 87 cases, 53 had abscess formation, confirmed by operative drainage or puncture biopsy. The pathological studies revealed 2 cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and 1 case of branchial cleft cyst accompanied with infection. The 3 cases showed characteristic appearance in ultrasonic imaging. The space infection presented stronger echogenicity than that in tumors. In this study, 95% (83/87) cases showed grey or medium echogenic dots, while 4.5% (4/87) cases did not show obvious echogenic dots due to a large amount of abscess, and 2 cases of tumors, however, did not show any echogenic dots. In addition, 87% (76/87) cases had few blood flow in the lesion areas, and 22% (2/87) cases had much blood flow in the lesion areas. All cases showed that the lesion areas and the blood flow reduced obviously with enhanced echo following anti-inflammatory treatment except 2 cases accompanied with tumor without obvious changes in lesion areas and blood flow.Conclusion: The ultrasonic diagnosis with two dimension and color Doppler ultrasound has high accuracy in diagnosis of maxillofacial space infection, with accordance rate up to 96.6%, much higer than CT/MRI. It is suggested that the two dimension and color Doppler ultrasound can be used as a prior choice of diagnosis.
