Objective To explore the fatigue in patients with rheumatic diseases and put forward nursing countermeasures.Methods 173 patients with rheumatic diseases were investigated by Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS).Results The score of physical fatigue,mental fatigue and total score in the patients were 5.03±2.19,2.62±1.56,7.65±3.03,respectively,which were higher than those in healthy people (P＜ 0.01).Of the 173 patients,74 (42.8％) patients suffered from physical fatigue,52 (30.1％) patients suffered from mental fatigue,32 (18.5％) patients suffered from both.There were statistical differences in the physical fatigue and total score (P ＜ 0.01),no statistical difference in the mental fatigue (P ＞ 0.05) among the groups,which were divided according to the course of disease.There were statistical differences in the physical fatigue,mental fatigue and total score among the groups,which were divided according to the depression index (F=5.28,5.98,8.58,P ＜ 0.01).The regression analysis further showed the course of disease and depression index could positively predict the fatigue in patients with rheumatic diseases.Conclusions The prevalence of fatigue was high in patients with rheumatic diseases,the course of disease and depression influenced the fatigue in patients.Controlling deterioration of disease and relieving psychological stress would help prevent and alleviate the fatigue in patients with rheumatic diseases.

To evaluate percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) with continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions in intensive care unit (ICU) elder patients.A total of 32 elder patients were selected randomly for PDT and 36 controls for traditional surgical tracheostomy (TST).The PDT group required regular mechanical ventilation with continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions.The operative duration was significantly shorter in PDT group than that in TST group [ ( 10.6 ±3.4)vs.(30.9 ±7.1)min,P ＜0.01].Incision length was significantly less in PDT group than that in TST group [ ( 1.3 ± 0.2 ) vs.(3.2 ± 0.3 )cm,P ＜0.01].Blood loss volume was significantly less in PDT group than that in TST group [ ( 10.4 ±3.8 ) vs.(40.7 ± 11.7 ) ml,P ＜ 0.01].The incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) was significantly lower in PDT group than that in TST group ( 15.6％ vs.38.9％,P ＜ 0.05 ).With multiple advantages of mini-invasiveness,safety,simplicity,convenience and easier installation,PDT is quite suitable for elder patients in ICU.

Objective: To study the impact of the residents’ health investment income growth, and analyze rural-urban differences and regional differences. Methods: According to the provincial panel data from 1996 to 2011, two-way fixed effects model ( Two-way FE) is established in empirical analysis. Results: Health investment has positive effects on the income growth of residents, but rural-urban differences and regional differences exist. The health investment income growth effect of rural area is higher than urban, and the effect of western area is higher than the east. Conclusion: While improving the level of urban medical health investment, it needs to focus on health investment in rural and western area. To make the health investment on income growth effect play its work efficiently, and narrow the rural-urban income gap and regional income gap.

Emodin is the main effective monomer of Rhubarb, which has a variety of pharmacological actions and valuable clinical applications.Recently, there are many reports about molecular mechanisms of emodin pharmacological actions,and they givehighly attention on the dephlogisticating and antineoplastic effects. These effects are achieved through affecting the concentration and transportation of ions, resisting of oxidation and free radical, and affecting the secretion of inflammatory factor and the enzyme activity and apoptosis and so on. This article summarizes the reports and hopes to provide theoretical basis for the practical application.

AIM:To investigate LPS(lipopolysaccharide)stimulated cytokine secretion from normal rat kupffer cells in vitro. METHODS: Kupffer cells were isolated from wistar rats liver and cultured. Tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF- α) and endothelin- 1 (ET- 1 ) secreted by LPS stimulated kupffer cells were detected. RESULTS: LPS had an stimulative effect on kupffer cell activity. LPS in definite concentrations promoted kupffer cell secretion. CONCLUSION: LPS promotes kupffer cell secretion, which may be associated with liver injury induced by LPS.

Cellular signal transduction plays an important role in pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia reperfusion(MIR) injury. During this process, extracellular signal molecules, membrance receptors and intracellular signal paths are involved. There are many cross talkings in signal pathways at many levels. The present article reviews cellular signal transduction mechanisms in MIR. The exploration of MIR's cellular pathogenesis may be beneficial for us to prevent and cure the heart damage in clinic. Furthermore, it may provide a new way of thinking in mechanism research of medicine.
