Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2014;30(30):67-70
Objective To explore literature published periodicals,the organizations of the first authors,the research direction and the quality about nursing system literature in recent four years.Methods By retrievaling the databases of China Hospital Knowledge (CHKD),VIP Biomedical,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang,Pubmed and Medline,each database used the same search term and retrieval type (the retrieval type differed by each database grammar),and the retrieval time was limited from Jan,2010 to Dec,2013.Results 75 nursing literature published on 35 journals were obtained,of which 19 journals published only one paper.In terms of quality evaluation,publication bias tested 36,49 forest charts,2 disputing topics,24 with exact P value cycle interpretations,16 used flowcharts,and none of the literature heterogeneity tests used graphical method.By classifying the organizations of the first authors as schools and hospitals,the number of published papers were 38 and 37 separately from 2010 to 2013.Conclusions The nursing systematic literature were always with vast amount and dispersed content,less repetitive content was seen during the literature,The structure was not rigorous,and quality remains to be improved.It should be noted that Meta-analysis study normative has its requirements and more published papers are needed.
3.Research progress in metabolic targets for cancer therapy
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2017;31(3):269-278
Cancer cells can change metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and glutamine metabolism, and produce the raw materials needed for rapid proliferation and survival. Therefore, research on metabolic pathways of cancer cells might help find the targets of cancer therapy. In this review, we outlined the metabolic features of aerobic glycolysis, glutamine metabolism and (tricarboxylic acid) TCA cycle in cancer. We also described metabolic targets for cancer therapy and therapeutic agents for the corresponding targets in these metabolic pathways, and finally discussed some of the challenges related to tumor metabolism as a therapeutic target in cancer therapy.

Objective To discuss endodontic surgery,such as the medical treatment effect of the fixation and reparation of tooth after root amputation and hemisection and prepare and provide medical basis for further application of the treatment. Methods Choosing fifty patients with hemisection or extirpating of root of tooth. After filling out the remaining root of tooth with silver and mercury, then make the operations of cutting tooth or extirpation of root of tooth in the condition of local anesthesia. For two to three months after the operation, on the basis of the remaining root of tooth sad next tooth with some body deformities, to make the operation of the united fixation and reparation. Then con-tinue to observe the treatment effect for two to three months. Results It has a good effective treatment on the united fixation and reparation of the remaining root of tooth united with next tooth with some body deformities after the opera-tions of root amputation and the hemisoction. The patients'chewing strength is strong and it is easy to clean and less to get local anesthesia which is often occurred after the operations. Conclusions Molars remained after hemisection of tooth or root amputation cannot be easily extirpated, so we may consider to made the operations of united fixation and reparation with next tooth. The fixed bridge has fixing and protection functions to the remaining mot of tooth and can improve chewing power.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of Distal-Jet appliance on the distalization of maxillary molar.Methods:12 Class Ⅱ malocclusion patients(at the average age of 12.3 years) with mesially moved maxillary molar were treated by Distal-Jet appliance. Cephalometic radiographs and dental models were taken and analyzed before and after molar distalization.Results:The treatment time was (4.3?2.8) months. After treatment following effects were achieved:①The maxillary molar was distalized by (3.6?0.75) mm per side with crown tilting distally by ( 3.5 ?3)?. ②The first premolar was moved mesially by (2.1?1.7) mm (tilting movement). Anterior overjet was increased by (1.47?1.76) mm. ③In the vertical dimension,the maxillary molar was extruded slightly by (0.39? 0.46 ) mm, the first premolar was extruded by (0.43?0.61) mm. ④The width between the central point of first maxillary molar was increased by ( 2.8 ?1.1) mm.Conclusions:The Distal-Jet appliance can distalize maxillary molars effectively. However,it may result in distaly tilting of molars and mesial movement of premolars.

Objective To investigate the effect of no-tonch harvesting technique in reducing vein graft intimal hyperplasin. A4othods This longitudinal trial compared graft ungiestenosis of two groups undergoing jugular vein to carotid artery interposition grafting in rabbit model. Conventional group: 12 rabbits had their veins stripped, distended, and stored in heparinized saline solution. No-touch group: 12 rabbits had veins removed with surrounding tissues, but were not distended, and stored in heparinized blood. The grafts were removed 4 weeks following grafting, and morphometry and immunohistochemistry assessment were performed. Results The intimal thickness, degree of anginstennsis and proliferation index of vascular smooth muscle cells of no-touch group were significantly reduced (P< 0.01) compared with those of the conventional group. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen pnsitive-staining cells were significantly increased (P<0.01) in the conventional group compared with whose in the no-touch group. Conclusion Harvesting the vein graft with no-touch harvesting technique could significantly reduce intimul hyperpinsin of the vein graft.
