Methods Divided 108 trauma patients with peroral endo-tracheal intubation and clear consciousness into the research group and the control group randomly, there were 54 cases in each group. Routine oral nursing cares were used in the control group, while the visible electric toothbrushes was used in the research group. Compared the efficacy of oral nursing between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of mouth odor, plaque index and oral infection in the research group were better than those of in the control group. Conclusions Using visible electric toothbrushes for trau-ma patients with oral endotracheal tube is a kind of effective and feasibility method, which should be devel-oped in the clinical field.

To develop optimal shift systems for an improvement of work schedule satisfaction, health and work productivity, the effects of the direction of the rotational work shifting on the circadian rhythm and adaptation of physiological components and work mistakes were investigated in nursing students. Two groups of seven volunteers participated as experimental subjects, apd seven to twenty nursing students participated as a control group. The directions of rotation work shift were as follows CW(clockwise)-shift system rotation in the direction of day shift(3 days), evening shift(3 days), off duty(l day) and night shift(5 days), and CCW (counterclockwise) -shift system rotation in the reverse direction. Urinary Na, K, and Cl levels were measured with ion-selective electrodes. The levels of performance were measured by a questionnaire to determine the number of mistakes in 12 specific items during duty. The disturbance of Na the circadian rhythm was seen on day and night shifts, especially in the CCW-rotation shift system, and the magnitude of the daily variation was greatest in the CCW-rotation system. The daily rhythms of K and Cl shifted to the right on the evening shift, and the rhythms were reversed on the night shift, which suggests that they adapted to the altered shift work. However, the levels of Cl were higher in day and night shift workers, especially in CCW-shift system. In the ease of urine salts, it seems that the students in CW-shift system more easily adapted to the altered shift. The incidence of mistakes during work were more frequent on the CCW shift than in the CW shift. These data indicate that the direction of rotation effects the worker's health and work performance. These results indicate that the CCW rotation of shift work makes it more difficult for the workers to adapt to the shift on a physiological level, and has many more negative effects on the shift workers' health when compared with the CW rotation. Thus, a clockwise rotating shift system seems to be more desirable for the optimal health and performance of nurses.

BACKGROUND: Both c-fosand heat-shock protein (HSP) 70 genes are closely relevant with and participate in the occurrence and development of blood stasis syndrome of primary hypertension. It is importance to study on their correlation for prevention of primary hypertension.OBJECTIVE: Immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expression of HSP70 and c-fos genes in blood stasis syndrome of primary hypertension so as to probe into their correlation.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Medical College of Jinan University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 148 cases of primary hypertension were selected, diagnosed in ward and clinic of Department of Cardiac Vascular Internal Medicine of Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2002 to march 2003, of which, 80 cases were male and 48 cases were female.INTERVENTIONS: At 7:30 to 8:00 in the morning on the 3rd of hospitalization, 2 mL intravenous blood was collected in fasting for immunohistochemical determination of HSP70 and c-fos genes. Evaluative standards:negative expression (-), no brown-yellow stained cell appeared; positive expression (+), positive cell count of each high power field ＜ 20％; dominant expression (++), positive cell count of each high power field was in the range from 20％ to 50％; strong positive expression (+++), positive cell count of each high power field was ＞ 50％. Ridit analysis statistical method was used for the correlation analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of HSP70 and c-fos genes.RESULTS: Totally 148 cases of primary hypertension participated in the experiment and the blood sample of all of those entered the result analysis.① Six cases presented positive expression of both HSP70 and c-fos genes.② Four cases presented dominant expression of HSP70 gene and positive expression of c-fos gene respectively. ③ Twelve cases presented strong positive expression of HSP70 gene and positive expression of c-fos gene respectively. ④ Six cases presented positive expression of HSP70 gene and dominant expression of c-fos gene respectively. ⑤ Nineteen cases presented dominant expression of both HSP70 and c-fos genes. ⑥ Sixteen cases presented strong positive expression of HSP70 gene and dominant expression of c-fos gene respectively. ⑦ One case presented positive expression of HSP70 gene and strong positive expression of c-fos gene respectively. ⑧ Twenty-eight cases presented dominant expression of HSP70 gene and strong positive expression of c-fos respectively. ⑨ Fifty-six cases presented strong positive expression of both HSP70 and c-fos genes. ⑩ The grade of positive expression presented significant correlation between HSP70 gene and c-fos gene (R =0.281 1-0.644 6, P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: In blood stasis syndrome of primary hypertension, the high expression presents in both HSP70 and c-fos genes, indicating remarkably correlation.

Brain metastases from lung cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality,whichis lack of effective treatment.Because chemotherapeutic drugs are thought to not cross the blood-brain barrier(BBB), the role of chemotherapy in the treatment of brain metastases remains controversial. For yearsradiotherapy has been the standard treatment for brain metastases.However, recent studies have confirmedthat the BBB in patients with brain metastases tumors are broken down.At the same time,researchers havefound some new methods for chemotherapeutic drugs to reach the brain metastases.Chemotherapy will play amore and more active role in the treatment of brain metastases tumors.
