Objective To analyze the relevance between the nursing students′ sense of life meaning and death attitudes. Methods 181 nursing students were surveyed with the Purpose In Life Test (PIL) and Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), and then did the relevant statistical analysis. Results The nursing undergraduates′overall average of PIL was (91.45 ± 10.54) points, and the neutral acceptance death attitude got the highest scores which were 24.14 ± 5.78, while escape acceptance got the lowest scores which were 11.76 ± 3.61. And there was a significant negative correlation (r =-0.257, P <0.05) between the sense of life meaning and death attitudes. Conclusions There was a significant negative correlation between the sense of life meaning and death attitudes, the more sense of life meaning was, the more positive attitudes toward death would be. So it′s of great importance to provide life-and-death education to improve the nursing students′sense of life meaning and death attitudes.

Objective To compare therapeutic effect of single hemoperfusion and hemoperfusion combined with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration ( sequential continuous blood purification) on patients with severe acute organophosphate poisoning combined with myocardial injury.Methods A total of 80 patients with severe acute organophosphate poisoning combined with myocardial injury admitted to EICU of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from Jan.2004 to Dec.2013 were respectively analyzed and divided into two groups: hemoperfusion group (patients collected from Jan.2004 to Dec.2008, n=41) and sequential continuous blood purification (patients collected from Jan.2009 to Dec.2013, n =39).The average cholinesterase recovery time, the average consciousness recovery time, the average doses of atropine, the average hospital time, the change of cardiac troponin I levels on days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 after admission, and the change of left ventricular ejection fraction within 24 h after admission and after 24 h following blood purification treatment were compared between the two groups.Results Patients in the sequential continuous blood purification group had less average cholinesterase recovery time, average consciousness recovery time, average doses of atropine and average hospital time compared with patients in the hemoperfusion group [ ( 87.6 ±8.8 ) h vs.( 113.8 ±13.3 ) h;(57.3 ±11.7) h vs.(100.5 ±10.8) h;(284.5 ±61.4) mg vs.(476.6 ±93.1) mg and (10.2 ±2.3) vs. (14.6 ±3.9) , all P<0.01].The levels of cardiac troponin I on days 2, 3, 5 and 7, and ejection fraction of left ventricule after 24 h following blood purification treatment in the sequential continuous blood purification group were significantly decreased compared with patients in the hemoperfusion group ( all P <0.05 ) . Conclusion Therapeutic effect of sequential continuous blood purification on patients with severe acute organophosphate poisoning combined with myocardial injury is superior to single hemoperfusion.It suggests that sequential continuous blood purification could be used as a preferred choice in treatment of patients with severe acute organophosphate poisoning combined with myocardial injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone (ROS),a peroxisome poliferator- activated receptor (PPAR)?ligand,combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on anti-angiogenesis of transplanted gastric cancer in nude mice,and to explore the mechanism of anti-angiogenesis prelimina- rily.Methods The model of xenograft tumor in nude mice were established by inoculating human gastric cancer cells line MGC803 (lower differentiated) into the back of nude mice subcutaneously.The cancer- bearing nude mice were divided randomly into 5 groups:group 1 (n=6) with no treatment;ROS treat- ment (group 2,n=6),ROS combined ATRA treatment including:low dose treatment (group 3,n= 6),moderate dose treatment (group 4,n=6) and high dose treatment (group 5,n=6).After treated for forty days,the volume change of tumor and tumor inhibition rates were observed.The expression of CD34,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in grafts were detected by immunohistochemical and calculated the difference of MVD.The mRNA expression levels of VEGF,HIF-l?were detected by RT- PCR assay accordingly.Results①The volume of tumor was significantly decreased in ROS treatment group compared with group 1 (P＜0.01).The tumor inhibition rates of group 2 were similar to group 3 (P＞0.05).With the increasing of the dose of ROS the tumor inhibition rates were increased.They were dose-dependent in specified dose-range.②ROS could inhibit angiogenesis of xenograft tumor and depress expression of mRNA of VEGF and HIF-l?.When ROS combined with ATRA,the increasing of dose of ROS,inhibiting angiogenesis of tumor and depressing expression of mRNA of VEGF and HIF-l?were found (P＜0.05).Conclusion ROS (25 mg?kg?2 d~(-1)) can inhibit the growth of tumor,and ROS combined with ATRA can further inhibit the growth of tumor,which may be through the path of PTEN by inhibiting the angiogenesis of tumor

BACKGROUND: The expression and significance of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-α) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) in different diseases are different.OBJ ECTTVE: To investigate the expression of TGF-α and EGF-R in human liver cirrhosis tissues.DESIGN : Non-randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Department of General Surgery, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This trial was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA during March 2003 to May 2004. Sixty-three samples of human liver cirrhosis tissue were obtained from Department of General Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA (Informed consents were obtained). Five human normal liver tissues were obtained form autopsy in Department of Pathology, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA (patients with liver diseases were excluded).METHODS: Sixty-three samples of human liver cirrhosis specimens and five human normal liver tissues were studied with immunohistochemical method and in situ hybridization technique. The positive rates of TGF-α and EGF-R were calculated and managed statistically.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Detection of the expressions of TGF-α and EGF-R in liver cirrhosis tissues were detected with immunohistochemical method and in situ hybridization technique.RESULTS: The expression rate of TGF-α and EGF-R in 63 samples of human liver cirrhosis tissues was 84% (53/63)and 52% (33/63) respectively. These positive granules were brown and most of them were in cytoplasm of hepatocytes.There was significantly positive correlation between TGF-α and EGF-R (r =0.32,P ＜ 0.05). In five normal liver tissues,TGF-α and EGF-R were not detectable in hepatocytes and bile ducts. In situ hybridization showed the levels of TGF-αmRNA and EGF-R mRNA were higher (86%, 54%) than those of immunohistochemistry. There was no significant difference between two detective methods (P＞0.05).CONCLUSrON: Liver cirrhosis might be under the autocrine regulation of TGF-α/EGF-R. Increasing expression of TGF-αand EGF-R might be one of important factors in liver cirrhosis pathogenesis.
