The mainstay of nonpharmacological therapy of chronic heart failure patients is low sodium diet. This paper introduced the modified and unmodified influencing factors of patient compliance to low-sodium diet in chronic heart failure patients in order to provide new clues for the development of patient compliance.

Objective We aimed to compare the critical thinking ability between clinical nurses and college nursing students at different grades so as to provide scientific references for reform in nursing education and nursing practice. Methods A total of 287 clinical nurses and 656 nurses in grade one and grade three underwent the investigation by adopting Chinese version of critical thinking disposition inventory (CTDI-CV). Results The total scores of CTDI-CV of nursing students in grade one, nursing students in grade three and clinical nurses were (292.82±26.41), (284.71±26.20) and (290.58±24.87). Statistical difference existed between these groups. The scores of open-mindedness, inquisitiveness and maturity of judgement of nursing students in grade one and grade three were higher than that of the clinical nurses, while the scores of systematicity and self-confidence of critical thinking were less than that of the clinical nurses. Conclusions The current nursing education system needs further reform. At the same time we should also promote the transform of modern clinical nursing model.

Objective To investigate the joint action mechanism of structural empowerment, psychological empowerment and job satisfaction of nursing staff in China,and probe into a joint action mechanism of such structure and empowerment on their satisfaction.Methods Totally 300 nurse specialists from secondary and tertiary hospitals in Anhui province were selected in a convenience sampling for investigation,by means of a general information questionnaire,Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire,Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaires-Ⅱ and Psychological Empowerment Scale.Results The nurses′job satisfaction were positively associated with both their total scoring and individual dimensions of the structural empowerment and psychological empowerment.As shown in the structural equation modeling,the model (the pathway from structural empowerment to nurses′ job satisfaction and the mediating effect of psychological empowerment are significant)fitted the data well. Conclusions Nursing managers can use the empowerment theory to fully leverage their management advantages,creating a desirable environment for the nursing staff at large.

Objective:To explore the application effect of three mode pre-rehabilitation strategy in gastric cancer patients after laparoscopic radical operation and its effect on the recovery of physical function and quality of life after operation.Methods:Totally 96 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic-assisted radical gastric cancer surgery admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2019 to September 2020 were divided into control group (48 cases) and observation group (48 cases) by the random number table. Finally two cases in control group were excluded. The control group received gastric cancer regular preoperative health guidance, the observation group received trimodal pre-habilitation strategy for 6-8 days on the basis of the control group. The perioperative indicators and complications were compared between the two groups. The 36-item Health Survey Summary (SF-36) scores were measured before and after intervention.Results:The first postoperative exhaust time, first out of bed time, first oral meal time, hospital stay in the observation group were (61.49 ± 6.71) hours, (19.54 ± 6.13) hours, (71.23 ± 6.79) days, (5.62 ± 1.03) days, which lower than (79.21 ± 8.15) hours, (22.95 ± 7.19) hours, (78.95 ± 7.21) days, (6.64 ± 1.17) days in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant between the two group ( t values were 2.48-11.53, all P<0.05). The incidence of complications was 6.25% (3/48) in the observation group and 21.74% (10/46) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( χ2=8.72, P<0.05). At 1 d before operation and 30 d after operation, the average scores of SF-36 were (68.74 ± 8.02), (65.85 ± 7.44) points in the observation group and (60.73 ± 7.43), (61.04 ± 6.85) points in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.02, 3.26, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative three mode pre-rehabilitation training for gastric cancer patients is beneficial to improving the state of exercise, nutrition and immune function, speeding up postoperative gastrointestinal function and overall rehabilitation, reducing the incidence of postoperative complications and improving the quality of life of patients.

This paper aims to study the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on multidrug resistant human gastric cancer cells in the cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis, and to study the apoptosis-inducing pathway. Different dilutions of extract were used to process human multidrug resistant gastric cancer SGC7901/ADR cells. Cell proliferation inhibition phenomenon was determined by MTT experiment. Nuclear morphological changes of apoptotic cells and apoptotic indexes were observed and determined by Hochest33528 staining followed with fluorescence microscope observing. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis rate. Cell migration and invasion ability were observed and determined by Transwell method. Spectrophotometry was used to detect caspase-3 and caspase-9 enzyme activity. Western blotting was used to detect subcellular distribution of cytochrome c. The results showed that extract had obvious inhibition effect on proliferation of gastric cancer multidrug resistant SGC7901/ADR cells, which was time- and concentration-dependent. After processing multidrug resistant gastric cancer SGC7901/ADR cells with extract, the apoptotic index and apoptosis rate were significantly increased than those in the control group, which showed a time- and dose-dependent mode; but if a caspase inhibitor was added, apoptosis index was not obviously increased. Transwell method showed that migration and invasion ability of the extract-processed SGC7901/ADR cells dropped significantly. Spectrophotometry showed that in extract-processed SGC7901/ADR cells, caspase-3 and caspase-9 expression were increased, which had significant differences with the control group. Western blotting test showed that the distribution of cytochrome c decreased in mitochondria, while increased in the cytoplasm (i.e., cytochrome c escaped from mitochondria to the cytoplasm). In conclusion, extract could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion, and induce apoptosis in human gastric cancer multidrug resistant SGC7901/ADR cells; and cytochrome c, caspase-9 and caspase-3 might be involved in cell apoptosis induced by extract, suggesting endogenous or mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.
