Effective treatments of acute ischemic stroke include the specialist wards (stroke units) with multidisciplinary treatment team receiving treatment and intravenous thrombolytic therapy.However,only a few patients can receive these treatments.Telestroke can improve the thrombolytic rate of acute ischemic stroke on site in hospitals for lacking of specialists and enable stroke care maintained at a high level in rural areas.This article reviews telestroke in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and the roles of nurses in telestroke.

Objective:To explore the relationship among professional psychological help-seeking intention,mental symptoms,and self-efficacy in adults.Methods:Totally 618 adult samples[286 males and 332 females,304 early adulthood (18-35 years) and 314 middle adulthood (36-60 years)] were selected on the internet.They were assessed with the Intention of Seeking Counseling Inventory (ISCI),Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) to evaluate professional psychological help-seeking intention,mental symptom and self-efficacy respectively.Results:Females and middle adulthood subjects got higher ISCI scores than males and early adulthood subjects [(82.7 ± 6.7) vs.(77.8 ± 7.8),(83.9 ± 6.2) vs.(76.8 ± 7.3);Ps ＜ 0.001].Step linear regression analysis showed that age,scores of self-efficiency,horror and obsessive-compulsive symptoms had positive prediction effect on help-seeking intention (3 =0.34,0.29,0.10,0.11).Mental symptoms,hostility and paranoia had negative prediction effect on help-seeking intention (β =-0.17,-0.15,-0.11),and the 7 variables could explain 45.6％ of the variation.Conclusion:It suggests that the adults' professional psychological help-seeking intention may be related to subject age,mental symptom and self-efficiency.

Objective To explore motivation alteration influencing factors of internet addiction disorder (IAD) undergraduates.Methods The study sampled randomly 793 undergraduates from China University.According to CIAS-R and Young's internet addiction diagnostic criteria,a total of 37 internet addicts were selected.Internet addiction survey was used to study the motivation alteration influencing factors of IAD undergraduates.Results (1) The negative effect of internet using on academy,personal relationship etc.(damage from internet using) had a significant positive correlation with motivation alteration (r =0.672,0.699,0.658,P ＜ 0.01 ; r =0.653,0.673,0.628,P ＜ 0.01 ; r =0.604,0.681,0.703,P ＜ 0.01).(2) Benefit from psychological satisfactory level of internet using had no significant difference with motivation alteration.(3) Self-efficiency of behavioral control on using internet had a significant negative correlation with motivation alteration (r =-0.397,-0.370,P ＜0.05).Conclusion The motivation alteration of IAD undergraduates is influenced by the factors of damage from internet using,sense of achievement,self-efficiency of behavioral control on using internet and so on.

The specific functions, stimulating methods and ranges of clinical application of Renying (ST 9) are explored. Because Renying (ST 9) is located in the neck which is a dangerous area, it is perilous if the acupoint is stimulated, so it is mostly forbidden in the past dynasties. In recent years, the main stimulating methods for Renying (ST 9) include acupuncture and press. The keys of acupuncture are to apply correct technique of needle insertion and control the depth and direction of needle. The keys of press are focused on strength and time of press. Renying (ST 9) is effective for vertigo, palpitation, asthma, hemiplegia, aphasia, hysteria, acute attack of pain, hyperplasia of mammary, continuous hiccup, disorder of throat and so on. As long as the acupoint location is accurate, manipulation is careful and stimulating method is correct, not only the safety could be guaranteed, but also the function can be well-played in clinical application.

Objective To investigate the peripheral blood Th17 and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cell levels and their correlations in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC).Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from 30 PHC patients and 25 healthy controls in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from June 2008 to May 2009.Mononuclear cells were isolated and the Th17 and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells were detected by flow cytometry and compared between patients and controls by t test.Spearman test was performed to analyze the correlation of Th17 with CD4 + CD25 +regulatory T cell concentrations.Results The levels of Th17 and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells in peripheral blood in healthy controls were (2.10 ± 0.87) ％ and (7.10 ± 2.32) ％ ; while those in PHC patients were (3.38±1.68)％ and (11.78±5.62)％ (t=3.640 and 4.162,P＜0.01).The level of Th17 cells was positively associated with that of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells in PHC patients (r =0.821,P ＜0.01).Conclusion The levels of Th17 and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells in peripheral blood are high in PHC patients and positively correlated with each other,which indicates that CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells may contribute to the disease progression and pathogenesis of carcinoma through inducing Th17 cells differentiation.

Objective To investigate haemodynamic change during hemodialysis and analyze effects of cardiac index (CI) on hemodynamic parameters and associated influencing factors in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods Seventy-five patients bearing an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) entered the study.Cardiac output (CO),cardiac index (CI),central blood volume (CBV) and peripheral vascular resistance (PR) were determined by ultrasound dilution technique at the end of 1 hour,2 hours and 3 hours of dialysis.AVF blood flow (Qa) was also measured with the same device before haemodynamic parameters investigation.Results Mean age of patients was (55.84 ±12.39) years old (range 21-81 years) and 43 patients (57.3％) were female.Systolic arterial pressure,SV,CO,CI and CBV were significantly declined and no significant change for diastolic arterial pressure and heart rates at the end of 2 hour and 3 hour hemodialysis,whereas PR was increased gradually during hemodialysis.Patients were divided into there groups with CI less than 2.5 L·min 1·(m2)-1,2.5-4.2 L·min-1·(m2)-1 and more than 4.2 L·min-1 ·(m2)-1 at the end of 1 hour dialysis.Statistically significant decreasing SV,CO and increasing PR were detected in patients with CI＜2.5 L·min-1· (m2)-1 and 2.5-4.2 L· min-1· (m2)-1,compared with CI＞4.2 L·min-1· (m2)-1 group (P＜0.01).The hemodynamic change was the most obvious in the group of CI less than 2.5 L· min-1· (m2) 1,and no significant changes happened in CI＞4.2 L·min-1 ·(m2)-1 group.Some factors were found to be associated to CI values.Qa and systolic arterial pressure had positive relationship with CI,while age and diabetes had negative relationship with CI.Conclusions Systolic arterial pressure,CO,CI and CBV decrease and PR increases during hemodialysis.Obvious change occurs when CI is less than 2.5 L·min-1· (m2)-1.CI is associated with Qa,systolic arterial pressure,age and diabetes.
