Objective: To study the subjective of well-being and influential factors of medical chronic inpatients. Methods: 322 chronic pulmonary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease' inpatients were tested by Index of Well-Being, SAS, T-AI and SDS. Results: ①The sense of Well-Being of these patients was obviously higher than the healthy people, and the sense of well- being of hypertension and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease' inpatients was better than other groups. ② By multi-variable stepwise regression analysis, the T-AI was the most powerful negative influential factor on the Subjective Well-being of the chronic patients. Furthermore, it was also closely related to the patients' SDS, the kind of disease and SAS. Conclusions: Since the patients have lower sense of Well-being, and it can be improved by reducing their negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, therefore, the nurses should pay attention to the psychological support of the patients so that their metal status can be improved and also the quality of nursing can be enhanced.

Objective To discuss nursing service and charge in order to establish standard and perfect nursing cost accounting system. Methods Nursing charge was described through analyzing the nursing technology during treatment of long-term hospitalization patients and no charge of disposable items. Results Nursing work was nearly a no-reward technological service, the proportion and the standard of nursing charge was low, the charge of nursing items was incomplete, labor cost was neglected and nursing value could not be really embodied. Conclusions Nursing managers should strengthen the nursing cost management in order to establish perfect and standard nursing cost accounting system.

Aim To explore the effects of hydrocortisone on intracellular calcium in microglial cells.Methods The intracellular calcium was measured by instantaneous scanning with confocal laser microscope(CLM) in BV-2 cells, and fluo3-AM was used to dye the intracellular calcium.Results Both hydrocortisone and nicotine could obviously increase intracellular calcium in BV-2 cells(P<0.05).It was indicated by instantaneous scanning with CLM that hydrocortisone induced the rising of intracellular calcium immediately, and reached the peak about at the fifteenth second, and sustained for 10 seconds, then declined to baseline at 200th second.The effect of hydrocortisone on intracellular calcium exhibited a highly consistency with nicotine.Antagonist of glucocorticoid receptors RU486 could not abolish the rising of intracellular calcium induced by hydrocortisone(P>0.05);but the blocker of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(α7nAChR) methyllycaconitine could suppress the rising of intracellular calcium induced by hydrocortisone(P<0.05).Conclusion Hydrocortisone enhances intracellular calcium via α7nAChR in microglial cells, which not only demonstrates the non-genomic effect of glucocorticoid, but also suggests that glucocorticoid could serve as endogenous ligand of α7nAChR.

Objective:To investigate gender measurement invariance of the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS)in people aged 50 years and older.Methods:A total of 1013 adults(50-96 years old)in Beijing, Hunan and Shandong were tested by using PSSS.The measurement invariance of PSSS between middle-aged and elderly males and females was analyzed.Differences in PSSS total scores and subscale scores between males and females were examined.Results:The equivalence test results of each item in the questionnaire met the requirements of the metrology(△CFI≥0.010, △TLI≥0.010, △RSMEA≤0.015), indicating that the hypotheses of morphological equivalence, weak equivalence, strong equivalence and strict equivalence of PSSS were all valid in the middle-aged and elderly population regardless of gender.In addition, middle-aged and elderly females had higher scores in family support, support from friends, support from other people and perceived social support than their male counterparts( P<0.05). Conclusions:PSSS has cross-gender equivalence in middle-aged and elderly people.Thus, differences in PSSS can reflect the perceived social support level in middle-aged and elderly people of different genders.
