Objective To evaluate the effect of community nurse training in peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) on community nursing quality of tumour patients with indwelled PICC during the intermission of chemotherapy.Methods A prospective study was performed with a total of 220 patients with esophageal or lung cancer enrolled from September 2011 to March 2013 in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.The 220 patients included 174 males (79.1％) and 46 females (20.9％),at the age of (61.1 ±9.0) years.With the start of community nurse training as the cut-off line,the patients were divided into pre-training group (n =119) and post-training group (n =101).PICC-related complications and patient satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups.Results The overall PICC-related complication rate was 20.9％ (46/220) during community nursing,including,in the order of declining incidence,infection (7.2％,16/220),and venous thrombosis (4.5％,10/220),catheter occlusion (3.6％,8/220),catheter dropping (2.7％,6/220),and leaking/damage (2.7％,6/220).The total complication rate and incidence of infection in the post-training group were both significantly lower than those in the pre-training group (14.9％ vs.26.1％,P =0.047 ; 3.0％ vs.10.9％,P =0.035),and patient satisfaction (including satisfaction for answers to questions about PICC,feelings about PICC indwelling and PICC position,and overall satisfaction) was significantly higher than in the pre-training group (P =0.003,P =0.011,P =0.001).Conclusion Community nurse training programmes have positive effects on improving PICC-related nursing and patient satisfaction in cancer patients with PICC indwelling during intermissions of chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Most of the dental metal repair materials contacting Ti implants will cause galvanic corrosion and local environment with positive electricity on the implant interface, which directly affects the status of the tissues, especially bone resorption.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the galvanic corrosion of commercially pure Ti (TA2 type) coupled with Au alloy, CoCr alloy, Ti alloy, and NiCr alloy in vitro. METHODS: Circuit of commercially pure Ti contacting with Au alloy, CoCr alloy, Ti alloy, and NiCr alloy was simulated in vitro in artificial saliva, and the common potential and galvanic current in 15 hours were recorded to draw current-time curves. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The galvanic current became stable after 8 hours of contacting. The galvanic current was the greatest in Ti/Au, followed by Ti/CoCr, Ti/Ti alloy, and then Ti/NiCr. Results indicated that the galvanic corrosion of the couple of Ti and Au alloy is the lowest. Au alloy is the most suitable material for implant superstructure. The galvanic corrosion of the couple of Ti and NiCr alloy is the highest, so NiCr alloy is not acceptable for implant superstructure.

Objective To test the serum albumin level in patients having the peritoneal dialysis,and investigate its relationship with C-reactive protein(CRP)level or other inflammatory complications. Methods Sixty patients having peritoneal dialysis treatment were divided into two groups based on the serum albumin(ALB)level,patients had normal ALB level were included into group A,while the patients with serum hypoproteinemia were included into group B. The serum level of CRP,transferin(TF)and nutritional status were compared between two groups,and their relationship with clinical complications were evaluated. Results The serum CRP level in patients of group B(8.40 ± 1.32)mg/L was significantly higher than group A(2. 14 ±0.87)mg/L(P ＜0. 01). Patients from group B had more inflammation complications,such as peritonitis(6. 7%),pneumonia(13. 3%),cardiovascular disease(16.7%). Conclusions The continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients accompanied with hypoproteinemia are more likely to have inflammation complications and cardiovascular diseases,which should cause more attention on their malnutrition-inflammation- CVD(MIA)syndrome diagnosis and treatment.

AIM:To study effects of resveratrol on osteoprotegerin(OPG)and receptor activator of NF-?B ligand(RANKL)expression in femur of ovariectomized rats.METHODS:48 female SD rats(3 months old)were assigned into 6 groups randomly:sham-operated group(SHAM);ovariectomized group(OVX);17?-estradiol replacement therapy group(ERT,0.1 mg?kg-1?d-1,sc);high-dose resveratrol-treate group(RH,40 mg?kg-1?d-1,i.p.);middle-dose resveratrol-treated group(RM,20 mg?kg-1?d-1,i.p.);low-dose resveratrol-treated group(RL,10 mg?kg-1?d-1,i.p.).Except for SHAM group,rats in other groups were operated by bilateral ovariectomy.Administration started at the 8th day after operation and lasted 8 weeks.At the end of the 9th week after operation,all rats were sacrificed.The bone mineral density(BMD)and vitodynamics properties(including ELASTIC,M-STRESS,M-LORD and STIFFNESS)of femurs were measured.The expression of OPG and RANKL in femurs of rats were observed by immunohistochemical staining methods.RESULTS:Compared with OVX group,resveratrol treatment(40 mg?kg-1?d-1 and 20 mg?kg-1?d-1)increased expression of OPG in femurs while decreased expression of RANKL in ovariectmized rats.In RH,RM,and ERT group,BMD,ELASTIC,M-STRESS of femurs were higher than those of OVX group.CONCLUSION:Resveratrol increased expression of OPG in femur while decreased expression of RANKL in ovariectmized rats,which was probably one of mechanism that resveratrol improve osteoporosis.

Metabolic disturbances such as hypertension and insulin resistence,as well as cardiovascular events are more frequent in primary aldosteronism patients than in essential hypertension patients.When the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is made,more attention should be paid to the associated metabolic disturbances and cardiovascular events,which may benefit the prognosis of patients.

Objective To explore the nutritional status of vitamin D among healthy adults lived in Fuling district of Chongqing .Methods A total of 718 healthy adults aged 23-90 years old undergoing the physical examination in the physical ex‐amination center of our hospital from March 2012 to December 2013 were selected and divided into the 23-44 years old group and the ≥45 years old group .The tandem mass spectrometer was adopted to detect the level of serum 25(OH) vitamin D for evaluating the nutritional status of vitamin D .Results The proportions of lack ,insufficiency ,normal and excess of vitamin D in the 23 -44 years old group were 80 .79% ,19 .21% ,0% and 0% respectively ;which in the ≥45 years old group were 77 .91% ,18 .20% ,3 . 89% and 0% respectively .The average level of serum 25(OH) vitamin D in 23-44 years old group was lower than that in the ≥45 years old group ,the difference was statistically significant (P=0 .002 ,t=1 .98) .In these two groups ,the difference in serum 25 (OH) vitamin D level between males and females had no statistical significance (P>0 .05) .Conclusion The healthy adults in Ful‐ing district are lack of vitamin D in different degrees .

Serial sections of human embryos and the brain stem together with cerebellum offetuses, young and adults were studied by Cajal I and Nissl methods for demonstratingthe development and connections of mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. It was found that at C.R. 12.4 mm the mesencephalic root with some scattered cellgroups made its appearance along the sulcus limitus from the entrance of the trigeminalnerve up to the isthmus region. At C.R. 56mm it extended into the midbrain regionand the base of the cerebellum. Later on, the root cells differentiated in a caudo-rostraldirection. They were therefore somewhat larger in its caudal part than those in the ros-tral. With the increase of age the morphology of the mesencephalic root cells alsochanged from the fetal multipolar type to the adult unipolar. The present study confirm the previous observations that the mesencephalic root hadconnections with some cranial nerves and the cerebellum. And in addition, some scat-tered mesencephalic root cells were found in the posterior commissure, in its nucleus andin the interstitial nucleus. Discussion on their functional significance were made.

17 young healthy rabbits weighing from 520 to 720 gins,ageing 38～48 postnatal days,were used for this study.Seven to fourteen days following spinal lesions at diffe- rent levels the animals were killed and serial transverse sections of thc brain stem were stained with thionin,the retrograde cell degenerations within the red nucleus were studied. An analysis of the chromatolysis indicates that the rubrospinal fibers are largely crossed and a few fibers to the cervical cord are uncrossed.Furthermore,a somatotopical localization exists within the contralateral red nucleus with respect to the rubrospinal tract,i.e.the cervical projections of the fibers system take origin from the dorsal part of the red nucleus almost throughout its whole extent,the thoracic projections from the ventral part of the caudal five-sixths of the red nucleus,and the lumbar projections from the centro-ventral part of the caudal third of the nucleus. It also indicates that all types of cells in the red nucleus,not only the large ones, give rise to the rubrospinal tract.The spinal porjections of this fiber tract may descend as far as the lumbar cord.
