BACKGROUND:So far there are many studies about the uses of nano-carbon tracers in the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies. However, little has been reported on the mechanism underlying protective effect of nano-carbon tracers on the parathyroid glands during thyroid cancer surgery. OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of nano-carbon tracers on the parathyroid in thyroid cancer surgery. METHODS:180 cases of thyroid cancer were randomly divided into nano-carbon and control groups (n=90 per group):patients in the nano-carbon group were injected with nano-carbon tracers into the thyroid before surgery, and those in the control group underwent routine thyroid cancer surgery. Then comparisons of the operating time, incision length, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, number of lymph node dissection, lymph node metastasis as wel as hypoparathyroidism rate were performed between two groups. Besides, levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone in the two groups were detected at 3 days after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences in the operating time, incision length, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and lymph node metastasis between the two groups (P>0.05). The number of dissected lymph nodes of nano-carbon group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05);the mis-resection rate of parathyroid and hypoparathyroidism of nano-carbon group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the incidences of hypocalcemia and low parathyroid hormone of nano-carbon group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05). These results suggest that the nano-carbon tracer plays a protective role on the parathyroid glands in thyroid cancer surgery, which can reduce the mis-resection rate of parathyroid, as wel as the incidences of hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia and low-level parathyroid hormone.

Objective To investigate the cognition and attitude towards the elderly family nursing among nurses and college students in Chengde, and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A total of 1000 college students and nurses in Chengde were investigated by self-designed questionnaire about their cognition and attitude to elderly family nursing. Results Nurses' cognition and attitude towards the elderly family nursing was better than nursing college students, medical students were better than non-medical students; and there was no statistical significance about their expectation for government's senior citizen service among different groups. Conclusions More attention should be paid to family members' attitudetowards the elderly home care, and should strengthen the elderly family care through various way.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of deoxys chizandrin and schisantherrin A in Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis. Methods The as say was conducted on a YWG-C18 column with methonal-water (77 ∶23) as mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and detection wavelength was 230 nm. Results Satisfactory linearities of deoxyschizandrin and schisantherrin A were shown in the range of 0.125～1.25 ?g and 0.08～0.8 ?g,and the recovery was 100.1 %an d 100.0 %(RSD being 0.15 %and 0.28 %。Schisandra sphenanthcra),and 99.7 %an d 101.2 %(RSD being 0.32 %and 0.67 %。Schisandra chinensis) (n=5). Conclusion The HPLC method was simple,curate,highly sensitive and reproducible. It may b e used for the quantitative determination of deoxyschizandrin and schisantherrin A in Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis.

Objective To explore the program of cultivating the nursing master students according to the present situation of China.Methods Delphi method was used in this study.Results In the type of scientific research,the order were the basic knowledge of nursing,clinical knowledge,research ability,ability of adapting society,teaching,management and the community nursing ability.In the type of clinic,the order were the basic knowledge of nursing,clinical knowledge,ability of adapting society,management,research ability,teaching and the community nursing ability.Conclusion According to the present situation of our country,the basic knowledge of nursing and the clinical skills should not be ignored.

The actions of four organic acids in Radix isatidis, a traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herb, on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae growth were investigated by microcalorimetry. The four organic acids were syringic acid, 2-amino-benzoic acid, salicylic acid and benzoic acid. The power-time curves of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae growth with and without organic acids were acquired, meanwhile the extent and duration of inhibitory effects on the metabolism were evaluated by growth rate constants (k1, k2), maximum heat-output[0] power (P(m)) and peak time (t(m)). The inhibitory activity varied with different drugs. The sequences of anti-microbial activity of the four organic acids on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae were all: syringic acid > 2-amino-benzoic acid > salicylic acid > benzoic acid. And benzoic acid promoted the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. This study provides a basis for the further study on Radix Isatidis.
