Objective To explore psychological experience of nurses as the relatives of patients with malignant tumors in order to carry out mental care to malignant tumor patients as well as their family members. Method Nine nurses whose family members were malignant cancer patients were interviewed. Results As the relatives of malignant cancer patients, all the nine nurses presented with anxiety and fear. They were lack of ways to relieve negative emotions, desperate for more information and worried uncertainties about future and medical fees. Conclusion In order to offer better nursing experience, it is necessary for nurses to change ideas and improve recognition in order to establish a psychological supportive system for patients′ relatives in different phases and a social supportive system and fulfill their requirements for knowledge, which can thus help patients and their relatives out of the predicament.

Objective To discuss the nursing for the different postoperative residual urine of patient with pelvic floor dysfunction.Method To evaluate the nursing for the postoperative residual urine of patient with pelvic floor dysfunction and the time of urinary catheters inserted,We completed a retrospective review of 138 adult patients.Results ①Toally 138 participants were categorized into 3 groups:74 (53.6%) patients carried a residual volume < 100ml,53 (38.4%) patient did 100~300ml,11 (8.0%)did >300ml.②About11 patients who were able to void but carried a residual volume >300ml required indwelling catheterization.In these cases,100% carried a residual volume < 100ml after indwelling urinary catheter extraction (IUCE) after 4~5 days.③About 53 patients who were able to void but carried a residual volume between 100ml to 300ml received urine nursing,phychological nursing and bladder function exercise.Two days after IUCE 41 (77.4%) patients' residual volume was <100ml;three days after IUCE 11 (20.7%) patients' residul volume was <100ml;five days 1 patiens' residul volum was <100ml.Conclusion When a postvoid residual>300ml,the patient should be performed catheterization,When a postvoid residual between 100ml to 300ml,the nurse should give the patient mental easing and teach them to perform pelvic floor muscle exercise.This can reduce the suffering of patients.

Objective To explore the cytotoxicity of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induced by SW480 sonicate sensitized dendritic cells (DC) on the colon cancer cell line SW480. Methods PBMC were separated from the HLA-A*0201 donor and DC were cultured with rhGM-CSF, rhIL-4 and rhTNF-α. The same donor's primary CTL were stimulated by DC loaded with SW480 sonicate. The cytotoxicity of CTL on SW480 (HLA-A*0201 positive) and K562 (HLA-A*0201 negative) was determined by the MTT method. Results The cytotoxicity of the CTL on SW480 was stronger than that on K562 (P <0.05). Conclusion The DC vaccine can stimulate specific CTL which can trigger cytotoxic activity on the target cells and this cytotoxicity is related to MHC restriction.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of renal lesion in Fechtner syndrome . Methods Pathological characteristics of kidney tissues from Fechtner syndrome patients were explored by HE staining, immunochemistry, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy . Results Immunochemistry analysis showed that non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA)was expressed in podocytes of giomeruli and distal convoluted tube, and was faintly expressed in the brush border of proximal tube . Histological examination demonstrated glomerulosclerosis and decreased expression of NMMHC-IIA in abnormal podocytes . Through standard immunofluorecence, the expression of NMMHC-IIA in patient's podocyte was higher than that in normal pedocytes . The fusion of foot process and microvillus were detected by electron microscopy . Conclusion Abnormal NMMHC-IIA aggregates in the glomeruli podocyts and foot process fusion accompanied with appearance of microvillus leads to renal lesion in Fechtuer syndrome .

Objective To judge the effect of plasma exchange (PE) to the patients with severe hepatopath of nonage according to evaluating the change of the liver function of reserve with 13C-methacetin breath test. Methods There are two groups: the case group and the control group. Each group has 30 patients. The patients in the case group were treated by PE. All the patients received 13C-methacetin breath test at before or one week after treatment. MVmax40, CUM40 and CUM120 were present. At the same time, clinical symptoms, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBiL) and prethrombin active (PTA) were observed. Results MVmax40, CUM40, CUM120 and PTA were higher, ALT and TBiL were lower in the case group after treatment (t=4.679, 4.752, 5.048, 5.413, 6.208, 7.413, P=0.000,P<0.01). After a week, MVmax40, CUM40, CUM120 and PTA were higher, ALT and TBiL were lower in the case group than that in the control group (t=2.260, 2.247, 2.476, 4.017, 3.250, 3.658, P<0.05). The total effective rates in the case group and the control group were 83.3 % (25/30) and 43.3 % (13/30),which are significant different(χ2 10.335,P<0.01). Conclusion PE can im-prove the liver reservation functionin the severe hepatopath of nonage.

Objective To study the expressions of HSP70 and AQP4 in the H.Pylori-associated gastritis mice of Pi-Wei hygropyrexia syndrome;To investigate the mechanism of Mieyou Soup. Methods The mice were randomly divided into high concentration of Mieyou Soup group, low concentration of Mieyou Soup group, gastric triad group, model group and control group. BALB/c mice of H.Pylori-associated gastritis mice of Pi-Wei hygropyrexia syndrome model was established by composite factor. After modeling, the mice were administered for of continuous 14 days. The drug dosage of high concentration of Mieyou Soup group, low concentrations of Mieyou Soup group, and gastric triad group were 12.4, 6.2 g/kg, and 0.279 8 mg/kg, respectively. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of HSP70 protein, and immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of AQP4 protein. Results Compared with control group, the expression of HSP70 and AQP4 in model group significantly increased (P<0.05);compared with the model group, the HSP70 in high concentration of Mieyou Soup group, low concentrations of Mieyou Soup group, gastric triad group increased, the AQP4 in high concentration of Mieyou Soup group, low concentrations of Mieyou Soup group, gastric triad group decreased, with statistical significance (P<0.01). Conclusion Mieyou Soup may play a role in treatment of H.Pylori-associated gastritis mice of Pi-Wei hygropyrexia syndrome by raising the expression of HSP70, and reducing the expression of AQP4 protein expression.

Objective To observe the effect of heat needle treatment on the inflammatory reaction in the damaged tissues of rats with the third lumbar transverse process syndrome. Methods Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, namely normal group, model group, drug group, heat needle group, conventional acupuncture group and warming acup-moxibustion group, 15 rats in each group. The rat model of the third lumbar syndrome was established by embedding gelatin sponge. Two weeks later, the rats in various groups were given corresponding treatment respectively. Before treatment and on the 7th, 14th and 28th day of treatment, the blood samples were collected from jugular vein, and then the serum inflammatory cytokines of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). On the 28th day of treatment, all of the rats were sacrificed, the expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 mRNA in the muscle tissue were detected by reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and the pathological changes in local muscle tissue were observed by HE staining method. Results The serum contents of the inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the model group and treatment groups after modeling were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in various treatment groups were decreased significantly as compared with those in the model group, and the decrease was most obvious in the heat needle group. The expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in muscle tissues of drug group, heat needle group, conventional acupuncture group and warming acup-moxibustion group were lower than those of the model group (P < 0.05), and the heat needle group had the lowest levels. HE staining results showed that heat needle group had milder inflammatory reaction and better muscle fiber structure than the model group. Conclusion Heat needle treatment can improve the local inflammatory response and promote the repair of tissue damage through decreasing the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6.
