Objective To explore the influence of catheterization for urinary tract infections and the importance of humanistic nursing. Methods Totally 248 patients who were admitted into our hospital from February 2013 to April 2014 were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group (117 cases) were given spray fungicide and regular disinfection of urethra by nursing staff, and patients in the observation group (131 cases) were nursed by themselves or their family after been taught the way of spraying fungicide and cleaning. Ana-lyzed the psychological status, routine urine, urinary tract infections, nursing job satisfaction of the patients, and the relevant data were ana-lyzed by SPSS 17. 0 software. Results The third day after placing urinary catheter urethra, the relevant nursing can reduce the rate of urina-ry tract infections in patients. the difference of the two groups was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The rate of urinary tract infections at the seventh day after placing urinary catheter urethra was 39. 69% in the observation group and 41. 03% in the control group, the difference of the two groups was not statistically significant (P >0. 05). Infection rate of male patients (29. 01%) is higher than female patients (10. 69%). The satisfaction rate of urethra care in the observation group was 87. 79%, and the satisfaction rate of other project were all higher than 92. 5%. The satisfaction rate of urinary tract nursing check in the control group was 79. 49%, and the satisfaction rate of nurse-patient communication was 83. 76%. It was found that the difference of communication between nurses and patients, service attitude and the urethra care were statistically significant. Conclusion It can reduce the rate of urinary tract infection after placing urinary catheter in pa-tients for 7 days and nursed by patients themselves with spraying fungicide and cleaning. Strengthen the humanistic nursing care can improve nursing satisfaction.

BACKGROUND:Stem cels are induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cels that can be used for the treatment of diabetic lower extremity vascular disease. However, it is unclear whether these endothelial-like cels can completely replace endothelial cels to improve vascular disease and what are the differences between endothelial-like cels and endothelial cels. OBJECTIVE:To explore the differences and similarities between endothelial-like cels and human umbilical vein endothelial cels in the aspects of morphology, function, and viability. METHODS:Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels and umbilical vein endothelial cels were isolated, cultured and identified using flow cytometry and immunohistochemical method. Isolated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were induced in DMEM-LG/F12 containing 10 μg/L vascular endothelial growth factor, 10 μg/L basic
fibroblast growth factor and 2% fetal bovine serum to differentiate into endothelial-like cels folowed by immunohistochemical identification. To compare endothelial-like cels with human umbilical vein endothelial cels, cel migration detection, active substance measurement and three-dimensional angiogenesis test were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Isolated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels strongly expressed the surface markers of mesenchymal stem cels, and human umbilical vein endothelial cels strongly expressed CD31 and VWF. After induction, the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were identified to highly express CD31 and VWF. Through cel migration, active substance and three-dimensional angiogenesis tests, endothelial-like cels were similar to endothelial cels in the function and activity, and superior to endothelial cels.
