Objective To investigate the effect of stellate ganglion block combined with morphine sustainedrelease tablets for controlling pain of advanced lung cancer.Methods 90 cases with advanced lung cancer were randomly divided into the observation group and control group with 45 cases in each group.The control group was givenmorphine sustained-release tablets,the observation group received combination therapy with stellate ganglion block and morphine sustained-release tablets.The analgesic effects,quality of life scores and adverse reactions of two groups were compared.Results The effective rate of observation group was 93.33 ％ (42/45),which was significantly higher than that of control group 77.78％ (35/45),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.54,P ＜ 0.05).The morphine consumption of observation group was significantly less than that of control group(t =9.11,P ＜ 0.05),duration of analgesia was significantly longer than that of control group (t =6.72,P ＜ 0.05).Quality of life score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(Z =3.61,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 17.78％ (8/45),which was significantly lower than that of the control group 46.67％ (21/45),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.54,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Stellate ganglion block combined with morphine sustained-release tablets for controlling pain of advanced lung cancer can significantly improve analgesia,reduce morphine consumption and adverse reactions,is worthy of clinical application.

AIM:The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the ratio of transcription factors T-bet/GATA-3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)and the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cytokines from patients with asthma,and to examine whether and how CpG ODN intervention would restore the imbalanced Th1/Th2 profile in asthma patients.METHODS:Three groups of subjects with asthma(asthma group),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD group),and normal controls(control group)were included in this study.T-bet,GATA-3 and TLR9 mRNA levels were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Th1 cytokine IFN-? and Th2 cytokines IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 were measured by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay(ELISA)in asthma group.Cultured PBMCs from asthma patients with CpG ODN incubation were collected for measuring T-bet,GATA-3 mRNA and TLR9 mRNA.RESULTS:The ratio of T-bet/GATA-3 in asthma group was significantly lower than that in the COPD group and control group.The serum levels of IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 had positive correlation with the ratio of T-bet/GATA-3 in asthmatic patients,and the lower serum level of IFN-? had negative correlation with the ratio.The TLR9 mRNA expression in asthma was significantly attenuated than that in COPD group and control group.Consequently,the ratio of T-bet/GATA-3 in CpG group was significantly enhanced than that in control group.CONCLUSION:These results indicate that the ratio of T-bet/GATA-3 in asthma is decreased and could represent the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cells.CpG ODN influences the ratio of T-bet/GATA-3,upregulating the T-bet mRNA expression and downregulating the GATA-3 mRNA expression,which is able to reverse the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cells.CpG-ODN may be a promising therapeutic target for asthma.

Objective:To explore the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)-based multidisciplinary collaboration model on shortening the time of forbidden eating before receiving surgery, provide the basis for the selection of the preoperative diet prohibition scheme.Methods:From January 2017 to February 2019, a total of 384 patients who received the operation in Qingdao Municipal Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The patients who under the traditional preoperative diet prohibition scheme were taken as the control group(156 cases) while those who under the multidisciplinary cooperation mode nursing under the concept of eras were taken as the experimental group(228 cases). The experimental group formulated the perioperative diet prohibition process according to the guidelines of eras, and the experimental group carried out the perioperative diet management for the patients according to the procedure. The difference between the two groups in the time of fasting, hunger, thirst incidence, insulin resistance, temporary stop will be observed and compared.Results:The time of fasting was (4.01±1.55) h in the experimental group and (10.12±1.57) h in the control group,there was significant difference between the two groups( t value was -1.65, P < 0.01). The incidences of thirst,hunger were 13.2%(30/228), 11.8%(27/228) in the experimental group and 89.7%(140/156), 87.2%(136/156) in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups(χ 2 values were 220.20, 215.20, P < 0.01). The levels of insulin resistance on the first and third day after operation were 1.85 ± 0.43,1.52±0.61 in the experimental group and 1.99±0.51, 1.67±0.49 in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -2.90, -2.56, P < 0.05).The temporary stop rate was 1.75%(4/228) in the experimental group and 7.69%(12/156) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant( χ2 value was 8.19, P<0.01). Conclusions:The ERAS-based multidisciplinary collaboration model can effectively shorten the preoperative fasting time, reduce the level of insulin resistance, reduce the incidence of hunger and thirst, and improve the rate of temporary stop and adjustment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the status quo and influence factors of self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and self-efficacy of diabetes patients' that participated in community diabetes self management group.

METHODSBeijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Zhejiang were selected as the study sites considering patients management experiences they had. 1 401 adult diabetes patients were recruited from communities via health records system screening, telephone notification, poster advertisement, letters invitation ways. Face to face questionnaire survey was applied to obtain patients' general information, diabetes history, diabetes knowledge awareness, SMBG, and self-efficacy information. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between factors and self efficacy.

RESULTSThere were 519 male patients (37.0%) and 882 female patients (63.0%) with an average age of (64.9 ± 8.9) years old. Patients lived in city accounted for 48.0% (672/1 401) and rural patients accounted for 52.0% (729/1 401). Patients who conducted SMBG accounted for 79.9% (1 120/1 401) and 33.3% (446/1 401) patients conducted blood glucose monitoring 1-3 times per month. Rural patients, primary school educated, and new rural cooperative medical system (NCMS) covered patients had a higher proportion of never conducting SMBG which were 21.9% (160/729), 24.2% (160/662), and 26.3% (125/475) , respectively. Scores of self-efficacy was (69.24 ± 16.30) (hundred-mark system) with a relative lower score in monitoring of blood glucose (64.09 ± 20.08) and foot care (63.63 ± 21.40), as well as a highest score in taking medicine and insulin injections (76.10 ± 22.00). Multiple regression analysis on self-efficacy and its related factors show a negative correlation between patients' place of residence and self-efficacy (β' = -0.076) and a positive correlation between education and self-efficacy (β' = 0.114) as well as between diabetes knowledge awareness and self-efficacy (β' = 0.193)(t = -2.46, 3.71, 7.18, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCommunity diabetes patients had a low self-efficacy and it was even lower among low economic and education degree patients. The worst parts were SMBG and foot care. Place of residence, education, and diabetes knowledge awareness are factors that influence patients' self efficacy.
