Objective To investigate the pressures from night shifts among nurses from pediatrics department and find the countermeasures.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the pressures from night shifts among 112 nurses from pediatrics department as well as the reasons.Results 110 of the nurses(98.2%) assumed that the pressures from night shifts was intensive.The main reasons for the pressures came out of heavy workload,shortage of staff and stuff and the unsettled balance between job and family.Conclusion Such measures as reasonable distributions of nurses,abound supply of stuff and reduced working links may be effective for the alleviation of the pressures on nurses at night shifts,motivated activeness in them and then the enhancement of nursing quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of stellate ganglion block on the pain and quality of life in patients with lung cancer.Methods 90 patients with lung cancer were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method.The control group was treated with morphine 10mg,orally,1 time/ 12h.The observation group was treated with stellate ganglion block and morphine.For the patients with poor analgesic effect,50％ doses were added gradually.The analgesic effect,quality of life and changes of immune function were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly decreased.And the VAS score reduction in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group [(2.5 ± 0.7) points vs.(3.7 ± 0.9) points],the difference was statistically significant (t =7.060,P ＜ 0.05).The analgesic efficacy of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(91.1％ vs.75.6％,x2 =3.920,P ＜ 0.05),the duration of analgesia of the observation group was longer than that of the control group (t =20.681,P ＜ 0.05).For the total morphine dosage method,the observation group was significantly lower than the control group[(143.5 ± 21.3) mg vs.(238.7 ± 38.3) mg] (t =14.572,P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the scores of quality of life of the two groups were significantly improved,and the improvement degree of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group [(86.5 ± 14.3) vs.(79.6 ± 15.7),t =2.179,P ＜ 0.05].After treatment,the TGF-beta level of the observation group was significantly reduced,which was significantly lower than that of the control group[(215.4 ± 38.7)pg/mL vs.(240.5 ± 41.2)pg/mL],the difference was statistically signifi cant (t =2.979,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Stellate ganglion block has good therapeutic effect in the treatment of lung cancer patients with pain.

This study is to investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of prosapogenin A (PSA) on MCF7. MTT assay was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of PSA on MCF7 cells. PI/Hoechst 33342 double staining was used to detect cell apoptosis. RT-PCR was used to test the mRNA levels of STAT3, GLUT1, HK and PFKL. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of STAT3 and pSTAT3 protein in MCF7 cells. The results showed that PSA could dose-dependently inhibit cell growth of MCF7 followed by IC50 of 9.65 micrmol x L(-1) and promote cell apoptosis of MCF7. Reduced mRNA levels of STAT3, HK and PFKL were observed in MCF7 cells treated with 5 micromol x L(-1) of PSA. PSA also decreased the level of pSTAT3 protein. STAT3 siRNA caused decrease of mRNA of GLUT1, HK and PFKL which indicated STAT3 could regulate the expressions of GLUT1, HK and PFKL. The results suggested that PSA could inhibit cell growth and promote cell apoptosis of MCF7 via inhibition of STAT3 and glycometabolism-related gene.

Short term and long term therapeutic effects were also observed and compared in the two groups.Short term and long term therapeutic effects in Group A were better than those in Group B (P

Objective:To systematically review the teaching effects of flipped classroom (FC) in undergraduate medical education in China.Methods:Such databases as CNKI, VIP Data, and WanFang, were electronically searched for literature of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on FC versus lecture-based learning (LBL) applied in medical education in China up to March, 2018. The included literature were evaluated for the quality, and RevMan5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 26 RCTs were included in the study, including 4 249 students, of whom the FC group had 2 135 cases, while LBL group had 2 114 cases. The students in FC group got significantly higher scores than those of the students in LBL group in the theoretical scores (WMD = 7.81, 95%CI = 5.18 -10.43, P < 0.05), skills tests (WMD = 4.69, 95%CI = 0.65 -8.73, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The FC can significantly improve the teaching results in undergraduate medical education.

Objective To investigate the relationship between amnestic mild cognitive impairment and functional genes associated with hyperphosphorylated tau protein.Methods One hundred and sixteen amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients and 93 normal controls were recruited for the study.Multi-dimension neuropsychologic tests were used to assess the cognitive function extensively.MassARRAY and iPlex systems were used to measure candidate SNP polymorphisms,analyze genotypic,allelic or haplotypic distributions and their interaction with ApoE ε4 and the correlation with the cognitive function in the subjects.Results ( 1 ) The scores of neuropsychologic tests in memory domain ( Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT)-first immediate recall,AVLT-second immediate recall,AVLT-second immediate recall,AVLT-5 minute delayed recall,AVLT-20 minute delayed recall,AVLT-recognition,Rey-Osterrich Comolex Test-delay) in aMCI patients ( 3.0 ( 0-7.0 ),5.0 ( 1.0-10.0),6.0 ( 1.0-11.0 ),4.0 (0-11.0),3.0(0-10.0),20.0(8.0-24.0),11.2 ±8.3) were significantly lower than those in the normal controls(4.0(0-9.0),7.0(2.0-11.0),9.0(3.0-12.0),8.0(0-12.0),8.0(0-12.0),22.0 (10.0-24.0),16.1±8.0) (Z=-3.592,-6.802,-6.408,-8.173,-8.533,-5.647 andt=4.216 respectively,all P ＜0.01 ) ; (2) Genotypic distributions of rs242562 GG in aMCI (7.826％ ) were significantly lower than those in normal controls (20.65％,OR =0.3525,95％ CI 0.1411-0.8807,P =0.024 98),however there were no differences in the genotypic,allelic or haplotypic distributions between aMCI patients and controls of glycogen synthase kinase-3β,cyclin dependent protein kinase-5,calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-Ⅱ,cell division cycle 2,dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A and low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6; (3) MAPT/STH rs242562 genotype was correlated with AVLT-immediate recall,AVLT-delayed recall,Rey-Osterrieth Complex Test,Rey-Osterrieth Complex Test-delayed recall and Clock Drawing Test (H =9.763,12.258,10.508,9.624,10.767,F =3.700,3.123 and H =6.591 respectively,all P ＜ 0.05 ) ; (4) There were no differences in the distributions of MAPT/STH rs242562 GG genotype and ApoE ε4 haplotype between aMCI patients and normal controls.Conclusions MAPT/STH rs242562 GG genotype decreases the genetic risk of aMCI,which might have important role in memory function in aMCI.The interaction between rs242562 GG and ApoE ε4 doesn' t affect the susceptibility to aMCI.

Objective To investigate the usefulness of 13N-NH3 PET in detecting brain lesions which show hypometabolism on 18F-FDG PET.Methods 13N-NH3 PET imaging was performed for a prospective study in 18 patients with brain lesions that showed hypometabolism compared with normal brain tissue on 18F-FDG PET scans.Fourteen patients underwent 18 F-FDG PET imaging for initial diagnosis and 4 patients for detection of astrocytoma recurrence (13 males,5 females,age 20-68 (42.4 ± 12.6) years).Ten gliomas,1 metastatic tumor,1 dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) and 6 non-neoplastic lesions (including 3 cases of radiation necrosis,2 cases of encephalitic foci,and 1 case of ischemic lesion)were verified by histopathological examination (n =13) or clinical follow-up (n =5).The tumor-to-contralateral brain tissue ratios (T/C) were calculated by the ROI method.The diagnostic efficacy of 13N-NH3 PET was evaluated.Paired t test and two-sample t test were performed to analyze the differences of T/C between different groups.Results Seven (5 astrocytomas and 2 glioblastomas) of 12 brain tumors (sensitivity:58％,7/12) showed increased 13N-NH3 uptake (higher uptake than the contralateral brain tissue),while 3 low-grade gliomas,1 metastatic tumor,and 1 DNT showed decreased 13N-NH3 uptake (no uptake or lower uptake than the contralateral brain tissue).The uptake ratio of 13N-NH3 was significantly higher than that of 18 F-FDG (1.24 ± 0.66 vs 0.67 ± 0.24,t =-3.740,P ＜ 0.05) in the tumors.All six non-neoplastic lesions showed decreased 13N-NH3 uptake (specificity:6/6).The T/C ratios of 18F-FDG and 13N-NH3 in the non-neoplastic lesions were 0.68 ±0.15 and 0.70 ±0.19,respectively,and there was no significant difference between them (t =-0.246,P ＞ 0.05).The T/C ratio of 13N-NH3 in the tumors was significantly higher than that in the non-neoplastic lesions (1.24 ± 0.53 vs 0.70 ± 0.19,t =2.624,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 13N-NH3 PET imaging may be helpful to detect and differentiate brain tumors with hypometabolism as detected by 18 F-FDG PET imaging from non-neoplastic lesions with high specificity,especially for cerebral astrocytomas,but the sensitivity is relatively limited.

Objective To establish a detection technique for H.pylori(HP) infection in Mongolian gerbils using nested PCR technique.Methods H.pylori was cultured in vitro and inoculated into Mongolian gerbils.At the 10th week after infection, the HP in the gastric juice of Mongolian gerbil was detected by conventional PCR assay and the gastric juice, gastric mucosa, duodenal contents and colon stool were examined by nested PCR.Rapid urease test and ELISA were used to analyze the accuracy of the nested PCR assay.All of the PCR products were verified by sequencing.Results The positive rate of gastric juice detected by conventional PCR was 30%, while the positive rates of gastric juice, gastric mucosa, duodenal contents and colon stool detected by nested PCR were 100%, 100%, 90%, and 10%, respectively.The positive detection rates of rapid urease test and serum ELISA were 100% and 0%, respectively.Comparing the results of different methods, both the positive rates of gastric juice and gastric mucosa detected by nested PCR and the detection rate of rapid urease test were 100%, but the results of conventional PCR detection of gastric juice, the nested PCR detection result of stool in colon and of serum ELISA assay were lower than other methods.Conclusions Due to its high accuracy and sensitivity, the nested PCR assay of gastric juice can be used for the long-time detection of H.pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils, especially useful in the experiments of prevention and treatment of H.pylori infection.
