Modern Clinical Nursing 2017;16(4):28-33
Objective To explore the effect of cognitive intervention based on conception of knowledge and belief on cognition level and negative moods in the lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods Toally 84 lung cancer patients hospitalized in our hospital from March 2014 to November 2015 were equally divided into the study group and the control group by a random digit table. The control group received the traditional model of nursing, while the study group was treated with cognition intervention based on conception of knowledge and belief as well as the same routine care as in the control group for 4 weeks. Before and after 4 weeks intervention, the two groups were compared in terms of their knowledge, belief, behaviors, self care ability, depression and anxiety. Results Before intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of their knowledge, belief, behaviors, self care ability, depression and anxiety (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the scores on knowledge, belief, behavior and self care ability in the study group were all significantly higher than those of the control group and the scores on anxiety and depression were both statistically significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The cognition intervention based on conception of knowledge and belief on cognition level and negative moods to the lung cancer patients is effective in improvement of their knowledge, belief, behavior as well as in alleviation of their anxiety and depression.

Hepatic stellate cells(HSCs) are the mesenchymal cells in the liver. In the process of tumori-genesis and metastasis, the interactions between HSCs and tumor ceils play an important role in promoting tumor invasion through extracellular matrix remodelling. Here we review the latest investigative advances a-bout the tumor-stromal interactions.

Objective To establish an in vitro model of primnary osteoblasts fluorosis and to detect the influences of different doses of fluorosis on promoter methylation,transcription and expression of p16,then study the epigenetic effects of p16 gene on skeletal fluorosis.Methods Osteoblasts were isolated from Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats by enzyme digestion,and identified by morphology,alkaline phosphatasc staining and alizarin red staining.Osteoblast were treated with 0 (control group),200,400,800 and 1 600 μmol/L NaF for 72 h.The pl6 gene promoter region was amplified in the transcription initiation site-88-+ 143 region by bisulfatesequencing polymerase chain reaction (BSP).The mRNA transcription and the protein expression of p16 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting.Results Among the groups of osteohlasts treated with 200,400,800,1 600 μmol/L NaF,the positive rates of DNA methylation of promoter region in p16 gene of osteoblasts were 5.88% (10/170),12.94% (22/170),17.65% (30/170) and 33.53% (57/170),respectively.No DNA methylation was observed in the control group.There were significant differences between the control group and the NaF-treated osteoblasts groups (x2 =92.87,P < 0.05).Average levels of p16 mRNA were 1.050 ± 0.073,0.869 ±0.037,1.065 ± 0.118 and 0.786 ± 0.148 in 200,400,800 and 1 600 μmol/L NaF-treated osteoblasts groups,compared with the control group (1.110 ± 0.315),there were significant differences among groups (all P < 0.05) and 1 600 μmol/L NaF-treated osteoblasts group was much lower than other groups (P < 0.05).Average levels of p16protein were 1.190 ± 0.050,1.214 ± 0.058,1.122 ± 0.123 and 0.320 ± 0.074 in 200,400,800 and 1 600 μmol/LNaF-treated osteoblasts groups,compared with the control group (1.115 ± 0.057),there were significant differences among groups (all P < 0.05) and 1 600 μmol/L group was much lower than other groups.Conclusion NaF can cause hypermethylation in the promoter region of p16 gene,then suppress the expression of mRNA and protein,which might be one of the important mechanisms of cell proliferation change and cell cycle disorder in skeletal fluorosis.

Objective To assess the curative effect of microscopic anterior cervical approach in cervical spondylotic diseases. Methods A total of 75 patients were selected, who underwent microscopic subtotal anterior cervical decompres-sion and titanium mesh to fusion fixation or microscopic decompression of resection of the cervical intervertebral disc and cage implant fixation in Tianjin People's Hospital since October 2011 to October 2012. The Cervical vertebra gap involved 1 level in 41 cases, 2 levels in 30 cases and 3 levels in 4 cases. Pateints followed up regularly after operation. The nerve func-tion was assessed using Japanese orthopaedic association scoring system (JOA) function was calculated to examine the im-provement rate and to assess the curative effect of microscopic anterior cervical approach. Results All patients were fol-lowed up. The nerve function recovery was excellent in 44 cases, was well in 25 cases, was general in 6 cases, and the ex-cellent and well recovery rate was 92%. There was no significant difference between excellent recovery rate and well recov-ery rate. There were significant differences in values of each cervical levels between before and after surgery in the last fol-low-up of patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Microscopic operative treatment for cervical spondylotic is safe and effective, with less trauma and bleeding. After surgical decompression, the recovery is rapid in patients with early ambulation.

0.05). According to the logistic regression, the OR of age was 1.128 which showed that when age increase 1 year, the possibility of contracting CP was higher. The OR of genotype was 0.187 and 0.421, which showed that people with XX genotype were also more susceptible than those with Xx and xx genotype, when the other conditions were invariable. Conclusion:Specific relationship is found between the susceptibility of severe CP and the ER gene-XbaI polymorphism. People with XX genotype are most susceptive to CP.
