Objective: To investigate the relation between coping style and personality of patients with Graves disease. Method: Eighty two patients with Graves disease were assessed by Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Type A Behavior Questionnaire (TABQ). Results: The extroversive patients adopted more positive coping style than introversive patients did. Patients with higher EPQ-N score had higher score in negative coping. Those with Type A behavior had higher score in negative coping either. There were positive correlation between score of positive coping and that of EPQ-E, between score of negative coping and score of EPQ-N or score of Type A behavior. Conclusion: The coping style of patients with Graves disease is influenced by their personality.

Notch signal pathway is one of crucial pathways related to cell fate determination, regulating cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, with an effect of organ formation and morphogenesis. Abnormal activation of Notch gene occurs in many tumor cells, such as brain tumors, breast cancer and hepatoma. Recent studies have been found that the notch pathway out of control was related with growth of ovarian cancer. And Notch3 involving in the development and progression of ovarian cancer has been attracted extensive attention by experts and scholars. This review focuses on the literatures of Notch3 and related molecules regulating the development and progression of epithelial ovarian cancer.

Objective To probe into the burden of caregivers of patients with Alzheimer' s disease (AD) ,coping styles and the correlation. Methods A survey involving 143 caregivers of patients with AD was conducted with Caregivers' Burden Scale and a simple Coping Style Questionnaire to analyze the burden of caregivers of AD and the characteristics of their coping styles and discuss the correlation. Results The burden of the caregivers of patients with AD was at intermediate level the score was 46. 96 ±7. 28. 78. 32% of the caregivers had intermediate burden. Both the grade of the positive coping and that of the negative coping of the caregivers of patients with AD were higher than the domestic norm (P < 0.01); the positive coping styles of the caregivers of patients with AD were negatively related with their burden while nursing; their negative coping styles were positively related with their burden while nursing (P < 0.01). Conclusion The burdens while nursing are related with their coping styles. In the aspect of nursing activity, caregivers should be encouraged to adopt positive coping styles.

Objective: To study depression of patients with Grave's disease and the therapeutic effect of Paroxetine (antidepressant). Method: 82 patients with first onset Grave's disease were collected and 52 of them had depression. The depressive patients were divided into Paroxetine and control group. All cases had the same anti-hyperthyroidism treatment. Result: 63.4% (52/82) patients with first onset Grave's disease had depression before Paroxetine treatment. After 4 weeks and 8 weeks treatment, Paroxetine group had greater decrease in FT3 and FT4, and lower scores of SDS and SAS than control group (p＜0.01). Conclusion: Paroxetine does enhance the therapeutic effect of anti-hyperthyroidism, as well as improving depression of patients with first-onset Grave's disease.

Objective To analyze the application effect and safety of streamlined liner of the pharynx airway (SLIPA) anesthesia in painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB).Methods Two hundred and eighty-two patients who undorwent FB examination in Kaifeng Second People's Hospital from January 2015 to January 2017 were selected and divided into observation group and control group,with 141 patients in each group.The patients in observation group were given SLIPA assisted anesthesia;the patients in control group were given endoscopic mask assisted anesthesia.The oxygen saturation (SpO2),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) of patients in the two groups were monitored.The changes of SBP,DBP and HR,the incidence of adverse reactions and the satisfaction of patient to the anesthesia were compared between the two groups.Results The fluctuation of HR,SBP and DBP of patients in the observation group was (3.52 ± 2.92) times · min-1,(7.04 ±5.30) mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),(1.52 ± 1.63) mmHg respectively and in the control group was (5.52 ± 1.89) times · min-1,(30.12 ± 8.88) mmHg,(4.06 ± 5.78) mmHg respectively;the fluctuations of HR,SBP and DBP of patients in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).In the observation group,12 patients with cough,8 patients with abdominal distension,6 patients with pharyngeal pain,2 patients with SpO2 ≤90％,4 patients with SpO2 ＜ 85％;in the control group,57 patients with cough,32 patients with abdominal distension,47 patients with pharyngeal pain,28 patients with SpO2 ≤90％,19 patients with SpO2 ＜ 85％.The incidence of adverse reactions of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (x2 =27.10,61.82,41.59,72.46,87.75;P ＜0.05).The anesthesia satisfaction of patients in the observation group(97.87％) was significantly higher than that in the control group(82.98％) (x2 =29.97,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion SLIPA assisted anesthesia has good clinical effect and safety in patients with painless FB.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the incidence and clinical manifestations of adverse drug reactions(ADR)induced by Chinese drugs preparations in hospitals of Ya'an district and discuss the rational dosage regimen of Chinese drugs preparations.METHODS:The adverse drug reactions(ADR)induced by Chinese drugs preparations in hospitals of Ya'an district occurred from Jan.to Dec.in 2008 were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:The ADR induced by Chinese drugs preparations occurred via intravenous drip represented 76.8% of the total;lesions the skin and its appendages the major system-organ involved,represented 31.3% of the total;18.3% were induced by Shuanghuanglian injections,and serious ADR accounted for 4.0%.CONCLUSION:It is important to use traditional medicine preparations rationally so as to reduce or avoid the incidence of ADR.

Objective To determine whether urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipecalin (uNGAL) and urinary intedeukin-18 (uIL-18) are early markers of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. Methods Ninety-two critically ill patients were studied for one week after their enrollment into our hospital. During the study, 46 patients who met the RIFLE criteria were selected as AKI group and the remaining 46 patients without AKI taken as a control group. The two groups were matched for age, gender and illness severity. Urine samples were collected daily for one week. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the early diagnostic value of uNGAL, uIL-18 and serum creatininc (SCr). Results As compared with the levels obtained 3 days before the diagnosis of AKI, the uNGAL levels in the AKI group increased significantly (P <0. 05), while uIL-18 and SCr levels did not change 2 days prior to the diagnosis of A KI (all P > 0. 05). uNGAL and uIL-18 levels increased significantly (all P < 0. 05), while SCr levels did not change 1 day prior to the diagnosis of AKI in the AKI group (P > 0. 05). The levels of uNGAL, uIL-18 and SCr did not change significantly in the control group during the study period (all P > 0. 05). Three days before the diagnosis of AKI, concentrations of uNGAL, uIL-18 and SCr were not the predictive of AKI. Two days before the diagnosis of AKI, the area under the curve (AUC) of uNGAL was 0. 840 (95% CI 0. 672-1. 009, P < 0. 05), which indicated that uNGAL was the predictive of AKI while uIL-18 and SCr were not. One day before the diagnosis of AKI, the AUC of uNGAL and ulL-18 were 0. 830 (95 % CI 0. 711-0. 950, P < 0. 05) and 0. 818 (95 % CI 0. 697-0. 938, P < 0. 05), indicating that uNGAL and uIL-18 were the predictive of AKI while SCr was not. Conclusion uNGAL and uIL-18 may be the early predictive markers of AKI in critically ill patients.

Objective To investigate into hand hygiene facilities and worker's practice of hand hygiene during 120 ambulance services in a capital city.Methods With the standard Observation Form publicized by the World Health Organization,field observation was carried out to monitor hand hygiene facilities and the practice of hand hygiene in workers during ambulance services provided by four service centers.Results A total of seven ambulances and 80 times of services were observed across a span of 21 days.The provision and position of hand hygiene facilities were found very limited in these ambulances.Of 656 times of presence of indictors for hand hygiene,the overall compliance rate was 3.04％ reflecting the practice of hand hygiene in ambulance workers.The compliance rate was found to be 0 (0/291),1.96％ (1/51),13.64％ (3/22),5.21％ (16/307) and 0(0/2) before touching patients,after body fluids exposure risk,before clean/aseptic procedures and after touching patients' surroundings respectively.Conclusions Poor practice of hand hygiene which was revealed in 120 ambulance services suggests the great need for education and training to improve patient safety and occupational health.
