1.Determination of stress of osteosarcoma caregivers and its influencing factors
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(11):31-34
Objective To assess stress degree of osteosarcoma caregivers and explore the impact factors of stress response. Methods We used CRA scale to investigate stress state of the primary caregivers of osteosarcoma patients, the demographic characteristics, status of patients, the objective amount of care and scores for each latitude underwent multiple regression analysis. Results The pressure of caregivers from the city was relatively light, annual income more than 50 thousand yuan and with help from the families to take care patients could effectively alleviate the pressure. The caregivers came from rural areas, household income less than 20 thousand yuan, caregivers were the patients' parents, had their own job presently, with no one to help were high - pressure groups. Conclusions Caregivers of osteosarcoma patients with high-pressure need focused intervention, more help and support should be given to these population.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of salidroside on Sjogren's syndrome in mice and its mechanism.Mice in negative control group and model group were given normal saline intragastric administration,mice in 3 salidroside groups were given salidroside intragastric administration(doses of 20,40 and 80 mg/kg),and mice in positive control group were given hydroxychloroquine sulfate(100 mg/kg)intragastric administration once a day.After continuous intragastric administration for 8 weeks,water intake and saliva flow rate were detected,infiltrated submandibular gland lymphocytes were evaluated,the levels of IL-17,IL-10,NF-κB P65 and IκBα and the ratio of Th17/Treg cells were detected.In the model group,the acinus atrophied with unclear margin and decreasing in number,and the lymphocyte infiltration were observed and lymphocyte focus was formed.After the intervention with salidroside and hydroxychloroquine sulfate,the degree of acinus lesions was relieved to a certain extent,and the lymphocyte infiltration was reduced.Compared with negative control group,water intake,salivary flow rate,submandibular gland index,IL-10 and IκBα levels were decreased in other groups,while lymphocyte infiltration,the levels of IL-17,IL-17/IL-10,NF-κB P65 and NF-κB P65/IκBα were increased(P<0.05).Compared with model group,water intake,salivary flow rate,submandibular gland index,IL-10 and IκBα levels were increased in each salidroside dose group,while submandibular gland lymphocyte infiltration,the levels of IL-17,IL-17/IL-10,NF-κB P65 and NF-κB P65/IκBα decreased in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).Compared with the negative control group,the proportion of Th17 cells in the serum of model group was increased,and the proportion of Treg cells was decreased,while salidroside in all doses could reverse these changes(P<0.05).Taken together,salidroside alleviates submandibular gland inflammatory responses by mediating Th17/Treg immune balance and inhibiting NF-κB P65/IκBα,thus playing a therapeutic role in SS treatment.

Objective? To explore the knowledge demand on disaster nursing of nurses so as to provide the countermeasure and suggestions for improving the knowledge on disaster nursing of nurses. Methods? From August to October 2016, a total of 510 nurses at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Hangzhou City were investigated with the Disaster Nursing Training Needs Questionnaire for the nurses. The SPSS 21.0 was used to data analysis. A total of 510 questionnaires were sent out and 479 valid questionnaires were collected with 93.92% for the recovery rate. Results? A total of 479 nurses were with the high demand for the professional knowledge and management knowledge of disaster nursing along with 4 and above for the scores of all terms. In the demand of professional knowledge, the highest demand term was the self-protection knowledge (4.70±0.54). Among 9 training modes with multiple choices by 479 nurses, the highest demand for the training mode was theoretical teaching. Among different training modes, 36.7% to 54.9% of nurses selected theoretical teaching. There were statistical differences in the training contents demands among nurses with different departments (P< 0.05). Conclusions? Hospitals should strengthen training for the disaster nursing events capability of nurses. Different disaster nursing knowledge and skills should adopt suitable training modes. Nurses with no rescue experience need to attend more effective organizational management training in the disaster.

Objective:At present,the doctor-patient relationship is tense.The prevalence of negative emotions,such as depression and anxiety,among healthcare workers is increasing every year.Negative attitudes of medical workers toward mental problems may aggravate the doctor-patient conflict and psychological problems of medical workers.This study aims to explore the complex network relationships between outpatient medical workers'attitudes toward mental problems,doctor-patient relationships,and their depression/anxiety levels. Methods:A total of 578 outpatient medical staff from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University(167 males,411 females)completed questionnaires on their attitudes toward mental problems,doctor-patient relationships,and depression/anxiety symptoms.Network analysis was conducted separately to construct the"attitude towards mental problems-doctor-patient relationship network"and"depression-anxiety related network". Results:The edge between"M15(insulting words)"and"D8(waste time)"showed the strongest strength in the"attitude towards mental problems-doctor-patient relationship network",and"M15(insulting words)"had the highest bridge strength in the network.For the analysis of emotional variables,"P1(anhedonia)"showed the most obvious association with"D10(communication difficulties)"in the doctor-patient relationship and"M2(poor quality of life)"in the psychiatric attitudes,and"P1(anhedonia)"was the key bridge symptom in the network. Conclusion:The"insulting words"may be an intervention target for medical workers'attitudes toward mental problems.The"anhedonia"in depression is the potential symptom that needs to be treated.Intervention targeting these variables may be beneficial to improve the mental health level of medical workers and the doctor-patient relationship.

According to waist circumference (WC) status (normal WC or abdominal obesity) in childhood and adulthood, all subjects were categorized into 4 groups. The multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the joint effect of abdominal obesity in childhood and adulthood on adult hypertension and pre?hypertension. Results Compared to the subjects (n=1 057) who had normal WC in both childhood and adulthood, subjects with abdominal obesity in childhood but with normal WC (n=45) in adulthood didn′t have significantly increased risk of hypertension (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 0.19-12.06). In contrast, those who had normal WC in childhood and abdominal obesity in adulthood (n=289) had increased risk of hypertension (OR=6.48, 95%CI: 3.60-11.66). In addition, subjects with persistent abdominal obesity from childhood to adulthood (n=40) had the highest risk of hypertension ( OR=15.98, 95%CI : 5.39-47.35). There was a similar trend for the association of abdominal obesity in childhood and adulthood with adult pre?hypertension, with the corresponding OR (95%CI) of 1.28 (0.66-2.49), 2.90 (2.17-3.89) and 3.49 (1.65-7.40), respectively. Conclusion The joint effect of abdominal obesity in childhood and adulthood increased the risk of adult hypertension and pre?hypertension. There was no statistical significance for subjects who had abdominal obesity in childhood but had normal WC in adulthood when compared to those with normal WC in both childhood and adulthood.
