Objective To investigate the posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and ethical decision-making in nurses suffered workplace violence, and analyze the relmionship between them. Methods Totally 340 nurses suffered workplace violence were questionnaired by the PTSD Scale and the Ethical Decision- making Scale. Results The incidence rate of PTSD was 17.06%(58/340), the total score of PTSD was (38.77± 13.57).The scores of ideal ethical practice, actual ethical practice and ethical decision- making in the PTSD group were 121.36±8.33, 105.56±7.76, 226.92±15.52, and were significantly lower than that in the non-PTSD group (140.60±9.01, 117.65±8.41, 258.27±16.73) (t=-14.996, -10.015, -13.153, P < 0.01). The score of PTSD was negtively correlated with the scores of ideal ethical practice, actual ethical practice and ethical decision- making (r=-0.415, -0.431,-0.420, P < 0.05). Conclusions The PTSD probably occurred after workplace violence, nursing administrators should pay close attention to the PTSD and therefore improve nurses′ethical decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between root and root canal diameter of maxillary central incisors and age by cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methods:CBCT images of 420 cases of Chinese Han population were divided into 7 age groups as follows:1 5 -24,25 -34,35 -44,45 -54,55 -64,65 -74 and 75 -84(n =60).Root diameter and root canal diameter of maxillary central incisors at the 3 /4 level from the cemenal-enamel junction(CEJ)to root apical were measured.Linear-regression a-nalysis was used to analyze the correlation between root and root canal diameter of the teeth and age,T-test was used to examine the gender difference.Results:Mean root diameter(mm)of the teeth in males and females were 5.81 ±0.445 and 5.53 ±0.489(P <0.05),mean root canal diameter(mm)1 .20 ±0.396 and 0.96 ±0.236(P <0.05),mean of the ratio of root canal diameter and root diameter of the teeth 0.21 ±0.072 and 0.1 7 ±0.043(P <0.05)respectively.There were negative correlations between the ratio of root canal diameter and root diameter of the teeth with age (R2 =0.576,P <0.05).Conclusion:The ratio of root canal diameter and root diameter of maxillary central incisors is negitively correlated with age in Chinese Han population.The decrease of root canal diame-ter in males is more significant than that in females.

With the development of business of manned spaceflight, the body damage of astronauts on the space en-vironment has received growing concern. Weight loss is the most important cause of various diseases, and the weightlessness muscle atrophy is one of urgent problems to be solved in aerospace medicine. Although there is no concept of weightlessness or weightlessness muscle atrophy in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM can grasp the pathogenesis of complex diseases, and provide important theoretical references for the prevention and management of weightlessness diseases, especially weightlessness muscle atrophy. In this paper, TCM Cognition of weightlessness and the pathogenesis of weightlessness muscle atrophy was studied by the sight of TCM theory of qi hoisting. The discussion was made from aspects of circulation of qi and blood, zang-fu function. This work is wished to be beneficial to apply the TCM theory in aerospace medicine.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common disabling and neurodegenerative disease.As the disease progresses,the patient's respiratory system will be affected.PD leads to obstructive and restrictive airway diseases,and PD medications may produce pulmonary side effects,such as pleuropulmonary fibrosis related to dopamine agonists.Finally,motor fluctuations in advanced PD may trigger respiratory symptoms.Abnormal central control of ventilation,obstructive sleep apnea,emotional disorders will influence respiratory system.Recognizing these pulmonary complications will assist the clinician in appropriately managing the disease and potentially reducing the impact of the abnormal respiratory system on overall PD patient health.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Nan-She-Teng (Celastrus orbiculatus) extract on epithe-lial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) in HepG2 cells. Except the control group, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in other groups were treated with Celastrus Orbiculatus extract in different concentrations (10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μg·mL-1). The protein expression levels related to EMT were detected by western blotting. At 48 h after fertiliza-tion, the zebrafish embryos were randomly assigned to 7 groups as follows: untreated control group (E3 buffer), DMSO group (E3 buffer with 1% DMSO), and different dosages treatment of C.orbiculatus extract (10, 20, 40, 80, and 160μg·mL-1) for 24 h. The protein expressions of mTOR signaling pathways were detected by western blotting. The re-sults showed that compared with the control group, C.orbiculatus extract significantly increased E-cadherin protein expression. Simultaneously, C.orbiculatus extract inhibited vimentin and mTOR signaling pathways at protein levels. It was concluded that to a certain extent, C.orbiculatus extract prevented EMT in HepG2 cells by modulating the mTOR signaling pathway. Therefore, it suggested that mTOR can be chosen as a new therapeutic target for clinical treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant degenerative disease. The main clinical manifestation of SCA2 is progressive cerebellar syndrome, but a wide range of extracerebellar and non-motor symptoms can be observed clinically. The non-motor symptoms and extra-cerebellar signs in SCA2 patients are reviewed to provide a better understanding in cognition, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Lynch syndrome (LS) is a common hereditary tumor syndrome. Gynecological malignancy is usually the first tumor of LS in women, and endometrial cancer (EC) is the most closely associated with LS. Most patients with LS are unaware of this risk, and it is possible to cause misdiagnosis. Thus, early diagnosis helps patients to start tumor surveillance timely, as well as a cascade of family surveillance. This paper reviews the progress of LS associated with EC.
