Chinese Journal of Nursing 2009;44(8):739-742
Objective To investigate the current status of nursing information services on the hospital web sites,and provide empirical reference for the development of nursing information services. Methods Seventy three level hospitals were recruited in the study. The famous search engines such as Baidu and Google were used to locate the target hospital web sites. The nursing-related information was recorded and classified. Results Nursing related information could be found on 41(58.6%)hos-pital web sites. The data was not updated timely,and the click frequency was low. The contents were far of abundant and the presentation rates were under 25.0% except the contents of introduction to nursing and nursing news. Conclusions The nurs-ing-related information on the hospital web-sites were insufficient. Nursing administrators should pay close attention to the defi-ciency of nursing information on hospital web-sites and take actions to promote the development of nursing information ser-vices.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of radiation-induced oral mucositis (ROM) and to provide evidence for the prevention of ROM. Methods The severity of ROM was observed and recorded in 56 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The association of the severity of mucositis with age , sex, clinical stage, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, white blood cell count,BMI index, smoking, alcohol intake, and history of diabetes were assessed by using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The severity of ROM was significantly associated with a decrease in leucocyte count (P<0.05), and it was not markedly correlated with the other eight factors (P>0.05). Conclusions Leukopenia was one of the risk factors for the development of ROM. In clinical pratice,leukopenia should be corrected in patients with bone marrow depression due to radiotherapy in a timely manner.

Pulse-taking, as one of the four diagnostic methods of inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry and pulse-taking, can fully embodies the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. Pulse-taking is the teaching key point for the international students. However, because the pulsetheory and literature is quite profound and abstract and there is a long distance between the class teaching and clinical practice, the teaching of pulse-taking is also the difficult point for the international students. Therefore, the pulse-taking teaching should focus on the interesting teaching, the culture of traditional Chinese medicine of pulse, image teaching and practice training.

Objective To observe activated cerebral areas during the task of writing in second language by early and late acquisition bilinguals and explore the neuropsychological mechanism. Methods Twelve subjects were divided into group of early acquisition high proficiency bilinguals(EAHP) and group of late acquisition high proficiency bilinguals(LAHP). Each subject carried out the task of pseudo-writing and English writing. After functional imaging,statistical parametric mapping was used to compare data of the two tasks through paired- t test in both two groups. A conjunction analysis was conducted between the two groups also. Areas where the metabolism of glucose changed were analyzed. Then, the corresponding images about activated cerebral regions were obtained.Results Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in EAHP: bilateral middle frontal gyrus( Z=4.35/2. 01 ), bilateral cerebellum ( Z = 2.97/2.53 ) and left head of caudate nucleus ( Z = 3.07 ), etc. Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in LAHP: right superior frontal gyrus(Z=4.06), right cerebellum( Z=4.63), left putamen(Z=2.70) ,etc. Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in compared data of LAHP with data of EAHP: right frontal gyrus ( Z = 2.92 ), right temporal lobe( Z = 2.31 ), etc. Conclusion Extensive cerebral cortex and subcortical structures participate the process of writing in the second language. Age of bilingual acquisition is one of the factors affecting cerebral localization of writing in second language.
