Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of mindfulness and the A-type behavior characteristics of the nursing college students.Methods 172 nursing college students were investigated by the scale of TABP and FFMQ.The results were analyzed.Results In the 172 nursing college students,there were 112 nursing college students belonging to type B behavior pattern,accounted for 65.1％,and 60 nursing college students belonging to type A behavior pattern,accounted for 34.9％.The correlation between the score of TABP and the observation items and describing items were positive statistically significant,and was negatively correlated with awareness items and non-judge items statistically.Conclusions The students with different behavior characteristics were different in their mindfulness level.In order to improve nursing college students' mindfulness level and their mental health,the educators should take intervention based on their behavior characteristics timely.

Objective To explore the effects of the mindfulness mode intervention on the adverse reaction of the patients with breast cancer during the period of chemotherapy.Methods 75 patients with breast cancer during the period of chemotherapy were randomly assigned to the control group(38 cases) and the intervention group(37 cases).All patients received the routing nursing of chemotherapy.In addition the intervention group received the mindfulness intervention.The adverse reaction of chemotherapy questionnaire was used to investigate the level of their adverse reaction before the intervention and two months after the intervention.Results After the intervention,the scores of the adverse reaction in the intervention group was (32.19± 7.70)points,less than that of the control group,which was (36.97±10.03)points.There was statistically significant difference between two groups.Conclusions The mindfulness model intervention could reduce the adverse reaction of the patients with breast cancer.

Objective To sum up effective measures to prevent complications of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) by applying evidence-based nursing in patients after PICC insertion.Methods From January 2011 to January 2013,1490 patients inserted with PICC in Hunan Provincial Tumor Hospital were selected by convenience sampling,whom were divided into control group (n =758) and observation group (n =732) with random number table.The control group received routine care,while the observation group received evidence-based nursing.Nursing program for the observation group was formed based on literature regarding the causes of and solutions for phlebitis,malposition of PICC,infection of insertion sites,and hemorrhage of insertion sites.Results The incidences of postoperative phlebitis,malposition of PICC,infection of insertion sites,and hemorrhage at insertion sites in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (3.14％ vs.8.97％,P=0.023;4.23％ vs.11.74％,P=0.021;3.96％ vs.8.44％,P=0.001;4.92％vs.12.66％,P =0.011).Conclusions The application of evidence-based nursing in patients with PICC insertion could effectively reduce the complication,and improve the quality of clinical nursing care.

Objective To investigate the correlated factors of pulmonary metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),so as to provide theoretical evidences for the prevention and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 862 patients with HCC who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2008 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 107 patients with pulmonary metastasis.Factors including serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level,serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) level,hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection,presence and treatment of intrahepatic tumor were analyzed to screen out relevant factors of pulmonary infection of HCC.Univariate and multivariate COX regression model analysis were performed for data analysis.Results The results of univariate analysis showed that high level of AFP (≥400 μg/L),ultra-high level of GGT (≥ 150 U/L),presence of HBV infection,the number of intrahepatic tumors ≥2,no radical resection (or radiofrequency ablation) for intrahepatic tumors,combining with tumor thrombi in the vessels,lymph node metastasis were risk factors of pulmonary metastasis of HCC (RR =1.986,3.653,0.365,3.675,0.252,0.379,0.352,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that high level of AFP (≥400 μg/L),HBV infection,the number of intrahepatic tumors ≥2,no radical resection (or radiofrequency ablation) for intrahepatic tumors,combining with tumor thrombi in the vessels were risk factors of pulmonary metastasis of HCC (RR =2.391,3.462,3.425,3.396,2.418,0.638,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions AFP ≥400 μg/L,HBV infection,the number of intrahepatic tumors ≥ 2,no radical resection (or radiofrequency ablation),tumor thrombi in the vessels and lymph node metastasis are risk factors of pulmonary metastasis of HCC.Anti-hepatitis virus treatment and early treatment are helpful for the prevention and treatment.

Objective To observe the effects of hepatic artery reconstruction in rat with orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT)on ultrastructure changes of intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells after ischemia reperfusion iniury and postoperative biliary complications. Methods Male SD rats were divided into sham operation group (SO),OLT with hepatic artery reconstruction group(HA)and OLT without hepatic artery reconstruction group (NA).The liver tissue samples were collected at 0.5,3,6,12,24,36,48 hours after ischemia reperfusion in both HA grouD and NA group.The uhrastructure of intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells was observed by transmission electron microscope,and the morphometric analysis by the computer image analysis system.The postoperative biliary complications were also observed.Results In HA group and NA group,the injury of intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells aggravated gradually along with the reperfusion.The uhrastructure changes,such as enlarged mitochondria,blurred or disappeared cristae and decreased number of microvilli,were most significant at 24 hours and then recovered gradually.The mitochondrial average area and average perimeter were increased and the mitochondrial numerical densitv was decreased gradually along with the reperfusion.At 24,36,48 hours,the mitochondrial average area and average perimeter in NA group were significantly greater than those in HA group(t=-3.566,-7.780,-4.730,-4.610,-2.599,-5.730,P＜0.05).The average numerial density of mitochondia in NA group was significantly less than that in HA group at 36,48 hours(t=-4.619,4.000,P＜0.05).The incidence rate of biliary complications in HA group is significantly lower than that in NA group(x2=4.286,P＜0.05).Conclusions Hepatic artery reconstruction in rat with OLT has an protective effect on the uhrastructure of intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells after ischemia reperfusion.It is beneficial to the recovery of intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells and can reduce the incidence rate of biliary complications.
