Objective To determine the cut-off points of Psychological Distress Scale of Cancer Patients by using the ROC curve, in order to provide reference for clinical application of it. Methods A questionnaire containing both the Psychological Distress Scale of Cancer Patients and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were filled by 364 cancer patients in Beijing Cancer Hospital. Later the cut-off points of the four latitudes of the Scale were evaluated by ROC curve through comparing the two scales. Results By using the latitudes of the SCL-90 scale as a reference, the areas of all the four latitudes of the Scale were:anxiety (0.815, P<0.01); depression (0.790, P<0.01); interpersonal disability (0.829, P<0.01);suspiciousness (0.670, P<0.01) respectively. The following cut-off points could result in the most ideal sensitivity and specificity: 11 for anxiety; 14 for depression; 7 for interpersonal disability and 4 for suspiciousness. Conclusions The Psychological Distress Scale of Cancer Patients can provide great values to the diagnosis of psychological problems related with anxiety, depression, and interpersonal disability, while low valuable reference for diagnosis of suspiciousness. It can provide good diagnosis value which contributes to evaluation of psychological problems of cancer patients.

Objective To identify the role of resistin in insulin resistance(IR) by endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) and in rats.Methods HUVECs were cultured in vitro and disposed by resistin (R) or tauro ursodesoxycholic acid (tudca).Expressions of GRP78, P-akt and P-eNOS were determined using Western blotting.Thoracic aortic rings were made and their dilation function exposed to different concentrations of insulin was detected.Changes of vascular morphology were observed by HE staining.Results Results of Western blotting showed that expression of GRP78 was remarkably increased,but P-akt and P-eNOS were markedly decreased in R group.However, there was no difference in expressions of GRP78, P-akt and P-eNOS between tudca group and control group.The insulin induced vasodilation was decreased in R group and there was no difference between tudca group and control.Using HE staining, the R group showed significant medial thickening and proliferation of smooth muscle.Conclusion Resistin can induce insulin resistance in vascular endothelium cells by ER stress.

Objective To explore a set of suitable content and methods of evaluation for nursing students' humanistic quality. Methods Using dynamic evaluation theory, from three aspects of the evaluational main body, evaluation content and evaluation way, we assessed 261 nursing students' humanistic quality of the five-year undergraduate. Results Based on students' four consecutive years of assessment,results showed that the students' spirit had obviously changed, the students' comprehensive achievements had obviously promoted, the students' employment was obviously higher than other professionals and the students' degree of satisfaction from employing unit had increased yearly. Conclusions Dynamic evaluation can evaluate the best development of students, to strengthen nursing students' humanities education, to improve level of nursing students' humanities education, it is feasible in humanities education of higher nursing profession.

Objective To detect the effect of olfactory bulb(OB)lesion on proliferation,migration and differentiation of the neural stem cells(NSCs)in the subventricular zone(SVZ).Methods Forty-two healthy female SD rats were enrolled and randomly divided into normal control group,isotonic saline group and OB lesion at day 3,at weeks 1,2,3 and 4 groups,six rats per group.OB lesion was induced by N-methyl-D-aspartic acid(NMDA)injection.Bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)was injected intraperitoneally to label NSCs.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the proliferation of SVZ NSCs.In addition,another 18 rats were randomly divided into normal control group,isotonic saline group and lesion group,six rats per group.BrdU was injected intraperitoneally one week after OB lesion and then the animals were sacrificed four weeks after BrdU injection to detect the migration and differentiation of NSCs with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.Results Three days after OB lesion,BrdU-positive cells in SVZ began to increase(26.33 ± 2.58,P ＜0.01),reached the maximum at week 1 (35.33 +3.01,P＜0.01)and still sustained a high level at week 4(19.50+ 2.26,P＞0.05).Five weeks after the OB lesion,the rostral migratory-stream(RMS)and the BrdU-positive cells in OB were significantly increased(86.50 + 5.09,P ＜ 0.01)and(52.83 + 3.87,P ＜ 0.01),respectively.By using fluorescence double staining,most of the BrdU-positive cells were co-localized with the neuronal nuclear antigen(Neun),with a portion of BrdU-positive cells expressing the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).Conclusions OB lesion can improve the proliferation of NSCs in SVZ and migration of NSCs to OB.The newborn cells can differentiate into not only neurons,but also gliocytes and may be involved in lesion repair.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate whether medial cerebellar nucleus may be involved in the pathogenesis of post-stroke depression (PSD)and explore the pathway that mediates this effect.Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:control group,stroke group,PSD group,medial cerebellar nucleus (Med)lesion group,and superior cerebellar peduncle (xscp)lesion group.The ethological score of depression was evaluated.The neurotransmitters of Glu and GABA in the lateral hypothalamic area were detected by high performance liquid chromatography.Results Compared with those in control group,the levels of GABA and Glu expressions did not significantly differ in the lateral hypothalamic area in stroke group (P > 0.05 ).In contrast,the levels in PSD group,Med lesion group and xscp lesion group were lower than those in stroke group to different extent (P <0.01). Conclusion These results preliminarily show that medial cerebellar nucleus may participate in the pathogenesis of post-stroke depression,which may be mediated by the cerebellum-hypothalamic pathway.

Objective To screen the effective silencing targets of P21 gene at the cellular level in rhesus monkey . Methods To detect the expression of P21 gene in COS-7 cells ( derived from the kidney of African green monkey , Cerco-pithecus aethiops).Four small hairpin RNA (shRNA) sequences targeting rhesus monkey P21 gene were designed and in-serted into lentivirus-based gene silencing constructs FUGW-TDT.The vectors were transfected into COS-7 cells respective-ly.The suppression of P21 mRNA was detected by real-time PCR, and the expression of P21 protein was detected by West-ern blot assay .Results Four gene-silencing sequences were screened that lied in 541-561 bp, 542-562 bp, 215-239 bp, and 624-648 bp of the rhesus monkey P21 mRNA.Their silencing rate was (91.82 ±3.21)%, (82.47 ±2.48)%, (81.31 ±2.69 )% and ( 87.35 ±4.59 )%, and the protein expression was ( 11.97 ±0.70 )%, ( 20.22 ±0.65 )%, ( 23.21 ± 0.63)%and (14.42 ±0.86)%, respectively.Conclusions Four effective silencing target sequences are screened at cel-lular level , which can be used in gene silencing research of rhesus monkeys .

Objective To explore the moves that creating magnetic work environment in hospital, in order to improve the nurses job satisfaction and reduce the turnover rate then stable the nursing team. Methods Through a series of measures such as the establishment of scientific rational allocation of human resources, implementing fair performance evaluation and allocation mechanism, carrying out the nurse grading management system to create magnetic nursing work environment, the nurse job satisfaction and turnover rate were compared before and after the measures. Results In January 2014 a total of 520 questionnaireswere issued, 519 valid questionnaires, and the effective recovery rate was 99.81%(519/520);And 559 were valid of 577 issued questionnaires, which was 96.88% (559/577). The overall score of nurses′job satisfaction increased from (3.20±0.46) points in 2013 to (3.41±0.52) points in 2014 (t=9.40, P= 0.000); The nurse turnover rate fell to 1.97%(13/661) from 5.13% (30/585) (χ2= 10.27, P= 0.003). Conclusions That is very important for remain stable and high quality nursing team to carry out scientific and fine management according to the demand of nurses, so as to create a safe, harmonious, positive, cooperative magnetic nursing work environment which have development direction and space.
