ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between glial growth factor (GGF), nerve growth factor (NGF) and growth characteristics of prolactinoma (PRL) and to evaluate pre and postoperative growth of PRL. MethodsImmunohistochemistry was used to analyze expression of GGF and NGF in 86 cases of PRL and to analyze the relationship between expression of GGF, NGF and PRL level, invasion, stroke, microvessel density. Cells were cultured with GGF and NGF to observe cell growth, cell cycle and angiogenesis. The relationship between proliferation, growth rate and GGF, NGF was evaluated by rank correlation and Chi-square test. Results GGF expression was significantly higher in invasive, stroke and recurrent pituitary adenomas ( P < 0.05 ).Microvessel density increased significantly ( P < 0.01 ). NGF expression was significantly lower in invasive, apoplexy and recurrent adenomas ( P < 0. 05 ). Microvessel density decreased dramatically with NGF interruption ( P < 0.05 ). GGF showed a positive correlation with growth rate of PRL. NGF showed a negative correlation with invasion and stroke. ConclusionsGGF is one of the factors facilitating growth and invasion of PRL while NGF can partly restrain proliferation of PRL cells. Expression of GGF and NGF indirectly reflects proliferation activity of PRL and can be used as markers to evaluate invasion, recurrence, treatment response and prognosis of PRL.

Objective:To explore the status of nursing information ability and its relationships with information consciousness, information anxiety in intern nursing students, provide basis for the cultivation of nursing information ability of intern nursing students.Methods:From December 2019 to January 2020,185 nursing students working as interns in Jinan Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University were surveyed by general information questionnaire, information anxiety questionnaire, information consciousness questionnaire and nursing information ability assessment scale.Results:The total score of nursing information ability of nursing students in practice was 111.6±19.7; nursing information ability was positively correlated with information consciousness ( r=0.358, P<0.001), and not related to information anxiety ( r=0.136, P=0.065); information consciousness had a predictive effect on nursing information ability( β=0.287, P<0.001), and information anxiety could moderate the relationship between information consciousness and nursing information ability ( β=0.175, P=0.011). Conclusions:The score of nursing information ability is above the medium level, while improving the nursing information ability through the development of information consciousness, and the information anxiety level of nursing students should also be paid attention to.

Objective:
To explore the value and disadvantage of micro-mirror in the intracranial aneurysm surgery.
Methods:
Micro-mirror was used to assist microsurgical clipping to 36 intracranial aneurysms in 31 cases, of which 3 were carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysms, 3 anterior choroidal artery aneurysm, 11 were posterior communicating artery aneurysms, 7 were middle cerebral artery aneurysms, 10 anterior communicating artery or anterior cerebral artery aneurysms, and the others were a posterior cerebral artery aneurysm and a posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. The micro-mirror was used before and after clipping to observe the anatomic features of necks hidden behind and medial to aneurysms, to visualize surrounding neurovascular structures, and to verify the optimal clipping position. Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescein angiography confirmed the success of sufficient clipping.
Results:
All aneurysms were clipped successfully. The parent arteries were occluded temporarily in 26 cases, and 9 aneurysms ruptured during the operation. Postoperative follow-up lasted from 2 weeks to 1 year. After operations digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were repeated in 10 cases, computed tomography angiography(CTA) in 21 cases, and no insufficient clipping or occlusion of parent arteries were revealed.
Conclusions
Micro-mirror assisting microsurgical clipping to the intracranial aneurysm is conducive to accurate clipping, and is a convenient and practical operation.
