Objective To investigate and analyze the status quo of professional identity of nursing students with different educational backgrounds.Methods With stratified-cluster random sampling,635 students were surveyed using the nursing students' professional identity questionnaire.Results The total score of professional identity of junior college nursing students was significantly higher than that of undergraduate students.Junior college nursing students had a higher score in professional knowledge dimension than undergraduate and graduate students,while the score of nursing undergraduate students was higher than that of graduate students.Junior college nursing students had a higher score in professional will dimension than undergraduate and graduate students.Nursing graduate students had a higher score in professional expectation dimension than junior college and undergraduate students,while the score of undergraduate students was higher than that of junior college students.Whatever the educational background,professional skill and professional expectation were the top two dimensions,while professional knowledge and professional emotion were the last two dimensions.The difference was statistically significant between the answers of nursing students with different educational backgrounds to the following questions,such as which is the most probable factor affecting your learning enthusiasm,who has the greatest impact on your professional thought about nursing and which nursing field are you most willing to go in for.There was significant difference in professional identity score between different grades of junior college and undergraduate nursing students,while there is no significant grade difference in graduate students.Conclusions There were some differences of professional identity of nursing students with different educational backgrounds.Nursing educators should carry out the professional education according to the student's educational backgrounds.

Objective: To observe the histological changes of lamina extema cranii at both the graft and donor areas after having been grafted in animal experiment. Methods; 4 mini pigs aged from 8 to 12 months were selected. Part of the outer table of skull (2.5 cm × 1.0 cm) was decorticated and was divided equally. Both were implanted on each side of the snouts of animals. 2 pigs were selected randomly and were killed 12 weeks postoperation. Each 1, 0 cm ×0. 5 cm specimen was harvested and histological study was performed. The other 2 animals were killed 24 weeks after operation. Gross inspection of the donor site was performed and histological study was done. Results; In the graft area; bone absorption was obvious 12 weeks postoperation, but bone matrix increased obviously at 24 weeks postoperation. Results of scanning electron microscope showed that interface between bone graft and recipient site was discernment and collagen type I was malaligned 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. In the donor area; small amounts of new bone formation could be seen and alignment of cemental line was chaotic 12 weeks postoperation. At 24 weeks, bone formation was obvious and alignment of haversian canal was regular. Scanning electron microscopy showed that structure of the tissue was uneven and disorder at 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. On gross view, raw surface of the donor site got complete healing, os-teanagenesis was incomplete and introcession could be observed in the local area. Conclusion; Histological remodeling of lamina exter-na cranii is complete at 24 weeks after having been grafted. The donor site can regenerate but morphologic introcession could be observed.

Objective To compare the efficacy of laparoscopic gallbladder bed dissection(LGBD)between retrograde plus anterograde and anterograde only manners.Methods All of 575 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)were randomly divided into two groups(group A and group B).Patients underwent LGBD with retrograde plus anterograde mannerin group A(297 cases)oronly with anterograde manner in group B(278 cases)respectively.The efficacy and safety were compared between two groups.Results The operative time were(10.0±3.7)min and(13.0±3.9)min in group A and group B respectively (P<0.05).There were 33 cases of bleeding volume more than 5 ml in group A with 85 cages in group B (P<0.05).Three cases of gallbladder rupture were found in group A compared with 10 cases in group B (P<0.05).Postoperative fluid collection in gallbladder bed occurred in 5 cases in group A compared with 19 cases in group B(P<0.05).The conversion rate was 3.70%(11/297)and 3.96%(11/278)in group A and group B respectively(P>0.05).One cage of abdominal fluid collection was observed in group A whichwas relieved after conservative therapy.No other complications occurred.Conclusions LGBD applying retrograde plus anterograde manner may shorten the operative time,decrease the bleeding during operation and minimize the postoperative complications.Surgeons might benefit from its advantage of easier manipulation.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used in treating liver diseases worldwide, especially in China. The advantages of using TCM for treatment of liver diseases include: protecting hepatocytes, inhibiting hepatic inflammation and antifibrosis in the liver. In this article, we introduce TCM herbal preparations from the Chinese materia medica (such as Fuzheng Huayu) that are typically used for the treatment of liver diseases. Literature surrounding the mechanisms of TCM therapy for treatment of liver diseases is presented and discussed. We propose that side effects of herbal compounds are often under-appreciated, and that more care should be taken in the prescription of potentially hepatotoxic medicines. Further, to deepen the understanding of TCM mechanisms, new techniques and methodologies must be developed. Future studies will lead to the enhancement of clinical outcomes of TCM. As complementary and alternative therapies, TCMs will play an expanding role in the future of liver disease treatment.
