Objective To explore the feelings of the caregivers of dementia patients,and find the resource of the caregiver's abuse tendency to dementia patients in community.Methods The data of 10 caregivers were collected through deep interviews,and the Colaizzi analysis method was used to analyze the data.Results Through repeatedly reading,arranging,analysis,separation,and theme refining,five themes were drawn:lack of related knowledge and care skills,care tasks making caregivers tired,the economic burden,lack of social support,low sense of worth.Conclusions When concerning the problems caused by dementia patients,it's necessary to appeal the society and government to provide feasible service and assistance on the issue of abuse tendency,which is produced by the caregivers during the process of taking care of them.
2.Relationship of occupational pressure, job burnout and mental health of policemen
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2011;20(3):273-274
Objective To explore the relationship between police' s occupational pressure and their job burnout and health. Methods 251 policemen completed the police occupational pressure questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and general heath questionnaire. Results Occupational pressure was positively related to emotional exhaustion and cynicism( r = 0.365 ~ 0.472 ), and not related to diminished personal accomplishment( r = - 0.004 ). Occupational pressure had negative effect on mental health (β = - 0. 1 89 ). Job burnout and its three dimensionalities were negatively related to mental health( r= -0.331 ~ -0.662). With both occupational pressure and job burnout as predictors of mental health, only did job burnout negatively predict mental health (β = - 0. 698). Conclusion Both occupational pressure and job burnout can predicted policemen' general health.
3.Effects of thalidomide on proliferation and apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990
Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2011;11(6):404-406
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of thalidomide on the proliferation and apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cell SW1990 in vitro.MethodsSW1990 cell line was treated with thalidomide at different concentrations (3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50,100,200 and 400 μg/ml) for 24,48,72 h,and then cell proliferation were evaluated by MTT.Cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry,apoptosis was determined by annexin V/PI fluos staining,Bcl-2,Bax protein expression and Bcl-2/Bax ratios were measured by Western Blot in vitro.ResultsThalidomide inhibited the proliferation of SW1990 cells in a time and dosedependant manner.The proportion of G0/G1 phase of SW1990 cells with 200 μg/ml thalidomide treatment increased from (41.15 ± 2.23 ) % to (58.83 ± 2.33 ) %,apoptosis rate increased from 2.6% to 28.0%,the expression of Bax protein up-regulated from 0.17 ± 0.03 to 0.33 ± 0.04,the expression of Bcl-2 protein downregulated from 0.35 ± 0.02 to 0.17± 0.01,the ration of Bcl-2/Bax decreased from 2.17 ± 0.44 to 0.52 ±0.07.ConclusionsThalidomide can inhibit the proliferation of pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells by upregulating Bax,down-regulating Bcl-2,inducing cell apoptosis and cell Go/G1 phase arrest.
4.Effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with mechanical ventilation on inflammation in rats with acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by hydrochloric acid inhalation
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2014;(1):50-54
Objective To observe the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHCD) combined with mechanical ventilation on inflammatory response in rats with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)induced by hydrochloric acid(HCl)inhalation. Methods 32 adult healthy male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group,ARDS model group,PHCD group(intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mg/kg PHCD at 30 minutes before HCl instillation)and mechanical ventilation group〔mechanical ventilation was given after PHCD treatment,ventilator settings were as follows:tidal volume(VT)=4 mL/kg,respiratory rate(RR)= 70 beats/min,the time ratio of inspiration to expiration(I:E)=1:2,fraction of inspired oxygen concentration(FiO2)=0.21〕,8 rats in each group. The rat ARDS model was created by HCl(0.1 mol/L,1.2 mL/kg) intratracheal instillation. After mechanical ventilation for 4 hours,the experiment was stopped. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)was measured,and the oxygenation index as well as lung wet/dry weight ratio(W/D)were calculated respectively. The pathological changes in lung tissues were observed under light microscope,and the pathological score was evaluated. The levels of myeloperoxidase(MPO),interlukin-8(IL-8)and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)in homogenate of lung tissues were all measured respectively by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results In rats of ARDS model group, there were significant infiltration of inflammatory cells, collapse of extensive pulmonary alveoli and hyaline membrane formation in lung tissues,but the edema in pulmonary mesenchymal tissue and congestion of micro vessels were not obvious. Compared with sham operation group,the lung tissue pathological score(9.88±2.03 vs. 1.38±0.92),lung W/D ratio(7.67±0.96 vs. 4.08±0.65)were significantly increased(both P<0.01),while oxygenation index〔mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):213±29 vs. 428±28〕was markedly decreased in model group(P<0.01);and the concentrations of MPO(μg/L:34.18±3.99 vs. 20.92±1.40), IL-8(ng/L:864±53 vs. 583±91)and NF-κB(ng/L:1 229±133 vs. 803±130)in homogenate of lung tissues were significantly higher in model group(all P<0.01). The pathological changes in lung tissues including inflammatory cell infiltration,collapse of alveoli and pulmonary edema,etc. were obviously improved when treated by PHCD or mechanical ventilation and the lung pathological score and W/D ratio were significantly decreased compared with those of model group,oxygenation index in these two groups were both significantly increased,meanwhile, the concentrations of MPO,IL-8 and NF-κB were sharply decreased when compared with those of model group (all P<0.05). The degree of improvement in all above indexes were greater in mechanical ventilation group than those in PHCD group(lung injury score:5.63±1.85 vs. 7.63±1.67,lung W/D ratio:5.35±1.05 vs. 6.46±1.17, oxygenation index:325±57 vs. 272±44,MPO:25.80±3.36 vs. 29.88±3.93,IL-8:736±53 vs. 802±53, NF-κB:984±75 vs. 1 109±118,all P<0.05),however they did not reach the levels of the sham operation group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion PHCD can inhibit the inflammatory response in ARDS rats induced by HCl inhalation,thus it may protect the lung tissue from injury induced by HCl,and the protective role of PHCD plus menchanical ventilation is superior to that of PHCD only.

Modern Clinical Nursing 2014;(3):66-69
Objective To explore the issues of everyday expenses list used in the cadre wards and find out countermeasures for the purpose of reducing medical disputes and improving the patients’satisfaction.Method Seventy-four patients admitted in our department from July to September 2012 were set as control group,where an investigation was conducted to find out the issues in the practical use of every expenses list and corresponding measures were worked out and used in observation group,which included 78 patients admitted in the department from October to December 2012.The two groups were compared in terms of self-paid articles, re-recording of missed expenses,failure to timely refunding,charging by other means,disagreement on curative nursing items and unclear items for charging.Result The observation group was significantly better than the control in self-paid articles,re-recording of missed expenses and failure to timely refunding(all P<0.05).Conclusions There are some issues in the use of everyday expenses list in the cadre wards.We should take corresponding countermeasures to ensure the interests of the hospital and the patients and the enhanced degree of patients’comfort.
6.Efficacy of diclofenac diethyamine emulgel on the prevention of PICC-induced mechanic phlebitis
Chinese Journal of Nursing 2010;45(5):416-417
Objective To investigate the efficacy of externally applied diclofenac diethylamine emulgel on the prevention of PICC-induced mechanic phlebitis. Methods One hundred cancer patients with PICC were divided into two groups. diclofenac diethylamine emulgel and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream were applied three times a day for 7 days after catheterization in the two groups,respectively. Results There was no significant difference on the incidence of mechanic phlebitis between the two groups (4% vs. 8%,P>0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of externally applied diclofenac diethylamine emulgel on the prevention of PICC-induced mechanic phlebitis is the same as mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream. Except their common virtue of convenient and simple operation,the price of diclofenac diethylamine emulgel is lower than mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream and worthy to be spread in clinical practice.
