ABSTRACT
At present, most of the malignancies still have poor treatment and even poor prognosis .In the case of disease informing , the families of many patients with malignant tumors are inclined to conceal the disease based on the risks that may result in the patient ' s pain while patients want to know their disease diagnosis and prognosis . Telling patients the truth is helpful to promote the patients to participate in the treatment decision , cooperate with the treatment, prolong the survival time , improve the quality of life and also is the requirement of relevant laws and regulations, but it also faces many ethical conflicts in practice .Aiming at this, this paper proposed to strengthen health education , make necessary training to medical staff , design individual informative programs , cooperate rea-sonably with family members , and so on .

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the indoor radon level and distribution characteristic in different geological background by studying the indoor radon level in three typical areas in Zhuhai City.Methods The region of investigation includes three districts:granite area in Zhuhai District,granite area in Doumen District and the Quaternary sedimentary area in Doumen District.Activated charcoal adsorption method was used to measure the indoor radon concentrations.In some sampling sites,solid state nuclear track detectors were used at the same time for the indoor radon measurement.Results The average indoor radon level included 80 buildings was (66.0 ± 49.8) Bq/m3 using activated charcoal adsorption method and the maximum value was 1078.5 Bq/m3.The results of 23 sampling sites show that the average indoor radon level using solid state nuclear track detectors was (88.8 ± 49.1) Bq/m3,and (69.5 ± 37.7) Bq/m3 by activated charcoal adsorption method.The indoor radon concentration was (73.6 ± 61.0),(87.5 ± 58.3) and (48.6 ± 22.6) Bq/m3 in granite area in Zhuhai District,granite area in Doumen District and the Quaternary sedimentary area in Doumen District,respectively.Conclusions The surface lithology of an area has a certain impact on the indoor radon level.The indoor radon level in granite area in Zhuhai District and Doumen District is apparently higher than that in the Quaternary sedimentary area in Doumen District.The study of indoor radon level and distribution characteristic should be discussed in combination with geological background of area.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the differences of temperature results between mercury thermometer and infrared thermometer. Methods The temperature of three parts was recorded respectively by mercury thermometer in axilla and infrared thermometer in forehead and earlobe on the same patient, totally 98 patients were recorded in ICU. Results There was statistical difference of three parts' temperature in 98 cases. It could be assumed that axilla temperature ＞ earlobe temperature ＞ forehead temperature;There was no statistical difference of three parts' temperature in 17 cases with temperature 38.0～38.9 ℃ by mercury thermometer, but the difference had clinical significance. It could be assumed that axilla temperature ＞ earlobe temperature ＞ forehead temperature; There was statistical difference of three parts' temperature in 30 cases with temperature at 37.0～37.9 ℃ by mercury thermometer. It could be assumed that axilla temperature ＞ earlobe temperature ＞ forehead temperature. There was no statistical difference of three parts'temperature in 51 cases with temperature at 35.0～36.9 ℃ by mercury thermometer. Conclusions Temperature of the patients with normal axilla temperature could be monitored by infrared thermometer instead of mercury thermometer,but it is not applicable to the patients with fever.
