Mediating effect of locus of control between career adaptability and vocational selection anxiety in ;practice nurses / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the relationship among vocational selection anxiety, career adaptability and locus of control in practice nurses. Methods Totally 408 practice nurses from five Tertiary A Hospitals in Liaoning Province were assessed with the Career Adaptability Scale, Locus of Control Scale and Vocational Selection Anxiety Questionnaire. All data were analyzed using the software SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. Results Career adaptability was negatively correlated with vocational selection anxiety (r=-0.44, P<0.01), chance and powerful others (r=-0.21,-0.21,P<0.01). Chance and powerful others were positively correlated with vocation selection anxiety (r=0.45, 0.44,P < 0.01). The career adaptability could negatively predict the vocational selection anxiety directly and indirectly via the mediating role of chance and powerful others. Conclusions Career adaptability and locus of control could influence the vocational selection anxiety. Chance and powerful others played a role of part-mediating variable in the relationship of career adaptability and vocational selection anxiety.

Randomized study of kezhi Capsules in Treating Nonalconolic Fatty Liver / 实用医学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effect and side effects of Kezhi capsule in short-term treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods 60 NAFLD cases of outpatients according to the inclusion criteria of were randomly assigned to two groups: the treated group-30cases with the prescription of Kezhi capsule , and the control group-30cases with the prescription of Xuezhikang. The treatment Course of taking Kezhi capusule (1.25 g, tid, po) and Xuezhikang(0.6 g, bid, po)was 24 weeks. Results After treatment in both groups we saw the significant decrease of the levels of ALT, AST, TC, TG, LDL-C, CREAT, BUN, BMI and TCM Syndromes scores, and the improvement of the ultrasonographic findings of liver steatosis. In the Xuezhikang group we saw higher decrease of TC and TG than the Kezhi capsule group with statistic difference (P < 0.05), while in Kezhi capsule group we saw higher decrease of BMI , TCM Syndromes scores and the improvement of the ultrasonographic findings of liver steatosis than the xuezhikang group with statistic difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions The results show that kezhi capsule is effective for the treatment of NAFLD without obvious side effects.

Relationship between traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types and serum HBV DNA level in chronic HBV carriers positive for HBeAg / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the relationship between the syndrome types in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and serum HBV DNA load in chronic HBV carriers positive for HBeAg.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to the TCM syndrome types, 185 chronic HBV carriers with HBeAg positivity were classified into single syndrome group (liver Qi depression, kidney Qi deficiency, spleen Qi deficiency, and kidney Yang deficiency), compound syndrome group, and unidentifiable syndrome group; based on the nature of the condition in TCM terms, the patients were classified into excess syndrome group, deficiency syndrome group and comorbidity syndrome group. The serum HBV DNA levels in these cases were analyzed in relation to the TCM syndrome types and disease nature.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>HBV DNA levels showed no significant difference among the patients with single syndrome, compound syndromes and unidentifiable syndrome (F=0.910, P=0.404), nor among the patients with the 5 different single TCM syndromes (χ²=4.672, P=0.323) or those with different disease nature (F=0.631, P=0.596).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Serum HBV DNA level can not be considered as the evidence for syndrome differentiation in chronic HBV carriers with positive HBeAg.</p>

Evaluation of MRI in discriminating benign and malignant compression fracture of vertebrae / 肿瘤研究与临床

Benign and malignant compression fracture of vertebrae are common diseases in clinic. Because their therapies are different,it is important to identify them. At present, MRI is the main means in discriminating benign and malignant compression fracture of vertebrae. Sometimes the change of MRI signal in them is overlap, therefore, it is difficult to diagnose accurately. In the recent years, with the appearance of MRI new technology, people have already applied it to work out the difficulty.

Effect of antifibrotic herb serum on rat hepatic stellate cell proliferation and collagen synthesis / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To investigate the effect of Chinese herbs, Ganxianfang(GXF), on rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC) proliferation and collagen synthesis. METHODS: Two types of herb serum, portal venous serum and circumferential venous serum, were prepared from rats infused intragastrically with 16,8,4 times adult dose of GXF decoction. HSC isolated from rat liver were processed with the above sera in vitro . Then we mensurated the radioactivity of HSC admixed with [ 3H]proline and [ 3H]thymine to judge the effect on proliferation and collagen synthesis of HSC. RESULTS: Both two types of serum collected 0 5, 1, 2 h after intragastrical infusion inhibited HSC proliferation ( P 0 05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of HSC proliferation and decrease of collagen synthesis may contribute to the GXF antifibrotic action.

Treatment of 40 Cases of Hyperhyaluronemia due to Liver Cirrhosis by Combination of Drugs for Heat - reducing. Purgation, Resolving and Tonification / 中医杂志

800 ng/L) and elevated NO content were enrolled to study the efficacy of treatment with a combination of drugs for heat- reducing, purgation, resolving and tonification for 6 months to 2 years. The symptoms and signs were markedly ameliorated: the level of GPT, GOT, globulin, albumin and bilirubin contents restored to normal level. In B -ultrasonographic examination, a decrease the width of the portal vein and the spleen was found in 50% of the patients. The authors concluded that the combined use of drugs for heat- reducing, purgation, resolving and tonification was effective in treating hyperhyaluronemia due to liver cirrhosis. The ingredient rhemannia root may play the key role in its actions of expelling toxic materials, normalizing the functions of the viscera and discharge of bile, and removing the stagnated heat.
