RESUMO
Objective To investigate the construction of PICC catheterization nurses in Shandong province. Methods A total of 235 hospitals were investigated from PICC maintenance network in Shandong province with self-designed questionnaire through internet survey. Results 179 hospitals established intravenous (IV) nurse team(76.17%). 86.92%(93/107) of the tertiary hospitals established Ⅳ nurse team, which was higher than 67.19% (86/128) of the secondary hospitals, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=12.50,P<0.01). There were 1335 trained and certificated nurses while 1382 nurses engaging in PICC catheterization, and there were more PICC catheterization nurses in tertiary hospitals than secondary hospitals, the difference was statistically significant(t=7.23,P<0.01). 22.98%(54/235) of the hospitals had more PICC catheterization nurses than trained and certificated nurses, 11.49%(27/235) of the hospitals had more trained and certificated nurses than PICC catheterization nurses. 7.81%(108/1382) of the PICC catheterization nurses worked full-time and 31.91%(441/1382) had a manager position. 51.06% (120/235) of the hospitals had set up clear selection criteria for PICC catheterization nurses, mainly focusing on education background, professional tittle and (or) work experience. Organization in PICC training was diversified, giving priority to nursing association in provinceand nursing association in city. PICC catheterization nurses in only 20.43% (48/235) of the hospitals would accept training annually, 31.49%(74/235) of the hospitals would re-certificate PICC nurses. Conclusion PICC nurse team has been preliminarily established in Shandong province, but nursing staff deployment was unevenness, and primary hospitals should be further reinforced. The position role of PICC nurses should be further clarified. The selection criteria of PICC nurses should be further standardized. And the training space of PICC nurses should be further promoted.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the effectiveness of using WeChat platform to assist health education for patients with PICC-line. Methods A total of 129 patients with PICC-line were divided into two groups according to the visiting order,64 patients in control group and 65 patients in treatment group. The patients in the two groups received routine education.In addition,the patients in the treatment group received WeChat-based health education for one month. The patients self-management, hope, catheter-related complications and unplanned extubation were compared between the two groups. Results The score of self-management and hope in the treatment group were(144.55±8.27),(38.28±3.18)points,while the score in the control group were (137.08 ± 6.47), (38.34 ± 4.60) points, which had the statistically difference in the score of self-management (t=-5.712, P<0.01). The incidence of catheter-related complications and unplanned extubation in the treatment group were 9.2%(6/65) and 1.5%(1/65), while the incidence in the control group were 29.7%(19/64) and 10.9%(7/64), which had the statistically difference (χ2=8.637, 4.898, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions WeChat-based health education for patients with PICC-line achieves good effectiveness and simple and practicable and is worthy of promotion.

RESUMO
Liver cancer is a malignant tumor. The current operation or chemoradiotherapy cannot achieve a satisfactory effect, and relapse and metastasis are always big problems in the treatment of liver cancer. According to the recent theory of liver cancer stem cells, the genesis, development, relapse, metastasis, and prognosis of liver cancer are all related to liver cancer stem cells. If the liver cancer stem cells are treated by targeted therapy, which would reduce the number of or destroy the stem cells, the relapse, metastasis, and drug resistance after tumor resection may be reduced or eliminated. The progress in targeted therapy for liver cancer stem cells is reviewed here. Although there are many types of targeted therapies for liver cancer stem cells, it is still a key problem that the targeting is not strong enough, which needs to be solved urgently. Whether the dual- or multi-targeting would solve this problem still needs to be confirmed by further experimental studies.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of physician guidance on cigarette cessation in current smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Cigarette cessation education and routine telephone follow-up was provided for 70 COPD patients.Pulmonary function and exhaled carbon monoxide level were detected every 3 months.Results After 6 months' follow-up,28 participants(40.00%) successfully quitted cigarette smoking.Seventeen subjects (24.28%) experienced relapse,with mean cessation time(3.08±0.33) months.Once receiving physician guidance,5 re-attempted to quit cigarette smoking,and 12 reduced tobacco consumption. Sixteen subjects(22.86%) did not quit smoking,although the mean cigarette consumption per day was decreased by 60%.Nine participants (12.86%) showed no change in smoking habit. Conclusion Physician guidance could impreve the rate of cigarette cessation in COPD patients.Intensive intervention may be correlated with successful smoking cessation.
