ObjectiveTo explore the effect of spiritual care on improving the psychological stress levels of relatives of patients with terminal cancer. MethodsDuring January 2013 and January 2014, 220 relatives of patients with terminal cancer were selected. Convenience sampling method was adopted to select 100 relatives out of 190 who were agreed to be participated in the investigation, who were divided into the trial group and the control group with 50 in each according to the random alphabet method. The control group was given routine care and psychological counseling, and the trial group was given spiritual care intervention additionally. Before intervention, all of the individuals in both of the two groups should conduct the questionnaire of general demographic data, caregiver stress scale, fatigue rating scale, quality of life scale (QLS), social support scale (SSS), and relatives stress scale (RSS). ResultsAfter one month's intervention, caregiver stress scale score (52.14±4.75), fatigue rating score (76.75±8.69), RSS score (15.71±3.97), SSS score (22.59±2.22), the QLS score (66.9±7.5) in the trial group were significant better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, all the scores in the trial group were significant better than whose before the intervention (P < 0.05). ConclusionFor the relatives of the patients with terminal cancer, spiritual care can reduce the occurrence rate of stress and fatigue, relieve the psychological stress level, and improve the social support and quality of life.
Objective To investigate the indication, approaches andpreventionof complications in treatment of female stress urinary incontinence(SUI) with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT). Methods From September 2003 to December 2004, 40 cases of female stress urinary incontinence were treated, including 8 cases in association with cystocele or rectocele and 1 case in association with uterine prolapse. They ranged from 30 to 70 years in age with an average of 56.3years. The disease course was 1.42 years(7.2 years on average). All patients received TVT. In the patients suffering from uterine prolapse and cystocele or rectocele, butterfly-shaped mesh patch was applied. Results All patients achieved satisfactory results.The complications included slight dysuria(2 cases),vesical perforation(1 case) and pelvic hematoma(1 case) and cleared up after treating. All cases were followed up 1 to 15 months and the results were satisfactory. No urinary incontinence and no dysuria reoccurred. Conclusion TVT is effective for SUI.
Objective To investigate the relationship among rats′ stress ulcer and gastric acid, prostaglandin (PGs) and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and to probe the pathogenesis, prophylaxis and therapy. Methods Rats′ stress ulcer model was made by cold water soaking and was properly treated with drugs such as hyoscine, dexamethasone, ranitidine and losec. The amount and pH of gastric juice, change of gastric mucosa and PGs and ACTH of blood were determined. Results After rats were fasted for 24 hours a little gastric juice was aspirated. After cold water soaking of rats gastric juice was increased with the pH decreased, there was gastric mucosal bleeding, blood PGs was decreased and ACTH was increased. These suggest that on stress gastric mucosa bleeding is related with decreased gastric juice pH, decreased PGs and increase ACTH.Conclusion To control stress ulcer, pH of gastric juice and amount of PGs should be increased. Losec can increase gastric juice pH, so losec is the first choice to control stress ulcer.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the stress response of laparoscopic surgery (LS) and conventional open surgery (OS) in patients with colorectal cancer. MethodsThe literatures about the immune stress response of LS and OS for colorectal cancer were collected from PubMed, Springer, OVID, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP Database, and Wanfang Database from May 2001 to September 2014. RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis. ResultsFifteen randomized controlled trials including 881 patients were brought into this Meta analysis, of 881 patients, 424 patients were treated with LS and 457 patients were treated with OS. The results of Meta-analysis showed that:①At 24, 72, and 120 hours after surgery, the levels of interleukin (IL-6) in LS group were all lower than those of OS group at same time point[24 h (WMD=-27.78, 95% CI:-43.24--12.32, P < 0.01), 72 h (WMD=-13.23, 95% CI:-19.89--6.57, P < 0.01), 120 h (WMD=-16.51, 95% CI:-30.13--2.89, P=0.02)]. ②At 24, 72, and 120 hours after surgery, the levels of C reactive protein (CRP) in LS group were all lower than those of OS group at same time point[24 h (WMD=-31.11, 95% CI:-47.49--14.73, P < 0.01), 72 h (WMD=-29.81, 95% CI:-49.99--9.64, P < 0.01), 120 h (WMD=-32.03, 95% CI:-45.34--18.71, P < 0.01)]. ③There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in WBC level at 24 hours after surgery (WMD=-0.63, 95% CI:-1.80-0.54, P=0.29), but the WBC levels of LS group at 72 hours and 120 hours after surgery were lower than those of OS group[72 h (WMD=-0.21, 95% CI:-0.41--0.01, P=0.04), 120 h (WMD=-0.86, 95% CI:-1.66--0.06, P=0.03). ④There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in cortisol level at 24 hours and 72 hours after surgery[24 h (WMD=-60.19, 95% CI:-194.77-74.39, P=0.38), 72 h (WMD=-13.83, 95% CI:-43.94-16.28, P=0.37). ⑤There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in blood glucose level at 24 hours and 72 hours after surgery[24 h (WMD=-0.95, 95% CI:-2.74-0.84, P=0.30), 72 h (WMD=-0.69, 95% CI:-2.05-0.66, P=0.32)]. ⑥There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in insulin level (WMD=-0.52, 95% CI:-1.87-0.82, P=0.45) at 24 hours after surgery. ⑦There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) level at 24 hours after surgery (WMD=-4.18, 95% CI:-9.39-1.04, P=0.12). ConclusionCompared with open radical surgery, laparoscopic radical surgery for colorectal cancer causes less stress and less effect on the immune function, it also can reduce postoperative complications and can be propitious to faster body recovery.

Objective To investigate the correlation between stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) 1-year prognosis, to provide more clinical basis to improve the prognosis of AIS patients and to target and control the influencing factors. MethodsThe patients with AIS diagnosed for the first time and received treatment at the Shijiazhuang Fifth Hospital between May 2019 and January 2022 were retrospectively and continuously included. According to the Modified Rankin Scale score 1-year after the onset of the disease, the patients were divided into a good prognosis group and a poor prognosis group. Also the patients were divided into 2 groups based on the median of SHR. The correlation between SHR and stress blood glucose was analyzed, and the factors affecting the prognosis of AIS patients were identified. The predictive value of SHR and stress blood glucose on the prognosis of AIS patients was compared using receiver operating characteristic. Results A total of 206 patients were included. Among them, there were 125 cases (60.7%) in the good prognosis group and 81 cases (39.3%) in the poor prognosis group. The median SHR (lower quartile, upper quartile) is 1.20 (1.08, 1.33). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the scores of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, diabetes history, hypertension history, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, stress blood glucose, age, SHR and SHR classification (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the other indicators compared between the two groups (P＞0.05). Stress blood glucose was positively correlated with SHR (7.95±1.78 vs. 1.21±0.19; r=0.294, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that stress blood glucose and SHR were independent factors influencing the 1-year prognosis of AIS patients (P<0.05), and the interaction between SHR and diabetes was not significant (P>0.05) After adjusting for confounding factors, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of SHR for the prognosis of AIS patients was higher than that of stress blood glucose [0.682 (0.614, 0.745) vs .0.585 (0.515, 0.653); Z=2.042, P=0.041]. Conclusions SHR and stress blood glucose are independent risk factors for 1-year prognosis in AIS patients. However, SHR has a better predictive value for 1-year prognosis in AIS patients than stress blood glucose. Whether the patient has diabetes or not, the impact of SHR on the prognosis of AIS patients is consistent.
Objective To explore the change of gene expression of stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) and its upstream signalregulated molecule ——mitogen activated protein kinases(MAPKs) (MKK4 and MKK7) in hypertrophic scar and autocontrol normal skin. Methods The total RNA was isolated from 8 hypertrophic scars and 8 auto-control skin, and then mRNA was purified. The gene expressions of MKK4, MKK7 and SAPK were examined with reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method. Results In hypertrophic scar, both MKK7 and SAPK genes weakly expressed. In auto-control skin, the expression of these 2 genes was significantly elevated in comparison with hypertrophic scar (Plt;0.01). The expression levelsof these 2 genes were 1.5 times and 2.6 times as long as those of hypertrophic scar, respectively. Gene expression of MKK4 had no significant difference between autocontrol skin and hypertrophic scar (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Decreased gene expression of MKK7 and SAPK which results in reducing cell apoptosis might be one of the mechanisms for controlling the formation of hypertrophic scar.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms of anabolism intensified by recombination human growth hormone (GH) on the basis of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) during postoperative in gastrointestinal carcinoma patients. MethodsNinety-four gastrointestinal carcinoma patients undergone operation were randomly divided into TPN group and TPN+GH group. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were detected in the first, third, seventh postoperative day. ResultsThe levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were significantly lower in TPN+GH group than those in the TPN group at the first, third, seventh postoperative day （P＜0.01）. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP were significantly higher at the indicated time of postoperative days than the pre-operative days in the two groups (P＜0.01）. ConclusionBy inhibiting TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 and CRP production in gastrointestinal carcinoma patients undergone operation and blocking high catabolism induced by inflammatory cytokines, GH promotes the synthesis of anabolism.
