Objective To investigate whether hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF ) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF1) induce cardiac stem cells (CSCs) to proliferate and directly differentiate into cardiomyocytes in vitro.Methods The myocardial tissues were dissected for primary culture of CSCs with the method of explants .The expressions of c-kit and CD34 were examined with immunofluorescence .Primary cells were purified with c-kit by flow cytometry.CFDA SE fluorescent probe was used to detect the proliferation of c-kit+CSCs.C-kit +CSCs were divided into two groups , and cardiac stem cells group and co-cultured with cardiomyocytes group , both group were cultured with HGF and IGF 1.An inverted microscope was used to observe changes in cell number and morphology in different periods .Living cells workstation was used to observe CFDA SE fluorescence intensity , to acquire images and do statistical analysis .Immunofluorescence technique was used to detect the expression of Nkx 2.5 and cardiac troponin T .Results In cardiac stem cells group ,CSCs had no obvious changes in cell number .In co-cultured with cardiomyocytes group , CSCs proliferated and had changes in morphology .Nkx2.5 and cTnT were positively expressed . Several CSCs differentiated into beating cardiomyocytes . Conclusion In co-cultured with cardiomyocytes condition , HGF and IGF1 may promote CSCs to proliferate and differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes .

Objective To investigate the current state of nurse leaders′leadership and nurse physician cooperation, to explore the relationship between them, and to provide reference for improving nurse physician cooperation situation. Methods Totally 193 nurse leaders were recruited who were participated in Anhui nursing management training courses. A series of questionnaires were used to collect data, including general information, competency inventory for registered nurse, nurse physician cooperation scale. Results One hundred and eighty- two questionnaires were valid. The score of nurse managers′leadership was (27.85±6.27) points,while the score of nurse physician cooperation scale was (68.31±11.67) points. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the control of general information, leadership for the interpretation of the nurse physician cooperation level increased by 27.3% (△R2 = 0.273, P = 0.000). Conclusions Hospital managers can adopt effective strategies to raise the level of nurses' leadership, which further increases the nurse physician cooperation level.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of ultrafiltration extract from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix on PC12 cell apoptosis induced by H2O2; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods H2O2 was used in the incubation of PC12 cells to establish the oxidative damage nerve cell apoptosis model. The experiment was divided into normal control group, model group, and three different dosages (0.375, 0.75, 1.5 g/L) of ultra-filtration extracted from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix after modeling for interference. Rate of cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; mitochondrial membrane potential was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy; the protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, rates of cell apoptosis in the different dosage groups decreased significantly; membrane potential of mitochondria increased; the protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax decreased; the expression of Bcl-2 increased; the ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax increased (P<0.05).Conclusion The ultra-filtration extracted from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix can inhibit PC12 cell apoptosis induced by H2O2.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Survivin and programmed cell death 5(PDCD5)protein in mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC).Methods:Survivin and PDCD5 were detected by immunohistochemical staining in 20 cases of normal parotid tis-sue(group A),40 cases of pleomorphic adenoma(group B)and 45 cases of MEC tissues(group C).Results:The positive expres-sion ratio of Survivin in group A,B and C was 10.0%,27.5% and 55.6% respectively(χ2 =14.556,P <0.01),while that of PD-CD5 was 85%,65% and 33.3% respectively (χ2 =17.439,P <0.01).The expression of survivin or PDCD5 was related with dif-ferentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM staging of MEC.Survivin and PDCD5 showed a negative correlation in MEC(χ2 =4.500,P =0.034,γs =-0.316).Conclusion:Survivin over-expression and PDCD5 down-expression may play a role in the de-velopment and progress of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

AIM: To study the changes of bacterial ultrastructure, membrance potential and membrance patency of Escherichia coli during the postantibiotic effect after exposure to gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin in order to investigate the mechanisms of PAE. METHODS: During the Postantibiotic effect after exposure to gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin, the aliquots were taken from the bacterial culture at regular intervals. Then the fluorescence microscope was used to observe changes in bacterial ultrastructure and at the same time we studied the changes of membrance potential and membrance patency in Escherichia coli during the postantibiotic effect by flow cytometry in conjunction with fluorescent probes. RESULTS: The PAE phase characterized by filament formation after exposure to gatifloxacin by fluorescence microscopy,yet no significant changes in membrance potential and membrance patency of Escherichia coli were observed. CONCLUSION: Gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin can induce filamentation, and this change is indifferent with membrance potential and membrance patency of Escherichia coli.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effects of intraperitoneal lithium chloride injection on radicular pain behaviors in rats.Methods Using rat model of radicular pain induced by chronic compression of dorsal root ganglion(CCD) ,40 male SD rats were randomly divided into model group and Sham-operation group (group S, n= 12) of radicular pain were established.The rats in the model group were subdivided randomly into Control group(group C, n= 12) ,Early treatment group(group E, n=8) and Later treatment group(group L, n= 8 ).Rats in group E were intraperitoneal injected with lithium chloride once daily on day 2 ~ 4 after CCD respectively,while rats in L,group C and S treated with Vehicle(0.9% NaCl).Rats in L group were intraperitoneal treated with lithium chloride on day 12 ~ 14 after CCD respectively,while rats in E,group C and S received Vehicle.The pain ethology indexes such as paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) were tested on day 1 before operation and day 1,4,7,10, 14, 17 and 21 after operation.Results Compared to S group and preoperative level, PWMT and PWTL decreased at Day 1 postoperative in group C (P<0.05).At day 4 after the operation,compared with group C(7.712 ±0.237)g and (8.190 ±0.382) s,PWMT and PWTL of E group increased to ( 14.607 ± 0,280) g and ( 19.940 ± 0.933 ) s (P < 0.05 ) after intraperitoneal injected lithium chloride.At day 14, compared with group C ( 6.788 ± 0.331 ) g and ( 7.301 ± 0.481 ) s, PWMT and PWTL of group L increased to ( 11.700 ± 0.379) 8 and ( 18.524 ± 1.060) s (P < 0.05 ).This analgesic effect of lithium chloride continued to exist at day 21.However, there was still a significant difference between S group and E,group L(P<0.05).Conclusion Intraperitoneal lithium chloride injection alleviates pain behavior on radicular pain in rats.
