Objective: To study the roles of nuclear factor (NF-kB) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) in cerebral ischemic preconditioning induced brain ischemic tolerance. Methods: A total of 100 clean rats were randomly allocated into 4 groups: control, ischemic, preconditioning, and ischemic preconditioning groups. Both focal and ischemic preconditioning models were induced. The neuroethological score, infarct volume ratio and expression of NF-kB and ICAM-1 in the ischemic region at the corresponding time points were observed. Results: Circled digit one The neurological deficit score in the ischemic group was higher than that in the ischemic preconditioning group. The cerebral infarction volume ratio was higher than that in the ischemic preconditioning group (28.6 ± 3.2% vs. 16.2 ± 3.8%, t = 2.668 [P < 0.05]), and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Circled digit two The number of NF-KB positive cells in the ischemic preconditioning group were lower than those in the ischemic group at the same time points, but they were higher than those in the preconditioning group, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). The peak time of the number of NF-KB positive cells in the ischemic preconditioning group was delayed for 48 hours. Circled digit three The numbers of ICAM-1 positive cells in the ischemic preconditioning group were less than those in the ischemic group at the same time points, but they were higher than those in the preconditioning group, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ischemic preconditioning decreases the expression of NF-KB and ICAM-1 after ischemia. The inhibition of inflammatory reaction may be one of the mechanisms of the ischemic tolerance induced by ischemic preconditioning.

Eighty cases of intrauterine adhesions who received adhesion separation technique were divided into two groups equally. The control group was placed intrauterine device and ballon catheter in intrauterine,and received o-ral female estrogen cycle treatment. The test group with the same treatment was added growth hormone treatment. Three months later,all of the patients were checked the hysteroscopy and intrauterine device was took out, also the uterine cavity form,and follow-up recovery of endometrial and menses were evaluated. Then it showed:①Endome-trial thickness increased by an average of (1.73±0.83) mm in the test group,while the control group average in-creased by (1.10±0.66) mm. The difference was statistically significant (t=3.73,P<0.01).② The re-adhe-sion rate was 45.0% in the control group,while it was 32.5% in the test group,respectively. The difference was not statistically significant. ③ The difference of mensual recovery between both groups was not statistical significant. Therefore growth hormone can promote the growth of endometrium of intrauterine adhesions after resection of adhe-sions.

AIM: To investigate the effects of atorvastatin calcium on vascular endothelial cells and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEPCs) in hypertensive rats. METHODS: Renal hypertension rat model was constructed with two-kidney-one-clip technique. Twenty-four male SD rats were randomized into hypertension group, statins group and sham-operated group (n=8 each). On the 4th week, the animals in statins group were injected with 20 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) atorvastatin calcium intra-abdominally for 8 weeks. Blood pressure and blood lipid were measured at 4th and 12th week post-operation. On the 12th week, scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the damage of aortic endothelial cells. The circulatory endothelial cell count, CEPCs count, CEPCs proliferation ability, CEPCs adhesion ability and CEPCs apoptosis were also measured. RESULTS: The injury of endothelial cells in statins group was observed, milder than that in hypertension group, but worsen than that in sham-operated group. The numbers of circulatory endothelial cells in hypertension group, statin treatment group and sham-operated group were 5.9×10~6, 3.9×10~6 and 2.0×10~6 respectively, and the CEPCs apoptosis rate was 22.1%±2.1%, 13.4%±1.6 %and 7.4%±1.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, the numbers of CEPCs were 21.63±2.33, 40.38±6.00 and 65.38±2.97, respectively, the proliferative abilities of CEPCs were 0.13±0.01, 0.17±0.01 and 0.29±0.03, respectively, and the adhesion of CEPCs was 12.25±2.49, 21.50±2.20 and 28.88±2.85, respectively. CONCLUSION: (1) The severity of vascular endothelial cell injury is related to hypertension states. (2) Atorvastatin calcium has direct protective effects on endothelial cells, possibly through increasing CEPCs count, reducing CEPCs apoptosis and markedly enhancing reparation ability of CEPCs to endothelial cells.

Hybrid procedure is an method that combines surgery and intervenfional catheterization. As collaboration between surgeon and interventionalist has improved, the procedures for complex congenital heart disease is progressing and developing remarkably. Combining echocardiography monitoring in hybrid surgical procedure of complex congenital heart disease not only reduces side effect of extracorporeal circulation and operation time, but also retrieves blind spot of interventional catheterization for infant and low weight baby. Currently it is applied in the field of atrial septal defect, muscular ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis and post-operation residual shunts or stenosis.

Objective To investigate the status of undergraduate nursing faculty's structural empowerment and job satisfaction and to analyze the correlation between themn.Methods Totally 246 nursing teachers were investigated with Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire Ⅱ and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire.The correlation between structural empowerment and job satisfaction were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Results Undergraduate nursing faculty's total score was (3.04±0.57) points,and score of job satisfaction was (2.93±0.59) points,both of which were at moderate level.Structural empowerment was positively correlated with job satisfaction (r=0.450-0.714,P＜0.01),the higher structural empowerment level,the higher job satisfaction.Conclusions Undergraduate nursing managers can improve nursing teachers' job satisfaction by strengthening the empowerment to nursing teachers,in order to enhance the teaching quality.

Objective: To study the relationship between mental health and achievement motivation of teachers.Methods: 322 high school teachers completed SCL-90 and Achievement Motivation Scale.Results: The percent of high-score teachers with at least one SCL-90 subscale scored more than 3 is more than 5%.There is obvious correlation between the score of SCL-90 and the AMS's.Conclusion: The high level of achievement-seeking or the high level of failure-avoiding is harmful to the mental health of teachers.
