Objective To observe the dynamics of F1 antibody and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in cats after vaccinated Yersinia pestis,to discuss the significance of detection of F1 antibody and IgM in surveillance of animal plague.Methods The 3 cats were vaccinated Yersinia pestis on their backs with muhipoint hypodermic injection and blood samples were collected via femoral vein on 3rd to 521st days after injection.F1 antibody was detected by sandwich Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and IgM of F1 antibody was determined with a capture antibody.Results After vaccinated Yersinia pestis for 3rd days,F1 antibody and IgM appeared slightly positive,with the titer of 1 ∶ 22.00 and 1 ∶ 20.33,respectively.The titer of F1 antibody increased to 1 ∶ 25.33 on the 4th day,and reached the peak of 1 ∶ 29.67 on the 97th day,kept 1 ∶ 25.33 on the 521st day.While the titer of IgM reached peak of 1 ∶ 212.00 on the 7th to 10th days,and decreased rapidly to below the positive standard on the 30th day.Conclusions Detection of F1 antibody in cats with plague by sandwich ELISA can trace plague prevalence in animals back to a long time,which may be applied for investigation of plague foci.A single serum sample can determine early animal plague with a capture antibody to detect IgM of F1 antibody in cat with the plague,and a single serum sample tested with the two methods at the same time for detection of F1 antibody and IgM can precisely verify the infection time of plague in animals for 3 to 7 days.

Objective To synthesize a lipophilic prodrug of triptolide (TP) and improve its druggability .Methods Trip-tolidestearate (TP-SA)was synthesized via the DMAP-catalyzed DCC method and identified by MS ,1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The shake-flask method was used to study the oil/water partition coefficient .The preparations of TP and TP-SA liposomes and emulsions were compared .Their encapsulation efficiency and stability were investigated .Results TP-SA was synthesized suc-cessfully .Its log P in octanol/water system was 2 .33 .It was difficult to prepare TP liposome or emulsion .By contrast ,TP-SA liposome and emulsion can be prepared successfully with the same formulation process .The particle size of TP-SA lipo-somes were about 90 nm and TP-SA emulsions were about 110 nm .The encapsulation efficiency was above 95% .Their stabili-ty were studied at 4℃ and 25℃ .The preparation parameters ,such as particle size and encapsulation efficiency ,had no signif-icant change in a week .Conclusion Triptolide stearate enhanced drug lipophilicity .Its druggability was improved significant-ly .These data can be used for the TP related drug design and development .

Objective:To evaluate the effect of zoledronic acid administration for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) after treatment with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was performed on 430 elderly patients with OVCF admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2012 to December 2016. There were 31 males and 399 females, with age of 52-92 years[(72.8±8.3)years]. Fracture segments were at T 5-T 10 (82 vertebrae), T 11-L 2 (389 vertebrae) and L 3-L 5 (173 vertebrae). In zoledronic acid group ( n=178), patients were given zoledronic acid 3 days after PKP surgery. In basic treatment group ( n=252), patients were only given basic treatment after PKP surgery. Bone mineral density was measured before operation and one year after operation. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were assessed before operation, 3 days and one year after operation. Incidence rate of refracture, mortality and complication rate were recorded after operation. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-60 months (mean, 27 months). Before operation and at postoperative 1 year, the vertebral bone mineral density in zoledronic acid group was (-2.3±1.5)SD and (-1.2±2.3)SD ( P<0.05), and that in basic treatment group was (-2.2±1.2)SD and (-2.1±1.1)SD ( P>0.05). At postoperative 1 year, the bone mineral density in zoledronic acid group was significantly better than that in basic treatment group ( P<0.05). At preoperative 3 days, postoperative 3 days and postoperative 1 year, the VAS was (8.6±0.8)points, (2.8±0.8)points, (2.1±0.8)points in zoledronic acid group, and was (8.5±1.1)points, (2.9±0.9)points, (3.0±2.3)points in basal treatment group; ODI was 48.7±5.3, 24.0±2.9, 22.3±3.3 in zoledronic acid group, and was 48.3±6.1, 24.5±3.8, 27.6±4.0 respectively in basal treatment group. The VAS and ODI were significantly reduced in two groups at postoperative 3 days and 1 year compared to those before operation ( P<0.05). Moreover, the VAS and ODI in zoledronic acid group were significantly lower than those in basal treatment group at postoperative 1 year ( P<0.05). At postoperative 2 years, the incidence rate of refracture in zoledronic acid group was 10.1%(18/178), significantly lower than 16.7%(43/252) in basic treatment group ( P<0.05). Mortality rate in zoledronic acid group was 5.1%(9/178), and that in basic treatment group was 6.3%(16/252) ( P>0.05). No serious complications were observed in both groups such as nerve injury or pulmonary embolism. Conclusion:For OVCF patients, zoledronic acid given after PKP can improve the bone mineral density, reduce pain, fasten function recovery, and effectively decrease the refracture rate.

Twenty general practice residents who received training in Tongren Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were enrolled. The residents undertook rotation in chronic disease care clinic of the general medicine department, and a multi-disciplinary integrated teaching mode was applied. The theoretical knowledge test, skill assessment and self-evaluation were performed before and after rotation. The 360-degree evaluation was carried out when leaving the department (study group), the results were compared with that of internal medicine (control group) in the same period. The teaching effect was comprehensively evaluated. The scores of theoretical knowledge and skill assessment after rotation were significantly higher than those before rotation ( P<0.01). The self-evaluated ability was significantly higher than that at admission, especially in general practice thinking (7.85±0.88), doctor-patient communication (7.95±0.69), health education (7.80±0.70) and disease management (8.20±0.62) ( P<0.01). The 360-degree evaluation showed that the study group was better than the control group in interpersonal communication skills [(4.75±0.44) vs. (4.41±0.50)], system-based work ability[(4.75±0.44) vs. (4.31±0.47)], practice-based learning and improvement [(4.80±0.41) vs. (4.33±0.48)], patient care [(4.75±0.44) vs. (4.28±0.46)] and training mode satisfaction [(4.85±0.37) vs. (4.38±0.49)] (all P<0.05). The study indicates that the multi-disciplinary integrated teaching mode applied for rotation in the chronic disease care clinic of the general medicine department can improve the teaching effect and raise the teaching quality for general practice residency training.

Objective    To investigate the operation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), the use of TAVR instruments and the current situation of TAVR-related nursing in our country, to reveal the characteristics of TAVR in various hospitals in our country, and to provide reference data for improving perioperative nursing and industry development of TAVR. Methods    A questionnaire survey was conducted among the head nurses of the cardiac catheterization laboratories of 51 hospitals in China that carried out TAVR operations, with a total of 5 items and 23 questions. The current situation of TAVR operation methods, intraoperative instruments and nursing care in China were analyzed. Results    The number of hospitals in China which started conducting TAVR and the beginning year were: 2 in 2010, 1 in 2012, 1 in 2013, 1 in 2015, 11 in 2016, 13 in 2017, 15 in 2018 and 7 in 2019; the number of transfemoral TAVR in 2019: 32 (62.75%) hospitals conducted on less than 20 patients, 7 (13.73%) hospitals 20-<50 patients, 6 (11.76%) hospitals 50-100 patients and 6 (11.76%) hospitals more than 100 patients; TAVR strategies adopted by most hospitals were: general anesthesia (90.20%), the use of vascular sealers (80.39%), backing by cardiac surgeon (74.51%) and using homemade prosthetic valves. Conclusion     At present, the number of TAVR carried out in Chinese hospitals is still far behind that of developed countries in Europe and the United States. Our country has adopted the form of multi-disciplinary cardiac team cooperation and formed a TAVR nursing model with Chinese characteristics.
