ObjectiveTo study the correlation between blast lung injury (BLI) and acute posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) through the establishment of the model about blasting injury of rats.Methods84 SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups:the normal control group( A),the model groups ( B,C) and the sham model group(D).21 rats in each group.The chest of the model group and sham model group rats,respectively,were exposed to 8＃ instantaneous electric detonator at different distances.Then,emotion and behavior of rats was observed through open field test and elevated plus maze test,at day 1,14,28 after blasting.Group A was not given the explosion of stress treatment.After testing,each group was randomly picked up seven rats for succumbing to draw blood which was used to detecting the level of plasma corticosterone by radioimmunoassay,respectively.Results( 1 ) On day 1,it was a significant difference that the latency time ( LT),crossing frequency (CF),rearing frequency(RF) and modification frequency(MF) which were both group B( (25.34 ± 4.50)s,( 19.73 ± 11.10 ),(0.52±0.11),(0.53±0.21) respectively)and group C((22.13 ±6.54)s,(28.67 ±7.22),(1.07 ±0.26),( 0.89 ± 0.15 ) respectively ) were compared with group A,including LT,CF and RF of group D ( ( 23.71 ± 3.9 ) s,(25.13 ± 12.35 ),( 1.26 ± 0.74 ) respectively ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).Then,on day 28,although there was a significant difference which both the LT,CF and RF of group B,and the CF and RF of group C were compared with group A(P ＜ 0.05 ),no significant discrepancy was observed between group B and C (P ＞ 0.05 ).( 2 ) In the elevated plus maze test,the result was similar to the open field test.(3)On day 1 after blasting injury,it was significant distinction that the level of serum corticosterone of group B,C and D (( 153.15 ± 44.50) ng/ml,( 132.72 ±78.77)ng/ml,(96.16 ±8.96)ng/ml respectively)were higher than group A(P＜0.05).Finally,the level of serum corticosterone of group B,C and D were lower than group A on day 28 (P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionBLI model successfully induces acute stress disorder(ASD) of rots which behaved like anxiety,fear,hyperarousal and avoidance,and promots furtherly the development of ASD to PTSD,and establishes the modle of acute PTSD.

To explore the effect of comprehensive management on psychological influence in children with asthma, 60 cases with asthma was administrated by WHO global comprehensive strategy for the management of asthma including the persistent use of beclomethaone with the intermittent inhalation of salbutanmol, the lung function monitored by peak flow meter, the detection and avoidance of the induced factors, the management of the social education and the psychological intervention. All children on comprehensive management were followed one year for observation. The results showed that the rate of the total effect was 98.3%. There were all decrease significantly in the rate of the hospitalization, the rate of the emergency, and the rate of the absence for school. It was obvious that asthmatic children and their parents's confidence for the treatment of asthma enhanced significantly.Their psychological disturbance, the school grade, and the life quality were also obtained advanced improvement.

We compared the total errors observed from both precision and accuracy validation experiments with defined medically allowable errors for each quantitative test,and used Westgard's method evaluation decision chart for initial judgement of the acceptability of method validation performance. Moreover,we need to judge the acceptability of other method validation parameters,so that we could integratedly assess and judge whether the testing system is acceptable to use in the laboratory.

Objective To understand the actual psychological conditions of pregnant patients with gynecologic malignancies during chemotherapy so as to instruct the nurses to provide individualized psychological care to the patients and their relatives. Method The in-depth interviews were conducted to 7 patients by implementing the phenomenological approach of qualitative study. The acquired data were analyzed. Result The patients experienced four psychological conditions: pessimism about prognosis, anxiety to know more about the chemotherapy and guilty to their family and hope for treatment effect. Conclusion Nurses should pay attention to the psychological conditions of pregnant patients with gynecologic malignancies and help them successfully live through the treatment.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum placental growth factor (PLGF) and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM ). Methods Serum PLGF were determined by ELISA in 53 patients with T2DM ,who were divided into T2DM without carotid plague (T2DM group ,n= 27) and T2DM with carotid plague (T2DM + CAS group ,n= 26). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ,glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and some other metabolic variables were also measured. The results were compared to those of 27 healthy controls (NC group). Results Serum PLGF levels were significantly higher in T2DM group and T2DM + CAS group than in NC group (P<0.01). T2DM+CAS group showed significantly higher serum levels of PLGF compared to that of T 2DM group(P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that serum PLGF was positively correlated with TC ,LDL‐C , hsC‐RP and IL‐6 in T2DM patients (P<0.01). Similarly ,multiple regression analysis showed that LDL‐C and IL‐6 were the independent factors of serum PLGF level (P<0.05). Furthermore ,Serum PLGF was positively associated with carotid plague. Conclusion PLGF is positively related with chronic inflammation factors in T2DM patients. Serum PLGF may play an important role in the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerosis and other macroangiopathy in T 2DM.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma concentration of osteopontin (OPN) and disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods The plasma concentration of OPN in 28 healthy controls and 38 SLE patients was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results The plasma concentration of OPN was significantly higher in SLE patients compared to that in the healthy controls (420?203 ng/mL vs 73?14 ng/mL,P＜0.001),in the patients with proteinuria com- pared to that in the patients without proteinuria (623?88 ng/mL vs 288?135 ng/mL,P＜0.001),in the patients with active disease compared to that in those with inactive disease (529?143 ng/mL vs 185?66ng/mL,P＜0.001),in the patients before treatment compared to that in the patients after treatment (556?130 ng/mL vs 142?22 ng/mL,P＜0.001).The plasma concentration of OPN in patients with arthritis was not different from those without arthritis (489?153 ng/mL vs 375?222 ng/mL,P＞0.05).Plasma concentration of OPN showed a significant positive correlation with systemic lupus erythematosus disease ac- tivity index (SLEDAI) (r=0.93,P＜0.001),but a significant negative correlation with serum C3 level (r=-0.49,P＜0.05).There was no correlation between plasma concentration of OPN and antinuclear an- tibody titre,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,or serum level of C4.Conclusions These data show that plas- ma OPN level has some correlation with the SLE activity,renal damage and progression or amelioration of SLE.OPN could be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.

AlM: To investigate the effect of exogenous peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γcoactivator-1α ( PGC-1α) on vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) expression in human retinal vascular endothelial cells ( HRVEC) .METHODS:Recombinant PGC-1α protein was added to HRVEC, and no recombinant PGC-1α protein was added to HRVEC as control group. After 24h of incubation, two groups of cells were then placed into a normoxic ( 20%O2 ) or hypoxic ( 1% O2 ) environment for another 16h. The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein were detected by real - time PCR, ELlSA and immunofluorescence cytochemistry.RESULTS: VEGF mRNA and protein levels in the cells were significantly increased by recombinant PGC - 1αprotein both under normoxia and hypoxia conditions as compared with control groups (P<0. 01).CONCLUSlON: PGC-1α can upregulate the expression of VEGF in HRVEC under normoxia and hypoxia conditions.
