Objective To analyze the main causes of sources of stress for nurses in cardiovascular department. Methods We selected 110 nurses from three class-one hospitals in Chengdu and divided them into the nurses in cardiovascular department (the research group) and nurses in other departments (the control group). We compared the two groups in the following aspects: family, society, interpersonal relationship, work nature and work strength, continuing education and professional demand. In view of the high spirit stress existed in nurses in cardiovascular department, some corresponding stress-relief strategies were adopted. Results Two groups were statistically different in social, interpersonal relationship, work nature and work strength, continuing education and professional demand. While in the aspect of family, no difference was seen. Conclusions nurses in cardiovascular department had high spirit stress in social, interpersonal relationship, work nature and work strength, continuing education and professional demand. To analyze sources of stress and stress-relief strategy for them could improve physical and psychological health of them and thus enhance nursing quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of delighted thinking on improving negative emotion of depression patients. Methods 100 depression patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 50 in each according to admission sequence. Both groups was executed antidepressionant drugs treatment and routine psychiatric care simultaneously. The observation group was given delighted thinking training on the basis of above treatment. The emotional recovery of two groups was observed. Results There was significant difference on facial expression, communication and limbs language after executing delighted thinking training in the observation group. And there was significant difference on scores of Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) at discharge. Scores of Nurses' Observation Scale during early, middle and late stage of delighted thinking training greatly improved compared with those before training. Conclusions Delighted thinking contributes to throw off negative thinking pattern of self-denial, stimulate positive passion threshold, improve depressed mood and raise treatment effect for depression patients.

Objective To construct prokaryotic expression systems of genes of intact rotavirus non -structural protein 4 (NSP4) and 86 to 175 amino acid peptide of NSP4 (NSP486-175) and to identify the bio-activities of the recombinant expression products .Methods Colloidal gold assay was used to screen group A rotavirus antibody-positive stools , from which the viral RNA was extracted and transcribed into cDNA .Then NSP4 gene and NSP486-175 gene were amplified by PCR and inserted into pET-28a(+) vector to construct the prokaryotic expression plasmids of pET-28a(+)-NSP4 and pET-28a(+)-NSP486-175 , which were transformed into E.coli BL21( DE3) and inducted by IPTG .The expressed NSP486-175 protein was purified by Ni-NTA af-finity chromatography and examined by Western blot .Fluo-3 AM ester was used to label intracellular free Ca2+( [ Ca2+] i) in Caco-2 cells and laser scanning confocal microscopy was performed to detect the effect of NSP486-175 protein on [Ca2+]i.Results DNA sequencing indicated that NSP4 gene and NSP486-175 gene were consistent with the corresponding sequences in NCBI .The intact NSP4 had difficulty in expressing in E.coli. NSP486-175 protein mainly existed in soluble form with a relative molecular weight of 10×103 .Fluorescence in-tensity and distribution were changed by exogenous addition of NSP 486-175 to cultured Caco-2 cells.Conclu-sion The expression vectors of pET-28a(+)-NSP4 and pET-28a(+)-NSP486-175 were successfully construc-ted and the target protein could induce [Ca2+]i imbalance.This phenomenon preliminarily indicates that the prokaryotic expressed NSP486-175 protein has biological activity and can be further used to elucidate rotavirus pathogenic mechanisms and perform vaccine research .

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in spinal dorsal horns in neuropathic pain (NP) in rats and its effect on activation of astrocytes.Methods In vivo experiment Sixty-four male SPF Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 180-200 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:control group (group C,n =16),sham operation group (group S,n =24) and group NP (n =24).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium,the L5,6 spinal nerves of the left side of the rat were gently separated and exposed,tightly ligated with 5-0 silk suture and transected.In group S,the L5,6 spinal nerves of the left side of the rat were only exposed.In group C,no operation was performed.Mechanical pain threshold was measured at day 1 before operation and days 1,3,5,7,10 and 14 after operation.The expression of IL-17,IL-6,IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was determined using quantitative real-time PCR at day 7 and day 14 after operation.At day 7 after operation,the activation of astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn was detected.In vitro experiment Primarily cultured astrocytes of neonatal rats were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C,n=22),10 ng/ml IL-17 group (I10 group,n=18),50 ng/ml IL-17 group (I50 group,n-18) and 100 ng/ml IL-17 group (I100 group,n=22).In I10,I50 and I100 groups,the astrocytes were incubated with the culture medium containing 10,50 and 100 ng/ml IL-17,respectively.The proliferation of astrocytes was detected by MTT at 24,48 and 72 h of incutation or culture.The expression of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA was determined using quantitative real-time PCR.Results In vivo experiment Compared with group C,the mechanical pain threshold was significantly decreased at 3-14 days after operation,the expression of IL-17,IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was up-regualted at 7 days after operation,and the activation of astrocytes was increased in group NP,and no significant change was detected in the mechanical pain threshold at each time point after operation in group S.In vitro experiment Compared with group C,the proliferation of astrocytes was significantly increased at 48 h of incubation in I10 and I50 groups,the proliferation of astrocytes was significantly increased at 48 and 72 h of incubation,and the expression of IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA was up-regulated in I100 group,and no significant change was found in the proliferation of astrocytes in group S.Conclusion Up-regulated expression of IL-17 in spinal dorsal horns may be involved in the maintenance of NP,and the mechanism is related to promoted activation of astrocytes and induced inflammatory responses in rats.

Objective To investigate the surgical method of treating the third ventricle cysticercosis with neuroendoscopy and to discuss the related problems. Methods Clinical data of 7 cases of the third ventricle cysticercosis from July 2009 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients aged from 12 to 49 and all of them received endoscopic resection of the third ventricle cysticercosis and orally taken Albendazole after surgery. Results The symptoms of high intracranial pressure in patients show different levels of releasing, except 1 case with postoperative fever symptoms, the other patients had no other palpable complications. After rechecked by CT and MRI, the size and shape of ventricle of all patients improved to varying degrees and hydrocephalus symptoms was relieved that all cases were satisfactory. Conclusions The treatment of neuroendoscopy aimed to the third ventricle cysticercosis is simple, safe and with less postoperative complications, which should be the preferred treatmnt to the third ventricle.

【Objective】 To analyze the status and influencing factors of blood donation among medical college on going students, so as toassist in implementing targeted measures to expand and stabilize the group of college blood donors. 【Methods】 The cross-sectional survey method was used to carry out the field questionnaire survey. 【Results】 128 people participated in blood donation, and the blood donation rate was 16%. Gender, the knowledge and intention towards blood donation, and behavior of peers were the influencing factors revealed by the logistic regression analysis (P<0.05). In addition, the publicity and service provided by blood stations were also important factors. 【Conclusion】 The publicity of voluntary blood donation should be improved in colleges to raise the donation intention of college students.Service provided by blood centers should also be improved to ease donation fear, so as to expand the college donor population.
