The fine structure of MMC-1 mouse macrophage-like cells was studied by means of electron microscopy. Electron micrographs of these macrophages revealed dark cells, light cells and empty cells according to their density. These three cell types could also be found in other cultural cell lines.The dark cells had the highest electron density. They were round, elliptical or spindle-like in shape and many protrusions were observed on the cell surface. The endoplasm and ectoplasm could be divided clearly. There Were no organelles in the latter. In the endoplasm mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum and polyribosome were abundant, lysosomes, Golgi complexes and microfilaments were easily found. Nucleus with irregular shape located in one side of the cell, euchromatins were prominent, and nucleoli appeared in some cells. Light cells had less cytoplasmic processes, dilated mitochondria, abundant lysosomes, fat droplets and dilated nuclei. Empty cells had only a little cytoplasmic processes, less endoplasmic reticulum and a lot of primary and secondary lysosomes. Sparse chromatins were distributed in the dilated nucleus.According to these fine structures and the origin of this cell line the name of the macrophage-like cell line was suggested.

The phagocytosis of opsonic chicken erythrocytes which were engulfed byMMC-1 cells was studied by means of transmission electron microscopy.After incu-bating chicken erythrocytes with the serum of rabbit-anti chicken antibody.MMC-1cells were surrounded by 1 to more than 10 opsonized erythrocytes.The EA rosetteswere formed.At first,opsonized erythrocytes attached to the MMC-1 cells in somepoints.At the site of interaction of opsonized erythrocytes with MMC-1 cells theelectron dense bands which were the specialization of the MMC-1 cell plasma mem-brane appeared.Then many projections of the erythrocytes were engulfed intoMMC-1 cells.When part of the erythrocyte was engulfed by macrophage,a collar-like structure arround the erythrocyte could be seen.Partially engulfed erythrocyteslooked like a dumbbell.The engulfed erythrocytes were irregular in shape.Thedensity of engulfed erythrocytes became faint gradually.The round ring with highelectron density appeared and enlarged in erythrocytes.It was shown that the opso-nized erythrocytes which formed EA rosettes were engulfed by MMC-1 phagocyte.After engulfing many erythrocytes,MMC-1 cells might degenerated or be engulfedby other MMC-1 cells.It was proved that Fc receptors presented on MMC-1 cells.Many mitochondria were easily found in MMC-1 cells,they were responsible forenergy supplies.Extruding of engulfed nuclei from macrophage could be seen too.It was shown that MMC-1 cells had the characteristics of macrophage and it wasestablished by cell fusion of phagocyte and thymoma cell.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of health belief mode1 system nursing education on lymphedema risk-reduction behavior,incidence and quality of life in post-operation breast cancer patients.MethodsA total of 225 patients who were underwent surgery by inclusion criteria and then were randomly divided into the intervention group ( n =109 ) and the control group ( n =106 ).The control group was given routine education,while the intervention group was given health belief model system education in addition routine education.Patients were followed up for at least 12 months,and the implementation of lymphedema risk-reduction behavior,quality of life,and the incidence of lymphedema of two groups were compared.ResultsThe implementation of lymphedema risk-reduction behavior were higher in intervention group than that in control group with statistically significantly difference(P ＜ 0.05 ).The incidence of lymphedema was 16.5％ in intervention group,37.7％ in control group,the difference was significantly in two groups.Scores for general quality of life (107.81 ± 10.10),emotional well-being ( 19.72 ± 3.74 ),functional well-being( 18.58 ± 3.34 ),social/family well-being( 21.85 ± 3.69 ),concerns specific to breast cancer patients(24.47 ± 3.59) were higher in intervention group than those in control group( ( 101.07 ±10.54),(18.48 ± 3.63),(14.79 ± 3.22),(20.39 ± 4.82),(23.10 ± 4.78)) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Health belief model system nursing intervention can improve the implementation of lymphedema risk-reduction behavior,decrease the incidence of lymphedema and increase long-term quality of life of the breast cancer patients.

Aim To investigate the role of substance P in the brain of asthmatic rats.Methods Rats were injected with aluminum hydroxide and OVA allergens to prepare the animal model of asthma. Then the content of c-fos protein in asthmatic rats' brain was detected by immunohistochemical method (SABC).The content of substance P in paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the content of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in median eminence (ME), and the content of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone (CORT) in peripheral blood were detected by radioimmunoassay method. Then exogenous SP, SP receptor antagonist S0145 were microinjected in PVN to observe their effect upon lung function and HPA axis in asthmatic rats. Results In asthmatic rats, the content of SP increased within the PVN. The content of CRH, ACTH and CORT decreased (P<0.05).The ratio of expiratory and inspiratory and airway resistance increased. Diaphragm discharge points and lung compliance decreased (P<0.01).After microinject of SP in PVN, there was a further decrease in pulmonary function and the content of CORT, ACTH and CRH in asthmatic rats (P<0.01).While the SP receptor antagonist S0145 might reverse the change of lung function and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) in asthmatic rats.Conclusion In asthmatic rats the SP in PVN can affect the function of HPA axis, involved in asthma attacks.

Objective To investigate the career resilience and its influencing factors among nurse specialists.Methods Totally 288 nurse specialists were investigated by General Information Questionnaire,Career Resilience Scale,Core Self-Evaluations Scale and Simplified Coping Style Scale.Results The score was 37.12±4.78 for career resilience,35.46±4.78 for core self-evaluations,23.57±5.2 1 for positive coping,and 9.39±3.74 for negative coping,respectively.There were statistic difference (P＜0.01) among the total score and 2 dimensions score of career resilience on different level of self-assessment of health among specialist nurses.Specialist nurses,career resilience had a obvious positive correlation with the age,nursing age,core self-evaluations,and positive coping(P＜ 0.01).The results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age,self-assessment of health,positive coping and core self-evaluations entered the regression equation of career resilience.Positive coping was a partial intermediate variable of core self-evaluations and career resilience.Conclusion The level of career resilience is medium and it should be enhanced among nurse specialists.The age,self-assessment of health,positive coping and core self-evaluations are possible influencing factors of career resilience.And core self-evaluations can improve career resilience of specialist nurses via the effects of positive coping.
