Objective To investigate the causes of the complications occurred after repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations and to discuss their nursing interventions. Methods A total of 54 embolization procedures were performed in 17 patients with huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The causes of complications were carefully examined and the preventive measures were discussed. The prompt and necessary nursing interventions were formulated in order to prevent the complications or serious consequences. Results Among the total 17 patients, one patient gave up the treatment because of the cerebral hemorrhage which occurred two months after receiving 3 times of embolization therapy. One patient experienced cerebral vascular spasm during the procedure, which was relieved after antispasmodic medication and no neurological deficit was left behind. Two patients developed transient dizziness and headache, which were alleviated spontaneously. One patient presented with nervousness, fear and irritability, which made him hard to cooperate with the operation and the basis intravenous anesthesia was employed. No complications occurred in the remaining cases. Conclusion The predictive nursing interventions for the prevention of complications are very important for obtaining a successful repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations, which will ensure that the patients can get the best treatment and the complications can be avoided.

Objective To understand the scientific research competitive power in clinical medicine and the role of F1000 in assessment of scientific research competitive power in the top 10 colleges and universities in China . Methods F1000-covered papers on clinical medicine published by the top 10 colleges and universities in China from 2005 to 2014 were retrieved.A database was established using Excel and analyzed by SPSS 20.0.Results The number of F1000-covered papers increased significantly although the scientific achievements needed to be fur-ther recognized in the world.Conclusion The scientific research competitive power in colleges and universities can be effectively assessed in different aspects.The F1000-covered data are very convincing due to its strict operational mechanisms .

Objective To study the internalization mediated by heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) receptors expressed on the surface of dendritic cells (DCs). Methods DCs from C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow were divided into HSP70 receptor-blocking group, non-receptor-blocking group and control group. The HSP70-FITC positive cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results FCM indicated that in HSP70 receptor-blocking group, the HSP70 receptors could be almost totally blocked by 50?g HSP70. With the increase of HSP70-FITC dosage, the number of HSP70-FITC positive cells increased. In non-receptor-blocking group, the rates of the HSP70-FITC positive cells were up to 90% either when 50?g HSP70-FITC or 100?g HSP70-FITC was used with no remarkable difference between them. Conclusions The internalization mediated by HSP70 receptors plays a major role in the stage of ingestion of HSP70 with the characteristics of saturation and priority. Once the receptors are blocked, non-receptor pathway participates in internalization in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective:To investigate the infusion methods of postoperative enteral nutrition in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:86 patients with gastric cancer received radical operationin our hospital from January 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled for the study and randomly divided into continuous infusion group and periodic infusion group,each group with 43 cases.Patients in continuous infusion group were given postoperative continuous enteral nutrition for 24 h in one day,while cases in periodic infusion group were given postoperative continuous enteral nutrition for 15-17 h in one day.Results of enteral nutrition,physical indicators including upper arm skinfold,diameter of midpoint of upper arm and grip strength,nutritional indexes including total protein (TP),hemoglobin (Hb),albumin (AIb),prealbumin (PA) and transferrin(TF),immune indicators including immunoglobulin G(IgG),immunoglobulin M (IgM),immunoglobulin A (IgA),CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+were compared between two groups before and after operation.Results:Intolerance of enteral nutrition occurred in 1 case(2.3％) of continuous infusion group and 3 cases(7.0％) of periodic infusiongroup,and there was no significant difference between them (P＞0.05).Time of transition to full enteral nutrition and taking off the tube to self-feeding incontinuous infusion group were significantly smaller than that in periodic infusion group (P＜0.05).There were no significant difference in baseline data,physical indicators,nutritional indexes and immune indicators between them before operation (P＞0.05).PA level at 5 d,10 d after operation in continuous infusion group were significantly higher than that in periodic infusion group (P＜0.05),and there were no significant difference in physical indicators,other nutritional indexes and immune indicators between them after operation(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Compared with periodic infusion,continuous infusion method could shorten the time of transition to full enteral nutrition and taking off the tube to self-feeding in patients after radical operation of gastric cancer,and had more significant effect of improvement of nutritional status,worthy of clinical popularization and application.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a preparative separation method for euphol reference substance in Euphorbia pekinensis. METHODS:Parts of petroleum ether extraction from E. pekinensis ethanol extract were separated by silica gel column chromatogra-phy with petroleum ether-ethyl acetate(95∶5-70∶30,V/V)by gradient elution. The enriched fractions of euphol were collected. With the methanol repeated recrystallization,nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR)method,mass spectrometry(MS)meth-od and other spectroscopic methods were used to identify the chemical structures,and thin layer chromatography (TLC),UV, HPLC-UV,HPLC-MS were combined to detect the mass fraction. RESULTS:The mass fraction of euphol reference substance sepa-rated from E. pekinensis was>99%. CONCLUSIONS:The reference substance of euphol acquired by this method meet the relative requirements of the chemical reference substance in the content dertermination of TCM new drug quality standard. It provides chemi-cal reference substance for the quality control of E. pekinensis and prescription preparations containing E. pekinensis and the basic research of effective substances.
