Objective:To constract a method of measurement microamount hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) using sensitive sulphur electrode. Methods: According to the physical and chemical characters of H_2S, H_2S, which in the fluids by mean of physical dissolve and chemical shape, is turned to sulphur ion (S 2-) by chemical responses. After the microamount of S 2- was measured by sensitive sulphur electrode, and the concentration of H_2S was converted, a method was constructed to measure the H_2S. It was used to analyze the concentrations of H_2S of plasma in rats and humans, the endogenous concentration of H_2S of cardiovascular tissue in rats, and CSE activity of cardiovascular tissues and cells. Results: The exponential regression of S 2- in the extent including 1 to 80 ?mol/L was found using sensitive sulphur electrod. The H_2S levels of plasma in male and female rats were 40?4 and 41?5 ?mol/L, respectively, and significant difference was not found; those in venous blood plasma of men and women were 33?4 ?mol/L and 35?5 ?mol/L respectively, without significant difference. There were not significant differences in the aortic endogenous levels of H_2S (24?6 and 25?5 nmol/mg pro) and myocardial levels (19?4 and 19?6 nmol/mg protein) between female and male rats. There were no different results of CSE activity in aortal tissue using sensitive sulphur electrode or traditional methods, however, the CSE activity of vascular smooth muscle cells could be accurately measured using sensitive sulphur electrode, which was difficult in using traditional method. Conclusion: The sensitive sulphur electrode assay was fit for the analysis of CSE/H_2S pathway in cardiovascular research.

Aim To investigate the effect of melatonin (MT) and pentoxifylline (PTX) on hepatic ischemia reperfusion (I/R) in rat. Methods 128 rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, MT treated group, PTX treated group and PTX+MT group (combined group). Those operation procedures including occlusion the inflow to the liver 35 minutes, hepatectomy and reperfusion, were underwent by the animals. The following items were investigated: liver function, endothelin 1 (ET 1), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and one week survival. Results The following changes were detected after the liver ischemia: ①Liver function: the increased scopes of ALT and LDH were significantly lower in treatment groups, especially in the combined group than that in control one; ②ET 1: the levers of ET 1 were significantly increased in every group, especially the control group; ③MT function: the increased scopes of MDA and SOD were significantly lower in MT groups (including MT treated and combined groups) than that in others; ④PTX function: the increased scopes of TNF ? were significantly lower in PTX groups (including PTX treated and combined groups) with a higher rate of survival than that in others. Conclusion ①MT could reverse the oxidative damage, but cannot affect the rate of survival; ②PTX can decrease the secretion of cytokine and the one week survival; ③Based on the synergistic effects, the application of MT+PTX may have beneficial effects against the I/R injury to increase the survival.

Objective To study the relationship between psychological resilience and occupational stress of nurses in disinfec-tion supply center. Method A cluster sampling method was used to investigate 387 nurses in the supply and demand center by using the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson scale (Connor-Davidson resilience, CD-RISC) and the nurse job stressors scale. Results In the disinfection supply center, the nurses' mental resilience score was (76.72±13.67), at the middle level. The total score on occupa-tion pressure was (72.84±12.19), at the moderate stress level. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the sterilization and supply cen-ter nurses' mental resilience score, together with the dimensions were positively correlated with occupation pressure. The mental re-silience and occupation pressure were positively correlated (P<0.05). Conclusions The psychological toughness and occupational stress of nurses in the sterilization and supply center are in the middle level. The nursing managers can promote the sustainable develop-ment of the nurses' psychological toughness through the stress management training and the nursing profession quality improvement.
