Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(9):881-883
Objective To explore the effect of individual nursing care on persistent headache in patients with intracranial aneurysm who accepted interventional embolization. Methods 100 patients with intracranial aneurysms were divided into observation group (n=50) and control group (n=50). The routine headache nursing care was taken in the control group and the individual nursing care was applied in the observation group. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results The score of VAS reduced more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05), and the headache endurance and the satisfaction for nursing care were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The individual nursing may relieve the pain, and improve the endurance of headache and the satisfaction for nursing care.

Objective:To accumulate dendritic cells(DC) into the peripheral blood and induce the specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte against tumor.Methods:B220~-CD11c~+ cells were sorted from the peripheral blood of C57BL/6 mice injected i.v.with P.acnes,and cultured for about six days in the presence of GM-CSF,IL-4 and mTNF-?.Phenotype and mixed leukocyte reaction(MLR) of these cells were assayed.CTL to anti-tumor,which was developed by cultured B220~CD11c~+ cells loading tumor antigen,was detected.Results:B220~-CD11c~+ cells were rapidly accumulated in the circulation of the mice after P.acnes injection.These cells could differentiate into mature DC when cultured in the presence of cytokines for several days.Moreover,cultured B220~-CD11c~+ cells loading tumor antigen could stimulate naive splenic CD3~+T cells generate high level of IFN-? and tumor specific cytolytic reactivity in vitro.Conclusion:B220~-CD11c~+ DC precursors rapidly accumulated in the peripheral blood after injection of(P.acnes) in mice.T cells could develop specific CTL to anti-target tumor cells in vitro when stimulated with P.acnes-mobilized DC loading tumor antigen.

Objective To investigate the changes of thyroid hormones in patients with peripartum car-diomyopathy. Methods Seventy-two patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy were consecutively enrolled and 72 healthy women who had normal delivery were regarded as control. Among all the subjects , free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the serum and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in the plasma were measured. Results The levels of serum FT3 and FT4 in peripartum cardiomyopathy group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). And the level of serum TSH in peripartum cardiomyopathy group was significantly low-er than that in control group (P < 0.05). There were 24 cases with hyperthyroidism in peripartum cardiomyopa-thy group while no patient in the control group had hyperthyroidism (P < 0.05). The levels of plasma hs-CRP and IFN-γ in peripartum cardiomyopathy group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05). And the level of IL-4 in peripartum cardiomyopathy group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Serum thyroid hormones elevated in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy and its mechanism might be related to abnormal immune reaction.

Objective To understand the situation of off-label use of sildenafil, so as to provide reference for developing off-label drug use policy. Methods A stratified random sampling method was used to collect prescription data of sildenafil in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital in 2015. The off-label drug use situation was analyzed according to drug labels. The situations of drug use in all departments were summarized, and off-label drug use occurrences were analyzed.Results A total of 1044 prescriptions with sildenafil were collected and analyzed to discover the occurrence of off-label use was up to 69. 54%. The top 3 departments of off-label use of sildenafil were assisted reproductive center, heart center and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The top 3 types of off-label use were non-indication(50. 35%), over drug population(31. 76%) and over drug administration(17. 89%). The top 3 diseases for non-indications were infertility, pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease. Conclusion Sildenafil off-label use was common in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital in 2015, especially in assisted reproductive center, heart center, and NICU. The result suggests that more clinical studies about sildenafil on cardiovascular system are expected to provide more evidence for drug use, so as to ensure the safety of drug use in special populations and avoid potential medical risk.

AIM: To investigate the changes of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i) and expression of Bcl-2 in HL-60 cells treated by 6F isolated from Pteris semipinnata L. (PSL), and to discuss the relations between calcium ion and cytotoxicity and DNA fragment induction effects of 6F. METHODS: HL-60 cells were used as in vitro model. [Ca 2+ ] i was measured on fluorescent spectrophotometry using Fura-2/AM as Ca 2+ indicator. Bcl-2 expressing level was measured by flow cytometry. Tetrazolium salt (MTT) and diphenylamine staining methods were applied for cytotoxicity assay and DNA fragmentation detection, respectively. RESULTS: [Ca 2+ ] i increased obviously in a dose and time dependent manner after treated HL-60 cells with 6F. 6F decreased the expressing level of Bcl-2. Adding 2 mmol/L Ca 2+ to the medium, or 1 mmol/L EDTA to chelate Ca 2+ , or 4 ?mol/L calcium ionophore A 23187 to increase the concentration of cytosolic Ca 2+ , the DNA fragment induction by 6F was not affected, whereas the cytotoxicity of 6F was enhanced. 250 ?mol/L Zn 2+ attenuated the DNA fragment induction, and the cytotoxicity of 6F against HL-60 cells was enhanced significantly. CONCLUSION: It was speculated that the decreased expressing of Bcl-2 by compound 6F was related to increased [Ca 2+ ] i in HL-60 cells, and DNA fragment induction was possibly catalyzed by Ca 2+ - independent DNase.

Objective: To investigate the effect of urinastatin on the expression levels of NF-?B and TNF-? liver transplantation in patients. Methods: Thirty-six patients of late stage hepatic cirrhosis were randomly divided into two eaquel groups: the experiment group was administrated by urinastatin 300 000 U and saline 10 mL via venous injection during liver transplantation, the control group was administrated 10 mL saline by venous injection at the same time. The blood samples were harvestd at 1, 2, 4 and 6 h after the blood recovery of donated liver. The nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) P65 relative level of blood was detected by Western blot analysis and the TNF-? level of blood was detected by double antibody Sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Serum ALT and AST were also measured. Results: The expression level of serum NF-?B p65, TNF-? in the experiment group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was significant(P
