Objective To explore relativity between serum cortisol and post-stroke depression in old patients with stroke. Methods Serum cortisols of 41 stroke patients were examined two weeks after stroke, and they were all assessed through Hamilton Depression Scale and then happening rates of post-stroke depression observed in both normal cortisol group and enhanced cortisol group were tested through χ2 test. Meanwhile relativity between serum cortisol level and post-stroke depression were analysised. Results Happening rates of post-stroke depression had an evidently difference between both normal cortisol group and enhanced cortisol group(χ2=4.11;P <0.05). Mark of normal cortisol group was 15.29±7.28, enhanced cortisol group was 25.85±10.81, both groups had an evidently difference( P <0.01). Serum cortisols were not obviously relative to depression degree in normal cortisol group( r =0.295;P =0.194) while they were obviously relative in enhanced cortisol group( r =0.702;P =0.001). Conclusion Enhanced cortisol could forecast higher possibility of depression after the old post-stroke, and detecting cortisol could offer theory foundation for prevention and cure of post-stroke depression.

Objective:To study B cells proliferation and activation induced by tumor derived-autophagosomes ( TDA). Methods:Splenocytes of mice were incubated with 10μg/ml TDAs in vitro ( with the 10μg/ml whole cell lysate as the control).At the 3rd day,the expression of MHCⅠ,Ⅱand co-stimulate molecules including CD86,CD40 were detected by flow cytometry,and B cells proliferation was detected at the 5th day.B cells were selected from spleen of mice using anti-CD43 dynabeads,and incubated with 10μg/ml TDA in vitro ( with the same concentrated whole tumor cell lysate as the control).At the 7th day,IgM in the supernatant were tested by ELISA.Results:When compared with whole cell lysate stimulated B cells,TDA efficently stimulated B cells division in vitro ( TDA group:28.6%, Whole cell lysate group:4.4%) , and significantly up-regulated the expression of MHC class Ⅰ,Ⅱ and co-stimulatory molecules (CD86 and CD40) on B cells,and enhanced the levels of total IgM secretion in vitro.Conclusion:Tumor-derived autophagosomes ( TDA) ,as a vacuole antigen vector, could stimulate B cells proliferation, activation, and increased IgM secretion in vitro.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), which are widely distributed in the excitable cells, are the primary mediators of electrical signal amplification and propagation. They play important roles in the excitative conduction of the neurons and cardiac muscle cells. The abnormalities of the structures and functions of VGSCs can change the excitability of the cells, resulting in a variety of diseases such as neuropathic pain, epilepsy and arrhythmia. At present, some voltage-gated sodium channel blockers are used for treating those diseases. In the recent years, several neurotoxins have been purified from the venom of the animals, which could inhibit the current of the voltage-gated sodium channels. Usually, these neurotoxins are compounds or small peptides that have been further designed and modified for targeted drugs of sodium channelopathies in the clinical treatment. In addition, a novel cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRBGP) has been isolated and purified from the buccal gland of the lampreys (Lampetra japonica), and it could inhibit the Na+ current of the hippocampus and dorsal root neurons for the first time. In the present study, the progress of the sodium channelopathies and the biological functions of voltage-gated sodium channel blockers are analyzed and summarized.

Objective To understand the status quo of knowledge,attitude and practice of clinical nurses’ needlesrick injury (NSI) prevention and its influencing factors.Methods In our cross-sectional study,1020 clinical nurses in different levels of hospitals in Suzhou were recruited to participate the questionnaire survey by stratified cluster sampling.Results The average scores of knowledge,attitude,and practice about NSI prevention were (78.60+15.30),(78.88+8.31) and (70.60+13.86),individually.There was significant correlation among knowledge,attitude and practice.Stepwise regression analysis indicated that knowledge,occupational safety training,section,attitude,rifle,work environment and the level of hospital were the main influencing factors of NSI prevention practice.Condusions NSI prevention knowledge,attitude and practice among clinical nurses are unsatisfactory.Nursing administrators should pay close attention to the nursing staffs’ need of NSI prevention knowledge and provide targeted education to promote the formation of positive attitude,correct bad behaviors and promote healthy behaviors of NSI prevention.

Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of self-efficacy among nurses with needlestick injuries and explore effective strategies to improve self-efficacy.Methods 713 clinical nurses with needlestick injuries had been enrolled by convenience and stratified sampling method to comphte the investigation using the self-designed demographic questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale.Results The average score of the self-efficacy was (2.70 ±0.52) points.69.1％ of the needlestick injury nurses had the sclf-efficacy score at the middle level; only 19.1％ of them had a higher level score on self-efficacy.Gender,title,section,initiative report,work environment,and occupational safety training were identified as the influencing factors of the self-efficiency.Conclusions Even though more than half of the nurses with needlestick injuries had a middle level self-efficacy,they need further improvement.Other influencing factors should be explored in future in order to develop the corresponding management intervention which can strengthen the self-efficacy of nurses with needlestick injuries.

Objective To study the clinical value of cerebrospinal fluid cytology(csfc)and specific stain in tuberculous meningitis(TBM)-purulent meningitis(PM)and cryptococcal meningitis(CM).Methods The csfc data of 179 patients with TBM,PM and CM were retrospectively analyzed.The samples collected from all of these patients were analyzed by csfc May-Grunwald-Giemsa(MGG)staining,aricine blue staining and Indian ink staining. And the cytospin smears from 70 TBM were simultaneously stained by the immunofluorescence(IF)and immunocytological method to demonstrate the presence of mycobacterial antigen.Results ①TBM group showed a mixed-cell response.At the early stage of disease,the proportion of neutrophilic granulocyte reached 80%,and then reduced gradually.Lyumphoidocyte reaction was the most obvious in 1～2 months.The immunofluorescence(IF)and immunocytological method present a sensitivity of 82.9%and 85.7%,respectively.②Neutrophilic granulocyte was the most cell at acute stage of PM,and it descended quickly once treated with effective antibiotics.③The positive rates to detect CM with csfc MGG,aricine and Indian ink staining were 83.3%,81.8%,and 76.5%,respectively.Conclusion Dynamic observation on cerebrospinal fluid cytology is helpful to boost the differential diagnosis of intracranial infection.

Clinical laboratory undergraduate program was switched from medicine to medical technology,the changes of personnel training program compel universities to adjust the curriculum system.Six domestic known as 211 universities who have laboratory and biology undergraduate programs were scrutinized and compared.Overall,the proportion of general courses covers 30％ of the credit hours in both clinical laboratory and biology programs.Ratio of these general education curriculums to professional core courses is as high as 1.90∶1 in clinical laboratory program.Also,there were very strong medical features and very weak medical technology characteristics in the basic course in clinical laboratory program.It suggested that the curriculum system nowadays cant conform to the new personnel training objective.A novel system from abroad should be adopted to optimize clinical laboratory program accord with the principles and concepts of wide caliber training model.

Objective To investigate the effect of bortezomib with arsenic trioxide different concentration on the cell cycle and apoptosis of Raji cells. Methods Flow cytometry analysis showed that the relative number of cells in different phases and the percentages of cells calculated in G1 and S phase of the cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed after treatment with As2O3 and BOR or in combination with BOR in different concentration at indicated time (24 h, 48 h, 72 h). Results Flow cytometric analysis showed that the cell cycle was arrested at G1 phase, the number of cells G1 period increased significantly, and S phase decreased on Raji cells after As2O3 treatment. The relationship between the cellular DNA contents and the concentration of As2O3 showed a dose-and time-dependent manner (P ＜0.0001). But it was found that BOR had no effect on Raji cell cycle, but, in two drugs combination, cell apoptosis rate significantly increased from 16.98 % to 45.84 %. Conclusion The results show that As2O3 exerted variable and definite effects on lymphoma Raji cells, which indicated that As2O3 might induce apoptosis and arrest cell cycle. The combination of two drugs had a effective and synergistic effect on apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the plaque distribution of abdominal aorta and its branches by multislice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA).Methods 145 patients recommended to abdominal enhanced CT were randomly selected in this investigation,and divided into three groups according to their age,i.e.,young,middle and old-aged group.CTA was performed with the use of multiple planar reconstruction(MPR),volume rendering (VR)and vessel probe(VP)technology.Results 124 patients with atherosclerotic plaques of abdominal aorta and all its branch-vessels,the incidences of the three groups were 9.7%(14 cases),30.3%(44 cases)and 45.5%(66 cases)respectively(P <0.005).It showed that calcified plaques were detected in a total of 1 50 in 302 plaques of all the branch-vessels.230 plaques(76.2%)were detected in abdominal branch-vessels of grade 1,of which,the incidences of superior mesenteric artery plaques was the highest(32.4%).Of the 54 plaques(1 7.9%)detected in abdominal branch-vessels of grade 2,the incidence of splenic artery plaques was the highest(13.8%).In abdominal branch-vessels of grade 3,the plaques were mainly distributed in splen-ic lobial artery.The splenic artery plaques mainly spreaded in the middle segment,while other plaques were mostly in peristome and proximal segment of vessels.The incidences of plaques in the three branches were 47.6%(69 cases),1 5.2%(22 cases),and 9.0%(13 cases)respectively(P <0.005).Conclusion The incidences of atherosclerotic plaques are higher in the middle and aged people. The plaques of the three abdominal branch-vessels mainly distribute in the peristome and proximal segment,and are much likely to be detected in abdominal branch-vessels of grade 1.
