Restenosis after interventional treatment is the major factor infheneing the result of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, and it is a hot and difficult research in recent years. Endothelial progenitor cells are a class of proliferation and able to differentiate into vascular endothelial precursor cells, and take part in the repair and angiogenesis after endothelial injury-intimate. It is expected to play an important role in the prevention of vascular restenosis after interventional treatment. In this article, we reviewed the endothelial progenitor cell research overview and advances of prevention of restenosis after interventional therapy in recent years.

Objective To determine the frequency of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-TaqIB polymorphism and investigate its relationship with plasma lipid levels and coronary hert disease(CHD). Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight patients with CHD (CHD group) and 203 age-matched controls( control group) were selected, the CETp-TaqIB mutation was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the CETP gene. Results In the total subjects, the frequency of B1 and B2 alleles were 59.4%(262/441 ) and 40.6%( 179/441 ) respectively. Compared with that in control group, the frequency of CETP genotype BIBI was higher in CHD group [39.9%(95/238) vs 29.6% ( 60/203 ), P<0.05], and the frequency of B1B2 was lower in CHD group [44.1%(105/238) vs 53.7%(109/203), P< 0.05]. Compared with that in the B2 homozygotes, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)A I level were significantly lower in the B1 homozygotes [(1.19±0.36) mmol/L vs (1.38±0.39) retool/L,( 1.17±0.33 ) g/L vs ( 1.30±0.31 ) g/L, P<0.05]. The B 1 homozygotes was associated with higher degree of cononary stenosis than the B2 carriers (P<0.05 ). There was no significant association between CETP-TaqIB genotype and the risk of CHD (P=0.147). Conclusions CETP-TaqIB polymorphism affects the concentrations of lipaproteins. There are significant associations between the B1 homozygotes and lowerHDL-C and apo A I levels. The B1 allele is not an independent risk factor for CHD.

Objective To summarize the main results and characters of the research literature by reviewing systematically and comprehensively,we get an overall awareness of the current status of the nursing needs of the aged at home and discover the deficiency.Consequently,we provide evidence to improve the nursing services for the aged at home.Methods We systematically searched CNKI (1979-2014.5),CBM (1978-2014.5)and VIP (1989-2014.5).According to the including criteria and excluding criteria,we screened the literature twice.Main results and characters of the literature were described.Results A total of 975 articles were included.The first literature were published in 1986.From 2006,the amount of the literature increased annually.42.36％ (413/975)of the research types were descriptive research.The contents of the literature mainly focused on the need of comprehensive nursing services,such as community nursing services [37.44％(365/975)];home care [20.10％(196/975)];long-term care [10.26％(100/975)].The overall quality of the hterature was not high.Experimental research and descriptive research were implemented mostly in developed areas.The 46.97％(458/975) of the first authors worked in hospitals.Conclusions There is a small quantity of literature published with low quality.Questionnaire with comprehensive items describing needs demanded by the aged are required.We should put an eye on the aged living in undeveloped areas or with recognition impairment.Meanwhile,depending on the general hospital,we should carry out high-quality experimental research,as well as exploring multidisciplinary model.

Objective To study the application of the two-paths double U-shaped fixer in clinical intravenous indwelling needle fixation. Methods A total of 420 cases using of intravenous indwelling needle from January to June 2015 were involved and divided into experimental group(210 cases) and control group(210 cases) by random digits table method. The two-paths double U-shaped fixer was applied in experimental group and the control group were used tape by Y type to fix. The incidence of returning-blood, blocking, phlebitis, slippage and the comfort between two groups were observed and compared. Results The incidence of returning-blood, blocking, phlebitis, slippage in experimental group were 6.2%(13/210), 0.5%(1/210), 0 , which were lower than those in control group 48.6%(102/210), 5.7%(12/210), 1.4%(3/210) seperately, the differences were statistically significant (χ2=117.895, P<0.01). The incidence of phlebitis levelⅠ,Ⅱ,ⅢandⅣin experimental group were 3.3%(7/210), 1.4%(3/210), 0.9%(2/210), 0, which were lower than those in control group 11.9%(25/210), 9.0%(19/210), 3.8%(8/210), 2.4%(5/210), the differences were statistically significant(Z=-5.960, P<0.01). The incidence of the comfort level 1, 2, 3 and 4 in experimental group were 92.4%(194/210), 6.2%(13/210), 1.4%(3/210), 0 individually, which were higher than those in control group 36.7%(77/210), 46.7%(98/210), 12.4%(26/210), 4.3%(9/210), the differences were statistical significant (Z=-16.228, P < 0.01). Conclusions Two-paths double U-shaped fixationis is better than Y-shaped tape fixation. To compare the venous indwelling needle fixation, two-paths double U-shaped fixer could fix more effectively and safety. At the same time, it also has advantages in convenient, observation and appearance. It could be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective To reveal the influence factor of ampD specific mutation on the transformation of AmpC β-lactamase from non-high-productive type to derepressed the high-productive type in Enterobacter cloacae. Methods The selected cbromatin-mediated derepressed high-productive strains of Enterobacter cloacae and genomic DNA were extracted, and genomic ampD was amplified by using PCR, and then sequenced and confirmed by specific mutation. Use site-directed mutagenesis to mutate the wild-type Enterobacter cloacae for the above site. The changes of AmpCβ-lactamase types were detected by the improved Cefotaxime three-dimensional test. Results Of the 121 strains of Enterobacter cloacae,15 strains were ehromatin-mediated derepressed high-productive type,8 strains had significant mutations and 7 strains of site-directed mutagenesis were established. Ecl MA(274 inser-ting A)、Ecl MC(327 missing C)and Ecl MF(27 inserting G)were changed from non-high-productive type to derepressed-high-pro-ductive type,but Ecl MB(371 inserting T), Ecl MD(515 missing C), Ecl ME(324 C→A), Ecl MG(238C→A 302T→A)did not change in AmpC β-lactamase types. Conclusion The significant mutations that could lead to the transformation of AmpC β-lacta-mase were the Frame-shift mutations that could create the change of large region of amino acid. However, other mechanisms for the derepressed high-productive AmpC β-lactamase were not excluded in the study.
