Objective To learn the present pre-hospital emergency resources allocation in Liaoning province.Methods Site survey and questionnaire survey were used to survey the basic information,number of pre-hospital emergency ambulances,human resources,and communication/control systems of 19 pre-hospital emergency centers in Liaoning province in 2014.Results The number of pre-hospital emergency sub-stations,ambulances and human resource fall short of demand.Furthermore,these resources are found with such problems as greater service radius of average pre-hospital emergency service and longer average pre-hospital response time in countryside than cities,insufficient and obsolete ambulances short of onboard equipment and communication systems,not to mention shortage of medical workers of higher degrees and academic titles.Conclusions A great gap is found between urban and rural pre-hospital emergency resource allocation in Liaoning province,with poor resources in the countryside.The government is recommended to step up financial support in increasing pre-hospital emergency substations and resources allocation,regularly update pre-hospital emergency vehicles,set up independent title promotion mechanism,perfect communication scheduling system,in order to satisfy the demands of pre-hospital first aid.

Objective To analyze whether tetramethylpyrazine could protect PC12 cells from injuries induced by caffeine,and to explore the mechanism of tetramethyipyrazine in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Caffeine was added to induce apoptosis of PC12 cells. Cytotoxicity was detected by CCK-8 assay. The electric potential of mitochondrial membrane was determined by flow cytometry. HMGB1 was detected by Western blotting. Oxidative stress was detected by ELISA. We observed toxicity of caffeine and the protective effects of tetramethylpyrazine. Results After the pre-treatment,tetramethylpyrazine significantly improved PC12 cell survival. Mitochondrial membrane potential was increased,the expression of HMGB1 decreased,SOD increased,LDH and MDA decreased,and GSH elevated. Conclusion Tetramethylpyrazine exerts a significant protective effect on PC12 cell injury caused by caffeine. The protective effect may be related to inhibition of apoptosis and regulation of the expression level of mediators involved in inflammation and oxidative stress.

Objective To observe the effects of constant magnetic fields (CMF) on angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ)-stimulated proliferation of human umbilical arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Methods The experimental proliferation models of cultured human umbilical arterial VSMC stimulated with AngⅡ was establishea. The VSMC were cultured under 1 and 5 mT CMF for 48 hrs. Proliferation of the VSMC was detected by MTT and 3H-TdR incorporation method (A-value and cpm-value), and cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The CMF of 1 and 5 mT may antagonize proliferation of VSMC stimulated with AngⅡ, and hold-back VSMC from static phase (G 0/G 1)to DNA synthetic (S) and mitotic phase (G 2/M). Conclusion The study demonstrates that CMF of 1 and 5 mT can significantly inhibit the human VSMC proliferation.

Objective To analyze the clinical and radiographic outcomes of staged reduction and fixation in a consecutive series of patients with the old Lisfranc injuries. Methods Fifty patients (16 feet) with Lisfranc injuries were treated with staged reduction. Mean duration between injury and surgery was 4. 8month ( 3 to 8 month) . In first stage an external fixator was applied across the Lisfranc joint and distraction was done at 1 milliliter per day to 2 milliliter per day. In the second staged the ORIF ( open reduction and internal fixation) was doneand we were able to reduce all the fractures and dislocations. Extra-Articular screws and staple fixation were used for fixation. We compared categorical variables using Fisher’ s exact test and continuous variables using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results All patients were followed up 1 to 3 years ( mean 2. 2 years) in the clinic. The visual analogue scale score averaged 3. 1 points at the final follow-up, the average AOFAS scores for these patients were 55. 8 points ( range, 43 to 98 points), with a significant increase than before surgery ( P=0. 001). The mean duration between two surgeries was 3. 2 weeks (range 2. 5-4. 5 weeks). Anatomic reduction was obtained in all 15 patients. At the last follow-up, 2 patients had lost reduction. Posttraumatic osteoarthritis was observed in 5 patients, and all of them were scheduled for arthrodesis because of persistent pain. Conclusions The study have displayed that staged reduction and Extra-Articular fixation should be considered for old Lisfranc injuries with a good reduction, the firm stability, low risk of intraoperative fracture. The short-term effectiveness is good, but the long-term effectiveness needs further follow-up.

Objective To evaluate the normalized correction effect of the ROX reference fluorescence on the real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessment for the Nrf2 mRNA.Methods The Taq-man probe was utilized in the real-time quantitative RT-PCR method to assess the Nrf2 mRNA; The reaction specificity of the Nrf2 PCR products obtained from the rat cDNA was assessed using gel electrophoresis and sequencing identification.The PCR calibrators with different concentrations varied at 10 gradients(from 2.0 × 109 to 2.0 × 100) were prepared for real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessment,and then the influence of the ROX reference fluorescence correction on the linear range of the PCR standard curve was investigated experimentally.The recombinant plasmids with different concentration levels(e.g,high,medium or low concentration) were assessed by the real-time RT-PCR and 20 replicate measurements were performed for all the samples in both intra- and inter-assays.The repeatability differences of both the inter- and intra-assays were analyzed systemically with/without the ROX reference fluorescence correction.Results The primers and probes required for Nrf2 mRNA real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessments were constructed,and the reaction system and conditions were also established.The length of the amplified fragment agreed well with the expected length(122 bp),and the sequencing analysis showed the amplified fragment was verified by the sequencing identification.After applying the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the linear range ofthe PCR standard curve was measured as 2.0 × 109 -2.0 × 100 copies/μl(R2 > 0.99),which was 100times wider than that measured without ROX reference fluorescence correction(2.0 × 109 - 2.0 × 102copies/μl,R2 > 0.99).Without the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the intra-assay CVs of the Ct value were measured as 4.1%,2.7% and 2.1% for the recombinant plasmids with high-,medium-,and low-level concentration,respectively.The inter-assay CVs of the Ct value were 4.3% 、3.0% 、2.4%.By contrast,with the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the intra-assay CVs of the Ct value became 0.7%,0.5%,0.4% and the inter-assay CVs of the Ct value turned to 1.0%,0.8% and 0.7%.The discrete degree of the Ct value with the correction was lower than that without the correction.The intra- and interassay Ct values of the high- and medium-level samples exhibited statistic significance for the measurements with/without the correction.In the high-level group,the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 4.843 and 2.566,with P<0.05.In the medium-level group,the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 4.293 and 4.423,with P<0.05.However,no statistic significance was observed the low-level group(the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 0.753 and 1.279,with P >.0.05).Conclusions The utilization of the ROX reference fluorescence in the real-time quantitative PCR assessment for Nrf2 mRNA could widen the linear range of the standard PCR calibration curve and improve the repeatability of the assessment,which should be quite helpful for accurately assessing the expression level of the Nrf2 mRNA.
