The changes in the total and differential leukocyte counts as well as glycogen con- tent and alkaline phosphatase activity of neutrophile granulocyte of peripheral blood were studied during tubal ligation through abdomen with electro-acupuncture at Zha- guan point(tubal ligation point).This work may help to detect the role of the leuko- cytes in the regulatory function of the body and its relationship to acupuncture anal- gesia.The resuhs were as follows: 50 patients undergoing tubal ligation under acupuncture anesthesia were observed. During the operation,the total number of leukocytes was increased as compared with that before the operation.In patients of grade Ⅰefficacy(35 cases)the total number of leukocytes was increased most markedly.In all patients operated under acupuncture anesthesia,the relative proportion of various types of leukocytes showed little or no significant changes,but their absolute number increased to some extent,with the excep- tion of eosinophile granulocyte of grade Ⅱpatients which decreased slightly.A cyto- chemical study of the glycogen content of neutrophil was carried out in 45 patients during acupuncture anaesthesia.The content was decreased during operation especially in 31 cases of Grade Ⅰpatients it was decreased most markedly.On the other hand,the neutro- phil alkaline phosphatase activity was increased during the operation in 20 patients. The control group of 33 cases was further divided into three subgroups.In the first subgroup,we used acupuncture anaesthesia without operation and the total number of leukocytes was decreased slightly.In the second subgroup the patients were operated under local anesthesia(2% procain solution injection subcutaneously),and the last sub- group comprised only normal adults without any operation or anesthesia.There were little or no significant changes in total and differential leukocyte counts during the experiment in th last two subgroups. The above alterations of leukocyte observed in patients operated under acupuncture anesthesia may explain the enhancement of bodily protection produced by acupuncture, by the way of the regulation effect of central nervous system.

Objective To analyze the major issues existing in grounded theory literature in nursing in China so as to improve nursing personnel's understanding of grounded theory and promote its application in nursing research. Methods Grounded theory literature in nursing were retrieved from Wangfang, CNKI and VIP Databases from January 2000 to April 2016. Articles which using grounded theory as a research method were included. Two researchers analyzed the main issues of these articles, explained misunderstanding and inappropriate research practice in depth based on grounded theory evaluation criteria, personal experiences and relevant knowledge, and some suggestions were offered accordingly. Results Twenty articles were included. The major pitfalls of these articles were methodology (11 articles, accounting for 55.0%), sampling (14 articles, accounting for 70.0%) and saturation (9 articles, accounting for 45.0%), data analysis (9 articles, accounting for 45.0%) and conceptualization (9 articles, accounting for 45.0%). Conclusions Although grounded theory has been used in many fields in nursing in China, it is still in the initial stage, and some misunderstanding appeared. It is necessary to strengthen the learning of grounded theory knowledge and practical exploration, increase the learning paths in future so as to improve the research quality and promote the development of nursing research.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the profile of pathogen of infection in kidney disease patients. METHODS Pathogen of infection in kidney disease patients in our hospital from Jan 2004 to Feb 2006 was retrospectively investigated. RESULTS A total of 240 pathogen strains were isolated from 223 cases.Of the 240 isolated strains the rate of strains of Gram-negative bacilli was 55.4%,that of the Gram-positive cocci was 26.3%,the rate of fungi was 10.0% and that of the Gram-positive bacilli was 8.3%.The positive rate of Escherichia coli was the highest followed by Haemophilus influenzae.54.2% Of isolates were from urine,21.3% from sputum.The isolated pathogens resisted at different degrees to antibiotics which were used frequently in clinic.The rate of polyinfection was not high. CONCLUSIONS Pathogen of infection in kidney disease patients is mainly Enterobacteriaceae.The isolates mainly are E.coli which is multi-resistant.It mainly causes the urinary infections.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors and the drug-resistance of nosocomial acquired lung infection by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum.METHODS A retrospective investigation of the clinical correlative data and the drug sensitivity results of 60 cases with nosocomial acquired lung infection by C.meningosepticum from Jan 2004 to Jan 2006 was conducted in local hospital.RESULTS The patients were mainly distributed at ICU,respiration and neurosurgery wards.They had severe underlying diseases(100.0%),tracheal intubation(56.7%),central venous catheter(25.0%) and urine catheter(16.7%) treatments and applications of more than three antibiotics(68.3%).The drug-resistance of C.meningosepticum was serious.The antibiotic drugs which had higher susceptibility ratio were cefoperazone/sulbactam,fluoroquinolones,et al.CONCLUSIONS The main risk factors of nosocomial acquired lung infection by C.meningosepticum are severe underlying diseases,various invasive treatments,long-term hospitalization and inappropriate use of broad spectrum antibiotics.Clinical isolates are multi-drug resistant to many kinds of antibiotics.

Purpose: Body image changes are common among patients living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) because of the illness and related treatments. Currently, there is little known about how those patients experience and perceive their altered body image in the literature. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of body image changes in patients with IBD in China and to describe how those changes influence patients’ perception of body and self. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. A total of 16 participants from three tertiary hospitals in southeast China were recruited through purposive sampling combined with maximum variation strategy. Data were collected through semistructured interviews and analyzed using conventional content analysis method. Results: The following six themes were extracted: (1) “being a constrained person,” (2) “being a flawed person,” (3) “being a disliked person,” (4) “being an alienated person,” (5) “being a reconciled person,” and (6) “being a blessed person.” Conclusion With the diagnosis of IBD and its side effects of treatments, patients’ life changed significantly and they were struggling to reinterpret their body and self. As a result, negative self-evaluations and/ or positive self-evaluations towards themselves generated. Further studies are required to explore the underlying mechanism and related influencing factors about how those different images were produced.

Objective To investigate the effect of Terpinen-4-ol on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells and its related mechanism. Methods A-549 cells were treated with different concentrations of Terpinen-4-ol. The inhibitory effect of Terpinen-4-ol on A-549 cells was tested by MTT method. Cell grow ability was determined by CCK-8 colorimetry. The ultrastructure of A549 cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy before and after Terpinen-4-ol treatment. The changes of cell cycle, apoptosis, and the level of intracel-lular calcium were inspected by flow cytometry. Inoculated the lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells on the nude mice to form transplantation tumor. The experimental nude mice with transplantation tumors were divided into three groups:negative control group,high dose positive con-trol group and low dose positive control group. The mice were given continuously intraperitoneal injection for 10 days, and then the transplan-tation tumors were taken and the size and weight of them were detected. Results After Terpinen-4-ol treatment for 24 h,MTT assay showed that the IC50 value of A549 cells was 0. 067% v/v. The growth curves of positive control groups were significantly smooth than the negative control group. The formation of autophagosome increased after treatment with Terpinen-4-ol. The results of flow cytometry showed that the cell cycle was arrested in S phase,Terpinen-4-ol could induce apoptosis of A549 cell, The intracellular calcium concentrations in positive control groups were significantly higher than the negative control group(P<0. 05). Low dose group and high dose group restrained the growth of the transplantation tumor obviously, and the tumor inhibitory rate were 53. 33% and 77. 76% respectively. Conclusion Terpinen-4-ol has inhibitory effect on the proliferation of A-549 cells in vitro and in vivo.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the polymorphisms in gene FGFR1, FGF10, FGFI8 and the nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NS CLP) in Chinese population. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral lymphocytes of 75 patients with NS CLP and their parents and 75 unimpaired healthy children. The polymorphisms in FGFRI gene rs13317, p. E467K, p. M3691 and p. S393S, FGF10 gene rs1448037 and FGFI8 gene rs4043716 were detected by applying three-dimensional (3-D) polyacrylamide gel microarray technology. The data were performed using statis-tical analysis : the genotype frequenc+ y and allele frequency between patients with NSCL/P and control subjects were performed. Haplotype relative risk (HRR) , family based association test (FBAT) , and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) in nuclear family were performed. Results: There were no poly-morphism in FGFR1 gene p. E467K, p. M369I and p. $393S site, the corresponding base was all G. The polymorphisms of rs13317 and rs1448037 were detected and their genotype frequency and allele frequen-cy showed no significant difference between 75 patients with NSCL/P and 75 normal children. TDT, HRR and FBAT were also no significant differences. The genotype frequency of gene FGF18 rs4043716 showed significant difference, but allele frequency were no significant difference. TDT, HRR and FBAT were also no significant difference. Conclusion: Our studies suggest an association between gene FGF18 rs4043716 and the NS CLP in Chinese population, and no association among gene FGFR1 rs13317, p. FA67K, p. M3691, p. S393S and gene FGF10 rs1448037.
