Objective To assess the informed consent about risks of pressure ulcers so as to effectively prevent pressure ulcers and reduce the disputes between the nurses and patients.Method An in-depth interview was conducted among 12 senior nurses in the operating room,the interview content recorded and analyzed to summarize some themes.Results In the link of informed consent on pressure ulcers,6 problems were found,e.g.,the standardization of methods for informed consent and the content,pressure ulcer risk assessment scale special for clinical specialties,lack of complementarity of assessment and prevention measures,importance of clear signature on the informed consent,time for informed consent signature,attitude of the families and the skills on answering related questions.Conclusions The implementation of the informed consent about the risk assessment of the pressure ulcer for surgical patients depends on the specification of the conversation,and the assessment scale special for the clinical specialties.Both improved preventive measures and preventive ability of the pressure ulcers are of great importance.

When auditory organ is stimulated by some tones,there will be a series of electric activities in our auditory systems,we call them auditory evoked potentials.we can divide them short,middle and long latency response by their latencies.Different potentials can reflect brain function activities in different pathes of auditory nerve.In forensic medicine expertise,they can be objective evaluation in audition function and handicap of pathes of auditory nerve brain function.In this article,we summarized the mechanism and characters of different auditory evoked potentials,sumed up their application value in forensic medicine.

Objective : To investigate the incidence of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in pregnant women and the effect of the RLS on the sleep quality of the women during pregnancy. Methods: 113 pregnant women were evaluated by using International RLS Scale, PSQI (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Inventory). Results: The prevalence of RLS in pregnant women in the outpatient department was 12.4% (14/113), the percentage of RLS pregnant women with PSQI total score higher than 7 was 28.6%, and that was 10.1% in the pregnant women without RLS (x2 =3.86,P

Objective:To understand the sleep duration, sleep habits, the prevalence rate of sleep problem and its related factors on the children range from 4 to 12 years old. Methods:The parents of 727 children range from 4 to 12 years old were asked to answer The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and the general information forms, which were used to rate their children.Results:The average sleep time on bed of the children was 9.6?0.9 hours, with no difference between males and females. The total scores of CSHQ were 36.8?13.6, and the prevalence of sleep problem was 31.0%. The total scores of CSHQ among 4-6 years old group, 7-9 years old group and 10-12 years old group were significant different (42.4?14.1?34.9?12?31.8?12, respectively ;P

Event-related potentials (ERP) is some kind of brain potentials that recorded from cranial surface when human cognitive processing an object(pay attention, memorize, thinking, etc). ERP consists of a variety of cognitive function and related components. Including early composition, mismatch negativity (MMN), N2 family, P3 family, and other related components of language processing. These components are closely related to human cognitive function,the research of ERP can lead to a deeper understanding of cognitive function of human brains and has important application value of forensic medicine.

Objective To evaluate the role of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in sevofluraneinduced release of inflammatory factors in mouse microglias.Methods Microglial cells obtained from newborn C57BL/6 mice (aged 2-3 days) were seeded in 24-well plates (density 1 × 105 cells/ml, 1 ml/well) , a total of 80 wells.The cells were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table (n =20 each) : control group (group C);sevoflurane group (group S);NF-κB selective inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) group (group P);PDTC + sevoflurane group (group P +S).In S and P+S groups, 4.1％ sevoflurane was inhaled for 6 h.In P+S group, 10 μmol/L PDTC was added at 1 h before sevoflurane inhalation.At 6 h of incubation with sevoflurane, NF-κB activity and expression and levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were determined.Results Compared with group C, the NF-κB activity and levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased in group S, and no significant change in the above parameters was found in the other two groups.Compared with group S, the NF-κB activity and levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased in group P+S.There was no significant difference in NF-κB expression between the four groups.Conclusion NF-κB mediates sevoflurane-induced release of inflammatory factors in mouse microglias.

Objective To explore the effect of jejunostomy in radical operation of esophageal cancer through right thoracotomy and abdominal incision. Methods A total of 90 esophageal cancer patients who had undergone radical resection through right thoracotomy and abdominal incision were retrospectively analyzed, among whom 50 cases used enteral nutrition via jejunostomy (jejunostomy group) and 40 cases via naso- intestinal tube (naso- intestinal tube group). The operation time, hospitalization time after operation, retention time of tube, complication and nutritional status after operation were compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical differences in the operation time and hospitalization time after operation between 2 groups (P>0.05). All the patients of 2 groups could tolerate the enteral nutrition. The retention time of tube in jejunostomy group was significantly longer than that in naso- intestinal tube group jejunostomy: (18.08 ± 9.28) d vs. (14.85 ± 4.59) d, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the albumin before operation between 2 groups (P>0.05). The albumin after 1 week′s enteral nutrition in jejunostomy group was significantly higher than that in naso-intestinal tube group:(30.99 ± 2.79) g/L vs. (29.72 ± 3.16) g/L, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). During the period of observation, the patients of naso-intestinal tube group had different degrees of nasopharyngeal region discomfort. The incidences of tube obstruction/ tube shedding and the complication in jejunostomy group were significantly lower than those in naso-intestinal tube group: 0 vs. 10% (4/40) and 18% (9/50) vs. 50%(20/40), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Jejunostomy is a safer and more effective nutrient method in radical operation of esophageal cancer through right thoracotomy and abdominal incision.

Objective To explore the screening of peroxisome pathway reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidative stress gene and its correlation with the antitumor sensitivity of artesunate against pancreatic cancer. Methods Based on microarray mRNA expressions of 55 tumor cell lines in the National Cancer Institute common database,peroxisome pathway-related key genes which were significant correlation with half-inhibitory concentration (IC50 )values of artesunate antitumor activity against human pancreatic cancer were selected by Kendall test.The candidate genes associated with artesunate sensitivity were identified and their mRNA expressions in pancreatic cancer cells were tested using fluorescent quantitative PCR.The contents of peroxi-dase in pancreatic cancer cells were detected through the DAB staining.Results Thirteen key genes mRNA expressions in peroxidase pathways were significantly correlated with IC50 values for artesunate antitumor activi-ty.Compared with normal liver cells HL-7702 (1.00),CRAT (2.89 ±0.06),PEX11B (1.90 ±0.07)and PEX16 (1.35 ±0.07)mRNA expression levels were significantly increased in pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells which sensitive to artesunate (t =33.00,P <0.01;t =17.85,P <0.01;t =4.54,P <0.05).While CAT
(1.43 ±0.03),SOD1 (2.07 ±0.04)and SOD2 (1.15 ±0.01)mRNA expression levels were also signifi-cantly increased in Panc-1 cells which sensitive to artesunate (t =11.71,P <0.01;t =35.85,P <0.01;t =13.22,P <0.01).However,PEX12 (0.51 ±0.02),CAT (0.47 ±0.02),PRDX1 (0.43 ±0.01),and SOD1 (0.44 ±0.01)mRNA expression levels in pancreatic cancer BXPC-3 cells which resistant to artesunate were significantly lower than that of HL-7702 cells (t =37.53,P <0.01;t =16.52,P <0.01;t =84.20, P <0.01;t =48.24,P <0.01).DAB staining showed that the positive expression rate of peroxisomal content was apparently higher in Panc-1 cells (61.5%)than that of HL-7702 cells (43.8%),with a significant difference (χ2 =16.11,P <0.01).Conclusion Peroxisome and its related ROS antioxidant enzymes CAT, PRDX1,SOD gene expression may be the important factors that affect artesunate antitumor activity against human pancreatic cancer.

Objective To explore the magnetic resonance spectroscopy characteristics of prefrontal white matter in bipolar Ⅱ disorder and its relation with executive function.Methods Thirty bipolar Ⅱ disorder patients and twenty healthy controls were evaluated with Multi-Voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS)scans on prefrontal white matter to assess the N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA),Choline (Cho),Creatine (Cr) and myoinositol (MI),and then the ratios of NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr,MI/Cr,NAA/Cho and NAA/Cho + Cr were calculated.All subjects were assessed for executive function using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).Results NAA/Cr in right prefrontal white matter(1.43 ± 0.26) and NAA/Cr,NAA/Cho,NAA/Cho + Cr in left prefrontal white matter (separatelyl.40 ± 0.29,1.13 (1.53,0.24),0.62 ± 0.12) were lower than healthy controls (separately 1.58 ±0.18,1.59,0.23,1.30 (0.53 ± 0.29),0.71 ± 0.08) (P ＜ 0.05).The correct trials and the number of categories of WCST in Bipolar Ⅱ disorder (separately 26.97 ± 8.97,3(6,3)) were less than in healthy controls(separately 36.35±4.85,5 (3,2)),and perseverative errors and random errors were more in patients (separately 12.77 ±5.73,7 (21,5)) than healthy controls (separately 7.35 ± 3.01,4 (13,2)).NAA/Cho and NAA/Cho + Cr in left prefrontal white matter were positively correlated with correct trials,number of categories,and negatively related with perseverative errors (P＜0.05).Conclusions Bilateral prefrontal white matter fiber damage occurs to bipolar Ⅱ disorder.And left prefrontal white matter fiber damage in bipolar Ⅱ disorder may lead to executive impairment.

Objective To explore the effect of duraphat varnish on reducing orthodontic tooth enamel demineralization around brackets.Methods We Selected 30 patients aged 12 to 14 years old in orthodontic Departrnent of Shenyang Stomatological Hospital from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013 and carried out rectification scheme to pull out the first premolar after test.The full mouth dental were divided into four parts by the quadrant and the first premolars of different groups were coated with Tooth Mousse,Fluor Protector and saline (as control group),duraphat varnish (as experimental group) respectively.Every group included 30 teeth.Three months later,We observed the demineralization of the teeth.The enamel decalcification of all quarters were detected by DI-AGNOdent.Results The rate of enamel demineralization in the experimental group was 10.0％,that in the Tooth Mousse group was 13.3％,the 0.1％ Fluor Protector group 23.3％,the saline group 53.3％.There were significant statistical difference of the rate of enamel demineralization between the Duraphat varnish group and 0.1％ Fluor Protector group,and that between the Duraphat varnish group and the saline group (P ＜ 0.01).There was no statistical difference of that between the Duraphat varnish group and the Tooth Mousse group (P ＞0.05).There were no statistical difference of DIAGNOdent reading between the experimental group and the control groups before bonding(P ＞ 0.05).After bonding,one month later and three months later,there was no statistical difference of DIAGNOdent reading between the Duraphat varnish group and the Tooth Mousse group (P ＞ 0.05).There was significant statistical difference of that between the Duraphat varnish group and 0.1％ Fluor Protector group(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Duraphat varnish can reduce the tooth enamel demineralization more effectively than 0.1％ Fluor Protector and saline in orthodontic treatment,and also can be used for children who were wearing fixed orthodontic appliances.
