AIM: To observe the pathological role of 3-nitrotynosine (3-NT) on Escherichia coli LPS-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats and the therapeutic effect of antioxidants. METHODS: Forty male SD rats weighting from 200 g to 250 g were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (n=10); LPS shock group (n=10); uric acid-treated group (n=10); melatonin-treated group (n=10). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (0.5-2.5 ?g?kg -1) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in MAP was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curve of aorta rings from all groups rats were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE E_ max, EC_ 50 were calculated. The concentrations of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrate/nitrite and 3-NT were assayed in all groups 6 h after LPS shock. RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased to 54.60% in LPS shock rats compared with the control (P

Objective To investigate the effective nursing measures of reducing the complications of intratra-cheal suction about mechanical ventilation patients to improve airway nursing quality. Methods 80 patients with ar-tificial air passage mechanical ventilation were divided into Control group (Group one, 40 cases) and Testing group (Group two, 40 cases) randomly. In the control group, suck at regular time after injecting normal saline solution in-to the in-airway (in order to diluted the sputum). There are improvement that nursing measures in testing group. For sample, suck sputums according to demands, choose appropriate sucking sputums tube, control the deepth of sucking sputum tube, adjust the negative pressure based on the deepth of sucking sputum tube, give pure oxygen two to three minutes before and after the suction, strengthen the airway humidfication, lubricate the sucking sputum tube with chlorotetracycline eye ointment, etc. Complications of intratracheal suction were compared in two groups. Results The comparison showed that the complications have a significant statistical difference in sputum obstruction, SpO2 de-scending to 80 percent and below during suction and airway mucous membrane traumatic hemorrhage. (P < 0.01). Conclusion The improved intratracheal suction will decrease the complications obviously like sputum obstruction, SpO2 reducing to 80 percent and below during suction and airway mucous membrane traumatic hemorrhage.

Objective We aimed to develop a safe, comfortable and effective perineal washer, which prevent perineum wound from infection and improve the healing of perineal wound. Methods The perineal washer was made from high polymer medical material, including two metal catheters, pressing gasbag, medical yoke and dicty blow head. We divided women patients after vagina delivery with perineum wound or after caesarean section into the observation group and the control group randomly with 120 cases in each group from Janurary to October 2007. The control group was given perineal washing by routine washing pot and cotton ball with forceps. The observation group received perineal washing by perineal washer with cleaning fluid and was scrubbed by sponge brash. The elimination of wood swelling, the healing of perineum healing, the urinary infection for patients with indwelling urinary catheterization and patients comfort degree were observed in the two groups. Results Statistical difference existed between the two groups in such aspects, elimination of wound swelling wound healing urinary tract infection and patients comfort degree, P<0.05 or P<0.01. Conclusions Adoption of self designed perineal washer accompanied with sponge brush could completely delete bacteria and inflammatory secretion deep in the vagina and prevent the incidence of infection. It not only could hasten the elimination of wound swelling, alleviate the pain and wound healing, but also was easily developed and portable to use. It provided a new and effective method for perineal washing and is worth clinical application.

It is of essential importance for college students to think creatively. Flexible teaching methods have been adopted during the teaching of medical writing in our university. We inspired, guided, stimulated students to develop their creative thought. The purpose of the article is to develop the creative thought of the students in medical universities.

By mean of the isolated perfused working heart model, the changes of myocardial contractile and relaxation functions, ventricular cell action potentials, myocardial oxygen and glucose consumptions etc. were observed at 1st,3rd, 8th and 24th h after burn injury in the guinea-pigs inflictedly III degree burn injury on 35% TBA. The results indicate that. 1 ) The contractile and relaxation functions go through a time course of 'normal-decrease-recover', i.e. the cardiac functions show a normal level within 1 h after burn injury. Then they are depressed gradually,and to the lowest at 8th h or so, after burn injury. The cardiac functions recover partly at 24th h after burn injury. It suggests that there is a repaired mechanism by itself in heart of the burn animal; 2 ) The depression of myocardial contractile and relaxation functions are related with depression of the oxygen consumption rather than reduce of intaking in nutrients; 3) the influencing factors of burn injury on the coronary flow and electrical activity of myocardial cells could be removed easily by the perfusate. It shows that these effects may be result from the extracardiac neurohumoral factors.

Objective:To study the biological functions of bone marrow macrophage (BMM ?) and to establish the methodology of separation, purification, cultivation and identification of BMM ?.Methods:Using the techniques of anchorage-dependent culture of separated rat bone marrow cell (rBMC) in DMEM culture media (contain 20% horse serum,20% (v/v)L 929 conditioned media) in vitro,a lot of purified anchor cells were obtained, and these cells were identified with specifically biological marker of macrophage, such as 1, morphologicalobservation:invert phase contrast microscopy, light and electron microscopy;2, enzyme cytochemistry:acid phosphatase (ACP),?-acetic acid naphthol esterase (?-ANE);3,phagocytic experiment:phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes and prepared Chinese ink;4,immunocytochemistry: surface specific antigen of macrophage ( CD 68 stain).Results:The cells were purified having functional satisfactory macrophage according to morphological observation,enzyme cytochemistry, phagocytic experiment and immunocytochemistry.Conclusion:This is a simple and easy method for separation, purification, cultivation and identification of rat marrow macrophage.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between rater-ratee similarities/differences in some individual characteristics and organizational citizenship behavior(OCB) appraisal. Methods: 103 vertical dyads were assessed by Personality Scale for Enterprise Managers and Chinese OCB Scale. Results: There existed significantly positive correlations between similarities in seven demographic indices and other-oriented OCB dimensions; differences in personality traits correlated significantly negatively with some dimensions of OCB appraisal; age difference had non-liner regression relationship with other-oriented OCB dimensions.Conclusion: Similarities/differences of individual characteristics related closely with OCB appraisal.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the characteristics of drug-induced eye impairment.METHODS:206 cases of drug-induced eye impairment reported in internal medical journals published from Jan.1998 to Dec.2005 were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:The drug-induced eye impairment was mostly induced by anti-infective drugs,hormones,nervous system drugs.The impairment was manifested predominantly by glaucoma,keratitis,scleritis;retinopathy,hyphema,xeroma,damage of corneal epithelium and visual disorder etc.CONCLUSION:Clinicians should pay great attention to the drug-induced eye impairment for it can lead to a decline in eyesight or even loss of eyesight.

Objective To explore the relative factors and prognosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. Methods The clinical data of upper gastrointestinal bleeding of 502 inpatients from January 1990 to September 2004 were statistically analyzed. Results Males and middle-aged patients with hepatic cirrhosis occurred upper gastrointestinal bleeding more frequently, and the most commom causes were vessel rupture of esophage or gastric varices, portal hypertensive gastropathy, and peptic ulcer. The most common complications of upper gastrointestinal bleeding were severe bleeding shock, hepatic encephaopathy, hepatorenal syndrome,etc. Drinking wine and NSAIDs were the most common inducements of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The efficient rate of medical management was 89.84%,the death rate was 10.16%, and the most common death causes were shock of severe bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatorenal syndrome. Conclusion Sex,age, and season,etc. were related to upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. Bleeding causes, liver function, complications, and age, etc. were factors affecting prognosis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) generally occurs in older patients, however the proportion of young patients with CRC is increasing in recent years, which has drawn lots of scholar′s attention, but their research results were controversial. The current literature from several fields, including clinicopathological characteristic of young CRC patients, the optimal age cutoff between young and elder CRC patients, and the prognosis, early screening and diagnosis in young CRC patients will be reviewed.
