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 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 summary the experience of the treatment of the patient in perioperative period with TAPVC.Methods:24 children(Male/Female 16/8)with TAPVC corrective operation were collected from March 2007 to June 2009,which age from 10 d to 182m(16.78?37.30)m and weight from 2.8～36 kg(7.00?6.83)kg.The care and treatment were applied to all cases after surgery,which included mechanical ventilation and continually low-does inotropic agents.Results:Two cases died postoperatively of pneumorrhagia and infection complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,respectively.The period of mechanical ventilation was 3～393(72.83? 80.63)h.The complication included low cardiac output syndrome(3 cases),pnmonia(11 cases),respiratory dysfunction(13 cases), arrhythmia(5 cases)and pneumorrhagia(1 case).Six cases were re-intubated children.Conclusion:TAPVC,especially with obstrction of pulmonary venous,should be surgically correced as earlier as possible to prevent pulmonary pertention and fibrosis of pulmonary venous.Pneumonia and respiratory dysfunction are the most important reason for prolonged ventilation time and ICU stay after cardiac surgery.Therefore,optimal respiratory management and prevention of low cardiac output will be beneficial for intensive care after TAPVC corrective operation.

Eddy current is one of the most important factors that influence image quality during the process of magnetic resonance imaging. This paper analyzes the reason that eddy current appears and introduces several methods to compensate it. A new method to adjust parameters of eddy current compensation is developed, which proves efficient to enhance image quality through XGY OPER-0.3 MRI system.

The liver X receptor(LXR) is one of the nuclear receptors related to metabolic syndrome.LXR plays an important role in the balance of cholesterol and lipid metabolism.LXR has been found to increase the utilization of glucose,decrease the insulin resistance,and simultaneously has an adverse effect in islet β cell.LXR influences fat cell differentiation and reduces expression of the obese gene then cause obesity.It also participates the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver and control the atherosclerosis.LXR is involved in inflammatory responses in macrophages and lymphocytes.The ability of LXR to integrate metabolic and inflammatory signaling makes it particularly attractive target for intervention in human metabolic diseases.In this review,we summarize the studies of LXR,clarify the LXR in the prospects for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.

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 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.

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.

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.
