Skin sensitization (allergic contact dermatitis, ACD), is a serious condition caused by small reactive molecules and is characterized by a delayed-type hypersensitivity .Animal tests were usually used in the evaluation of sensitizing potential of chemical substances in the past .However , there is an increasing interest from the public for reducing and ultimately replacing animal tests .The European Union (EU) has posed a ban on animal testing of cosmetic ingredients that includes skin sensitization since 2013.Therefore, alternative in vitro tests are the main tendency in chemical substances and cosmetic sensitizing potential research in the future .In this study, different kinds of in vitro test methods that were adopted by OECD or on research (LLNA, DPRA, KeratinoSens TM, h-CLAT) were reviewed through recent years literature , comprehensive introduction and evaluation were made to obtain reliable hazard and potency information on potential skin sensitizers .

Objective:To investigate the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)in gynecological patients in a hospital and analyze the use rationality of PPIs for the prevention of stress ulcer so as to provide reference for the clinical application of PPIs. Methods:To-tally 1000 patients' medical records admitted to the gynecological department for the first time from January 1st to December 31st in 2016 were randomly selected to conduct a retrospective analysis,and the rationality of PPIs was evaluated. Results:The preventive use rate of PPIs was 90.72%(880/970). Among the 880 patients, 28.18%(248/880) of the patients were without indications for the preventive medication,95.68%(842/880) of the patients were with wrong administration time, and 91.46%(578/632) of the pa-tients were with wrong usage and dosage. Conclusion:When PPIs are used for the prevention of SU in gynecological surgery,irrational use such as without indications, unsuitable variety selection and wrong usage and dosage still exists. It is suggested that regulators should strengthen technical and administrative interventions and establish standard for the rational use of PPIs in hospitals so as to avoid the excessive use of PPIs and improve the situation of inappropriate application.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of emodin ( EM) in the expression of related protein for the fibrosis of the transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)-stimulated human renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells. Methods: HK-2 cells were randomly divided into the normal control group, TGF-β1-stimulated model control group and emodin ( TGF-β1 +EM) group. The contents of Collage Ⅰ and fibronectin in the culture supernatant were determined by ELISA. After HK-2 cells were stimulated with TGF-β1 for 24 h, the cells were collected for immunofluorescence, Western blot and RT-PCR analysis. RT-PCR was used to detect PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR. The protein expressions of PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blot. Immunofluorescence was used to detect PI3K. Results: Compared with those in the model control group, the contents of CollageⅠand fibronectin in the supernatant of emod-in group significantly decreased (P<0. 05), the expression of PI3K protein was inhibited, the expression of downstream p-Akt protein decreased, and the downstream mTOR decreased (P<0. 05), the expression levels of PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR mRNA decreased, the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05), and the expression of PI3K decreased. Conclusion: Emodin can alleviate fibrosis of HK-2 cells stimulated by TGF-β1 through the classical Akt/mTOR pathway of autophagy.

Objective:
To explore the feasibility of applying Omaha system theory to patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) through comparative analysis of nursing description.
Methods:
Using content extraction analysis method, the nursing records, nursing plans and nursing measures of discharged patients with CHD were retrieved from the medical records, and then the conceptual consistency of the extracted records and the problem classification system and intervention measures in the Omaha system were evaluated by cross mapping method.
Results:
A total of 2 609 nursing problems and intervention measures were extracted from the medical records of 68 patients with CHD. Among them, 1 844 (70.68%) records were labeled as "perfect fit", 608 records (23.30%) as "partial fit", and 157 (6.02%) recordsas "not fit at all". The total fit rate was 93.98% (perfect fit and partial fit). The most frequently reported problems were in physiological domain, followed by health-related behaviors domain, psychosocial domain and environmental domain. The nursing interventions extracted accounted for 26.67% (1 968 sentences) of directions and l00.00% (4 kinds) of categories in the intervention scheme of Omaha system.
Conclusions
The conceptual congruence between the medical records of patients with CHD and the Omaha System is quite high. It can help to improve nursing problems of patients of CHD in health-related behavioral domain, psychosocial domain and environmental domain, and can be applied to such patients after appropriate adjustment, so as to help clinical nursing staff to provide specialized and all-round guidance for patients with CHD.

OBJECTIVE: To promote rational use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) during perioperative period. METHODS: PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action) cycle management was used, the irrational use of PPIs of 300 medical records in neurosurgery department of our hospital were collected. The reasons were analyzed, management target was formulated and measures were implemented. The effects of management were evaluated through comparing the rate of irrational drug use and ratio of irrational type of PPIs in 300 medical records of neurosurgery department during perioperative period after management. RESULTS: Through collecting related data to confirm risk factors of stress ulcer, establishing rationality evaluation criteria for perioperative prophylactic use of PPIs, conducting rational drug use training among medical staff, drawing up various management systems and strengthening supervision and management, the rate of irrational use of PPIs was decreased significantly in our hospital; the number of irrational drug use cases decreased from 240 before management to 156 after management, among which the rate of prophylactic drug use without indication decreased from 37.33% to 29.00% (P<0.05); the irrational dosage rate decreased from 11.33% to 6.33% (P<0.05); the rate of irrational dosing frequency dropped from 12.67% to 5.00% (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: PDCA cycle management of our hospital can standardize the prophylactic use of PPIs in neurosurgery department during perioperative period and promote rational use of PPIs.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the regulatory effect of berberine on autophagy and apoptosis balance of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) from patients with in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and explore the mechanism.
METHODS:
The inhibitory effect of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 μmol/L berberine on RA-FLS proliferation was assessed using CCK-8 method. Annexin V/PI and JC-1 immunofluorescence staining was used to analyze the effect of berberine (30 μmol/L) on apoptosis of 25 ng/mL TNF-α- induced RA-FLSs, and Western blotting was performed to detect the changes in the expression levels of autophagy- and apoptosis-related proteins. The cells were further treated with the autophagy inducer RAPA and the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine to observe the changes in autophagic flow by laser confocal detection of mCherry-EGFP-LC3B. RA-FLSs were treated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) mimic H2O2 or the ROS inhibitor NAC, and the effects of berberine on ROS, mTOR and p-mTOR levels were observed.
RESULTS:
The results of CCK-8 assay showed that berberine significantly inhibited the proliferation of RA-FLSs in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Flow cytometry and JC-1 staining showed that berberine (30 μmol/L) significantly increased apoptosis rate (P < 0.01) and reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential of RA-FLSs (P < 0.05). Berberine treatment obviously decreased the ratios of Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05) and LC3B-II/I (P < 0.01) and increased the expression of p62 protein in the cells (P < 0.05). Detection of mCherry-EGFP-LC3B autophagy flow revealed obvious autophagy flow block in berberine-treated RA-FLSs. Berberine significantly reduced the level of ROS in TNF-α-induced RA-FLSs and upregulated the expression level of autophagy-related protein p-mTOR (P < 0.01); this effect was regulated by ROS level, and the combined use of RAPA significantly reduced the pro-apoptotic effect of berberine in RA-FLSs (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
Berberine can inhibit autophagy and promote apoptosis of RA-FLSs by regulating the ROS-mTOR pathway.
