1.Application of the TMS-EEG technique in cognitive research
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2009;32(3):157-161
Since the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique to interfere neu-ral activity of brain, the combination of TMS and other neuron-imaging techniques has been widely used, espe-cially in cognitive research. Electroencephalogram (EEG) occupies a special position in this field due to its higher time resolution and lower experimental cost. The present paper reviews the application of TMS-EEG combined technique from the aspects of the main research topics, simultaneous recording, artifacts elimination, data pro-cessing and so on. Current problems and possible solution related to this technique are also discussed in the pa-per. With those new related solutions being put forward, more achievements will be obtained in the research area of TMS-EEG combined technique.

Objective To investigate the nurses′tasks in community hospitals in southwest China, so as to provide references for building nursing profession advanced examination system matching with the clinical requirements of community. Methods Different Professional Titles Nurses′ Tasks Questionnaire developed by the Ministry of Health was used to investigate 201 nurses in 10 community hospitals that were randomly selected in southwest China. Results Nurse professional title with primary title mainly accounted for 59.20% (119/201),and the nurses who had received secondary and college degree accounted for 43.28%(87/201), 38.81%(78/201). 120 items of nursing tasks were divided into 8 dimensions, the highest of implementation frequency score was the dimension related with drug treatment which scored 3.05±1.18, while the lowest was related with meeting the patients′basic needs which scored 1.40 ± 1.05; the highest of tasks′ importance assess score was the task dimension related with drug treatment which scored 3.36 ± 0.56, while the lowest was the dimension of communications which scored 2.74 ± 0.81. The correlation analysis of execution frequency and importance assess of each dimension showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.161-0.397,P<0.05), except the dimension related with drug treatment(r=0.128,P>0.05). Score difference of tasks’execution frequency and importance evaluation for different Professional titles nurses had no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions The reform of the nurses′career advanced examination should be combined with development status and nurses′tasks in community, in addition, both raising the nurses′ comprehensive quality and improving job responsibilities and functions division of community is the basis of the reform.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) as a genetic carrier are beneficial to keep a genetic stability of exogenous gene. BMSCs can transfer human vascular endothelial growth factor (hVEGF) gene into the myocardial infarcted area. It is possible to obtain a cooperation of gene and cell therapy. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the angiogenesis at myocardial infarcted area of rats undergoing the transplantation of BMSCs transfected with hVEGF gene and in vivo expression of VEGF gene. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized control experiment was performed at the Institute of Paediatrics of Hunan Children's Hospital and Central Laboratory of Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from 2004 to 2007. MATERIALS: Male clean inbred strain Wistar rats were selected in the study. Rat models of myocardial infarction were established by ligation of coronary artery. METHODS: BMSCs were harvested from rats by density gradient centrifugation and adherent culture. Plasmid PeDNA3. 1-hVEGF 165 were transfected at 80%-90% cell confluence. Rat models of myocardial infarction, constructed by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, were randomly divided into 4 groups. 2 weeks after the ligation,BMSCs transfected with hVEGF gene were injected into rat models in the combination group at the myocardial infarction zone. BMSCs were injected into cell group. Liposome-pcDNA3.1-VEGF165 DNA compound was injected into gene group. Culture medium was injected into control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Capillary density and VEGF gene expression in the myocardial infarcted area of rats in each group four weeks after injection. RESULTS: Capillary density was the highest at rat myocardial infarcted area in the combination and gene groups, followed by the cell group (P=0.001, 0.029) and the control group (P=0.028).Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that the hVEGF165 gene was expressed in the combination, gene, cell and control groups from higher level to lower level in order. CONCLUSION: BMSCs as the vector of VEGF gene are beneficial to its stable expression.Transplantation of BMSCs transfected with hVEGF gene is helpful for angiogenesis at myocardial infarcted area of rats. Its outcome is better than gene or cell therapy alone.
