3.Correlation study of the unplanned extubation caused by peripherally inserted central catheter in neonates with different tip postions
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(9):675-678
Objective To investigate the incidence of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) complications in neonates. Methods A retrospective analysis of PICC in 201 cases in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from January 2015 to October 2016, who were divided into the central group and non-central group according to the position of the catheter tip. Compare unplanned extubation rate, catheter-related bloodstream infection rate, catheter indwelling time of PICC catheter and removing reasons between these two groups. Results One hundred and sixty-five cases in central group and thirty-six cases in non-central group. The unplanned extubation rate of the central group was 18.2% (30/165) while 22.2% (8/36) of non-central group, the difference wasnot statistically significant (χ2=0.315, P=0.639). The difference of the catheter-related bloodstream infection rate (P=0.471), the catheter indwelling time and removing reasons between these two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions Even if the position of PICC tip is not in superior or inferior vena, it still can be used in neonatal population, but should pay attention to safe medical care.
4.Changes in mRNA levels of cardiac α1-adrenergic receptor and angiotensin Ⅱ receptor subtypes with aging in rats
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2008;27(9):697-701
Objective To examine the expression levels of α1-adrenergie receptor(α1-AR)and angiotensinⅡ reeeptor(ATR)subtypes in left ventricle of rats from adolescent age, middle age,presenium to senium. Methods Semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to quantitate the messenger RNA (mRNA) of α1-AR and ATR subtypes in left ventricle in Wistar rats aged 3-months (adolescent age), 12-months (middle age), 18-months (presenium) and 24-months (senium). Results The expression of α1A-AR mRNA was decreased gradually with aging, and the gene expression of α1 D-AR was repressed in middle age and presenium,while the expression of a,B-AR mRNA remained unchanged during senescence. Cardiac AT1R expression was not affected by aging from adolescent age to presenium, but exhibited a remarkable up-regulation in senium There was no significant discrepancies of cardiac AT2R expression among the four different age groups. Conclusions The results suggest that there are considerable changes in mRNA levels of cardiac α1-AR and ATR subtypes with aging. The change of cardiac α1-AR and ATR expression during aging is a protective response for senescence and has an important significance in maintaining normal physiological functions of heart.
5.Non-coding small RNA and melanoma
Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(7):541-543
Non-coding small RNA mainly includes microRNA, small interfering RNA and RNA interacting with PIWI protein.Studies have shown that non-coding small RNA plays an increasingly important role in the epigenetic regulation.Non-coding small RNA is involved in the regulation of gene expression by gene transcription, post-transcription and mRNA translation.Non-coding small RNA is closely related to many human diseases, especially the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of melanoma.
