Objective To explore the change of cytoskeleton and the variance of Ca2+ in cultured cells during the invasion of Toxoplasma gondii. Methods Tachyzoites suspensions were gathered by routine method and used to infect phagocytic cells(J774A.1)and non-phagocytic cells (HUVEC). The ability of T. gondii invading into the cells and the influence of cytoskeleton inhibitor,colchicine and cytochalasin D,were observed by microscopy. The rearrangement of cytoskeleton of cells was observed by fluoromicroscopy. By using laser scanning confocal microscope,the variance of Ca2+ in J774A.1 and HUVEC was detected. Results Ca2+ increased greatly in J774A.1 during the invasion of T.gondii(P0.05). The microfilaments of J774A.1 were agglomerated during the invasion of T. gondii. Cytoskeleton inhibitor,cytochalasin D(P0.05)during the invasion and cytoskeleton was not changed. Cytochalasin D and colchicine showed little effect on the infection rate of HUVEC. Conclusion The concentration of Ca2+ increases greatly and cytoskeleton(mainly the microfilament)has been rearranged in phagocytic cell during the invasion of T. gondii,while both of them show no significant change in non-phagocytic cell.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for better improving the risk perception of Omeprazole sodium for injection in nurses in a third-grade class-A hospital,strengthening risk management of ward drugs and ensuring safety of patients. METHODS:Nurses in the clinical departments in a third-grade class-A hospital where usage frequency of Omeprazole sodium for injection was relatively more were adopted as study subjects and a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate on related knowledge on medication risk in nurses in emergency department,gastroenterology department,ICU and CCU in 2012 and 2014. RESULTS:51 and 81 questionnaires were distributed in 2012 and 2014,and 51 and 81 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%and 100%,respectively. In both surveys,100% surveyed nurses could correctly choose one solvent at least,1.96% and 3.70%nurses could correctly choose 2 solvents;correct answering rates of intravenous administration time were 94.12% and 96.30%,re-spectively;correct answering rates of stable duration after preparation were both lower than 9%;correct answering rates of adverse reaction of this drug were 3.92% and 1.23%,respectively;correct answering rates of interaction of this drug were 1.96% and 6.17%,respectively;correct answering rates of stable formulation of this drug were 17.65%and 22.22%,respectively;the propor-tion of nurses observing ADRs were 25.49% and 13.58%,respectively;the proportion of nurses finding inappropriate compatibility were 15.69% and 22.22%,respectively,Ornidazole and sodium chloride injection was the most used incompatible drug;45% or more nurses hoping to strengthen the continuing education of nursing personnel. CONCLUSIONS:Nurses in this third-grade class-A hospital lack certain knowledge on the medication risk of Omeprazole sodium for injection,the drug risk management is not sufficient,and awareness prevention of drug risk is relative weak. It is suggested that the hospital should strengthen drug risk management system,nurses should strengthen the learning about drug risk and play the role of clinical pharmacists in the drug risk management to reduce the related drug risk and incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To observe the effect and safety of pleural effusion treated by closed thoracic drainage with micro-catheter. Methods A total of 64 cases with pleural effusion were randomly divided into conventional therapy group ( control group ) and closed thoracic drainage with micro-catheter group ( treatment group) , each group including( 32 cases ). Control group were treated with drainage of thoracic puncture interruptedly while treatment group treated by closed thoracic drainage with micro-catheter. Results Both two therapeutic methods could reduce pleural effusion, but obvious effective rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group( P < 0.05 ). Meanwhile, the rate of pleural reaction and treatment cost in treatment group were lower than that in control group. Conclusion Closed thoracic drainage with micro-catheter was effective, lower treatment cost and lower complications. Moreover, it could reduce medical risk.

N-3 and n-6 unsaturated fatty acids are essential fatty acids. It is necessary for human health. At present, the diet contains a disproportionally high amount of n-6 PUFAs and low amount of n-3 PUFAs, and the resulting high n-6/n-3 ratio is thought to contribute to cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and cancer. This article is about the polyunsaturated fatty acid uptake and metabolism in its study on the impact of progress in cancer and inflammatory diseases and its mechanism of action and clinical research.

Objective To investigate the rationality and safety of dengzhanxixin injection used in elderly inpatients. Methods The clinical data of 986 inpatients including 620 males and 366 females were collected, and questionnaires containing age, sex, discharge diagnosis, symptoms, drug dosage, course of treatment, laboratory examination, adverse drug reaction and drug effect were analyzed. Results For the 986 cases, the average age was(74.3±7.5)years. The average dose of dengzhanxixin injection was (38.2±4.4) ml, once daily by intravenous drip, and the average period of treatment was (10.8±5.2) days. The adverse reaction rate was 0.81%. The levels of blood glucose and hemoglobin were decreased after treatment(t orμ=1226.5,2620.0, both P<0.05), but there were no statistical differences in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and white blood cell count (WBC) before and after treatment (t or μ=122.5, 405.0, 513.5, 996.5, 956.5, all P>0.05). Conclusions It is safe to use dengzhanxixin injection according to the medication description for elderly inpatients.

Objective To investigate the values of tCho concentration in early assessment therapeutic response of tumor to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 1HMR spectroscopy. Methods Twenty patients with breast cancer were recruited. All patients underwent biopsy before neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery after chemotherapy. The pathologic results before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were compared. The patients were divided into effective response group (R) and ineffective response group (IR). MRS acquisitions were performed within 1 week before chemotherapy and within 3 week after the first cycle of chemotherapy, respectively. The tCho concentration was calculated quantitatively using external standard method. The tCho concentrations before and after chemotherapy and the tumor sizes between R group and IR group were compared using t test and nonparametrie test. The values of tCho concentration in early assessment of the effectiveness of chemotherapy were analyzed by ROC. Results Of 20 cases, 16 were included in R group and 4 in IR group. In R group, significant differences of tCho concentration (t=5. 040, P < 0. 01 ) existed between before and after chemotherapy [ (4. 24 ± 3.09 ), ( 1.13 ± 1.14 ) mmol/L ], while not in I R group [ ( 3.72 ± 2. 69), ( 3.06 ± 2. 21 ) mmol/L, t = 1. 785, P > 0. 05 ]. The median sizes of tumor between R and IR group had no significant differences (0. 00,0. 00 cm, U = 23.00, W = 33.00, P = 0. 437). The area under ROC curve of tCho concentration was 0. 984. Conclusion With in vivo 1HMRS, the tChn concentration in breast cancer can serve as an indicator for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with relatively high sensitivity and specificity.
