Objective To know the effect of pre-hospital emergency care for patients with acute cranio-cerebral injury. Methods Selected 312 patients with acute cranio-cerebral injury from Jan of 2005 to Jan of 2009 as the emergency group, selected 285 patients with acute cranio-cerebral injury from Jan of 2000 to Dec of 2004 as the control group. Retrospective analized the clinical condition between the two groups to know the effect of pre-hosptial emergency cares. Results There was significant difference of dead rate betweent the two groups, the prognosis of the two groups was also different. Conclusions Effective pre-hospital emergency care is very important for patients with acute eranio-cerebral injury, which can avoid certain complications and reduce dead rate.

Objective To explore the clinic value of sequential severity evaluation in emergency nursing for stroke patients. Methods 138 of stroke patients were enrolled in study group, which completed sequential severity evaluation in emergency medical and nursing provision drawn up according to the results. Another 207 of stroke patients were enrolled in control group, which emergency nursing provision drawn up according to general procedure. Length of time from emergency call to special therapeutic, mortality compared between the two groups respectively. Results In study group, length of time from emergency call to special therapeutic (48.9?34.1) min was significantly shorter than that of control group (73.1?46.7) min; mortality (11.1%) was significantly lower than that of control group (24.3%),cure rate (34.7%) was significantly higher than that of control group (26.9%). Conclusion Sequential severity evaluation in acute nursing may be a worthy procedure for proving reaction ability of nurse reaction ability in emergency medical and nursing, proving outcome for stroke patients and it should be commended.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of sulforaphane (SFN) on acute liver injury in mice induced by diquat (DQ) poisoning.Methods:Forty-eight male C57BL/6 mice were divided into Control group, DQ model group (DQ group), SFN intervention group (DQ+SFN group), and SFN control group (SFN group) using a random number table method, with 12 mice in each group. Acute liver injury mice model was established by one-time intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL of 40 mg/kg DQ solution at once. SFN group was injected with 1 mL of ddH 2O. After 4 hours of molding, 0.5 mL of 5 mg/kg SFN solution was injected into the peritoneal cavity of the DQ+SFN group and SFN group, once daily for 7 consecutive days. DQ group and Control group were injected with an equal amount of ddH 2O. Then, the mice were euthanized to collect liver tissue and blood samples, and the levels of plasma biomarkers alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as oxidative stress indicators such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissue were measured. The changes of liver structure were observed under transmission electron microscopy. The apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in liver tissue were observed under fluorescence microscope. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), and cleaved caspase-9 in liver tissue. Results:Compared with the Control group, the liver mitochondria in the DQ group showed severe swelling, partial dissolution of the matrix, and cristae rupture and loss; the levels of plasma AST and ALT significantly increased, the MDA content in the liver increased, the activities of SOD and GSH decreased, the level of ROS significantly increased, the number of apoptotic cells in the liver significantly increased, the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly decreased, and the protein expressions of Keap1 and cleaved caspase-9 significantly increased. Compared with the DQ group, the mitochondrial damage in the DQ+SFN group was reduced, the levels of plasma AST and ALT were significantly reduced [ALT (U/L): 58.22±4.39 vs. 79.94±3.32, AST (U/L): 177.64±8.40 vs. 219.62±11.60, both P < 0.01], the liver MDA content decreased, and the activities of SOD and GSH increased [MDA (μmol/g: 5.63±0.18 vs. 5.96±0.29, SOD (kU/g): 102.05±4.01 vs. 84.34±5.34, GSH (mmol/g): 16.32±1.40 vs. 13.12±1.84, all P < 0.05], the production of ROS in liver tissue was significantly reduced [ROS (fluorescence intensity): 115.90±10.89 vs. 190.70±10.16, P < 0.05], and apoptotic cells were significantly reduced (cell apoptosis index: 4.39±1.00 vs. 10.71±0.56, P < 0.01), the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly increased, while the protein expressions of Keap1 and cleaved caspase-9 were significantly decreased (Nrf2/β-actin: 1.15±0.04 vs. 0.93±0.05, HO-1/β-actin: 1.75±0.12 vs. 0.78±0.04, Keap1/β-actin: 1.00±0.14 vs. 1.28±0.13, cleaved caspase-9/β-actin: 1.31±0.12 vs. 1.81±0.09, all P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in various indicators between the SFN group and the Control group. Conclusion:SFN can activate the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to alleviate DQ induced acute liver injury in mice.

Objective To investigate the effect of the overexpression of Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6)towards the apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation.Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-C2-KLF6 which was successfully constructed were transfected into HLECs,followed by the detection of KLF6 level by using Western blot,and then companied by UVB stimulation.Cell viability was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.The morphology of the cells was observed by using hematoxylin-eosin staining method.The cell damage was examined by Live/Dead staining.The apoptotic markers bax and bcl-2 were detected by Western blot.Quantitative apoptotic levels were measured with the apoptosis detection kit;the expression level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was analyzed by DCFH-DA probe.Results The cell viability of the 0.5 μg transfection group and the 1.0 μg transfection group was significantly lower than that of the blank vector control group (both at P<0.05).In high KLF6 expression group,the cells were sparse,long and narrow in size and shape,and the cytoplasm was concentrated.The cells in the normal control group were green living cells with stable morphology and even quantity.The number of red dead cells was increased significantly in the KLF6 highexpression group.After UVB irradiation,the apoptosis value,relative bax expression,bax/bcl-2 ratio and ROS expression of HLECs cells in the KLF6 high-expression group were all higher than those in the blank vector control group,with statistically significant differences between them (all at P<0.05).Conclusions Overexpression of KLF6 can exacerbate apoptosis of HLECs caused by UVB,by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and promoting the accumulation of ROS in the endoplasmic reticulum.Down-regulation of KLF6 expression by biological tools may play a protective role on LECs to a certain extent.
