Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(8):403-404
Objective To study and analyze the related factors of neonatal dopamine leakage in NICU and psychological intervention. Methods 100 cases of neonatal NICU patients who received intravenous infusion of dopamine in our hospital from February 2015 to October 2017 were selected and randomly divided into two groups,the control group and the experimental group,with 10 patients in each group.The patients in the control group were given routine nursing care,the patients in the experimental group were given comprehensive care and psychological intervention,and they paid attention to the psychological status of the patients,and carried out a comprehensive evaluation,and given positive care.The clinical indexes of the experimental group and the control group were compared and analyzed. Results After the corresponding nursing mode,10 cases in the control group were transfused 100 times,and 30 cases of secondary leakage occurred,accounting for 30.0%.In the experimental group,10 cases were transfused 100 times,and 16 cases of secondary leakage occurred,accounting for 16.0%.The probability of dopamine leakage in the control group was significantly higher than that in the experimental group,with statistical difference.In the experimental group,9 parents were satisfied with the nursing work,and the satisfaction rate was 90.0%.In contrast,42 parents were satisfied with the nursing work,and the satisfaction rate was 80.0%. The satisfaction degree of nursing in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion The application of psychological intervention in neonatal NICU intravenous infusion of dopamine and comprehensive care,can reduce the occurrence probability of leakage of dopamine in a large extent,improve nursing satisfaction,to build a harmonious doctor-patient relationship is further applied in clinical significance.

Objective To establish a way to measure the injury severity of articular surface due to posterior malleolus fracture and investigate its clinical significance based on three-dimensional reconstruction technique.Methods Between May 2009 and March 2014,138 cases of peri-ankle injury combined with posterior malleolus fracture were treated.Lateral radiographs were reviewed to measure the ratio of posterior fragment area to distal tibial plafond area using the common method.Three-dimensional CT images were examined to measure ratio of the area of injury using the three-dimensional measuring method.Statistical comparison was made using the t-test and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results Measurement failed on 33 lateral radiographs and 13 three-dimensional CT images.Six cases cannot be measured by both imaging technology,so results of 98 cases were compared.Ratio of posterior fragment area to tibial plafond area was (16.2 ± 7.2) % measured by radiographs and was (29.6 ±10.1) % by three-dimensional CT scans (P < 0.05).Three-dimensional CT measurements showed higher intra and inter-observer agreement (ICC of 0.973 to 0.942) than that in radiographic measurements (ICC of 0.875 to 0.860).Conclusion Three-dimension CT assessment of the extent of injury to articular surface because of posterior malleolus fracture is reliable and reproducible,but radiographic assessment may underestimate the injury and influence the choice of surgical indications.

Objective To understand the attitude and current situation of medical English stud y as well as its relevant factors among long schooling medical students so as to provide first hand information for constructing students-centered medical English teaching model. Methods A self-de-signed questionnaire including basic information of students, attitude and current situation of medical English students was given to 134 seven or eight year program clinical medical graduates from grade 2006 to grade 2008 in Tongji University. Questionnaires were collected timely and an-alyzed with SPSS 19.0 and results were described by percentage. Results Totally 132 copies of questionnaire were recovered with an recovering rate of 98.51%. 56.82%(75/132) students had interest in medical English study and 71.97%(95/132)students had a will to go abroad for learning exchange. Main pur-poses for students to learn medical English were ‘professional literature reading’(68.94%,91/132),‘SCI papers writing’(59.09%,78/132)and ‘international communication’(58.33%, 77/132). Main influencing factors of medical English study were ‘boring teaching methods ’ ( 45 . 45%, 60/132 ) ,‘difficult medical English’(41.67%,55/132) and ‘insufficient teaching time’(40.91%,54/132).Conclusions Medical students with long schooling have demand for medical English study;however, most of them have some difficulties in practical application. Measures should be taken from three as-pects including students, teachers and curriculum setting to improve students' medical English.

Objective To provide references for anatomical reduction and correct implantation in treatment of distal fibular fracture by analyzing morphological characteristics of distal fibula on three-dimensional (3D) modes.Methods 16-row spiral CT scans of 126 normal ankle structures from May 2009 to June 2014 were collected.Surface shaded display technique was used to reconstruct 3-D images of bones around the ankle.The distal fibula was extracted using 3D segmentation technique.The parameters of distal fibula were measured by selecting points,lines and surfaces on the 3D models.Results The morphological characteristics of distal fibula were complicated.Significant differences were observed between males and females in most parameters (P < 0.05),but not in the length between the plane of the most lateral point of the tibial anterior node and the most distal point of the fibula,the length between the midpoint of lateral border of the fibula and its opposite cortex on the plane of the most proximal border of the fibular fossa or the mean angle of posterior crest of the fibula (P > 0.05).The intra and interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were excellent.Conclusions When a lateral plate is used for internal fixation of distal fibula,the plate should be placed as proximally as possible.When a posterior-lateral plate is used,the screws to be inserted on the plane proximal to the initial point of anterior node of the tibia can be fixed bi-cortically.When a posterior plate is used,pre-contour of the plate before insertion is required.

Objective To investigate the impact of pair box 3 (PAX3) gene mutations on transcriptional ac‐tivity of target gene microphthalmia -associated transcription factor (MITF) and the role it plays in the pathogene‐sis of Waardenburg syndrome type I .Methods The 293T cells were transient transfected with wild type (WT ) PAX3 and mutant type (M T ) H80D ,H186fsX5 plasmids .We observed and analysed the regulation effects of WT/MT PAX3 on the transcriptional activities of MITF and the influence of the two mutants on WT PAX3 function u‐sing luciferase activity assays ,detect DNA binding capacity of WT/MT PAX3 to MITF gene promoter using a bioti‐nylated double - stranded oligonucleotide probe containing PAX3 binding motif ATTAAT to precipitate PAX3 , H80D and H186fsX5 respectively .Results H80D mutant was partially functional and was able to transactivate the MITF promoter in part ,but it was dramatically reduced as compared with WT PAX 3(P<0 .01) .H186fsX5 mu‐tant was loss -of -function and failed to transactivate the MITF promoter as compared with WT PAX 3 (P<0 .01) . None of them showed dominant -negative effect on WT PAX3(P>0 .05) .WT PAX3 and H80D mutant were able to bind specifically to the ATTAAT motif on the MITF promoter ,whereas H186fsX5 PAX3 lost the DNA -binding ability .Conclusion The mutations H80D and H186fsX5 made down-regulation of MITF transcription and decrease syn‐thesis of melanin ,which resulted in haploinsufficiency of PAX3 protein and caused mild phenotypes of WS1 .
