Objective To prepare an occupation well-being scale for nurses, and test its reliability and validity. Methods After literature review and semi-structured interviews, the item pool of the occupation well-being scale for nurses was created based on theory of structure of the subjective well-being. After group discussion, and evaluation by the specialists, a pilot scale was obtained. A total of 350 clinical nurses were selected by using stratified sampling method, and their occupation well-being were surveyed by the scale. The data were used to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The occupation well-being scale for nurses had 3 dimensions, including 8 exploring factors. The values of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient of the total scale, endogenous exogenous satisfaction, satisfaction of nurses occupation happiness were all larger than 0.9, which meaned the internal consistency was good. In the emotion dimension, the value of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient were less than 0.7, which meant the internal consistency was not so good. The reliability coefficient of repeated measurement of the whole scale and each dimension were greater than 0.7, suggesting the external consistency of the scale was good. The content validity index of 3 dimensions were all larger than 0.9,and the cumulative ex-planatory variables were all larger than 55%. Conclusion The occupation well-being scale for nurses proposed in this study has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the occupation well-being of the nurses.

Objective To explore the effect of astragalus extracts on adherence, migration, cell viability, microvascular formation, and eNOS expression in bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) of rats. Methods EPCs were cultured, isolated and identified in vitro and divided into four groups: low titer group (10-4 g/L of astragalus extracts), middle titer group (10-3 g/L of astragalus extracts), high titer group (10-2 g/L of astragalus extracts) and control group. The effects of astragalus extract on adhesion, migration or microvascular formation were observed under the inverted microscope and com?pared between all groups;Cell viability was detected by MTT assay;mRNA transcription and protein expression levels of en?dothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in EPCs were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot re?spectively. Results Compared with the control group, cell adhesion, migration and microvascular formation of EPCs all en?hanced with addition of astragalus extracts in a dose dependent manner (F=15.256, 13.633, 97.549 respectively, and P <0.05 in all cases); Cell vitality of EPCs increased with administration of astragalus extracts in a time and dose dependant manner. (F=9.755 for time and F=10.18 for dose). mRNA transcription and protein expression of eNOS in EPCs were up-reg?ulated with addition of astragalus extracts in a dose dependent manner (F=56.356 and 77.125 respectively, and P<0.05 in both cases). Conclusion Astragalus extracts play important role in angiogenesis in EPCs probably through up-regulating expressions of eNOS.

Objective To report the technique and effect of distally based, cross-leg, anterolateral thigh flap for reconstructing the soft tissue defects in middle and distal thirds of the contralateral leg. Methods Five patients of soft tissue defects in lower legs associated with injuries to the eontralateral legs were treated with distally based, cross-leg, anterolateral thigh flaps of the contralateral limbs. Results After the pedicle division at 6 weeks postoperatively, the 5 flaps all survived. And the blood supply of flaps remained steady when followed up for 12 to 15 months. The flaps possessed favorable contours, and allowed successful secondary repair of injured bones or tendons. The donor sites healed primarily, and no influence was observed to the donor limbs. Conclusion For the soft tissue defects in middle and distal thirds of leg associated with damage to the surrounding tissues and arterial injury of the contralateral leg, cross-leg transplantation of the contralateral distally based anterolateral thigh flap is a good option of reconstruction.

Objective To analyze the endemic situation of schistosomiasis after its interruption of transmission in Xiuzhou District,Jiaxing City,Zhejiang Province,so as to provide the references for future surveillance work. Methods The data of schistosomiasis and Oncomelania hupensis snails in Xiuzhou District were collected and analyzed statistically. Results From 1994 to 2015,totally 975 village?times were investigated for O. hupensis snails,and the accumulated area of 4 385.31 hm2 was surveyed. Twenty former snail sites were reoccurring,with an area of 32.61 hm2. An area of 57.71 hm2 was supplied with snail eradication measures. Totally 11 941 snails were dissected and no schistosome infected snails were found. The serum and stool tests were performed to 221 794 and 3 731 residents respectively,and no local infection cases but four imported cases were found. Conclusion The endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Xiuzhou District is stable after the transmission was interrupt?ed. However,there are imported schistosomiasis cases,and therefore,the prevention of imported infection source is the focus of surveillance work.

3-hydroxy-3-methylgulutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors or statins are a kind of lipid-lowering agents and have been used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies suggested that statins, besides lowering cholesterol, may protect vessels by enhancing the activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). In the present study, we investigated if simvastatin increases eNOS activity through its phosphorylation in 293 cells (293-eNOS) with stable expression of eNOS. The results showed that incubation of 293-eNOS cells with simvastatin (10 microm/L) for 2 h significantly increased in the activity of eNOS as shown by the conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline (2889.70+/-201.51 versus 5630.18+/-218.75 pmol/min . mg proteins) (P<0.01). Western blotting revealed that simvastatin increased phosphorylation of eNOS at 1177 (ser) and also 495 (thr) but did not affect the overall expression of eNOS or inducible NOS. Further study found that simvastatin raised phosphorylation levels of Akt and AMPK, and such effect could be antagonized by Akt inhibitor or AMPK inhibitor. These results suggest that simvastatin could stimulate the activity of eNOS via its phosphorylation by Akt and AMPK, which provides a new mechanism, other than lipid-lowering effect, for the cardiovascular protection of statins.

Aim To explore the effect of protein kinase D1 (PKD1 )on adherence,migration,proliferation, microvascular formation,and eNOS expression in bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)of rats.Method The EPCs were isolated from bone marrow of rats,cultured and detected,the effects of PKD1 and its specific blocking agent CID755673 on adhesion,migration,proliferation,or microvascular formation were observed,as well as mRNA and protein expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS ) in EPCs.Results PKD1 significantly promoted adhe-sion,migration,proliferation and microvascular forma-tion of EPCs,and upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of eNOS in EPCs,according to the cell cul-ture experiments of EPCs in vitro.Conclusion PKD1 has the role of angiogenesis through regulation of EPCs,which might be dependent on eNOS.
