Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of HIV infection in voluntary blood donors in Liuzhou city to provide the basis for the blood donation recruit launched by the blood collection and tranfusion service agencies and reduce the risk of transfusion transmitted HIV.Methods The epidemiological investigation on the voluntary unpaid blood donors infected with HIV during 2008-2012 was performed for analyzing the infection characteristics.Results HIV infection in blood donors in Liuzhou city had no statistical difference between different years (P >0.05);the differences in different sexes,age groups,married and unmarried persons had statistically significant differences (P <0.01 );the education background less than middle school ac-counted for 52.94%;56.21% of the infectors were the sexual transmission.Conclusion HIV infection in voluntary unpaid blood donors in Liuzhou city is dominated by young adult men and the persons with the education level less than junior high school,and the heterosexual transmission is predominant.The donor recruitment work should pertinently exclude the persons of high-risk be-havior and collect blood in low risk population as far as possible.

Objective To study the role of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in the prognosis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in mice. Methods One hundred and twenty clean male Kunming mice were randomly ( random number) divided into normal saline control group (n =15),MODS model control group (n =15) and MODS + rhEGF treatment group (n =90).The MODS models were made by using Caballero ME method with thioacetamide (TAA) 2000 mg/kg injected intraperitoneally to establish monophasic rapid onset pattern of MODS model in mice.MODS + rhEGF treatment group was further randomly divided into two subgroups,namely intraperitoneal injection group (n =45 ) and subcutaneous injection group (n =45 ).Each subgroup was divided again into three small subgroups (n =15) as per different doses of rhEGF used,namely 10 μg/kg,30 μg/kg and 50 μg/kg.Within 24 hours after modeling,the respiration,body weight,food eaten and general physical changes were observed.Mortality was calculated 24 hours after modeling.After the animals sacrificed,the tissues of viscus including liver,kidney,heart,brain,lung,spleen,pancreas,intestine and stomach were collected immediately.The histological changes of visceral tissues were studied by using hematoxylin -eosin staining under the light microscope.All the experimental data were presented in,and body weight changes were compared using t-test,and after different routes of administration with different doses of rhEGF used in MODS,the mice body weight changes were analysed by using the Dunnett method,and the mortalities of mice were compared by using Fisher exact test,and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant difference. Results There was no significant difference in mortality betweeu mice in rhEGF subcutaneous administration group and MODS model control group (P > 0.05 ),but the total mortality of hrEGF MODS intraperitoneal administration group (6.7% in dose of 50 μg/kg and 20% in dose of 30 μg/kg) was significantly lower than that of MODS model control group (73.3%) ( P < 0.05 ) and the mortality of mice treated with intraperitoneal 50μg/kg rhEGF (6.7% ) was lower than that treated with 10μg/kg rhEGF (P=0.014).The mortality of mice in rhEGF MODS (50 μg/kg ) intraperitoneal administration group was significantly lower than that in subcutaneous administration group (40%) (P =0.031 ), The histopathological changes in rhEGF MODS treatment group were not as remarkable as seen in mice of control group.The histopathological changes were dose - dependent.The higher doses of rhEGF,the lesser hepatic congestion,liver cell apoptosis,hepatic cell cloudy swelling and cell vacuolization.Similarly,as RhEGF dosage increased,pulmonary interstitial congestion,inflammatory cells and apoptotic bodies reduced,and bronchial ciliated columnar epithelium less shed.Conclusions RhEGF plays a positive role in repairement of tissue damage in TAA - induced MODS murine model.The rhEGF given by intraperitoneal route of administration is more effective to reduce the 24 h mortality of MODS mice than that by subcutaneous route.

Objective To explore the correlations between trustworthiness leadership of head nurses and work immersion. Method A questionnaire on trustworthiness leadership of head nurse and the nurses′ work immersion scale were used to have investigation among 460 nurses. Results The total score on trustworthiness leadership was (105.04 ± 13.78), which was in the middle level and the total score on work immersion was (41.28 ± 10.08), which was at a higher level. The trustworthiness leadership was positively related to their work immersion as well as its dimensions (all P<0.05). Conclusion The administrators of the hospitals and nursing managers should pay attention to head nurse′s trustworthy leadership , for the purpose of improving the integrity of the leadership behavior of head nurses.

Objective To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on the expression of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) in cortical neurons in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Forty-five adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-320 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =15 each):sham operation group,I/R group and EA pretreatment group.Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 120 min,followed by 24 h of reperfusion.EA of Baihui acupoint lasting 30 min was performed and then the model of focal cerebral I/R was established 24 h later in EA group.Neurological function was assessed and scored at 24 h of reperfusion.The rats were then sacrificed and brains removed for detection of the cerebral infarct volume and expression of pSTAT3 (Ser727) in cortical neurons in ischemic penumbra by immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results Compared with sham operation group,the neurological function score was decreased,the infarct volume was increased,and the expression of pSTAT3 (Ser727) was up-regulated in groups I/R and EA (P < 0.05).Compared with I/R group,neurological function score was increased,the infarct volume was decreased,and the expression of pSTAT3 (Ser727) was up-regulated in group EA (P < 0.05).Conclusion EA pretreatment reduces focal cerebral I/R injury through up-regulating pSTAT3 expression in cortical neurons in rats.
