Objective To understand the current cognition status of stroke rehabilitation nursing knowledge in young nurses of the department of neurology.Methods Self-designed questionnaires were used for investigating 273 young nurses between 20 and 30 years old of the department of neurology of 4 tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou.Results The current status of stroke rehabilitation nursing knowledge of the nurses surveyed was generally at a low level.There were no significant differences among nurses with different education degrees,professional titles and whether their relatives suffered from stroke.However,there were significant differences among nurses with different professional lives and whether the department carried out rehabilitation care.Conclusions Nursing educators and managers need to find a new way to improve the level of stroke rehabilitation nursing knowledge of the young nurses.

BACKGROUND:There are various commonly used interbody fusion methods, such as autologous bone,
al ograft bone and titanium-based posterior lumbar interbody fusion, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of a bioactive nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 fusion cage in posterior lumbar interbody fusion for the treatment of lumbar disease.
METHODS:A retrospective case analysis was conducted on 16 cases treated with posterior lumbar interbody
fusion at the Department of Orthopedic, the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from July 2010 to December 2011, and al the patients were implanted with nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 biological activity fusion cage.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up for 10-24 months, and the lumbar pain was significant improved, the lumbar visual analogue score, lumbar Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and Oswestry disability index score were significantly improved during the final fol ow-up period (P<0.05). No internal fixation loosing or broken observed in al the patients during final fol ow-up, and al the patients obtained bone
fusion without nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 fusion cage displacement or subsidence. The results indicate that nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 fusion cage for the treatment of posterior lumbar interbody fusion can
reconstruct the lumbar stability and provide immediate stability after implantation, and has good biological activity.

Objective To study the chest radiographic appearances of the non-tuberculous mycobacterial(NTM) pulmonary infection in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods Ten patients with AIDS and NTM underwent chest X-ray radiography and 7 patients performed high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan. Chest radiographic features of NTM in patients with AIDS were retrospectively analyzed. Results The chest radiograph showed bilateral pulmonary involvement in 6 cases and single lung involvement in 4 cases (3 cases in the right, 1 case in the left). Patchy air space consolidation (6 cases), large consolidation (5 cases), cavitation (5 cases), small nodules (3 cases),military nodules (2 cases), linear opacity ( 1 cases) were demonstrated on radiography. On HRCT, air space consolidation (7 cases), small nodules (6 cases), large consolidation (5 cases) with cavitation and cylindric bronchiectasis after the absorption of consolidation, enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes (4 cases), ground-glass opacities (3 cases), military nodules and "tree-in-bud" sign (2 case), pleural effusion ( 1 case), pericardial effusion ( 1 case) and fibrotic band ( 1 case) were found. Conclusion The most common radiographic appearances of NTM in patients with AIDS are bilateral small nodules, large consolidation with cavitation and cylindric bronchiectasis, enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of ginsenoside Rg1 ,ginsenoside Re and ginsenoside Rb1 in Xueluotong capsules. Methods:A column of Waters Symmetry C18 ( 250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm) at the temperature of 35 ℃ was used to separate the target components, the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water with gradient elution, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml ·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 203 nm and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:The linear range of ginsenoside Rg1 was 0. 055-2. 732 μg(r=0. 9998), and the average recovery was 107. 23% with RSD of 1. 17%(n=6). The linear range of ginsenoside Re was 0. 341-8. 542 μg(r=0. 9999), and the average recovery was 101. 63% with RSD of 3. 52%(n=6). The linear range of gin-senoside Rb1 was 0. 717-14. 336 μg(r=0. 9997), and the average recovery was 100. 63% with the RSD of 3. 79%(n=6). Conclu-sion:The method is simple, accurate and reliable, which can be used for the quality control of Xueluotong capsules.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Xinfeng Capsule (XFC) on pulmonary function and related mechanism in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) rats.

METHODSThe rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal control (NC), model control (MC) groups, methotrexate (MTX), tripterygium glycosides tablet (TPT) and Xinfeng capsule (XFC) treatment groups. The adjuvant-induced arthritis model was established by intracutaneous injection of 0.1 mL Freund ' s complete adjuvant in the right paw of rats; the drugs were given 19 d after model establishment. The toe swelling degree (E), arthritis index (AI), pulmonary function, peripheral blood Treg levels, pathological changes of lung tissue and expression of Foxp3, TGF-β1, Smad3, Smad7 proteins in lung tissue were measured 30 d after drug administration.

RESULTSCompared to NC group, the levels of E, AI, alveolitis score, TGF-β1 and Smad3 were significantly increased (P <0.05 or P <0.01); maximum expiratory flow 25% of vital capacity (FEF25),50% maximal expiratory vital capacity flow (FEF50), maximum expiratory flow at 75% of vital capacity (FEF75), maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMF), force peak expiratory flow (PEF), CD4+ CD25+ Treg, Foxp3 and Smad7 were significantly decreased in MC group (P <0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared to MC group,the expression of E, AI, TGF-β1 and Smad3 were reduced, while FEF50, FEF75, MMF, PEF, Treg, Foxp3 and Smad7 were elevated in XFC group (P <0.05 or P <0.01). Compared to XFC group, the level of body mass,FEF25,FEF50, FEF75, MMF and Treg were lower in MTX and TPT groups (P <0.05 or P <0.01).

CONCLUSIONThere are inflamed joints and reduced pulmonary function in rats of adjuvant-induced arthritis. XFC can inhibit paw edema degrees, reduce arthritis response, and improve pulmonary function, which is associated with up-regulating expression of Treg and Foxp3, down-regulating the expression of TGF-β1 and adjusting TGF-β1/Smads signal pathway.
