BACKGROUND: It is discovered by administrating different emetics to vomiting animals, like cats, that there are a large amount of Fos positive neuronal expressions in the arc region from nucleus of solitary tract, lateral tegmentum to ventrolateral area. And it has been viewed that the arc region from area postrema, nucleus of solitary tract to ventrolateral reticular structure is the main emetic region. Whether do the non-vomiting animals reflect in response or not after emetic injection?OBJECTIVE: To observe the distribution of Fos positive neurons in relevant emetic regions of brain and spinal cord in rats after abdominal injection of emetic, cisplatin.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment based on animals.SETTING: Neural Physiological Research Room of Life Science College in Hebei Normal University and Physiological Room of Basic Medicine Institute in Hebei Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Neural Physiological Research Room of Life Science College in Hebei Normal University and Physiological Room of Basic Medicine Institute in Hebei Medical University from March to August 2003. Twelve SD male rats were employed, body weighted varied from 220 to 250 g, of clean-grade. They were randomized into experimental group of 6 rats and the control of 6 rats.INTERVENTIONS: In experimental group, the emetic, cisplatin, was injected abdominally 10 mg/kg. In the control, the physiological saline of same dose was injected. Afterwards, the activity changes in rats were observed at room temperature, quiet and light-avoided environment. Six hours later, the brain tissue was collected for frozen continuous sectioning. Immunohistochemical staining method was used to observe the distribution of Fos positive neurons in brainstem and forebrain nuclei and to count positive cell.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Behavior observation in rats after emetic injection. ② Counts of Fos positive cell in relevant regions of brain in rats.RESULTS: Twelve rats all entered result analysis. ① In 20 minutes after injection, the rats in both groups were in tranquilizing state, lying prone with body curled, almost without any movement. In 60 minutes after injection, the rats in the control were recovered to normal, free of eating or drinking. The rats in experimental group were in prone-lying state with body curled. They rose up or shook the heads occasionally, and they breathed fast and uneven.In 2 hours after injection, in experimental group, the rats were still in abdominal prone tightly in the cage, with heads lowed and irregular shaking of noses. In 5 hours, the rats in experimental group began standing up and moving, with normal breathing, but they still did not eat or drink. ② Fos positive neurons in solitary tract, area postrema and lateral parabrachial nucleus and paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and arc nucleus in hypothalamus (64.3 ±9.6, 83.4 ±15.0, 148.8 ±19.9, 80. 2 ± 11.8, 20.7 ±3.8, 86. 6 ± 10.8) were remarkably higher than those in the control(56. 2 ±6.3,73.5±9.9,136.9±17.8,66. 1±10.3,17.3±3.4,78.8±10.5).CONCLUSION: Emetics induce discomforts in internal organs of rats, due to which, there probably exist emetic regions similar to vomiting animals in central neural system. But it is probably lack of vomiting-related adjusting mechanism. Emetics irritate the increase of Fos positive neurons in relevant regions in the brain of rat, which suggests that there exist relevant neural chemical pathways similar to nausea in the brain of non-vomiting rats.

Objective:To study relationship between B10 cells and the incidence of autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice. Methods:20 NOD/LT female mice of 6 week old were cultured in normal culture to 30 weeks,and the mice were divided into two groups according the mice’s blood glucose,serum creatinine and body weight detected at their 30 weeks old. IL-10 levels in spleen tissues of the two groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We used flow cytometry to detect the proportion of B10 cells in the spleen of mice in the two groups. NOD/LT mice were randomly divided into control group and B10 group. The B10 cells were inoculated in B10 groups,their blood glucose were detected when they were 10,15,20,25 and 30 weeks old. Results: The blood glucose and serum creatinine levels were significantly higher in the group than that in the autoimmune diabetes group (P< 0. 05),and the body weight was significantly lower than that in the autoimmune diabetes group (P<0. 05). The level of IL-10 in the spleen tissues of the autoimmune diabetes mice was significantly higher than that in the non autoimmune diabetes group. The content of B10 cells in the spleen of the mice with autoimmune diabetes mellitus was significantly higher than that in the non autoimmune diabetes group. When mice at the age of 10,15 weeks,the incidence of autoimmune diabetes in B10 group was significantly lower than that in the control group,but the incidence of autoimmune diabetes in B10 group was significantly higher than that in control group at 20,25 and 30 weeks. Conclusion:The over accumulation of B10 cells may be one of the reasons for the further development of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.

To explore the effect of the co-photo-immobilization of Recombinant Human Interferon-r (IFN-gamma) and Recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-alpha) on the Hela cell cultivated in vitro. Co-immobilize the photoactive IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha on the polystyrene membrane; Cultivate the Hela cell on the cell culture polystyrene plate surface and set up the cultivation of the photo-immobilization IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha, Photo-immobilization IFN-gamma, nature (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha). After 48 hours, the inhibition effect against Hela cells was studied in vitro by SEM and flow cytometry. It showed that the co-immobilization IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha has a more obvious inhibition effect on the Hela cell. And IFN-gamma can cooperate with TNF-alpha obviously.

Objective To probe into the clinical nurse′s ethical cognition of Kazakh Medicine Hospital of Altay Region in Xinjiang,so as to provide basis for improving the level of nursing ethical cognition in minority area.Methods The self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 51 clinical nurses of Kazakh Medicine Hospital of Altay Region in Xinjiang,and the result of investigation was used nonparametric statistics method and was analyzed by software SPSS 16.0.Results The overall level of ethical cognition in 51 clinical nurses maintained low level,with lowest score 30 and highest score 51 and median score 37;there were 21 nurses acquired score range from 30-36,and 30 nurses acquired over 36.The differences were statistically significant in comprehensive ethical cognition score of different departments′nurses (H=16.916,P <0.05).Conclusions The overall level of ethical cognition in 51 clinical nurses was low,so we should pay attention to its education,encourage multi-channel learning,strengthen ethics training,establish ethical norms,narrow the gap among each departments′nurses ethical cognition,improve the overall quality of nurses,and provide quality service for patients.
