SIRT1 (Sirtuin type 1 ), a member of histone deacetylase, dependents on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ( NAD + ). It involves in the covalent modification of histones, participates in tumor development and progression through transcription, translation and post-translational modification and so on. Therefore, the expression of SIRT1 in tumor cells or abnormal function could be one of the important mechanisms of tumor development, and may become a new potential therapeutic target for neoplasms.

Objective To investigate the effects of low doses 147Pm internal irradiation against hereditary mutation in mouse cells induced by subsequent high dose of 147Pm irradiation. Methods The frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (mn-PCE) micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes (mn-NCE) and chromosome aberration in bone marrow and peripheral blood cells were observed. Results The frequencies of nm-PCE、mn-NCE and chromosome aberration induced by high dose of 147Pm irradiation showed a highly significant increase over the control at 24 h after irradiation (P<0.05 or 0.01).However, the frequencies in cells pre-exposed to 0.37-37 Bq/g of 147Pm were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or 0.01),as compared with those of the group without pre-exposure. Conclusion Low doses of in vivo 147Pm β-irradiation can induce a radioadaptive response of the lymphocytes and erythroblasts.The induction of the adaptive response has a wide dose range.The mn-PCE and mn-NCE are more sensitive indexes for revealing biological effects of radiation as compared with the chromosome aberration.

Objective To illustrate the different levels of fundamental nursing skills of undergradu ate nursing students,and explore the characteristics of the assessment method.Methods With descriptive statistics,one-way analysis of variance after rank transformation,and multiple comparison (Scheffe),we made an analysis of 1 340 assessment records of fundamental nursing skills.Results The score distributions of all the skills,but the skill of measuring vital signs,conformed to Gaussian distribution.The overall distribution shaped in peak state and was negative skewness,showing bias towards 70 to 90 score levels.The score levels of 60 and 70 were significantly higher than that of their surrounding levels.The scores of aspiration of sputum,oxygenic therapy and aseptic technique were the lowest,while the scores of closed bed making and intramuscular injection were the highest.Conclusions The score distribution of fundamental nursing skills is rational,which shows the methods of teaching and assessment are generally believable.But the individual bias cannot be ignored.The majority of students get high grades.Different levels do exist among different skills because of abstract or concrete characteristics and principal matters.

Objective To study the expression of S1RT1 in breast cancer with diabetes mellitus,and analyze the correlation between SIRT1 and p53,and analyze blood lipid differences in breast cancer tissue without diabetes mellitus and breast cancer tissue with diabetes mellitus,and to research its relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus and assesse the clinical value.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expressions of SIRT1 and p53 in 30 breast cancer patients with diabetes mellitus and 30 breast cancer patients without diabetic mellitus,and their correlation was analyzed.Results The positive rate of SIRT1 in breast cancer tissue with diabetes mellitus was significantly lower than that in breast cancer tissue without diabetic mellitus(P <0.05).In SIRT1 positive tissue,the expression level of p53 was significantly higher than that in SIRT1 negative tissue(P < 0.05 ).The expression of SIRT1 was significantly positively related with p53 expression in breast cancer tissue with diabetes( P < 0.05).BMI and TG in breast cancer group with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher than those in breast cancer group without diabetic mellitus( P < 0.05 ),but HDL was lower( P =0.05 ).However,CHO and LDL had no significant differences in both groups( P >0.05 ).Conclusions SIRT1 is up-regulated in breast cancer,but the posltive rate of SIRT1 in breast cancer tissue with diabetes mellitus is significantly lower than that in breast cancer tissue without diabetic,and is associated with the progression of diabetes mellitus.SIRT1 protein is significantly positively correlated to p53 expression and it may be involved in the adjustment process of blood lipids,SIRT1 might be a new biological target in diabetes and breast cancer.

Objective To discuss the clinical feature of chronic pain of aged people and strategies and effect of its self-management as well as their relationship.Methods Investigation with questionnaires wag carried out in 243 aged people who were above 65 years old to understand the clinical feature of chronic pain and strategies of its self-management.The results underwent analysis.Results Non-narcotic analgesics,physical exercise,cold and heat therapy and spiritual activity were used most frequently in selfmanagement of pain.No statistical difference existed in the use of self-management strategies between people in different age groups.Effect of self-management strategies was negatively correlated with degree of pain,interrupting with daily life and anxiety,but Wag positively correlated with self-efficacy score.Conclusions Aged people ale willing to attemp various strategies to cope with chronic pain.We should pain attention to the standardization of physical exercise,confrontation of anxiety and improvement of self-efficacy to improve the effect of self-management.

Objective To establish a scientific and normative process for using physical restraint,and to increase the safety and efficiency of physical restraint.Methods On the basis of the previous studies,combined with the literature and clinical,we drafted a process framework of using physical restraint and then conducted consultation from 11 experts by using the Delphi technique.Results After 2 rounds of consulting,an evaluation form,consisted of 4 first-dimensions and 11 second-dimensions,and a process,consisted of 4 first-dimensions and 26 second-dimensions,were established.Kendall's W were 0.37 and 0.38 respectively,and expert authority coefficient was 0.84.Conclusions The results from the study is valid,feasible and reliable,however it still need to be further perfected.

Purpose To investigate the effect of resveratrol on acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice.Methods Acute lung injury (ALI) was induced by LPS in mice. The changes of lung airway inspiratory resistance (Ri), expiratory resistance (Re), and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were observed with pulmonary function test apparatus. Brochoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected, and the concentrations of interleukin 1β (IL-1β)、interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factory α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. The ratio of wet to dry weight was calculated to assess lung edema. Pulmonary vascular permeability was examined with injection Evans blue to judge the destructive extent of alveolar epithelial cell and endothelial. Pathological section was made, and the histopathological change was observed with light microscope.Results Resveratrol can inhibit the elevation of Ri and Re, and the descent of Cdyn. Simultaneously, resveratrol reduced the concentration of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α,as well as the wet to dry weight ratio and the pulmonary vascular permeability significantly. Furthermore, it also could attenuate the lung injury on histopathology.Conclusion The results show that pretreatment with resveratrol has a protective effect on ALI induced by LPS. The ultimate inhibiting and release of inflammatory factors were involved in the mechanism of the effects.

Objective To observe the effects of citalopram and physical therapy on poststroke depression(PSD).Methods72 patients with PSD were randomly divided into medicine group(n=36)and control group(n=36).The patients in the control group were treated only with physical therapy and the patients in the medicine group were treated with Citalopram and physical therapy.All patients were assessed with Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale(ZSDS)and Modified Barthel index(MBI)before and after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment,the Zung score in both groups decreased significantly(P<0.01).Meanwhile,the medicine group showed significantly less depression than the control group(P<0.05).The score of MBI was also significantly increased after treatment(P<0.01)in both group,but there was no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05).ConclusionCitalopram combined with physical therapy is effective on PSD.
