Aim To explore the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ( NAC ) on β amyloid peptide 25 - 35 ( Aβ25-35 )-induced the increase of calpain activity and its possible mechanism. Methods The activity of cal-pain was induced by 20μmol·L-1 Aβ 25-35 in primary cortical neuron. Neurons were incubated in the absent or present Aβ25-35 , or pre-incubated NAC ( 10 mmol ·L-1 ) , then co-incubated with Aβ25-35 . The meas-urement of calpain activity, H2 O2 level and mitochon-drial membrane potential was performed on a micro-plate fluorometer. The ATP level was detected using a luciferin/luciferase based ATP assay kit. Results In Aβ25-35 treated group, the activity of calpain and H2 O2 was obviously higher than that in control group. How-ever, in neurons pre-incubated in NAC and then co-in-cubated in Aβ25-35 , the calpain activity and H2 O2 level were significantly decreased compared with that in Aβ25-35 group. Upon Aβ25-35 exposure for 12 h, corti-cal neurons showed a significant decrease in mitochon-drial membrane potential and ATP level when com-pared to the control group. Pre-treatment with NAC showed an increase in mitochondrial membrane poten-tial and ATP level as compared to neurons treated with Aβ25-35 alone for 12h. Conclusion This result sug-gests that NAC can attenuate calpain activity induced by Aβ25-35 through protecting mitochondria.

The course of preventive medication treatment was significantly decreased from 81h to 53h,33h,21h,respeetively.The reasons of their rationally utilizing antibiotics were significantly improved after intervention management.Conclusion Rational antibiotics utilization can be improved by intervention management during perioperative period of typeⅠinci-sion operations,which can achieve the goal of health department.

Aim To explore the possible protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on oligomeric Aβ1-42 induced apoptosis and its possible mechanism. Methods The damage was induced by oligomeric Aβ1-42 in primary cortical neurons. Cells were incubated in the absence or presence of Aβ, or co-incubated in sp600125 with Aβ, or pre-incubated in ginsenoside Rg1 then co-incu-bated in Aβ. The p-JNK, JNK, caspase-3 activity and TUNEL-positive cells were detected. Results In Aβ1-42 treated group, the ratio of p-JNK/JNK level was increased more than that in non-treated group for 15 min. However, in neurons preincubated with (2. 5, 5, 10 μmol·L-1 ) ginsenoside Rg1 and then co-incuba-ted with 5 μmol·L-1 oligomeric Aβ1-42 , the p-JNK/JNK ratio, caspase-3 activity and TUNEL positive neu-rons were significantly decreased compared with those of Aβ1-42 treated group. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg1 can attenuate the oligomeric Aβ1-42-induced apop-tosis by JNK pathway.

Objective To investigate the possible effect of ginsenoside Rg1 and oligo Aβ1-42 on PKA/CREB pathway.Methods The damage was induced by oligomeric Aβ1-42 in primary cortical neuron.Neurons were incubated with or without glutamate,or incubated in Aβ,or pre-incubated in Rg1 and then co-incubated in Aβ.The proteins of p-CREB,t-CREB,PKA Ⅱ α and BDNF were detected by Western blot.Results After the treatment with Oligo Aβ1-42 for 2 h,the p-CREB/t-CREB level induced by glutamate was obviously lower (P＜ 0.001).However,in neurons pre incubatedwith 2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L of ginsenoside Rg1 and then co-incubated with 5μmol/L of oligo Aβ1-42,the p-CREB/t-CREB induced by glutamate was significantly increased as compared with that of Aβ1-42 group (P＜0.05).Upon Aβ1-42 exposure for 2 h,cortical neurons showed a statistically significant increase in PKA Ⅱ α as compared to the control group (P ＜ 0.001).Pre-treatmentwith varying doses of ginsenoside Rg1 (2.5,5,10μmol/L) showed a decrease in PKA Ⅱ α as compared to neurons treated with Aβ1-42 alone for 2 h (P＜0.001).Furthermore,BDNF level significantly increased in Rgl-pretreated cells as compared to cells treated with Aβ1-42 alone for 24h (P＜0.05).Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg1 attenuates the oligo Aβ142 inhibition of PKA/CREB pathway.

METHODS:In retrospective study,309 cases of antineoplastics-induced ADR col-lected from a special hospital during Jan.-Dec. 2015 were summarized and analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Among 309 ADR cas-es,female (58.25％) was more than male (41.75％). The patients aged more than 40 years old occupied the highest proportion (78.64％). Main route of administration was intravenous dripping(94.82％). There were 225 cases of severe ADR(72.82％). To-tal 268 cases were improved after drug withdrawal or treatment(86.73％). A total of 24 kinds of antineoplastics were involved in 309 ADR cases;most of ADR were induced by docetaxel,followed by cisplatin,cyclophosphamide. Most common organs/system involved in ADR was hemopoietic system (64.24％),main clinical manifestation was myelosuppression. CONCLUSIONS:It is necessary to strengthen ADR monitoring,prevent,discover and treat antineoplastics-induced ADR timely,in order to reduce the harm to the patients and ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug treatment.

Objective To explore the establishment and implementation of nursing quality evaluation system in department of orthopedics. Methods Randomly 527 patients hospitalized in the department of orthopedics from December 2011 to December 2012 were selected and assigned into the control group, where a traditional evaluation system was used. Another 528 patients hospitalized from April 2013 to June 2014 as the observation group, where orthopedics specialist evaluation system was used. The two groups were compared in terms of hospital evaluation accuracy, observation accuracy, accuracy rate of specialist intervention complications, the qualified rate of nursing records and patient satisfaction. Result The hospital evaluation accuracy, observation accuracy, the accuracy rate of specialist intervention complications, the qualified rate of nursing records and patients satisfaction of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01) and there was no incidence in two groups. Conclusion The establishment of orthopaedic nurse quality evaluation system can make up the shortage of traditional evaluation system and improve the quality of the orthopaedic nursing management.

Objective To explore whether ginsenoside Rg1 can attenuate ?-amyloid peptide 25-35-induced Tau hyperphosporylation in rat embryo cortical neurons by regulating the activity of GSK-3? and PP2A. Methods Primary cultures of cortical neurons were prepared from the embryonic day 18?2 in Sprague-Dawley rats. The experimental groups were designed as follows:1.Neurons culture (control group); 2. Neurons exposed to 20?mol/L A?_ 25-35 for 12 hours (A?-model group); 3.Neurons exposed to 20?mol/L A?_ 25-35 and 10 mmol/L lithium chloride (LiCl), a specific inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3?(GSK-3?), for 12 hours (LiCl group); 4.Neurons exposed to 20?mol/L A?_ 25-35 for 12 hours in the presence of 24-hour pretreatment with ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1 pretreatment group) . Western blotting and immunocytochemical staining were used to detect the levels of Tau phosphorylation,total Tau and GSK-3? in cortical neurons. Non-radioimmunoassay was introduced to detect the activity of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Results In A?-model group, the levels of Tau protein phosphorylation in the sites of Ser 396 ,Ser 199/202 ,Thr 231 and total Tau were enhanced. Meanwhile, the expression of GSK-3? was also increased, but the activity of PP2A was unchanged. In LiCl group and Rg1 pretreatment group , the hyperposphorylations of Tau protein and total Tau and the expression of GSK-3? were markedly reduced compared to those of the A?-model group (P
