1.Qualitative study on the experience of self-perceived burden in AIDS patients
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(21):3284-3286
Objective To discuss the experience of self -perceived burden(SPB)in AIDS patients and to provide evidence for promoting physical and mental health.Methods Interviews were conducted among 10 AIDS patients,and the data were analyzed with the Colaizzi 's method.Results 3 themes from the experience of self -perceived burden in AIDS patients were identified:self -accusation and remorse,fear and insecurity,loss of dignity. Conclusion The research results showed feelings,difficulties and needs of patients in the process of disease.Nurses should think about the influence of SPB during the nursing intervention and evaluation.Nurses should alleviate the problems faced by patients in order to increase the health level,reduce the psychological pressure and increase the medication compliance of the patients in the long -term treatment.It can be used in clinical nursing.

Objective To study the effects of acute hypervolemi c hemodilution (AHH) on the coagulation and cardiac function in elderly surgical p atients. Method Sixty surgical patients, aged 60 to70, ASA Ⅰ~ Ⅱ, were randomly divided into three groups (n=20 for each group). 6% HES 50 0~1000ml was infused in a rate of 20ml/min during vasodilation with isoflurane i nhalation (group 1), nitroglycerin (group 2), or nicardipine (group3) with the a id of an intravenous injection pump. The blood coagulation and cardiac functions were observed during hemodilution. Results No significant diff erence was found among the three groups on cardiac function and coagulation func tion during 500ml 6% HES infusion. When the volume of infusion was over 1000ml, the parameters of cardiac function increased and those of coagulation decrease d significantly (P

Objective To examine the effects of different n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid(PUFA) ratio in gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in breast cancer cell lines. Methods After MCF-7(ER + )and MDA-MB-231(ER - )cells were treated respectively with n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio (1-10), Ki-67 expression in nuclear by immunocytochemistry, connexin 26 and 43 expression in cytoplasm and membrane by Western blotting, and GJIC by scrape-loading dye transfer method were performed. Results Immunocytochemistry showed that pure n-6 and 10∶1 n-6/n-3 increased Ki-67 expression (P
6.Effects of different n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio on lipid metabolic gene expression in breast cancer cell lines

Objective To study the effects of different n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio on the lipid metabolic gene expression and MAPK activity in breast cancer cell lines. Methods MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, or the mixture of n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid at ratio of 1∶1, 5∶1, 10∶1. The cell proliferation capacity was detected by MTT, the expression of lipid metabolic gene (COX-2, 5-LOX, PPAR? and PPAR?) were assayed by RT-PCR, MAPK phosphorylation levels were detected by Western blotting. Results COX-2 mRNA expression was not found in MCF-7 cells. As compared to normal control group, pure n-6 and 10∶1 n-6/n-3 promoted cell proliferation, up-regulated the expression of COX-2, 5-LOX, PPAR? and PPAR? mRNA , increased MAPK phosphorylation levels in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (P

Objective To observe the effects of soybean isoflavone in attenuating trans fatty acids-induced athero-sclerosis in rats .Methods The rats were randomly divided into normal diet group、trans fatty acids group、soybean isoflavone group and trans fatty acids +soybean isoflavone group .Research kit was used to test the amounts of TG , HDL,LDL and IL-6,TNF-αin rats'blood.Bovine aortic endothelial cells were cultured and divided into control group,trans fatty acids group and trans fatty acids group +soybean isoflavone group .Western blot was performed to test the NF-κB phosphorylation ,as well as to determine ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 protein contents in bovine aortic endo-thelial cells.Results Compared with normal diet group ,the amounts of TG,LDL,IL-6,TNF-αincreased evidently (P<0.05), whereas the amounts of HDL decreased evidently (P<0.05) in the rats'blood of trans fatty acids group . After the soybean isoflavone intervened ,the amounts of TG,LDL,IL-6,TNF-αall decreased (P<0.01), meanwhile the amounts of HDL increased significantly (P<0.01).Soybean isoflavone inhibited NF-κB phosphorylation induced by trans fatty acids ( P<0.01) .The high expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 induced by trans fatty acids was de-creased by soybean isoflavone when comparing with those in the control group ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusions Soybean isoflavone has a role in attenuating trans fatty acids trans fatty acids-induced atherosclerosis in rats .

Objective To investigate the expression of Survivin gene and the relationship between Survivin and genesis and development of cervical cancer. Methods The expression of Survivin gene in tissues of 40 patients with cervical cancer, 38 patients with cervical hyperplasia and 10 cases of normal cervical were detected by immunohistochemical SP method, and the relationships between Survivin and the clinical pathological factors were analyzed. Results The expression positive rate of Survivin in cervical cancer tissues (60 %) was significantly higher than that in cervical hyperplasia and normal cervical tissues (42.1 % and 0, respectively), and their differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of Survivin was related with histological grade and the clinical stages of cervical cancer.Conclusion Survivin is related to the genesis and development of cervical cancer.

To investigate the effect of menopause on chemokine receptor CXCR2 expression on monocyte, 21 postmenopausal and 20 premenopausal women were enrolled in the present study. Fasting venous blood was collected, and plasma estrogen levels were determined with radio immunoassay. Monocytes were separated from peripheral blood with gelatin method. Protein expression of chemokine receptor was assayed with flow cytometry and mRNA concentration was measured with RT PCR. The results showed that the levels of plasma estrogen decreased, whereas protein and mRNA expression of chemokine receptor CXCR2 increased after menopause. The plasma estrogen levels were negatively correlated with chemokine receptor CXCR2 expression in monocytes. These data suggested that the changes in CXCR2 on monocytes might contribute to,at least partially,the increased risk of developing coronary heart disease associated with estrogen secretory changes.

Objective To explore the metabolism of micronutri ents related to dark adaptation of radar operators through nutritional intervent ion. Methods A total of 34 male radar operators aged between 18 ~29 years old were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The c ontrol group were on normal diet, and the experimental group received the supple ment of VA, Zn and Se in additional to normal diet. The experiment lasted 4 week s. The levels of serum VA, Zn and Se were measured before and after the experime nt. Results The levels of serum VA, Zn and Se in the experime ntal group were significantly higher than that in the control group after the experiment (P<0.01). Conclusion The supplement of VA, Zn an d Se for 4 weeks may elevate, the levels of serum VA, Zn and Se significantly (reached or surpassed normal levels) and suggests that VA, Zn and Se su pplementation may effectively enhance the dark adaptation of radar operators.
