Objective To prospectively evaluate the risk factors for the decline of residual renal function (RRF) in new peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods A total of 84 new PD patients in our PD center were included in this study.Clinical comprehensive assessment were made,and regression models was established to analyze the relationship between the decline of RRF and clinical indicators,which included the rate of peritonitis,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,urine volume,24 h urinary protein,serum albumin,C-reactive protein(CRP),history of diabetes mellitus,and the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) drugs,cardiac functional grading,sodium and water retention and biochemical indicators.The primary outcome was defined as two consecutive urine volume ≤ 100 ml/24 h.Results The mean follow-up time was (11.7± 1.1) months,primary outcome occurred in 20 patients,accounting for 23.8％,and their average period progressed to the primary outcome was (10.5±2.0) months.The 20 patients had higher ultrafiltration volume [(551.6±328.2) ml vs (294.1±288.0) ml,P=0.001],higher systolic blood pressure [(145.2±16.5) mmHg vs (136.0±13.8) mmHg,P=0.016],worse cardiac functional grading [(1.7±0.8) vs (1.3±0.4),P=0.000],more serious water-sodium retention [(1.0±0.7) vs (0.6±0.5),P=0.012],higher peritonitis rates (35.0％ vs 4.7％,P=0.000),lower Kt/V [(1.7 ± 0.4) vs (2.0 ± 0.3),P=0.003],lower hemoglobin levels [(89.0± 14.9) g/L vs (99.5± 17.8) g/L,P=0.020],higher C-reactive protein levels [(19.4±34.4) mg/L vs(8.7±12.6) mg/L,P=0.017],higher Scr levels [(1 004.6±291.1) μmol/L vs (753.1±254.3) μ mol/L,P=0.000],lower serum calcium levels[(1.86±0.1) mmol/UL vs (2.02±0.2) mmol/L,P=0.000],higher serum phosphorus [(2.1±0.6) mmol/L vs (1.6±0.4) mmol/L,P=0.001] and higher calcium phosphorus product [(3.8±1.1) mmol2/L2 vs (3.1±0.8) mmol2/L2,P=0.010] as compared with those of the patients without the primary outcome.Based on the results of multivariable Cox regression analysis,ultrafiltration volume,cardiac functional grading,peritonitis,Kt/V and serum phosphorus level contributed to the decline of RRF significantly.Conclusion The higher Kt/V in PD patients plays a protective role,the higher ultrafiltration volume,the worse heart function,the more peritonitis rate and higher serum phosphorus predict more rapid declination of RRF.

Objective To study the expression of interleukin-18(IL-18)during the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis in rat kidney after unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)and the effect of Shenfu injection.Methods The obstructive nephropathy model was established by unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).Fifty。Six rats were randomly assigned into shame operation group,operation group(UUOgroup)and treatment group(UUO+Shenfu).After 7 and 14 days,the renal function and histopathological changes were evaluated.Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression of IL-18 in renal tissue.Results In comparison with the shame opeartion group,the operation group showed obvious renal interstitial fibrosis.And the expression of IL-18 increased signifieantly(P<0.05).Compared with the operation group,the degree of interstitial fibrosis was obviously ameliorated in the treatment group,and the expression of IL-18 decreased significandy after treatment for 7 days(P<0.05),and decreased more after treatment for 14 days(P<0.05).Conclusions Shenfu injection may protect renal function by decreasing the expression of IL-18 in the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the professional cognitive level and its influencing factors of fresh nursing students in Yunnan,in order to provide a basis for nursing education workers, improve the situation and put forward a series of interventions.MethodsA questionnaire survey was done among 623 fresh nursing students in 5 universities of Yunnan province,and the data were collected and analyzed using the descriptive analysis and chi-square test of software SPSS22.0.Results There were 313 peoples choose nursing for easy future employment in qualified 599 questionnaires. The professional cognitive level in Yunnan was not comprehensive compared with other provinces,and the ratio of the nursing mission and etc were lower than other provinces with statistical significance(P < 0.05). However,there were 50 people(40.98%)would like to choose other major of 122 people who come from other provinces,which was higher than that of Yunnan (34.98%). There were 324 students(63.11%)were proud of nursing,327 students(63.70%)think nursing have a good development prospect who received the freshmen entrance education,which were higher than 35.62% and 42.47% of who could not receive the freshmen entrance education,with a statistical significance(P < 0.05). ConclusionSchool should reinforce the new students entrance education and professional publicity to cultivate the professional emotion of nursing freshmen.

Objective To investigate the effect of a novel lymphotoxin with selectively binding to p55 tumor necrosis factor receptor (p55TNFR) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats in order to explore the mechanism.Methods A total of 40 SD rats were randomly (random number) assigned into four groups (n =10 in each),namely sham operation group (group A),I/R group (group B),wild type rhLTα treatment group (group C),and p55TNFR selective rhLTα (rhLTα-Q107E) treatment group (group D).After I/R model rats were established,various therapeutic agents or saline were given by continuous intravenous infusion for 24 h via a micropump.After 24 hours of treatment,serum myocardial zymogram,such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK),as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were determined.Myocardial infarction size (MIS) was measured by nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT) staining.Results Compared to sham operation group,MIS,AST,LDH,CK,MDA were increased,while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased.However,all the effects were significantly reversed by treatment with rhLTα-Q107E (P ＜ 0.05) but not rhLTα (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The rhLTα-Q107E plays a role in the protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by the mechanism of scavenging oxygen free radicals and increasing the activity of endogenous antioxidant system.

Objective To prepare a new thrombus model by fluid model method , which is suitable for evaluation of mechanical thrombectomy devices for acute stroke.Methods The fluid model adopted the Chandler loop theory , while the static model adopted conventional method.Mechanical properties of thrombi prepared by fluid model and static model were measured by manual elongation test ( 15 samples in each group) and catheter injection test (15 samples in each group ).Histological structure was compared among the above thrombus models ( 5 samples in each group ) and specimens of five patients with stroke by hematoxylin-eosin staining method.Then, thrombi in fluid model were utilized to establish embolization of vessels in swine model ( two pigs ) for evaluation of radiopacity.Independent-Sample test was performed to compare the maximum tensile length of two methods , and Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the rate of thrombus fragmentation after catheter injection test.Results The maximum tensile length of two models were (4.28 ±0.23) and (3.16 ±0.13) cm, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (t=16.38, P<0.01);After catheter injection, the fracture rates of thrombus were 13% (2/15) and 60%(9/15), which were also statistically significant (P<0.05).As to histological structure, thrombi prepared by fluid model showed mixed thrombus structure , which similar to thrombi of stroke patients , But thrombi prepared by static model were replete with erythrocytes under the microscope .A total of eight vessels ( lingual arteries and superficial cervical arteries ) in two swines were successfully occlusive ( TIMI 0 or 1 ) , and sufficient radiopacity of each injected thrombus was observed.Conclusions The thrombi prepared by fluid model not only have good mechanical stability and sufficient radiopacity , but their histological structure is similar to thromboemboli retrieved from cerebral arteries of patients with acute stroke.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of occupational diseases in Gansu Province, China in 2010-2017, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of occupational diseases. Methods: The cluster sampling method was adopted to make statistical analysis of 1339 cases of occupational disease reported by "occupational disease and occupational health information monitoring system" in Gansu province from 2010 to 2017, to investigate the diseases, regions and industries of occupational diseases in June 2018. Results: A total of 1339 cases of occupational diseases (39 types, 8 classes) were diagnosed and reposed in 2010-2017. The three most frequent diseases were pneumoconiosis (87.53%, 1172/1339), occupational poisonings (5.83%, 78/1339), and occupational ear, nose, and throat (ENT) diseases (3.14%, 42/1339). The cases of silicosis accounted for 54.61% (640/1172) of all cases of pneumoconiosis, the second was coalworker pneumoconiosis, which accounted for 38.57% (452/1172). In the cases of occupational poisonings, 32.05% (25/78) suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. Patients with occupational diseases were reported in 14 districts of Gansu, mostly in Lanzhou (27.52%, 347/1261), Jinchang (16.57%, 209/1261), and Baiyin (14.20%, 179/1261). The reported cases are mainly concentrated in mining (71.56%, 468/654) and manufacturing (21.87%, 143/654), the types of state-owned economy (55.63%, 692/1244) and private economy (33.68%, 419/1244), large (43.41%, 540/1244) and small enterprises (35.21%, 438/1244) in 2010-2017 in Gansu. Conclusion The pneumoconiosis caused by silicious and coal dust and the occupational poisonings caused by carbon monoxide seem to be the main occupational hazards in Gansu province. Occupational diseases occur in all districts of Guangzhou and in various industries. The state-owned economy and private sector, large and small enterprises should be the focuses of occupational health supervision.
