Objective To measure the changes of enamel diameter and depth after Er :YAG laser irradiation .Methods 80 enam-el samples were randomly divided into two supergroups according to irradiation time (10 s and 20 s) ,each supergroup was randomly divided into 5 groups according to different irradiation energy (0 .5W ,1 .0W ,1 .5W ,2 .0W and 2 .5W) ,separately underwent the Er :YAG laser irradiation with different time and different energy .Observed and measured the diameter and depth of each pit with a stereoscopic microscope after irradiation .Results After 10 seconds irradiation ,the differences of enamel diameter between illumi-nate power 0 .5W and 1 .0W ,0 .5W and 1 .5W ,0 .5W and 2 .0W ,0 .5W and 2 .5W were statistically significant(P<0 .05) ,the differences of enamel depth between two groups were statistically significant (P<0 .05) eliminating 1 .5W and 2 .0W .After 20 sec-onds irradiation ,the differences of enamel diameter between illuminate power 0 .5W and 1 .0W ,1 .0W and 2 .0W ,1 .0W and 2 .5W were statistically significant(P<0 .05) ,the differences of enamel depth were the same to 10 seconds irradiation .Conclusion The diameter and depth of enamel were changed under the irradiation of different time and energy ,which was helpful to clinical treat-ment of enamel caries .

OBJECTIVE: To avoid the infection induced by the clinical application of total parenteral nutrition solution( TPN) . METHODS: The experience of quality control and etiological examination in the preparation and application of TPN for 62 patients in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: The key to reduce the incidence of infection in the preparation and application of TPN is to keep the infection source under control.

Objective: Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channel modulates vascular smooth muscle tone. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that salt, one of the factors which significantly influence blood pressure (BP), can regulate BKCa activity and then elevate blood pressure. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6 weeks were randomized into high salt diet group (HS) and control group, fed with high salt diet (containing 5% NaCl) and standard rat chow (containing 0.4% NaCl) respectively for 16 weeks. Tail systolic blood pressure (SBP), body weight (BW) and 24-hour urinary output were tested every 4 weeks. Content of urinary Na+ was detected using flame spectrophotometrical method. At the end of 16 weeks, all the rats were killed, the mesenteric arteries were obtained, and single mesenteric smooth muscle cells were isolated at once. The resting membrane potential (Em), the total potassium currents and the currents after perfusion with TEA solution of the cells were all recorded by whole cell patch clamp. The transcriptions of BKCa channel α and β1 subunits in mesenteric arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of each group were calculated by real-time RT-PCR. Results: There was no difference in SBP and BW at each stage between control group and HS group; the urinary Na+ level in HS animals was elevated significantly after 4 weeks. The negative values of Em in HS group VSMCs were reduced compared with those in the control group. Transcriptions of β1 subunit of BKCa channels were decreased in HS group, but α subunit transcriptions did not differ between the two groups. Whole cell potassium currents did not differ between HS and control groups, but BK Ca currents of HS group VSMCs were lower than those of control group ones. Conclusion: Even without elevating SBP, salt-loading can still modulate the expression and activity of BKCa channel in the mesenteric arterial VSMC and elevate vascular tone.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment programs in children with Takayasu arteritis (TA) in order to improve awareness of the disease. Methods A retrospective study of hospi-talized children with TA in our hospital from Jan. 1999 to Dec. 2012 was performed. Results Between the 15 patients with TA, the ratio of male to female was 1∶2. The onset was from 14 months to 15 years old, with average age at (10 ±4) years old. It is according to (the European League against Rheumatism/the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society (EULAR/PRES) criteria for the diagnosis of TA. The most common clinical manifestations are hypertension, which occurred in 13 cases(87%), weak pulse or pulseless in 11 cases (73%), and heart failure in 10 cases (67%). About two-thirds of patients were diagnosed when the onset of heart failure occurred. The most common clinical type was type Ⅱ, which occrred in 9 cases (60%). Antihypertensive drugs, oral steroid and congestive heart failure controlling were the main treatment. Three patients with positive purifiedproteinderivative (PPD) test received anti-TB treatment. Three patients had vascular bypass surgery, one patient had percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Conclusion TA may be life-threatening and progressive. Many patients are with advanced disease at the time of treatment, so the prognosis is generally poor. Early recognition is necessary to initiate appropriate therapy. The disease should be considered in patients with unexplained arterial hypertension or unexplained inflammatory syndromes without local signs.

Objective Good culture sense of patient safety among the hospital staff is in close relation with the improvement of medical quality and patient safety .The article was to provide evidence for the culture management of patient safety and related stud -ies.Methods We searched the main databases Pub Med , Chinese Bio-medical Literature Database , CNKI, Wan-Fang database with the key word safety environment,safety culture,safety approach,evaluate,assessment,situation analysis,analy-sis. Results 50 literatures were collected.The assessment tools could be divided into self-made questionnaire (13, 26%), im-proved questionnaire (16, 32%), chineselized foreign questionnaire (21, 42%).The main researchers (84%) and study objects (66%) were nurses.48 (96%) investigation and descriptive study were about patient safety culture;only 2 documents made compari-son before and after the patient safety culture cultivation . Conclusion The research of patient safety culture in our country is rising currently, while the development of assessment tools is still at exploration stage .The width and depth of related research should be fur-ther broadened .

Objective To study the cognition of scientific research integrity and know status of scientific research standard of nurses who had research experience so as to provide some evidence for nursing research integrity management.Methods A total of 296 nurses whose working years was more than 5years and who had delivered scientific research papers in 13 Grade A hospitals from 7 cities were investigated by self-designed questionnaires.Results More than 64.0％ nurses showed not appropriate or inappro-priate for those irresponsible research behavior.64.5％ nurses did not agree with the researchers to referring the research object situation for others,97.0％ nurses believed the research achievement should be objective.While nurses did not know the research standards well:only 56.1％ nurses knew the standard of submitting manuscript,and 20.6％ nurses knew research data collection,preservation and usage.Conclusions It is necessary to enhance the management of nursing research integrity through education and propaganda of the research standards,improving the scientific management system,increasing the research support for nurse scientific so as to promote the nursing research integrity.
