Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(26):12-14
Objective To study the efficacy of the electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) in the oral irrigation of patients with oral trachea cannula. Methods 60 patients with oral trachea cannula were ran-domly divided into the experimental group and the control group, the experimental group received oral irri-gation with EOW,while the control group used normal saline. The oral irrigation efficacy was compared be-tween the two groups. Results In the experimental group,the bacterial clearance rate was 95.21% ,while the control one's was 37.19%, the stomatodysodia rate of the experimental group was 3.33%, the control one's was 86.60%, the oral fungus infection rate of the experimental group was 0% , the control one's was 43.33%, the incidence of dental ulcer of the experimental group was 10.00%, the control one's was 3.33%. Significant difference existed in bacterial clearance rate and the stomatedysodia rate between the two groups. Conclusions Oral irrigation with EOW in oral trachea cannula patients can decrease or con-trol the field planting of bacterium in pharynx oralis and stomatodysodia, and prevent pulmonary infection.
2.Research advances of baby body plethysmography
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(16):1261-1264
Baby body plethysmography is a well-established technique of lung function determination,which is widely used to access the respiratory development and obstructive airway diseases by precisely measuring tidal breathing,functional residual capacity,and air way resistance.Babies who accept lung function measurements in the baby body plethysmography are under quiet state of spontaneous breathing without any subjective initiative,which results in multiplexed data acquisition,high precision and good repeatability.Clinical application of baby body plethysmography differs in different countries and areas,with the most intensive application in the German-speaking countries.In China,the clinical use of baby body plethysmography still remains in primary stage.Great progress has been achieved in its clinical use during the past 20 years,but there is still a lack of consensus on normal reference values or equations with which to interpret results,which has caused some trouble to diagnosis and identification of respiratory disease.In order to identify the nature and severity of airway disease,it is essential to understand the normal range of plethysmographic values that may occur in healthy infants of similar age,gender and body size.

At the urgent request of Artemisia annua (ART) planting, the paper gets artemisinin content (ARTC) of ART in China from literatures. The paper analyses the relationships between ARTC and ecological factors by statistical analytical methods. The paper also analyses the climate suitable rank distribution of ARTC in China by ArcGIS. The results display that first, ARTC is significantly different in China, that ART from the south regions ARTC is higher. Greatest north parts of China have not suitable climate for the growing of ART and the ARTC is lower than 0.2%, when ART grows above the 34th degree of northern latitude. ARTC is higher and ART grows well, when ART grows under the 34 degrees N and grows at the areas between 100 degrees E and 120 degrees E. Second, subtropical zone is the best suitable climate zone for the growing of ART. ART grows well and ARTC is higher than 0.5%, when ART grows in the subtropical zone. Third, temperature, sunshine duration and rainfall are the main ecological factors that affect the growth of ART and the accumulation of ARTC. That the year temperature between 13.9 degrees C and 22 degrees C, sunshine duration between 853 h and 1507 h, rainfall between 814 mm and 1518 mm, is the best climate for the accumulation of ARTC. Temperature between 13 degrees C and 29 degrees C, rainfall between 600 mm and 1300 mm is the best climate for the growth of ART. Fourth, in northwest of Guangxi, eastern of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, south Chongqing and west Hunan Province, there are suitable climate for the growth of Artemisia and for the accumulating of ARTC. There are also some suitable climate areas for the growing of artemisia in the south of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of VEGF and NF-κB/p65 in the two subtypes of pleomorphic adenoma. Methods Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect the expression of VEGF and NF-κB/p65 in pleomorphic adenoma of 60 patients including 31 cases of cell-rich and 29 cases of stroma-rich as well as normal salivary gland tissues of 30 cases from adjacent tumor. Results VEGF positive staining was mainly found in tumor epithelia,while NF-κB/p65 positive was detected in gland alveolus cell and ductal epithelia. The Mean optical density( MA ) values of VEGF were 955.67 ± 305.79,149. 13 ± 60. 85 and 53.46 ± 9. 66, respectively, in cell-rich adenoma, stroma-rich adenoma and normal control. The difference in VEGF expression between the groups was significant (Ps < 0. 05 ) . The MA values of NF-κB/p65 were 529. 80 ± 164. 81,43.40 ±5.46 and 6. 84 ± 1.91 ,respectively,in three groups mentioned above. The difference in NF-κB/p65 expression between the groups was significant ( Ps < 0. 05 ). In pleomorphic adenoma, the expression level of NF-κB/p65 was positively correlated with VEGF. Conclusion ( 1 ) The angiogenesis and proliferation potential of carcinomas increased with the cell component in pleomorphic adenoma. Stroma-poor adenoma is more frequently subjected to malignant transformation than stroma-rich adenoma. (2) NF-κB/p65 may have effects on angiogenesis by activating VEGF. Detecting the expression of VEGF and NF-κB/p65 may be helpful to predict the biological behavior of pleomorphic adenoma and prognosis of the patients, which couldprovide useful information for future targeted therapy of pleomorphic adenoma.
