Objective: To study the effect of arginine (Arg) on serum NO, NOS activities and thymus T cells in mice under heat stress. Method: NIH-mice were randomly divided into 3 groups and given water L-Arg 1.5 mg/g bw and L-Arg 2.5 mg/g bw for 14 d respectively. There were 42 mice in each group and were under heat stress (41?0.5)℃ for 120 min except 6 mice not stressed as control. Blood was taken at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after heat stress from 6 mice each time. The quantity of NO, activities of NOS and the change of thymus T cells in serum were measured. Results: At normal temperature or under heat stress, the quantity of NO, activities of NOS, the concentration of CD3+, CD4+ cells and CD4+/CD8+ of the groups with L-Arg were higher than those of the groups without L-Arg, but the concentration of CD8+ was contrary. The difference between two groups with L-Arg was not significant . Conclusion: The immunity of mice was destroyed under heat stress for 4-8 h. The quantity of NO, activities of NOS, and the number of T cells and CD4+/CD8+in serum could be improved after given L-Arg.

Objective To research whether double antiplatelet drug combined with pantoprazole can reduce digestive tract damage,or aggravate cardiovascular system side effect.Methods 270 patients diagnosed as ischemic stroke received double antiplatelet drug were randomly divided into two groups.The treatment group received panto-prazole,the control group did not took any gastric drug.The side effect of the digestive and cardiovascular system was observed.Results 268 patients were followed up for 90 days,and digestive system side effect of the treatment group (136 cases)included indigestion in 26 cases(19.11%),stool occult blood(+)in 11 cases(8.08%),melena in 8 cases(5.89%),hematemesis in 0 case,and the control group (132 cases)included indigestion in 42 cases (31.82%),stool occult blood(+)in 23 cases(17.42%),melena in 19 cases(14.39%),hematemesis in 4 cases. There were significant differences between the two groups(χ2 =6.66,4.56,11.2 and 4.18,all P <0.05).Cardiovas-cular system side effect of the treatment group included palpitation or chest distress or chest pain in 4 cases (3.68%),myocardial ischemia diagnosed by electrocardiogram in 4 cases(2.94%),myocardial infarction and died of cardiovascular disease in 0 case,and the control group included palpitation or chest distress or chest pain in 4 cases (3.00%),myocardial ischemia diagnosed by electrocardiogram in 3 cases(2.27%),myocardial infarction and died of cardiovascular disease in 0 case.There were no statistical differences between the two groups(χ2 =6.66 and 4.56, both P >0.05 ).Conclusion Double antiplatelet drug combined with pantoprazole had a positive significance in reducing the digestive tract damage of ischemic stroke patients,and didn't increase the incidence of cardiovascular sys-tem side effect.

Objective To explore the effect of newly-designed gowns for critical patients. Methods Two hundred critical patients hospitalized for more than 3 days in the intensive care unit of our hospital during February 2013 to February 2015 were divided into the control group and observation group equally according to their odd or even registration number. The control group wore conventional dresses for patients (including a shirt and a pant) and the patients in the latter group were newly-designed gowns. The two groups were compared in terms of comfort, nursing manpower, nursing stuff and security. Result The observation group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of comfort, nursing manpower, nursing stuff and security (P<0.05). Conclusions The newly-designed gowns for critical patients can improve the comfort degree and save nursing manpower and stuff. It allows convenience in treatment and nursing.

Objective To Pulse oximetry saturation has been wildly used clinically.It has been reported that pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform (POP) reflected the peripheral tissue perfusion.In this study,we parameterized POP,observed the value of POP parameters in normal adults,and established the normal reference value range.Methods A multi-center prospective descriptive study.Total of 1 019 adult volunteers with normovolemia from 7 cities were enrolled in this study.Sex,age,height,weight and pulse oximetry data in awake and spontaneous breathing under in quiet conditions in the room temperature were collected.POP parameters and perfusion index were analyzed using MATLAB 2012a software.The normal reference value ranges of POP parameters,including the amplitude of POP (Amp) and the area under the curve of POP (AUC),were formulated.Results Statistical differences of POP parameters were detected between men and women in the normal adult.The 95% confidence reference value of POP parameters in normal population was as follows:Amp (104.8-2298.7) PVA and AUC (3265.8-6028.5) PVPGin total,Amp (129.4-2433.6) PVA and AUC (3319.0-5862.2) PVPG in male;Amp (89.5-2138.2) PVA and AUC (3163.9-5929.9) PVPG in female.Conclusions POP,including the amplitude of POP (Amp) and the area under the curve of POP (AUC),had normal reference value ranges in normal adults.
