A series of multinuclear diethylenetriamine ligands were synthesized and used as artificial nuclease enzyme model. Target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and ESI-MS. Preliminary studies on the cleavage of pUC19 DNA in the presence of metal complexes have also been performed and the results revealed that these complexes could act as powerful catalysts for the cleavage of pUC19 DNA after 48 h under physiological conditions. The hydrolytic cleavage mechanism of DNA plasmid by title compound was confirmed by T4 DNA ligase experiment.

ObjectiveTo explore influence of emergency nursing process reengineering on the satisfac-tion degree of patients, quality of rescue, rescue time and success rate of rescue. MethodsEvidence-based nursing method was used for emergency nursing process reengineering. The first 30 types of acute and sever diseases and the first 6 large emergency events in 2008 were chosen as the rescue objectves, and they received new emergency nursing process. Influence of classic emergency nursing process in 2007 was retrieved and revalued. The satisfaction degree of patients, quality of emergency nursing and success rate of emergency before and after process reengineering were compared and analyzed. ResultsCompared with that before process reengineering, the satisfaction degree of experts, doctors and nurses, and patients was higher, the quality of emergency nursing greatly improved, the rescue time was less, and the success rate of rescue was higher after process reengineering. ConclusionsEmergency nursing process reengineering was more hu-man oriented. It can rescue patients with acute and severe diseases with lest time, reduce disputes between nurses and patients. It is worthy of application in clinic and the process should be reengineered and im-proved constantly in the future.

Objective To explore the value of electrocardiagraphy and risk stratification in patients with early repolarization syndrome( ERS ). Methods All of 271 eases were divided into three groups: 7 ERS patients with cardiac events (syncope,clinical sudden death or incompleted, ventricular fibrillation and induced ventricular fibrillation during electrophysiological), 82 ERS patients without cardiac events, and 182 cases without heart disease who were matched for age and sex. QRS interval,Tpeak-Tend (TpTe) interval,corrected QT interval(QTc) and QT deviation degree (QTd) in surface ECG were compared among the three groups. Results TpTe interval in ERS patients with cardiac events was significantly longer than that in ERS patients without cardiac events and the control subjects [ ( 123.3±22.4 ) ms vs (87.7±15.5 ) ms; ( 123.3±22.4) ms vs (83.5±15.1 ) ms, P < 0.05 ]. There was no significant difference in QRS interval, QTc and QTd among three groups. Conclusion TpTe interval in ECG might be useful in risk stratification with ERS, but further research is needed.

Objective To report the clinical observation and nursing points for recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with MINE regimen. Methods Patients (46 cases) with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were given mental nursing,preparation and evaluation of the condition of patients before chemotherapy. Complications especially extravasation of infusion fluid should be prevented during chemotherapy and myelosuppression and long-term complications should be prevented after treatment. Results No patient died after treatment but several complications such as infection(14 cases), nausea and vomiting (grade Ⅰ~Ⅱ, 22 cases, grade Ⅲ,2 cases), alopecia (grade Ⅰ~Ⅱ, 27 cases), mucositis (grade Ⅰ~Ⅱ, 4 cases), liver function lesion (grade Ⅱ, 1 case) were found and improved after proper treatment. No nephrotoxicity and hemorrhagic cystitis were found. Conclusions Selective mental nursing,proper chemotherapy preparation,evaluation of patients' condidtion and positively prevention of chemotherapy-related complications could increase the chemotherapy effect of patients with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Objective To develop a simple and quick method for detection of stress-induced 5′transfer RNA( tRNA) halves.Methods Total RNA purified from stress induced cells was polyadenylated by poly( A) polymerase, and then degen-erate DNA probes were used to hybridize with 3′tRNA-halves of intact tRNAs,while RNase H specifically degraded the 3′tRNA-halves strand in tRNA-DNA probes hybrids.Using the RNase H digestion total RNA as templates, complementary DNA( cDNA) was synthesized by oligo ( dT) n-anchored primers.The primer of 5′tRNA halves and anchored-primer were used to amplify 5′tRNA halves by PCR.Results The results showed that the method of poly ( A )-tailed-RNase H digestion-RT-PCR could be successfully used to detect stress-induced 5′tRNA halves.Conclusion A simple and quick method for detection of 5′tRNA halves has been established,which is a user-friendly tool for 5′tRNA halves detection and function research.

Objective To observe the effect of δ-opioid receptor on proliferation and migration of human epidermal stem cells (hESCs) in vitro so as to offer treatment theory for skin injury.Methods hESCs from fresh foreskin tissues of normal young volunteers were isolated and cultured by enzyme digestion and differential adherence technique.Immunofluorescent staining was used to determine expression of integrin β1 and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) and flow cytometry was used for cell count.Second generation of cells were cultured for 5 consecutive days with keratinocyte serum-free medium (K-SFM) supplemented with 1 nmol/L (D-Ala2,K-Leu5)-enkephalin in Group A,with K-SFM supplemented with 1 nmol/L naltrindole and 1 nmol/L (D-Ala2,K-Leu5)-enkephalin in Group B,and with isolated K-SFM in Group C.Cellular division and proliferation were detected by MTT method.An in vitro 100 μm scratch-wound model was created on the confluent monolayer cells at 24 hours of incubation.Cells migrating from the wound margin were determined by inverted phase contrast microscope at 24,48,72,and 96 hours after wound formation,while wound closure rate was calculated at 72 hours.Results Primary cultured hESCs presented cobblestone-like shape after adherence growth,Immunofluorescence staining showed positive results for integrin β1 and CK19 and cell purity reached 95.6%.Moreover,MTT findings revealed proliferation of hESCs enhanced significantly in Group A,but lowered in Group B as compared to Group C (P < 0.05).hESCs migrated from the wound margin in all groups at 24 hours.However,more migrated cells were seen in Group A than in Group C and less in Group B than in Group C.Rate of wound closure was (89.5 ±0.7)% in Group A,(76.1 ±0.3)% in Group B,and (81.1 ±0.6)% in Group C at 72 hours,indicating significant differences among groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion Activation of δ-opioid receptor promotes the proliferation and migration of hESCs in vitro and may be implicated in wound healing.
