Objective To investigate the effect of cluster nursing in the prevention of aspiration pneumonia in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 72 patients with acute cerebral infarction from January 2014 to January 2014 were recruited and divided into 2 groups with 36 cases each by random digits table method. The patients in control group were given diet nursing, nursing of sputum ejection, education of disease related knowledge and another routine nursing methods. While cluster nursing such as the application of swallowing function training, feeding management, homemade angle measuring instrument for position management were conducted on the patients in intervention group. The difference of incidence of aspiration pneumonia, improvement of swallowing function, and patient satisfaction between two groups were compared. Results The incidence of aspiration pneumonia was 5.56%(2/36) in intervention group and 25.00%(9/36) in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.258, P=0.022).The swallowing function ratings after treatment in intervention group was also obviously better than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.943, P=0.036). The patient satisfaction was 94.44%(34/36) in intervention group and 63.89%(23/36) in control group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=17.526,P=0.000). Conclusions Cluster nursing can effectively reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia in acute cerebral infarction patients, and help to improve the patients' swallowing function and relationship between nurses and patients, has certain clinical application value.

Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) gene expression is positively correlated with insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unclear if Mfn2 is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and lipid homeostasis. In order to investigate the specific functions of Mfn2 in glycometabolism and lipid homeostasis in BALB/c mice, a RNA interference technique-mediated hydrodynamic injection was developed, in which short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were used to inhibit the Mfn2 expression in vivo. Seventy-two mice were randomly divided into two groups: the Mfn2 reduction group (Mfn2/shRNA) and the negative control group (NC). Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests were used to evaluate glycometabolism and insulin sensitivity. D-(3-(3)H) glucose or (3)H(2)O was injected into the tail vein or intraperitoneally to facilitate the calculation of the rate of hepatic glucose production and fatty acid synthesis in vivo. The results showed that, in Mfn2/shRNA mice, the liver Mfn2 protein was significantly decreased, and fasting blood glucose concentrations were increased by approximately 48%, when compared with the NC mice. In parallel with the changes in fasting glucose levels, hepatic glucose production was significantly elevated in Mfn2/shRNA mice. When insulin was administrated, these mice exhibited impaired insulin tolerance. It was also found that the reduction of Mfn2 markedly decreased the rate of fatty acid synthesis in the liver, and the Mfn2/shRNA mice exhibited hypertriglyceridema. Taken together, our results indicate that Mfn2 plays an important role in maintaining glucose and lipid homeostasis, and in the development of insulin resistance in vivo.

The effects of intravenous injection of purifed EC on the rectal tempera-ture in normal rabbits and febrile rabbits induced by ET and concentrations of Fe~(2+), Zn~(2+),Cu~(2+) in serum were observed. The results showed that EC could lower the rectal tempera-ture in normal rabbits and also the increased rectal temperature in febrile rabbits. Mean-while, EC could inhibit the formation of the second phase of ET-fever. But EC had noeffect on the changed concentrations of FC~(2+), Zn~(2+), Cu~(2+) in serum caused by ET. Thesefindings suggest that EC may particiate in the regulation of body temperarure under physio-logical and febrile conditions, but not of acute phase response produced by ET.

Objective To investigate effects of rosiglitazone on glucose transport-4(GLUT4) protein translocation in skeletal muscle of insulin resistance rats. Methods 38 male sprague dawley rats were randomized to received high fat or standard chow diet for 8 weeks, feeding high-fat diet to induce insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of rats. 25 high-fat-fed rats were randomly treated with rosiglitazone(1mg/kg), standard chow diet, or placebo(high-fat diet) for 4 weeks. Plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin, weight and viscero-fat in all rats were measured. The GLUT4 level in the cell membrane of isolated rats skeletal muscle was detected by western blotting analysis. Results Insulin-stimulated translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane in skeletal muscles of high fat-fed rats was significantly lower than that of standard chow-fed rats(52 72%,P
