Objective: To observe the activation of microglia and the changing rule of inflammatory cytokine as IL-6, IL-10 and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in experimental rabbits after spinal cord ischemia reperfusion (SCIR) injury in order to provide theoretical basis for post-conditioning time. Methods: Rabbit SCIR injury model was established by thoracic aorta balloon occlusion. 54 New Zealand male adult white rabbits were divided into 9 groups: Sham group (the animals received balloon implantation without occlusion), SCIR-0h group (reperfusion was conducted at 0 hour of spinal cord ischemia), SCIR-1h, -2h, -3h, -8h, -24h,-48h and -72h groups. n=6 in each group. The number of normal and apoptosis neurons, the levels of Iba-1, IL-6, IL-10 and NF-κB in spinal tissue were examined and compared among different groups respectively. Results: The number of normal neuron was decreasing with the extended reperfusion time, TUNEL-positive neuron began to increasing in SCIR-8h group and the peak was reached in SCIR-24h group. The expression of Iba-1 began to elevating in SCIR-2h group and the peak was obtained in SCIR-8h group; NF-κB began to rising in SCIR-3h group and the peak was observed in SCIR-8h group; both IL-6 and IL-10 arrived the peak in SCIR-24h group. The expressions of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were positively related to Iba-1 level. Conclusion: Microglia activation had dynamic changes in experimental SCIR rabbits and the expression levels of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were positively to microglia activation; post-conditioning time at front and back to microglia activation may reduce neuron injury.

Objective: To explore sarcoplasmic reticulum ryanodine receptor2 (RyR 2) expression and calcium releasing function in chronic heart failure (CHF) rabbits and to study the impact of long term valsartan treatment in relevant animals. Methods: HF model was established by volume overloading with pressure overloading in experimental rabbits. 27 rabbits were divided into 3 groups: Sham group, HF group and HF+valsartan group. n=9 in each group and the animals were treated for 7 weeks. Left ventricular structure, hemodynamic parameters, expression and functional changes of myocardiocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR 2 were observed and compared among different groups. Results: Compared with Sham group, HF group had increased left ventricular mess index (LVMI), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and decreased left ventricular shortening fraction, LVEF, all P<0.05. Compared with HF group, HF+valsartan group showed decreased LVMI, LVEDP and increased left ventricular shortening fraction, LVEF, all P<0.05. Sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR 2 expression and calcium releasing function were lower in HF group than Sham group, P<0.05; while they were both higher in HF+valsartan group than HF group, P<0.05. Conclusion: Long term application of valsartan could improve the cardiac function which might be related to increased myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR 2 expression and calcium releasing function in experimental CHF rabbits.

Objective To investigate the effect of daily quality checklist on intensive care unit (ICU) the incidence of severe patients with hospital associated infection (HAI). Methods A historical control study was conducted. In Tianjin Fifth Center Hospital from June 2016 to May 2017, 286 severe patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) and using ICU daily quality checklist were assigned as the experimental group, and from June 2015 to May 2016, 291 severe patients who did not use the daily quality checklist were selected as the control group. In the control group, the routine treatment, nursing care and ward rounds were the daily ordinary work; in the experimental group, the severe disease ICU quality checklist system was strictly carried out, and every day the doctor and nurse on duty applied the checklist to assess and verify the medical quality given to the patient, including sedation, analgesia, MV, glycemic control, nutrition, etc 16 items. The incidences of ventilation associated pneumonia (VAP), catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), 28-day mortality, time of MV and the length of ICU stay were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the incidences of VAP, CRBSI and CAUTI of experimental group were obviously decreased (VAP: 1.78‰ vs. 5.09‰, CRBSI: 1.46‰vs. 5.21‰; CAUTI: 1.39‰ vs. 4.41‰, all P < 0.05), the time of MV and the length of ICU stay in experimental group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [the time of MV (days): 7.81±2.74 vs. 10.62±3.67, the length of ICU stay (days): 8.40±1.94 vs. 11.35±2.47, both P < 0.05]; there was a decreasing tendency of 28-day mortality in experimental group compared with that in control group [5.24% (15/286) vs. 6.19% (18/291)], but no statistical significant difference was seen (P > 0.05). Conclusion Implementation of daily quality checklist can effectively decrease the incidence of HAI in ICU patients, reduce the time of MV and the length of ICU stay.

The effects of black rice anthocyanidins (BRACs) on retinal damage induced by photochemical stress are not well known. In the present study, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed AIN-93M for 1 week, after which 80 rats were randomly divided into two groups and treated with (n = 40) or without BRACs (n = 40) for 15 days, respectively. After treatment, both groups were exposed to fluorescent light (3,000 +/- 200 lux; 25degrees C), and the protective effect of dietary BRACs were evaluated afterwards. Our results showed that dietary BRACs effectively prevented retinal photochemical damage and inhibited the retinal cells apoptosis induced by fluorescent light (p < 0.05). Moreover, dietary BRACs inhibited expression of AP-1 (c-fos/c-jun subunits), up-regulated NF-kappaB (p65) expression and phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha, and decreased Caspase-1 expression (p < 0.05). These results suggest that BRACs improve retinal damage produced by photochemical stress in rats via AP-1/NF-kappaB/Caspase-1 apoptotic mechanisms.
