Objective To evaluate application effectiveness of quality control circle (QCC)in increasing the face mask wearing rate of hospitalized pulmonary tuberculosis (TB)patients.Methods Nine nurses in department of tu-berculosis formed a ‘circle’,the theme of ‘improving the face mask wearing rate of hospitalized pulmonary TB pa-tients’was established,rectification measures were formulated and implemented,face mask wearing rates of pa-tients before and after implementing QCC activities were analyzed statistically.Results The face mask wearing rate of hospitalized pulmonary TB patients after implementing QCC activities was higher than that before implementing QCC activities (87.50% [147/168]vs 65.54%[116/177],P <0.05).The abilities of every ‘circle member’have been improved in the following aspects:problem-solving skills,sense of responsibility,communication skills,self-confidence,team working,enthusiasm,quality-control techniques,and cooperation abilities,the total average score increased from 23.78 before implementing QCC to 33.78 after implementing QCC.Conclusion QCC activities can not only improve the face mask wearing rate of hospitalized pulmonary TB patients,but also enhance circle mem-bers’quality-control skills and team spirit.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of autologous drainage blood reinfusion in total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Methods Computers were used to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and VIP. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of autologous drainage blood reinfusion and vacuum suction without reinfusion after TKA were collected. And the results were analyzed by using the software RevMan5.1. Results Eight RCTs met the criteria for meta-analysis. Use of autologous drainage blood reinfusion significantly reduced the average amount of units of homologous blood transfusion, the length of hospital stay, and the number of patients requiring homologous blood transfusion. The rates of DVT formation and incision infection did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusions Autologous drainage blood reinfusion is a safe, effective procedure with less blood transfusion and medical cost. It can lower volume of allogeneic blood transfusion , shorten length of hospital stay, and avoid occurrence of complications.

As a kind of cytoskeleton protein,vimentin is a major member of intermediate filament family.Vimentin is found mainly in mesenchymal cells,and its expression and phosphorylation are regulated by many factors.In the past,vimentin was revealed as a scaffold maintaining cellular integrity,and recent studies shed lights on the evidence that vimentin played many important roles in cellular adhension,growth,apoptosis,cell signaling as well as inflammatory response.This article summarizes the recent progress of vimentin about its expression and function.Abstract:SUMM ARY As a kind of cytoskeleton protein,vimentin is a majormember of intermed iate filament fam i-ly.V imentin is found mainly in mesenchymal cells,and its expression and phosphorylation are regulated by many factors.In the past,vimentin was revealed as a scaffold maintaining cellular integrity,and re-cent stud ies shed lights on the evidence that vimentin played many important roles in cellular adhension,growth,apoptosis,cell signaling as well as inflammatory response.This article summarizes the recent progress of vimentin about its expression and function.

Objective If IL-2 and IFN-? are united,perhaps we may see a more significant antitumor effect.A fusion gene of IL-2 and IFN-? was designed and constructed by DNA engineering.Methods CEA promotor、IL-2cDNA and IFN-?cDNA were obtained by PCR and RT-PCR.SDS-PAGE was used to examine the results;pcDNA-IL-2、pcDNA-IFN-?、pCEA-IL-2/ IFN-?、pEGFP-IL-2/ IFN-? were transfected to CEA high expression cell line(Lovo)by use of liposome.The fusion protein expression was examined by fluorescence microscope and Western blotting.Results IL-2/ IFN-? fusion gene can be expressed in tumor cells.Its expression is more obvious in CEA high expressed cells(Lovo),and can be located in cell plasma.Conclusion The fusion gene can be expressed in plasma of CEA high expressed cell lines.It may have a new anti-tumor effects.

The incidence of malnutrition among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) constantly increases despite the development of health care and dialysis techniques.New nutritional targets for CKD patients upon maintenance treatment have been developed.Before dialysis,evidences have shown that a long-term nutritional care plan,with a control of protein intake,can effectively correct metabolic disorders including proteinuria and acidosis.During the maintenance dialysis,the optimal protein and energy intakes have been recently challenged.The new classification of nutritional disorders in CKD patients may help the easily identification of protein-energy wasting.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the function of activator protein-1 (AP-1) in proliferation and collagen synthesis of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) in neonatal rats induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and to explore the mechanism of Qiangxin Decoction (QXD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, in reversing cardiac fibrosis. METHODS: CFs derived from neonatal rats were cultured with enzymatic dissociation, and fibrosis of the CFs was induced by TNF-alpha. The CFs were divided into normal control group, untreated group, 5% QXD-containing serum group, 10% QXD-containing serum group and 20% QXD-containing serum group. After 24-hour culture of QXD-containing serum, AP-1 mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction; proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs were assayed by thiazolyl blue assay (MTT) and measured by hydroxyproline respectively, in order to determine the effect of different dosage decoction on the proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs. RESULTS: After 24-hour stimulation of TNF-alpha in CFs, compared with those in normal control group, the expression of AP-1 mRNA and cardiac fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis increased significantly (P<0.05). However, Qiangxin Decoction could reduce the expression of AP-1 mRNA and decreased the proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Qiangxin Decoction can inhibit proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs induced by TNF-alpha, and reverse cardiac fibrosis, which may be related to its down-regulation of the expression of AP-1.
