Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2008;15(5):442-444
Objective To investigate the immunoreactivity of platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) and its receptor at human and mouse neuromuscular junctions and to explore their regulatory effects on neuromuscular junctions. Methods Specific polyclonal antibodies were used to detect PDGF-A and PDGF a-receptor expression. Double immunohistochemistry for platelet-derived growth factor and the acetylcholine receptor was performed on normal human muscle biopsy specimens. Double fluorescence labeling was applied to detect immunoreactivity for PDGF-A, its receptor and acetylcholine receptors. Results PDGF-A and its receptor was closely co-localized with acetylcholine receptors at human and mouse neuromuscular junctions. Conclusion PDGF-A and its receptor concentrated at human and mouse neuromuscular junctions. PDGF might be involved in the interaction between the presynaptic and postsynaptic components, PDGF-A and its receptor might play regulatory role in signaling at neuromuscular junctions in normal muscle.

Effect of strophanthidin (Str) on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was investigated on isolated ventricular myocytes of guinea pig. Single ventricular myocytes were obtained by enzymatic dissociation technique. Fluorescent signal of [Ca2+]i was detected with confocal microscopy after incubation of cardiomycytes in Tyrode's solution with Fluo3-AM. The result showed that Str increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The ventricular myocytes began to round-up into a contracture state once the peak level of [Ca2+]i was achieved in the presence of Str (10 μmol·L-1), but remained no change in the presence of Str (1 and 100 nmol·L-1). Tetrodotoxin (TTX), nisodipine, and high concentration of extracellular Ca2+ changed the response of cardiomycytes to Str (1 and 100 nmol·L-1), but had no obvious effects on the action of Str (10 μmol·L-1). The elevation of [Ca2+]i caused by Str at all of the detected concentrations was partially antagonized by rynodine (10 μmol·L-1) or the removal of Ca2+ from Tyrode's solution. In Na+, K+-free Tyrode's solution, the response of cardiomycytes in [Ca2+]i elevation to Str (10 μmol·L-1) was attenuated, while remained no change to Str (1 and 100 nmol·L-1). TTX, nisodipine, and high concentration of extracellular Ca2+ changed the response of cardiomycytes to Str at all of the detected concentrations in Na+, K+-free Tyrode's solution. The study suggests that the elevation of [Ca2+]i by Str at the low (nomomolar) concentrations is partially mediated by the extracellular calcium influx through Ca2+ channel or a "slip mode conductance" of TTX sensitive Na+ channel. While the effect of Str at high (micromolar) concentrations was mainly due to the inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase. Directly triggering the release of intracellular Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) by Str may be also involved in the mechanism of [Ca2+]i elevation.

Objective To explore the path of subjective well-being, perceived social support and professional commitment among undergraduate nursing students. Methods A total of 207 undergraduate nursing students in a medical university in Anhui were recruited by cross-sectional survey method. Nursing students were investigated using General Information Questionnaire, Index of Well-being, Perceived Social Support Scale, Professional Commitment Scale during October to November 2016. SPSS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis, the data were analyzed by t test or variance analysis;Multivariate analysis was performed by multiple linear regression, and AMOS 17.0 was used for mediation analysis. Results The professional commitment score for nursing students was (88.01 ±10.94); perceived social support and subjective well-being were positively correlated with professional commitment (r=0.349-0.413, P=0.000); nursing role, pro-fessional interest, perceived social support, subjective well-being can positively predict professional commit-ment (β=0.157, 0.324, 0.210, 0.220), motivation can negatively predict professional commitment;path analysis showed that perceived social support played a partial mediating role between subjective well-being and pro-fessional commitment. Conclusion The professional commitment were related to subjective well-being and perceived social support, and perceived social support plays a partial mediating role between subjective well-being and professional commitment among nursing students. Nursing educators can understand social support and subjective well-being as the breakthrough point, which actively formulate intervention strategies to enhance the professional commitment, stabilize the development of nursing team, and improve the quality of nursing.
