Objective To investigate the role of epithelial cell apoptosis in the stress-related changes of intestinal mucosa barrier following traumatic brain injury. Methods Sixty-four health male Wistar rats were divided randomly into two groups: (1) traumatic brain injury model group (n =32) ,in which rats suffered from traumatic brain injury by Feeney's method; (2) control group ( n = 32) , rats suffered from sham operation. Each group were divided into four subgroups according 6 h, 12 h,24 h, and 48 h after operation ( n = 8, for each subgroup ). Ileum tissue were taken to observed the damage of the intestinal mucosa under microscope and electronmicroscope. The early apoptosis rate of intestinal mucosal cells were analyzed with Annexin Ⅴ-PI double stained and detected by flow cytometry. Results The intestinal mucosa were damaged and the intercellular space of intestinal mucosal were found increased in traumatic brain injury group. The early apoptosis rate of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells was significant increased in traumatic brain injury group than that in control group [6 h: (13.5 ±3.7)% vs (6.1 ± 1.7)%, P＜0.05; 12 h:(66.1±6.0)% vs (5.2±1.1)%, P＜0.05; 24 h:(39.8±4.8)% vs (8.4±2.6)%, P＜0.05;48 h: (7.5 ±1.3)% vs (6.6 ±0.5)%]. Conclusion The increased early apoptosis rate of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells might contribute to the stress-damage of the intestinal mucosa barrier in early stage of traumatic brain injury.

Objective To investigate the application of ~(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose hybrid PET/CT (~(18)F-FDG hPET/CT) imaging in clinical staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Seventy two consecutive patients with NSCLC undergoing ~(18)F-FDG hPET/CT before radiotherapy were analyzed. The results were compared with previous CT scan and conventional clinical staging. The patients were followed-up for at least 6 months. Results Among the 72 patients, the staging grade was changed in 27 patients due to the result of ~(18)F-FDG hPET/CT in whom with 20 patients having their grade raised and 7 lowered. Radical treatment was changed to palliative treatment in view of a raise of staging grade. Because of distant metastasis was detected by ~(18)F-FDG hPET/CT imaging, 14 patients received palliative treatment. Compared with CT, 47 more lymph nodes and 26 distant metastases were found with ~(18)F-FDG hPET/CT imaging, and the patients in question received radiotherapy and palliative treatment accordingly. Conclusion ~(18)F-FDG hPET/CT imaging, by changing the clinical staging in 37.5% (27/72) NSCLC patients, has impact on treatment strategy and treatment planning of radiotherapy in NSCLC patients. Patients were frequently spared unnecessary treatment, and management was more appropriately targeted.

Objective To evaluate the combination influence of the factors such as the ways to putting into the water, addition with multienzyme and temperature of water on the cleaning effect of ultrasonic cleaning of the curettage-aspiration device for uterine cavity. So that we can find out the best condition for cleaning, and provide the scientific evidence for the formulation of the norm of ultrasonic cleaning of the curettage-aspiration device for uterine cavity. Methods According to the factorial design with triple pathogens, three factors were chosen to complete the ultrasonic cleaning of the curettage-aspiration device for uterine cavity, including the sequence of putting into water, addition with multienzyme or not and the temperature of cleaning. The cleaning effect was detected by adopting the eye-measurement or with the hemoglobin reagent. Results The sequence of putting into water first or next had little influence on ultrasonic cleaning;the effect of addition with multienzyme was more significant than without it;the effect of water temperature at 35 centi-degree or 40 centi-degree had no difference. Conclusions It had good benefits for the cleaning effect when the ultrasonic cleaning of the curettage-aspiration device for uterine cavity added multienzyme to the cleansing solution, while the sequence of putting into water first or next and the temperature of water at 35 centi-degree or 40centi-degree shows little influence on the cleaning effect.

Objective To investigate the current status of health education among nursing undergraduates,to analyze the existing problems and to bring up corresponding strategies for improving the health education ability for nursing undergraduates.Methods Totally 381 nursing undergraduates were recruited and investigated with a self-designed questionnaire.Aspects of students' cognition of health education,influencing factors of health education and the implementation of health education in clinic were investigated.Data were processed using SPSS 12.0 and percentages were calculated.Resuits 98.75％ students understood the importance of heath education in nursing work.However,systemic training courses of health education for nursing undergraduates were insufficient in both colleges and hospitals.Meanwhile,clinical teachers' ability of health education was limited.Only 15.59％students provided health education for patients independently.Conclusions Nursing colleges and practicing hospitals should strengthen health education consciousness of nursing undergraduates,enhance faculty construction and should set up related courses to train the health education skills.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of intra-operative implantation of I125 seeds to treat advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 28 patients who underwent intra-operative implantation of I125 between January 2009 and June 2010 to treat advanced pancreatic cancer.Patients who received conservative treatment (n =136) at the same period were used as the control group.Results The mean tumor diameter was (5.7 ± 1.7) cm.The average number of implanted seeds were 50.There were no patients who suffered from pancreatic fistula or post-operative bleeding,and no patient died from the treatment.Twenty-five patients were regularly followed up,and the follow-up rate was 85.7％.The survival rates at one month,half a year and one year were 100％,70.8％ and 26.9％,respectively.The average survival time was (9.9 ± 1.4) months.The survival data were significantly higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Intra-operative implantation of I125 seeds was an efficacious treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Objective To explore CTA characteristics of diabetic lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD) with different Fontaine stage.Methods Data of 100 patients clinically diagnosed as diabetic LEAD and underwent lower limbs arterial CTA were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were classified into grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ according to Fontaine classifications.Lower extremities arteries were graded according to CTA.Stenosis degree of lower extremity arteries in different Fontaine stages were analyzed.Results The grades of lower extremity arteries stenosis in different Fontaine stages had statistically significant difference (x2 =186.24,P＜0.001).There had statistically significant difference of stenosis degree in different lower extremity arterial levels among different Fontaine stages (superior genicular artery:x2 =69.24,P＜0.001;inferior genicular artery:x2 =111.59,P＜0.001;dorsalis pedis and arteriae plantaris:x2 =94.15,P＜0.001).Grades of stenosis between superior genicular arteries and inferior genicular arteries,superior genicular arteries and dorsalis pedis and arteriae plantaris had statistically significant differences (Z=12.59,P＜0.001;Z=10.47,P＜0.001).There was statistically significant difference of stenosis grades between inferior genicular artery and dorsalis pedis and arteriae plantaris (Z=12.66,P＜0.001).Occluded inferior genicular arteries usually associated with collateral vessels.Conclusion CTA can reflect the clinical stages of LEAD,which is the ideal method in diagnosing of diabetic LEAD.

A method for the determination of 9 phenoxy acid herbicides in soil by solid phase extraction and LC/MS/MS with matrix correction was developed. The sample was treated by ultrasonic extraction twice with 1. 5% formic acid in acetonitrile. The extract was cleaned up with NH2 solid phase extraction column. A C18 column with formic acid in pure water/methanol mixture as the mobile phase was used under gradient elution. Mass spectral acquisition was done in negative ion mode by multiple reactions monitoring ( MRM ) . Two transitions per compound were used to provide qualitative and quantitative analysis. There were good linear relationships in the range of 2-250 μg/L for 9 phenoxy acid herbicides. The correlation coefficients were in the range of 0 . 9927-0 . 9972 . The method detection limits were in the range of 1 . 66-3 . 82 μg/kg . The average recoveries at three spiked levels ( 10 , 40 , 200 μg/kg ) ranged from 85 . 3% to 110 . 0% with the relative standard deviations (RSD) of 3. 2%-12%.

Objective To study the value of MSCT angiography(MSCTA)in diagnosing lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD) of diabetic foot ulcers and analyze the possible influential factors on the onset of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods 80 diabetic patients for MSCTA examination were divided into two groups by whether combined with foot ulcers.The tibial artery calcification score (TACS) and peripheral arterial occlusion index (PAOI) were calculated and the possible risk factors of diabetic foot ulcer were analyzed.Results There were 30 cases suffered with foot ulcer and 18 cases occurred lower extremity arterial occlusion (LEAO), the average PAOI was 4.40(3.60, 5.75).Non-foot ulcer cases were 50, and there were 8 cases suffered with LEAO, the average PAOI was 2.05(1.43, 3.10).Compared to patients without foot ulcer, patients with foot ulcer were older, had a lower BMI, and were more likely to have a history of tobacco use.They usually had higher TACS and severer peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).Stepwise regression model showed that foot ulcers had significant correlation with TACS and PAOI.Partial correlation analysis showed TACS was independent from PAOI in impacting diabetic foot ulcer.Conclusion MSCTA has important clinical value in diagnosing and valuing diabetic foot ulcer LEAD.Age, smoking history,BMI,TACS and PAOI affect the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers, and TACS and PAOI are the independent risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers.

Objective To explore the protective effect of pre-operation administration of nicorandil on myocardial injury and recurrent angina in patients with unstable angina pectoris who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 91 patients with unstable angina pectoris were admitted for PCI and randomly divided into 2 groups who either received nicorandil(5 mg tid)or not for 7 days prior to the procedure and routine dose of nicorandil (5mg tid) after it. The concentrations of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I(cTnI) were compared between two groups before PCI and 6 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours after PCI;Recurent angina and major adverse cardiac events,includ-ing death,re-infarction and stroke at 6 months after the procedure were also chased and compared. Results In total, 75 pa-tients who were successfully undergone elective PC1 were finally enrolled,among whom 37 cases were in nicorandil group and 38 cases were in routine group. Post-procedural levels of CK-MB and cTnI significantly reduced in the nicorandil group between 6~24 h (P<0.05) compared those in routine group.At 6 months follow-up,symptoms of recurrent angina after PCI were significantly relieved in the nicorandil group compared with that in routine group (P < 0.05).Conclusion nicorandil can limit the PCI-induced myocardial injury and relieve the symptoms of recurrent angina after PCI in patients with unstable angina.
