Objective:To find the threshold value concentration of cobalt causing myocardium cell damage.Methods:Cobalt in different concentrations (10 μg/ml,20 μg/ml,40 μg/ml,80 μg/ml) were added into the medium of cultured myocardium cell of rat (1~3 days old) in vitro.Then the activities of GOT,CK,LDH,HBDH in the medium were measured.Results:The results showed that when cobalt concentration was 10~20 μg/ml,the activity of GOT,CK,LDH,HBDH did not change markedly.But when cobalt concentration was more than 40 μg/ml,the activities of those enzymes increased significantly.Conclusion:The studies demonstrated that the activities of enzymes in the medium of cultured myocardium cell could increase with the difference of coblat concentrations.The threshold value concentration of cobalt which could cause myocardium cell damage is 40 μg/ml.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Caprini risk score-based care on the prevention of venous thromboembolism of patients with major orthopedic surgery.Methods:Totally 124 patients with major orthopedic surgery were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, each group contained 62 cases. The control group received routine thrombosis prevention nursing, patients in the experimental group carried out Caprini risk score-based intervention. The rate of VTE was compared between two groups, the levels of D-Dimer as well as thigh circumference was measured after 24 hours of admission, 3 days after surgery, 5 days after surgery and at discharge day. At discharge day, the inpatients satisfaction with nursing service scale was used to assessment the satisfaction with nursing service of inpatients.Results:The rate of VTE in the experimental group was 1.6% (1/62) and 6.5% (4/62) in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 value was 1.876, P=0.171). Three days after surgery, 5 days after surgery and at discharge day, the D-Dimer were (1.26±0.65) μg/ml, (1.27±0.35) μg/ml, (0.96±0.27) μg/ml in the experimental group, 5 days after surgery and at discharge day, the thigh circumference were (29.81±4.15) cm, (28.86±3.40) cm in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group [(1.64±0.58) μg/ml, (1.51±0.55) μg/ml, (1.25±0.44) μg/ml, (31.84±5.22) cm, (30.83±3.91) cm], the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.405-4.485, P<0.05). The health education and guidance, personality traits, service quality, discharge guidance scores and total satisfaction scores were 26.31±3.06, 35.73±3.64, 27.89±3.11, 8.47±1.18 and 111.08±6.33, significantly higher than those in the control group (24.15±2.31, 33.92±2.66, 26.27±3.41, 7.42±1.82 and 106.52±5.85), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.750-4.433, P<0.05).

Sepsis is an inflammatory disorder syndrome caused by the infection of pathogenic microorganisms, which organ dysfunction due to the dysregulated response of the body to the infection. Sepsis is a dangerous disease with a high fatality rate. The liver, an important organ involved in human biological transformation, energy metabolism, and cytokine production. Its role in sepsis is like a "double-edged sword" because the liver acts as not only an important defense line of the body against microorganisms but also a common target of inflammatory disorders and damage, making it one of the most vulnerable organs in sepsis. The liver contributes to pathogen clearance through immune responses, but the resulting inflammatory reactions can also lead to tissue and organ damage. Sepsis liver injury is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in sepsis patients, and preventing its occurrence and promoting early recovery can partially inhibit disease progression and reduce mortality rates. However, the pathogenesis of sepsis liver injury is not yet fully understood, and there is a lack of early and effective means of diagnosis and treatment. In-depth research on its pathogenesis will provide a better understanding of its occurrence and development, further supporting the theoretical basis for the treatment of sepsis liver injury and identifying some new targets for sepsis treatment, ultimately reducing the mortality of sepsis.

In this study, the psbA-trnH sequence was used as DNA barcoding to evaluate the accuracy and stability for identification of Bamboo shavings, Concretio Silicea Bambusae and their closely related species. 56 samples were collected and conducted the DNA extraction. Obtained sequences were assembled using the CodonCode Aligner V4.2, the genetic distances and NJ tree were computed and constructed using MEGA 5.0. The results shows that the maximum intra-specific K2P distances were less than the minimum inter-specific K2P distances. The NJ tree indicated that Bamboo shavings, Concretio Silicea Bambusae and their closely related species can be distinguished from each other clearly, except for Bambusa tuldoides Munro and Bambusa textilis, which perhaps attributed to their closely genetic relationship.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of normal saline flushing and heparinized saline flushing in invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in the critical patients. Methods A total of 140 critical patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 70 cases in each group according to the envelope method. The experimental group used normal saline for tube flushing, the control group used heparinized saline (5 U/ml) for tube flushing. The incidence of complications and coagulation index were compared between two groups. Results There was no statistically difference in the incidence of the catheter jam and local infection (P>0.05). The incidence of bleeding events was 14.3% (10/70) in the control group, which was higher than 2.9% (2/70) of the experimental group. The difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.466, P<0.05). The activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time of the control group were (32.22 ± 4.22) s, (11.56 ± 2.12) s, which were longer than (29.84 ± 3.64) s, (10.66 ± 1.48) s of the experimental group. And international normalized ratio of the control group was 1.12±0.14, which was higher than 1.03±0.20 of the experimental group. The difference was statistically significant (t values were-3.573,-2.912,-3.084, P <0.05). Conclusions The normal saline flushing liquid was more safer and reliable in the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring.

Objective To explore the role of Kupffer cells( KCs)disorder on the occurrence and development of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ( NAFLD) by means of rat model fed with high-fat diet. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats were random divided into model group ( n =12) and normal group( n = 12) , with a high-fat diet and standard diet for 12 weeks. The levels of body weight, liver weight, alanine aminotransferase( ALT), aspartate aminotransferase( AST) , triglyceride(TG) , and total cholesterol( TC) were measured. Routine histological features of hepatic section were observed by H. E staining. The shape changes of KCs in the liver were detected, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) secreted by KCs were measured. Results The weight, liver index, the levels of ALT, AST, TG, TC, and the levels of TNF-α and NO secreted by KCs in model group were higher than that in the normal group ( P < 0. 05). Histopathological examination showed hepatocellular macrovesicular steatosis, lobular inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis. Compared with normal group, the shape and function of KCs in the liver changed largely. Furthermore, these changes of KCs were in accordance with the degree of steatosis, inflammation and necrosis in the liver of the model group. Conclusions The shape and function of KCs changed significantly in NAFLD induced by high-fat diet, and KCs disorder might be involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD.
