Objective:To observe the effect of tuina manipulations on blood pressure and its variability in hypertension patients. Methods:Forty hypertension patients were randomized into an observation group and a medication group, 20 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by tuina manipulations of kidney-tonifying blood-circulating and collaterals- unblocking in addition to regular medication, while the medication group was by the same medication. The 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed before intervention and after 3-month intervention. The blood pressure and its variability were observed and compared. Results:There were no significant differences in comparing the blood pressure and blood pressure variability between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05); after 3-month intervention, the blood pressure and its variability were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05); the improvements in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Tuina manipulations of kidney-tonifying blood-circulating and collaterals-unblocking plus medication can produce a better effect than regular medication in promoting blood pressure and its variability, and this method is worth applying in clinic as it’s easy-to-operate and has no adverse effect.

Objective To study the pharmacokinetics of aristolochic acid A in Radix Aristolochiae and the compound preparation of Guanxinsuhe Capsule in mice in vivo after single-dose oral administration and observe the difference of aristolochic acid A absorption and distribution. Methods Aristolochic acid A assay was performed by RP-HPLC on a Waters apparatus with a DiamonsilTM C18 column (250 mm × 4.6mm, 5 μm), a mobil phase: a mixture of methanol-water-acetic acid (72: 27 : 1), flow rate: 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength: 315 nm, and column temperature: 20 ℃. Results Mice were given Radix Aristolochiae and Guanxinsuhe Capsule by ig at the same level of 2. 5 mg/kg of aristolochic acid A, respectively, which were suspended in 0. 3% CMC-Na solution. Plasma concentrations were determined by RPHPLC. After single-dose ig administration of Radix Aristolochiae or Guanxinsuhe Capsule to mice, the mean plasma concentration-time courses of aristolochic acid A obtained fitted the one-compartment model.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of aristolochic acid A in Radix Aristolochiae, t1/2ka, t1/2 ke, tmax,AUC, Cmax are 5. 103 min, 43. 63 min, 17.89 min, 80. 45 (μg · min)/mL, and 0. 916 8 μg/mL; the rela tive pharmacokinetic parameters in Guanxinsuhe Capsule are 5. 294 min, 43.50 min, 18. 32 min, 33.08(μg · min)/mL, and 0. 381 8 μg/mL. Conclusion The Cmax of aristolochic acid A in Guanxinsuhe Capsule is significantly less than that in Radix Aristolochiae, which indicates that the compound compability could decrease the absorption of aristolochiae acid A.

Objective To evaluate the role of calcium channel in the mechanism of the generation and maintenance of bursting firing of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons in rats.Methods Using the patch clamp technique,we observed the firing pattern switching features after adding 10 μmol/L N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA),compared the changes of whole-calcium current and L-type calcium current with or without NMDA,and analyzed the correlation between the generation of burst firing and L-type calcium channel activation.Results After NMDA treatment,the firing pattern of SNc dopaminergic neurons changed to burst firing,which was compromised by a charastistic high plateau potential and series of action potential on it.The current density of L-type calcium current increased significantly after adding NMDA,which,from (2.86 ±0.26) pA/pF (n =28),significantly increased to (3.75 ± 0.18) pA/pF (n =34 ; t =7.52,P =0.002 8).The high plateau potential was almost abolished with the application of verapamil,a specific antagonist of L-type calcium channel.Consiusion NMDA could induce the firing pattern changed to burst firing in SNc dopaminergic neurons,while L-type calcium channel contributes to the process of generation and maintenance of burst firing.

Objective To quantify the workload rate of nurses at clinical departments and to clarify the current situation of clinical nursing work. Methods We randomly selected three departments respectively from the medical system and the surgery system as observation areas, and the nurses on the job as observation objects. Then we drew up the to-do-list of nursing work, and defined the concepts and activities of various items. The nurses of the department were observed and recorded every 5 minutes by uniformly-trained observers, and the data were collected and entered into the Excel software to set up the database by using the method of work sampling combined with the random starting point and other time intervals. Based on data collation and analysis of SPSS19. 0 statistical software, the improvement and control scheme was put forward. Results The average nursing workload rates of medicine and surgical systems were 93. 52％ and 92. 13％ respectively. Direct nursing in the surgical system accounted for 10. 59％, and indirect nursing accounted for 62. 89％; direct nursing for the medical system accounted for 16. 20％ and indirect nursing for 57. 32％. The proportions of nursing work belonged to operation increment were relatively large (77. 32％ and 81. 54％). Conclusions The work sampling method is more comprehensive and objective to reflect the intensity of nursing workload. To define the workload of clinical nurses and distinguish the increment and waste items of nursing process are helpful to improve the quality of nursing management and the efficiency of service.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of the maximum standardized uptake value decrease proportion (△SUVmax％) on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging and C-MYC gene in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL),and to find the optimal time of PET/CT imaging.Methods From September 2010 to February 2016,171 patients (87 males,84 females,average age:(50.66±2.56) years)with pathologically confirmed DLBCL were analyzed.18F-FDG PET/CT were performed before and after different courses of chemotherapy (60 patients in early phase which means 1 and 2 courses;55 patients in medium phase,3 and 4 courses;56 patients in late phase,5 and 6 courses).The region of interest (ROI) was drawn and the △SUVmax％ was calculated.Patients were evaluated with Deauville 5-point scale.Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was employed to detect C-MYC gene.Patients were followed up for 6-71 months,and progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated.x2 test,one-way analysis of variance,Kaplan-Meier analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.Results There were 42 C-MYC gene rearrangement of 171 DLBCL patients.Age,Ann Arbor stage,international prognostic index (IPI) score,serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and therapeutic response were different between patients with C-MYC gene rearrangement and those without rearrangement (x2:6.139-98.339,all P＜0.05).The optimum cutoff values of the △SUVmax％ were 62.5％,87.0％ and 92.0％ respectively in the early,medium and late phases of chemotherapy.Patients with △SUVmax％ ≥≥ 62.5％,≥ 87.0％ or ≥ 92.0％ and normal C-MYC gene showed longer PFS (x2 values:21.983-61.899,all P＜0.001).The △SUVmax％ was negatively correlated with C-MYC gene rearrangement (rs =-0.801,P ＜ 0.001).Significant differences were found in △SUVmax％ (F=6.509,P＜0.01) and Deauville 5-point scale (F=19.897,P＜0.001) among patients in early,medium and late phases.No Significant differences were shown between medium and late phases (P＞0.05).Conclusion △SUVmax％ in the different phases of chemotherapy and C-MYC gene rearrangemeut have better values for predicting the prognosis of DLBCL,and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging should be performed between 1 course and 4 courses of chemotherapy.
