Objective To evaluate the effects of hydrogen-rich saline on chronic inflammatory pain in rats.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C);complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) group;hydrogen-rich saline group (group H2);CFA + hydrogenrich saline group (CFA+H2 group).Chronic inflammatory pain was induced by injecting CFA 100 μl into the plantar surface of the left hindpaw in CFA and CFA + H2 groups.In H2 and CFA + H2 groups,0.6 mmol/L hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally once a day for 7 consecutive days starting from 1 day after injection of CFA,while the equal volume of normal salinc was given instead of hydrogen-rich saline in C and CFA groups.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured at 1 day before CFA injection and 1,3 and 7 days after CFA injection.The rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain threshold on day 7 after CFA injection.The left lumbar segments (L4 5) of the spinal cord were removed for determination of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression by Western blot.Results Compared with C group,no significant change was found in the MWT,TWL and expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in H2 group,and the MWT was significantly decreased,the TWL was shortened,and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was up-regulated in CFA and CFA+H2 groups.Compared with CFA group,the MWT was significantly increased,the TWL was prolonged,and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was up-regulated in CFA+H2 group.Conclusion Hydrogen-rich saline can alleviate chronic inflammatory pain in rats,and activation of Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway in the spinal cord is involved in the mechanism.

Objective To study the expression and function relations of the p63 in ovarian serous carcinoma,and compare them with normal ovary tissue.Methods RT-PCR,in situ hybridization and im- munohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of the p63 in ovarian serous carcinoma,ovarian bor- derline serous tumors,ovarian benign serous tumors and normal ovary tissues.Results All samples ex- pressed p63 mRNA through RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry,while the levels of expression in ovarian tu- mors was higher than that of normal ovary.p63 in human borderline and malignant ovarian tumors was higher than that in human benign ovarian tumors with significant difference,which suggested p63 may play great roles in the origin and progression of ovarian tumors.The result of in situ hybridization showed that positive expression rate of p63 mRNA in ovarian cancer (92.1%) was significantly higher than that in normal ovary(0) or LWP ovarian cancer(50.0%).Conclusion Expression of p63 plays an important role in the development of varian carcinoma,and along with the difference of histological stage and clinico-pathological stage,the ex- pression of p63 gene and protein level were different.

Objective To understand the training effect and discuss psychiatric nurse specialists training′s influence on the core competence and scientific research ability by investigating the working status of psychiatric nurse specialists with the Chinese Nursing Association certification, and in order to improve the quality of the psychiatric nurse specialists training experience. Methods 100 nurses who participated in the Chinese Nursing Association psychiatric nurse specialists training from 2010 to 2014 were chosen by random number table method. Surveyed with their core competence and scientific research ability after training to understand their working status. Results Eighty-eight valid questionnaires were recovered. Scores in core competence of nurses after training were 2.78 ± 0.55, which in the medium level;education background was the main influencing factor of core competence (t=-2.891, P<0.01). Average scientific research ability scores were 1.74 ± 0.88, which was in low level;education background and title were main influencing factors of scientific research ability (t=-3.310, F=5.922, P<0.01). After training, 62.5%(55/88) psychiatric specialist nurses undertook clinical and nursing work the night shift. 82.9%(73/88) of specialist nurse after back to the unit to undertake the teaching work. 52.2% (46/88) psychiatric specialist nurses carried out the scientific research work, and a total of 33 articles published. 79.5%(70/88) of specialist nurses thought hospital for junior nurses more seriously, 35.2% (31/88) of psychiatric specialist nurses′ units carried out the follow-up training. 6.8% (6/88) of hospital tilted in wages reward about nurse specialist, 18.2% (16/88) of hospital tilted in the cut about nurse specialist. Conclusions After training,psychiatric nurses play an important role in clinical care, research, teaching and other work, but their core competencies and research capabilities should to be improved by the further training of the hospital. Although the hospital attaches great importance to specialist nurses, but in the wage awards and title do not tilt.

A method for residual determination of 5 pyrethroid pesticides in Anoectochilus roxburghii by cloud point extraction-back extraction-GC-MS was established. PEG 6000 was used as extraction agent and isooctane was used for back-extractant. The con- tent was calculated by external standard method. The linear range was from 15 to 2 000 μg x kg(-1) with the good correlation coefficients (0.955-0.999). The recoveries at spiked concentrations of 50-500 μg x kg(-1) ranged from 85.12% to 101.6%. The limit of detection and quantification of 5 pyrethroid pesticides were in the range of 0.63-3.10 μg x kg(-1) and 2.10-10.31 μg x kg(-1), respectively. The proposed method can be applied to the determination of pyrethroid pesticides residues in A. roxburghii.

This study was designed to investigate the impact of ultra-filtration extract mixture from Astragals mongholicus (UEMAM) o radiosensitivity of H22 ascitic tumor in mice to 12C6+ ions radiation. The H22 ascitic tumor model was established in mice by intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL H22 ascitic cells. The animals were subsequently divided into 4 groups randomly, treated with normal saline, UEMAM, heavy ion beam radiotherapy and UEMAM plus heavy ion beam radiotherapy, respectively. The body weights, abdomen circumference of the mice were measured and the mouse behavior was monitored every day; survival time was recorded to evaluate life extension effect; flow cytometry technique was used to detect H22 cell apoptosis and cell cycle; protein levels of p53, Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3 were analyzed by Western blot; the single cell gel electrophoresis was used to detect the level of deoxyribonucleic acid damage (DNA damage). The results suggest that UEMAM significantly increased survival time, and decreased body weights and abdomen circumference over the saline control group. The treatment increased cell apoptosis, cycle arrest and DNA damage compared to the saline control group. UEMAM significantly enhanced the therapeutic effect of heavy ion beam radiation in survival time, and decreased body weights and abdomen circumference in the tumor-baring mice. The combination increased cell apoptosis, cycle arrest and DNA damage compared to the radiotherapy group. The results of Western blot suggest that the treatment significantly enhanced p53-induced apoptotic signals. The experiment discovered that UEMAM could improve radiosensitivity of H22 ascitic tumor through activation of p53-mediated apoptotic signal pathway.

The mycelium growth and sporulation in different temperature, pH value and light conditions were detected by using the crossing and haemocytometer method. The toxicity of five fungicides to Fusarium oxysporum was tested by mycelia growth method, so as to provide the reference for prevention and control against F. oxysporum. The optimum temperature and pH value of F. oxysporum to grow and spore were 28 degrees C and 6-7. Alternating light and darkness promoted growth and sporulation of bacterial colony. As for five fungicides, the EC50 of tebuconazole was 10.02 mg x L(-1), 92.50 times as much as carbendazim. The EC50 of myclobutanil and Fuxing was 91.23, 96.68 mg x L(-1), respectively. Tebuconazole showed the most tremendous inhibitory effect and control efficiency on F. oxysporum.
