Objective From the angle of electrophysiology, go further into the mechanism of action of acupuncture treatment to the insufficient blood-supply of vertebral basilar artery and at the same time, make a comparison of the effects between the acupuncture on cephalic meridian points and zonation cephalic acupuncture. Methods Through the contrast before and after adopting the self-acupuncture on the testees of 28 cases (including healthy persons of seven cases and TIA patients of 21 cases), observe the change of immediate effect of all waves latent period values of BAEP. Results The BAEP wave latent period of healthy persons (exclusive of I wave of auditory fainting region) assumes a relative delay within the physiological range and by comparison between points and region, the delay of V-wave Baihui point is evidently higher than that of auditory fainting region. However, the latent period of all waves of TIA patients is relatively moved up, especially there are evident differences before and after the I-wave acupuncture is carried out. Viewing from the comparison between points and region, there is no significant difference. Conclusion The function of acupuncture lies in the adjustment of antagonistic body state and it is most effective under the pathological state. Acupuncture will play the main role of excitation to the auditory nerve conduction of BAEP of TIA patients (from cochlea to midbrain) and the influence over the peripheral nerves is more sensitive than over the center ones. Although points and region have their own relative specificities, there is no significant difference between them.

Objective To do a longitudinal study of nursing undergraduates′ humanistic care ability in different period of clinical practice, and analyze its trend, aiming to provide reference about how to intervene to enhance the nursing undergraduates' humanistic care ability. Methods A total of 67 nursing undergraduates were investigated about their humanistic care ability with the Care Ability Inventory (Caring Ability Inventory, CAI) at the beginning, middle and end of the internship. Results The scores of seniors′ humanistic care ability at the beginning, middle and end of the internship were 194.97±22.93, 192.18±26.87, 187.24±22.15, and there was a statistically significant difference among the three time points (F=3.234, P<0.05), there was significant difference of the dimension of courage in different periods (F=7.511, P<0.01). Conclusions There is a downtrend of nursing undergraduates′humanistic care ability in different stages of clinical practice, and we suggest that nursing educators and administrators should consider the characteristics of different periods in the clinical practice, and then do a targeted training to foster nursing students′humanistic care ability.

Objective To observe the effect of fluvastatin(Flu) on differentiation and induction of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and provide the theoretical foundation for treatment of human promyelocytic leukemia.Methods The cultured HL-60 cells were treated with 20 ?mol?L-1 Flu,the morphological changes of the cell differentiation were examined.The NBT reduction capability was detected in HL-60 cells treated with Flu for 72 h.After HL-60 cells were treated with 20 ?mol?L-1 Flu for 5 d,they were stained with non-specific esterase and the percentage of differentiation cells was analyzed.Results The HL-60 cells treated with Flu showed smaller cell body,reducing proportion of nucleus to cytoplasm,the nucleus tortuosity,fold or sublobe.There were specific granules and vacuoles in cytoplasm,displaying that some cells had differentiated to relative mature cells.As compared with control group,the NBT reduction capability in HL-60 cells treated with Flu for 72 h was significantly higher than that in control cells(P

Objective: To observe the effect of simvastatin on osteoblastic cell differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells in vitro, and to elucidate the mechanisms of anabolic effect of simvastatin on bone formation. Methods: Bone marrow stromal cells from femur and tibia of adult female BALB C mice were cultured in vitro , after being treated with different concentrations of simvastatin for 72 h, changes of mRNA level of osteocalcin (OCN) were detected by RT PCR, change of OCN, and osteopontin (OPN) expression were examined by Western blot, and the changes of cellular alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) were examined by histochemistry and enzymologic measurement. Results: After bone marrow stromal cells were treated with different concentration of simvastatin for 72 h, level of OCN mRNA increased, and expression of OCN and OPN also increased in a concentration dependent manner, and cellular ALP activity significantly increased in a concentration dependent manner. Conclusion: Simvastatin can stimulate osteoblastic differentiation,and improve cellular ALPase activity with high expression of osteocalcin and osteopontin in vitro. These may be parts of the mechanism of anabolic effect of simvastatin on bone formation.

Objective To investigate the status of professional identity of nursing undergraduates in different grades and to search for their different professional identity level, so as to establish a pertinent method on nursing education for promoting nursing undergraduates′professional identity. Methods By stratified sampling, a total of 286 nursing undergraduates from four grades in Dalian Medical University were surveyed by general information questionnaire and the Professional Identification Scale for Nurses. Results The average total scores of the professional identity of nursing undergraduates were (107.29±15.01) points. There was significant difference in the total score and the five dimensions of professional identity,F=5.625, 5.258, 7.459, 4.182, 6.891, 7.299, P<0.01. Professional identity score was on the rise along with the grade growth, but the score of grade two was significant lower than the other three grades, and the score showed an increase in grade three; grade, whether profession was consistent with their own interests or not, the reasons of choosing the profession were the important factors affecting professional identity of nursing undergraduates. Conclusions The professional identity score of nursing undergraduates is in medium level and remains to be improved. It is suggested that nursing educators should take corresponding measures according to different grades, own interest and physical and mental characteristics of the students, so as to improve their professional identity and lay the foundation for stability and sustainable development of the nursing team in the future.

Objective To observe the adipocytic differentiation potential of bone marrow stromal cells (BMS), and the effect of simvastatin on adipocytic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells in vitro, and to elucidate the mechanisms of anabolic effect of simvastatin on bone formation. Methods BMS from femur and tibia of adult female BALB C mice were cultured in vitro. Changes of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were determined after treatment with adipogenetic agonist (hydrocortisone 0 5 ?mol/L and indomethacin 60 ?mol/L, HI) for 6 days. Thenexpression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mRNA was detected by RT PCR after treatment with HI and different concentration of simvastatin for 72 h. Adipogenetic differentiation were also observed with Oil Red O staining and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) after treatment with HI and different concentration of simvastatin or 100 ?g/L rhBMP 2 for 12 days. Results After BMS were treated with HI for 6 days, ALP activity was significantly decreased ( P

RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence were used to examine secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine(SPARC)mRNA and protein expression in adipose tissue of rats. The results showed that the expression levels of SPARC mRNA and protein in adipose tissue of insulin resistant rats were higher than those of the normal ones(all P＜0.01). SPARC may play a role in the negative feedback regulation duning the development of insulin resistance.

ObjectiveTo explore the bone anabolic effects after a single local injection of simvastatin into femoral cavities of osteoporotic rats.MethodsThirty-six female SD rats(3 months old,body weight 250-300 g) were ovariectomized(OVX) and low-calcium-diet fed for 3 months,OVX rats were randomized into 3 groups(n=12).Left femurs of group A,B and C were injected with 0,5 and 10 mg simvastatin,respectively.Half of the rats in each group were randomly euthanized separately 1 and 5 months after simvastatin injection.Left femurs were taken out for bone mineral density (BMD) assessment with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry,bone histomorphometic changes were analysized by Micro-CT,and two kinds of biomechanical tests were used to evaluate the osteogenic effects.ResultsOne and five months after injection,BMD in mid-diaphysis significantly increased in simvastatin-injected groups compared to the control group.For Micro-CT analysis,significant increase in total bone volume/total tissue volume,cortical wall thickness,trabecular thickness,trabecular number,and a significant decrease in trabecular spacing were observed in simvastatin-injected groups compared to the control group.For both biomechanics (the three-pointbreaking test of condyles and axial compressive testing of proximal femur),the values were significantly higher in simvastatin-injected groups than the control group.ConclusionLocal simvastatin treatment showed a positive effect on improving mechanical strength,structure of osteopenic femurs and BMD.Our findings may provide a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis,especially for osteoporotic fractures.

Objective To summarize the causes,related factors and outcome of extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants.Methods One hundred and three cases of extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants were admired to First Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between January 2009 and December 2015.The study was performed to analyze the clinical data of the 103 cases,included history of pregnancy,birth situation,treatment and prognosis.Results In these 103 cases,67 infants survived,36 infants died.The survival rate was 65.0％ (67/103).The extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants were mainly associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension,infection,premature rupture of membranes.Factors that could affect the outcome of these cases included gestational age,sex,birth weight,pulmonary hemorrhage,bronchopulmonary dysplasia and necrotizing enterocolitis(P ＜0.05).The survival infants with long-term hospitalization often complicated with anemia.The top four causes of the death mostly were pulmonary hemorrhage,pneumonia,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,and necrotizing enterocolitis.Conclusion In order to reduce the incidence of extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants,improve the survival rate and infants quality of life,we should monitor the high-risk pregnant women closely during pregnancy period,prevent and treat all kinds of complications and prevent the occurrence of nosocomial infection.
