Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(35):18-21
Objective To explore the effects of exercise nursing intervention on renal transplant recipients.Methods A convenient sample of 64 renal transplant recipients during rehabilitation period were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 32 cases in each group.The experimental group received routine care and rehabilitation exercise,while the control group just received routine care.The body mass index(BMI),blood pressure and heart rate were measured in the two groups.Results Before intervention the differences of BMI,heart rate,blood pressure between the two groups were not statistically significant.However,after intervention,the BMI and blood pressure of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,but there was no significant differences in heart rate.Conclusions Rehabilitation exercise nursing intervention contributes to raise recipients' quality of life and promote whole rehabilitation.

Objective To evaluate the application of dual-source CT (DSCT) using low-dose technology in diagnosing complex congenital heart diseases. Methods The DSCT data of 31 cases with complex congenital heart diseas-es conifrmed by operation were retrospectively analysed and classiifed into four groups:group A(≤4 months old, n=12); group B (>4 months old~1 year old, n=3);group C (>1 year~6 years old, n=8) and group D (>6 years old, n=8). Results The diagnosis conformation rate of DSCT with surgery were 94.59%. The diagnostic conformation rate of intracardic anormalies using DSCT was 92.86%. And the diagnostic conformation of DSCT in patients with abnormal connection of atrium or ventri-cle to great vessels and the extrocardic anormalies was 95.65%. The average effective dose in each group were 1.16±0.06 mSv, 1.28±0.07 mSv, 1.96±0.54 mSv and 2.77±0.38 mSv, respectively. The ratio of the high quality images was 90.32%. Con-clusions The application of low dose technology in DSCT can clearly display the anomalies, and signiifcantly reduce the radiation dose without losing image quality as well.

Background and purpose:Ovarian cancer-associated ifbroblasts (CAF) are known to promote epithelial malignancy. The chemoattractant cytokine growth-regulated oncogene alpha (Gro-α) secreted from CAF has been reported to mediate the stroma-epithelia interaction in tumor microenvironment, leading to the development of epithelial ovarian cancer, however, the detailed mechanism is unknown.This study was to determine whether Gro-αcould promote ovarian tumorigenesis through activating NF-кB nuclear translocation and VEGF expression in stromal ifbroblasts. Methods:ELISA was used to measure the levels of Gro-αin two cancer-associated ifbroblasts (CAF) and normal ifbroblasts (NF) isolated from high-grade serous ovarian cancer or normal ovarian tissues. CAF conditioned medium (CM) or Gro-αwas used to treat NF, while PS1145, the inhibitor of NF-кB, was used as control. NF-кB subunit p65 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by Western blot in cells after treatment. Xenograft tumors from nude mice were generated by injection of CAF, NF, or OVCA429 alone or OVCA429 mixed with CAF or NF, and by injection of OVCA429 mixed with NF cells that were treated with or without CAF-CM or Gro-α, or with NF cells that were treated with CAF-CM or Gro-αplus PS1145. The tumor growth curve was measured and the blood vessel density in xenograft tumor tissues was examined by histopathological analysis. Results:The levels of Gro-αwere 5-6 folds higher in CAF than in NF. Treatment of NF with CAF-CM or Gro-αstimulated the nuclear translocation of NF-кB subunit p65, and the expression of VEGF, but suppressed the expression of thrombospondin 1, the anti-angiogenesis factor, compared with control cells. However, treatment of NF with the NF-кB inhibitor PS1145 reversed these results. The animal assay revealed that CAF stimulated tumor growth stronger than NF, and NF treated with CAF-CM or Gro-α, but not along with PS1145, enhanced xenograft tumor growth through promoting angiogenesis. Conclusion:Ovarian CAF promotes the nuclear translocation of NF-кB and the expression of VEGF through Gro-αautocrine in tumor microenvironment to facilitate angiogenesis and ovarian cancer development.
