To investigate the diagnosis and surgical treatment of inraspinal tumors.
The clinical data of 246 patients with inraspinal tumors who had undergone operations in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical Col ege between January 2010 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment and prognosis of inraspinal tumors were reviewed.
262 operations were performed, with posterior bilateral laminectomy approach in 202 cases, semi-laminectomy approach in 28 cases, laminoplasty approach in 10 cases, and lateral resection of extra-vertebral canal dumbbel shaped tumors in 22 cases. The short-term remission rate of the nerve root pain reached 95.0%(133/140), and the improvement rates of the sensory disability, motor disturbance, and sphincter dysfunction were 85.6%(125/146), 86.7%( 136/157), and 84.6(11/13) respectively. The ASIA nervous function scores and grades at the last fol ow-up were significantly superior to those before and 3 months after the operation in 236 patients.
Intraspinal tumors are mostly benign. The clinical appearance of them should be watched closely, and thorough physical check-up should be performed. MRI is the examination of choice at early diagnosis. The key to improve the treatment effects is to perform operations as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the current status of workplace violence among Nursing Staff. Methods The Modified Version of Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire was used to investigate 792 nursing staff about their experiences of workplace violence over the past one year in a third-grade Class-A comprehensive hospital in Xi′an city. Results The prevalence of workplace violence among 792 participants was 58.08%(460/792), Outpatient department, Emergency department, Obstetrics and Gynecology department, Pediatrics department were the high-risk areas of workplace violence. Day-shift was the main period of workplace violence occurred. The families of patients, middle-aged, male were the main perpetrators. 72.60%(575/792) of the respondents thought the workplace violence were unavoidable. Correct media orientation (89.33%, 707/792) was considered as the primary measure for preventing workplace violence. Patience explanation (74.13%, 341/460), forbearance (53.04%, 244/460) were the main methods for coping with hospital workplace violence. Grievances (75.38%, 347/460), anger (65.65%, 302/460), part of them even wanted to resign (21.84%, 100/460) after experiencing workplace violence were their feelings. Security patrols (81.63%, 647/792), wards installed cameras (77.43%, 613/792) and bright lights (53.42%, 423/792) in the night work areas were the main measures to prevent workplace violence that the hospital had taken to prevent workplace violence. Conclusions Workplace violence among nursing staff is common. It is suggested that hospitals and the relevant government departments should conduct further intervention research, to formulate feasible administrative riot guiding for reducing the incidence of workplace violence.

AIM: To investigate the effects of sodium ferulate on cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism in atherosclerosis with hyperlipidemia.METHODS: The rabbit model of atherosclerosis was produced by feeding high lipid forages.RAW264.7 foam cell and HepG2 injured cell models were established by incubation with oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).The atherosclerotic plaque area was measured,and serum lipids were detected.The cellular lipid accumulation was examined by oil red O staining.The cellular contents of total cholesterol and cholesterol ester were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography.The hepatic lipase(HL) mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR.RESULTS:(1) Compared with hyperlipid group,the aorta atherosclerosis plaque area and the serum triglyceride level were significantly decreased in sodium ferulate-treated rabbits,but the serum cholesterol level showed little change.(2) Compared with ox-LDL group,the HL mRNA expression in HepG2 cells was enhanced significantly in sodium ferulate-treated group,but the cellular contents of total cholesterol and cholesterol ester in RAW264.7 foam cells showed little change.CONCLUSION: Sodium ferulate inhibits the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in high-cholesterol-fed rabbits aorta.This antiatherosclerotic function may reduce serum triglyceride level through enhancing the expression of HL mRNA without influencing serum cholesterol level and foam cell formation.

BACKGROUND:Embryonic stem cel s have the capacity of multi-differentiation potential, and have been utilized for the therapy of acute liver injury. However, the migration and proliferation of embryonic stem cel s after transplantation remains not wel characterized.
OBJECTIVE:To track the transplanted embryonic stem cel s in repairing acute liver injury by bioluminescence imaging technology.
METHODS:Murine embryonic stem cel s (D3) were transducted with a construct composed of firefly luciferase, monomeric red fluorescence protein and herpes simplex virus truncated thymidine kinase triple fusion reporter genes by lentivirus system. Stable D3 embryonic stem cel s integrating three report genes were screened. The undifferentiated embryonic stem cel s or differentiated embryonic stem cel s from the 6-day-old embryoid body were transplanted into acute liver injury model of SV129 mouse through spleen, and the transplanted cel s were monitored by bioluminescence imaging technology.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Reverse transcription PCR results showed that the expression level of Oct-4 and Nanog was not affected in embryonic stem cel s transducted with triple fusion reporter gene compared with wild-type embryonic stem cel s. The migration process of transplanted cel s was visualized by bioluminescence imaging technology. Teratomas were found in both triple fusion-embryonic stem cel s treatment group and triple fusion-embryoid body cel s treatment group at liver, and the teratoma formation could be suppressed by ganciclovir administration because ganciclovir can react with herpes simplex virus truncated thymidine kinase and trigger cel necrosis process. Histological analysis showed that teratomas comprised tissues from al three germ layers. These results demonstrate that triple gene fusion does not affect differentiation potential of embryonic stem cel s and it is risky to utilize embryonic stem cel s for cel therapy, because it affects repair of liver injury. The therapy strategy requires further improvement and real-time visualizing of embryonic stem cel s in vivo is absolutely necessary.

Objective To investigate the expressions of platelet activation-dependent granule membrane protein and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-αB, and the ultra-microstructure changes of platelets in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI). Method The expressions of platelet activationdependent granule of glycoprotein (CD62P)and platelet derived growth factor receptor αβ subtype (PDGFR-αβ)of platelets in peripheral blood in 36 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) hospitalized and another 34 healthy subjects over the same period (control group) were investigated by flow cytometry and data were analyzed. The changes of ultra microstructure and activity of blood platelets in those patients and control group were observed under the scanning electron microscope. Results The expressions of CD62P and PDGFR-αβin patients with STEMI group before treatment were (3.65 ± 1.87) % and (0.43 ± 0.39) %, respectively, and those after treatment were (0.96 ± 0.79) % and (0.28 ± 0. 24) %, respectively, whereas those in control group were (0.67 ± 0.35) % and (0.27 ± 0.22) %, respectively, which were much lower in control than those in patients with STEMI before treatment (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05) respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the expressions of CD62P and PDGFR-αβ in patients group between pre-treatment and posttreatment (P ＜0.01 or P ＜0.05), respectively. Obvious ultra-microstructure changes of platelet surface in patients with STEMI group were observed. Conclusions Due to platelet activation in AMI, the expressions of CD62P can be used as effective indicators for monitoring coronary heart disease, and the PDGFR-αβ can be used as a reference indicator. The platelet surface ultra-microstructure changes during platelet activation in patients with AMI can be found by scanning electron microscopy.

Objective:To explore the incidence and epidemiological features of workplace violence among medi-cal staffs in a Third - grade Class - A hospital in Xi'an,and to provide scientific basis for the hospital and relevant health management departments to make workplace violence prevention and control measures. Methods: Using Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire, a survey was conducted among medical staffs in a Third - grade Class - A hospital in Xi'an to investigate the occurrence of workplace violence over the past one year. Results:A-mong the 1174 respondents,655 suffered workplace violence in the past one year,with a rate of 55. 79％ ;the vio-lence occurred mainly in day shift and wards;the perpetrators were mainly middle - aged,male and the families of patients;69. 42％ of the respondents thought the workplace violence were unavoidable and 87. 31％ of the respond-ents considered that the top measures that can be taken to prevent the workplace violence was "the correct media o-rientation";the main coping methods of medical staffs were patience explanation and forbearance,and after suffering workplace violence,the medical staffs would feel grievances,anger,declining enthusiasm for work and even didn't want to do medical care. The main measures that the hospital had taken to prevent workplace violence mainly in-cluded the security patrol,installing cameras in wards and keeping light bright at night in working area. Conclu-sions:Workplace violence is common among medical staffs. To prevent and control hospital workplace violence,it is recommended that:① Hospital employ more security personals and should particularly strengthen security work in high - risk period,high - risk departments;②it should strengthen the training of medical staff on the prevention and control of workplace violence and strengthen popularization of the relevant legal knowledge to the client;③it should strengthen the communication and cooperation with media and promote the correct media orientation;④it should smooth the patient feedback channels and timely correct the existing problems.

To understand the current status of emergency nurses’ patient safety attitude cognition and its influencing factors, 746 emergency nurses from 34 hospitals were investigated with the revised Chinese version of the safety attitude questionnaire. The results showed that the total mean score of patient safety attitude of emergency nurses was (3.98±0.40) points, which was above the middle level. Among them, the mean scores of team cooperation, safety atmosphere, management perception, work satisfaction, working condition, and stress perception were (4.14±0.85) points, (3.85±0.81) points, (3.90±0.81) points, (3.91±0.85) points, (3.86±1.06) points, and (3.89±0.59) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that length of service and grade of hospital were the influencing factors of emergency nurses’ patient safety attitude (P<0.05). It is suggested that the managers should incorporate patient safety culture into the training and management of emergency nurses, especially strengthen the safety culture education for junior nurses; the secondary hospital should also focus on enhancing team cooperation training for emergency nurses and improving the working environment of them, so as to reduce unsafe behaviors in nursing work and ensure patients’ safety.

Objective To characterize the species of common sandflies in Henan Province using DNA barcoding with cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene as the molecular marker, and to analyze the genetic polymorphisms of sandflies, so as to provide insights into visceral leishmaniasis prevention and control in Henan Province. Methods Sandfly specimens were sampled from 13 sandflies surveillance sites from 2021 to 2023 in Anyang City, Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Xuchang cities (Zhengzhou-Luoyang-Xuchang areas) where visceral leishmaniasis cases were reported and in Jiaozuo and Xinxiang cities (Jiaozuo-Xinxiang areas) without visceral leishmaniasis cases reported. Genomic DNA was extracted from a single sandfly, and COI gene was amplified. The amplification product was subjected to bidirectional sequencing. Following sequence assembly, the species of sandflies was characterized through sequence alignment using the BLAST tool. The intra-specific and inter-specific genetic distances of sandflies were estimated among different areas using the software Mega 11, and phylogenetic trees were created. The polymorphisms of nucleotide sequences in the sandflies COI gene were estimated using the software DnaSP. The fixation index (F_ST) of different geographical isolates of sandflies was calculated using the Arlequin software, and the gene flow value (Nm) was used to measure the gene flow in the sandflies populations. In addition, the population genetic structure of different geographical populations of Phlebotomus chinensis was analyzed using the STRUCTURE software. Results A total of 978 sandflies were collected from 13 sandflies surveillance sites in Zhengzhou-Luoyang-Xuchang areas, Jiaozuo-Xinxiang areas and Anyang City of Henan Province from 2021 to 2023, and 475 sandflies were randomly sampled for subsequent detections. A total of 304 Ph. chinensis, 162 Se. squamirostris and 9 Se. bailyi were identified based on molecular biological detection of the COI gene, and Se. bailyi was reported for the first time in Henan Province. The intraspecific genetic distances of sandflies were 0.000 to 0.040, and the inter-specific genetic distances ranged from 0.133 to 0.161. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that each of the three sandfly species was clustered into a clade. The genetic polymorphisms of Ph. chinensis populations varied among different areas, with the highest haplotype diversity (0.966 ± 0.007) and the greatest nucleotide diversity (0.011) in Zhengzhou-Luoyang-Xuchang areas, and the lowest haplotype diversity (0.720 ± 0.091) and nucleotide diversity (0.004) in Anyang City. The dominant haplotype of Ph. chinensis populations was Pch_Hap_2 in Anyang City and Jiaozuo-Xinxiang areas, with moderate genetic differentiation (0.05 < F_ST < 0.15) and frequent gene exchange (Nm value > 1) between Ph. chinensis populations sampled from Anyang City, and Jiaozuo-Xinxiang areas. Population genetic structure analysis showed that the dominant component of Ph. chinensis populations was K5 in Anyang City and Jiaozuo-Xinxiang areas. No obvious dominant haplotype was observed in Ph. chinensis populations sampled from Zhengzhou-Luoyang-Xuchang areas, which had very high genetic differentiation (F_ST > 0.25) and little gene exchange (Nm value < 1) with Ph. chinensis populations from Anyang City, and Jiaozuo-Xinxiang areas, with K3 as the dominant component. In addition, there was no significant difference in the genetic polymorphism level among Se. squamirostris populations from the three areas. Conclusions There are Ph. chinensis, Se. squamirostris and Se. bailyi in Henan Province, and S. bailyi is recorded for the first time in Henan Province by molecular biological assays. There are different levels of genetic differentiation and gene exchange among P. chinensis populations in different areas of Henan Province.
