Objective To investigate the effect of telephone follow-up on peripherally inserted central cathter(PICC) maintenance.Methods Two hundred and eighty-nine patients with PICC in our hospital from January to December 2010 served as the control group,given conventional health education on intubation,another 305 patients with PICC from January to December 2011 were set as the observation group,where telephone call follow-up was done on the basis of conventional health education on intubation. The two groups were compared in terms of timely catheter maintenance,catheter-related complications,accidental extubation and satisfaction.Result The observation group was significantly better than the control group in terms of timely catheter maintenance, catheter-related complications,accidental extubation and satisfaction (allP<0.05).Conclusion Telephone follow-up helps to improve patients compliance with PICC catheter maintenance,effectively control the complications and improve the quality of life and satisfaction degree.

Objective To observe the changes of osteoblasts and vascularization during osteogenesis by tissue engineering technique under the electron microscope and study the feasibility of improving vascularization of the tissue engineering bone by using the small intestine submucosa(SIS) as the scaffold. Methods The bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) were isolated by using the gradient centrifuge method.BMSCs were seeded in the SIS.The scaffold-cell constructs were cultured in vitro for two weeks.There were no cells on the SIS as control.They were implanted subcutaneously in the dorsa of the athymic mice.The implants were harvested after(in vivo) incubation for 4,8 and 12 weeks.The changes of osteoblasts and vascularization were observed under the transmission electron microscope and the scanning electron microscope. Results The BMSCs grew quite well.BMSCs differentiated on the surface of the SIS and secreted a great deal of extracellular matrices.The scaffold-cell constructs formed a lot of bone and vessels in vivo.The scaffold degraded after 12 weeks.No osteoblasts but vascularization and fibroblasts were observed as control. Conclusion SIS can be used as the scaffold for constructing tissue engineering bone as it can improve the formation of bone and vessels in vivo.

The methods for aptamer selection have been modified and developed in recent years. Selection efficiency has been increased due to the improvement in separation of bound and unbound nucleic acids; applicability of aptamers has been improved due to the development of primer-free SELEX and the utilization of short oligonucleotide library; more research requirements have been satisfied due to the functional modifications of aptamer selection methods. All the methodological advances enhance the potential value of aptamers in basic researches and clinical applications.

The AC impedance of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells were measured in our laboratory by Agilent 4294A impedance analyzer in the frequency range of 0.01-100 MHz. And then the effect of hematocrit on electrical impedance characteristics of hepatoma cells was observed by electrical impedance spectroscopy, Bode diagram, Nyquist diagram and Nichols diagram. The results showed that firstly, there is a frequency dependence, i.e., the increment of real part and the imaginary part of complex electrical impedance (δZ', δZ"), the increment of the amplitude modulus of complex electrical impedance (δ[Z *]) and phase angle (δθ) were all changed with the increasing frequency. Secondly, it showed cell volume fraction (CVF) dependence, i. e. , the increment of low-frequency limit (δZ'0, δ[Z*] 0), peak (δZ"(p), δθ(p)), area and radius (Nyquist diagram, Nichols diagram) were all increased along with the electric field frequency. Thirdly, there was the presence of two characteristic frequencies: the first characteristic frequency (f(c1)) and the second characteristic frequency (f(c2)), which were originated respectively in the polarization effects of two interfaces that the cell membrane and extracellular fluid, cell membrane and cytoplasm. A conclusion can be drawn that the electrical impedance spectroscopy is able to be used to observe the electrical characteristics of human hepatoma cells, and therefore this method can be used to investigate the electrophysiological mechanisms of liver cancer cells, and provide research tools and observation parameters, and it also has important theoretical value and potential applications for screening anticancer drugs.

Objective To research and evaluate measuring Toric intraocular lens (Toric IOL) alignment by iTrace aberration without mydriasis.Methods Forty-five eyes of 35 patients underwent phacoemulsification in Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from June 2015 to February 2016 were enrolled.Follow-up and iTrace aberration examination were performed at postoperative 1 week.The internal optics aberration astigmatism axis was transformed into postoperative Toric IOL alignment.The result and the Toric IOL alignment measured by tradition slitlamp method were compared by linear correlation and difference.Results At postoperative 1 week,the uncorrected distant visual acuity and corrected distant visual acuity were (0.19 ± 0.12)LogMAR and (0.10 ±0.09) LogMAR.The UCVA was 20/40 or better in 42 eyes (93.3%).The mean IOL misalignment measured by slitlamp was (3.13 ± 2.86) degrees (ranged 0-9 degrees) and by the iTrace aberration was (4.44 ± 3.42) degrees(ranged 0-13 degrees),there was statistical significant difference (t =-2.321,P =0.025).The mean difference in the error of the Toric intraocular lens alignment measured by iTrace aberration and the slitlamp was (3.67 ± 3.59) degrees (ranged 0-14 degrees).The results showed that there was less than 5 degrees of difference between the two methods in 32 eyes (71.1%),locate 5 to 10 degrees in 9 eyes (20%),more than 10 degrees in 4 eyes (8.9%).The correlation between the 2 methods showed significant linear relationship (r =0.926,P < 0.01).Conclusion Using iTrace aberration can accurately measure Toric intraocular lens alignment without mydriasis,the result has some reference value.

Objective To analyze the reproducibility of keratometry and astigmatism measured by the VERION Digital Guidance System and the comparability of VERION with iTrace,Lenstar LS900 and manual keratometer.Methods The keratometry of 62 cataract patients were measured using four different devices.The steep keratometry (Ks),flat keratometry (Kf),astigmatic magnitude,astigmatic axis,cylinder at 0-degree meridian (vector component,J0) and cylinder at 45-degree meridian (vector component,J45) from each machine were recorded and analyzed.The three repeated measurements and the results of VERION system with other three devices were compared to analyze the reproducibility and comparability of VERION system.Results Reproducibility:Intraclass correlation coefficients and Cronbach's alpha values were higher than 0.9 for Ks,Kf,astigmatic magnitude,astigmatic axis,J0 and J45 measured by the VERION system (all P < 0.001).Comparability:The results of Ks and magnitude of astigmatism of VERION were larger than the iTrace (all P < 0.05) in the paired-samples t test.There was no statistical difference for the rest of parameters (all P > 0.05).The Bland-Altman graphs revealed the 95% limits of agreement (LOA) of J0,J45 and the astigmatic axis between VERION and iTrace were (-0.31-0.35) D,(-0.25-0.31) D and-13.5 °-12.3 °,respectively;There was no statistical differences for all parameters except for J45 in the paired-samples t test between the VERION and Lenstar LS900 (all P > 0.05).The Bland-Altman graphs revealed the 95% LOA of J0,J45 and the astigmatic axis were (-0.25-0.31)D,(-0.27-0.36) D and-13.5°-11.0°,respectively;There were statistical differences for the results of Kf and magnitude of astigmatism between the VERION and manual keratometer (all P < 0.05).The Bland-Altman graphs revealed the 95% LOA of J0,J45 and the astigmatic axis between VERION and manual keratometer were (-0.38-0.35) D,(-0.41-0.42) D,-12.6°-16.4°,respectively.Conclusion The VERION system is a reliable system for the measurement of keratometry and astigmatism.The keratometry and astigmatic magnitude of the VERION system have a good agreement with the iTrace,Lenstar LS900 and manual keratometer.However,the astigmatic axis measurements are significantly different among the four devices.
