Objective To identify the influencing factors for pediatric nursese' reporting of adverse events at 3A hospitals in Beijing. Methods Adopting the random sampling of ten 3A hospitals with pediatric wards in Beijing and conducting an questionnaire survey of some nurses in those hospitals. Results The possibility of adverse events reporting increased with the awareness of adverse events which was related with their severity. Except for title, educational background, length of service, position and past experiences were not associated with the barriers. The major perceived barrier was fear of colleague relationship brokenup and some other undesirable consequence. Conclusions Better training of awareness of adverse events and changes of the punitive culture by the roots as well as some regulation or policy were the major solutions to improve incident reporting.

Object To study the microwave assisted procedure for the extraction of baicalin from root of Scutellariae baicalensis Georgi Methods An MSP 100D domestically made microwave sample preparation system with a maximum power of 850 watts was used. The effects of solvents, pressure/temperature of solvents and microwave radiation time on the yield of baicalin were studied by orthogonal experimental design. Results The optimal experimental conditions were extraction at 70% of microwave power with 30 times of 35% ethanol at a constant heating pressure/temperature of 0.15 MPa for 30 s. Conclusion The microwave assisted extraction not only takes a shorter time with better parallel results, but also gave an increased yield of about 10% as compared with ultrasonic extraction.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of pre-malignant and malignant polyps in postmenopausal patients and to evaluate the diagnositic value of hysteroscopy in this disease. Methods From June 2005 to October 2014, 403 postmenopausal patients with polyps were treated in the Gynecologic Minimally Invasive Center, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. There were 27 patients including 22 patients with pre-malignant and 5 patients with malignant polyps. All malignant lesions were endometrioid adenocarcinoma. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Based on pathology, the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy was evaluated. Results (1) Clinical characteristics: there were 27 cases with pre-malignant and malignant polyps (group 1) and 376 cases with benign polyps (group 2). Compared the two groups, the average age was (60 ± 8) vs (58 ± 6) years old, the period of menopause was (9.8 ± 8.1) vs (8.3 ± 6.9) years. Thirteen cases (48.1%, 13/27) in group 1 and 159 cases (42.3%, 159/376) in group 2 had clinical symptoms including postmenopausal bleeding and vaginal discharge. Twelve cases (44.4%, 12/27) in group 1 and 140 cases (37.2%, 140/376) in group 2 were with hypertension. Five cases (18.5%, 5/27) in group 1 and 43 cases (11.4%, 43/376) in group 2 were with diabetes. The measures above were no significant differences(P>0.05)(2) Ultrasound features:the average thick of endometrium in group 1 and group 2 were respectively (1.3±0.7) and (0.8±0.4) cm, which had statistical significance (t=4.98, P=0.001). (3) Hysteroscopic diagnosis:the average diameters of polyp in group 1 and group 2 were respectively (2.4 ± 1.0) and (1.6 ± 1.0) cm, which had statistical significance (t=2.93, P=0.004). Six cases in group 1 were diagnosed by hysteroscopy including 4 cases of malignant polyp and 2 cases of pre-malignant polyp. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and the accuracy were 22.2%(6/27), 100.0%(376/376), 100.0%(6/6), 94.7%(376/397) and 94.8%(382/403), respectively. Conclusions Pre-malignant and malignant endometrial polyps are more common in the subjects with the larger diameters and the thicker endometrium. All polyps should be under complete resection by hysteroscopy and through pathology examination.

To experimentally evaluate the ectopic osteogenetic capacity of synthesized BMP2-derived peptide P24 combined with poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), Wistar rats were divided into two groups: group A, in which BMP2-derived peptide P24/PLGA complex was implanted, and group B which received simple PLGA implant. The complex was respectively implanted into the back muscles of rats. Samples were taken the 1st, 4th, 8th, and the 12th week after the implantation. Their bone formation was detected by X-ray examination, and tissue response was histologically observed. Western blotting was used for the detection of the expression of collagen I (Col-I) and osteopontin (OPN). There was acute inflammation in the tissue around both types of implants at early stage. The cartilage was found around implant areas 4 weeks after the implantation of BMP2-derived peptide p24/PLGA complex, 8 weeks after the implantation, osteoblasts were found, and 12 weeks after the implantation, typical trabecular bone structure was observed. In group B, after 12 weeks, no osteoblasts were found. It is concluded that PLGA is an ideal scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. BMP2-derived peptide can start endochondral ossification and is more effective in inducing ectopic osteogenesis.

BACKGROUND:Intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA)has been used as one common method in the treatment of osteoarthritis. But its application in treating Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is generalizing. The effect of HA on chondrocyte metabolism in KBD patients remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of HA on the synthesis of collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan in KBD chondrocytes cultured in vitro to understand its clinical treatment for KBD.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Comparative observation. The experiment was performed in the Laboratory Center of Biomedicine and Endemic Disease Laboratory of College of Medicine,Xi'an Jiaotong University from September 2006 to January 2009.MATERIALS:Samples of KBD were from cartilage and corpus liberum excised from 6 KBD patients undergoing knee joint operation,and normal samples of fresh knee cartilages were provided by 6 people undergoing amputation or death by accident METHODS:Chondrocytes of KBD and normal control were separated and cultured in vitro. Varying dosages of HA (100,500 gm/L) were administered to normal and KBD chondrocytes cultured in vitro for 6 days. Negative control was not treated with HA.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Effects of HA on collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan mRNA expression in KBD patients and normal people by RT-PCR.RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,the mRNA level of collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan were lower in KBD (P＜0.05).After administration of HA (100,500 mg/L) the mRNA level of collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan were significantly increased,and the effects of 500 mg/L was more significant.CONCLUSION:HA can increase the collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan mRNA level of KBD chondrocytes cultured in vitro. In particular,500 mg/L HA significantly promoted chondrocyte metabolism compared with 100 mg/L HA.
