Objective To observe the effect of Dezocine in preventing the adverse reactions during the operation of cesarean delivery.Methods We selected 60 pregnant women in the ASA level Ⅰ who were going to undergo the operation of cesarean delivery.Then we divided them into two groups in random:group A (studying group) and group B (control group),each group had 30 patients.After the fetus were delivered,the patients in group A were given intravenous injection of 1mg of dezocine,and the patients in group B were only given 1 ml saline.Then we observe the heart rate (HR),systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the degree of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) in seven time points,and analyzed the incidence of contraction pains,chills,nausea and vomiting during the operation in both groups.The time points were when patients entered the operation room (T0),the level of anesthesia was established (T1),5 minutes after fetus were delivered (T2),10 minutes after fetus were delivered (T3),15 minutes after fetus were delivered (T4),30 minutes after fetus were delivered (T5) and the end of operation (T6).Results Compared with group A,the SBP at T2,T3 and T4 were obviously higher than those in group B (P＜0.05).And the HR increased at T2 to T6 in control group (P＜0.05) as compared with group A.The incidence of contraction pains were milder in group A than group B (P＜0.05).In group A,the incidence of chills was13.3％,and in group B,the rate was 30％.Conclusion Dezocine can prevent the adverse reactions during the operation of cesarean delivery.

Objective To investigate the changes of platelet aggregation rate and platelet surface CD 41+CD62P+ expression af-ter clopidogrel discontinuation in the patients with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)) .Methods The platelet aggregation rates and platelet surface CD41+CD62P+ in 52 PCI patients with oral clopidogrel for near 12 months and discontinuation soon were measured before clopidogrel therapy(T0 ) ,in 1 week after clopidogrel therapy(T1 ) ,1 week before clopidogrel discontinuation(T2 ) , 1 week(T3 ) and 1 month after clopidogrel discontinuation (T4 ) .Results Compared with T0 ,the platelet aggregation rate and the expression of platelet CD41+CD62P+ at T1 were significantly decreased ,the difference showing statistical significance (P<0 .05) , which at T2 maintained the lower levels ;which at T3 were increased ,which at T4 were recovered to those at T0 .The platelet aggre-gation rates at various time points were (44 .20 ± 18 .36)% ,(25 .38 ± 12 .10)% ,(23 .74 ± 8 .15)% ,(51 .79 ± 10 .55)% and(45 .97 ± 16 .42)% respectively ,and the positive rates of CD41+ CD62P+ were(12 .96 ± 11 .48)% ,(3 .93 ± 3 .33)% ,(4 .72 ± 3 .14)% , (13 .90 ± 10 .38)% and(10 .84 ± 8 .13)% ,respectively .Conclusion In the patients treated with 12-month clopidogrel after PCI ,the platelet aggregation rate and the CD41+CD62P+ positive rate are mildly increased at 1 week after clopidogrel discontinuation and gradually returned to the level before discontinuation at 1 month after clopidogrel discontinuation .

BACKGROUND: Following trauma caused by seawater, cells often exhibit special pathological changes because of the special physico-chemical properties of seawater.OBJECTIVE: To observe corneal histopathological changes and interleukin-6 level in aqueous humor of a rabbit model of penetrating corneal trauma combined with seawater immersion.METHODS: The rabbit eye models of penetrating corneal trauma caused by firecrackers were established in 16 adult healthy grey rabbits. A 3-mm whole-layer incision was made in the cornea. The right eyes served as experimental sides and the left eyes served as controls. Seawater was injected into the aqueous humor of the right eyes via the corneal incision. The eye surface was flushed with seawater for 30 minutes. Physiological saline was used for the left eyes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Optical microscopy results showed that at 1, 2, 3 days after model establishment, corneal cells on the experimental side exhibited severe necrosis and abscission, obvious swelling of substantia propria layer complicated by cellular infiltration. At 1 and 2 days after model establishment, the pathological changes on the control side were the same as the experimental side, but they were mild, but at 3 and 5 days, they were obviously alleviated. At 1, 2, 3 days after model establishment, interleukin-6 level in aqueous humor was significantly higher on the experimental side than on the control side (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the degree of injury on the experimental side was more severe than that on the control side, indicating that seawater may be an important causative factor of corneal injury.

Objective To take Ebola virus disease (EVD) as an example and analyze the capability of responding to emerging infectious diseases among medical university students in Chongqing city.Methods Medical university students of 2 094 in Chongqing were selected and investigated by cluster sampling.Questionnaire content includes social demographic information,knowledge,attitude,practice (KAP) and related factors about EVD.The variables of the respondents were described using mean and standard deviation for continuous variables and frequency distributions for categorical variables.Influencing factors were analyzed by using multiple-linear regression model.Results The average scores of KAP regarding EVD were 9.51 ±-3.97,5.93± 1.85,3.35 ±1.43,respectively.Multiple-linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of KAP regarding EVD were gender (x2 =0.773,P=0.000),residence (x2 =0.886,P=0.014) and health habits (x2 =0.316,P=0.008);gender (x2 =0.474,P=0.000),grade (x2 =0.118,P=0.024),residence (x2 =0.401,P=0.016) and health habits (x2 =0.307,P=0.000);gender (x2 =0.223,P=0.001),major (x2 =0.152,P=0.000) and health habits (x2 =0.231,P=0.000).Conclusion The capability of responding to emerging infectious diseases is not optimistic among medical university students.Medical universities should perform effective intervention according to the characters of different clusters.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the cognition of medical staff for adverse drug reactions(ADR). METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among the physicians,nurses and pharmacists with different profes-sional titles in our hospital to investigate their cognition about ADR concept,their judgment for ADR and ADR reporting,and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULTS:Totally 452 questionnaires were sent out,and 439 were effectively re-ceived,with effective rate of 97.12%. In terms of correct cognition rate about ADR basic concept and the main reasons,the sur-veyed pharmacists were higher than physicians and nurses,the senior professional titles of surveyed pharmacists were higher than the intermediate and junior,the pharmacists with senior professional titles were the highest and the junior were the lowest,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of the proportion of certain for ADR judgment,the surveyed nurses were lower than pharmacists and physicians,the surveyed physicians with senior and intermediate professional titles were higher the ju-nior,the surveyed nurses with intermediate titles were higher than the junior,the surveyed pharmacists with senior professional ti-tles were higher than the intermediate and the junior,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of cognition about ADR reporting,the surveyed pharmacists were the highest and the nurses were the lowest,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while in terms of the proportion of knowing ADR reporting timing limit,reporting procedures and depart-ments,the surveyed pharmacists and physicians with junior professional titles were lower than the senior and intermediate,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of reasons for missed ADR reporting,the proportion of consideration of the risk of causing medical disputes for doctors of the surveyed physicians was higher than pharmacists and nurses,while the sur-veyed nurses showed higher proportion for doing not understand reporting procedures,doing not reporting,thinking ADR reporting was dispensable and uncertain for ADR identification,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Medical staff with different professional titles and occupations have different cognition about ADR basic concept,judgment and re-porting,the pharmacist are relatively good,followed by the physician and nurse,especially the nurse,and the medical staff with junior professional titles are relatively poor. It is necessary to strengthen ADR education and training for them,play professional ad-vantages from the pharmacist and optimize ADR reporting procedures to improve the reporting rate and quality of ADR.

Objective To analyze the differential expression of caveolin-2 in the psoriasis vulgaris and normal skin tissues, and investigate the relationship between caveolin-2 and the development of psoriasis vulgaris. Methods The expression of caveolin-2 mRNA and protein in psoriasis vulgaris patients and normal skin tissues were detected by quantitative PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot respectively. Results The quantitative PCR showed that the expression of caveolin-2 mRNA significantly decreased in the psoriasis vulgaris skin tissues when compared with the normal skin tissues (P < 0.01). The immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the caveolin-2 protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of the basal layer cells in the normal skin tissues, but the caveolin-2 protein was not expressed in the lesions of psoriasis vulgaris. And the results of Western blot showed that the expression of caveolin-2 protein was significantly reduced in the psoriasis vulgaris skin tissues compared with the normal skin tissues. Conclusion The expression of caveolin-2 was reduced or lost in lesional epidermis of psoriasis vulgaris patients, which may serve as an aetiological factor in the development and or progression of psoriasis.
