?AlM: To evaluate the expressions and significances of endoplasmic reticulum stress related protein ( BlP ) , hypoxia-inducible factor-1α ( HlF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in the retina of diabetic rats.
?METHODS:Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley ( SD) rats were chosen and divided randomly into 6 groups:normal control 2mo (C2m, n = 12), diabetes mellitus 2mo (D2m, n=12), normal control 4mo (C4m, n=12), diabetes mellitus 4mo (D4m, n = 12), normal control 6mo (C6m, n=12) and diabetes mellitus 6mo (D6m, n=12 ) . The diabetes mellitus mouse were induced by intraperitoneal injection of 0. 1mol/L streptozotocin (STZ, 65mg/kg). The expression of BlP, HlF-1α and VEGF in the retina were detected by enzyme- linked immuno sorbent assay. The location of BlP, HlF-1α and VEGF in epiretinal membranes were investigated by immunohistochemistry staining.
?RESULTS: BlP were significantly increase than control groups in all DM groups with the course of diabetes ( P<0. 01). HlF-1α were detected higher than control groups in all DM groups (P< 0. 05), but there was no statistical significance among treatment groups. VEGF in D4m and D6m groups were higher than control groups (P<0. 05), and there was statistical significance between D4m and D6m groups. BlP can be detected in control groups a little, mainly in the inner limiting membrane and ganglion cell layers. HlF - 1α cannot be detected in control groups, meanwhile it can be detected in all layers in DM. VEGF can be detected in control groups a little, it mainly be detected in inner nuclear layer, outer nuclear layer, around retinal vessel and ganglion cell layers in DM groups.
?CONCLUSlON:The expressions of BlP, HlF-1α and VEGF increase in the retina of diabetic rats than control groups with progressive of diabetes mellitus, both endoplasmic reticulum stress and HlF-1α signal path play important role in the progress of diabetic retinopathy.

To set up a new method of detecting bacterial number in situ,NADH fluorescence method based on the fluorescent characteristic of NADH was used.When the concentration of NADH ranged from 10 nmol/L to 0.2 mmol/L,its concentration had a good line relationship to the fluorescence intensity(R2= 0.9905).Separating bacterial cells by centrifugation and extracting NADH with hot Tris-HCl buffer,the re-sult of bacterial count detected with NADH standard plot was 1?104 CFU/mL in an hour.In summary,NADH fluorescence method is rapid,sensitive,simple and reliable to detect total bacterial number.There-fore,the method can be widely applied in the field of food sanitation and safety,environment detection and so on.

This study was aimed to investigate the mechanism of CO-releasing molecules (CORM-2) induced apoptosis and the intervention effect of Xingnaojing (XNJ) Injection in neuronal cells of rats. Optical microscope was applied to observe morphologic changes of neuronal cells. MTT assay was performed to assess the survival rates of CORM-2 on neuronal cells. Apoptosis was examined by flow cytometric analysis and the expression of relative proteins was measured by western blotting analysis. At the same time the morphologic changes, survival rates and expression of relative proteins of neuronal cells were also checked after XNJ treatment. The results showed that CORM-2 can influence survival rates in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Survival rates decreased gradually after the cultures subjected to 24 h with 100 μmol·L-1, 200 μmol·L-1, 400 μmol·L-1 and 800 μmol·L-1 of CORM-2. It can induce neuronal apoptosis and activate Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cytochrome C in a concentration-dependent manner. The neuronal cells were treated with 200 μmol·L-1 of CORM-2 and then incubated with 10 mL·L-1 and 20 mL·L-1 XNJ injection for 20 h. It turned out early neuronal apoptosis decreased and the expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cytochrome C also decreased. To sum up, CORM-2 may induce neuronal apoptosis through Caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway, which can be intervened by XNJ Injection through inhibiting Caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway.

Objective To enhance the quality and efficiency of the outpatient cashier service.Methods A comprehensive outpatient cashier management system based on RFID was developed and put into use.Results The system could be used in outpatient cashier department for attendance checking,schedule management,bonus distribution,personnel management,data statistics and report printing.Conclusion The comprehensive outpatient cashier management system can improve the efficiency of the outpatient department.

Through analyzing the data of ectopic thyroid glands, to know this kind of congenital lesion deeply. In all the cases, parathyroid gland types were more than aberrant thyroid types; the majority cases were single ectopic thyroid; most of ectopic thyroid were present in the neck and mouth; local mass was the most common symptom; adenoma was often associated with ectopic thyroid and there was a high proportion of combined malignant; most cases could not be correctly diagnosed.

OBJECTIVE To decrease the infection rate in intensive care unit(ICU) effectively. METHODS To analyze the reason of infection in ICU,such as the infection of respiratory tract,the infection of urinary system,the vascular infection after therapy,and the infection of alimentary tract,and to raise the control measure of nursing. RESULTS To pay attention to the arrangement and setting in ICU,the implementation of the regulation of nursing strictly, the intravascular therapy,the correct realizing of nursing procedure,and the reinforcement of nursing management,in order to keep the low infection rate. CONCLUSIONS All nursing measure raised/above is very useful for the hospital infection control in ICU.

Objective To explore the characteristics of electrocardiographic (ECG) changes after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods Changes in ECGs of 215 patients after transcatheter closure of VSD from 2002 to 2004 were studied. Results The ECGs of all 215 patients were normal before operation while after operation, ECGs remained normal in 137 patients but 78 patients turned out to be abnormal. Transient atrioventricular interference dissociation occurred in 17 patients and their ECGs recovered to normal after 5 days. Left anterior bundle branch block occurred in another 17 patients and 15 of them returned to normal state 6 days after the procedure. Either right bundle block or left one occurred in 22 patients and their ECGs remained abnormal until they were discharged from the hospital. Advanced or Ⅲ? atrioventricular block occurred in 11 patients, 9 of them returned to normal state, but 2 patients required pocemaker implantation. Conclusion Transcatheter closure of VSD interferes the cardiac conducting system. Most patients can restore normal state, but few may leave behind sequelce.
