Orthostatic hypertension (OHT)in children was first proposed by Chinese scholars in 2012.The diagnostic criterion was revised in 2015.OHT in children was not rare in clinical practice.Children and adolescents are susceptible to OHT when they suddenly change posture or standing for a long time.The mechanisms of OHT were not clear.Dizziness,headache,nausea and vomiting were the main manifestations of OHT.Severe symptom in childhood OHT includes syncope.The prognosis of OHT was good,but the abnormal blood pressure will last to adults.Further study in OHT will help to predict the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and help to evaluate target or-gan injury.The treatment of OHT has been explored,and non -medical treatment is the main option.Study in medical treatment for OHT has not been conducted.Now,the diagnostic criteria in children,epidemiologic status,clinical fea-tures and treatment of OHT were focused to deepen the understanding of OHT in children and improve the clinical standard of the disease.

Objective To studythe preventive effects of modified Dihuang decoction on the relapse of urinary calculus after caiculus removed or destroyed.Methods 306 cases were randomly divided into a trealment group (with 149 cases)and a control group(with 157 cases).The trealment group was interfered with modified Dihuang decoction for 6 years,and the control group was not interfered with any medicine.Observe the relapse number in the two groups.Results There were 8 cases relapsed in the treatment group(5.4%)comparing with 46 cases relapsed in the control group(29.3%),showing a significant difference (P＜0.01).Conclusion Medified Dihuang decoction has apparent effects in preventing relapse of urinary calculus.

OBJECTIVETo observe the impact of electroacupuncture (EA) on the quality of life in the patients of female mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) and evaluate its clinical efficacy.

METHODSEA was adopted in 25 cases of MUI at Zhongliao (BL 33) and Huiyang (BL 35), needle retaining for 30 min each time. The treatment was given once every two days, three treatments a week, totally for 12 weeks of treatment. The incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL), the incontinence impact questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7), the urogenital distress inventory short form (UDI-SF) and the visual analogue scale (VAS) were adopted in the comparison before and after treatment. The efficacy was evaluated.

RESULTSThe curative rate was 52.0% (13/25) and the total effective rate was 96.0% (24/25) in 25 cases. In comparison before and after treatment, in I-QOL, the score of limiting behaviors was increased up to (30.32 ± 3.39) from (11.52 ± 2.45), the score of psychosocial impacts was up to (36.48 ± 2.90) from (13.52 ± 2.25) and the score of social isolation was up to (21.52 ± 1.61) from (9.84 ± 2.23). The score of IIQ-7 was decreased, down to (2.48 ± 1.36) from (11.96 ± 3.45), the score of UDI-SF was down to (2.92 ± 0.95) from (8.84 ± 2.58) and VAS score was down to (1.40 ± 0.91) from (6.96 ± 1.65). The differences were all significant statistically in comparison (all P < 0.05).

Enthusiasm is an intrinsic motive that drives the ethical and moral aspects of nursing practice.Love is the source of enthusiasm.An enthusiastic nurse loves life,work and patients.Loving patients is essential to inflame passion for patient care.A desire for and pursuits of benevolence is the key to enthusiasm.Only the element of benevolence integrated into enthusiasm can nurses arouse a sense of compassion,responsibility and honour,which is then advanced to the realm of humanitarian-Heal the Wounded,Rescue the Dying.The essence of enthusiasm is sincerity,that is,providing patients wholehearted care rather than hypocritical act.Caring for patients is based on goodwill and altruism.Enthusiasm is also the driving force for nurses' creativity.It inspires a positive life,pushes to pursue self-actualization and propels continuous creation.

OBJECTIVETo verify the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) for female stress urinary incontinence (SU).

METHODSForty-two patients were randomly divided into an observation group(20 cases) and a control group (22 cases). EA at Zhongliao (BL 33) and Huiyang (BL 35) was used in the observation group. Sham acupuncture at non meridian points, one can beside Zhongliao (BL 33) and Huiyang (BL 35), was applied, and placebo EA was adopted in the control group. Treatment with needle retained for 30 min a time was given once every other day and three times a week for continuous six weeks in the two groups. Urinary and reproductive simple score (UDI),visual analogue scale (VAS) and the frequency of nocturnal enuresis were observed before treatment, at the second, forth and sixth week of treatment in the two groups, and the efficacy was compared.

RESULTSThe effective rates of the observation group were 80.0% (16/20), 95.0% (19/20) and 95.0% (19/20), which were better than 40.9% (9/22), 31.8% (7/22) and 27.3% (6/22) of the control group at the second, forth and sixth week of treatment. The differences were statistically significant between the two groups (all P < 0.05). After treatment in the observation group, the results of UDI, VAS and frequency of nocturnal enuresis were improved compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). Along with treatment, all indices were gradually improved, and the change at the sixth week was the most obvious in observation group. The results of the observation group were better than those of the control group at all times (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONEA achieves obvious effect for female SUI, and effectively improves the lower urinary trace symptoms, the degree of urinary incontinence and the frequency of nocturnal enuresis. The effect becomes increasingly better along with treatment within six weeks.

Objective The effect of fertilizer application on yield and quality of Notopterygium forbesii was studied in order to provide a theoretical basis for high quality and yield planting.Methods With various nitrogenous(N) and phosphorous(P) fertilizer formula,the field tests were carried out to determine the yield,extract content,and essential oil content,from the root of N.forbesill.Results Showed that various proportion of fertilizer had a great affect on yield,extract content,and essential oil content,and the treatment with N2P2 was the highest.The yield in the treatment with N2P2 increased 43.33%,the extract content increased 17.95%,and the essential oil content increased 43.48% as compared with CK.Different rates of fertilizer application had a certain effect on weight and diameter in the root of N.forbesii,and the N2P2 was the best.Each treatment had a significant effect on diameter in the root of N.forbesii in comparision with CK.Conclusion Amount and ratio of N and P fertilizers have a greater influence on the yield and quality,while improper application could reduce the yield and quality.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen on the postoperative cognitive function in aged mice.Methods Sixty aged male Kunming mice,aged 12-14 months,weighing 35-45 g,were assigned into 3 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group Sham),partial hepatectomy group (group PH) and partial hepatectomy plus hydrogen-enriched saline group (group PH-H).On preoperative day 3,during operation and on postoperative day 3,hydrogen-enriched saline 10 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day in group PH-H,and the equal volume of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected once a day in S and PH groups.The spatial probe test was performed on postoperative day 7 to evaluate the cognitive function.Ten mice were selected on postoperative days 3 and 7 (after the end of the spatial probe test),and blood samples were collected for determination of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-lbeta (IL-1β) and high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The animals were sacrificed after blood sampling,brains were removed and hippocampi were isolated for detection of the expression of TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 by Western blot.Results Compared with group S,the percentage of time of staying at the target quadrant and the number of crossing the platform within 1 min were significantly decreased,the serum concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 were increased,and the expression of hippocampal TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 was up-regulated in group PH (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the variables mentioned above in group PH-H (P＞0.05).Compared with group PH,the percentage of time of staying at the target quadrant and the number of crossing the platform within 1 min were significantly increased,the serum concentrations of TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 were decreased,and the expression of hippocampal TNF-α,IL-1β and HMGB1 was down-regulated in group PH-H (P＜0.05).Conclusion Hydrogen can improve the postoperative cognitive function in aged inice.

Objective To compare the effect and safety of endoscopic duodenal papillal incision combined dilatation(ESBD) and endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST) in the treatment of common bile duct stone.Methods A retrospective analysis of 71 cases of choledocholithiasis,according to surgical methods,were divided into group EST (45 cases) and group ESBD (26 cases).The effect and safety of the above two kinds of treatment was evaluated through observing the rate of one-time stone clearance and postoperative complications.Results The success rate of removing calculous of the two groups was above 95%,and there was no significant difference between the two kinds of treatment(EST and ESBD)(P>0.05).Recent complications:the incidence rate of hemorrhage of the EST group was 0.0%,which of the ESBD group was 3.8%,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence rate of postoperative pancreatitis of the EST group was 8.8%,which the ESBD group was 3.8%,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The diameter of the removed stone of the two groups:the EST group was (0.70±0.35)cm,and the ESBD group was (1.41±0.69)cm,there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion There are no significant differences in early complications and the success rate of removing stone between the EST group and the ESBD group.However,ESBD preserved teat sphincter's physiological barrier function to the greatest extent and the diameter of the removed stone was obviously larger than the EST group.Therefore,it is much safer for those who have quite large common bile duct stone or people who are with joint periampullary diverticulum to be treated by ESBD.

Objective To evaluate the change of elasticity of rabbit liver following portal inflow vessels occlusion using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI). Methods Twelve Japanese white big ear rabbits were used to establish total hepatic vascular exclusion animal models by occluding the portal inflow vessels. The elasticity of rabbits' right liver was detected during the stages of baseline(T0), 5 min(T1),20min(T2) ,30min (T3)after occluding the portal inflow vessels using ARFI respectively. The elasticity of rabbit liver, levels of serum's aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and historical results of hepatic tissue during different stage were compared. Results Shear wave velocity(Vs)of rabbits' right livers in T2 was significantly higher than that in T0 ( P ＜0.05) and Vs of rabbits' right livers in T3 was significantly higher than that in T2 ( P ＜0.05). No significant differences of serum's AST,ALT levels between T2 and T0 were found,while the Vs of rabbit live in T2 was slightly higher than that in T0 (P＞0.05), serum's AST, ALT levels in T3 were significantly higher than that in T2 ( P ＜0.05).Historical changes of liver ischemia and injury were observed in T2 and T3 with light microscopy. Conclusions The liver ischemia and injury severity can be accurately and objectively evaluated using ARFI.

Objective To investigate the effects of different high-fat diet feeding time durations on blood glucose (BG), insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR), and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)in rats with high fat diet-induced type 2 diabetic nephropathy(DN). Methods Unilateral renal artery ligation, high-fat diet(throughout the ex-periment period),and low dose streptozotocin(STZ)intraperitoneal injection were used to establish a type 2 DN rat mod-el. After the operation,rats in the DN1 and DN2 groups received an intraperitoneal injection of STZ 30 mg/kg after 4 and 8 weeks of high-fat diet feeding,respectively. UAERs of the DN1 and DN2 groups were compared at 4 weeks after the STZ injection and the end of study(EOS). BG,body weight,HOMA-IR,kidney index,and pathological changes of the kidney were observed. Results UAER was increased in both groups at 4 weeks after the STZ injection,but significantly higher in the group DN2 than in the DN1 group(P<0.01). At the end of study(the 12th week),the renal tissues showed patho-logical changes,including glomerular capillary loop hypertrophy,increased mesangial matrix,and decreased capsule space in both groups. Compared with the DN1 group,the body weight was significantly higher(P<0.01),kidney index was sig-nificantly lower(P<0.01),while BG,serum insulin level,HOMA-IR,and UAER were no significantly changed in the DM2 group(P>0.05,respectively). Conclusions The results show that extending the feeding time of high-fat diet can aggravate the kidney damages in diabetic rats,but it can also delay the start of any planned intervention. Therefore,the ex-perimental protocol should be carefully designed based on the study objective.
