Objective To explore the effect of tracing methodology on nursing management of cardiology department. Methods From January 2014 to December 2016, the two departments were divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group, 81 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing management, and the observation group was given tracing methodological nursing management. The two groups were compared in terms of basic care pass rate, incidence of adverse care events, patient's satisfaction level. Result The prevalence of basic nursing care of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control, the incidence of nursing adverse events was significantly lower and the patient's satisfaction level was significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusion In the department of cardiology, the tracing methodology can effectively improve the quality of clinical nursing and patient 's nursing satisfaction.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of methimazole combined with selenium therapy in the treatment of hyperthyroidism .Methods 130 cases with hyperthyroidism were selected , and according to the digital table they were randomly divided into methimazole plus selenium treatment group ( ATD +Se group ) and methimazole treatment group(ATD group),65 cases in each group.The patients were followed up for 3 months.The thyroid function index and thyroid antibody index were observed before and after treatment .The adverse reactions were observed,too.Results After treatment,the serum levels of FT3,FT4,TSH in the ATD +Se group were (3.32 ± 0.53)pg/mL,(1.02 ±0.17)ng/dL,(2.72 ±0.32)mIU/L,respectively,which in the ATD group were (4.82 ± 0.75)pg/mL,(2.41 ±0.32)ng/dL,(2.72 ±0.32)mIU/L,respectively.The change ranges of the ATD +Se group were better than those of the ATD group ,the differences were statistically significant (t=4.591,3.814,3.567,all P<0.05).The TPOAb,TGAb,TRAb in the ATD+Se group were (120.3 ±23.1) IU/mL,(123.3 ±26.5) IU/mL, (1.72 ±0.89)IU/mL,respectively,which in the ATD group were (132.8 ±21.1)IU/mL,(134.8 ±21.3)IU/mL, (3.68 ±1.06)IU/mL,respectively.The changes of the ATD+Se group were more significant than those of the ATD group,the differences were statistically significant (t=4.291,3.514,3.767,all P<0.05 ).The total effective rate of the ATD+Se group was higher than that of the ATD group (90.77%vs.76.92%χ2 =13.147,P<0.05 ).The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the ATD +Se group was lower than that in the ATD group (12.31%vs.27.69%χ2 =18.685,P<0.05 ).Conclusion The results suggest that methimazole combined with selenium treatment is effective and safe for hyperthyroidism .

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate whether autophagy mediates the effects of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) on the proliferation of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts cultured in high glucose.
METHODS:
Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from neonatal (within 3 days) SD rats and subcultured. The fibroblasts of the third passage, after identification with immunofluorescence staining for vimentin, were treated with 5.5 mmol/L glucose (control group), 30 mmol/L glucose (high glucose group), or 30 mmol/L glucose in the presence of Alda-1 (an ALDH2 agonist), daidzin (an ALDH2 2 inhibitor), or both. Western blotting was employed to detect ALDH2, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B subunit (LC3B) and Beclin-1 in the cells, and a hydroxyproline detection kit was used for determining hydroxyproline content in cell culture medium; CCK- 8 kit was used for assessing the proliferation ability of the cardiac fibroblasts after the treatments.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control cells, the cells exposed to high glucose exhibited obviously decreased expressions of ALDH2, Beclin-1 and LC3B and increased cell number and hydroxyproline content in the culture medium. Treatment of the high glucose-exposed cells with Alda-1 significantly increased Beclin-1, LC3B, and ALDH2 protein expressions and lowered the cell number and intracellular hydroxyproline content, whereas the application of daidzin resulted in reverse changes in the expressions of ALDH2, Beclin-1 and LC3B, viable cell number and intracellular hydroxyproline content in high glucose-exposed cells.
CONCLUSIONS
Mitochondrial ALDH2 inhibits the proliferation of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts induced by high glucose, and the effect is possibly mediated by the up-regulation of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3B.
