The properties of polyethyleneimine-cholesterol cationic lipopolymer (PEI-Chol) as gene carries and its gene transfer efficiency in vitro with lipid microbubbles were presented in this paper. PEI-Chol lipopolymer was synthesized by linking cholesterol chloroformate to the amino groups of branched poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) of 1 800. The structure and molecular weight of PEI-Chol were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and MADI-TOF-MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry), respectively. The average molecular weight of PEI-Chol was approximately 2 000. The gene delivery system of bubble/PEI-Chol/DNA was constructed by mixed PEI-Chol/pDNA (N/P 10:1) complexes with lipid microbubbles (2-8 microm) which were prepared by DPPC, DSPE-PEG2000 and perfluoropropane with the reverse phase evaporation technique. pEGFP-Cl (enhanced green fluorescent protein) was used as report gene to investigate the DNA condensing ability of PEI-Chol lipopolymer by agarose gel electrophoresis. And their cytotoxicity and in vitro transfer efficiency of different complexes were compared with each other in A549 and MCF-7. The results indicated PEI-Chol lipopolymer can condense plasmid DNA when N/P ratio upto 4, PEI-Chol complexes and bubble/PEI-Chol/DNA complexes were nontoxic to A549 and MCF-7 when formulated at the N/P ratio of 10/1 as determined by MTT assay. This bubble/PEI-Chol/DNA delivery system provided good transfer efficiency with other desirable characteristics such as against-precipitation of plasma proteins. In conclusion, bubble/PEI-Chol/DNA complex is a novel non-viral gene delivery system.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Gongjinkang Effervescent Tablets and to establish a method of quality control for this tablets.METHODS:The Gongjinkang Effervescent Tablets was prepared with mixture of purified powdered extract from6kinds of traditional Chinese medicine such as Flos Mume and Borneol,Sodium bicarbonate,tartaric acid,etc.;the Flos Mume,Phellodendron and borneol were identified by the TLC;the content of berberine hydrochloride was determined by TLC-scanning.RESULTS:The TLC chraomatogram spots were clear and no interference was found in the negative reference;the linear range of berberine hydrochloride on calibration curve was0.174?g～1.044?g(r=0.9995),the average recovery was98.01%～100.80%and RSD

Objective To investigate the effect of depression on the incidence of osteoporosis in patients with maintenance peritoneal dialysis (MPD).Methods We enrolled 80 MPD patients,who underwent peritoneal dialysis in our dialysis center.The clinical data and biochemical parameters of all patients were collected,bone mineral density was detected and the Self-rating depression scale was used to evaluate depression state.Results Among the 80 enrolled MPD patients,34 patients had osteoporosis (42.5％),48 patients had the presence of depression (60％).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,dialysis age,gender,diabetes history and depression state were the risk factors for osteoporosis in MPD patients,the depression state was negatively correlated with BMD of lumbar and femoral neck (r=-0.347,r=0.426,P＜0.05).Conclusion Depression state may be a risk factor for osteoporosis in clinic,it is of great significance to focus on the psychological state of MPD patients in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective To summarize the nursing for acute epididymitis within intermittent catheterization. Methods From August, 2013 to February, 2016, twelve patients suffering acute epididymitis within intermittent catheterization after spinal cord injury were reviewed. Re-sults Epididymitis was cured in all the patients after retention catheterization, psychological nuring, diet and drinking guide, reasonable drug use, etc. Conclusion Acute epididymitis within intermittent catheterization can be controlled by appropriate medication and nursing.

Objective To investigate the relationship of insulin resistance and secretion during late pregnancy in women with glucose intolerance.Methods Immunoenzymetric assay was used to measure the fasting serum insulin levels in 122 pregnant women which including of 36 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),34 pregnant women with gestational impaired glucose tolerance(GIGT),and 52 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance(NGT).The fasting plasma glucose levels were measured by glucose oxidase method.The insulin sensitivity index(ISI) and islet secretive function index(IFI) were compared between the three groups.Results ISI had an increasing trend from NGT group,GIGT group to GDM group(P

Objective To explore the effectiveness of plan-do-check-action (PDCA) cycle in the management of teaching quality of reha-bilitation nurse. Methods From March, 2014 to March, 2015, 108 nurses were recruited in three terms. PDCA cycle was applied in the man-agement. Problems existing in their nursing work and nursing continuing education were investigated and analyzed, then improved in the next term. Results The teaching satisfactions were 86.12%, 90.13%, and 93.32%, respectively. The scores of theoretical examination, opera-tion examination and Power Point report gradually increased in nurses of three terms. Conclusion The application of PDCA cycle is effec-tive in the management of teaching quality of rehabilitation nurse.

BACKGROUND: Studies have reported that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can promote accelerated healing of pressure injury. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of PRP on pressure injury of patients with spinal cord injury. METHODS: From July 2017 to December 2019, 40 patients with spinal cord injury complicated by stage 3 and stage 4 pressure ulcers were randomly divided into a PRP group (n=20) and a control group (n=20) using a random number table. Patients in the control group were given routine wound care and standardized rehabilitation treatment, whereas those in the PRP group received PRP treatment based on routine wound care and standardized rehabilitation treatment once a week. The surface area, wound type and exudate volume were assessed by pressure ulcer scale for healing (PUSH) before treatment and 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks after treatment. The total PUSH score, score of each item in the PUSH scale, and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. An ethical approval was obtained from the Biomedical Ethics Committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, with an approval No. 2019(622). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The total PUSH score and scores in terms of wound area, type, and exudate volume were significantly reduced after treatment in the PRP group (P < 0.01), while those scores in the control group were also significantly reduced at 6 and 8 weeks after treatment (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the total PUSH score and scores on exudate volume were significantly lower in the PRP group at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after treatment, and the scores on wound type were significantly lower in the PRP group at 6 and 8 weeks after treatment. The healing rate in the PRP group was 100% after treatment, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (35%; P < 0.001). These findings indicate that PRP treatment contributes to the recovery of pressure injury in patients with spinal cord injury.
