Objective To evaluate the effect of the optimized flowchart for collecting and inputting the vital signs data using the latest mobile nursing information system,intensive care information system and multiple life parameter monitor.Methods Daily average total time for collecting and inputting vital signs data was calculated by using the working hours measurement and the minimum estimation method.Then the matched-pairs design was used to select 100 patients at random from 4 wards,whose vital signs data were collected and input by the nurses of different working time.The time for collecting and inputting the data before optimizing the flowchart was compared to that after optimizing the flowchart.Results The time for collecting and inputting the data of vital signs before the use of optimized flowchart was significantly shorter than that after using the flowchart.The time was shortened by 24.4 h every day on average if the latest mobile nursing information system was used together with the intensive care information system and the time by 154.1 h if the latest mobile nursing information system was used together with the intensive care information system and multiple life parameter monitor.Conclusion The optimized flowchat for collecting and inputting the vital signs data may be effective in improving the work efficiency of nursing.
2.Mechanism of regulatory T cell-induced tumor immune tolerance
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(6):403-406
regulatory T cell(Treg)is a subset of immunosuppressive Th cell lines with ability to sup-press anti-tumor immunity. Tregs are recruited into local tumor microenvironment by tumor-released chemokine CCL22. Tregs induce Th2-type immune responses which contribute the host ignorance and tolerance to tumor cells via releasing of immunosuppressive cytokines and immunosuppressive receptors. Accumulating evidences indicate that inhibiting Treg can break immune tolerance,and subsequently inhibit the growth and progress of cancer. These discoveries and exploration of Treg provide us a new therapeutic target and strategy with promising clinic application.

Objective To evaluate whether Vitamin B supplementation could prevent ischemic stroke recurrence.Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) observing Vitamin B supplementation in patients with stroke was performed in databases including ScienceDirect, PubMed/Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Data-Base, Wanfang Database, and VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database to find related studies in English or Chinese published before August 2016. The patients in control group received a placebo or basic therapy without Vitamin B, and those in experimental group was treated with Vitamin B alone or Vitamin B on the basis of conventional treatment. The data were collected by two researchers independently and the quality of studies was assessed by the modified Jadad Scale. The Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0, funnel plot was drawn, and Egger and Begg regressions were used to evaluate the publication bias, and sensitivity was also analyzed. Results Seven RCTs studies were enrolled to analyze with a total number of 9846 stroke patients, 4755 patients in control group, and 5091 in experimental group, respectively. ① Vitamin B supplementation for prevention of recurrent stroke: heterogeneity test results showed a heterogeneity in literatures enrolled (I2 = 62.9%,P = 0.009), and a random effect model was used for Meta-analysis. It was shown that the incidence of recurrent stroke in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [pooled relative risk(RR) = 0.64, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.47-0.87], which indicated that the supplementation of Vitamin B could prevent the recurrence of stroke. Cumulative Meta-analysis showed that Vitamin B supplementation exhibited positive effects in the prevention stroke recurrence from 2012. The 95%CI tended to be stable while demonstrating good change trend as sample growing. The publication bias evaluation results showed that the funnel plot was not symmetrical by visual inspection, further quantitative analysis showed thatP value from Egger regression was 0.008, while that from Begg regression was 0.035, bothP < 0.05, suggesting there were some publication bias. The sensitivity analysis showed that the overall results were stable and reliable. ② The effect of Vitamin B supplementation on plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels in stroke patients: heterogeneity test results showed a heterogeneity in literatures enrolled (I2 = 96.2%,P = 0.000), and a random effect model was used for Meta-analysis. It was shown that compared with control group, the plasma Hcy levels of patients after Vitamin B supplementation in experimental group were significantly decreased [pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) = -6.92, 95%CI = -9.11 to -4.73), indicating that Vitamin B could significantly reduce plasma Hcy levels in stroke patients. Cumulative meta analysis showed that, as time went on, the relevant research samples were increased, 95%CI tended to be stable and the variation tendency was better. The publication bias evaluation results showed that the funnel plot was symmetry by visual inspection, and further quantitative analysis showed that theP value from Egger regression was 0.345, and that from Begg regression was 0.764, bothP > 0.05, which indicating that there was no evidence of publication bias in the study included.Conclusions Vitamin B supplementation was associated with a lower risk of recurrent stroke in stroke patients and could significantly improve the quality of secondary prevention of stroke. Furthermore, supplementation of Vitamin B could reduce plasma Hcy levels in stroke patients which might contribute to its effect in preventing stroke recurrence.

BACKGROUND: Female hypertension has its own epidemicologic character and the chief interventions on it are various.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors of female hypertension and observe the effects on rehabilitative and preventive intervention in demonstrative community for comprehensive prevention and treatment of cardiac cerebral vascular disease in Guizhou.DESIGN: Group randomization was designed. The samples of certain percentage were randomized according to total population from each village of 13 administrative areas.SETTING: Guizhou Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Renmin Hospital of Yunyan District in Guiyang, Guizhou Clinical Examination Center.PARTICIPANTS: Since 1996, a series of comprehensive prevention and treatment had been carried in the communities for cardiac cerebral vascular disease in Guizhou, involved 13 administrative areas and 112 villagecitizen groups, in which, 26 604 people were employed, living in the regions between town and country. Social natural condition and life behavior of majority citizen reflected the common state of people in town and country. Totally 3 934 people aged over 15 years were investigated in the communities, and were all in the known of investigation. The samples without complete data were excluded.METHODS: ① Base-line investigation was carried on for the groups over 15 years old according to the requirement for administrative region designed by Institute of Preventive Medicine of China Academy of Sciences from April 1st 2001 to May 15th . ② Health education and health promotion activity were carried on for the included groups. ③ Survey after intervention was given for females according to the survey items designed by Institute of Preventive Medicine of China Academy of Sciences from July 2002to June 2003. ④ Normal body-mass index (BMI) was 18.5-23.9 kg/m2,overweight was indicated if BMI was 24-27.9 kg/m2 and obesity was diagnosed if BMI ≥28 kg/m2. ⑤ Analysis was applied on comparison of BMI,waist to hip ratio (WHR), average blood pressure, the rates of incidence,awareness and treatment of hypertension and rate of high-salty and lipid diet. ⑥ t test was adopted for comparison of means between two samples and x2 test was used for rate comparison.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of the rates of incidence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension for females of different ages in community base-line investigation in Guizhou. ② Comparison of BMI, WHR and BP of females of various ages in baseline investigation.③ Comparison of incident rate of hypertension for females with various BMI in baseline investigation. ④ Comparison of BMI, WHR, BP, smoke, alcohol, rate of high-salty and lipid diet, the rates of incidence, awareness,treatment and control of hypertension for females between baseline investigation and post-intervention survey.RESULTS: In baseline investigation, 6 361 correct and complete forms were collected, with 99.84% qualified rate, of which, there were 3 934females. 1 141 data were qualified after intervention. It was indicated in community baseline investigation: ① Rates of incidence, awareness and treatment of hypertension for females were improved with increased age (P < 0.05), and the control rate was decreased with increased age (P < 0.05). ② BMI, WHR, SBP (systolic blood pressure) and DBP (diastolic blood pressure) and PP (pulse pressure) were improved significantly with in creased age (P < 0.01). BMI for females was increased with ages, but was declined with age ≥60 years. ③ The incident rates of hypertension for groups of normal body mass, overweight and obesity were 15.05%, 23.87% and 39.37% successively, indicating that the hypertension inci dent rate was increased significantly with improved BMI (paired compari son, P < 0.05). Comparison between post-intervention survey and base-line investigation: ① In the comparison, the results of BMI, WHR and BP means were reduced for most cases at same age and significant difference was displayed in majority (P < 0.05). ② After intervention, smoke rate of females was increased significantly and rate of high-salty and lipid diet was decreased (P < 0.05). ③ Incident rate after health intervention was decreased significantly compared with that before intervention (P < 0.05),and the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were enhanced significantly (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: ① The rates of incidence, awareness, treatment and control of female hypertension are different in ages in community of Guizhou. ② The severity of risk factor of female hypertension is enhanced with increased age in community of Guizhou. ③ The increased body mass is the important factor of incident rate of hypertension. ④ Health education probably decreases the severity of risk factor of hypertension and increases the rates of awareness, treatment and control.

In this study,a fluorescent(FL)aptasensor was developed for on-site detection of live Salmonella typhimurium(S.T.)and Vibrio parahaemolyticus(V.P.).Complementary DNA(cDNA)of aptamer(Apt)-functionalized multicolor polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-perovskite quantum dots(cDNA-POSS-PQDs)were used as encoded probes and combined with dual-stirring-bar-assisted signal amplification for pathogen quantification.In this system,bar 1 was labeled with the S.T.and V.P.Apts,and then bar 2 was functionalized with cDNA-POSS-PQDs.When S.T.and V.P.were introduced,pathogen-Apt complexes would form and be released into the supernatant from bar 1.Under agitation,the two complexes reached bar 2 and subsequently reacted with cDNA-POSS-PQDs,which were immobilized on MXene.Then,the encoded probes would be detached from bar 2 to generate FL signals in the supernatant.Notably,the pathogens can resume their free state and initiate next cycle.They swim between the two bars,and the FL signals can be gradually enhanced to maximum after several cycles.The FL signals from released encoded probes can be used to detect the analytes.In particular,live pathogens can be distinguished from dead ones by using an assay.The detection limits and linear range for S.T.and V.P.were 30 and 10 CFU/mL and 102-106 CFU/mL,respectively.Therefore,this assay has broad application potential for simultaneous on-site detection of various live pathogenic bacteria in water.
