Objective To investigate the effect of alternative decompression body pad in the intraopera-tive pressure sore prevention.Methods Using random sampling methods,100 cases of patients were collect-ed and divided into the experimental group and the control group with 50 cases in each group,the experimental group adopted self-designed alternative decompression body pad and the control group used common body pad.The skin red,and hurt situation in the main parts of compression were observed,the average pressure of the main parts of compression,such as forehead,chest, anterior superior iliac spine was measured by means of stress-based software DZX29 figure measuring instrument, the above data underwent comparison.Results Statistical differences existed in skin red,skin damage and the average pressure between the two groups.Conclusions The alternative decompression body pad can effectively reduce the partial pressure of the vertical principal stress,and having an active role in the prevention of intraoperative pressure sores.But the prevention of pressure sores will still need to take comprehensive nursing measures.

As an effective method of studying soluble protein-protein interactions, yeast display system is now widely used for affinity maturation of single-chain antibodies.Due to the strong homology recombination machinery of yeast and the high-throughput nature of FACS detection, a rapid scan for interaction between antigen-antibody pairs could be easily achieved.Based on this system, a novel and reliable method for determining conformational epitopes was developed.Different fragments of macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF) and several point mutations of MIF were displayed on yeast cell surface using homologous recombination technology.Three MIF monoclonal antibodies, 10C3, 2A12 and 4E10, were screened for their binding affinity to each displayed peptide.Utilizing this technology, the key amino acids of MIF that bind to the MIF monoclonal antibodies were easily identified.

Objective To study the relationship of apoptosis-related gene survivin with bcl-2, bax protein in endometriosis. Methods The expressions of survivin, bcl-2 and bax protein were detected by immunohistochemical method (SP) in ectopic endometrium from 40 cases, and compared with that in eutopic endometrium from 25 cases without endometriosis. Results The expression rate of survivin protein in endometriotic cells was much higher than that in normal endometrial cells. The survivin was not correlated with the phase of menstrual cycle , but positively correlated to bcl-2, negatively to bax. Conclusion Survivin may play an important role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. With survivin gene, apoptosis-related gene bcl-2 may have a synergic role and bax have an antagonistic role in the formation and progression of endometriosis.

Cardiovascular fibrosis is the common pathological manifestation of many heart diseases.Relaxin inhibits fibrosis through several mechanisms as follows relaxin inhibits fibroblast function,collagen synthesis/secretion and the influence of several profibrotic factors.Relaxin stimulates MMP expression.Relaxin rapidly inhibits cardiovascular fibrosis and has no effect on normal tissue.It is a potential and selective antifibrotic target of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To evaluate the mutagenicity of hydrolysate of Meretrix meretrix Linnaeus soft tissue, so as to provide experimental basis for its exploitation.Methods Three mutagenicity tests were used to evaluate the mutagenic effects, including Ames test, CHL chromosome aberration assay and bone marrow micronucleus assay in mice.Results In Ames test, the revertant colonies numbers in each group were twice less than the numbers of spontaneous revertant colo-nies, five bacterial strains showed negative results with or without S9 activation, and the result of Ames test was negative. The CHL chromosome aberration assay and bone marrow micronucleus assay showed that the chromosome aberration rate and micronucleus rate of each dose group showed no significant difference compared with the negative control group, respec-tively ( P>0.05) .Conclusions Under this condition, the results show that all of the Ames test, chromosome aberration assay and bone marrow micronucleus assay are negative, and no mutagenicity is observed in the hydrolysate of Meretrix mer-etrix Linnaeus soft tissue.

Objective To explore the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with dengue fever(DF)in Guangzhou from July to September in 2006 and to improve the awareness of dengue virus infection for physicians.Methods Clinical data of 277 patients with DF admitted to our hospital in Guangzhou were retrospectively analyzed.Dengue virus was isolated from patients' blood specimens by C6/36 cell culture and typed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay and gene sequencing.Results Age of the 277 patients,148 males and 129 females,averaged 36 years with a standard deviation of 17 years,ranging from 9 months to 78 years.Their most common symptoms included fever(100.0%),skin rash(85.2%),headache(69.3%),myalgia(51.3%),bone soreness (39.0%)and nausea or vomiting(39.4%),and leucopenia and/hromboeytopenia occurred in 75.5% and 62.5% of them,respectively.Elevated alanine aminotransferase(ALT)was found in 59.6%,elevated aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in 81.6%,and hypopotassemia in 53.8% of them.Serum positivity of antibody against dengue virus IgM was 90.6%,which could be detected 3 to 10 days after onset of the illness,with a mean of 6.2 days with a standard deviation of 1.9 days.Cell-cultured virus from 20 patients were identified as typed by RT-PCR and RNA sequence analyses.All patients were clinically classified as typical DF and all of them completely recovered.Conclusions DF during this epidemic in Guangzhou was caused by dengue virus-1,with typical manifestations in all the patients but more damage in the liver.Some patients demonstrated hypopotassemia,but no dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome was found.All the patients experienced a good prognosis with timely diagnosis and treatment.
