OBJECTIVETo study the conjugation reaction characteristics of caffeic acid micromolecule cistanoside F and bovine serum albumin.

METHODThe interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cistanoside F that was separated from Callicarpa plant for the first time and abbreviated CF was detected by fluorescence (FS), UV-vis absorbance and circular dichroism (CD) under simulative physiological conditions.

RESULTCF-BSA's static apparent binding constant (K(a)), number of binding sites (n), efficiency of energy transfer (E), spatial distance (r), thermodynamic parameters deltaG, deltaH and deltaS and changes in alpha-helical structure content in BSA before and after CF's effect were calculated to define the binding site of CF in BSA and analyze the impact of several common metal ions on the interaction of CF and BSA.

CONCLUSIONGround state compounds formed by CF and BSA could cause intrinsic fluorescence quenching. Their binding constant K(a) of cistanoside F with BSA was 4.36 x 10(4) L x mol at 25 degrees C, the number of binding site n was 1, and the spatial distance r was 3.09 nm. The results indicated that the hydrogen bond played a major role in cistanoside F-BSA association. The displacement experiments confirmed that cistanoside F can bind to site I of BSA. In addition, the binding constant of cistanoside F with BSA was enhanced after the addition of some common metal ions Mg2+, Fe3+, Cu2+ and Zn2+. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by cistanoside F via forming cistanoside F-BSA complex and non-radiation energy transfer. CD spectra showed that the binding of cistanoside F with BSA induced conformational changes in BSA.

Objective:To analyze the effect of integrated care model on relocation stress and sense of coherence in caregivers of severe multiple injuries patients after ICU transfer.Methods:From January 2017 to October 2019, 102 caregivers of severe multiple injuries patients in ICU of Liuzhou Worker′s Hospital were selected and divided into control group and observation group by random digits table method,with 51 cases in each group. In the process of ICU transfer the control group received routine nursing, while the observation group carried out integrated care model based on the control group scheme. Before and after ICU transfer, the degree of relocation stress and sense of coherence of caregivers in two groups were evaluated by Family Relocation Stress Scale (FRSS) and Sense of Coherence Scale (SOCS) respectively.Results:The scores of migration preparation dimension, migration satisfaction dimension,caregiver stress dimension and the total scores of FRSS were 17.51 ± 3.46, 4.81 ± 0.48, 11.69 ± 1.82 and 49.91 ± 4.51 in the observation group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group after transfer (13.61 ± 2.83, 3.32 ± 0.53, 9.42 ± 2.17, 39.25 ± 4.01)( t values were 5.12-7.64, all P<0.05). The scores of manage ability dimension, comprehensibility dimension, meaningfulness dimension and the total scores of SOCS were 29.58 ± 4.96, 24.07 ± 2.72, 22.04 ± 3.64 and 75.52 ± 6.80 in the observation group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (24.34 ± 4.13, 20.50 ± 2.99, 17.19 ± 3.96, 64.80 ± 6.12) after transfer ( t values were 4.51-7.01, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The integrated care model can significantly alleviate relocation stress and promote sense of coherence in caregivers of severemultiple injuriespatients after ICU transfer.
