Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)is a transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of gene expression induced by low oxygen conditions.HIF-1α is the most sensitive indicator of hypoxia and can be activated by systemic hypoxia,cerebral hemisphere ischemia and cerebral focal ischemia.HIF-1 expression can be induced by hypoxic-ischemic damage after cerebral infarction and exert its effects on hypoxia-inducible downstream genes,thus protecting hypoxic tissues and cells under hypoxic conditions via regulating the expression of its downstream target genes.This article reviews the expression of HIF-1α and its downstream target genes in acute cerebral ischemia,in order to provide a theoretical basis for gene therapy.

Objective T o evaluate the application value for the prognosis of m echanical ocular injury cases using ocular traum a score (O TS). Methods Four hundred and eleven cases of m echanical ocular traum a w ere retrospectively review ed. O f the 449 eyes, there w ere 317 closed globe injury and 132 open globe injury. O T S variables included num erical values as initial visual acuity, rupture, endophthalm itis, perforat-ing or penetrating injury, retinal detachm ent and relative afferent pupillary block. T he differences be-tw een the distribution of the final visual acuity and the probability of standard final visual acuity w ere com pared to analyze the correlation betw een O T S category and final visual acuity. T he different types of ocular traum a w ere com pared. Results C om pared w ith the distribution of final visual acuity in standard O T S score, the ratio in O T S-3 category w as statistically different in present study, and no differences w ere found in other categories. Final visual acuity show ed a great linear correlation w ith O T S category (r=0.71) and total score (r=0.73). C om pared w ith closed globe injury, open globe injury w as generally associated w ith low er total score and poorer prognosis. R upture injury had poorer prognosis com pared w ith penetrating injury. Conclusion T he use of O T S for the patients w ith ocular traum a can provide re-liable inform ation for the evaluation of prognosis in forensic m edicine.

Objective To explore the psychological availability of the full-time candidates for master degree of nursing during the clinical work. Methods A phenomenological approach was adopted in this study. About 11 full-time candidates for master's degree of nursing took part in the semi-structured and in-depth interviews and the acquired data were analysed. Results About 4 themes promoting psychological availability were identified: strong research knowledge and skills, career development confidence, perception of attention from leaders and more satisfactory salary. The four themes hindering psychological availability were:clinical work tasks, lower level of expertise, lack of social support and lower perception of self benefit. Conclusions The full-time candidates for master's degree hold active perception and much expectation about their clinical work but meanwhile they feel passive and disappointed. Nursing administrators should develop distinguishing and definite clinical personnel training and continuing education programs for them, offer them an access to learning chances and emotional support in order to improve the psychological availability and stabilize the nursing team.

Objective To explore the clinical application of adaptive support ventilation (ASV) in elderly patients with acute respiratory failure.Methods A total of 46 mechanically ventilated patients aged over 65 years with acute respiratory failure admitted from January 2013 to June 2015 were enrolled.Comparison between the ASV mode and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) mode was carried out in respects of the impacts of both modes on respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, oxygen availability and comfort rate.Results Difference between ASV and SIMV in respiratory rate was [(20.84 ±4.04) vs.(24.50 ±4.60) cycles/min, t =4.04, P <0.05], in inspiratory resistance was [(13.24 ±4.76) vs.(16.54±5.25) cmH2O/ (L·s), t=3.16, P<0.05], in mean airway pressure was [(13.58±2.58) vs.(16.63 ±1.57) mmHg, t =6.84, P<0.05], in peak airway pressure was [(25.96 ± 3.69) vs.(27.87 ± 2.45) mmHg, t =2.92, P < 0.05], and tidal volume was [(378.41 ± 85.61) vs.(341.52 ± 86.84) mL, t =2.05, P < 0.05], and comfort rate of patients was increased in ASV mode.There were no statistically significant differences in arterial oxygen partial pressure, carbon dioxide partial pressure, lactate, heart rate, mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure between the two modes (PP > 0.05).Conclusions Compared with the synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode, the adaptive support ventilation mode can improve the respiratory mechanics and can increase the comfort rate in the elderly patients with mechanical ventilation.
