The basic nursing quality is an important dial of the general administration level and the basic personnel quality of a hospital.Many causes have led to the down trend of the basic nursing quali- ty.After a specific analysis of the causes of such a trend,important measures and solutions have been put forth,The first is to strengthen the moral education of the profession and upgrade the quality of the nursing staff.The second is to adopt the "group responsibility" administration and gradually carry out a systimatic integrated nursing so that a transformation of nursing models is put to practice,The third is to broaden the outlet of human resources so that personnel are rationally employed and the rate of job— taking raised.The last one is to heighten the initiative of the nursing staff through the rational opera- tion of the "incentive"mechanism in accordance with the law of values.

Objective To explore the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on renal expression of TGFβ1,Smad3 and Smad7.Methods 40 Sprague-Dawley mts were randomized into 4 groups:normal control rats (group A),diabetic nephropathy group (group B),small dose 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D treatment group (0.5 μg · kg-1 · d-1,group C) and large dose 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D treatment group (1 μg · kg-1 · d-1,group D),each group had 10 rats.After 12 weeks,the renal function,blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin and the urine trace albumin content of each rats were tested.Results The biochemical indicators in group B were higher than those in group A,(t =-16.566,P ＜0.05;t =-16.949,P ＜0.05;t =-11.844,P ＜0.05;t =-19.778,P ＜0.05;t =-14.013,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group B,the biochemical indicators and the expression of TGFβ1,Smad3 mRNA reduced in group C and group D,and the expression of Smad7 mRNA increased (F =37.892,P ＜ 0.05;F =70.068,P ＜ 0.05;F =21.95,P ＜0.05;F =77.619,P ＜0.05;F =37.670,P ＜0.05;F =1062.562,P ＜0.05;F =2463.789,P ＜0.05;F =81.745,P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences between group C and group D (t =0.538,P＞0.05;t =1.737,P＞0.05;t =0.671,P＞0.05;t =1.763,P ＞0.05;t =0.997,P ＞0.05;t =1.653,P ＞0.05;t=1.543,P＞0.05;t =-1.313,P ＞0.05).Conclusion 1,25-dihydroxyvitamnin D3 has protective effect on diabetic nephropathy rats model,the mechanism may be associated with inhibiting the expression of TGF β1 and Smad3,increasing the expression of Smad7.

Objective To develop a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of bisphenol A in drinking water by liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. Methods Bisphenol A was extracted from the drinking water sample by a SEP-PAK C18 column,eluted with methanol and concentrated with a rotary evaporator. The extract was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. Results The calibration curve of bisphenol A was linear in the range of 5 -100 ng/ml,the linear equation was y =6 796.61x -8 655.64 and the correlation coefficients of linear calibration curve was 0.999 2. The limit of detection (S/N=3) and the limit of quantification (S/N=10) of bisphenol A were 0.007 5 ng/ml and 0.025 ng/ml,respectively. The rates of recovery of bisphenol A were from 83.46% to 94.00% and the relative standard deviation was 3.06% -4.60%. Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and is applicable to the qualitative and quantitative determination of bisphenol A in drinking water.

To elucidate the signal transduction mechanism of systemic inflammatory response syndrome induced by LPS,Western blot analysis was used to assay the protein expression and phosphorylation levels of ERK, JNK,and p38 MAPK in murine KC which were stimulated by LPS. It was found that LPS treatment resulted in no significant change in their protein expression, but a rapid transient increase in their phosphorylation levels, which peaked at 30, 45,and 20 minutes,respectively; The values returned to mear baseline within 2 hours. Kinase phosphorylation levels of these three MAPKs induced by LPS were found to be dose dependent in a range of 10 pg/ml to 100ng/ml. No phosphorylation was observed in unstimulated cells. Among them, p38 MAPK shoned fastest and highest phosphorylation levels. The results show that LPS can markedly activate ERK, JNK,and p38 MAPK in KC, and p38 MAPK may play a more important role in LPS induced kupffer cell activation than ERR and JNK.

AIM:To evaluate the relationship between RUNX3,cyclin E,P21,biological features and survival in gastric cancer patients.METHODS:RUNX3 was examined using immunohistochemical staining.Cyclin E and P21 were analyzed by flow cytometry.Survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curves.RESULTS:The positive-expression rate of RUNX3,cyclin E and P21 in tumor tissue from 56 patients with gastric cancer were 44.6%,64.3% and 32.1%,respectively.RUNX3 expression was correlated with lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P0.05).Using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the Log-rank test,there was correlation between RUNX3,cyclin E and survival(P0.05).CONCLUSION:RUNX3 may be related with tumorigenesis and tumor progression by affecting P21 expression.The detection of RUNX3 and cyclin E may be helpful in evaluating the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in gastric carcinoma patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of deferasirox on DLL4 expression and angiogenesis in a narrow pedicle and random flap in rats.Methods Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into the deferagirox group and control group.Rats were subjected to deferagirox of 100 mg · kg-1 · d-1 inthe experimental groups,respectively and the same dose saline in the control group for 1 week. In each group,flap were created in the bilateral back of each rats.Ratio of length to width of tissue in the pedicle portion and the flap portion was 1 cm × 1 cm and 3 cm × 3 cm,respectively.The tissue samples were taken from the pedicle and the middle portions of the flap.The DLL4 and CD105 expression was also detected with immunohistochemistry (SABC).Results Compared with control group,whatever in the pedicle portion or the middle portion,there was a significant increase of microvessels marked by CD105 and a significant decrease of flap microvessels stained by DLL4 in the deferagirox group.In both groups,compared with the pedicle portion,there was a significant increase of microvessels marked by CD105 and DLL4 in the the middle portion.Conclusions Deferasirox can in crease the CD105 expression and angiogenesis of the slender narrow pedicle random flap.This process might be related to the inhibition of DLL4 protein expression,which is significant in the notch signaling pathway.

Objective To discuss MRI characteristics and differential diagnosis of fourth ventricular masses. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 90 cases' MRI findings of fourth ventricular masses that were proved by the surgery (n=83) or were diagnosed by more than three professors and assistant professors in the neuroradiology field (n=7). Results These masses in our study included the medulloblastomas (n=27),the ependmomas (n=18),the choroid plexus papillomas (n=11),the metastases (n=7),astrocytoma (n=6),astrocytomas and glioma (undifferentiated and mixed patten are 5cases),epidermoid cysts (n=5),cerebral cysticercosis (n=4),cavernous hemangiomas (n=4),venous malformation (n=3). Their shapes were spheroridal or irregular,and some masses could become cystic changes in the masses. Most masses could be enhanced or a few couldn't be enhanced with DPTA on MRI. Conclusion The demonstration of fourth ventricular depends on MR findings. It is important to differentiate these masses between within and without fourth ventricular for the differential diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of estrogen receptor(ER)and progesterone receptor(PR)in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICCA)and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ECCA)comparatively.MethodsThe expression of ER and PR was detected in 24 specimens of ICCA and 34specimens of ECCA by immunohistochemistry assay.ResultsThe positive rates for ER and PR expression were 29 ％(7/24)and 46 ％(11/24)in ICCA specimens,respectively.3 cases among 9 cases of high histological grade,3 cases among 11 cases of middle histological grade and 1 case among 4 cases of low histological grade expressed ER positively,while 2 cases,7 cases and 2 cases expressed PR positively,respectively.The expression of ER and PR expressions showed no statistically significant differences between different histological grades of ICCA.ER and PR were all negative in 34 specimens of ECCA.Conclusion ER and PR show significant different expression between ICCA and ECCA,with exclusive positive expression in ICCA.ER and PR might be involved in the pathogeuesis of ICCA.
