[Objective] To explore the mechanism of fever in damp- heat syndrome. [Methods] Hyperlipemia rabbit models were established by feeding fatty - sweet diet. After the injection of endotoxin, the secretion of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 was observed in rabbit model (Group A) and compared with normal rabbits (Group B) . [ Results] The peak of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 secretion was decreased and the decline was slow in Group A. [ Conclusion ] The damp - heat syndrome in seasonal febrile disease is not merely a simple addition of damp and heat, but a result of retention and interaction of the two factors.

Objective To observe the effect of modified Qinghao Biejia Decoction ( QBD) on Th17 cells and renal pathology of MRL/lpr mice with spontaneous systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods Thirty-two female MRL/lpr mice aged 8 to 10 weeks were divided into 4 groups: model group, Chinese medicine group, prednisone group, and combination group, 8 mice in each group. Eight female C57BL/6 mice aged 8 to 10 weeks served as normal control. Mice in Chinese medicine group were given concentrated solution of modified QBD (19.25 g·kg-1·d-1), mice in the prednisone group were given water solution of prednisone acetate (8.75 mg·kg-1·d-1) , mice in the combination group were given the above two kinds of medicine, and mice in the model group and normal control group were given physiological saline. After medication for 7 weeks, spleens and kidneys in all of the groups were taken out for the experiment. Th17 cells in splenic mononuclear cell suspension were detected by flow cytometry, the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed under light microscope, and activity index (AI) of renal tissue in lupus nephritis mice was scored. Results The proportion of Th17 cells in the model group was significantly higher than that of normal control group ( P<0.05) . The proportion of Th17 cells in Chinese medicine group and combination group was lower than that of the model group ( P<0.05) , and prednisone group had higher proportion of Th17 cells than Chinese medicine group ( P<0.05) . Compared with the model group, pathological changes of renal tissue were relieved, and AI scores were decreased in Chinese medicine group, the prednisone group and the combination group ( P<0.05) . Except for the normal control group , AI scores in all groups were positively correlated with the proportion of Th17 cells ( r=0.77, P<0.01) . Conclusion Modified QBD can inhibit the expression of Th17 cells and improve the pathological changes of MRL/lpr mice with lupus nephritis.

Objective To understand the status quo of midwives' core competency in Fujian Province and analyze its influencing factors.Methods A total of 374 midwives from 13 hospitals in Fujian Province were surveyed by the midwife core competency scale.Results The average score of midwives' core competency were(3.96±0.54).The scores of vocational literacy,postnatal care skills and health care skills during pregnancy were relatively high.The scores of public health care knowledge,public health care skills and women's health knowledge were relatively low.The scores of core competence for junior,senior and expert abilities for midwives were (4.03±0.55),(3.78±0.59)and (3.54±0.75),respectively.In seven dimensions,the scores for skills were all higher than those for knowledge.Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that years of working,hospital grade,marital status and form of employment were influencing factors of midwives' core competency (P<0.05).Conclusion The core competence of midwives in 13 hospitals in Fujian Province was generally at the middle level.The junior ability was satisfactory,and the senior and expert abilities should be improved.Midwives who were newly employed,working in primary institutes,non-institution personnels should be paid more attention in order to promote midwives' core competency holistically.

Objective:To investigate the status of vascular access in hemodialysis patients in our center.Methods:The general information of hemodialysis patients and types and complications of vascular access at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April 2015 to April 2016,were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 258 prevalent patients,87.60% of them had arteriovenous fistula (AVF),while 12.40% showed tunneled cuffed catheter.Of the 61 incident patients,80.33% of them initiated dialysis with a non-tunneled and non-cuffed catheter,8.19% with an AVF,9.84% with a tunneled cuffed catheter,and 1.64% with needle puncture.The types of AVF access included 76.55% of wrist radiocephalic fistula,7.08% of mid-forearm cephalic fistula,11.06% of elbow brachiocephalic fistula,and 5.31% of antecubital fistula and transposed basilic fistula.Seventy-seven (34.07%) patients with AVF suffered complications and wherein aneurysms accounted for 24.34%.Conclusion:In maintenance hemodialysis patients,autologous AVF is the prevalent vascular access.In the beginners for dialysis,non-tunneled and non-cuffed catheter are their choice.Additional efforts and incentives may be necessary to improve vascular access during the initiation ofhemodialysis.
