Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle on the prevalence of incontinence-associated dermatitis.Methods We set up a quality control circle group,analyzing the current situations,set the goals and analysed the causes of the high incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis in the ICU after deciding a specific subject and then we developed strategies.The two groups were compared in terms of knowledge on the dermatitis,assessment of the dermatitis risks,the dermatitis-related management and the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis.Results After manipulation of the quality control circle,the aims of incontinence dermatitis related knowledge,risks assessment and management process were all achieved.The scores on nurses knowledge on the dermatitis,ability in solving problems,quality control operation,confidence,ability in coordination,and team work spirits were all significantly higher than those before the manipulation of the circle (P＜0.01) and the incidence of incontinenceassociated dermatitis was statistically significantly lower (P＜0.001).Conclusion The management based on the quality control in the ICU of neurology department can effectively reduce the neurology incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis and improve the nurses professional skills.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the expression of protein interacting with Cα kinase 1 (PICK1) in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons during remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in rats with incisional pain.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 240-260 g, aged 42-49 days, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table: control group (group C) , incisional pain group (group Ⅰ) , remifentanil group (group R), and remifentanil + incisional pain group (group R + Ⅰ).In R and R+Ⅰ groups, remifentanil was infused intravenously for 60 min at the rate of 1.2 p,g · kg-1 · min-1.In C and Ⅰ groups, normal saline was infused intravenously for 60 min at the rate of 0.12 ml · kg-1 · min-1.In Ⅰ and R+Ⅰ groups, the model of incisional pain was established, and remifentanil and normal saline were infused intravenously, respectively, at the same time.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before normal saline or remifentanil infusion, and at 2, 6, 24, and 48 h after the end of normal saline or remifentanil infusion (T1-4).The rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain threshold.The lumbar segment (L4-6) of the spinal cord and left DRGs were removed for determination of the expression of PICKl mRNA (by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) and PICK1 protein (by Western blot).Results Compared with group C, the MWT was significantly decreased, the TWL was shortened, and the expression of PICK1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in R and R+Ⅰ groups, and the MWT was significantly decreased, the TWL was shortened (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in the expression of PICK1 protein and mRNA in group Ⅰ (P＞0.05).Compared with group Ⅰ, the MWT was significantly decreased, the TWL was shortened, and the expression of PICK1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group R+Ⅰ (P＜0.05).Compared with group R, the MWT was significantly decreased, the TWL was shortened (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in the expression of PICK1 protein and mRNA in group R+ Ⅰ (P＞0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which remifentanil induces hyperalgesia may be related to up-regulation of PICK1 expression in the spinal cord and DRG neurons of rats with incisional pain.

Objective To investigate CD80 expression on human tumor cell lines and establish stable CD80 expression transfectants to illustrate CD80 costimulation on the T cell proliferation and cytokine production.Methods Raji, MDA-453, MCF-7, Hela, 3AO, MKN-45 and EBV transformed B cell were detected for CD80 expression by RT-PCR. CD80 cDNA subcloned to retrovirus vector pLXSN, with them stable CD80 transfectanants were established. With specific mAb BB1 and FACS assay, the expression of CD80 were detected. Anti-CD3 induced T lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2, IFN-r production were performed to evaluate CD80 costimulatory activity in the presence of calcium ionophore A23187 and phorbol ester PMA.Results CD80 (B7-1) expression of MDA-453, MCF-7, Hela, 3AO, MKN-45 was negative, and that of Raji and EBV transformed B cell was positive by RT-PCR and FACS methods. Cocultured with CD80 transfected human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-453, anti-CD3 induced T cells proliferation and cytokine production were significantly increased in the presence of A23187 and PMA, but not with parental MDA-453.Conclusions CD80 expression is absent on most human tumor cell line except for Raji and EBV transformed B cell. Full activation of T cell needs CD80 costimulation. Influence of CD80costimulation on cytokine production is mainly regulated via IL-2 and IFN-r.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for pharmacy staff to choose different drug label databases according to different needs.METHODS:The information organization mode of the three open access drug label databases that included Drugs@FDA,FDA Online Label Repository and DailyMed had been collected and analyzed comparatively from three aspects:retrieval function settings,search results display,data resources and service targets.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:In respect of retrieval function,DailyMed provided the most abundant retrieval functions than others.In respects of search results display,DailyMed provided the highest degree of formatted data,followed by FDA Online Label Repository,while Drugs@FDA provided semi-formatted data.Three databases provided the functions of page replication and printing,among which the interface of DailyMed was friendlier and the content of DailyMed was more open;it provided all the download functions.In respects of data resources and service targets,developers of Drugs@FDA and FDA Online Label Repository were FDA,and that of DailyMed was National Library of Medicine (NLM).The data sources used by Drugs@FDA were the drug labels after strict approval by FDA,and the description of drug information by Drugs@FDA was the most comprehensive.FDA Online Label Repository was the original drug labels submitted by the manufacturer to FDA,which was the latest content,and even included unlisted drugs.The data sources of DailyMed were from the information listed on the drug package,and included the information of drug label which was listed but not approved strictly;it covered most comprehensive drugs.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of enalapril for renal interstitial fibrosis by observing the effect of enalapril on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1(TGF-beta1), p-Smad2/3 and Smad7 in renal tissuess of unilateral urethral obstruction (UUO) rat model. METHODS: Thirty female Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly subdivided into a sham-operated group, a model group and an enalapril treated group. UUO model was induced by ligating the left ureter of rats. All rats were sacrificed 14 days after UUO. Pathological changes of the renal tissue were observed by HE and Masson staining, the protein expressions of Collagen I (ColI), TGF-beta1, p-Smad2/3 and Smad7 were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the mRNA expressions of TGF-beta1 and Smad7 were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The renal interstitial damage index, the relative Collagen area and the expression of ColI in the model group significantly increased(P<0.01). Enalapril reduced these indexes. The protein and mRNA expressions of TGF-beta1 and the protein expressions of p-Smad2/3 were low in the sham-operated group, but were strongly positive in the model group, and enalapril could decrease the expressions of TGF-beta1 and p-Smad2/3(P<0.01). The protein and mRNA expressions of Smad7 in the model group were less than that in the sham-operated group(P<0.01),and enalapril could improve the expressions of Smad7(P<0.01). CONCLUSION Enalapril could inhibit the renal interstitial fibrosis by affecting TGF-beta1, p-Smad2/3 and Smad7 of TGF-beta/smads pathway in the renal tissues of UUO rats.
