Objective To compare the changes of detrusor physiological properties between the models of detrusor instability caused by neurogenic, obstructive and idiopathic factors. Methods Eighty female SD rats were enrolled in our study, including 17 rats of idiopathic detrusor instability (IDI), 33 for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) by partial ligation of bladder outflow tract, 20 spinal cord injury (SCI) by transection of spinal cord at L1-2, 10 as normal control. Six weeks after insult, the change of detrusor excitability, autorhythmicity and contractility were examined by means of cystometry and the in vitro detrusor strip study. Results The occurrence rate of detrusor instability in BOO rats, SCI rats and IDI rats was 75.9%, 100% and 21.3%. The rats in three DI groups increased more significantly in excitability, autorhythmicity and contractility than control rats (P0.05). Conclusion Different types of DI have similarity in the detrusor myogenic changes, while the increase in spontaneous excitability of detrusor strip seems to be more important than others factors in the mechanism of DI.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of combined application of survivin antisense nucleic acid and taxol in subcutaneous xenograft mouse model of Balb/c and to preliminarily investigate the mechanism of the anticancer effects.Methods The model of subcutaneous tumor was established by hypodermic injection of C26 cells into Bal b/c mice.The mice were then randomly divided into five groups through the internal tumor injection:the blank group (C),lipo2000 group (L),paclitaxel group (T),survivin antisense nucleic acid group (A),and survivin antisense nucleic acid combined with paclitaxel group (A+T).We observed tumor growth,determined cell apoptosis by TUNEL method,and detected the expression of survivin by Western blot.Results ① All treatment groups had T/C<60%,which was significantly different from that of group L (P <0.05);the intervention was proved effective in vivo .The tumor inhibition rate of mice tumor weight showed that there were significantly curative effects in groups T,A and A+ T compared with that in group C (P < 0.05 ).The antitumor activity of paclitaxel (tumor inhibition rate of 21.82%±0.84%)could be improved by more than 59% through combination therapy (tumor inhibition rate of 54.1 6% ± 0.32%)concerning inhibition of tumor weight growth.② TUNEL method detected apoptotic cells:The tumor cells hardly had apoptosis in the blank group while T group and A group had a certain number of apoptotic cells.The experiment results suggested that PTX could promote tumor cell apoptosis,and that not only A+T strengthened the effect in killing tumor cells,but also the synergy of both could influence tumor resistance and ultimately make the effect in promoting tumor cell apoptosis conspicuous.③ The expression of survivin protein:The results showed that the expression of survivin protein in group A + T was obviously decreased without the expression of β-actin affected;it did not change significantly in group C compared with group L.The ratio of the A-value in groups T,A and A+T was 0.895 ±0.01 1,0.704 ±0.121 and 0.345 ± 0.01 9,respectively.Analysis of variance t-test showed that the expression level in group A+T obviously differed from that in groups C,L,A and T (P <0.05).Conclusion The combined therapy of survivin antisense nucleic acid and taxol can promote tumor cell apoptosis by downregulating the expression of survivin protein,reduce the body’s resistance to drugs and create synergetic effects.

Objective To research the endometrial receptivity by established the endometriosis rat model in intimal window period.Methods The autologous endometrial tissues of 22 sexually mature SD rats were transplanted into the homonymy abdomi-nal wall and offside uterine mesometrium.After four weeks,we randomly dissected two rats and observed the growth of etopic en-dometrium.The EMs rats were mated with male rats in the same cage and vaginal plug was observed in the next day.The histomor-phology of eutopic and ectopic endometrial was observed in the fifth day of pregnancy.Results Ectopic endometrium was grown in the abdominal wall and mesometrium,which formed a small bulge cystic mass in 20 rats.All foci was showed adhesion to the sur-rounding tissues in a different extent.In the light microscope,the morphology of ectopic endometrial was as the same as nomal en-dometrium.The establishment of the endometriosis rat mode is successful.Vaginal plug was positive the next day.Nonoperative side uterine was full of fluid in the fifth day of pregnancy.Eutopic and ectopic endometrium were in the secretory phase..Conclusion It is a successful method to establish a rat model of endometriosis by autotransplantion of endometrium.The endometrium of EMs model rats is in embryo implantation window period,and it provides a convenient model for studying endometrial receptivity.

Patrolling monocyte (PMo) is a subset of monocytes.Its main function is patrolling vascular endothelium and removing cellular debris from the microvasculature.Studies have revealed that PMo can inhibit the growth of tumor cells,recruiting NK cells to kill tumor cells.PMo can prevent tumor cells metastasis to the lung,which plays a role of immunosurveillance.PMo may be a target for cancer immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the effect of competency based education (CBE) in the nursing training of GNS (gerontological nurse specialist).Method The CBE was used in the nursing training of GNS and the differences in knowledge and nursing skills,ability in nursing training,and aiblity in organization and scienticific research.Result After the training,the GSN was above 80 in knowledge and skills,ability in nursing training,ability in organization and scientific research and self-assessment better than that before training (P＜0.05).Conclusion The CBE for the nursing training can upgrade the abilities in the GSN in the aspects of knowledge and skills,nursing training,organization and scientific research so that they become more competent in the gerontological nursing.

Aim To investigate the cytotoxicity of XN4 against AML cells, and the underlying mechanisms by which XN4 might induce DNA damage and apoptotic cell death through reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) . Methods The proliferation inhibition ratio of AML cells was measured by MTT. The level of extracellular ROS, DNA damage, cell cycle process and apoptosis were tested by flow cytometry ( FCM ) . Western blot was applied to test the expression of proteins. Results XN4 significantly inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 and KG1α with IC50 ( 2. 79 ± 0. 15 ) μmol · L-1 and (2. 76 ± 0. 20) μmol·L-1 respectively. XN4 signifi-cantly increased the generation of intracellular ROS, followed by inducing DNA damage and activating the ATM-γ-H2AX signaling, which led to increases of cells in the S phases of the cell cycle. Subsequently, XN4 induced apoptotic cell death through activation of caspase-3 and Parp. Moreover, the above effects were all reversed by the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine ( NAC ) . Conclusion XN4-induced DNA damage and cell apoptosis in AML cells are mediated via ROS generation.

Objective To investigate the pathogen spectrum and analyze the associated risk factors of pulmonary moniliasis in the patients with liver failure.Methods A retrospective analysis of pulmonary moniliasis complicating liver failure(n=150) was performed by case-control study on the data of patients admitted to PLA 302 Hospital from Jan.1986 to Nov.2007.A cohort of 154 patients with liver failure but without fungi infection(n=154) served as the control group.By analyzing the epidemiological and clinical data,the spectrum of fungi was identified,and the risk factors in pulmonary moniliasis pneumonia inpatients with liver failure were identified.Results The number of patients with acute on chronic liver failure(69/150,46.0%) were greater than patients with chronic liver failure(78/150,52.0%),while the number of patients suffering from moniliasis pneumonia was smaller than that of control group(20/154,13.0% and 129/154,83.8%,respectively,P

Objective To investigate the minimum local analgesic concentration(MLAC)of epidural hydromorphone combined with bupivacaine for analgesia during the first stage of labor by establishing clinical model.Methods Sixty four labouring parturi-ents at 3-7 cm cervical dilation who requested epidural analgesia were allocated to one of two groups.After a lumbar epidural cath-eter was placed,study participants received 15 mL bupivacaine(n=30),bupivacaine with hydromorphone 200 μg(n=30).The con-centration of bupivacaine was determined by the response of the previous patient using 0 - 100 mm visual analog pain scores, with≤30 mm within 30 min defined as effective.Results Four women were excluded,leaving 30 patients in each of the two groups for analysis.The MLAC of bupivacaine alone was 0.103%(95% CI :0.094%-0.113%).The addition of hydromorphone at doses of 200 μg resulted in significant reduction(P <0.05)in the MLAC of bupivacaine to 0.044%(95% CI :0.034%-0.053%),the difference was significant (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in Bromage scores,HR,BP,FHR,UC and adverse reac-tion (P >0.05).Conclusion The study showed a significant reduction in the MLAC of bupivacaine by hydromorphone.Hydromor-phone could be safely used in epidural analgesia for labor.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease with severe renal insufficiency,and to provide a basis for improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment of MAC lung disease with severe renal insufficiency.Methods Clinical data of an elderly patient with MAC lung disease confirmed by induced sputum culture and complicated with chronic kidney disease (CKD 4) was reported.The related literatures at home and abroad were reviewed.Results A male patient aged 80 years with poor nutrition was suffering from progressive weight loss,exhaustion and night sweats.His weight was only 43-44 Kg.Chest CT showed that multiple small nodules,small spot pieces of shadow and ground glass shadows in bilateral lung tissues.PET/CT indicated that spot pieces and nodules with metabolic activity in high performance.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) inspection was negative.MAC was identified by induced sputum culture through high permeability brine induced sputum.It was difficult to choose drugs for the treatment of MAC lung disease due to his poor kidney function [GFR of left kidney:9.0 ml /min,GFR of right kidney:18.8 ml/min].Conventional anti-mycobacterium drugs showed a low to high resistance to MAC.Moxifloxacin was discontinued for renal insufficiency.His condition was stable after choosing trimodality therapy including azithromycin 0.25 g/d tiw,rifapentine 0.3 g/d biw,ethambutol 0.375 g /d tiw and the joining immunotherapy.Conclusions PET/ CT is not useful in identifying tuberculosis and MAC lung disease.The treatment of MAC lung disease is difficult in elderly patients with severe renal insufficiency and low weight.Individual therapy combined with immunotherapy and improving the nutrition state is a good choice for the treatment of MAC lung disease in elderly patients with severe renal insufficiency.The anti-MAC drugs should be carefully selected and the adverse reactions should be closely observed in order to obtain the satisfactory clinical results.
