OBJECTIVETo study the effects of sacral nerve root electrostimulation (SNS) on the colon function and its mechanisms in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI).

METHODSOne hundred and four Wistar rats were divided into three groups: A, B and C. A group ( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups (n = 8) for studying the bioelectricity: Normal group (NG), SCI group (SCI) and SCI group with SNS(SNS); B group( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups( n = 8) for studying the colon motility: NG, SCI and SNS. C group( n = 56) were divided into three groups for studying the change of morphology and neurotransmitters(SP and VIP): NG (n = 8), SCI (n = 24), and SNS (n = 24) . In SCI and SNS, included of three subgroups: 24, 48, 72 h after spinal cord injury (n = 8).

RESULTSIn SCI group, the activity of bioelectricity in proximal and distal colon was reduced; the colon motility was lessened, and colon mucosa appeared different degree of damage; cell-cell connections between intestinal epithelial cells were destroyed. The expressions of substance P(SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in colon were decreased obviously. SNS was found to activate the bioelectricity, promote the colon motility, improve the intestinal mucosal, and increase the expressions of SP and VIP. Conclusion: SNS can activate the peristalsis, rehabilitate the motility of denervated colon, protection of the intestinal mechanical barrier between intestinal epithelial cells and tight junction, rebuild the colon function through activating the bioelectricity and increase the expressions of SP and VIP.

OBJECTIVETo observe the ultrastructural change of the route of gut bacterial translocation in a rat with spinal cord injury (SCI).

METHODSForty Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control group and 3 SCI groups (10 in each group). The rats in the SCI groups were established SCI model at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after SCI. Small intestine mucous membrane tissue was identified and assayed by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscopy.

RESULTSSmall intestine mucous membrane tissue in control group was not damaged significantly, but those in SCI groups were damaged significantly. Proliferation bacteria in gut lumen attached on microvilli. The extracellular bacteria torn the intestinal barrier and perforated into the small intestinal mucosal epithelial cell. The bacteria and a lot of particles of the seriously damaged region penetrated into the lymphatic system and the blood system directly. Some bacteria were internalized into the goblet cell through the apical granule. Some bacteria and particles perforated into the submucosa of the M cell running the long axis of M cells through the tight junctions. In the microcirculation of mucosa, the bacteria that had already broken through the microvilli into blood circulation swim accompanying with erythrocytes.

CONCLUSIONThe routes of bacterial translocation interact and format a vicious circle. At early step, the transcellular pathway of bacterial translocation is major. Following with the destroyed small intestine mucous, the routes of bacterial translocation through the lymphatic system and the blood system become direct pathways. The goblet cell-dendritic cell and M cell pathway also play an important role in the bacterial translocation.

Objective To sum up the experience of renal transplantation in order to improve transplant effect and enhance the long-term survival and recovery rate.Methods The data of renal transplantation of 1 124 cases who received renal transplantation from Jul. 1978 to Oct. 2001 were summarized. All the possible factors that could influence the transplant effect such as pre-operative preparation, HLA match, donors' quality, surgical procedure, immunosuppressive therapy and so on were analyzed. Results The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate (%) of patient/kidney was 83.1/ 70.3, 74.6/ 68.6 and 62.6/ 56.1 respectively. The rate of AR was decreased significantly from 3.09?% only with LXM to 0.89?% with LXM test in combination with HLA serological test. The rate of HAR and AR in 130 cases with additional PRA test were lower than those only with LXM test.Conclusions The well pre-operative preparation, the ideal HLA match, the high quality of donor's kidney and transplant operation were keys for successful renal transplantation. Reduction of the complications, individual and combined medication in reason and long-term follow-up were very important in the long-term survival time.

Objective: To explore the relationship between social support and internet addiction in undergraduates. Method: 382 undergraduates were divided into three groups according to their social support score and perceived social support score at end of the first term in their freshmen year. They were followed for 4.5 years to collect the incidence of internet addiction. Results: The group with less social support or less perceived social support had higher incidence rate (15.7%, 7.9% and 2.4% with social support score 0～60, 61～73 and higher than 73 respectively, ?2=9.49,P=0.009). There was obvious dose-effect relationship between social support and incidence of internet addiction. Conclusion: Less social support is a risk factor of internet addiction.

Objective: To construct a competency evaluation model for health managers based on the grounded theory, so as to provide insights into the training and evaluation of health managers. Methods: From December 2022 to March 2023, health managers with three years and more of working from health management center of a tertiary hospital, a health management enterprise and a university with a top-tier ranking for the major of "Health Services and Management" were invited, and a semi-structured interview on competency was conducted based on grounded theory. Coding techniques were applied to analyze the interview data, including open coding, axial coding, selective coding and theoretical saturation testing using NVivo12 software. Based on the coding results and drawing inspiration from McClelland's "Iceberg Competency Model Structure", a competency evaluation model for health managers was formulated. Results: Twenty-one health managers participated in the study, including 8 participants from the hospital, 7 participants from the enterprise and 6 participants from the university, 14 females, 17 participants with 3-10 years of working, and 6 participants with the rank of associate senior professional title or above. The interview yielded 5 main categories, from which the competency evaluation model for health managers was developed with five dimensions: professional development, health management capability, communication and coordination, humanistic care, and personal traits. professional development and health management capability constituted the overt competencies of health managers, while communication and coordination, humanistic care, and personal traits formed their implicit competencies. Conclusions The competency evaluation model for health managers constructed in this study includes explicit competency and implicit competency, which is expected to serve as a reference for the effective selection and cultivation of health managers.

Objective: Under the microstrain environment, to investigate the impact and mechanisms of osteoblast differentiation of the naringin monomer on marrow stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. Methods: The cyclical stretch microstrain was loaded on silicone rubber membrane with cultured rabbit MSCs using EF3200 mechanical tester with the system of BioDynamic biological reaction tank. The experiment was divided into eight groups, A: the blank control group in conventional cultured environment; B: the group of alone microstrain loading; C: the group cultured in environment containing naringin and the naringin concentrations, respectively were 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL; D: under microstrain environment, the joint application with naringin at concentration of 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL. Flow cytometry was used to test the proliferation index (PI) of MSCs after microstrain loading. The gene expression of the cells in osteocalcin (OCN), osteoblast specific transcription factor (Runx2) and collagen type I (Col I) were assayed by RT-PCR. Results: Under the microstrain environment combined with naringin, MSCs showed obvious polarity and the long axis of cells parallel to the direction of mechanical stimulus direction. The combination of naringin and microstrain stimulation can significantly improve the MSCs proliferation activity. Naringin (200 ng/mL) could improve the gene expression of OCN under the stimulation of 50000 microstrain. Under 50000 microstrain stimulation, naringin at different concentration could significantly enhance the Runx2 gene expression and the effect between the enhancement and the naringin concentration was positive. Under the microstrain stimulation, naringin at low concentration could promote the Col I gene expression, on the contrary, naringin at high concentration could inhibit the Col I gene expression. Conclusion: Under the microstrain environment, naringin monomer could enhance the proliferation of MSCs and promote the osteogenetic differentiation of MSCs.
