objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of surgical and nonsurgical treatment and the clinical factors affecting the efficacy in traumatic optic neuropathy. Methods To analyse retrospectively the efficacy of recovery of visual acuity in 40 cases of traumatic optic neuropathy after treatment with transnasal endoscopic sphenoethmoidal optic canal decompression (28 cases) and drug therapy (12 cases). Results No significant difference existed between the therapeutic efficacy of surgery and that of drug therapy in patients with the visual acuity of LP～0.02. In surgery group,the therapeutic efficacy of the patients with visual acuity of LP～0.02 was better than that of the patients with no LP.The therapeutic efficacy of patients with duration shorter than seven days before sutgery is better than that of patients with duration longer than seven days. Conclusions The patients with serious traumatic comperssive optic neuropathy should not be treated with decompressive surgery and should not delay to at most seven days after injury.With or without the visual acuity of light perception of the affected eye surgery is usually an important factor affecting the therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To study the expressions of B7-H1 and PD-1 which are costimulatory molecules in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods The heparin anticoagulant blood samples from 11 CHB patients and 16 healthy controls were collected. The expressions of B7-H1 and PD-1 on myloid dendritic cells (mDC) and T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood were analyzed by flow cytometry. The data comparison was done by t test. Results The expressions of B7-H1 on CD3~+ ,CD4~+ , CD8~+ T lymphocytes and mDC in CHB patients were (40. 69± 14. 49)%, (42. 84 ±11. 19)%,(33. 48±14.07)% and (16. 60±4. 04) % , respectively, and those were (14. 66±10. 11) % , (4. 62±3.84)%, (1.89±2.31)% and (0. 49±0. 37)% , respectively in healthy controls. The expressions of B7-H1 on T-lymphocytes and mDC in CHB patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls, and the differences were significant (t=-2.884,t=-10.894, t=-7.378, t=-13. 182,respectively; all P<0. 05). The expressions of PD-1 on CD3~+ , CD4~+ and CD8~+ T lymphocytes in CHB patients were (12. 45±6. 36)%, (11. 42 ± 6. 20)% and (13. 03± 6. 71) %, respectively, and those were (7. 80±3. 53)%, (7. 12±2. 60)% and (7. 88±3. 74)% , respectively in healthy controls.The expressions of PD-1 on T lymphocytes in CHB patients were significantly higher than those of the healthy controls, the differences were significant (t = -2.323, t =- 2. 355, t =- 2. 439,respectively) all P<0. 05). Conclusion The expressions of B7-H1 and PD-1 on T lymphocytes and mDC in CHB patients are higher than the healthy people.

BACKGROUND: Studies have found that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans degradation with chondroitinase canpromote the migration of Müller cells on the retina, but whether it could promote the migration of adipose-derivedmesenchymal stem cells in retinal degeneration rats is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans degradation with chondroitinase on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell treatment for retinal degeneration in rats.METHODS: Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured. A retinal degeneration ratmodel was established followed by administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells+chondroitinase into thesubretinal space. The migration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and retinal cell apoptosis in rats aftertransplantation were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells could be successfully cultured.The labeling rate of BrdU to the human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was more than 90.0%. At 7 days aftermodeling, the outer nuclear layer of the retina was collapsed, and a large amount of photoreceptor cells were dissected.The outer nuclear layer was attached to the Bruch''s membrane, and the retina was arched. The central retina andperipheral retina were damaged. In normal rats, the retinal layers were clear, and the photoreceptor cells arrangedregularly; and the retinal pigment epithelium was complete. The migration rate of adipose-derived mesenchymal stemcells in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells+chondroitinase group was higher than that in adipose-derivedmesenchymal stem cells group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the apoptotic rate of retinal cellsbetween the two groups (P > 0.05). These experimental findings show that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans degradationwith chondroitinase can enhance the migration ability of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the retina.

Objective To guide new nurses to establish positive and correct occupational self-concept, enhance occupational identity and delay job burnout by adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses. Methods Randomly selected 56 new nurses of our hospital in recent years as research objects. 28 nurses enrolled in 2013 formed the experimental group and 28 nurses enrolled in 2014 formed the control group. The experimental group focused on nurses themselves. In the 10-month standardized training, 30 class-hour traditional culture education was added and more than 180 times of social practices were conducted; for the control group, only standardized training was carried out. Effects before and after, all subjects were examined occupational self-concept and desert jobs rate after work 2 years. Results The occupational self-concept of the experimental group tended to reach a positive level, which was (33.14±2.15) points, obviously higher than that of the control group, which was only (30.57 ± 3.03) points. Therefore, the difference was statistically significant(t=3.703 4,P<0.01). In terms of dimensions of comprehensive self- concept, employee relationships and communication ability were (4.92 ± 0.50), (6.34 ± 0.54), (5.87 ± 0.44) points in the experimental group and (4.40 ± 0.63), (5.89 ± 0.77),(5.55 ± 0.64) points in the control group, the experimental group had significant improvements (t=3.458 1, 2.561 9, 2.206 4, P<0.01). Comparing the separation rates of the two groups after two years, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses plays a positive role in promoting their occupational self-concept.

Objective To observe the curative effect of low molecular heparin for treating secondary high coagulation state in the patients with nephrotic syndrome(NS) .Methods Total 87 cases of NS in our hospital were divided into the conventional treat‐ment group (n=42) and the low molecular heparin treatment group (n=45) .The routine treatment group was given the prednisone treatment and the low molecular heparin treatment group was treated by low molecular heparin combined with prednisone .The re‐lated indicators of blood coagulation before and after treatment were detected and the clinical curative effects in two groups were an‐alyzed .Results The coagulation related indicators in the conventional treatment group had no statistically significant difference be‐tween before and after treatment (P>0 .05) ,the prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thrombin time(APTT) after treat‐ment in the low molecular heparin treatment group were significantly extended compared with before treatment ,while the concen‐trations of D‐dimer and fibrinogen were significantly decreased and the concentration of antithrombin Ⅲ was markedly increased compared with before treatment ,showing statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0 .05);the patients of the low molecular heparin group patients had no bleeding after treatment .Conclusion Low molecular heparin combined with predni‐sone can reduce the secondary high condensation state in NS without bleeding and has a significantly clinical effect .

Objective To observe the effect of the optimized formulas of extracts of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis on the survival status of the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) mice,and on the expression levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),so as to optimize the therapeutic regimen and to explore the therapeutic mechanism.Methods One hundred and five SPF ICR male mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group and 5 Chinese medicine treatment groups (group 1,2,3,4,5 of the optimized formula of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis extracts).The mice in the model group and the 5 treatment groups were intratracheally injected with bleomycin (5 mg/kg) to induce the pulmonary fibrosis model.On day 21,the lung tissues were taken out for the test.Hydroxyproline content was detected by alkaline hydrolysis method,and morphological changes of lung tissues were observed by hematoxylineosin (HE) staining and Mallory's staining methods.The expression levels of TGF-β and VEGF were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results The HE staining and Mallory's staining results showed that the pulmonary fibrosis in the 5 treatment groups was relieved as compared with that in the model group,especially in the group 1,and the alveolar structure recovered better.The 21-day overall death rate in the treatment groups were lower than those in the model group,and group 1 and group 5 had the lowest rates,the difference being statistically significant (P＜ 0.05).Compared with the model group,the content of hydroxyproline in the lung tissues of the treatment groups were decreased to some degrees,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of TGF-β and VEGF in model group were higher than those in normal group,but were deceased in the treatment groups to some degrees,except TGF-β expression in group 5,and the difference was significant(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion When the contents of Radix Astragali water-extract and Radix Angelicae Sinensis alcohol-extract were predominated,the extract formula exerts certain effects on decreasing hydroxyproline content in the lung tissues,inhibiting the expression levels of TGF-β and VEGF,and relieving the degree of pulmonary fibrosis in IPF mice.

Objective To detect miR-181d expression levels in colon cancer cell lines,and to study the functions of miR-181d on colon cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis.Methods RT qPCR was employed to study miR-181d cxpression levels in colon cancer cell line HCT116,HT29,LoVo,SW480 and SW620 cells,as well as in colon normal epithelial cell line HIEC.miR-181d mimic and control were transfected into LoVo cells while miR-181d inhibitor and control were transfected into SW620 cells.qRT-PCR was performed to validate the transfection efficiency.MTT assay was performed to measure cell proliferation while flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle and apoptosis rate.Results miR-181d was universally downregulated in all colon cancer cell lines compared to the colon normal epithelial cell line HIEC (F=29.34,P＜0.01).Overexpression of miR-181d in LoVo cells significantly decreased in vitro cell proliferation rate (F=5.403,P＜0.01).Flow cytometry indicated that cells at S phase were greatly decreased (t=4.71,P＜0.05) and apoptotic cells were gready increased compared to the control cells (t=3.47,P＜0.05).On the contrary,inhibition of miR-181d in SW620 cells significantly promoted cell proliferation (F=20.82,P＜0.01).Cell cycle was accelerated with significant increase in S phase compared to the control cells (t=2.92,P＜0.05),whereas apoptosis rano was significantly decreased (t=4.14,P＜0.05).Conclusion miR-181d was universally downregulated in colon cancer cell lines compared to the normal epithelial cell line.miR-181d inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis,thus functions as an tumor suppressive miRNA.
