0.05) The above amount was enough to maintain the subjects two weeks in good vitamin C nutrition as judged by steady plasma ascorbic acid content of about 1 mg%. At the end of maintenance period, 400mg of ascorbic acid was administered. The urinary excretion of ascorbic acid in 24 hours was about 30% of the test dose.This method is reliable but not suitable for large scale analysis as it involves daily urine collection and analysis.The urinary excretion of ascorbic acid decreased during menstrual period in women subjects.

Objective To investigate the expression of Aiolos transcription factor in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),and to explore their clinical significance.Methods Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression of Aiolos transcription factor in PBMCs from 19 patients with active SLE,13 patients with stable SLE and 30 healthy volunteers.The relationship between the expression of Aiolos transcription factor and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) was analyzed.Results A significant difference was noted in the relative expression of Aiolos transcription factor between SLE patients and normal controls(0.56±0.17 vs 0.81±0.09,P<0.01) and between patients in active stage and those in stable stage (0.52±0.14 vs 0.65±0.19,P<0.05).In addition,the expression level of Aiolos protein was negatively correlated with SLEDAI in patients (r=-0.65,P<0.01).Conclusion A decrease is observed in the expression of Aiolos transcription factor in SLE patients.which is correlated with the disease activity in SLE.

Objective To choose a reasonable non-drug treatment program for women with postpartum breast pain. Methods Based on an adequate assessment of the patients′ condition, the clinical questions were proposed and the references were searched in a series of databases, such as Cochrane Library, PubMed, Ovid, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, CBM. Results A preliminary search of 484 articles on cabbage therapy for postpartum breast pain was carried. Through rigorous preliminary screening and screening, 11 articles were finally included, including 2 systematic reviews, 2 randomized controlled trials and 7 quasi-experiment. Through the analysis of the inclusion literature, the data was extracted, and the evidence and summary evidence were strictly evaluated.According to the results of evidence, based on the patients′ condition and the wishes of the family, the cold and hot cabbage leaves were alternately applied to the breast of 10 postpartum women with breast engorgement, the breast distended pain were improved. Conclusions The method of evidence-based nursing can provide safe and effective treatment for postpartum women with breast engorgement.

Objective:To explore the surgical method and therapeutic effect of repairing digital tip defect with free flap of proximal perforating branch of proper palmar digital artery.Methods:From March, 2009 to January, 2021, 15 patients with soft tissue defects at the tip of 16 digits were repaired with free perforator flap of proper palmar digital artery. The flap was obtained from the ulnar side of an index finger, on both sides of a middle finger and on the proximal side of the radial side of the ring finger. The size of flaps was 1.8 cm × 1.2 cm - 4.5 cm × 2.2 cm. The flap carried dorsal branch of proper palmar digital nerve and 0.5-4.5 cm of arteriae digitales palmares propriae. The donor digital artery was re-anastomosed in 3 cases 3 digits, transferred and anastomosed in 2 cases and un-anastomosed in 10 cases 11 digits. The dorsal branch of the proper palmar digital nerve in the flap was anastomosed with the proper palmar digital nerve of the finger stump at the recipient site to restore the sensation of flap, and the donor sites at the wrist transverse stripes or elbow transverse stripes were directly sutured. Regular follow-up via outpatient visit, telephone or WeChat interviews was conducted to observe the appearance, sensation and recovery of the flap and finger joint function.Results:After surgery, the flaps and donor site skin grafts of 15 cases with 16 digits were all survived, with first stage healing. A 4 months to 12 years follow-up showed that the flaps were in good texture and full shape with TPD at 7 - 11 mm. The joint function of digits was recovered well, and there was no complaint about uncomfortable donor site. According to the Michigan Hand Function Questionnaire, all 15 patients were satisfied with the overall appearance and function of the hands. According to TAM evaluation standard, all the digits of 15 patients were in excellent.Conclusion:Free flap of the proximal perforating branch of proper palmar digital artery is an ideal in the repair of digital tip soft tissue defect, as it has the advantages of an anatomical constant vessel, hidden donor site, less trauma caused, simple flap resection and good therapeutic effect.
