Objective To analyze the nursing interventions of two kinds of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL),so that we can provide personalized service for patients with PCNL and improved quality of nursing. Methods 140 cases of patients undergoing PCNL were chosen from January 2010 to January 2012.70 of them received standard PCNL,another 70 cases were given tubeless PCNL.The same nursing method was given before the operation,and personalized nursing was given according to difference in operation method.A self-designed questionnaire was conducted for satisfaction degree with nursing service of all patients on discharge. Results Satisfaction degree with psychological care,catheter nursing and complication nursing of tubeless PCNL was higher than standard PCNL. Conclusions Two methods of PCNL have become conventional therapy for upper urinary calculus,and careful nursing is very important,especially for tubeless PCNL.

Two cases of nevus of Ota resistant to multiple sessions of Q-switched laser treatment are reported.Both of the patients were females,who developed beige or blue patches on the left side of the face (zygomatic region,cheek)several months after birth.No conjunctiva or sclera was involved.The lesions spread to the left retroauricular region and posterior neck during pregnancy in one patient.Histopathological examination of the lesions showed scattered melanocytes and melanophages in lower dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue as well as apparent proliferation of collagen.Immunostaining for CD34 showed no abnormality in the distribution of vascular endothelial cells in these tissues.No obvious improvement was observed in either of the patient after more than 10 sessions(12 sessions in 1 case,and 13 sessions in the other case)of treatments with Q-switched alexandrite(755 nm)or Q-switched Nd:YAG laser(1064 nm).The immediate response of lesions to laser irradiation was unusual.Purpura or errhysis was absent in the lesions after repetitive irradiation with high-energy laser,but both were visible in the adjacent normal skin even after irradiation with low-energy laser.

BACKGROUND:During the restoration of residual molar crown, a little part of tooth is still remained commonly. After the restoration, with various forces, stress distribution affects directly the results after restoration. Finite element method is gradually applied in stress analysis on artificial tooth.OBJECTIVE: To establish the three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model of post-inlay restoration of the first residual mandibular molar crown so as to provide experimental data for improving model establishment of complicated teeth and analysis on the property of stress distribution of restoring methods.DESIGN: Repeated observation and measurement were given.SETTING: Department of Stomatology and Department of Radiology of First Hospital affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University;Department of Solid Mechanics,College of Traffics and Communications, South China University of Technology; Department of Restoration of Guanghua College of Stomatology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Department of Solid Mechanics, College of Traffics and Communications of South China University of Technology from November 2003 to December 2004. Six first mandibular molars on the right side with normal morphology in vitro were collected, and Toshiba Xpress/SX spiral CT machine, image photo synthesis software and finite element analysis software ANSYS were applied in the experiment.METHODS: 1 of the 6 first mandibular molars on the right side with normal morphology in vitro was selected for pulpectomy, which was the best in density and near to clinical requirement in morphology. With pulpectomy, the prosthesis of braking-lock post-inlay restoration was prepared. Spiral CT-cross scanning was performed in premolar crown before the restoration, the residual crown with post-inlay in main root canal after restoration and the residual crown with braking-lock second post-inlay restoration. With image photosynthesis software, 3-D digital model of residual tooth and metal part was established and the entire tooth model was prepared after adhesion of two parts. In order to provide better boundary conditions of simulated natural tooth in practice, alveolar bone was considered. Under Mesh order in ANSYS software, automatic mesh generation was performed in the model directly.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Establishment of 3-D finite element models of residual tooth before restoration, post inlay, and alveolar bone and tooth after restoration and the results of mesh generation.RESULTS: By establishing 3-D finite element models of residual tooth before restoration, post inlay, alveolar bone and tooth after restoration and automatic mesh generation, there were altogether 117720 units and 20988nodes. Good geometric similarity presents between the construction model of 3-D finite element model and solid tissue.CONCLUSION: Combination of 3-D finite-element model with spiral Ctcross technology establishes complex dental models, simulates practical conditions authentically and is good in operation.

Aim To investigate the effect of piperazinyl estrone(PE) on estrogen receptor expression and the transcriptional regulation of target genes.Methods Ovariectomized mice were given with PE in different doses (0.5 mg·kg~(-1),1 mg·kg~(-1),2 mg·kg~(-1))and estrone(0.71 mg·kg~(-1)) for 42 days,the protein expressions of Ers(Erαand Erβ)were shown by immunohistochemical method; To study transcriptional regulation of PE, PACT2-hERα and ERE2-TATA-LUC were co-transfected into MCF-7 cells by using Tfx 50 cationic liposome.Results Compared with ovx group, the groups with PE could up-regulate Ers of uteri in a dose-dependent manner,but its effect on Erα subtype was obvious.The classical ER signaling pathways could be activated by PE in co-transfected MCF-7 cells,but activation of PE was feebler than estrone with the same dose.Conclusion PE can up-regulate estrogen receptors in uteri. PE can transactivate ERE reportor gene through Erα and Erβ in MCF-7 cells, but its effect is feeble.

Objective To explore a new training method of nursing skills under 24 hours shift system in the practical training base in the college. Methods The practical training base in the college was rebuilt into a simulated hospital. 120 three-year-course nursing students in grade 2007 were divided into the control class and the experimental class with 60 students in each class. The control class adopted routine teaching method, including teacher demonstration, single project training, concentrated training before clinical practice. The experimental class participated in the tutoring mode of nursing skills under 24 hours shift system in simulated hospital. The cases were pre-designed and students acted as patients by tums. One teacher led 4 students into nursing skill training by day shift, evening shift and mid-night shift. The teaching effect was compared between two classes. Results There was significant difference between the two groups in comprehensive technique test and graduation theoretical test score. Clinical nursing teachers thought the skill training in simulated hospital under 24 hours shift system can help students prepare for the nursing work in hospital ahead of time and improve their comprehensive capability. Conclusions Training mode of nursing skills in simulated hospital under 24 hours shift system is feasible for enhancing nursing skills.

Objective evaluate the role of vagus nerve?muscarinic cholinergic receptor ( M recep?tor) pathway in mitigation of myocardial ischemia?reperfusion (I∕R) injury by intrathecal morphine postcon?ditioning in rats. Methods Seventy adult male Sprague?Dawley rats in which intrathecal catheters were suc?cessfully placed without complications, weighing 250-350 g, were randomly assigned into 7 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (Sham group), I∕R group, intrathecal morphine postconditioning group ( MP group) , vagal transection ( VT) group, VT+ intrathecal morphine postcondi?tioning group (VT+MP group), atropine (ATP, M receptor antagonist) + morphine postconditioning group ( ATP+MP group) , and ATP group. Myocardial I∕R was produced by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 2 h of reperfusion. Morphine ( 3μg∕kg, 10μl) was in?trathecally infused over 5 min starting from onset of reperfusion in MP group. Normal saline 10 μl was in?trathecally infused over 5 min starting from onset of reperfusion in NS group. The bilateral vagus nerves were transected at 10 min before reperfusion in VT+MP group. Atropine ( 0?1 mg∕kg, 0?5 ml) was intravenously infused over 5 min starting from 10 min before reperfusion in ATP+MP group. The occurrence of cardiac ar? rhythmia ( premature ventricular contractions ( PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia ( VT)∕ventricular fibrilla?tion ( VF) ) within the first 30 min of reperfusion was recorded. The rats were sacrificed at 120 min of reper?fusion, and myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of myocardial infarct size ( IS) as a per?centage of area at risk (AAR). IS∕AAR ratio was calculated. Results Compared with Sham group, the number of PVCs and VT∕VF and IS∕AAR ratio were significantly increased in the other groups. Compared with I∕R group, the number of PVCs and VT∕VF and IS∕AAR ratio were significantly decreased in MP group. Compared with MP group, the number of PVCs and VT∕VF and IS∕AAR ratio were significantly in?creased in VT+MP and ATP+MP groups. Conclusion Vagus nerve?M receptor pathway is involved in miti?gation of myocardial I∕R injury by intrathecal morphine postconditioning in rats.

Objective According to the level of serum cystatin C (Cys-C)in patients with multiple myeloma (MM),to explore its significance of early assessment to renal damage.Methods To select 42 patients with MM(MM group) and 30 healthy subjects(control group),and measure serum Cys-C,creatinine (SCr) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG).Results The level of serum Cys-C in MM group was significantly higher than that in control group [(2.34 ± 0.57) mg/L vs.(0.66 ± 0.12) mg/L],which increased with ISS stage[Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ stage was(1.77 ± 0.38),(2.11 ± 0.46),(3.14-± 1.07) mg/L](P＜ 0.05).Cys-C and β 2-MG,renal function had a positive correlation (r =0.760,0.694,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The increasing of Cys-C in MM patients is related to impaired renal function and tumor burden,which can be used as an early assessment indicators.
