Objective To explore the clinical value of dynamic electrocardiogram ( DCG) in the diagnosis of coronary artery damage (CAD) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods A total of 125 cases of children with KD admitted to hospital in recent years was analyzed , without CAD as the control group (83cases), and others as the experimental group (42cases).All cases were undertaken DCG and electrocardiogram (ECG).The results of heart rate, heart Rhythm, and voltage changes were compared be-tween two groups .Results The abnormal rate of total ECG and DCG in the control group was significantly lower than the experimental group ( P <0.01 ) , The total ECG and DCG abnormal rate was no difference in control group ( P >0.05 ) , but DCG abnormal rate of experimental group was significantly lower than ECG (χ2 =15.30, P <0.01).The sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, and diag-nostic accuracy of normal ECG , DCG and Joint were 59.5%, 86.7%, 0.463 , and 77.6%;95.2%, 94.0%, 0.892 , and 94.4 %;95.2%, 84.3%, 0.796 , and 88.0%.Common ECG results were lower than DCG and joint ( P <0.05 ) , But DCG results were sim-ilar with the joint ( P >0.05 ) .Conclusions DCG test provides scientific parameter in the diagnosis of CAD in children with KD , and is superior to normal ECG , but the value of Joint is the same .

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 To evaluate the role of nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-protein kinase G (PKG) signal transduction pathway in mitigation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by intrathecal morphine postconditioning in rats.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed without complications,weighing 250-350 g,were randomly assigned into 8 groups (n =6 each):normal saline group (NS group),morphine postconditioning group (Mp group),1-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME,NO synthase inhibitor) + morphine postconditioning group (L-NAME + MP group),ODQ (guanylate cyclase inhibitor) + morphine postconditioning group (ODQ + MP group),KT5823 (PKG inhibitor) + morphine postconditioning group (KT5823 + MP group),L-NAME group,ODQ group and KT5823 group.Myocardial ischemia was induced by 30 min of occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery followed by 2 h of reperfusion.At 25 rin of ischemia,normal saline 10 μl was intrathecally infused over 5 min in group NS,and morphine (3 μg/kg,10 μl) was intrathecally infused over 5 min in group MP.L-NAME (30 nmol,10 μl),ODQ (11 nmol,10 μl) and KT5823 (20 pmol,10 μl) were intrathecally injected at 10 rin before morphine postconditioning in L-NAME + MP,ODQ + MP and KT5823 + MP groups,respectively.Before myocardial ischemia (T0),at 25 and 30 min of ischemia (T1-2),and at 120 min of reperfusion (T3),MAP and HR were recorded,and rate-pressure product (RPP) was calculated.The rats were sacrificed at T3,and myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of myocardial infarct size as a percentage of area at risk (IS/AAR).Results MAP,HR and RPP were significantly lower at T1-3 than at T0 in each group.Compared with group NS,MAP was significantly increased at T3,and IS/AAR ratio was decreased in MP group,and no significant changes were found in the other groups.Compared with group MP,IS/AAR ratio was significantly increased in L-NAME + MP,ODQ + MP and KT5823 + MP groups,and no significant changes were found in the other groups.Conclusion NO-cGMP-PKG signal transduction pathway plays an important role in mitigation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by intrathecal morphine postconditioning in rats.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Newest Vital Sign(NVS). Methods The NVS was translated and back-translated. Cultural adaption of scale was performed by Delphi expert consultation and pilot study. The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the NVS was tested in 451 Chinese residents. Results Chinese version of the NVS consisted of 6 items with Pearson correlation between item and total score of scale ranging from 0.50 to 0.71. Two factors were abstracted by exploratory factor analysis and explained 61.51% of total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitness of the model was acceptable:comparative fit index was 0.96, Tuker-Lewis index was 0.92, standardized root mean square residual was 0.04, root mean square error of approximation was 0.077. Cronbach α coefficient was 0.71, retest reliability was 0.92. Conclusions Chinese version of the NVS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to test the health literacy of residents in China.

In our previous work, we found that trivalent dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)) have high affinity binding to cysteine residue 13 of rat hemoglobin. However, it is still unknown why arsenic intermediate metabolite DMA(III) has high binding affinity for Cysl3 but not for other cysteine residues 93, 140, 111 and 125. In order to better understand the molecular mechanism of DMA(III) with rat hemoglobin, we have done current study. So, SD rats were divided into control and arsenic-treated groups randomly. Arsenic species in lysate of red blood cells were analyzed by HPLC-ICP-MS, and then determined by a hybrid quadrupole TOF MS. In addition, trivalent DMA(III) binds to different cysteine residues in rat hemoglobin alpha and beta chains were also simulated by Molecular Docking. Only Cys13 in alpha chain is able to bind to DMA(III) from the experiment results. Cys13 of alpha chain in rat hemoglobin is a specific binding site for DMA(III), and we found that amino acids compose pockets structure and surround Cys13 (but not other cysteine residues), make DMA(III) much easy to bind cysteine 13. Taken together, the DMA(III) specific binding to Cys13 is related to spatial structure of Cys13.
