Denture adhesive(DA)Protefix was used in 31 edentulous patients with complete denture.NRS evaluation showed that applica-tion of Protefix decreased the uncomfortable score(P <0.05)at 2 h,1 d,7 d after use.Protefix improved denture retention,stability and masticatory function.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) combined with endoscopic variceal sclerosis (EVS) for treating patients with esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB).Methods Ninety patients with EVB were divided into observation group and control group by treatment methods with 45 patients each.The observation group was given EVL combined with EVS and the control group was given EVL.The elimination of varicosity after the first treatment,time and times required to eliminate,rehaemorrhagia,varicosity recurrence,complication and prognosis of the 2 groups were observed.Results The elimination rate of varicosity of observation group was 97.8％(44/45),the control group was 93.3％(42/45),there was no significant difference (P＞ 0.05).The elimination rote of varicosity after the first treatment of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group,the time and times required to eliminate were significantly lower than those of control group [71.1％(32/45) vs.48.9％(22/45),(17.24±5.65) d vs.(36.01 ± 11.81) d,(1.42 ±0.47) times vs.(1.87 ±0.61) times,P ＜ 0.05 or ＜0.01].The rates of early-onset rehaemorrhagia,delayed rehaemorrhagia and varicosity recurrence of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group [4.4％(2/45) vs.17.8％(8/45),6.7％(3/45) vs.22.2％ (10/45),2.2％ (1/45) vs.22.2％ (10/45),P ＜0.05].The rate of complication of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group [11.1％ (5/45) vs.42.2％ (19/45),P ＜0.01].Conclusion The EVL combined with EVS is an effective method for emergency hemostasis and preventing rehaemorrhagia in the patients with EVB.

Objective To understand and explore the lived study feeling and experience of nursing undergraduate students during high- fidelity simulation training so as to provide the evidence of reforming teaching methods and performing the teaching practice of nursing educators. Methods Phenomenological study of qualitative research was used. In- depth interviews were conducted among 4 focus groups. 28 nursing undergraduate students were interviewed to understand their lived study feeling. Results 5 themes were emerged using Colaizzi's phenomenologic method, including cooperating explicitly, integrating theory with practice closely, promoting disease observation ability and nursing decision making, enhancing self-confidence. Conclusions High- fidelity simulation training was beneficial to integrate theory with practice, cultivate students' comprehensive ability and increase clinical practical opportunities.

Mechanical force has essential effects on cellular behaviors such as proliferation, migration and differentiation, and the mechanism of mechanotransduction is still one of the hot spots in mechanobiology study. Traditional methods could not provide accurate evaluation of the protein activation signal upon mechanical stress application. The development of fluorescence protein technology greatly promoted the understanding of mechanotransduction. In particular, genetically-encoded biosensors based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique has achieved a real-time dynamic observation of living cell signal protein activity, which provides a powerful tool for the in-depth study of biomechanics. In this paper, we provide a summary on recent progress of FRET application in biomechanics. Firstly we introduce the FRET technology, and then we summarize three methods to integrate the mechanical stimulation with the FRET imaging system on cell experiments. After that, the important progress of biomechanical research on signal pathway made by FRET technology, such as cytoskeleton, Rho family, calcium and cellular physical stress visualization, are also discussed. Finally, we point out the bottleneck of the future development in FRET technology, and also make the prospect of the application of FRET in mechanotransduction. In summary, FRET technology provides a powerful tool for the studies of mechanotransduction, which will advance our systematic understanding on the molecular mechanisms about how cells respond to mechanical stimulation.

Objective To investigate the methods for the detection of serum samples with low-concentration HBsAg and its clin-ical value.Methods Serum samples with HBsAg weak positive were measured by ELISA or using Roch cobas e601 were collected from the clinical laboratory.The samples with low-concentration HBsAg were confirmed by neutralization assay by using Lizhu ELISA reagent Kit or Roch cobas e601 analyzer.at the same time,ALT/AST concentrations and HBV DNA copies were also deter-mined.Results Among 53 samples that showed weak positive reaction by using Kehua reagent kit,37 samples were positive in neu-tralization test,while the other 16 samples were negative.Among 18 samples that showed weak positive reaction tested by using Roch cobas e601 analyzer,13 samples showed positive in neutralization test,and the other 5 samples showed negative.Conclusion The results of HBsAg test varies in different detection System.The clinical significance of samples with low-concentration HBsAg needs further study.

Sera were collccted from mice immunized separately with schizonts, merozoitcs or different parasite stages, or from mice which had been recovered from Plasmodium yoelii yoelii infection. The effect of protection of cach serum against P. y. infection was assayed by passivc transfer technique. It was shown that only sera collected from mice which either had been trcated with chloroquine or had been naturally recovcred from P. y. infections can transfer certain dcgree of resistance to normal mice. The cffectivc sera delayed the appearance and the peak of parasitemia, and prolonged the survival time of the challenged mice. After these sera were fractionatcd by 50%(NH4)2SO4 precipitation, the prccipitated fraction showed similar degree of protection as the non-fractionated sera. Chloroquine-treated serum was shown to be able to inhibit the invasion of new erythrocytes by marozoite in vitro. 35S-methionine-labelcd antigens were precipitated by protective or non-protective sera and the bands were compared on SDS-PAGE and autoradiogram. Since thc antigcn bands of 245, 210, 190, 156 and 130 KD can only bc precipitated by protective sera but not by non-protectivc sera, it is possible that the protection of chloroquine-treated serum is induced by the specific antibodies against the above antigens.

The result Shows that, inhibition of the 500?g/mL of cephalosporin 1000?g/mL of penicillin, 500?g/mL of streptimycin, on the Bacillus Licheniformis,Whe the Phis 7.0. This provides a sicentific basis for using the preparation of Bacillus licheniformis.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment are two critical factors in reducing the cerebral damage and improving prognosis for ischemic stroke patients.The only proved effective way is to intravenously administer recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for thrombolytic therapy.However,the narrow time window restricts its application.One rapid and effective blood test,or auxiliary examinations such as computer tomography which may aid early diagnosis of ischemic stroke would contribute to treatment and intervention promptly,then take a pivotal role for the disease prognosis.Herein,the reported proteins and RNA markers are summarized and analysed in clinical application of acute ischemic stroke likewise.
