OBJECTIVE To cut down the occurring rate of the hospital infections in the neonate ward. METHODS To summarize the experiences and to approach the methods for the infection control and the nursing management for hospital infections in neonate ward in last ten years(1995-2004). RESULTS Thermostats,blue-ray boxes,resuscitators,respirator tubes and some other devices which usually applying in neonate ward were easily lead to the hospital infections. CONCLUSIONS The nursing department plays an important role in controlling the hospital infections,and the head nurse is the key to the question,and all the members mobilization is the guarantee for putting the measures into effect.

Different maternal positions and movement are utilized gradually in clinic while today it appears that the majority of women in the world birth in supine position or lithotomy position. To know the current situation and progress of the studies concerning different maternal positions and movement during labour and to explore the current relevant problems in clinic. The search strategy was designed to identify the relevant literature. The search was limited to the last 20 years as current literature was sought. Thirty eight papers were identified as relevant and included in this literature review. The majority studies is concerning about the outcome of mother and fetus. There is no unitized clinical pathway currently, and the objects implemented are limited. There is no study related to the requirement of implementing different maternal positions and movement during labor in clinic and the effect of pelvic floor function after parturition. The positive effect of implementing different maternal positions and movement during labor can be sure for the process of parturition and the outcome of mother and baby. Childbirth in different maternal positions and movement is the trend in the future. Therefore, how to utilize different maternal positions and movement during labor well, it is still a huge challenge for medical staff. And more convincing studies and information are needed as evidence in clinic.

Objective:To develop the evaluation index system for clinical teaching quality supervision of nursing undergraduates.Methods:Based on the theory of Donabedian's structure-process-outcome quality model, literature review, semi-structured interviews, Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process were adopted to determine the teaching quality supervision index system for clinical nursing interns.Results:After two rounds of expert consultation, questionnaire response rates were 92.86%(26/28), 100.00%(26/26); expert authority coefficients were 0.871, 0.887 and the two rounds of expert consultation authority coefficient was 0.879; coefficients of variation ranged from 0.00 to 0.15 and 0.04 to 0.12; coordination coefficients ranged from 0.256 to 0.667 and 0.402 to 0.804 ( χ2 values were 60.276-427.571, P<0.01). The final index system consisted of 3 first-level indicators, 9 second-level indicators, and 36 third-level indicators. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights of all indexes, and the consistency test (CR<0.1) was performed. Conclusions:The construction of the index system for clinical teaching quality supervision of nursing undergraduates is scientific with reasonable weight. It can provide reference for the improvement and reform of clinical nursing teaching work.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cystain C,urinary neutrophil gelatinase?associated lipocalin(NGAL),uri?nary kidney injury molecule?1(KIM?1)and preeclampsia,and explore the value in predicting preeclampsia and early kidney damage. Methods A total of 30 cases of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia,30 cases of mild preeclampsia and 60 cases of healthy pregnant women admitted in the Second Hospital of Jilin University from October 2014 to July 2015 were enrolled for the study. ELISA was performed to check urinary KIM?1 and urinary NGAL,and the serum cystatin C was detected by immune turbidity method. Results KIM?1,NGAL,serum cystatin C in the preeclampsia were significantly higher than the normal control group(P<0.05). In addition,with the development of their concentrations,the progression of pre?eclampsia gradually rise;BMI,e?GFR,urine protein/creatinine ratio,KIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL are the risk factors for preeclampsia;uKIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL and combined predictors of preeclampsia are taken as the early indicators of renal injury,which sensitivity are separately 83.3%,75%,88.9%,96.8%;specificity are respectively 72.7%,70%,75.6%,86.4%. Conclusion KIM?1,serum scystatin C and NGAL may reflect the progression of renal injury in preeclampsia .Combined predictors have a higher predictive value in the early renal injury of the preeclampsia.

Objective To observe the expression of leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin(Ig)-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) on Treg cells in children with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and the level of soluble LAIR-1 (sLAIR-1),LAIR-2 in peripheral blood,and to discuss the possible role of LAIR in the pathogenesis of childhood ITP.Methods The levels of LAIR-1 on Treg cells of peripheral blood were measured in 36 children with ITP by using flow cytometry.Plasma levels of sLAIR-1 and LAIR-2 were measured by adopting enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Real-time PCR was used to measure both LAIR-1 mRNA and LAIR-2 mRNA.Twenty-eight healthy children served as the healthy control group.Results The expression of Treg cells in children with ITP was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group [(2.05 ± 0.85) % vs (3.04 ± 1.03) %,t =4.198,P < 0.001].The expression rate of LAIR-1 on Treg cells and tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP-2) in children with ITP group had no statistically significant difference with the healthy control group [(71.18 ± 13.36) % vs (67.69 ± 13.07)%,t=1.045,P>0.05;(1.20 ± 0.97) % vs (0.85 ±0.66)%;t=1.718,P>0.05].The levels of sLAIR-1 and LAIR-2 in plasma in children with ITP group were increased significantly than those in the healthy control group [(20.53 ±4.32) μg/L vs (17.51 ± 5.15) μg/L,t =2.424,P <0.05;(5.83 ± 1.08) μg/L vs (5.19 ± 1.24) μg/L,t =2.267,P < 0.05].The LAIR-1 mRNA expression level in children with ITP group was significantly increased compared with the healthy control group (t =2.851,P < 0.05),but not the LAIR-2 mRNA expression level (t =1.715,P > 0.05).Conclusions The expression of Treg cells in children with ITP is decreased,and it may be associated with the onset of ITP,and it may suggest that LAIR-1 does not play a leading role in Treg cells when ITP occurrs.And the levels of sLAIR-1,LAIR-2 in plasma are both increased,suggesting that LAIR-1,LAIR-2 may be one of the factors of immune disorders in children with ITP.

Background and purpose:It has been reported that gap junctional (GJ) function was signiifcantly decreased in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cell lines. However, the increased GJ suppress tumorigenesis and the development of liver cancer. This study therefore aimed to examine the effect of simvastatin on GJ function between Hep3b cells. Thus, the exploition of drugs to increase GJ function between liver cancer cells will provide an efifcient approach to ifght against liver tumor as well as increase cytotoxicity of antitumor agents.Methods:SRB was used to assay the toxicity of simvastatin. The effect of simvastatin on GJ function was determined by “Parachute” dye-coupling assay and scrape loading/dye transfer assay.Results:Pretreated Hep3b cells with simvastatin at the concentration of 1, 5 or 10 μmol/L for 24 h did not induce the cytotoxicity. So simvastatin at the concentration of 5 and 10 μmol/L would not reduce the amount of GJ on cell membranes. “Parachute” dye-coupling assay showed that the treatment with 5 and 10 μmol/L simvastatin for 4 h enhanced the dye spread through GJ in Hep3b cells. Similarly, scrape loading/dye transfer assay showed that simvastatin could induce the increasing spread of lucifer yellow (Ly, Sigma) around the scoifng cells with increasing concentrations.Conclusion:Simvastatin could increase the GJ function of Hep3b cells.
