Objective To investigate measures of preventing asphyxia neonatorum in order to reduce the rate of asphyxia neonatorum.Methods Clinical datas on a total of 78 cases of critical asphyxia neonatorum from the year 2003～2004 in Longgang Central Hospital were collected and analyzed.Related high risk factors and effective precaution measures of reducing the rate of asphyxia neonatorum were studied.Results The rate of asphyxia neonatorum from January 2003 to December 2004 was 4.22%,of which it was 1.70% of critical asphyxia neonatorum and 8% of treated deaths.The first seven related factors to critical asphyxia neonatorum of this group were:fetal distress(47%),premature delivery(49%),umbilical factors-torsion,prolapse,shortening(32%),breech presentation(26%),high risk PIH(14%),monstrosity(6%),placental abruption and placenta praevia(6%).Conclusion Effective measures of reducing critical asphyxia neonatorum are to strengthen the monitoring of pregnant women and their antenatal care so as to find and treat PIH early and correct breech presentation in time,try to reduce premature delivery,find early and properly treat fetal distress and oafs and prohibit illegal accouchement.

Objective To study the expression of LRP16 and E-cadherin(E-cad),ER,PR in eutopic endometrium and ectopic endometrium of endometriosis(EM),as well as to study the relation one another and the possible clinical significance.Methods The expression of LRP16 and E-cadherin,ER,PR in endometrium was detected by immunohistochemical two step staining methods in 72 patients with endometriosis which was finally confirmed by laparoscopic operation.Results The expression of LRP16 in epithelioglandular endochylema in eutopic endometrium of EM was significantly higher than that in ectopic endometrium(P

Objective To summarize the clinical results and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) through 4 years after single and multi-treatments of patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Clinical data of 73 AMD cases (95 eyes) diagnosed through fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and optic coherence tomography (OCT), treated with PDT were reviewed and analyzed in this hospital from June 2000 to June 2004. The changes of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus pictures, FFA, ICGA and OCT were compared before and after PDT. Follow-up time varied from 3 months to 4 years (mean, 2 years). Results The mean age of 73 patients was 67.8 years old. The BCVA was from (CF/10 cm) to 1.0. At the final follow up, the BCVA was improved (increase≥2 lines) in 39 eyes (41.1%), stabilized (?1 line) in 51 eyes (53.7%) and decreased 2 lines in 5 eyes (5.3%). Fundus hemorrhage and exudation reduced after PDT. FFA and ICGA showed CNV complete closure in 58 eyes (61.05%), partial closure in 6 eyes (6.32%), CNV incomplete closure in 22 eyes (23.16%) and recurrence in 9 eyes (9.47%). After once PDT of 12 eyes with early-stage AMD, the BCVA improved (from 0.6 to 1.5), CNV completely closed, and the OCT showed disappearance of macular edema and neursensory retinal detachment. No CNV recurred in our four years follow-up observation and the BCVA of the patients remained stable. The mean number of PDT treatment was 1.8 per eye in 95 cases. No serious local or systemic complications were encountered. Conclusions Single or multiple sessions of PDT can acheive long-term safety and efficacy. For early-stage AMD patients with minimally classic CNV, PDT can completely make CNV closed and reduce the risk of visual loss.

Objective To understand the current cognition status of stroke rehabilitation nursing knowledge in young nurses of the department of neurology.Methods Self-designed questionnaires were used for investigating 273 young nurses between 20 and 30 years old of the department of neurology of 4 tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou.Results The current status of stroke rehabilitation nursing knowledge of the nurses surveyed was generally at a low level.There were no significant differences among nurses with different education degrees,professional titles and whether their relatives suffered from stroke.However,there were significant differences among nurses with different professional lives and whether the department carried out rehabilitation care.Conclusions Nursing educators and managers need to find a new way to improve the level of stroke rehabilitation nursing knowledge of the young nurses.

Background It is well known that tissue factor (TF) is expressed in tumor cells and neovascular endothelial cells of tumor.It plays an important role in the formation of new blood vessels as well as the growth and metastasis of tumor.However,whether TF is expressed or not in choroidal melanoma(CM)is unclear.Objective This study is to investigate the expression of TF in a choroidal melanoma cell line and human choroidal melanoma.Methods The expression of TF was studied in the optimal choroidal melanoma-1 (OCM-1) cell line and ten specimens from CM patients using immunhistochemistry.Ten normal eye specimens from donators were used as controls.Results The TF protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm.It is over-expressed in OCM-1 cells with positive rate of 85.33±5.47%.Hyper-expression of TF also was found in human choroidal melanoma with a positive rate of 41.60±14.17%.The integrated optical density (IOD) of positive cells in CM was 33853.67±16445.30,and only 5.65±4.26% of positive cells was found in normal human choroidal tissue.The IOD of TF expression in normal human choroidal tissue was 426.43±316.62.Conclusion The overexpression of TF in CM cells may be a new immunotherapy target for CM treatment.

Objective:To extract, separate and identify the flavonoids in Humulus Scandens and detect their cytotoxic effect on cells HepG2. Methods: After Humulus scandens bing was extracted by alcohol, luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside ( LGL) and cosmoiin ( AGL) were obtained by using column chromatography and identified by spectral analysis. The inhibitory effects of LGL and AGL on HepG2 cells were detected by a typan blue dye method. Results:The main flavonoids in Humulus Scandens were LGL and AGL. When the concentration of LGL and AGL was increased from 6. 25 μmol·L-1 to 100. 0 μmol·L-1 , the inhibition rate of LGL was increased from 28. 8% to 95. 2% and that of AGL was increased from 3. 6% to 21. 3%. Conclusion: LGL has notable inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, while the inhibitory effect of AGL is not obvious.

Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a progressive vision-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus (DM),but its pathogenic mechanism is still unclear.Researches showed that growth arrest-specific gene product 6 (Gas6) /TAM system participates in pathogenesis and development of DR,and stromal-derived factors (SDF) vary in 2-type DM patients.However,whether Gas6/TAM and SDF-1 are associated with DR is below understood.Objective This study was to determine the relationship between the staging of DR and the levels of serum Gas6,SDF-1α and SDF-1β in DM patients.Methods A prospective cohord study was designed in this study.Ninety 2-type DM patients were included in the 3rd Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University Hospital from January to August in 2013.The patients were grouped into the non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group,background DR group (BDR) and proliferative DR (PDR) group,with 30 for each group.Thirty normal volunteers were enrolled in the same hospital and same period.The periphery blood 2 ml was collected from all the subjects under the consent inform.The levels of serum Gas6,SDF-1α and SDF-1β were assayed by ELISA,and leukocytes,neutrophils,plasma triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (CHOL),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (H DL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were detected and compared among the 4 groups.The correlations of serum Gas6,SDF-1 α and SDF-1 β changes with blood inflammatory cells and blood lipid were analyzed.Results The plasma CHOL concentrations were 4.93(4.14,5.44),5.02(4.35,5.69),4.54(3.85,5.93) and 5.99(5.11,6.89)mmol/L in the normal control group,NDR group,BDR group and PDR group,respectively,and the blood CHOL concentrations were significantly higher in the PDR group than those of the normal control group,NDR group,BDR group (P =0.002,P =0.007,P =0.006).White blood cell counts in the normal control group,BDR group were higher than those of the PDR group (P =0.034,P =0.015),neutrophil counts in the BDR group were higher than those of the PDR group (P =0.024),HDL-C in the NDR group was higher than that in the PDR group (P =0.032).LDL-C in the PDR group was higher than that in the normal control group.Compared with the normal control group,serum Gas6 levels were significantly lower in the NDR group and BDR group (P =0.048,P =0.006),and the serum Gas6 level showed an insignificant increase in the PDR group in comparison with BDR group (P =0.297).Serum SDF-1α levels in the PDR group was significantly higher than that in the BDR group (P =0.033) ;serum SDF-1β levels in the PDR group,BDR group were significantly higher than that in the NDR group (P =0.011,P =0.008) and normal control group (P =0.030,P =0.002).Weaker positive correlation was observed between the serum Gas6 and CHOL,TG,LDL-C levels (r=0.285,r=0.200,r=0.241,all at P＜0.05),between SDF-1α and SDF-1β (r=0.190,P＜0.05) as well as between SDF-1β and white blood cell (r=0.183,P＜0.05).Serum Gas6 served as dependent variable,while white blood cell,neutrophil,CHOL,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,SDF-1α,SDF-1β served as independent variables,multiple stepwise regression analysis showed Gas6 =170.791 + 5.283CHOL (F =5.021,P =0.027).Conclusions Serum Gas6,SDF-1α and SDF-1β probably participate in the development of DR in 2-type diabetic patients.Gas6,SDF-1 α,SDF-1 β may play roles by affecting blood glucose level,angiogenesis,inflammatory cells and blood lipid metabolism.

Objective To explore the overall relationship between social support and mental health among Chinese nurses and analyze potential moderators and provide a theoretical basis for improving nurses' mental health level. Methods The CNKI database, CQVIP, WAN-FANG DATA and China Outstanding Dissertations Database were searched for literature, in which the social support rating scale (SSRS, measured social support) and self-rating symptom scale (SCL-90, measured mental health) was used to investigate the correlation of social support and mental health in Chinese nurses. A total of 25 articles (including 25 independent samples, 4747 nurses) met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed by meta-analysis and meta-regression. Results The overall mean effect size calculation showed a significant negative correlation between social support and depression among Chinese nurses ( r=-0.17, 95% CI=-0. 24~-0.09, p<0.01). In the following analysis, the objective support, compared with subjective support and utilization degree, was more strongly correlated with SCL-90 (r =-0.20,-0.15,-0.13, Q =13.45, p < 0.01). In addition, the relationship could be influenced by factors such as age, publishing type, publishing age and region. Conclusions The social support is closely related to mental health in Chinese nurses, and the relationship could be influenced by the related factors. At the same time, the relationship between objective support and mental health is more closely related than subjective support and support utilization.
