Objective To compare the cognitive difference of subjects'responses to the same visual stimuli under two different priming conditions,and to discuss the influence of inversion effect and configural changes upon facial recognition.Methods Priming pattern was employed,and subjects were induced to recognize the same stimuli as schematic faces or three English letters under different priming conditions.The participants'accuracy and reaction times were compared in two priming conditions. Results Participants'accuracy of the comparison stimuli in facial priming condition decreased significantly by inversion effect((79.03±10.53)%vs(89.43±9.98)%,P<0.01);reaction times of priming stimuli and comparison stimuli were delayed by inversion effect significantly((3720.40±607.71)ms vs(2998.33±544.02)ms,(3521.80±1038.20)ms vs(2750.87±867.13)ms,P<0.01),and there was no influence of inversion effect upon the reaction times of English letter stimuli(P>0.05).Correlations of accuracy to reaction times reached no significant difference under two conditions.Conclusion Priming effect make sense in the cognition,and there was a priming stage before the facial configuration.Inversion effect shows up in the face priming condition,and vanish in the English letter priming condition,which demonstrate the importance of configuration and inversion effect in the facial cognition.What's more,such effect can't be explained by the changes of cognitive difficulty.

Objective To investigate the regulative effect of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) 3'-UTR in HT29 colon cancer cells. Methods Total RNA was extracted from HT29 colon cancer cells and used as a template to amplify COX-2 gene by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Using PCR technique to construct a series of luciferase reporter gene expression vectors containing various regions of the 3'-UTR of COX-2 (including the whole gene region, gene region between 1 to 156 bp, gene region between 1 to 347 bp, gene region between 1 to 1006 bp, gene region between 156 to 347 bp and gene region between 157 to 2217 bp). These reporter gene expression vectors and pRL-SV40 were co-transfected in HT29 colon cancer cells by Lipofectamine 2000. The relative luciferase activity of the HT29 colon cancer cells was tested. All data were analyzed via t test. Results The luciferase activity was reduced by 70.4%, 37.4%, 64.8% and 24.2% in HT29 colon cancer cells transfected with the whole COX-2 gene region, gene region between 1 to 156 bp, gene region between 1 to 347 bp and gene region between 156 to 347 bp, respectively (t = 6.13, 7.73, 9.75, 3.92, P < 0.05). No obvious changes of luciferase activity were observed in HT29 colon cancer cells transfected with gene regions between 1 to 1006 bp and between 157 to 2217 bp (t = 0.13, 0.01, P > 0.05). Conclusions A region between 156-347 bp in the 3'-UTR of COX-2 has been found which can down-regulate the expression of COX-2 with the cooperation of the ARE element. The 3'-UTR of COX-2 contains several control elements that regulate the expression of COX-2 in colon cancer cells.

Objective To establish and apply the statistical information system of patient satisfaction, improve statistical work practice of patient satisfaction. Methods Developed the patient satisfaction research statistic information system which was generated by authority, security settings, the correction and collection of the patient questionnaire, multi-dimension statistics and a copy of data and statistics form through the content and data demand of nursing job satisfaction questionnaire. The system would count up the satisfaction from the whole hospital, every department, every dimension and every item as well as the unsatisfaction item and developed the statistic comparison chart automatically. Results After the formal operation for 6 months, the input time data of patient satisfaction statistic information system decreased from 2.0 days to 0.5 days, the statistic time decreased from 2.0 days to 0.5 days, which saved 6 statistic workers and 3 computers. Conclusions The patient satisfaction statistic information system improves the efficiency and accuracy of data collection dramatically, avoid the waste of human and material resources, achieve the function that data can develop the charts automatically and multi-dimension statistic, which provide the data support for the nursery management work.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at point Neiguan on mouse myocardial hypertrophy.Methods Thirty-sixty healthy C57BL6 mice were randomized into blank, model and treatment groups, 12 rats each. In the treatment group, an acupuncture needle was inserted into point Neiguan and retained for 15 min, once daily. After nine days of treatment, the ratios of cardiac weight/tibial length were compared between the groups. Left ventricular myocardial tissues were processed by Masson trichrome staining in every group of mice. The differences in myocardial fiber arrangement and collagen fiber distribution between the groups were observed under the ordinary optical microscope in 100 times of field of vision. Sarcomere structure, myofibril arrangement, collagen fibers and mitochondria in injured myocardial tissues were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Heart rate increased significantly in the model group and decreased significantly in the acupuncture group compared with the blank group. Cardiac weight and the ratios of cardiac weight/tibial length increased significantly in the model and acupuncture groups compared with the blank group (P<0.01) and decreased significantly in the acupuncture group compared with the model group (P<0.01). In the model group, myocardial tissues had compensatory hypertrophy with incontinuous status, and myocardial transverse striations had severe disorder/disruption, karyopyknosis appeared and cytoplasmic eosinophilic change became obvious in few of the rats. The results were better in the acupuncture group than in the model group. In the model group, part of myofibrils had focal fusion, interstitial collagen fibers proliferated and mitochondria had swelling and compensatory increase. The results were also better in the acupuncture group than in the model group.Conclusions Acupuncture at point Neiguan can reduce the production of collagen fibers and mitochondria, improve the arrangement of sarcomere structure and delay the progression of myocardial hypertrophy.
