Objective:To explore the effects of antisense oligonucleotide(ASODN)of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)on the apoptosis of human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(HSF)and the related mechanisms.Methods:The hypertrophic scar fibroblasts were cultured in vitro and were divided into the following 3 groups:CTGF-ASODN-treated group, liposome control group and blank control group.The distribution of CTGF-ASODN in HSF of different phases was observed under fluorescent microscope in 3 groups.Flow cytometer was employed to detect the apoptotic rate of HSF and the expression of Fas.The expression of CTGF,Fas and bcl-2 mRNA in HSF was assessed by RT-PCR.Results:24 h after transfection,large quantity of yellow-green fluorescence was seen in the HSF cytoplasm of CTGF-ASDON group in a scattered or doted manner, but not found in that of the other 2 groups.The apoptosis rate of HSF in CTGF-ASDON group was significantly higher than those in the other 2 groups(P

Objective advance“equal pay for equal work” standard for contract nurses,and approach for effective means of stabilizing nursing staff.Methods in order to improve of nursing staff's ideological understanding,personnel department and nursing department utilize their advantages of political work in the the Communist Party,the Communist Youth League and the Labor Unions,and bridge the cap between contract and staff nurses in clinical department in terms of welfares and promotion to realize the goal of “equal pay for equal work”.Results all contract nurses join the Labor Union.contract nurses play active role in the Commtmist Youth League.Salaries,insurance and other welfares for contract nurses are guaranteed.Contract nurses enjoy equal opportunity of promotion in technical positions and of open recruitment as registered nurses.Conclusion treatment disparity has been effectively alleviated between contract and staff nurses,so that the nursing staff becomes stable.

A new kind of curcin (curcin 2), induced by several kinds of stresses from Jatropha curcas leaves, under the control of the 35S CaMV (cauliflower mosaic virus) promoter, was introduced into tobacco genome by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method. Curcin 2 protein was only detected in the transgenic tobacco plants transformed with the cur2p fragment (coding premature curcin 2 protein), but not in the plants transformed with cur2m fragment (coding mature curcin 2 protein). The transgenic lines expressing curcin 2 showed increased tolerance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).

ObjectiveTo explore the role of ssomatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in evaluating and predicting the lower limb motor function of patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods19 patients (13 male, 6 female) with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed according to the standard of Chinese Classifications of the Cerebral Vascular Disease were chosen as the case group and 18 patients (11 male, 7 female) with non-nerve system injury were taken as the control group. All patients of two groups were received SEP test within 7 days after onset and latency and amplitude values of SEP of two groups were compared. To the case group, SEP was tested again at 30th day after admission, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) was also carried out at same times of two SEP tests, and the correlation of SEP and FMA scores was analyzed.ResultsThe difference of latency and amplitude value of SEP test between the case group and control group was significantly (P<0.01). The latency value of SEP in lower limb was correlated with FMA scores (P<0.01). But the amplitude value was no difference between the onset and 30th day after admission in the case group.ConclusionSEP is sensitive in the acute stage of stroke. SEP has significant value for predicting the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction and correlates with the clinical FMA scores. The value of amplitude is not sensitive.

Aim The effect of tetrandrine on TGF-?1 mRNA expression in glomerulosclerosis rat was observed. Methods The rats were randomly divided into four groups, such as the normal control group (sham operative rat), glomerulosclerosis model group,tetrandrine group and amlodipine group. The expression of TGF-?1 mRNA was analyzed by Northern blot hybridization. Results The expressions of TGF-?1 mRNA in two treating groups were much lower than untreated model group. There were no difference between these two treating groups. Conclusion Tetrandrine can decrease the expression of TGF-?1 mRNA in glomerulosclerosis rat induced by unilateral renctomy plus adriamycin.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the reason and strategy for failure of posterior pedicle screw short-segment internal fixation on thoracolumbar fractures.

METHODSFrom March 2008 to December 2010,the clinical data of 18 patients with thoracolumbar fracture failed in posterior pedicle screw short-segment internal fixation were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 7 females with an average age of 37.2 years (ranged, 19 to 63). The time from the first operation to complication occurrence was from 6 to 44 months with an average of 14.3 months. Of them,fusion failure was in 7 cases (combined with screw breakage in 4 cases), the progressive neuro-dysfunction was in 5 cases,the progressive lumbodorsal pain was in 6 cases. All 18 patients with kyphosis were treated with anterior internal fixation remaining posterior fixation (9 cases) and anterior internal fixation after posterior fixation removal (9 cases).

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up from 18 to 50 months with an average of 30.5 months. No intetnal fixation loosening and breakage were found, moreover, X-ray and lamellar CT showed bone healing well. Preoperative, postoperative at 3 months and at final follow-up, ODI score was respectively 31.6+/-5.1, 8.6+/-5.7, 8.3+/-3.2; VAS score was respectively 7.2+/-2.3, 2.3+/-0.7, 2.1+/-1.1; kyphosis angle was respectively (-21.2/-+7.8 degreeso, (-5.3+/-6.8 degrees ), (-5.8+/-7.8 )degrees. Compared with preoperative data ,above-listed items had obviously ameliorated(P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONTreatment of thoracolumbar fracture with posterior pedicle screw short-segment internal fixation may result in the complications such as bone nonunion ,internal fixation breakage and progressive kyphosis. Anterior reconstruction may be a good strategy for the failure of posterior operation.

Objective To understand the basic situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)management and prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organism(MDRO)infection in medical institutions in Hubei Province.Methods Questionnaires were used to investigate the basic situation of HAI management and MDRO infection in 47 tertiary and secondary hospitals in Hubei Province.Results 47 hospital were enrolled in this study,HAI management full-time staff was allocated with a median of 0.90/250 beds;in 2015,the isolation rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae,carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa,carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus were 39.13%,4.13%,19.44%,63.60%,and 2.77%respectively.47 hospitals all carried out surveillance on MDROs,28(59.57%)hospitals were installed HAI monitoring system software,could directly obtain data through collecting with the laboratory system.The diagnosis of MDRO infection was mainly based on the combined diagnosis by HAI full-time personnel and clinicians(26 hospitals,55.32%).44(93.62%)hospitals regularly convened coordination meeting on prevention and control of MDROs,in 2015,hand hygiene compliance rate were 10.0%-89.2%by self-inspection;42(89.36%)hospitals routinely prescribed isolation orders for patients with MDRO infection,33(70.21%)hospitals conducted environmental clean and disinfection twice a day,24(51.06%)hospitals performed personal protection by using complete set of protective equipment.Conclusion This investigation is helpful for understanding the general situation of HAI management in medical institutions,as well as the detection and control of MDROs in this area,and make continual improvement on the problems and weakness found in the investigated project,so as to promote the development of HAI management in this area.

There are few articles or reports collecting evidence about parenterally administered salvianolate from premarketing and postmarketing research or studies systematically. This article is an exact miniature of a systematical report about parenterally administered salvianolate. We analyzed information from four aspects, such as quality control reports, non-clinical premarketing safety experiments, postmarketing research (efficacy studies, hospital information system data and national spontaneous reporting system data) and literature analysis. All the four aspects build an evidence body for Kudiezi Solution in order to inform its safety use in clinical practice and further study.
