Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2017;23(2):226-231
Objective To analyze the trend of transitional care in recent ten years and to find the advantages and shortages in this field between home and abroad, so as to provide reference for nursing researchers in China. Methods The literatures about transitional care pub-lished from January, 2005 to August, 2016 from Web of Science and CNKI were retrieved, and the visualizing map was drawn by operating CiteSpaceⅡ. Results The annual number publication of transitional care steadily increased in the world in recent ten years. China issued a small amount of documents before 2012, and then the research of transitional care obviously increased, while the number was comparable to the international in 2015. USA played a leading role in the field;China issued only 2%of the total, ranking the 9th. By comparing domestic and foreign research hot topics, international transitional care studies paid more attention to nursing program and the effect, while China fo-cused on the research of the disease. Research frontier showed that international transitional care service expanded to more and more sub-jects gradually, and inclined to the continuation of management, community and family support nursing research, which was relatively lack in China. Conclusion In recent years, the research of transitional care received increasing attention in China, while the depth and breadth of study was still lacking. China should learn from foreign research hot topics and frontiers to explore transitional care system, and provied pa-tients discharged nursing support and self care knowledge, to enrich high quality nursing connotation.

Objective To study the effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on Aβ-induced oxidative stress by regulating NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and its mechanism.Methods Rat astrocytes were divided into Aβ group,DMF group,Nrf2 group and Nrf2 +DMF group.Expressions of Nrf2,Nqo1,Ho-1,Keap1 mRNA and HDAC were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The expression levels of Nrf2,Nqo1 and HO-1 mRNA were significantly lower in Nrf2 group and Nrf2+DMF group than in Aβ group and DMF group (P<0.05) and were significantly higher in DMF group than in Aβ group (P<0.05) while the expression level of Keap1 mRNA was significantly lower in DMF group and Nrf2+DMF group than in Aβ group and Nrf2 group (P<0.05).The expression level of HDAC was significantly lower in DMF group and Nrf2+DMF group than in Aβ group and Nrf2 group (6.41±0.43 vs 9.01±1.54,P<0.05;6.72±0.30 vs 8.76± 0.74,P<0.05).Conclusion DMF increases the Nrf2 expression by inhibiting the HDAC expression,thus reducing Aβ-induced oxidative stress in rat astrocytes.

Objective To develop a new method to induce the gene transfection in high efficiency for eukaryotic cells in vitro. Methods Four kinds of p14ARF gene primarily deleted human carcinoma cell line including H460,A549,U251,and PC-3 were transfected with the human p14ARF expression vector (pCI-neo-p14ARF) by using the new nonliposomal transfection reagent Fugene 6. The efficiency of gene transfer was determined by screening the cells in G418. Results After 21 days' selection, G418-resistant clones were shown in all the transfected plate. PCR product of p14ARF gene was positive in all the G418-resistant clones. Cytotoxicity of Fugene 6 was detected. The cell proliferation activity was not affected when it was cultured in a high dose of Fugene 6. Conclusion These results demonstrate that Fugene 6 is a rapid, feasible, reproducible, and noncytotoxic gene transfection approach for eukaryotic expression vector in vitro.

Purpose:To study the effect of P14ARF gene on human glioma cell line (U 251) Methods:We transfected P14ARF gene into human malignant glioma cell line with liposomal transfection reagent, we assessed cell growth properties,cell cycle.Results:After successful transfection, the human malignant glioma cell line U 251 proliferation rate was slower. The cell cycle was suppressed at G 1 and G 2.Conclusions:The findings suggest that p14ARF gene may be able to inhibit the growth of glioma cell in vitro.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of low-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke received rtPA intravenous thrombolysis within 4. 5 h after symptom onset were enrol ed retrospectively. According to the dosage of rtPA, they were divided into either a low-dose group (0. 5-0. 8 mg/kg, the maximum dose 50 mg) or a standard dose group (0. 9 mg/kg, the maximum dose 90 mg). The incidences of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage ( sICH) ( the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke [NINDS], and European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study Ⅱ [ECASSⅡ] , European Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-Monitoring Study [ SITS-MOST ] ), 90 d mortality, 90 d good outcome (the modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 0-1), and life self-care ability (mRS score 0-2) were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 163 patients were enrol ed, including 74 patients in the low-dose group and 89 in the standard dose group. The constituent ratios of hypertension (44. 6% vs. 68. 5%; χ2 =9. 490, P=0. 002) and diabetes (5. 4% vs. 28. 1%; χ2 =14. 216, P<0. 001) in the patients of the low-dose group were significantly lower than those of the standard group, while the constituent ratios of smoking (56. 8% vs. 38. 2%; χ2 =5. 590, P=0. 018 ) and smal artery occlusive stroke (21. 6% vs. 10. 1%; χ2 =4. 122, P=0. 042 ) in patients of the low-dose group were significantly higher than those of the standard group. After adjusting for age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and ischemic stroke typing, multivariate binary logistic analysis showed that there were no significant differences in NINDS defined sICH (10. 8% vs. 9. 0%, odds ratio [OR] 1. 077, 95%confidence interval [CI] 0. 338-3. 436), ECASS Ⅱdefined sICH ( 9. 5% vs. 9. 0%; OR 0. 976, 95% CI 0. 296- 3. 221 ), SITS-MOST defined sICH (8. 1% vs. 4. 5%; OR 2. 269, 95% CI 0. 522-9. 852), 90 d mortality (17. 6% vs. 14. 6%; OR 1. 720, 95% CI 0. 578-5. 119), 90 d good outcome (35. 1% vs. 32. 6%;OR 0. 780, 95% CI 0. 356-1. 709), and life self-care ability (48. 6% vs. 42. 7%;OR 0. 936, 95% CI 0. 441-1. 987) between the 2 groups (al P>0. 05). Conclusions The program of intravenous thrombolysis for the treatment of Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke with low-dose rtPA is safe and effective.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between prolactin (PRL) cleavage and the occurrence of hypertension, heart failure (HF) in post-menopausal female patients.
Methods: A total of 216 post-menopausal female subjects were enrolled in our study and they were divided into 3 groups: Hypertension group,n=80 patients with essential hypertension, Hypertension + HF group,n=76 and Control group,n=60 post-menopausal women form regular physical examination. The full length (23 kD PRL), 16 kD PRL fragment, lipid peroxide (LPO), total antioxidant status (TAS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), NT-proBNP, creatinine, uric acid, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and BMI were examined and compared among different groups.
Results:①There were no real differences in age, creatinine, uric acid, FBG and BMI among groups,P>0.05.②Compared with Control group, Hypertension group had increased LPO and decreased TAS; compared with Control group and Hypertension group, Hypertension + HF group had increased LPO and decreased TAS.③Compared with Control group, Hypertension + HF group showed lower level of 23KD PRL, higher level of 16KD PRL and the higher ratio of 16KD PRL/23KD PRL,P<0.05-0.01.④Pearson correlation analysis indicated that LPO was negatively related to 23KD PRL (r=-0.784,P<0.01), positively related to 16KD PRL (r=0.807, P<0.01); TAS was positively related to 23KD PRL (r=0.768, P<0.01), negatively related to 16KD PRL (r=-0.777P<0.01); 23KD PRL was positively related to LVEF (r=0.852, P<0.01), negatively related to NT-proBNP (r=-0.832P<0.01); 16KD PRL was negatively related to LVEF (r=-0.850,P<0.01), positively related to NT-proBNP (r=0.814,P<0.01).
Conclusion: PRL cleavage was highly related to the occurrence of hypertension and HF in post-menopausal female patients.
