Aim To investigate the role of chemokine-like factor 1 ( CKLF1 ) in SH-SY5 Y cell migration and its molecular regulatory mechanism. Methods SH-SY5Y cells were stimulated with CKLF1 for 0. 5 h, 2 h, 8 h and 24 h, respectively. The migration distance and the percentage of migration cells were recorded by CELLocate analysis. The phosphorylation of focal ad-hesion kinase ( FAK) at Tyr-397 site was detected by Western blot analysis. By chemotaxis assays, we con-firmed the chemotaxis of CKLF1. Furthermore, FAK inhibitor PF-573228 and PLCγ inhibitor U73122 were used for the research of molecular regulatory mecha-nisms involved. Results CKLF1 promoted cell migra-tion and induced a strong increase in the phosphoryla-tion level of FAK-pY397 , which were significantly at-tenuated by the presence of U73122 ( a specific inhibi-tor for PLCγ) . In addition, the chemotaxis of CKLF1 was obviously blocked by the FAK inhibitor PF-573228 . Conclusion CKLF1 induces SH-SY5 Y cell migration via PLCγ/FAK signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the working stress related factors of nurses in intensive care unit (ICU), and put forward the corresponding counter measures.Methods During January to March 2016, a questionnaire survey was conducted with a commonly used nurses working pressure source scale on 110 ICU nurses in three People's Liberation Army (PLA) 3A grade hospitals in Beijing. The questionnaire survey involved 35 items within 5 main categories, including nursing professional issues, nursing workload and time allocation, working environment and resources, special care for critical patients and inter-personnel relationships between the head of nurses and other nurses. The correlations between the ICU nursing working stress and alternative factors were analyzed.Results Ninety-six nurses said the job was stressful, and 88.5% of them expressed that the degree of pressure was more than medium. The correlation analysis showed that ICU nurse working stress was correlated with 29 items in the survey scale (allP < 0.05), of which the top 6 items the mostly closely related were the frequent working shift (r = 0.58,P = 0.000), low nursing social status (r = 0.54,P = 0.000), less promotion opportunities (r = 0.54,P = 0.000), less opportunities to pursue further study (r = 0.53, P = 0.000), nurse low salary (r = 0.52,P = 0.000) and excessive workload (r= 0.50,P = 0.000).Conclusions ICU nurses face a lot of pressure in their work, the management departments should pay more attention to them, and actively energetically improve the nurse system construction, raise ICU nurses' pride, enhance the quality of nurse care and promote the healthy development of nursing profession.

Objective: To study the characteristics of coronary CT angiography (CTA) in patients with myocardial bridge (MB) with arrhythmia. Methods: Our study included 2 groups: MB+arrhythmia group,n=31, clinical information as medical record, electrocardiogram (ECG), myocardial enzyme, echocardiography and coronary CTA findings were collected; MB group, n=30, the MB patients were without arrhythmia. Results: In MB+arrhythmia group, all patients were with mere MB, coronary artery disease, valve-structural heart diseases and other systemic diseases were excluded. There were 2/31 patients with ventricular fibrillation, 1 with atrial fibrillation, 5 with supraventricular tachycardia and 23 with ventricular tachycardia; 17/31 patients having deep type MB and 14 having superficial type MB. The myocardial systolic end diameter, diastolic end diameter by retrospective ECG gating and the stenosis at cross section of mural coronary MB by CTA were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Conclusion: MB+arrhythmia patients had no specific characteristics in coronary CTA; anatomical CTA feature may partly explain the myocardial ischemic symptom while couldn't clarify arrhythmia occurrence in relevant patients.
