OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors related to sharp injuries of medical staff and explore the standardized occupational safety management model. METHODS According to the recent 4-year registration of 66 cases of medical staff suffered from exposure to sources of blood-transmitted diseases because of sharp injury,a retrospective investigation was taken and the relevant factors were analyzed. RESULTS Operating room and transfusion room had a high incidence of sharp injury,36.4% and 9.1%,respectively. It occurred frequently in treatment of the morning hours (45.5%). As lack of occupational safety prevention and awareness of the standardized preventive measures,there was a high incidence in lower stage clinical medical staff and interns (60.6%). CONCLUSIONS It is necessary to pay attention to the occupational safety standardized management of sharp injuries for medical staff in order to promote medical professional safety.

Objective To evaluate the use safety of a unitary package peracetic acid ( PAA) disinfectant through acute and subacute toxicity experiments in rats.Methods This study was conducted according to the Technical Standard For disinfection ( Version 2002 ) .In the acute toxicity experiment, 60 healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into different groups of PAA given by single intragastric gavage.Symptoms of poisoning of the animals were observed to calculate the half lethal dose ( LD50 ) .In the subacute toxicity experiment, 40 healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into three dose groups and negative control group.The rats were given 33-342 mg/kg BW PAA for 28 days.At the end of test, the body weight, the organ-to-body weight ratio and the hematological and biochemical indices were determined, and pathological examination was performed.Results The acute oral LD50 of female rats was 1470 mg/kg BW, and the LD50 of male rats was 1710 mg/kg bw.The results of subacute toxicity test showed that the body weight, the organ-to-body weight ratio and the hematological and biochemical indices had no significant difference between the dose groups and control group.No obvious abnormality was observed in gross anatomy and histopathological examination.Conclusions The results of the acute toxicity test prove that PAA has a low toxicity level, and no significant subacute toxicity was observed at the exposure doses.

Objective To explore compliance of anti-platelet therapy of patients after coronary stent implantation and relative factors. Methods 75 patients after coronary stent implantation were investigated by APGAR and drug compliance evaluation scale. Results 44.0 ％ of patients (n =33) failed to take anti-platelet drugs exactly following the prescription, the main form is omitting to take anti-platelet drugs (28.0％). The total score of understanding about antiplatelet medication knowledge in 75 patients was (26.36 ± 2.85 ), they took not much knowledge about antiplatelet druys' side effects and adverse consequences. The median adherence score of compliamce of antiplatelet drugs was 15.61. Fully accounted for 56.0％. The main non-complicance behavior was missed 28.0％. Different time of stent placement, antiplatelet druy type, duration of patient understanding of medication and medication compliance in patients with family functioning were statistically significant differences ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) ; Medication compliance and stent placement time was negatively correlated (r =-0. 304,P ＜ 0. 01 ), and duration of antiplatelet drug use to understand the situation, family functioning was positively correlated (r =0. 259,0. 266 ; P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions The rate of good compliance of antiplatelet therapy of patients after stent implantation is much lower. Nurses should emphasize the education about anti-platelet therapy and start family support system in order to improve the compliance of anti-platelet therapy.

Background and purpose:It was reported that many microRNAs (miRNAs) have close relation with carcinomas. miR-31 (microRNA-31) shows abnormal change in numerous cancers. China is one of the most high-risk areas of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of miR-31 in ESCC, and analyze the relationship of its expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods:The expression of miR-31 in KYSE410, EC1 and EC9706 cell lines, as well as 81 cases of ESCC tissues and adjacent normal esophageal tissues were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The result was combined with clinical and follow-up data and statistical analysis was conducted. Results: MiR-31 was up-expression in 3 cell lines and 75.31% of the ESCC tissues. miR-31 up-expression was positively related to severer lymph node metastasis (P=0.043), deeper invasion of tumors (P=0.002) and advanced pathological stage (P=0.027). There was no relationship of miR-31 with other clinicopathological features (P>0.05). Furthermore, high expression of miR-31 was associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) in 81 ESCC patients by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P=0.014) and by multivariate Cox analysis (P=0.021). Conclusion:Our results identiifed miR-31 may be a new diagnostic criteria and prognostic biomarker for ESCC.

Objective To investigate the value of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in the prediction of hypertension in middle-aged men with prehypertension.Methods A total of 2580 middle-aged (35 to 55 years old ) prehypertensive individuals who underwent health check-up during September 2006 and December 2007 in our hospital were recruited for this prospective cohort study.After a 4-year follow-up,2451subjects entered final analysis.Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the value of baPWV in the prediction of hypertension.Results(1) Two hundred and eight subjects (8.5％ )developed hypertension after 4-year follow-up study.( 2 ) At baseline,no significant differences of family history of hypertension,heart rate and total cholesterol were found between normotensive and hypertensive subjects (P ＞0.05 ).(3) Logistic regression analysis showed that in age-adjusted model (Model1),the odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of baPWV (140 cm/s) was 2.20 (1.78 to 2.62 )( P ＜0.01) ; while in multi-factor adjusted model ( Model 3 ),OR and 95c％c CI of baPWV was I.49 (1.15 to 1.73) (P ＜ 0.01).(4) Subjects were stratified by quartiles of baPWV at baseline.OR and 95％ CI of hypertension in those of highest quartile was higher than those of lowest quartile ( Model1:OR =10.9,95％CI 5.1-22.7,P＜0.01; Model 3:0R=2.6,95％CI1.2 -6.1,P＜0.05).Conclusion baPWV could be an independent predictor of hypertension among prehypertensive populations.

Objective To investigate the effect of emulsified isoflurane anesthesia on the expression of hippocampal amyloid-beta protein (Aβ) and phosphorylation of Tau protein in rats.Methods Seventy-two healthy Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control group (group C,n =12),fat emulsion group (group E,n =12),and 8％ emulsified isoflurane group (group EI,n =48).30％ fat emulsion and 8％ emulsified isoflurane 0.15 ml/100 g were slowly injected via the tail vein in groups E and EI,respectively.Morris water maze test was performed 6 days before anesthesia.Twelve animals in each group were chosen at 2 h after administration (T1) in E group,at the corresponding time points in C group,or at T1 and 1,7 and 14 days after administration (T2-4) in EI group and underwent spatial probe tests,and the escape latency was measured.The rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 1％ pentobarbital sodium 4 g/100 g after the end of Morris water maze test.Blood samples were taken for determination of the plasma S100 protein concentration.The rats were then sacrificed and brains were removed for determination of the expression of hippocampal Aβ and phosphorylated Tau (p-Tau) protein by immunohistochemistry.Results The escape latency and swimming distance were significantly shorter on 3rd,4th and 5th days than those on 1st day of place navigation test before anethesia (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with group C,the escape latency and swimming distance were significantly prolonged and the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened at T1,and the plasma S100 protein concentration was decreased at T4 in group EI (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the each parameter of Morris water maze test,plasma S100 protein concentration,and expression of Aβ and p-Tau protein in group E (P ＞ 0.05).The escape latency and swimming distance were significantly shorter and the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was longer at T2-T4 than at T1 in group EI (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Emulsified isoflurane anesthesia exerts no effect on the expression of hippocampal Aβ and phosphorylation of Tau protein,indicating that hippocampal Aβ and Tau protein are not involved in emulsified isoflurane anesthesia-induced cognitive dysfunction in rats.

Objective:Rudimental contrast media in the subclavian vein often influence the display of carotid on dual-source computer tomography angiography.This article aimed to investigate this influence,and find a best solution.Methods:One hundred patients were randomly divided into Groups A(n=52) and B(n=48).The former received traditional imaging,with 65 ml contrast media,4.0 ml/s injection flow and caudocranial scanning direction,while the latter kept all the parameters unchanged except the scanning direction,from caudocranial to craniocaudal.Each group was graded by original axial images,maximum intensity projection(MIP),silhouette images and VR images for vascular delineation of the carotid.Results: The carotid artery was clearly displayed in Group B,while the subclavian vein was unsatisfactorily revealed in Group A,with statistically significant differences in extent scores between the two groups(P

Objective Non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography ( MRA) has become the focus of research at home and abroad .The aim of the article was to optimize the scan parameters of renal artery with inflow-sensitive inversion recovery ( IF-IR) MRA. Methods 30 cases of renal artery patients into two groups were collected from December 2013 to May 2014 in our hospi-tal.They were divided into stenosis group(n=12) and non-stenosis group(n=48).IFIR-MRA sequences were carried out on each patient by using various BSP-TI with 1200,1300 and 1400 ms, all other parameters were identical .The image signal to noise ratio, a renal artery branch and venous artifact were evaluated by two experienced radiologists , and the best BSP-TI was obtained from different groups. Results BSP-TI=1400 ms was optimal for renal artery stenosis group while 1200 ms was the most suitable for non-stenosis group. Conclusion IFIR-MRA of renal artery can achieve better image quality of renal artery and its branches and it is feasible in clinical routine practice , especially for those patients with renal insufficiency .
