This paper retrospectively analyzed nursing care of 20 critically ill patients with human infections of avian influenza A(H7N9) virus treated by oxygen therapy.According to the severity of hypoxia in patients admitted to the hospital,individualized oxygen therapy strategy was selected,such as humidified high flow nasal cannula or mechanical ventilation.Oxygen therapy strategy was adjusted in a timely manner according to patients' condition,such as prone position ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.As a resuh,15 cases were transferred to the general ward when the virus associated test was negative,and 5 cases died.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect and security of Buyang Huanwu decoction in treatment of the ischemic stroke recovery. Methods: We retrieved the relevant articles of random and semi- random control trials in treating ischemic stroke recovery using Buyang Huanwu decoction, published in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Wanfang Data, the Weipu Information Resources System, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Cochrane Library, PUBMED and MEDLINE from the date of establishment until to March 2018. The quality of studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane Reviewers?? handbook 5.1, and the study was carried out using Cochrane system assessment methods. Statistical analysis was performed with Rev Man 5.3. Results: Altogether 39 studies and 3539 cases of ischemic stroke recovery were enrolled. In terms of clinical efficacy, the difference between Buyang Huanwu Decoction and Western Medicine conventional therapy in the treatment of ischemic stroke was significantly different from that of conventional western medicine therapy [RR =1.26, 95%CI (1.20, 1.31), Z =10.05, P < 0.00001], and the difference between Buyang Huanwu Decoction and other Chinese patent medicines was statistically significant [RR =1.12, 95%CI(1.06, 1.19), Z =3.82, P =0.0001]; neurological deficit NIHSS score [MD =-2.55, 95%CI (-3.10, -2.01), Z =9.20, P < 0.00001]; clinical neurological deficit score (CSS) [MD =-3.85, 95%CI (-5.21, -2.50), Z =5.56, P < 0.00001]; limb motor function score (FMA) [MD =6.10, 95%CI (1.19, 11.01), Z =2.43, P =0.01]; Barthel Index of Daily Living Activity Scale [MD =9.09, 95%CI (6.95, 11.23), Z =8.33, P < 0.00001]; In terms of improving blood rheology index, serum peroxide lipid (LPO), serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and other biochemical indicators, due to the small number of studies, it may have a certain effect. Most studies did not report adverse reactions. Conclusion: Based on the existing clinical evidence, combination of Buyang Huanwu decoction and western medicine has higher clinical efficacy than western medicine alone for the ischemic stroke recovery. Due to the limited methodological quality of the included studies, more high- quality RCTs with large scale are needed to increase the strength of the above evidence.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of fluid flow shear stress (FFSS) on the fluid mechanic threshold of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) release by synovial cells and chondrocytes. Moreover, the mechanism of chondrocyte and synovial cell damage induced by abnormal mechanical force was investigated to provide an experimental basis for exploring the pathogenesis and pathology of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.
Methods:
With the approval of the Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments of the hospital, synovial tissue and cartilage tissue blocks were obtained from the knee joints of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, and synovial cells and chondrocytes were cultured and digested for subsequent experiments. Synovial cells and chondrocytes of 3-4 generations were acquired, and FFSS was applied to synovial and cartilage cells using a fluid shear mechanical device. The cells were divided according to the FFSS values of different sizes. Synovial cells were stimulated for 1 h with 1, 3, 5, or 10 dyn/cm2 of FFSS, and chondrocytes were stimulated for 1 h with 4, 8, 12, or 16 dyn/cm2 of FFSS. Resting cultures (0 dyn/cm2) were used as the control group. Changes in the morphology of the cells were observed. The expression and distribution of HMGB1 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were observed by immunohistochemistry. The expression of HMGB1 and IL-1β in the supernatant was analyzed by ELISA. The protein expression levels of intracellular HMGB1 and IL-1β were detected by Western blot.
Results:
With increasing FFSS, the synovial cells and chondrocytes gradually swelled and ruptured, and the number of cells decreased. With increasing FFSS, the localizationof HMGB1 and IL-1β gradually shifted from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In synovial cells, compared with those in the control group, the expression levels of HMGB1 and IL-1β were increased both in the supernatant and cells in the 1, 3, 5 and 10 dyn/cm2 intervention groups (P<0.01). In chondrocytes, compared with those in the control group, the expression levels of HMGB1 in the supernatant were increased in the 4, 12 and 16 dyn/cm2 intervention groups (P<0.05), and the protein expression levels of HMGB1 were significantly increased (P<0.01). The expression levels of HMGB1 in the supernatant were significantly increased in the 8 dyn/cm2 intervention groups (P<0.01); however, the protein expression levels of HMGB1 were significantly decreased. Compared with those in the control group, the expression levels of IL-1β in the supernatant gradually increased in the 4, 8, 12 and 16 dyn/cm2 intervention groups (P<0.01). With the exception of those in the 4 dyn/cm2 group, the protein expression levels of IL-1β gradually increased with increasing FFSS (P<0.05).
Conclusion
With increasing FFSS, synovial cells and chondrocytes gradually swelled and burst, and the hydromechanical thresholds of HMGB1 release were 1 dyn/cm2 and 8 dyn/cm2, respectively. Therefore, upon stimulation with a mechanical force, synovial damage was damaged before chondrocytes.
