With the rapid increase of educational resources, how to search for necessary educational resource quickly is one of most important issues. Educational resources have the characters of distribution and heterogeneity, which are the same as the characters of Grid resources. Therefore, the technology of Grid resources search was adopted to implement the educational resources search. Motivated by the insufficiency of currently resources search methods based on metadata, a method of extracting semantic relations between words constituting metadata is proposed. We mainly focus on acquiring synonymy, hyponymy, hypernymy and parataxis relations. In our schema, we extract texts related to metadata that will be expanded from text spatial through text extraction templates. Next, metadata will be obtained through metadata extraction templates. Finally, we compute semantic similarity to eliminate false relations and construct a semantic expansion knowledge base. The proposed method in this paper has been applied on the education grid.

Objective:Through the analysis of the influence indicators of average hospitalization and comparison of differences of these indicators among different clinical departments in a hospital, to evaluate the medical quality and management level of the hospital and provide scientific reference for improving the hospital management efficiency and benefits.Methods:Gender, age and the type of medical insurance were analyzed using the chi square test. The length of hospital stay through 2009 to 2013 were analyzed using F test for patients of different insurance type and using t test for patients from different departments. All tests were completed using SPSS18.0.Results: The average hospital stay was decreasing year by year. Compared with the overall average length of stay, the patients who pay free were stay longer in hospital except for a small number of departments of internal medicine. Besides, the severe cases also prolonged the average length of stay in hospital.Conclusion: To effectively control the average length of stay, the Physicians Examination in Three Levels should be strictly implemented and the information management system should be used scientifically. Reasonable measures should be taken to solve the existing problems.

Objective To assess the regulating effects of interleukin-1? (IL-1?) on gene expression of Bax mRNA in human hyaline chondrocyte.Methods Hyaline chondrocytes of human were harvested enzymatically and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 20% bovine serum.In the experiment,various concentrations of IL-1? were added to the medium.The effects of IL-1? on the Bax mRNA were assessed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the passaged monolayer cell cultures of hyaline chondrocyte.Results IL-1? increased the Bax mRNA level in passaged cultures of hyaline chondrocyte.The difference was significant (P

Objective:To understand the relationship between psychiatric nurses' communication ability, personality characteristics and conflict management patterns, and to provide a basis for training psychiatric nurses' conflict management ability courses.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to investigate and investigate 208 nurses in the first-line clinical hospitals of a third-class psychiatric hospital, used the nurses′ clinical communication ability scale, the nurse′s interpersonal conflict management morphology scale, and the simplified version of the Chinese Big Five Personality Questionnaire.Results:Integration dimension (18.67±2.58) points, concession dimension (12.93±2.43) points, escape dimension (14.05±2.02) points, dominance dimension (14.49±3.06) points, and integration dimension and gender ( t value was -2.57, P=0.01)), education ( F value was 3.76, P=0.02), technical title ( F value was 3.03, P=0.02), position ( t value was 2.08, P=0.03), whether to participate in nurse-patient communication training ( t value was 2.54, P=0.02). Nurses with pleasant personality could better deal with interpersonal conflict ( r=0.361, P<0.01), and the nurse′s personality had a direct effect on the form of interpersonal conflict ( P=0.036, 95% CI 0.107-0.422), the nurse′s communication ability plays a part of indirect effect ( P=0.031, 95% CI 0.001-0.063). Conclusion:The form of interpersonal conflict management of psychiatric nurses was closely related to communication ability and personality characteristics. Nursing managers could carry out targeted training to improve the conflict management ability of nursing staff.

Objective Neurological diseases are closely associated with the apoptosis of neuronal cells .This article aims to study the inhibitory effect of taurine on the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons by activating Caspase 9 as well as its protective effect on the nervous system and its mechanisms . Methods Mouse hippocampal neuronal cells were randomly divided into four groups:control, injury and apoptosis, low-dose taurine protection, and high-dose taurine protection.The proliferation of the neuronalcells was observed, their apoptosis examined by MTT colorimetric assay, and the expression of Caspase 9 in different groups detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot. Results The injury and apoptosis group showed a poor proliferation of the hippocampal neuronal cells and decreased cell viability (A=0.102 ±0.025), significantly lower than the control group (relative A=0.643 ± 0.013), the low-dose taurine group (relative A=0.504 ±0.072), and the high-dose taurine group (relative A=0.452 ±0.029) ( all P<0 .05 ) .Immunofluorescence assay revealed significantly increased Caspase 9 activation in the injury and apoptosis group (A=61386.8 ±10083.6) compared with the control (A=4502.2 ±2518.1), the low-dose taurine (A=20077.4 ±4187.5), and the high-dose taurine group (A=13976.2 ±7044.1) (all P<0.05).Western blot showed a remarkably higher expression of Caspase 9 in in the injury and apoptosis group (A=1.23) than in the control (relative A=0.17), the low-dose taurine (A=0.21), and the high-dose taurine group (A=0.19) (all P<0.05). Conclusion Taurine can protect neuronal cells by inhibi-ting Caspase 9 activation.

Objective To compare the clinical effect and safety evaluation of three different dose regimens for treating children with viral encephalitis.Methods Totally 126 cases treated in Xi'an Central Hospital from January 2010 to December 2015 were randomly divided into observation group 1 (ganciclovir combined with gangliosides,42 cases),observation group 2 (ganciclovir combined with gamma globulin,43 cases),and control group (39 cases).The clinical effect and levels of NSE,inflammatory cytokine were compared in the three groups.Results The total effective rate in observation group 1 was 95.24％ and that of observation group 2 was 93.02％,which were significantly higher than that of control group (79.48％).The disappearance time of headache,fever,convulsions,clouding of consciousness,meningeal irritation sign,cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities,and length of stay in observation groups (both 1 and 2)were significantly shorter than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05);After therapy,the levels of NSE in three groups were obviously decreased compared with those before therapy (P ＜ 0.05),and those in observation group were significantly lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05);the levels of inflammatory cytokine in all three groups were obviously decreased compared with those before therapy (P ＜ 0.05),and that of observation group 1 had no statistical difference with the normal group,whereas that in control group was significantly higher than the normal group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ganciclovir combined with gangliosides as well as ganciclovir combined with gamma globulin were both effective methods in treating children with viral encephalitis and could decrease levels of inflammatory cytokine.Ganciclovir combined with gangliosides could effectively repair nerve damage,which deserves clinical expansion.
