Objective The purpose of this study was to observe the recovery effects of nursing intervention on foot-drop complicated after surgical trauma of bone fracture, and to discuss effective nursing strategies and measures. Methods 60 cases of patients with foot-drop complicated after internal fixation of tibial fractures were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 30 cases in each group, the observation group used lower limb joints rehabilitation trainers for ankle passive motion, the control group used artificial methods for ankle passive motion. Ankle movement and muscle strength recovery was observed and recorded after 12 weeks in two groups. Results Ankle joint mobility and muscle strength was significantly better in the observation group than in the control group. Conclusions Using lower limb joints rehabilitation trainers for ankle passive motion showed better effect than artificial methods for ankle passive motion.

Objective To explore MRI features and diagnostic value of primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHCC).Methods Onehundred and seventy-four patients which were diagnosed as PHCC by MRI were analyzed retrospectively,including signal intensity ofPHCC,pseudocapsules,the sign out of PHCC(such as the tumor thrombi in portal or hepatic vein,lymph nodule in abdomen),and therelationship between them and tumor patterns.The accurate and misdiagnostic rate of MRI in the cases of PHCC proved by pathology were analysed.Results The signal intensity of PHCC was mainly hypointense or slightly hypointense on T_1WI and slightly hyperintense on T_2WI.The accurate rate of MRI in diagnosis of PHCC was 91.42%.The appeared rate of unhomogeneous signal intense of PHCC on T_2WI,thetumor thrombi in portal or hepatic veins and the peudocapsules was of significance in statistics between different type of PHCC.Pseudocapsules were shown better on T_1WI than on T_2WI and fat suppression.Conclusion MRI signal intensity of PHCC is socharacteristic that it has improtant value in diagnosing PHCC.

Objective To determine the inhibitory effect of a synthetic hexa-peptide GGWSHW (G peptide) derived from thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) on TGF-? activation induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) in cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods Human proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2) was cultured in vitro, untreated HK-2 cells were acted as normal control group. HK-2 cells were then stimulated by Ang Ⅱ for 1-24 hours (Ang Ⅱ stimulation group),so that optimal dosage and duration could be chosen.One hour prior to induction,HK-2 cells were pretreated with 10 ?mol/L peptide G (G peptide treated group)or losartan (losartan treated group), the blocker of I type receptor of Ang Ⅱ was acted as inhibitory control.The mRNA and protein levels of TSP1,TGF-?1,FN and PAI-1 were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were performed to detect the presence of TSP1, TGF-?1 and co-positive expression of two protein, respectively.The concentrations of total and active TGF-?1 as well as FN and PAI-1 in cell culture supematants were measured by ELISA. Additionally, the expression of Smad2 and p-Smad2 was also examined for the bioactivity of TGF-?1 signaling protein. Results Ang Ⅱ enhanced the expression of TSP1 and TGF-?1 in a temporal-spatial dependent manner. The optimal dosage and duration were 1 ?mol/L and 6 hours,for TSP1,and 0.1 ?mol/L and 12 hours for TGF-?1 respectively.Comparing with untreated HK-2,the co-expression of TSP1 and TGF-?1 induced by A Ⅱ showed a increase of 5.4 folds.In addition,the protein level of p-Smad2 was elevated remarkedly, the mRNA level of FN and PAI-1 was up-regulated by 3 and 1.5 folds, and the concentration was increased by 2.0 and 1.9 folds respectively. Peptide G had less effect on the expression of TSP1 and TGF-?1,whereas it significantly reduced the secretion of active TGF-?1,though total level of TGF-?1 remained up-regulated. Furthermore,comparing with losartan treated group, p-Smad2 expression was reduced by 28.9%, the mRNA level of FN and PAI-1 was decreased by 34.5% and 26% respectively,and the protein levels were reduced by 11.0% and 8.9% respectively. Conclusion The inhibitory peptide derived from TSP1 effectively suppresses TGF-?1 activation through a competitive mechanism and also reduces the secretion of FN and PAI-1 associated with fibrosis.

To observe and compare the therapeutic effects of treating female menopausal syndrome with auricular-point-pressing therapy and acupuncture, 86 patients were randomly divided into auricularpoint pressing group and acupuncture group, the comparative observation was conducted according to a modified Kupperman index. Statistical analysis showed that there's no significant difference between the therapeutic effects of the two groups. Auricular-point-pressing therapy and acupuncture were both effective in treating female menopausal syndrome, while auricular-point-pressing had the advantages of easy operation and acceptance.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy ofHejie Fenxiao Decoction on damp-heat patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods Totally 68 patients were divided into the control group and the treatment group according to the patients’ willings. Both groups were given treatment, such as elimination of the incentives and symptomatic treatment. Besides, patients of the treatment group acceptedHejie Fenxiao Decoction for 30 days. The changes of renal function indexes, such as serum creatinine (SCr), blood urine nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), albumin (ALB) and integral of TCM syndrome, were observed, and recovery ratio and clinical endpoints were compared.Results SCr and eGFR of both group were improved on day 14 (P<0.05). After treatment, the renal function recovery ratio and renal replacement ratio in the two groups showed obvious differences (P<0.05);although survival rate of treatment group was higher than control group, it showed no statistical significance (P>0.05);clinical endpoints analysis of the two groups showed statistical significance (P<0.05). The difference of integrals of TCM syndrome between the two groups showed statistical significance (P<0.05) on day 14.ConclusionHejie Fenxiao Decoction combined with basic regular Western medicine can better improve the clinical symptom, recover the renal function, and decrease the rate of renal replacement and death of AKI damp-heat patients.
