Methods Using stratified random sampling method, the general information questionnaire and the nurse job satisfaction scale were used to investigate the cross-sectional survey of 435 clinical nurses in large 3-A-grade hospital in Tianjin. Results The score of job satisfaction was (123.54±15.52) points, which was at the middle level. According to single factor analysis, there were significant differences in the influence of nurses′ job satisfaction on age, working life, department, monthly average night shift frequencies, monthly gross income (F=2.238-7.622, all P<0.05). There was a significant difference in job satisfaction among nurses with different income(F=2.642, P=0.049), among whichwork load,relationship with colleaguesandjob itselfhad the most significant impact on job satisfaction(F=2.667, 6.087, 4.023, all P<0.05). Conclusions Nursing managers should be rational allocation of human resources, reduce the workload of nurses, to build a harmonious atmosphere in the team, to create a good working environment, provide a better career development platform for nurses, implement flexible management, improve nurses′job satisfaction.

AIM: To compare and analyze the stereopsis of intermittent exotropia children under the different backgrounds of dynamic stimuli and static stimuli.
METHODS: We collected 56 children ( male 26, female 30 with intermittent exotropia at the age from 5y to 12y and examined their stereopsis under the different backgrounds of dynamic stimuli and static stimuli using a multidimensional sense perception training software. The differences between the dynamic stereopsis and static stereopsis were compared.
RESULTS: Totally 17 cases ( 30%) had both dynamicstereopsis and static stereopsis, 39 cases ( 70%) had either dynamic or static stereopsis deficit, only 10 cases ( 26%) had dynamic stereopsis, 25 cases ( 64%) static stereopsis left and 4 cases ( 10%) were without any form of stereopsis. The positive rate of dynamic stereopsis was better than the positive rate of static stereopsis, with statistical significance (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Dynamicstereopsis is better than the static stereopsis to intermittent exotropia children.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) on the expression of TLR4 and its role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF-κB activation and CD40 expression in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs). Methods RPMCs were harvested from Spragne-Dawley rat peritoneal cavity and maintained under defined in vitro condition. The cells were treated with Ang Ⅱ at different concentrations (10-9, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6 mol/L) and exposed to Ang Ⅱ (10-7 mol/L) for different times (1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h for mRNA and 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 h for protein, respectively). Meanwhile, the influence of AT1 receptor antagonist (AT1R, losartan, 10-5 mol/L) and AT2 receptor blocker (AT2R, PD123177, 10-5 mol/L) on the TLR4 induced by Ang Ⅱ was observed. After synchronization for 24 hours, the cells were randomly assigned to four groups: the control group, the Ang Ⅱ (10-7 tool/L) group, the LPS (1 mg/L) group, the Ang Ⅱ (10-7 mol/L) plus LPS (1 mg/L) group, which were used to investigate the effects of Ang Ⅱ on the NF-κB activation and CD40 expression induced by LPS. The mRNA expression of TLR4 and CD40 was measured by RT-PCR and the protein abundance of TLR4, NF-κB p65, phospho-p65, IKBα and phospho-IκBα were analyzed by Western blot. Immunofluorescence was performed to determine the subcellular localization of p65 subunit of NF-κB. Results (1) Treatment of RPMCs with Ang Ⅱ resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in the expression of TLR4. Ang Ⅱ at 10-9, 10-8, 10-7 and 10-6 mol/L increased TLR4 mRNA expression by 70.5%, 89.5%, 102.9%, and 121.9%, respectively and protein expression by 12.1%, 27.7%, 51.2%, and 41.6%, respectively (P<0.01). Treatment of RPMCs with 10-7 mol/L Ang Ⅱ resulted in a time-dependent increase in the expression of TLR4, with the peak of mRNA expression at 8 and 12 h (P<0.01) and the protein expression at 12 and 24 h (P<0.01). (2) Losartan antagonized Ang Ⅱ-stimulated expression of TLR4 by 33.5% (P<0.05), PD123177 had no such effect (P0.05). (3) Treatment of RPMCs with LPS (1 mg/L) for 60 rain significantly increased the ratio of phospho-IκBα to IκBα by 362.6% (P< 0.01) , phospho-p65 to p65 by 67.4% (P<0.05), and LPS (1 mg/L) for 4 h significantly increased the expression of CD40 mRNA by 299.9% (P<0.01) compared to the control group. In comparison to the LPS (1 mg/L) group, preincubation of RPMCs with AngⅡ (10-7 mol/L) for 24 h then treated with LPS (1 mg/L) for 60 rain significantly increased the ratio of phospho-IκBα to IκBα by 49.1% (P<0.01), phospho-p65 to p65 by 29.3%(P<0.05), and LPS (1 mg/L) for 4 h significantly increased the expression of CD40 mRNA by 56.8%(P<0.01). (4) The p65 subunit of NF-κB was dominantly distributed in the cytoplasm in the control and Ang Ⅱ group. Following exposure to LPS for 60 min, p65 subunit labeling was upregulated and translocated into the nuclei. A significantly increased nuclear staining of p65 in ceils treated with Ang Ⅱ plus LPS were observed. Conclusions Ang Ⅱ induces the expression of TLR4 in dose- and time-dependent manner in RPMCs, resulting in enhanced NF-κB signaling and induction of CD40 expression, Locally produced Ang Ⅱ in the peritoneum may play an amplified role in LPS-induced peritoneal inflammation.

Evaluation of the permeability mainly focuses on intestinal absorption in biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS). It is more complicated that the absorption and metabolism under multicomponent environment in biopharmaceutics classification system of Chinese materia medica (CMMBCS) compared with single component environment, which needs suitable mathematical models to be described. Therefore, with full consideration of existing single component mathematical algorithm combining with the characteristics of intestinal absorption and metabolism, we explored and designed a new mathematical algorithm of intestinal absorption and metabolism of multicomponent drug. Then we put forward a new coefficient, P (influence), the relative change rate of the single component's intestinal absorption and metabolism under multicomponent environment compared with single component environment, which described the influences of intestinal absorption and metabolism of the component under multicomponent environment. Moreover, P (influence) highlights the distinctive characteristics of multicomponent drug's intestinal absorption and metabolism, and lays the foundation for the construction of CMMBCS.

Objective: To investigate whether there is additi ve effects of hyperinsulinemia and ischemia on expression of canine myocardial G LUT4 gene in vivo. Methods: The expression of myocardial GLU T4 was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting.The expression of GLUT4 mRN A was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. Results: Dramatic changes were seen in GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 expression in the ischemic hearts.After infusing insulin for 8 h,regional GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 levels in is chemic hearts were 2.5, 2.3-fold that of expression in normal hearts(P<0.01 ). Myocardial glucose uptake in ischemic hearts was increased by 4-fold when co mpared with normal hearts(P<0.01). Conclusion: There are not only additive effects of hyperinsulinemia and low-flow ischemia on canine myoc ardial GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 expression in vivo, but also increase of myocar dial glucose uptake. Enhanced GLUT4 expression may be an important protective m echanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake and metabolism during low-flow ischemia.

In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics parameters of SPIO-shRNA dual functional molecular probe and observed the main organ distribution by MRI in vivo. Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups and injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe, respectively. The blood samples were collected to analyze the pharmacokinetic parameters by measuring the iron content at 30 minutes before and after the injection. Twenty-four Kun Ming (KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group was injected intravenously with physiological saline 200 µL per mouse via the tail vein, the other 3 groups were injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe. MRI observation was performed in 24 hours, and the liver, spleen, kidney, brain and muscle were collected for iron quantification with Prussian blue staining to determine distribution of the SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in the main organ in vivo. Our results suggest that the molecular probe blood half-life is more than 3 hours. The data of MRI suggest the probe was distributed in liver and spleen, and the MRI signal was reduced with the increase in probe's doses (P < 0.05). The results of Prussian blue staining confirmed the results of MRI. Most of the probe could escape the phagocytosis of mononuclear phagocyte system. Our data provide the pharmacokinetic and distribution of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in organs. Meanwhile, it suggests the choice of the time and dose of probe for MR imaging of tumor in vivo.

Objective To investigate the role of rat organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1, SLC22A6) in the renal cellular uptake of AA Ⅰ and its impact on cellular toxicity. Methods HEK-293 cells were transfeeted with rat OAT1 cDNA or empty vectors. The over-expression of rOAT1 was confirmed by Western blot analysis and its activity was validated by using para-aminohippurate (PAH) as a probe. Cellular apoptosis was examined by flow cytometery using propodium iodode (PI) and annexin V-FITC staining. Results Concentration-and time-dependent intracellular accumulation of AA Ⅰ was observed in rOATl-transfected HEK-293 cells. After treatment with AA Ⅰ at the concentrations of 40 mg/L, 80 mg/L, 120 mg/L and 160 mg/L,respectively, for 45 min, the intracellular concentrations of AA Ⅰ in rOAT1-transfected HEK-293 cells were higher than those in controls (P<0.05). After treatment with AA Ⅰ (120 mg/L for 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min, respectively, the intracellular concentrations of AA Ⅰ in rOAT1-transfected HEK-293 cells were higher than those in controls (P<0.05). PAH significantly reduced the intracellular accumulations of AA Ⅰ in rOAT1-transfected HEK-293 cells. After treatment with AA Ⅰ at the concentrations of 40 mg/L, 80 mg/L, 120 mg/L and 160 mg/L respectively for 35 min, the intracellular accumulations of AA Ⅰ in rOAT1-transfected HEK-293 cells that treated with PAH were lower than those that were not treated by PAH. Cellular apoptosis and caspase-3 expression in rOAT1-transfeeted HEK-293 cells were significantly up-regnlated as compared to controls (P<0.05). Conclusion rOAT1 is involved in the cellular uptake of AA Ⅰ which leads to increased epithelial apoptosis. Further studies are suggested to investigate the role of human OAT in the disposition of AA and its toxicological consequences.
