To explore the allocation and equity of health resource in Changsha between 2007 and 2013 and to provide references for government to carry out regional health planning. Method:General statistical analysis was used to describe changes of health resource allocation in Changsha;from the perspective of the population and geography of the nine counties in Changsha, the equality and change of the configuration among doctors, nurses and hospital beds were analyzed by using the Gini coefficient and Theil index. Results:1) The per capita amount of health resources in Changsha increased gradually, and health resources were mainly concentrated in urban areas. 2 ) The Gini coeffi-cients of doctors, nurses and hospital beds was 0. 24~0. 46 according to population distribution between 2007 and 2013 in Changsha, and the Gini coefficient of all health resources by geography was 0. 59~ 0. 79 and peaked in 2009 to then decrease year after year. Following a comparison of the two kinds of regions, the Gini coefficient of urban are-as was significantly higher than that of rural areas, and the Gini coefficient of nurses was the highest among all health resources. 3) Changes in the Theil index were consistent with the Gini coefficient. The difference in the degree of re-source allocation in urban areas exhibited a rising trend, The Theil index was higher than each regional difference. Conclusion:Overall, the equity of allocation of health resources in Changsha between 2007 and 2013 gradually im-proved year by year. The equity of population configuration was greater than that of geographical configuration, and the equity of rural areas was superior to that of urban areas;the equity of the configuration of nurses was poor. The difference between areas is the main factor affecting the equity of Changsha’s health resource allocation.

Objective To improve mental health of children in the rural area by intervention with moviewatching.Methods The participants were 438 students from Anhui province,including 273 students in grade 5 from two primary schools and 165 students in grade 2 from two middle schools.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups:an intervention group with movie-watching (n=188)and a control group(n=250).Results The inter-group difference between the pre-measurement and the post-measurement on depression and anxiety of the intervention groups and the control groups in grade 5 from two primary schools was not significant,while the intergroup difference between the pre-measurement and the post-measurement on value8(the intervention group (2669.52±2216.43),the control group(316.57±1410.83)),and the inter-group difference was significant(t_(values)=10.721,P=0.000).The inter-group difference between the pre-measurement and the post-depression, anxiety and values of the interntion groups and the control groups in grade 2from two middle schools was significant(t _(depression)=2.046,P=0.043;t _(state amxoetu)=3.507,P=0.001;t _(trait anxiety)=3.392,P=0.001;t _(values)=5.022,P=0.000)respectively).The intervention effect on mood of depression,anxiety and the values of intervention groups in grade 5 from two primary schools was not significant,while significant on values(F=91.62,P=0.000);while that of intervention groups in grade 2 from two =0.000 respectively).Conclusion Movie-watching intervention wag an effective way to improve middle school students' mental health and to develop correct values.Movie-watching should be an alternative way to improve met-al health of children in rural area for its operability.

Objective To investigate the effects of curcumin on mRNA expression of cytokines related to Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling in THP-1 cells.Methods After pretreatment with different concentrations (50,25,12.5 mg/L) of curcumin or dexamethasone for 12 hours,THP-1 cells were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS.1 mg/L) for 4 hours followed by the collection of cells.Then total RNA was isolated from these cells and subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6),interleukin-1 receptorassociated kinase (IRAK1) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB.THP-1 cells without pretreatment or stimulation served as negative control,and those only stimulated with LPS served as LPS group.Results After stimulation with LPS (1 mg/L) for 4 hours,the mRNA expressions of TRAF6,IRAK1 and NF-κB were significantly upregulated in THP-1 cells compared with negative control cells (f=38.69,39.13,23.99,all P<0.01).Curcumin of 50 mg/L and 25 mg/L significantly inhibited the mRNA expressions of TRAF6.IRAK 1 and NF-κB upregulated by LPS with an inhibition rate of more than 50% (all P<0.0 1).Conclusions Certain concentrations of curcumin can inhibit the mRNA expressions of TRAF6.IRAK1 and NF-κB.which demonstrates the regulatory effect of curcumin on the mRNA expressions of TLR4 signaling pathway-associated cytokines.

The present study examined the functional profile of dendritic cells (DCs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the effects of simvastatin on the function of DCs. A total of 40 patients who was recently diagnosed as having RA were equally assigned to two groups: the routine treatment group (group R) and the routine treatment plus simvastatin group (group R+S). Twenty healthy individuals served as control. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated before and 4 weeks after the treatment and then cultured with interleukin-4 (IL-4) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulatory factor (GM-CSF) to prepare mature DCs. The expression of co-stimulating factor CD86 on the surface of DCs was assessed by flow cytometry. And the stimulating capacity of DCs was measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The contents of cytokines in culture supernatants of DCs in MLR were detected by ELISA. Blood lipids and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were detected. The relationship between the expression of CD86 and the blood CRP level was also investigated. The results showed that, as compared with the control group, the CD86 expression and the level of cytokines secreted by DCs were significantly increased in RA patients and greater stimulating capacity of DCs in MLR was demonstrated in RA patients. T lymphocytes in MLR secreted higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-17, TNF-α and INF-γ) and lower level of anti-inflammation cytokine (IL-10). The function of DCs was markedly weakened and the level of hs-CRP and low-density lipoprotein was substantially lowered in group R+S in comparison to group R. The CD86 expression was positively correlated with hs-CRP. It was concluded that DCs in RA are highly activated and DC-initiated immune reaction may play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA. Simvastatin administration can significantly inhibit the DCs function and reduce the level of hs-CRP, indicating the suppression on inflammatory reaction may be one of the mechanisms by which simvastatin exerts its effect in treating RA.

Objective To investigate therapeutic effect of the low dose clomiphene treatment of idiopathic oligoasthenospermia and effect on sperm epididymal protein level 4.Methods183 cases of idiopathic oligoasthenospermia were divided into three groups, vitamin group of 61 patients were given vitamin E,clomiphene group(61 cases)treated with low dose clomiphene, combined group of 61 patients were given low dose clomiphene and vitamin E, lasted for 12 weeks.Semen volume, sperm density, sperm motility, sperm survival rate and sperm reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone concentration were observed before and after treatment.After treatment, the patients were followed up for 1 year, the observation of the natural pregnancy rate after treatment.ResultsSperm density, sperm survival rate and sperm and a A+B grade sperm in the clomiphene group were significantly higher comparedwith the vitamin group (P< 0.05), sperm density, sperm survival rate and sperm and a A+B grade sperm in the combined group were significantly increasedcompared with clomiphene group and vitamin group (P< 0.05),levels of HE4 after treatment was significantly lower compared with before treatment (P< 0.05), And the difference between the three groups were statistically significant (P< 0.05).Follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone in clomiphene group and combined group after treatment, were significantly increased compared with before treatment (P< 0.05), and the combined group had no statistically difference compared with clomiphene group.The pregnancy rate in 1 year of vitamin group, clomiphene group and combined group were 24.59%, 42.62% and 62.29% (P< 0.05).ConclusionClomiphene treatment of idiopathic asthenospermia is better than vitamin E, the combination of the two has a synergistic effect.

Objective To evaluate efficacy of routine cleaning and disinfection methods for incubators,and put forward a feasible improvement solution.Methods 30 incubators used in a neonatal intensive care unit of a hospital between Decem-ber 2013 and June 2014 were chosen and randomly divided into baseline,control,and trial groups(10 incubators in each group).Baseline group and control group were disinfected by routing disinfection method (wiping internal and external sur-faces of incubators with water and chlorine-containing disinfectant),trial group adopted intensified disinfection method (wi-ping internal surfaces of incubators with alcohol)on the basis of routine disinfection,disinfectant efficacy of three groups were compared.Results In baseline group,unqualified incubators were initially detected on the fourth day of monitoring, all incubators were contaminated in varying degrees on the seventh day of monitoring,the detection rate of unqualified spec-imens was 31.43% (88/280).The median time for the initial detection of unqualified incubators in control group and trial group were on the fifth day and seventh day respectively,there was significant difference between two groups(χ2 =12.38, P <0.05);The unqualified rate of trial group was significantly lower than control group (15.36%[43/280]vs 32.86%[92/280],χ2 =23.43,P <0.05 ).Conclusion Intensified disinfection with alcohol on the basis of routine disinfection method can effectively improve the disinfectant efficacy of the surface of incubators,it is convenient,inexpensive and safe, and worth to be popularized in primary hospitals.

Objective To investigate the incidence of needle stick injuries of nursing students in different stages of clinical practice and occupational protective education to provide evidence for developing education strategies. Methods One hundred and forty-one nursing students were surveyed retrospectively by a self-designed questionnaire. Results A total of 75.9%(107/141) nursing students had been injured in clinical practice. The incidence of needle stick injuries varied in different stages of clinical practice. Compared with the middle and late stage of clinical practice, the incidence of needle stick injuries was highest in the early stage of clinical practice:53.9%(76/141) vs. 38.3%(54/141),7.8%(11/141),and there was significant difference, χ2=216.14, P<0.05.About 64.2%(88/141)-78.0%(110/141) nursing students had not received protective education on the needle stick injuries. Only 48.9%(69/141)-55.3%(78/141) of nursing students were given protective training on needle stick injuries in their practice hospitals. Before clinical practice, 63.1%(89/141) nursing students had not been vaccinated to prevent infective diseases. Conclusions To reduce the incidence of needle stick injuries and related potential risks of infection caused by injuries, it is necessary to strengthen pre-practice education on occupational protection among nursing students. Perfect supervision system should also be established in practice hospitals and clinic wards.

Objective To investigate the effects between the modified and classic coracoid approach in infraclavicular brachial plexus nerve block.Methods Sixty patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures under infraclavicular brachial plexus block were divided into observation group and control group by table of random digit method with 30 cases each.The puncture point of control group was approach via the point 2 cm medial and caudal to the coracoid process.The puncture point of observation group was modified by surface projection of the brachial plexus.Peripheral nerve stimulator was used to confirm the proper localization of the plexus.The performance time,number of puncture,anesthesia success rate,incidence of complications and 24 h patient satisfaction were recorded.Results The performance time in observation group was less than that in control group [(3.2 ± 1.1) min vs.(4.3 ± 1.4) min](P＜ 0.05).The chance of locating the brachial plexus in a single puncture without adjusting the block needle in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group [73.3％ (22/30) vs.50.0％ (15/30)] (P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in anesthesia success rate,incidence of complications and 24 h patient satisfaction between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The modified coracoid approach can significantly improve the probability of locating the nerve in one puncture that reduces the performance time.It can improve the accuracy of puncture point position on the body surface.
