International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;37(1):57-60
Calcification of silicone rubber is a pathologic mineralization phenomenon which occurs on the surface after it is implanted in vivo,and there is no effective prevention method.The important process of calcification including these steps:phosphate ions combined with calcium ions to promote nucleating aggregation,slow increasing,fusion,and gradually form a larger accumulation of hydroxyapatite calcium.The research had been developed to the level of cells and genes,such as matrix Gla protein clusters is a calcification inhibitor of the tissues around silastic prosthesis.It is necessary to obtain a theoretical breakthrough in the aspect of organic template modulation of inorganic crystals.Silicone elastomer having its own local anti-calcification property had been paid more attention.Fully revealing the mechanism of calcification and calcification-resistant of silicone rubber will probably provide the basis for building a new anti-calcification material.

Objective To investigate the phenotype and function of CD8+T cells cultured with SK-OV-3. Methods Transwell coculture experiments were conducted in 24-well plates with inner wells to separate CD8+ T cells and SK-OV-3. After 5 days of culture, CD8+ T cells were washed, and 1 × 106 cells were collected for Foxp3, CD25, CD28, CTLA-4 and GITR mRNA analysis and 2 × 106 cells were collected to detect expression of Foxp3, CD25, CD28, CTLA-4 and GITR in CD8+ T cells by flow cytometry. CD8+T cells that cultured alone or with SK-OV-3 were added at ratios of 1∶0 , 1∶1 , 1∶5 , 1∶10 , and 0∶1 to na?ve CD4+ T cells in 96-well plates. All wells were cultured with the presence of irradiated PBMCs and anti-CD3 antibody. After 72 h, [3H]-thymidine was added for 16 h prior to the determination of proliferation by scintillation counting. Results Compared with CD8+ T cells cultured without SK-OV-3 , the expression of Foxp3 and CTLA-4 was increased and CD28 expression was decreased in CD8+ T cells cultured with SK-OV-3 (both P < 0.001). We found that CD8+T cells cultured with SK-OV-3 significantly suppressed the na?ve CD4+ T cell proliferation induced by the anti-CD3 stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, CD8+ T cells cultured without SK-OV-3 did not suppress na?ve CD4+ T cell proliferation. Conclusion Ovarian cancer cell can induce the suppressive CD8+Treg, which is an important link of the immunosuppressive microenvironment in ovarian cancer.

Objective:To investigate the cognition and attitude of nephrology nurse to palliative care for patients with end-stage renal disease, and to provide reference for the promotion and application of palliative care in patients with end-stage renal disease.Methods:Using the phenomenological research method, the purpose sampling method and the principle of data saturation, the semi-structured interviews were conducted among 12 nurses from the Department of Nephrology in Xiang Yang NO.1 People ′s Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine in November 2021. The data were analyzed, summarized and extracted by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method. Results:The cognition and attitude of nephrology nurses to palliative care of patients with end-stage renal disease were summarized into three themes. They were: different cognition of palliative care; attitudes towards palliative care for end-stage renal disease patients (positive feelings, negative feelings); difficulties in the implementation of palliative care (difficult decision-making, unknown timing and effect, lack of social policy support, traditional thought constraints).Conclusions:Interviewees lacked cognition to palliative care and have different attitudes. In order to promote the application of palliative care in patients with end-stage renal disease, relevant publicity and education should be strengthened, the palliative care system of end-stage renal disease should be improved, and social support for palliative care should be enhanced.

Objective:To investigate the surgical method and clinical effect of free medial plantar flap (MPF) combined with anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) in repair of large soft tissue defect in the weight bearing area of sole.Methods:From April, 2017 to August, 2019, 8 patients with large soft tissue defects in plantar weight bearing area were repaired by free MPF combined with ALTF. Four patients had the defects located in the hindfoot and the surrounding area, 3 in the forefoot and 1 in the whole foot. A tandem flap made of free MPF combined with ALTF was used to repair the heel in 5 patients and repair the plantar forefoot in 3 patients. The size of defects ranged from 15.0 cm×10.0 cm to 26.0 cm×22.0 cm. The size of the MPF ranged from 6.0 cm×5.0 cm to 8.0 cm×6.5 cm. The donor sites repaired with full thickness skin graft. The size of ALTF ranged from 15.0 cm×7.0 cm to 27.0 cm×11.0 cm. Two donor sites were sutured directly, and the other 6 were repaired by full-thickness abdominal skin graft. The patients entered follow-up at outpatient clinic and via WeChat for 9 to 18 months.Results:All the 8 tandem flaps and the donor grafts survived. Only 1 ALTF had a distal necrosis and healed after change of dressing. All the flaps had good elasticity and good texture. All the recipient area of MPF achieved sensation recovery of pain and touch. But the ALTF only partially recovered tactile sensation. The weight-bearing and walking function were good. At the last follow-up, all patients were evaluated by Maryland foot score, of which 4 patients were excellent, 3 were good, and 1 was fair.Conclusion:The free MPF combined with ALTF is one of the ideal methods for the repair of plantar soft tissue defect in the weight bearing area of sole. It can better restore the foot weight-bearing and walking function with good clinical effect.

Objective:To explore the application effect of narrative nursing in long-term primary family caregivers of maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 120 main family caregivers of maintenance hemodialysis patients who received hemodialysis treatment in Hemodialysis Room of a tertiary general hospital were selected as the research objects from May to August 2020. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group ( n=60) and the control group ( n=60) by random number table method. The observation group was given narrative nursing intervention, while the control group was given routine psychological nursing. Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI) , Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Beck Depression Scale (BDI-Ⅱ) were used to investigate the situation of caregivers in the two groups. Results:Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the total scores of ZBI, SAS and BDI-Ⅱ between the two groups ( P>0.05) . After the intervention, the total scores of ZBI, SAS and BDI-Ⅱ in the observation group were respectively 23.50 (15.00, 33.00) , 33.00 (27.00, 41.00) and 11.00 (8.00, 14.75) , which were lower than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Narrative nursing can effectively reduce the long-term care burden of the main family caregivers of maintenance hemodialysis patients and reduce levels of anxiety and depression, which is worthy of clinical application.
