As the dressings currently used in clinic settings unflat shape in general, they can't be fitted completely on occiput, heel, elbow, knee and other body parts unflat. This paper developed one kind of foam dressing of special shape based on local anatomy. The foam dressing is waterproof and air permeable, it can cover the wound closely enough to prevent bacteria from invasion and infection. With a saturated absorption ratio of 1: 8 or higher, it can keep the wound clean and moisture by absorbing large amounts of wound inflammatory secretions and is almost completely permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Assuring safety and effect meanwhile, it has better outcomes than common dressings in the same application settings.

Objective To examine the effect of positive and negative evaluative conditioning (EC) on neutral faces.Methods The experiment consisted of three phases:baseline phase,conditioning phase,and re-evaluative phase,in which 41 college students participated,watching sequences of neutral faces (CS) pairing to either a positive stimulus (USpos) or a negative stimulus (USneg).Their emotional experiences (valence and arousal) and physiological reactivity (eyeblink startle reflex and skin conductance) were recor ded.Results (1) In the re-evaluative phase,CSpos was rated significantly more positive than CSneg and CSneut,while CSneg was rated significantly more negative than CSneut (CSpos (5.05± 1.24),CSneg (3.73± 1.48),CSneut (4.46± 1.04),P<0.05).(2)In the re-evaluative phase,the mean startle eyeblink response magnitude(T score) to CSpos was significantly smaller than the responses elicited by CSneg and CSneut (CSpos (45.04±5.56),CSneg (51.44±9.30),CSneut (54.52± 10.60),P<0.01).Conclusion The findings suggest that neutral faces can acquire valences and approach motivation through EC.

ABSTRACT:Objective To construct V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4 (Vsig4)nanobodies (Nbs) as specific macrophage probes so as to use them as molecular probes of macrophagocytes.Methods A nanobody phage library was generated by using peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from an alpaca immunized with recombinant Vsig4 protein.After three rounds of selection against recombinant Vsig4.The Nbs were subjected to sequencing and genome alignment to obtain VHH sequence.Nbs were isolated and tested for Vsig4 specificity in an ELISA using recombinant Vsig4.The affinity capacity of Nbs was verified by the cell line stably expressing Vsig4. Results A nanobody phage library with an estimated 7.27 × 107 clones with 70% insertion was successfully constructed.Totally 1 3 6 Vsig4-positive clones were sequenced and aligned according to different CDR3 sequences. In summary,1 5 Vsig4 nanobodies were obtained and grouped into 3 different CDR3 epitopes.The affinity of representing nanobody and Vsig4 was analyzed via ELISA;Nb1 1 9 showed the highest affinity against both recombinant and native Vsig4.Conclusion We successfully constructed and screened Vsig4 specific nanobody number 1 1 9 with high affinity and specificity.It can help with macrophage detection and in vivo monitoring.

Objective To evaluate the potential use of a probe melting analysis (PMA) assay in detecting the embB mutations which confer resistance against ethambutol in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methods The analysis sensitivity and specificity of PMA were investigated by detecting a serially diluted H37 Rv DNA and a reference panel from National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Product. Six hundred and thirteen sputum samples were collected from the Xiamen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Xiamen First Hospital and Center for Zhangzhou Disease Control and Prevention from September 2009 to April 2010. The PMA assay was then evaluated by detecting 613 clinical isolates and the results were compared with the sequencing results. Results The PMA assay could specifically detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and had a limit of detection of 3 copies per reaction. The assay results with 613 clinical isolates showed that PMA gave a 100% concordance with sequencing in the 583 qualified samples, among which 34 were mutations at embB 306,23 at embB 378-380, 3 at embB 406 and 3 at embB 497. Conclusions PMA assay is a sensitive and specific method enabling efficient detection of common embB mutations causing ethambutol-resistance. The rapidness of this method together with its reliability would facilitate its use in routine testing.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of students' academic procrastination behavior in medical colleges and universities and its influencing factors, and to put forward suggestions to reduce the academic procrastination of medical students.Methods:A total of 1 327 undergraduate students from three medical colleges and universities in Heilongjiang Province were randomly selected to receive questionnaire investigation on life satisfaction, anxiety, and academic procrastination. SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis.Results:①The total procrastination scores of medical students were (35.00±8.92) points. ②There were statistical differences in the academic procrastination of medical students with different genders, whether the only children, the reasons for choosing the major, and the level of achievement ( P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in academic procrastination among medical students of different ages and grades ( P > 0.05). ③Medical students' procrastination was positively correlated with their anxiety level ( r = 0.102, P < 0.01), and negatively correlated with life satisfaction ( r = -0.117, P < 0.01). ④Regression analysis showed that the following six predictive variables including the level of achievement, gender, life satisfaction, anxiety, reasons for choosing the major, and whether the only children could effectively explain the variance of 14.2% academic procrastination of medical students. Conclusion:The overall degree of academic procrastination of medical students is higher than that of non-medical students. And the students' achievement level, gender, life satisfaction, anxiety, the reasons for choosing this major and whether the only child are the influencing factors of academic procrastination.

BACKGROUND: Nasal mucosa fibroblasts are reported to involve in inflammation and wound repair of various nasal diseases by secreting a variety of cytokines and chemokines. Guinea pig is a most suitable experimental animal for the study of allergic diseases. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effective methods of isolation, culture, purification and identification of guinea pig nasal mucosa fibroblasts. METHODS: Guinea pig nasal mucosa fibroblasts were isolated by collagenase digestion, and purified by differential velocity adherence. The morphology of fibroblasts was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, fibroblasts were identified by vimentin immunocytochemical staining, and the cell growth was detected by MTT assay to draw the growth curve. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Under inverted phase contrast microscope, there were cells with different shapes in the primary nasal mucosa fibroblasts, most of which showed spindle-like and applanate shape, and cells were scattered distribution in cluster. The purified fibroblasts were homogeneous, mainly were long spindle-shaped, and distributed in fish shoal-like and radial-like. (2) Immunocytochemical staining indicated that fibroblasts were positive for vimentin. (3) The cell growth curve appeared to be typical S-shaped. (4) To conclude, the isolated and cultured cells exhibit typical biological characteristics of fibroblasts.
