Objective To test the in vitro effect of the extract of Herba taraxaci on Demodex folliculorum. Methods Active Demodex folliculorum were obtained from patients with moderate to severe demodex infestation. Herba taraxaci and Radix stemonae were extracted respectively with 80% ethanol under 85℃, and a preparation with a concentration of 200mg/ml was made. The extractions were used in vitro to examine the anti-mite activity by observing time of killing mites. Physiological saline and Radix stemonae extraction served as blank control and positive control respectively. PH value of Herba Taraxaci extract was noted. Skin irritation test of normal and wounded skin and acute toxicity test were carried out with rabbit shin, and Herba taraxaci and 75% ethanol were served as experiment and control medicine. Results Motion and morphology of the mites considerably changed with the effect of Herba taraxaci extract. The time of mite-killing was (1.50?0.65)min with Herba taraxaci and (3.53?1.04)min with Radix stemonae respectively (P

AIM:To study the correlation of serum uric acid ( UA) level with carotid plaques and arterial stiff-ness in the patients with essential hypertension ( EH) , and to explore the predictive value of serum UA for evaluating EH preclinically .METHODS:A total of 92 patients with EH and 30 healthy individuals were enrolled .The value of UA and other indicators were detected .B-mode ultrasound examination was performed to measure the common carotid artery intima -media thickness ( IMT) and the sites of plaque in the internal carotid-artery, external carotid artery and carotid bifurca-tions.Carotid-femoral arterial pulse wave velocity ( CFPWV) was assessed by Complior?atherosclerosis measurement in-strument.RESULTS:The serum level of UA in the patients with EH was higher than that in control group [(361.51 ± 83.81) μmol/L vs (317.03 ±62.22) μmol/L, P<0.05].The mean value and abnormal rate of IMT between hyperten-sion group and control group were significant difference [(0.69 ±0.14) mm vs (0.60 ±0.12) mm, 42.39%vs 10.00%, P<0.05].In 92 EH patients, 45 cases had carotid plaques .These 45 cases were divided into 3 groups according to the plaque severity, among which the serum UA level had statistically significant differences [(285.25 ±78.41) μmol/L, (341.19 ±63.99) μmol/L and (401.33 ±88.49) μmol/L, P<0.05].Compared with rigid plaque group ( n=34), the serum UA level in soft plaque group (n=11) was significantly higher [(389.00 ±69.45) μmol/L vs (323.03 ± 72.71) μmol/L, P<0.05].A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that age ( r=0.414), systolic blood pressure (r=0.224), pulse pressure (r=0.270) and uric acid (r=0.219) were predisposed factors for higher CFP-WV (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:UA is one of the risk factors causing hypertension .Serum UA level may reflect the sever-ity and stability of carotid plaques .The increased arterial stiffness is closely related to the increased serum UA level in EH .

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the application of autogenous cartilage transplantation in rhinoplasty.
METHOD:
We chose three kinds of treatment according to the shape of nasal tip and thickness of local soft tissue. Autogenous auricular cartilage transplantation combined with "L" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 57 cases. Nasal alar cartilage transplantation combined with "L" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 33 cases and septal cartilage transplantation combined with "willow leaf" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 29 cases.
RESULT:
Improved nasal aesthetic effects were observed after operation in all of 119 cases, 64 cases were follow-up visited for 3 to 12 months. Both surgeons and patients were satisfied with the nasal shape.
CONCLUSION
Autogenous cartilage transplantation combining with artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty could effectively rebuild the nasorostral shape. We chose different kinds of cartilage according to the nasorostral condition. We can ensure that the whole nasal shape according to aesthetic requirement.

Objective To study the effect of low-level 84 disinfection solution on reproductive physiology of mice . Methods 72 KM mice were randomly divided into three groups :0.5%84 disinfection solution group ( group A) , 2.0%84 disinfection solution group (group B) and saline solution group (group C).12 males and 12 females in each group. Corresponding medicine was given once a day by intragastric gavage for 9 weeks.The estrous cycle of female mice was observed by exfoliative cytology of vagina .After 9 weeks, The sperm abnormality test was performed , Serum samples were taken for sex hormone test by ELISA, and the histological change of testis (or ovary), heart, liver, lung and kidney were observed.Results Compared with group C , No significant difference was observed in the weight variation and serum sex hormone level in group A and B (P >0.05).The difference of the estrous cycle of female mice was not significant (P >0.05).No histopathological abnormality was observed .Compared with group C, There was no significant difference in the rate of sperm abnormality in group A ( P >0.05 ) , but the rate in group B was significantly increased ( P <0.05 ) . Conclusion 0.5% 84 disinfection solution has no significant effect on reproductive physiology of mice , The concentration of disinfection solution must be strictly controlled when used .

Objective:To investigate the status of mental health and work engagement of clinical nurses, to explore the correlation between them, and to provide scientific basis for improving the mental health and increase work engagement levels of nurses.Methods:From August to September 2018, 1 140 nurses in Taihe Hospital of Shiyan City of Hubei Province · Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine were selected as survey objects by convenient sampling method, and the mental health and work engagement of nurses were investigated by Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between mental health and work engagement, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of work engagement in clinical nurses.Results:The score of SCL-90 of clinical nurses was 123.01±38.14 and the score of UWES-9 was 3.53±1.40. Correlation analysis showed that the nurse with total scores of mental health and work engagement, vitality, dedication, and concentration were negative correlation( r values were -0.250--0.218, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, depression, and paranoia were the influencing factors of clinical nurses work engagement ( t values were 4.682, -3.211, -2.715, P<0.01). Conclusions:The mental health level of nurses is good, and their work engagement level is average. Mental health is closely related to work engagement. Nursing managers should take effective measures to improve the mental health and increase work engagement levels of nurses.
