Optic nerves were dissected from 7-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats, dissociated with collagenase and trypsin, and cultured on poly-L-lysine coated glass coverslips. Cultures were grown in the B-S medium (Bottenstein and Sato, 1979) containing 0.5% fetal calf serum(FCS). All of the coverslip cultures were divided into 4 groups: i. e. Ⅰ, "Ⅰ+GMF", Ⅱ, and "Ⅱ+GMF". Optic nerve glial cells were cocultured with glioblast monolayers in both group Ⅱ and group "Ⅱ+GMF". Glia maturation factor (GMF) was added to the medium in a concentration of 250 ng/ml for group "Ⅰ+GMF" and group "Ⅱ+GMF". No GMF was added to the medium in both group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ. The coverslip cultures were treated with indirect immunofluorescence to identify the cell types of optic nerve. Cells were double-labled with monoclonal gotibody A2B5 and anti-galactocerebroside(GC) monoclonal antibody, or A2B5 and anti-glisl fibrillary acidicprotein (GFAP) antibody. The bipotential glial progenitor cells (A2B5~+, GC~-; or A2B5~+, GFAP~-), mature oligodendrocytes (A2B5~-, GC~+), immature oligodendrocytes(A2B5~+, GC~+), type 1 astrocytes (A2BS~-, GFAP~+) and type 2 astrocytes (A2B5~+, CFAP~+) can be distinguished.After 5 days in culture, the number of cells in group "Ⅱ+GMF" showed a significant increase (P

Before and after the therapy, the utmost speed of the peak value at the left ventricular early diastole stage (E peak), the utmost speed of the peak value at the left ventricular late diastolic stage (A peak), the E/A ratio and peak filling rate (PFR) were determined by color Doppler echocardiography. 　RESULTS: After the therapy, the E peak, the E/A ratio and PFR were up higher than before the therapy, meanwhile the A peak dropped lower, there were significant difference respectively (P<0.01). 　CONCLUSION: The LVDD can be improved distinctly if the patients with hypertension and CHD take benazepril for 5 mo or so.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) can promote the outgrowth of neurites of the target ganglia. In order to further explore the relationship between this effect and the synthesis of RNA and DNA in the neurons, an autoradiography of 3~H-uridine and 3~H-thymidine was used. Superior cervical ganglia (SCG) from newborn rats were cultivated by Maximow's double coverslip method. All cultures were divided to one group of cultures a crude preparation of NGF was added to the medium and another group without NGF served as control. Before tissue culture was stopped, the. covership cultures were transferred to thelabeling-medium and incubated, and then they were fixed, and cut into serial sections and subjected to autoradiographie processes. The results show that the percentage and the level of grains of neurons labeled by 3~H-uridine in the NGF group are higher than that of control. Moreover, before the growth rate of neurites reaches a peak, the level of grains of neurons labeled by 3~H-uridine in the NGF group is obviously increased. The evidence suggests that NGF can promote the synthesis of RNA in neurons of SCG, which has a direct bearing on the quick outgrowth of neurites. In the experiments with 3~H-thymidine incorporation, that the NGF may promote the synthesis of DNA in some neurons of the third day SCG in vitro was also observed.

Objective To evaluate the nursing outcomes of patients with chronic diseases discharged from various fields,and to analyze the related factors,and provide the basis for the nursing of patients with chronic diseases.Methods A total of 640 patients with chronic diseases discharged from hospital were investigated by the general information questionnaire and the Chronic Disease Patients Nursing Outcomes Classification Evaluation Form.Results In nursing outcome classification evaluation of patients with different diseases,the score of patients with cardiovascular disease was (250.27 ± 38.82) points,the score of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was (267.27± 32.46) points,the score of patients with cerebral apoplexy was (238.69 ± 38.80) points,and the score of patients with diabetes was (287.71 ± 21.86) points,the differences were statistically significant (F=40.062,P＜ 0.01).Evaluation in each dimension,physiological,functional outcome scores higher,cognitive,behavioral health outcome scores lower;,in addition,education,place of residence,average annual family income,types of illness,mentality,the whether hospitalized for the first time become discharged patient care of the main factors.Conclusions Nursing care should be guided by the classification of nursing outcome,and individual nursing intervention for the differences between the types of illness and individual factors.

On one hand this paper used co-culture method of rat normal or injuried sciatic nerves with newborn rat superior cervical ganglia (SCG) to observe that the neurite outgrowth of SCG induced by the nerve, on the other hand we made normal or injuried sciatic nerve extracts in order to observe their neurite-promoting effects on PC12 cells to various dilutions of nerve extracts. The results show that normal and injuried sciatic nerves contain neurite-promoting factors (NPFs) for SCG sympathetic neurons. However, the NPF activity of injuried nerve is higher than that of normal nerve and has no significant differences from 1-41 days postlesion. We have also observed the neurite-promoting effects of normal or injuried sciatic nerve extracts on PC12 cells. There is a maximal effect with the injuried nerve extract prepared at 4 days post-lesion. The neurite-promoting activity of injuried (12 hours to 42 days post-lesion) nerve extracts remain constant. The rate of neurite elongation in PC12 cells relate to the dilution of nerve extracts. Experimental analysis suggests that the nerve NPFs may be not the single but two or more factors which may be produced and released by Schwann cells.

Bilateral ablation of the cerebral parietal cortex in adult rats was performed. After appropriate days, the tissue surrounding the wound was removed and the brain wound tissue extract (EWTE) was prepared. Newborn rat cerebral cortical neurons were used as a culture model to test the neuronotrophic factors (NTFs) and neuritepromoting factors (NPFs) in EWTE. In order to investigate the origin of above mentioned factors whether related to the macrophages which appeared in the brain wound region at early stage, we designed to culture macrophages and collected the macrophage conditioned medium (M?CM) to measure their NTF and NPF activities for cultured cerebral cortical neurons. On the other hand, we also observed the effect of EWTE and M?CM on PC 12 (phehrmytema) cells and further studied the action of NPFs. Cur experimental results show that EWTE and M?CM contained NTFs and NPFs for cultured cerebral cortical neurons. These factors appeared in EWTE at 4 days post-lesion, with maximal level of their activities reached between 5 and 6 days post-lesion and there was another peak of NPF activity at 9 days post-lesion, until 13 days post-lesion also detected their activities. The NTF activity in M?CM was lower than that in BWTE, in contrast, the NPF activity in M?CM was higher than that in BWTE. There was NPF activity to PC 12 cells in BWTE and M?CM. According to the experimental assays, we suppose that the neurotrophic factors in BWTE mainly come from the macrophages which appear in the lesion site at early stage of injured brain, subsequently, it may relate to the astrocytes. The components of these factors may be complexity and multiplicity that remain to be solved.
