Objective To study the correlation between organizational commitment of nurses and their intention to drop out. Methods Toally 304 contract nurses were recruited in this investigation. The questionnaires including demographic data, scale of organizational commitment and intention to drop out scale were used. Results The score of intention to drop out was 16.94 ± 2.16. The score on organizational commitment was 71.19 ± 6.65. There was a positive correlation between intention to drop out and organizational commitment among the contract nurses. Conclusions Improving contract nurses′organizational commitment can be an effective mean to reduce contract nurses′intention to drop out. It is an important means to promote the development of the nurse team and provide a reference for the scientific development of nursing.

AIM: To investigate whether the Acrysof Natural has the protective function for retina from blue light in morphology.METHODS: Fresh porcine eye cups were formed in vitro. Blue light beam between 420-450nm spectrum eradiated the porcine retina and cultured RPE cells in 30J/cm2 and 40J/cm2, respectively. The adjacent region in 3mm diameter was eradiated in various ways: exposed directly to light, through AcrySof one piece IOL, PMMA IOL,AcrySof Natural IOL, and without light. Then the eye cups were cultured for 48h. Lastly, tissue and cell structure were observed with light microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM).RESULTS: In the retinal region without light, the structure of every layer was clear, cells in neuroepithelial layer arrayed in rule, some bubble presented in external granular layer and internal granular layer, RPE cells were compact, and the color of pigment article was coincident. In the region with direct blue light and that with 30J/cm2+Acrysof one-piece/ pMMlA, cells on photoreceptor and external granular layer were lost partially, bubble increased, RPE cells were with different sizes, and cell edema, cell lost and pigment article cluster could be seen.. In region with 30J/cm2+Natural, a little disorganization could be seen comparing to that without light, but more normal than those with Acrysof and direct eradia tion. When the power was 40J/cm2, the situation was similar to that with 30J/cm2 but more severe.CONCLUSION: ① the blue light intensity in 30J/cm2 and 40J/cm2 could both induce the acute retinal light injury, ② AcrySof one piece IOL and other PMMA IOLhave no obvious effect no retina comparing to direct eradiation, ③AcrySof Natural can weaken the injury of blue light to some extent.

Objective To investigate the effect of up-regulation of tetraspanin-5 (Tspan-5) expression on the metastatic ability of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Methods The coding sequence of Tspan-5 mRNA was amplified from total RNA of LoVo cells by RT-PCR and cloned into pEGFP-C1 to construct Tspan-5/pEGFP-C1,a eukaryotic expression vector. The expression of Tspan-5 in LST-R1 cells was up-regulated by gene tranfection. Western blotting was used to detect the expression level of Tspan-5/EGFP fusion protein,and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) was used to observe the distribution of Tspan-5/EGFP in LST-R1 cells. The changes in adhesion,migration and invasion ability of LST-R1 cells were determined by adhesion,migration and invasion experiment in vitro,respectively. Liver metastasis model of nude mice was used to test the changes in liver metastasis ability of LST-R1 cells in vivo. Results The Tspan-5/EGFP fusion protein could be detected by Western blotting in Tspan-5/pEGFP-C1 transfectants. LSCM showed that Tspan-5/EGFP protein located in cell membrane. Adhesion and migration assays showed that up-regulation of Tspan-5 expression level significantly promoted the adhesion and migration ability of LST-R1 cells on a series of extracellular matrix (ECM) components,including collagen IV,FN,LN and VN (P

Objective To investigate the effect of ropivacaine combined with dexanmethasone sprayed intratracheally in patients with resistant tubes and postoperative sore throat.Methods Eighty patients ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into four groups by random digits tabel method,20 patients in each.2 ml of 0.75％ ropivacaine combined with 1 ml dexamethasone (group A) ; 2 ml of 0.75％ ropivacaine combined with 1 ml 0.9％ sodium (group B) ; 3 ml of 1％ tetracaine (group C); 3 ml of 0.9％ sodium (group D) were immediately intratracheal sprayed before intubation.The resistant tubes and degree of postoperative 24 h sore throat [by visual analog scale (VAS) scores],comfort [by Bruggrmann comfort scale (BCS) scores] and the incidence of sore throat were recorded.Results The resistant tubes appraised rate in group A,B and C was higher than that in group D [65.0％ (13/20),60.0％ (12/20),70.0％ (14/20) vs.5.0％ (1/20)] (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference among group A,B and C (P＞ 0.05).The incidence of sore throat at 24 h after surgery in group A,B and C was lower than that in group D [20.0％(4/20),25.0％ (5/20),25.0％ (5/20) vs.90.0％ (18/20)] (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference among group A,B and C (P＞ 0.05).The VAS and BCS scores in group A were better than those in group B,C and D [(0.52 ± 1.14) scores vs.(1.68 ± 1.42),(1.59 ± 1.33),(4.22 ± 1.95) scores,(2.80 ± 1.54) scores vs.(1.60 ± 1.19),(1.80 ± 1.20) and (0.45 ± 0.81) scores] (P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant differences between group B and group C (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone sprayedintratracheally can significantly increase the degree of postoperative resistant tubes,decrease the rate of sore throat after general anesthesia,and increase patient' s comfort.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remifentanil pretreatment on myoclonus after etomidate injection.Methods Sixty patients undergoing scheduled for intestinal endoscopy under general anesthesia were divided into remifentanil group and control group by random digits table method with 30 cases each.Before 0.3 mg/kg etomidate was given,the patients in remifentanil group and control group were pretreated with remifentanil 0.5 μ g/kg or amount of 0.9％ sodium chloride.Myoclonus was observed and recorded.Nausea,pruritis and apnea were observed after procedures.Results The incidence of myoclonus was 73.3％(22/30) in control group,mild in 11 cases,moderate in 10 cases and severe in 1 case.The incidence of myoclonus was 6.7％(2/30) in remifentanil group and mild in 2 cases.There was significant difference in the incidence of myoclonus between two groups (P ＜ 0.01).In control group,the ratio of myoclonus was 14/16 in males and 8/14 in females.In remifentanil group,male and female each had 1 case of myoclonus.There was no nausea,pruritis and apnea in remifentanil group.Conclusion Pretreatment with 0.5 μ g/kg remifentanil reduces myoclonus after etomidate injection,male patients are more associated with the incidence of myoclonus than female patients.

Background Ginkgolide B (GB) has been proved to have neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic effects and can effectively inhibit apoptosis of retinal photoreceptor cells.But the high hydrophobic feature and low bioavailability of GB limit its clinical application.Self microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) can effectively improve the infusibility drug dissolution and bioavailability in the retina.Objective This study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics and drug-time change of GB-loaded SMEDDS in retina.Methods Eighty SD rats were randomized into 2 groups,2.5％ GB(40 mg/kg) of SMEDDS or GB suspension(0.1％ DMSO dissolve) were gastrically given respectively in two groups.The rats were sacrificed and retinas were isolated 15,30,45 minutes and 1 hour,2,4,8,12 hours to prepare the retinal suspension.The content of GB in retina was assayed with high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-(1) (1)ss spectrum (HPLC-ESI-MS) and contrasted with standard curve.Practical drug dynamics program 3p87 was used to detect the pharmacokinetics parameters.The maximal content(Cmax,mg/g),time to peak (Tmax,h),clearance ratio (Ke/h),high-life period (t1/2) and area under the concentration-time curve(AUC0-∞,mg/(g · h)) of GB in various time points in retina after a single oral dose were calculated and compared between two groups.Results The standard curve was obtained over the concentration range of 1-32 mg/L with a linear regression equation,Y =0.0732X + 0.056 (r =0.992).A similar content-time curve was seen between GB suspension group and GB-SMEDDS group.The GB content was higher in GB-SMEDDS group than that in GB suspension group from 30 minutes through 12 hours after administration of drugs.The Cmax of GB-SMEDDS group and GB suspension group were(15.83±1.84) mg/g and(2.65±0.10) mg/g,the AUC0-∞ were(15.30±0.11)mg/(g· h)and(6.42±0.19)mg/(g · h).Conclusions HPLC-ESI-MS is proved to be a rapid,accurate,sensitive and suitable method for pharmocokinetic study of GB.SMEDDS can raise the concent of GB in retina,and it probably improve the bioavailability of GB.

AIM: To investigate the role of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the growth of Müller cells using a co-culture system in vitro . METHODS: Müller cells were cocultured with RPE cells under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions in Transwell chamber culture system. Müller cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. The number of cells which migrate through micropores and stay on the outer bottom side of insert systems were observed and counted. RESULTS: The activities of proliferation and migration of Müller cells when cocultured with RPE cells were significantly higher than those of the Müller cells when cultured alone at all time points under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. However, for both the coculture and control groups, there is no significant difference between the measurements at 3 and 6 hours. CONCLUSION: Evidence suggests that RPE, when co-cultured with Müller cells, can stimulate migration and proliferation of Müller cells under both hypoxic and normoxic conditions in a time-dependent manner; how-ever, there is no evidence to support the synergetic interaction of RPE and Müller cells co-cultured under hypoxic conditions.

OBJECTIVETo study the intelligence level and structure in school age children with fetal growth restriction (FGR).

METHODSThe intelligence levels were tested by the Wechsler Children Scales of Intelligence (C-WISC) in 54 children with FGR and in 84 normal children.

RESULTSThe full intelligence quotient (FIQ), verbal IQ (VIQ) and performance IQ (PIQ) in the FGR group were 105.9+/-10.3, 112.4+/-11.2 and 97.1+/-10.6 respectively, and they all were in a normal range. But the PIQ was significantly lower than that in the control group (104.8+/-10.5; p<0.001), and the picture arrangement and the decipher subtest scores were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.01). The scores of perception/organization and memory/attention factors in the FGR group were 99.8+/-11.1 and 116.3+/-14.4, respectively, which were inferior to those in the control group (104.6+/-11.5 and 113.4+/-14.5 respectively; p<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe total intelligence level of children with FGR is normal, but there are imbalances in the intelligence structure and dysfunctions in performance ability related to right cerebral hemisphere. Performance trainings should be done from the infancy in children with FGR.

Objective To study the effect of long-time carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum on QT dispersion (QTd) in elderly patients during Davinci robotassisted surgery.Methods Thirty elderly patients undergoing elective Davinci robot-assisted hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery with general anesthesia were enrolled in this study.Pneumoperitoneum was established at 12 mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg =0.13 3 k Pa).QTd was recorded before the induction of anesthesia; at 5,15,30,60,120,180 and 240 min after pneumoperitoneum.Results Compared with before anesthesia,mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) increased significantly at 15,30 min after pneumoperitoneum ( P＜0.05 ),and had no significant difference at 5,60,120,180,240min (P＞0.05 ).Heart rate (HR) increased significantly at 15,30 min after pneumoperitoneum (P＜0.05 ).End-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide (PETCO2) increased after pneumoperi-toneum,and had significant difference at 30,60,120,180,240 min after pneumoperitoneum (P＜0.05).In 30 patients,11 patients occurred arrhythmia including atrial extrasystole,premature ventricular beats,tachycardia.Compared with before anesthesia,QTd,corrected QTd (QTcd),QT interval,corrected QT interval (QTe) were significantly increased at 15,30,60 min after pneumoperitoneum (P＜0.05),but had on significant difference at 5,120,180,240 min after pneumoperitoneum (P＞0.05).Conclusion The effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the autonomic nervous system for elderly patients might be important,as an imbalance in autonomic cardiac control might lead to serious consequences.
