OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between injury age and expressions of erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor EPOR in the brain tissue of rats after cerebral injury. METHODS: Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into control group (36 rats) and cerebral injury group (36 rats). The rats were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after cerebral injury (6 rats at each time point) and the brain tissues were extracted. The expressions of mRNA and protein of EPO and EPOR at different time points were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western bloting. RESULTS: The expressions of EPO and EPOR increased within 24 h after injury. The expressions of mRNA and protein of EPO were related to the injury age, and the correlations were 0.875, 0.911, respectively (P < 0.05). The expressions of mRNA and protein of EPOR were related to the injury age, and the correlation coefficients were 0.936, 0.905, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The expressions of EPO and EPOR increase gradually in the early stage of the rat's cerebral injury, which are associated with the injury age and could be a useful value for estimating injury age.

Objective Cavernous hemangioma of infant was reported as an obscure diagnosis with the different sensitivity to corticosteroid therapy and various natural courses. Therefore, a clinical studies for the biological classification of deep subcutanious vascular lesions might be needed, which was alluded by Mulliken two decades ago. Methods Infants with cavernous hemangiomas accepted normal system corticosteroid therapy during the first 6 months of life before eight-year-follow-up, which continued until the children were 9 to 10 years old. The expression of PCNA and bFGF, and cellular histological characteristics were observed in 12 cases by biopsy. Results There were two major categories of subcutaneous vascular lesions groups: deep capillary hemangiomas, a lesion regressing slowly, and venous malformation, a lesion growing commensurated with the child. They will be also distinguished on the basis of diverse final treatment results, expression of cellular markers, microscopical characteristics, and physical signs. Conclusion The new classification appears to be helpful to make the choice of therapy for infants with "cavernous hemangiomas" , which is proven to be a terminologic confusion.

Objective To assess the possible sequestration of remifentanil by the extracorporeal circuit.Methods Two types of extracorporeal circuits (ECCs) were used-Xijian type I (group A)and AFFINITY(R) NT(group B),while in control group (group C) a glass container was used.The ECC and glass container were filled with priming solution (6%hydroxyethyl starch 1000 ml + lactated Ringer's solution 500 ml).Remifentanil Wag then added to the priming solution with the final concentration of 100 ng/ml.The priming solution was circulated in the closed ECC or stirred the glass container.The concentration of remifentanil in the priming solution was determined at 2,5,10 and 15 min after addition of remifentanil.Results The remifentanil concentration in the priming solution decreased by 75.1%,57.9% and 18.3%at 2 min after addition of the drug in group A,B and C respectively as compared with the baseline value.The remifentanil absorption by ECC was significantly greater in group A than in group B.There was no significant difference in remifentanil concentration at the 4 time points in each group.Conclusion ECC can absorb remifentanil.The remifentanil absorption by Xijian type I is significantly greater than that by AFFINITY(R).

Objective: To investigate the effect of irrational use of traditional Chinese patent medicines (CPM) on medication safety.Methods: The adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports on traditional CPM (including traditional Chinese medicine for injection) in our hospital during January 2013 to October 2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.After finding the corresponding prescriptions, the situation of irrational drug use in the reports including indications, usage and dosage, combination of traditional CPM, combination of Chinese and western medicines and course were analyzed, and the rate of irrational drug use was calculated.Results: A total of 217 reports were collected including 217 patients.The primary diseases ranked top three were cardio-cerebral vascular system diseases, digestive system diseases and respiratory system diseases.The cases involved 81 kinds of drugs, and among them, 37 cases were induced by Shenmai injection.The rate of irrational drug use associated with indications, usage and dosage, combination of traditional Chinese patent medicines, combination of Chinese and western medicines and course was 6.45% , 5.99% , 2.76% , 0.92% and 1.84% , respectively, and the total rate was 17.97% (39/217).Conclusion: The irrational drug use maybe one of the important factors related to ADR of CPM.According to syndrome differentiation, CPM should be used rationally, and pharmaceutical care should be strengthened to reduce the incidence of ADR.

Objective To investigate the training effect and application development of the health industry standard of Nursing Grading, and to explore it'sclinical applicability. Methods An electronic questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses in 30 three general hospitals of Shandong Province from November 10 to December 10 in 2015. The questionnaire mainly included four parts: basic information, training status, application status and the clinical applicability. All the questionnaires were automatically submitted by the nurse′s cell phone or computer, 3386 valid questionnaires were recovered. Results The status of standard training:93.92%(3180/3386) nurses received a comprehensive training about the standard. The answer rates of 4 theoretical examination questions was 88.95%(3012/3386), 84.49%(2861/3386), 85.17%(2884/3386), 65.71%(2225/3386)respectively. 77.26%of the nurses needed to continue training. Application status: 97.67% (3307/3386) nurses in the hospital has begun to apply Nursing Grading standard, and 97.01% (3208/3307) and 97.76% (3231/3307) of the hospital revised the standard of care systems and work processes; 78.23% (2649/3386) nurses divide the level of care based on both the patient's condition and self-care ability presently. 74.45%(2521/3386) nurses did it as follows,the doctor determine the patient′s condition level, the nurse determine the level of patient′s self-care ability, then the nursing grading was determined according to the both. In the clinical applicability survey, the choice proportion of very agree and agreeofHelping nurses to determine the patient′s level of care and It is beneficial to improve the efficiency of nursing management was 86.30% (2922/3386) and 82.66%(2799/3386);The choice proportion of very agree and agree ofHelp nurses to improve the quality of nursing services, reflecting the value of the nursing work, to meet the needs of patients was 79.36% (2687/3386), 76.56% (2592/3386), 80.98% (2742/3386) respectively. Conclusions The hospital attaches great importance to the standard of Nursing Grading, but the training effect needs to be improved;standard has been widely used in Shandong Province Physician-nurse collaboration has become the decision-making main body of nursing grading;the standard application can not only help the nurses to do decision-making correctly and improve the efficiency. It also can help nurses to improve the quality of nursing service, and enhance patients′satisfaction. So it is very suitable for clinical practice.
