Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2015;31(11):844-847
Objective To explore ladder and compensation system of nurse-staffing which is suitable for the situation of our country.Methods The ladder management and compensation system to nursestaffing of National Health Service (NHS) in UK were given detailed introduction and analysis through the official documents,references and personal study experiences,and summarize its scientific and referenced aspects.Results NHS has formed a set of mature competency-based ladder system,and linked the ladder system to compensation system,made a relative scientific performance appraisal system,realized the scientific competency matches the level,salary changes along with the level model.Conclusions It provides references and thinking to the in-depth reform of public hospitals in our country,and the development of high quality nursing service,as well as the implementation of nursing ladder management and compensation reform.
2.Effect of Electroacupuncture at Neiguan (PC6) and Shenmen (HT7) on Heart Rate Variability in Patients with Post-cerebral-infarction Sequelae
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(12):1181-1182
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of electroacupuncture at Neiguan (PC6) and Shenmen (HT7) on heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with post-cerebral-infarction sequelae.MethodEighty patients were randomized into two groups, 40 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by anti-platelet aggregation and other ordinary symptomatic treatment based on Western medicine, while the treatment group was by electroacupuncture at Neiguan and Shenmen in addition to the treatments given to the control group.ResultThere were no significant differences in comparing the HRV indexes between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05); while the HRV indexes in the treatment group were superior to that in the control group after intervention (P<0.05). HRV indexes were improved after intervention in the treatment group (P<0.05); of the indexes, only SDNN was improved after intervention in the control group (P<0.05), and the rest indexes were insignificantly changed (P>0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Neiguan and Shenmen can significantly reduce HRV in patients with post-cerebral infarction sequelae.
3.Advance in diagnosis and therapy of Alport syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(4):419-420,封3
Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary glomerular basement membrane disease characterized by hematuria, progressive renal hypofunction, usually with nervous deafness and ocular lesions, and its pathogenesis is the mutation in genes encoding the type Ⅳ collagen. Diagnosis of AS should combine with clinical manifestations, renal pathologic changes, immunofluorescence examination and gene diagnosis. At present, AS hasn t had any cure measure yet. As the pathogenesis of AS is much clearer in recent years, the researches of gene diagnosis and gene therapy have got some gratifying achievements.

Macrophages play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Previously, studies have shown that changes in the metabolism of glucose, choline, amino acids and lipids in macrophages of patients with RA can lead to the accumulation of metabolic intermediates which can act as inflammatory signaling molecules to aggravate the inflammation and cause complications. Therefore, a full understanding of the metabolic process of macrophages in RA patients will lay the foundation for macrophage-targeted therapy of RA. In this review, not only the role of macrophage abnormal metabolism in the pathogenesis of RA but also the research progress on macrophage-targeted drugs in RA treatment will be discussed.

There are many different kinds of drugs which can treat ischemic stroke. This study aims to analyze the clinical treatment of ischemic stroke using Chinese and western medicines and their combination scheme. Data abstracted from 15 national 3a grad hospitals' hospital information system (HIS) databases were collected, then were used frequencies to find the common used drug and type, and were used association rules to anylizs the common combined medication scheme of Chinese and western medicines. It was found that the Shuxuetong (9 015 cases, 22.66%), Danhong (7 369 cases,18.53%) and Xueshuaitong (5 302 cases,13.33%) injections were the most frequently used drugs, and blood-activating and stasis-dissolving prescription (30 384 cases, 76.39%), resuscitative prescription (6 850 cases,17.22%) and tonic prescription (5 997 cases,15.08%) were the most commonly used types of Chinese medicine. The oral dose of aspirin (20 924 cases, 52.60%), Guangxi pp injection (10 771 cases, 27.08%) and insulin injection (10 599 cases, 26.65%) were frequently used. And the types of antiplatelet agents (23 049 cases, 57.95%), vasodilator (19 608 cases, 59.29%) and antihypertensive drug (15 475 cases, 39.90%) were commonly used. The drug combination of aspirin, twenty five pearl pill, Danhong and Xueshuaitong injection were the most frequently used group and its confidence coefficient is 97.5%. The type combination of blood-activating and stasis-dissolving prescription, thrombolytic drug, insulin and vasodilator was the most commonly used group and its confidence coefficient is 97.424%. This study concludes that the drug combination of aspirin, twenty five pearl pill, Danhong and Xueshuaitong injection and the type combination of blood-activating and stasis-dissolving prescription, thrombolytic drug, insulin and vasodilator were commonly used in clinical.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression patterns of the chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 in human sperm.
METHODSWe collected semen samples from 10 fertile men, performed density gradient centrifugation, and then determined the expressions of both CXCL12 and CXCR4 in the sperm by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining.
RESULTSRT-PCR revealed the mRNA expressions of CXCL12 (0.641 +/- 0.180) and CXCR4 (0.464 +/- 0.100) in the sperm. However, only CXCR4 rather than CXCL12 was expressed at the protein level, and the positive staining for CXCR4 was observed mainly in the posterior part of the acrosome.
CONCLUSIONCXCL12 and CXCR4 are involved as important molecules in regulating the function of human sperm.

Objective To establish an efficient, effective hepatocyte isolation technique in order to increase cell production and decrease the prime cost. Methods The inferior vena cava below diaphragm was dissected and ligatured, and the inferior vena cava below liver was separated. Subsequently, the liver was perfused with EGTA through the portal vein while the inferior vena cava below liver was opened, and then the liver was harvested. The liver tissue was cut into 1 mm?1 mm?1 mm and digested at 37 ℃ water bath with Ⅳ collagenase for 30-40 minutes, then the hepatocytes were purified and cultured in CO 2 incubator. The production and function of hepatocytes were assessed. Results The isolated hepatocytes using this technique were more than 95% among the all isolated cells. No statistic difference was found in cell production and cell function comparing with traditional technique. But this technique was simplified and more economically. Conclusion This modified hepatocyte isolation technique is efficient and effective. It can ensure the amount of production and purity of hepatocytes.

Objective To observe the level of serum IFN-2? in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS). Methods The level of serum IFN-2? in 66 patients with SARS were measured by RIA, and healthy subjects served as control. Results The results showed that level of serum IFN-2? in patients with SARS in active period were significantly higher than that in control, and level of serum IFN-2? in severe type of patients with SARS either rose or fell. Conclusions The change of serum IFN-2? level indicated that cellular immunity participated in immunoreaction to SARS virus. The change of IFN-2? level in severe type of patients with SARS reflected the difference of immunoreaction in the patients.
