Dysphagia increases the risks of mortality and palindromia post stroke, and influences the rehabilitation and quality of life. All the patients with stroke need a set of clinical screening, and those positive would accept comprehensive evaluation, both bedside and lab-oratory. Many approaches have been used for dysphagic rehabilitation, but it is not clear what the best is.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of acupuncture of points of three hand yang meridians for treating postapoplectic finger contracture. Methods: Sixty patients with postapoplectic finger contracture were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture of points of three hand yang meridians and the control group, conventional acupuncture. The curative effects and posttreatment hand myodynamia scores were compared between the two groups. Results and Conclusion: All the cure rate, marked efficacy rate and total efficacy rate were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (P＜0.05). Hand myodynamia score was significantly lower after treatment than before in both groups (P＜0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups after treatment. It is indicated that clinical hand function was improved more in the treatment group than in the control group.

Objective:To study the effect and underlying mechanism of rosmarinic acid in the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Meth-ods:An MTT method was used to determine the inhibitory effect on the growth of HepG2 cells treated with rosmarinic acid for 48 hours. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis after treated with rosmarinic acid at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h. Western Blotting was used to detect the expression of P53 and c-Myc protein after treated with rosmarinic acid for 48 h. Results:When HepG2 cells were treated with rosmarinic acid at the concentrations of 12. 50, 25. 00, 50. 00 and 100. 00 μg·ml-1 for 48 h, the cell growth was inhibited and the half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 43. 48μg·ml-1. By comparing HepG2 cells treated with rosma-rinic acid at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h, rosmarinic acid had the effect on the early apoptosis of HepG2 cells after the 48-hour treatment. When treated with rosmarinic acid at the different concentrations for 48 h, the expression of c-Myc decreased with the concentration increase of rosmarinic acid, and the expression of P53 increased with the concentration increase of rosmarinic acid. Con-clusion:The inhibitory effect of rosmarinic acid on the proliferation of HepG2 cells is in a dose-dependent manner, and it can promote the apoptosis of HepG2 cells through the activation of P53 and the cleavage of proto-oncogene c-Myc protein.

Objective To prepare an occupation well-being scale for nurses, and test its reliability and validity. Methods After literature review and semi-structured interviews, the item pool of the occupation well-being scale for nurses was created based on theory of structure of the subjective well-being. After group discussion, and evaluation by the specialists, a pilot scale was obtained. A total of 350 clinical nurses were selected by using stratified sampling method, and their occupation well-being were surveyed by the scale. The data were used to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The occupation well-being scale for nurses had 3 dimensions, including 8 exploring factors. The values of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient of the total scale, endogenous exogenous satisfaction, satisfaction of nurses occupation happiness were all larger than 0.9, which meaned the internal consistency was good. In the emotion dimension, the value of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient were less than 0.7, which meant the internal consistency was not so good. The reliability coefficient of repeated measurement of the whole scale and each dimension were greater than 0.7, suggesting the external consistency of the scale was good. The content validity index of 3 dimensions were all larger than 0.9,and the cumulative ex-planatory variables were all larger than 55%. Conclusion The occupation well-being scale for nurses proposed in this study has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the occupation well-being of the nurses.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism responsible for homoharringtonine (HHT), which contributes to imatinib (IM) sensitivity in the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line. Methods:We established cell lines from a patient with CML at the time of first diagnosis and relapse phase, and designated the cell lines as NPHA1 and NPHA2, respectively. Stable underexpressed EphB4 cells (NPHA2-EphB4-sh) were obtained. Leukemia cell lines were incubated with HHT. The activated signal proteins in cells were tested by Western blot. Results:EphB4 was overexpressed in IM-resistant NPHA2 compared with the NPHA1 cell line. However, the expression of EphB4 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in knockdown NPHA2-EphB4-sh cells compared with the NPHA2 and NPHA1 (P<0.001) cell lines. NPHA2-EphB4-sh cells were sensitive to IM (IC50:0.93 mg/L), and NPHA2 showed IM re-sistance (IC50 : 5.45 mg/L) (P<0.001). However, co-stimulation with HHT+IM decreased IC50 of NPHA2 cells to 1.17 mg/L (P<0.001). Meanwhile, phospho-Rac1/cdc42 was significantly increased in NPHA2 cells compared with NPHA2-EphB4-sh (P<0.001). HHT blocked the expression of EphB4/RhoA. Conclusion: The overexpression of EphB4 contributed to IM resistance in CML line cells. EphB4/RhoA may be a new marker of IM resistance. HHT with IM yielded more treatment advantages than IM alone by blocking EphB4/RhoA pathways.

Objective To study the value of MSCT angiography(MSCTA)in diagnosing lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD) of diabetic foot ulcers and analyze the possible influential factors on the onset of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods 80 diabetic patients for MSCTA examination were divided into two groups by whether combined with foot ulcers.The tibial artery calcification score (TACS) and peripheral arterial occlusion index (PAOI) were calculated and the possible risk factors of diabetic foot ulcer were analyzed.Results There were 30 cases suffered with foot ulcer and 18 cases occurred lower extremity arterial occlusion (LEAO), the average PAOI was 4.40(3.60, 5.75).Non-foot ulcer cases were 50, and there were 8 cases suffered with LEAO, the average PAOI was 2.05(1.43, 3.10).Compared to patients without foot ulcer, patients with foot ulcer were older, had a lower BMI, and were more likely to have a history of tobacco use.They usually had higher TACS and severer peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).Stepwise regression model showed that foot ulcers had significant correlation with TACS and PAOI.Partial correlation analysis showed TACS was independent from PAOI in impacting diabetic foot ulcer.Conclusion MSCTA has important clinical value in diagnosing and valuing diabetic foot ulcer LEAD.Age, smoking history,BMI,TACS and PAOI affect the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers, and TACS and PAOI are the independent risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers.

We analyzed the pathogenic characteristics of Salmonella strains isolated from diarrhea patients in Wuxi City,Jiangsu Province,China and compared the differences among pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns of main serotype strains,so as to provid scientific basis for disease control.After biochemical identification of the Salmonella strains isolated from infectious diarrhea patients in Wuxi in 2015,drug susceptibility test,serotyping and PFGE were applied to analyze these strains.Results showed that a total of 32 Salmonella strains were detected from 756 diarrhea specimens with a positive rate of 4.23 ％.The infection occurred more frequently between May and October and adults aged more than 60 years old affected mostly.There was no significant difference between genders in infected population.The drug susceptibility test indicated that the antibiotic resistance rate of these Salmonella strains to ampicillin (56.25 ％) was the highest,and to ciprofloxacin(6.25 ％)and Ceftazidime (6.25％) were the lowest.The 32 Salmonella strains belonged to 11 serotypes,and S.enteritidis(31.25％)and S.typhimurium(21.88％) were the predominant serotypes.PFGE showed that the pattern similarity of all S.enteritidis was more than 85 ％;PFGE patterns of S.typhimurium were different.In conclusion,the infection of Salmonella from diarrhea patients in Wuxi City had obvious season and age specific distribution,and the most prevalent serotype of Salmonella was the S.enteritidis.It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of Salmonella concurrently in food and environment.
