AIM To analyze the effects of endomorphins (EMs) and their analogs ([D-Pro2]EM-1, [D-Ala2]EM-1, [D-Pro2]EM-2 and [D-Ala2]EM-2) on the cardiovascular system of anesthetized rats and to study its mechanism. METHODS Responses to EMs and their analogs were investigated in the systemic vascular bed of rats and the mesenteric microarteria of Bufo gargarizans. Responses to EMs were investigated on the hindquarters of the rat vascular bed under constant-flow conditions and on the isolated rabbit thoracic aorta strips. RESULTS The EMs and their analogs showed dose-related (10-9-10-6 mol*L-1, iv) and naloxone-sensitive (2 mg*kg-1, iv) hypotension in mean arterial pressure of rats with similar duration and vasodilatation in mesenteric microarteria of Bufo gargarizans. The sequence of potencies was EMs > [D-Pro2]EM-2 > [D-Ala2]EM-2 > [D-Ala2]EM-1 > [D-Pro2]EM-1. EMs were shown not to relax the isolated rabbit thoracic aorta strips without endothelium. EMs, however, relaxed them with endothelium significantly. This action was blocked by Nx (10-5 mol*L-1) and L-NNA (10-4 mol*L-1). CONCLUSION The significant hypotensive activity of EMs and their analogs is mainly associated with their vasodilatation, which is related to the release of NO from vascular endothelium, and their potency is not completely related to their affinity for μ-opiate receptor.

Endomorphins(EMs),two tetrapeptides, were discovered in 1997 and believed to be endogenous ligands of μ-opioide receptor(MOR). They mediated various physiological processes by binding to MOR that couple with G-proteins. Based on our works and literatures, we reviewed the distribution in nerve system, receptor binding properties, analgesis, effects on ion channels, conformation and struction-activity relationship of EMs.

Objective:To understand the current situation of effective teaching behavior of clinical nursing teachers and analyze it.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on nursing students and teaching teachers in Tai′an City central hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, using Cui Shasha Chinese version of Nursing Clinical Teacher Effectiveness Inventory as the research tool.Results:The score of the teachers in the "interpersonal relationship" dimension was the highest (6.32±0.89), while the score in the "nursing ability" dimension was the lowest (5.95±0.99). There was no statistically significant difference between college students and undergraduate students in the evaluation of effective teaching behaviors of teachers, while there was statistically significant difference between nursing students (including college students and undergraduate students) and teachers in all dimensions and total scores of the scale ( t values were -4.616--2.250, P<0.05 or 0.01). Teachers and students were more consistent with the 10 items with low scores than the 10 items with high scores (the total number of items was 2 and 5, respectively). Conclusions:The teaching teacher should be able to correctly identify and judge the learning needs of the internship nursing students, so that the teaching effect meets the expectations of the internship nursing students, and should be targeted when teaching internship nursing students of different educational levels as well as focusing on nursing research.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effects of different umbilical cord time on maternal and fetal outcomes.Methods:Meta analysis was used, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web of Science database, etc. were searched. The literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the literature quality was evaluated. Revman 5.2 software was used for data processing and analysis.Results:A total of 9 randomized controlled trials were included. Meta-analysis showed that delayed umbilical cord did not increase postpartum 2,24 h hemorrhage[mean difference ( MD)=-40.69, 95%confidence interval (CI) (-83.05-1.67), P>0.05 and MD=-10.33, 95% CI (-22.47-1.81), P>0.05] and did not prolong the third stage of labor [ MD= 0.32, 95% CI (-0.71-1.35), P>0.05] compared with conventional umbilical cord (early umbilical cord) method. 1,5 min Apgar scores for different neonatal umbilical cord time was not statistically significant[ MD=0.05, 95% CI (-0.02-0.12), P>0.05 and MD=-0.01, 95% CI (-0.04-0.03), P>0.05]. There was no significant difference in neonatal weight [ MD=72.91, 95% CI (-53.98-199.80), P>0.05]. Delayed umbilical cord could improve the newborn's 24 h capillary hemoglobin [ MD=17.69, 95% CI (13.55-21.83), P<0.01] and bilirubin peak [ MD=17.50, 95% CI (11.88-23.12), P<0.01]. Conclusions:Delayed umbilical cord and early umbilical cord did not increase postpartum hemorrhage and prolong the third stage of labor, and had no adverse effects on maternal. The peak levels of capillary hemoglobin and bilirubin in newborns were increased 24 h, but there was no significant difference in neonatal 1 min and 5 min Apgar scores and neonatal weight.

BACKGROUND: Traditional glass ion sealant has a poor abradability and a low rupture strength. The sealant on the occlusal surfaces easily fell off, and is difficult to replace resin sealant. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of traditional resin sealant and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) glass ionomer-based pit and fissure sealant for the young children. METHODS: Randomized comparison method was used to compare ART glass ionomer-based pit on molars of one side with resin sealant on the opposite side in 89 3-year-old children. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The retention rates of ART glass ionomer sealant after 6 and 18 months were significantly lower than those of resin sealant (P < 0.05). The caducous position of ART gliass ionomer sealant was the second deciduous molar of the lower mandible, but the caducous position of resin sealant was the second deciduous molar of the upper mandible. The secondary caries rate of ART glass ionomer sealant was significantly lower than that of resin sealant at 6 months. No significant difference was determined between groups at 18 months. These suggest that ART glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant has lower drop-out rate, simple operation and low cost with excellent caries-preventing effect. Since it is economically superior to resin sealant, the method is worth popularizing in caries-preventing projects.

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that glass ionomer sealants have a poor wear resistance and low rupture strength that are easy to fall off on the occlusal surfaces. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of high-strength glass ionomer via the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) on the pit and fissure of deciduous teeth in the young children. METHODS: A self-controlled method was used to compare ART glass ionomer-based pit and fissure seal on unilateral molars with resin sealant on the contralateral side in 89 children aged 3 years. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The retention rates of ART glass ionomer sealant after 6 and 18 months were 94.15% and 77.72%, respectively. At 6 months after treatment, ART gliass ionomer sealant was more caducous in mandibular second deciduous molars > mandibular first deciduous molars > maxillary second deciduous molars > maxillary first deciduous molars; at 18 months after treatment, the rank was mandibular second deciduous molars > maxillary second deciduous molars > mandibular first deciduous molars > maxillary first deciduous molars. The second deciduous molar of the lower mandible, but the caducous position of resin sealant was the second deciduous molar of the upper mandible. The caries prevalence rate of the deciduous teeth treated with ART glass ionomer sealant was significantly lower than that without sealant at 6 and 18 months (P < 0.01). These findings indicate that ART glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant is of a lower drop-out rate, easy to operate and of low cost with excellent caries-preventing effect.
