Objective To research the correlation of the expressions of lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) and its receptor (NGALR) in serum and placenta with preeclampsia.Methods From Dec.2010 to Apr.2011,64 women with preeclampsia who delivered in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College were recruited in the study,including 26 women with moderate preeclampsia ( MPE group) and 38 women with severe preeclampsia (SPE group).Twenty-five healthy pregnant women were taken as control group.LCN-2 and NGALR mRNA and protein expression in placenta were measured by reverse transcription-PCR ( RTPCR) and western blot,respectively.Results ( 1 ) The serum levels of LCN-2 in MPE group and SPE group [ (58 ±20),(90 ± 18) μg/L] were significantly higher than that in control group [ ( 19 ±6) μg/L,P<0.01] ; the serum LCN-2 level in SPE group was significantly higher than that in MPE group (P <0.01).(2) LCN-2 mRNA expression in placenta in MPE group and SPE group (0.55 ±0.14,0.61 ±0.14) were both significantly higher than that in control group (0.28 ±0.16,P <0.01 ) ; LCN-2 protein expression in placenta of MPE group and SPE group ( 2.2 ± 0.4,2.4 ± 0.5 ) were also significantly higher than that in control group (1.4 ±0.4,P <0,01 ),no significant difference was found between MPE group and SPE group ( P > 0.05 ),(3) No significant difference was found in the expressions of NGALR mRNA in placenta among MPE group,SPE group and control group (0.46 ±0.1l,0.46 ±0.14,0.45 ±0.15,P >0.05 ).(4) NGALR protein expressions in MPE group,SPE group and control group were 2.7 ±0.8,3.0 ±0.9,and 2.7 ± 0.9,and there were no significant difference among these three groups ( P > 0.05 ).(5) In preeclampsia,serum LCN-2 level significant associated with 24 hours total urinary protein and uric acid ( r =0.565,0.476,P<0.01).LCN-2 serum level were not associated with systolic pressure and diastolic pressure (P > 0.05 ) ; there were no association with the expressions LCN-2 mRNA aud protein in placenta ( P > 0.05).Conclusions Serum LCN-2 level is closely related to the progress of preeclampsia.Increasing expression of LCN-2 in placenta may be a compensatory response to preeclampsia.

[Objective] To observe the effects of Changyanqing, a Chinese prescription with the actions of regulating qi and activating blood, strengthening spleen-qi and clearing away heat, on ulcerative colitis (UC) and to explore its therapeutic mechanism . [ Methods ] Forty mice were randomized into Changyanqing group ( Group A ), salicylazosulfapyridine group (Group B), Changyanqing and salicylazosulfapyridine (Group C) and model group (Group D). Mouse models with UC were induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Effects of Changyanqing on disease activity index (DAI) and intestinal myeloperoxidase (MPO) content were observed. [Results] Changyanqing reduced DAI and MPO activity and its effect was similar to that of salicylazosulfapyridine. [ Conclusion ] Changyanqing exerts a better effect in treating DSS-induced UC and one of its therapeutic mechanisms may be related to the reduction of MPO activity.

Objective To explore the relative factors affecting the functional restoration of knee joint after the fracture of patella, and to anticipate the effect of middle term and short time rehabilitation therapy. Method 23 patients with limited flexion function of knee joint after the fracture of patella, accepted the routine rehabilitation treatment in out patient service, and some of the patients adopted local heat therapy at the same time. The 13 factors have been selected for regression analysis step by step under the help of SPSS statistical software. Result The flexible degree of the knee joint before rehabilitation (X1), the non smooth posterior edge of patella (X2), and the immobilization time of the joint (X3) are relative factors for the flexible degree of knee joint 1 month after ehabilitation (Y1) and the flexible degree of knee joint 3 onths after rehabilitation (Y2), and Y1 can also be affected by whether surgery therapy or not (X4), (partial regression coefficient P< 0.05). The differences between theoretical mean and practical mean of Y1 and Y2 are 5.6% and 4.2% respectively in the 23 cases. Conclusion The flexible degree of the knee joint before rehabilitation, whether the posterior edge of patella is smooth or not, and the immobilization time of the joint are relative factors affecting the middle term and short term flexible function of knee joint after the fracture of patella, and short term restoration can also be affected by whether surgery therapy or not. The effects of middle term and short term rehabilitation can be predicted by regression equation primarily.

Objective To construct and implement theSTARnurse training model, and discuss its application effect and the problems that should be paid attention to, and to provide operational cases and practical basis for nursing clinical education. Methods Through literature review and expert consultation, the framework and content of STAR nurse training model were set up and implemented. The questionnaire survey and semi structured in-depth interviews were conducted among the nurses in the hospital to evaluate the effect of improving the nurses′self-directed learning ability. Results After the implementation of the project, the scores of the three dimensions of self-management, desire for study and self-control were (3.67±0.57), (4.05±0.54), (3.99±0.50) points, which were higher than (3.55±0.49), (3.71± 0.52), (3.53±0.42) points before implementation. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or 0.01). The semi structured in-depth interviews showed that all the nurses believed that STAR nurse training model could promote independent learning and stimulate interest in learning. 14 nurses thought it was beneficial for the nurses to find the problems. Conclusions STAR nurse training model can create a favorable learning environment for nurses, and stimulate the learning motivation. It plays a positive role in improving nurses′ability of self-directed learning.
