Objective To investigate the effect of progesterone pretreatment of focal cerebral ischemic and reperfusion injury (fCIRI) and underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods A single intraperitoneal injection of progesterone (8 mg/kg) given 1 h,48 h and 96 h before fCIRI was established in male Sprague-Dawley rats.The number of survival of neurons in hippocampal CA1 region of the ischemiaside,as well as spatial memory function,was detected on days 3-8 after fCIRI.Extracellular-signalregulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation (p-ERK1/2) and nuclear translocation of p-ERK1/2 in hippocampal CA1 region were examined using western blot.Results The number of survival of neuronal cells was significantly increased in ischemic groups treated with progesterone at 1 h and 48 h pre-fCIRI (164.3 ± 11.0,218.5 ± 9.1 and 142.7 ± 12.1,F =29.4,P ＜ 0.01) compared with fCIRI group treated with vehicle.Likewise,the escape-latency to reach the hidden-platform recorded in day 5 of Morris water maze test was reduced markedly in fCIRI-treatment groups compared with the vehicle group(10.3 ± 11.1,19.2 ±9.6 and 32.4 ± 14.3 ;F =35.8,P ＜0.01).The level of p-ERK1/2 was elevated notably during 24 h to 48 h postprogesterone by western blot,while restored to the baseline at 96 h post-progesterone.Improved nuclear translocation of p-ERK1/2 was observed from 2 h to 48 h post-progesterone.The progesterone receptor antagonist RU486 blocked the exaltation of either intracellular level or nuclear translocation of p-ERK1/2,which was induced by progesterone.Conclusions The pretreatment with progesterone exerts a neuroprotective effect against the ischemia-induced neuronal death and ameliorates the deficits in spatial memory through enhancing the activation of ERK1/2.The neuroprotection derived from pretreatment with progesterone achieves a time window of not less than 48 h,which is progesterone receptor-mediated ERK1/2 signaling pathway-dependent.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of high frequency ultrasound in discovering secondary pathological changes in infant with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).Methods Thirtyfour infants with 36 dislocation hips were involved.Among them,32 were with unilateral dislocation of hip joint,2 were with bilateral dislocation of hip joint.High frequency ultrasound were used to observe the morphological changes of hip glenoid labrum,adipose hyperplasia in acetabulum,thickness variation of articular capsule,and development of the ossification center of the femoral head.Besides,the morphological changes of hip glenoid labrum and adipose hyperplasia in acetabul were compared with those from MRI.Results The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in diagnosing glenoid labral introversion were 82 ％ and 100％ respectively.The coincidence rate of diagnosing glenoid labral introversion and glenoid labral extroversion were both 83％.Adipose hyperplasias in acetabul were clearly seen in 31 hips using ultrasound.The thickness of articular capsule in the affected hip and in the healthy hip was (2.8 ± 0.6)mm versus (1.7 ± 0.4) mm,and the difference was obviously significant (P ＜0.01).The ossification center of the femoral head in the 34 infants were classified as the following four types:① which was smaller in the affected side than in the healthy side (22/34);②which was shown in the healthy side (7/34) but not in the affected side;③ which in both sides were not shown (4/34);④ which in both sides were small (1/34).Conclusions Ultrasound is a method of simple,rapid,non-invasive in diagnosing DDH,and it can be used to discover secondary pathological changes in infant with DDH,which provide important reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

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.

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.
