Objective To explore the effect of transport procedure adopted on intra-hospital transport of critically ill patients. Methods Three hundred and fifteen critically ill patients(control group)were intra-hospital transported adopting traditional method,while 309 ones(experimental group)adopting transport procedure. The occurrence rate of accidents of both groups and satisfactory rate of nurses in which the patients were admitted.Result The occurrence rate of accidents in experiment group was lower than that in control group and the satisfactory rate of nurses on transport procedure was higher than that on traditional method with statistical difference(P<0.01).Conclusion The application of transport procedure can effectively minimize the risk of critically ill patients during intra-hospital transport and increase satisfactory rate of medical staffs.

Abstract
Frailty is a clinical state characterized by increased vulnerability due to the decline of multiple organ functions. It is clinically manifested as slow movement, reduced activity, low energy level and involuntary weight loss. Frailty heightens the risk of disability, long-term hospitalization and mortality in the elderly when they face stressful events. Early assessment of frailty and personalized interventions can prevent and delay its progression, thereby reducing the occurrence of adverse events. This article reviews the literature on frailty published both domestically and internationally from January 2015 to January 2024. It provides an overview of the tools for assessing frailty in the elderly, such as the Clinical Frailty Scale, Frailty Index, Fried Frailty Phenotype, FRAIL Scale, and biological markers, and the management of frailty, including exercise, nutritional interventions, oral health management, and medication management, so as to provide the evidence for early assessment and intervention of frailty.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal administration of a mixture of butorphanol and ketamine on cAMP-PKA-CREB signal transductian pathway in the spinal dorsal ham of the rats with inflammatory pain. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats, weighing 240-280 g,in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed, were divided into 4 groups randomly (n = 6 each): inflammatory pain group (group IP), butorphanol group (group B), ketamine group (group K), and butorphanol + ketamine group (group BK). The inflammatory pain was induced by injection of 5% formalin 50 μl into the plantar surface of left hind paw. Normal saline 10 μl, butorphannl 12.5 μg, ketamine 50 μg, and a mixture of butorphanol 12.5 μg and ketamine 50 μg was injected intrathecally 30 min before subcutaneous injection of formalin in group IP, B, K and BK respectively.Pain intensity score (PIS) was used to assess pain behavior every 5 min within an hour after subcutaneous injection of formalin. The animals were killed at 2 h after subcutaneous injection of formalin, and the L5 segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) expression using immunohistochemistry. Results Fonnahn administration induced pain behaviour expressed as two phases. PIS scores, PKA and p-CBEB expression, and staining scores were significantly lower during the fast and second phases in group BK than in group IP (P < 0.05 or 0.01), while no significant differences were found in the indices mentioned above between group B and IP and between group K and IP (P>0.05). Conclusion lntrathecal injection of a mixture of butorphanol and ketamine can reduce inflammatory pain in rats, and the mechanism may be related to the cAMP-PKA-CREB signal transduction pathway.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of adrenal rest tumor.Methods Twelve patients of adrenal rest tumor proved by surgery or clinical diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed.Among these 12 patients,12 were examined with ultrasound,11 with MR and 1 with CT. MR and CT were performed without and with intravenous injection of contrast material.The imaging features of adrenal rest tumor were retrospectively summarized and the relevant literatures reviewed. Results The adrenal rest tumors were found in testis in 10 of the 12 patients,and in ovaries and broad ligament in the remaining two.The imaging features of the testicular adrenal rest tumor were summarized as following:all patients had bilateral testicular masses without change of the testicular contour. On ultrasonography,the lesions were hypoechoic, with some hyperechoic areas and appeared highly vascularized on Colour Doppler ultrasonography.The masses showed iso-density on plain CT,and avid enhancement on post-contrast CT images.The masses ranging in size from0.7 cm×1.0 cm×2.2 cm to 2.3 cm ×2.7 cm ×2.9 cm with uniform signal intensity,lobulated margin on MRI.They exhibited iso- or slight hyperintensity on T1 WI and hypointensity on T2WI relative to normal testicular parenchyma.The tumors showed intense enhancement on post-contrast MR images. No abnormality was detected with Colour Doppler uhrasonography and MR in 2 patients of adrenal rest tumor in ovaries and broad ligament. Conclusion Combining imaging features with the typical clinical history,the diagnosis of adrenal rest tumor could be suggested pre-operatively.

Angiotensin II (ANGII) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by inducing proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In our study, we observed the effects of valsartan on proliferation of cultured VSMCs treated with or without ANGII by cell counting and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and detected the expression of mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), a newly discovered cell proliferation inhibitor and a related cell proliferation signaling pathway protein by Western blotting. ANGII at a concentration of 10(-6) mol/L significantly stimulated VSMCs proliferation, down-regulated the expression of Mfn2 and up-regulated the expression of Raf and ERK1/2. Valsartan inhibited such effects of ANGII at concentrations of 10(-5) and 10(-6) mol/L, but not at 10(-7) mol/L. Valsartan had no significant effect on the proliferation of untreated VSMCs. These results suggest that valsartan inhibits ANGII-induced proliferation of VSMCs in vitro via Mfn2-Ras-Raf-ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of atorvastatin on pulmonary fibrosis of rats induced by Bleomycin(BLM). Methods Fourty-two female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups:the control group(group C),the model group which was furtherly divided into group 2-week(M2),4-week(M4),6-week(M6),and atorvastatin-treatment group which was furtherly divided into group 2-week(A2),4-week(A4),6-week(A6). Group M and A were induced to pulmonary fibrosis by the method of BLM endotracheal injection,while group C was injected with saline. On 2nd day,group A were given orally atorvastatin by 10 mg/kg?d. Rats were seperately killed on 2nd,4th and 6th week. After intratracheal injection of BLM,alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis were evaluated by pathology,hydroxyproline concentration and PaO2. Results The lung coefficient of group M2,M4,A2 and A4 was significantly higher than that of group C. The degree of pulmonary fibrosis in group A4 and A6 was improved as compared with group M4,M6. Alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis in group A were improved compared with those in group M.Hydroxyproline concentration in group A and M were significantly higher than that in group C. while A4 was lower than M4 (P
