Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2017;23(5):725-727
Objective To explore the necessity and training needs of nursing students before nurse qualification examination.MethodsTotally 200 undergraduates and college nursing students who graduated in 2016 were investigated during March to April 2016 by using stratified random sampling method. The questionnaire survey was applied to investigate the necessity,needs,and demand degree of training before examination.Results The scores of training necessity were (4.492±0.726) for undergraduates and (4.634±0.653) for college students (P>0.05). Both undergraduates and college nursing students had high training needs,which related to the circulatory system,respiratory system,digestive system,pregnancy, childbirth,and puerperal diseases (P>0.05). But college students were less desired to have nursing training of traditional Chinese medicine compared with undergraduates [(3.909±0.913) vs. (4.299±0.675);P<0.05]. Furthermore,142 (71%) participants preferred to have training on weekends;186 (93%) participants advised to combine teaching with exercise;92 (46%) participants recommended to invite both their own teachers and professors from other schools;88 (44%) participants thought that it was reasonable to remain two review weeks between the training and the exam.ConclusionsThe training before nurse qualification examination is necessary for nursing students. Students' knowledge level and course content should be paid attention to since only reasonable and effective training can help to improve their examination pass rate.

Objective To explore the plasma-activated medium(PAM)produced by low temperature plasma(LTP)on the proliferation and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)so as to provide theoretical basis for the future use of PAM to promote wound healing and inhibit tumor angiogenesis.Methods HUVECs were selected as the in vitro research model.The PAM-containing medium after LTP treatment for different time points(0 s,15 s,30 s,45 s,60 s,and 75 s)was used for intervention.The influence of PAM on HUVECs viability was assessed using the MTT assay and cell cycle analysis.The effects of PAM on angiogenesis were examined through angiogenesis experiments.Intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)were measured using fluorescence probes.A melanoma mouse model was established,and CD31 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results As the treatment time increased,the intracellular levels of ROS also elevated.PAM derived from LTP exhibited a bidirectional effect on angiogenesis in HUVECs.Compared to the control group(0 s),low-dose treatments(15 s and 30 s)enhanced HUVECs viability,while high-dose treatments(45 s,60 s,and 75 s)significantly decreased cell viability(P<0.05).The proportion of HUVECs in the S phase was significantly increased in the PAM-15 s and PAM-30 s groups,but markedly decreased in the PAM-45 s,PAM-60 s,and PAM-75 s groups,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The HUVECs tube formation ability was enhanced in the 15 s and 30 s PAM groups,but diminished in the PAM-45 s,PAM-60 s,and PAM-75 s groups,characterized by the decreased numbers of vascular nodes,intersections,meshes,and branching points(P<0.05).After PAM treatment in the melanoma mouse model,the control group exhibited widespread distribution of CD31 in tumor tissue,while the PAM-5 min and PAM-10 min groups displayed reduced distribution of CD31.Conclusion Short-term exposure to PAM enhances HUVECs proliferation and angiogenesis,whereas prolonged exposure suppresses cell viability and inhibits angiogenesis.

【Objective】 Escherichia coli phage (ECP) and Staphylococcus aureus phage (SAP) isolated from sewage were used as research objects, and their biological characteristics were analyzed to provide new experimental materials for the application of phages. 【Methods】 ECP and SAP were purified and cultured by double-layer agar method. Then a series of biological characteristics of these two phages were preliminarily analyzed by electron microscope observation, optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) test, one-step growth curve test, temperature, pH, chloroform and ultraviolet sensitivity tests, respectively. 【Results】 The results of biological characteristics showed that ECP and SAP were both virulent phages, belonging to myoviridac family. Their optimal MOI was 10-1, and they had strong resistance to ultraviolet light. The cleavage volume of ECP was 76.3 PFU/cell, while that of SAP was 8.3 PFU/cell. ECP had a wide range of temperature tolerance and could stably survive at 30-50 ℃, while SAP was more sensitive to temperature and could be completely inactivated at 50 ℃ for 1 h. ECP could maintain a good lysis activity in the range of pH 5-11, while SAP in the range of pH 6-9. ECP had strong resistance to chloroform and was non-membranous phage, while SAP was more sensitive to chloroform and was a membranous phage. 【Conclusion】 ECP and SAP are both virulent phages and have strong resistance to ultraviolet light. The lysability, temperature, pH, and chloroform tolerance of ECP are stronger than those of SAP.
