Objective Investigate and intervene the psychological health state of clinical trainees in the hospital of Yuxi City, in order to explore the method to improve the psychological health and clinical quality of teaching. Methods From 2009 to 2013, clinical trainees were investigated by SCL-90. Intervention for interns included holding psychological health lectures and making psychological counseling for the serious interns. At the same time, the teachers were trained to carry out two-way intervention between the teachers and clinic interns and to improve clinical interns' psychological health. Results Before the intervention,among 216 interns,34 (15.74%) showed positive. Except fear factor, other factors were significantly different than national norms ( <0.05). After the intervention, among 149 interns, 20 ( 13.42%) showed positive. Obsessive-compulsive symptom, depression,anxiety,hostility, spirit factors and the mean scores were all lower than before ( <0.05),similar to the national norm.Conclusion Clinical trainees have prominent psychological problems. Teaching hospitals should pay more attention to psychological health of them. Intervention is necessary and effective in improving psychological health and quality of teaching.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of neonates with Listeriosis sepsis and explore the nursing experience. Methods The clinical data of 22 cases with neonatal Listeriosis sepsis were retrospectively analyzed.Results Twenty-two neonates developed Listeria monocytogenes sepsis 0.5 h~5 d after birth with 13 cases of low birth weight. The stay was 2~77 d,10 were discharged after recovery,7 were discharged after signature of their families due to improvements and 5 died of meningitis and septicemia.Conclusion Timely and accurate collection of samples should be done for laboratory examinations.Close observation of the diseases,attaching importance to infant feeding and implementation of infant developmental nursing are all critical for the improvement of cure rate.

Twelve flavonoids were isolated from an ethanol extract of Machilus wangchiana by a combination of various chromatographic techniques including column chromatography over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 and reversed-phase flash chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic data analysis (IR, MS, and NMR) as (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), 3'-O-methyl-(+)-catechin (3), 3'-O-methyl-(-)-epicatechin (4), 3, 5, 7, 2', 5'-pentahydroxy flavan (5), (-)-naringenin (6), (-)-eriodictyol (7), (-)-liquiritigenin (8), (2R,3R)-(+)-dihydrokaempferol (9), (2R,3S)-(-)-dihydro- kaempferol (10), (2R, 3R)-(+)-taxifolin (11), and quercetin (12). Compounds 1-10 are isolated from the genus Machilus for the first time.

This paper summarized researches about the factors that influenced the measurement of hand grip, including equipments, ethnics,genders, ages, morphological parameters, handedness, occupation, grip width, body posture and psychological factors. All these are to be considered in studies of grip strength.

T polymorphism,was selected as putative promoter.The recombinant constructions containing-1328-+812 of TGF-?_1 gene and CAT reporter gene(phTGF2.14T,phTGF2.14C)were constructed and transfected into HepG2 cells with liposomal trans- fection method,then the transfected HepG2 cells were treated with IL-10(4 ng/ml),HGF(10 ng/ml)or IFN-?(20 ng/ml). Reporter gene activity was analyzed by ELISA.Results:Reporter gene activity in cells transfected with phTGF2.14C was sig- nificantly higher than those transfected with phTGF2.14T(P

AIM To prepare the soluble microneedles of Aconitum brachypodum Diels alkaloids.METHODS Centrifugal molding method was adopted in the preparation of soluble microneedles.With chondroitin sulfate consumption,PVP K120 consumption and 40%ethanol consumption as influencing factors,piercing rate as an evaluation index,the formulation was optimized by Box-Behnken response surface method,after which the morphology,piercing performance,drug content and in vitro transdermal performance were investigated.RESULTS The optimal formulation was determined to be 123 mg for chondroitin sulfate consumption,298 mg for PVP K120 consumption,and 2.4 mL for 40%ethanol consumption,the piercing rate was 98.3%.The soluble microneedles were yellow and square patch with conoid needle,which could pierce aluminum foil and rat skin,along with the drug content of(0.94±0.025)mg.The soluble microneedle group demonstrated the accumulative permeability rate of 91.4%within 24 h,which was higher than that in the gel ointment group,and the permeability accorded with Higuchi equation.CONCLUSION The soluble microneedles of A.brachypodum alkaloids exhibit good mechanical strength,which can achieve effective transdermal delivery of drugs.

The research on endocrine disrupters has become one of the key directions in the field of environmental medical science. Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) are widely used in industry and family washing as one of the non-ionic surfactants. NPEs can be degraded biologically to nonylphenol (NP), whose estrogenic effects or toxicity may do harm to the reproductive systems of male fish, amphibians and mammals. Thus it is an urgent affair to develop perfect assays, evaluate the harm of these chemicals to human beings, find the exact mechanism of action and restrict the use of NPEs.

Objective To investigate the effect of prolonged stroboscopic illumination exposure on the growth of eyeball of guinea pig. Methods Thirty 2-week-old guinea pigs were randomized into three groups ( n=10 for each) . Two strobe-reared groups were raised with 20 Hz sinusoidal and 20 Hz square wave stroboscopic illumination, respectively. The control group received usual light illumination. The illumination intensity was 500 lux. All animals underwent refraction and biometric measurements prior to and after 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of treatment. Finally, flash electroretinograms were com-pared, and retinal microstructures were examined. Results There was a significant correlation between refractive errors and axial eye elongation, and myopia increasing was observed with eye elongation. After 8 weeks of treatment, the animals raised in 20 Hz sinusoidal and 20 Hz square wave stroboscopic illumination were (-0. 75 ± 0. 79)D and (-1. 50 ± 0. 91) D more myopic than the group raised in continuous illumination. The implicit time of the a-wave was delayed by 3. 8 and 7. 9 ms, respectively. No significant difference was found in retinal ultrastructures among the three groups. Conclusions Chronic exposure to 20 Hz sinusoidal or square wave stroboscopic illumination alters the emmetropization of the guinea pig eye to some extent.

To construct knockout vectors containing ampicillin resistant gene and partial sequence of hyaluronidase gene(Hyl)so that Hyl can be knock out by transforming the plasmid into Streptococcus zoopidemics mutans.First,partial sequence of Hyl(Hyl-1)was cloned into the vector of pMD19-T by using DNA of Streptococcus zoopidemics as template,and then a knockout vector pMD19T-SA was constructed,in which Hyl-1 gene was disrupted by inserting ampicillin resistant gene(Amp)from reverse PCR.As expected,the vector was proved to be consisted of Hyl-1-Amp-Hyl-1-pMD19-T.Thereafter,DNA fragment of Hyl-1-Amp-Hyl-1 was subcloned into pBR322 vector,the resulting construct was then checked by PCR and restriction analysis for the proper configuration of the knockout vector pBR322-SA.Both of the knockout vectors were used to transform Streptococcus zoopidemics and one recombinant was obtained in result.From results of PCR and Hyl activity assay,it was indicated that in the recombinant the Hyl gene was disrupted completely.
