AIM: To study the effect of caffeine on the large conductance calcium activated potassium (K_(Ca)) channels by patch-clamp technique on smooth muscle cells enzymatically isolated from the porcine coronary artery (PCASMC),and to investigate the effect of ryanodine on K_(Ca) being activated by caffeine.METHODS: Using the single channel patch-clamp technique,single PCASMC was isolated by collagenase,the activity of single K_(Ca) channel was recorded in porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells.RESULTS: Caffeine (0.1-10 mmol/L) enhanced the open probability (Po) of K_(Ca) channels in a dose-dependent manner in the intracellular side of inside-out patches and its effect was almost completely abolished by washout. Caffeine decreased the mean close time markedly,but had no effect on the amplitude of K_(Ca) channels. However,ryanodine (10-40 μmol/L) decreased Po of K_(Ca) channels activated by caffeine in a dose-dependent manner in cell-attached patches. The mean open time also decreased.CONCLUSION: Caffeine directly activates K_(Ca) channels of porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells in inside-out patches,the activity of single K_(Ca) channel is inhibited by ryanodine indirectly in cell-attached patches.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Q-switched Alexandrite laser at 752 nm in the treatment of nevus of Ota. Methods A total of 1985 cases of nevus of Ota were treated with the Q-switched Alexandrite laser PhotoGenica HT10, and then the ages, frequency of treatment and interval of treatment were analyzed. Results The excellent effective rate was 97.88 %, and the total effective rate was 100 % in 1985 cases. Most patients in all age group received the excellent effects, however, there was no significant difference between the groups. Most patients acheived the excellent effect after 4 to 5 treatments, and very few patients (0.8 %) needed over 10 treatments; the rate ofpatient who needed 1-3 treatments or 6-10 treatments was 18. 2 % and 25.8 %, respectively. The patients had the most excellent efficacy in the group that the interval of two treatments was 4 to 6months, however, there was no significant difference between the group of the interval of two treatments over 6 months. In our study, there were only a few cases (4.48 %) with slight side reaction,such as temporary pigmentation and hypopigmentation and scar. Conclusions 752 nm Q-switched Alexandrite laser is one of effective and safe treatments for nevus of Ota.

The incorporation of site-specific recombination systems can help to overcome bottlenecks in livestock transgenic technology. For evaluating the efficiency of Cre/lox mediated DNA recombination in embryos and somatic cells, a working model was established using rat mammary carcinoma cell line SHZ-88, aimed at creation of and use repeatedly of selected "friendly loci" in transgenic livestock. An integration vector pTE-lox2272-DsRed-loxP-GFP-loxP, which red fluorescence gene DsRed served as the first target gene and green fluorescence gene GFP as marker gene, was constructed for introduction of acceptor loci in genome. At the same time a replacement vector pT-lox2272-neo-loxP in which Neo coding sequence served as the second target gene was also constructed for replacing DsRed gene. Transgenic cell clones were produced by electroporating SHZ-88 cell with the integration vector. Cells from three transgenic clones selected randomly were further amplified and were then co-electroporated with the replacement vector as well as cre gene. Analysis of the expression patterns of DsRed and GFP indicated that among the 1 070 cell colonies the efficiency on marker GFP deletion was 91.1% and the efficiency on gene replacement was 29.3%. Molecular analysis by PCR and Southern blotting confirmed that the color patterns as expressed by cell colonies could represent the actual molecular events. This working model mediated by Cre/lox system should be useful for the improvement of the present animal transgenic technology.

Objective To explore the effects of disease integrated nursing model on nutrition management of diabetic patients, so as to promote patients′ slef-care and nutriture. Methods A total of 130 diabetic patients were selected and averagely divided into control group and experimental group by computer sequence from January to November 2011. The patients of control group underwent routine nursing, while the patients of experimental group received disease integrated nursing model based on the control group. After 6 months interventions, we compared the results of body mass index ( BMI) , fasting blood glucose ( FBG) , 2 hs postprandial blood sugar ( 2 hs PBS ) , glycosylated hemoglobin ( GH ) , triacylglycerol ( TG ) , and total cholesterol ( TC ) level, and compared mastering knowledge of disease between two groups. Results After 6 months intervention, except BMI, the FBG, 2 hs PBS, GH, TG and TC were ( 6. 21 ± 1. 62 ) mmol/L, (8. 32 ± 2. 41) mmol/L, (6. 43 ± 1. 71)%, (1. 51 ± 0. 38) mmol/L and (5. 01 ± 0. 72) mmol/L in the experimental group which was lower than these of the control group (t=8. 37, 11. 41, 9. 49, 7. 94, 8. 56;P<0. 05). The diet plan, movement plan and medicine knowledge of experimental group were (92. 11 ± 6. 01), (92.03±5.09) and (92.16±4.18) score (t=15.49,17.32,14.79;P<0.05).Conclusions Application of nutrition management and education based on disease integrated nursing model can improve the nurtiture of diabetic patients.

We report a case of a 2 200 g premature male baby born through cesarean section under maternal endotracheal intubation mechanical ventilation combined with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at 34 +1 gestational weeks, while his mother was infected with influenza A in late pregnancy. Due to neonatal pneumonia, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, prematurity, and low birth weight, the neonate was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit for body temperature maintenance, respiratory support, maintenance of perfusion and internal environment, and nutritional management. The infant was discharged 17 days after birth and was well at six-month-old follow-up. His mother was discharged at 20 days post-delivery.
