1.Advances in Studies on Gastrointestinal Dysmotility and its Mechanisms in Elderly Subjects
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2014;(12):746-749
Gastrointestinal motility disorders are commonly seen digestive system diseases in elderly subjects. During the process of normal aging,digestive tract experiences a series of degenerative changes,which is the foundation of many gastrointestinal motility disorders. Further study on gastrointestinal dysmotility and its mechanisms is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases in aging population. In this article,the advances in studies on effects of aging on motility of digestive tract( including oropharynx,esophagus,stomach,small bowel,colon and anorectum)and its mechanism researches were reviewed.

Objective To investigate the effect of alternating shift on general well-being of nurses,and analyze its relationships with related factors. Methods Alternating shift nurses from general hospi-tals above courty-level in Liaocheng city who were engaged in clinical work were selected by duster sam-pling.Questionnnires were sent out and later gathered. The investigation tools included general well-being schedule(GWB) ,marital quality inventory, social support inventory, Eysenck personality questionnaire were used in survey. Results (1)There was difference in the score of general well-being between nurses with different ages and professional titles(P<0.01). (2)There was significant difference between GWB and oth-er factors such as marital quality,EPQ (psychoticism, neuroticism and introversion and extroversion), so-cial support(P<0.01). (3)Multivariable linear regression which took general well-being as dependent vari-able, the variables which entered the equation were neuroticism, family relationship,support utilization,psychoticism, objective support, introversion and extroversion, marriage satisfaction,arrangement of econ-omy. Conclusions (1)The older, the higher of professional tltles,the stronger general well-being of nurses. (2)Sabjective well-being and marital quality, social support, lying defense were positively corre-lated; neuroticism, psychoticism were negatively correlated. (3)Neuroticism, family relationship,support and utilization, psychoticism, objective Support, introversion and extroversion, marriage satisfaction,ar-rangement of economy can affect general well-being,among which neuroticism had great influence.

Objective To study changes of telomerase activity in transitional cell carcinoma after intravesical instillation of Serratia Marcescens . Methods TRAP-PCR and TRAP-sliver staining were used to detect telomerase activity in 20 patients with TCC after intravesical instillation of Serratia Marcescens . Results Positive rate of telomerase activity detection in TCC patients after intravesical instillation of Serratia Marcescens was 50%(10/20),significantly lowed than before the intravesical instillation (90%,18/20), P

Object To study the antiinflammatory effect of matrine and its active mechanism. Methods The matrine effects on activities of secretory phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2) in peripheral serum and cytosolic phospholipase A 2 (cPLA 2) in leucocyte were measured with Escherichia coli membrane incorporated by arachidonic acid as the substrate; the Ca 2+ level of leucocyte was determined using Frua2 AM loading method, and the rat plantar swelling test was used to examine the antiinflammatory effect of matrine. Results One hour after ip 30 mg/mL matrine, the inhibitory rate of sPLA 2 activity was (81.9?1.8)% , cPLA 2 (28.4?6.0) %, while Ca 2+ concentration was (157.10?20.56) nmol/L which was 15.3% higher than that of the control. Plantar swelling test showed that matrine had a significant anti inflammatory effect. Conclusion Matrine is a novel PLA 2 inhibitor with anti inflammatory effect.

Objective To discuss the effect of night- shift work on marital quality, and analyze the relations between the marital quality and related factors in order to explore the method to tackle the marital crisis of night- shift nurses. Methods 500 nurses were selected in general hospitals of Liaoeheng above county-level, each tested nurse filled out marital quality inventory, general well-being scale,social support scale and Eysenck personality questionnaire(EPQ), and withdrew 416 copies(effective rate 90.83%) of ef-fective questionnaire after filling independently. Results (1)There were significant difference in the var-ious scores of marital quality between the nurses and the norm. (2) The marital quality was correlated with general well-being, social support and psychoticism, neuroticism and lying degree of EPQ.(3) Multivariable linear regression which took marital quality as dependent variable ,the variables which entered the equation were age of marriage, social support, psychoticism,subjective well- being,lying degree and objective support. Conclusions (1) The marital quality of night-shift nurses was low. (2)Marital quality was positively cor-relat-ed with subjective well-being, social support and lying degree, negatively correlated with neuroticism and psychoticism. (3) Marital quality were influenced by time of marriage, social support, psycholepsy, sub-jec-tive well-being, lying degree and objective support, among which social support has a great influence.

Objective To investigate the association betweent clinical markers of N‐terminal probrain natriuretie peptide (NT‐proBNP) ,cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and C‐reaction protein (CRP) in the patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by severe pneumonia and to reveal the pathophysiologic process of myocardial injury after ARDS .Methods Totally 33 patients diagnosed as ARDS caused by severe pneumonia were divided into 3 groups:mild group ,moderate group and severe group according to the New Berlin definition of ARDS .Arterial blood gas analysis ,NT‐proBNP ,cTnI and CRP were observed be‐fore the treatment .Statistics were used for the analyses .Results The NT‐proBNP level in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the mild and moderate groups (P<0 .01);the NT‐proBNP level in the moderate group was also higher than that in the mild group (P< 0 .05) .Besides ,the cTnI level in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the mild and moderate groups (P<0 .01);however ,the cTnI level had no statistical difference between mild and moderate groups (P> 0 .05) .The CRP level in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the mild (P<0 .05) .Moreover ,the NT‐proBNP level of 33 patients was positively associated with the both CRP and cTnI level (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The seriously inflammatory response mediates myocardial injury probably because of ARDS .Combined NT‐proBNP and cTnI testing is important for evaluating the condition of ARDS at the early stage .
