Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 2009;30(6):762-765
Objective To study the mechanism of Chinese Medicine in treating adenomyosis. Methods Thirty-seven patients in the Chinese Medicine treated group (17 cases of adenomyosis) and the control group (20 cases of adenomyosis, non-drug treated) underwent hysterectomy. Endometrium was looked as eutopic endometrium and adenomyosis as ectopic endometrium. Expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in eutopic and ectopic endometrium were measured by immunohistochemical techniques. Meanwhile the levels of CA125 in serum were measured. Results The ectopic endometrium of the Chinese Medicine treated group expressed lower level of MMP-9, higher level of TIMP-1 and lower ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 than the ectopic endometrium of the control group (P<0.05). The levels of CA125 in serum were significantly decreased in Chinese Medicine group after treated as contrast with those in control group. Conclusion Chinese Medicine could reduce the level of CA125 and the ratio of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 to prevent the progression of adenomyosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the causes and countermeasures for extravasation of intravenous fluids in children. Methods726 cases of intravenous infusion in pediatric surgery department from May to December 2011 in our hospital were observed. ResultsThere were 30 cases with extravasation of intravenous infusion in the 726 cases,the leakage rate was 4.13%.The specific causes of fluid extravasation included:younger age of children,not cooperating with the infusion in 18 cases,accounting for 60.00%,followed by non standardized fixation methods in 5 cases,accounting for 16.67%,and accompanying family members refused to be disturbed accounted for 13.33%,Nursing visits to owe in a timely manner accounted for 6.67%.The rate of younger age of children and lack of cooperation leading to fluid extravasation were significantly higher than other causes,the difference was statistically significant. ConclusionsChildren age,fixation method,cooperation of family members,inspections and other factors can be controlled.Along with the continuous improvement of medical standards and a variety of active and effective implementation of the measures,these factors can be controlled effectively.Strengthening the training of nurses and vocational skills to enhance their own sense of responsibility,to give standardized infusion operation and fixation,and give predictable observation and treatment,can effectively prevent the occurrence of extravasation of intravenous fluids.

Method To adopt system menstruum deal with fermented products of mycelium from Tremella aurantialba,then mycelium from tremella aurantialba was studied with the clotting time of the thrombogen,the whole blood clotting time in mice and thrombosis experiment in mice. Result Butanol extract of fermented products of mycelium from Tremella aurantialba behave anticoagulant function. Ethyl acetate extract and water extract also behave feeble activity. Conclusion The effective anticoagulant components of the fermented products of mycelium from Tremella aurantialb is butanol extract.

To explore a method of identifying myocardial capillaries and to use it to observe the effects of ischemic preconditioning on the myocardial capillaries. Anesthetized open chest dogs in ischemic preconditioning (IP) group ( n =6) were subjected to 5min ischemia and 5min reperfusion for 4 cycles before 1 hour of left descending coronary artery (LDA) occlusion followed by 2 hours of reperfusion, while in the ischemia reperfusion (IR) group ( n =6) they were only subjected to 1 hour occlusion followed by 2 hour reperfusion. Myocardial samples in ischemic area were obtained to display capillaries by silver hexamethylenetetramine staining, and their quantitative analysis was conducted by imaging analyzing system. Two growps were then compared. The results showed that myocardial capillaries were clearly shown by silver hexamethylenetetramine, and it revealed that the numerical points density, numerical perimeter density and numerical profile density of myocardial capillaries in ischemic region were obviously increased in IP group compared with IR group. The results suggested the method to identify myocardial capillaries by silver hexamethylenetetramine was reliable and practical, and IP could protect the myocardial capillaries from the damage of ischemia reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the effect of clinical nursing paths on function rehabilitation guiding of burn patients. Methods 90 burn patients were randomly divided into observation group (n=45) and control group (n=45). The observation group was guided rehabilitation with clinical nursing paths, while the control group with routine way. Results The scores of Barthel index, and physiological factors,psychological factors, social relations and environmental factors of World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Application of clinical nursing paths to guiding function rehabilitation of burn patients can improve the activities of daily living and quality of life of burn patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of ReCell technique on diabetic foot and explore main nursing measures. Methods Forty patients with diabetic foot were divided into control group(n=20)and experiment group(n=20)according to admission time. With wound bed prepared, the control group received only free skin flap grafting and the observation group was managed with ReCell technique plus free skin flap grafting.The skin flap survival and treatment time in two groups were observed and compared. Result The skin flap survival in the experiment group was better than the control group and the treatment time was shorter. Conclusion ReCell technique is effective in raising the survival rate of skin flap in diabetic foot and shortening treatment time.The improvement of nursing measures is critical for the success of ReCell technique.

Aim To investigate the effects of cell pro-liferation and activation in HSC-T6 cells by inhibiting the expression of EZH2 , and its partial relevant mech-anism. Methods By introducing the inhibitor DZNep in activated HSC-T6 cells stimulated by TGF-β1 , the protein expression levels of EZH2, p-ERK, p-AKT andα-SMA were detected by Western blot. The siRNA targeting EZH2 was designed and synthesized according to its nucleotide sequence, and their corresponding ex-pression vectors were constructed and transfected into HSC-T6 cells with LipofectamineTM 2000. The prolifer-ation of HSC-T6 cells was determined by MTT. And the protein expression levels of EZH2, p-ERK, p-AKT and α-SMA were measured by Western blot. Results By introducing the inhibitor DZNep in activated HSC-T6 cells stimulated by TGF-β1 , it effectively de-creased the protein levels of EZH2 and also the protein levels of p-ERK, p-AKT and α-SMA. By introducing EZH2-siRNA in activated HSC-T6 cells, it effectively inhibited the cell proliferation, and also the protein levels of EZH2, p-ERK, p-AKT andα-SMA. Conclu-sion Silencing EZH2 expression inhibits HSC-T6 cell proliferation and activation, and EZH2 may be a poten-tial therapeutic target gene for hepatic fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of intrauterine hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection and its preventive measures.Methods 254 cases of pregnant women with positive HBsAg and their neonatuses from Shaanxi People’s Hospi-tal were selected as the research object.The serum of pregnant women were tested HBV markers and HBV-DNA,their neo-natal umbilical cord blood were only detected HBV markers.Results In 254 samples,the positive rates of HBsAg and HBeAg within their neonatal umbilical cord blood were 5.12% and 13.78% respectively;the positive rate of HBV infection in neonatal umbilical cord blood among maternal HBeAg-positive group was 53.33%,far higher than 3.61% in HBeAg-neg-ative group (χ2 =99.44,P <0.001);the positive rates of HBsAg and HBeAg in neonatal umbilical cord blood were elevated along with the increase of maternal HBV-DNA copy (Hc= 13.50,66.70;P < 0.001).The positive rate of HBV-DNA in pregnant women with HBeAg-positive group was 100%,far more than 19.59% in HBeAg-negative group (P <0.001).Con-clusion Both maternal positive HBeAg and HBV-DNA are risk factors for neonatal intrauterine HBV infection.Prenatal HBeAg screening is predominant,especially in some hospitals without real-time quantitative assay.An effective measure to reduce intrauterine HBV infection is to be pregnant when HBV DNA and HBeAg are turned into negative after HBV inter-vention and treatment for women in reproductive age.
