BACKGROUND:Many studies have shown that Chinese medicineFuming granules have certain curative effects on optic nerve injury, but a large number of experimental studies are stil needed to verify. OBJECTIVE:To verify the effect of Chinese medicineFuming granules on optic nerve injury by the method of stress relaxation experiments. METHODS: The animal models of optic nerve injury were established by the clamping method. Rats were intervened withFuming granules by intragastric administration. Model group and normal control group were set for comparison. After 30 days of successive administration, optic nerve injury received stress relaxation experiments in each group, and histomorphology was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the normal control group, the optic nerve nuclei distributed uniformly without edema, augmentation or inflammatory cels, and the axon and other contents had a clear structure. In the model group, the optic nerve fiber arranged sparsely, presented unclear structure, and axon, karyorrhexis and the other contents changed. In theFuming granule group, the transect of optic nerve which arranged densely had large area, and most of the axon had a normal structure. The decreases in stress at 7 200 s and stress relaxation were as folows: normal control group > fuming granule group > model group (P < 0.05). Results confirmed that Chinese medicineFuming granule accelerates the recovery of axoplasm of injured optic nerve, restores the morphology of axons, and contributes to the recovery of injured optic nerve.

Objective To explore the clinical value of the Luo’s fornix cup in laparoscopic total hysterectomy. Methods A total of 7 patients with indications for hysterectomy from October 2004 to February 2005 was given laparoscopic total hysterectomy. During the operation, the Luo’s fornix cup was used for the orientation and dilatation of the vaginal fornix. Then the anterior vaginal fornix was circlewise incised by using a harmonic hook to extract the Luo’s fornix cup. Afterwards the posterior fornix was opened to remove the uterus by way of the vagina. And finally the vaginal stump was closed. Results All the operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 90~250 min. With the use of the Luo’s fornix cup, the operator could easily identify the top of the vaginal fornix, and avoid the damage of important neighbouring organs. No injuries of bladder, ureter, and rectum were noted. Conclusions The Luo’s fornix cup is a rational accessory instrument in laparoscopic hysterectomy, being worthy of recommendation.

Objective To investigate the current situation and the differences of nurse work environment between a military hospital and a civilian hospital.Methods By quota sampling,a questionnaire survey was conducted among a total of 1244 nurses in a military hospital and a civilian hospital in Urumqi.Results The nurse work environment in both hospitals was favorable overall.The total scores of nursing environment and subscale scores of the military hospital were lower than those of the civilian hospital.There were no statistical differences between the two hospitals on their perceptions of the collaboration with physicians as well as leadership and ability of nurse manager.Conclusions The nurse work environ-ment in the civilian hospital was a little more favorable than the military one.Both of their managers,espe-cially the military hospital,should pay more attention to manpower and resources as well as nurses'involve-ment in hospital affairs in order to further optimize nurse work environment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of postural drainage assisting trachea suction on meconium aspiration syndrome. Methods Total 61 cases of asphyxia neonates with MAS who were born in our hospital from Jan,2007 to Dec,2008, were divided into control group (24 cases) and observing group( 37 cases). The neonates in control group had endotracheal suction directly after intubation. But the infant in observing group was treated with endotracheal suction after postural drainage. The amount of suction from endotracheal tube,the complication of MAS and the outcome of these newborns were evaluated. Results The total amount of meconium drainage from endotrachea in observing group was statistics significantly more than that in control group [( 2. 16 ± 1.82) ml vs ( 1.23 ± 0. 97 ) ml, P ＜ 0. 05 )]; The intubating times in observing group were statistical significantly less than that in control group[( 1.19 ± 0. 46) vs ( 1.79 ± 0. 83 ) times, P ＜0. 01 ). The incidence of complication in observing group was 8. 11% ,which was significantly lower than that in control group(29. 17% ,P ＜0. 05). There were shorter needing oxygen time [(21.30 ± 22. 38) h vs (52. 91 ±39. 20) h,P ＜0. 01]and shorter hospitalization days [(9. 24 ±3.94) d vs ( 14. 39 ±6. 49) d,P ＜0.01 )]in observing group than those in control group respectively. The mortality in control group was 4. 17%, and no death occurred in observing group. Apgar scores of the first minute was similar in both groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). But there was significant difference(70. 16% vs 58. 34% ,respectively;P ＜0. 05) in the fifth minute Apgar scoring of 8 ～ 10 scores between the observing group and the control group. Conclusion Postural drainage assisting endotracheal suction may remove meconium in trachea effectively, decrease the complications of MAS and shorten the oxygen days and hospitalization time.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, great progress has been achieved in the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of arterial blood vessels of normal human corpses and animals. OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively analyze the tensile mechanical properties of thoracic aorta in normaly fed spontaneously hypertensive rats and salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS: Twenty spontaneously hypertensive rats were obtained and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=10/group). Rats in the experimental group were subjected to continuous salt loading intervention for 16 weeks. Rats in the control group were fed with normal diet and ordinary tap water. At the 16th week, 10 specimens of thoracic aorta of rats from these two groups were harvested to conduct stress relaxation experiments.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The decrease in stress at 7 200 seconds and the decrease in normalized stress relaxation function value at 7 200 seconds of thoracic aortic specimens of rats in experimental group were both lower than those in the control group (P< 0.05). These results confirm that the stress relaxation properties of thoracic aorta of normaly fed and salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats change, wherein the changes in salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats are more obvious.

Objective To construct short hairpin RNA (shRNA) recombinant expression vector for herpes simplex virus typeⅡ(HSV-2) UL29 gene and observe its inhibitory effect on HSV-2. Methods Four interference target sites of HSV-2UL29 gene were selected to construct 4 groups of small hairpin RNA respectively,named shRNA recombinant expression vector. The expression vectors were transfected into HEK293 cells with liposome. HEK293 cells were infected with HSV-2 after expression vector being transfected. The viral titer was estimated by end-point titration assay. The level of transcription was estimated by Real-Time PCR method. The expressing effect of protein was detected by Western-blot. Results Recombinant expression vector pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA was constructed successfully. The result of end-point titration assay showed that the viral titer was reduced comparing with blank control (P<0.05). The result of RT-PCR showed that inhibition rates were respectively 28.80%, 59.95%, 66.08%and 36.27% comparing with blank control, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). The effect of UL29shRNA1461 group was the best one. The result of Western-blot showed that the expressing quantity of ICP8 was reduced. Conclusion Recombinant expression vector pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA can interfere HSV-2 UL29 gene expression from different cell level in vitro, which can inhibit the replication of HSV-2 genome in HEK293 cells. Thus, RNA interference (RNAi) is conducive to the further exploration of viral therapy.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between blood pressure changes within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis and the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with alteplase intravenous thrombolysis in the Department of Neurology, Anhui No. 2 Provincial People's Hospital from June 2018 to September 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. The patients who received antihypertensive therapy before and within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis were excluded. The blood pressure before intravenous thrombolysis and the blood pressure drop within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis were recorded. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the clinical outcome at 90 d after the onset. 0-2 was defined as good outcome, and >2 was defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent correlation between blood pressure changes within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis and the clinical outcomes. Results:A total of 205 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 125 males (60.98%), 80 females (39.02%); aged 63.30±9.63 years; 124 (60.49%) had a good outcome, and 81 (39.51%) had a poor outcome. Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of diabetic patients as well as baseline systolic blood pressure, prethrombolytic blood glucose, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, and the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in the good outcome group were significantly lower than those in the poor outcome group, and the proportion of patients with small vessel occlusion and the decrease in systolic blood pressure within 24 h after thrombolytic therapy were significantly higher than those in the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher baseline systolic blood pressure was independently associated with the poor outcome at 90 d after intravenous thrombolysis (odds ratio 0.964, 95% confidence interval 0.942-0.987; P=0.002), and a greater decrease in systolic blood pressure within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis was independently associated with a good outcome (odds ratio 1.134, 95% confidence interval 1.067-1.206; P<0.001). Conclusion:For patients with acute ischemic stroke who received intravenous thrombolysis, higher baseline blood pressure before intravenous thrombolysis was associated with the poor outcome, and greater decrease in systolic blood pressure within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis was associated with the good outcome.
