Objective To study the effects of hypoxia on adhesion and migration of ovarian carcinoma cell line Caov-3 in vitro. Methods The ovarian carcinoma cell Caov-3 was cultured under normoxic condition or in hypoxic condition. In vitro adhesion of Caov-3 on extracellular matrix fibronectin and matrigel was detected using MTT colorimetric assay. In vitro migration of Caov-3 on extracellular matrix matrigel was assayed with cellular migration test. Results In vitro cell adhesion experiment showed that, compared with the control cells, hypoxia increased cell adhesion to extracellular matrix matrigel and fibronectin by 17.1% and 15.2%, respectively. There were significant differences between the normal conditions and hypoxia (P

Objective To provide basis for the formulation of policies and measures that will reduce the work pressure on nurses and to provide them with a better working environment. Methods An investigation was made via questionnaires into 942 nurses working in designated SARS hospitals and a comprehensive analysis was conducted by means of multivariant stepwise regression. Results The major factors affecting the pressure on nurses include: lack of support from and communications with families, arduousness of tasks to an unbearable point, extreme strictness in management, and unsoundness of treatment and living conditions. Conclusion Good communications with families are of great significance to nurses working in isolated areas. It is imperative to rationally allocate the human resources of nurses, show more concern for them, encourage them to participate in management, and strengthen scientific prevention so as to create a better working environment.

Objective To investigate multiparametric immunophenotypic features in patients with acute myelocytic leukemia(AML)-M_2 bearing AML-1/ETO gene rearrangements and its predicting value.Methods A multiparametric flow cytometry was used in the study of phenotypic characterization of the subtype of AML.Immunophenotype of 30 patients with AML(M_2/ETO~+)was analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH).The results were compared with 36 patients of AML-M_2 with AML-1/ETO~- (M_2/ETO~-)and 34 acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL)patients.Results There were a population. 15.89%-68.53% the blast cell and a population of more differentiated and heterogeneous myeloid cells in the marrow of 30 patients with M_2/ETO~+.The blast cells had a myeloid phenotype(CD_(33),CD_(13)and MPO) and showed a characteristic pattern of antigen expression.The fluorescent intensity of CD_(33)in patients with M_2/ETO~+ was less than in patients with M_2/ETO~-and APL [ mean fluorescent intensity(MFI):98?75 v. 244?184 and 845?523,both P

Objective:To understand the anxiety and depression status of junior standardized training nurses and its influencing factors,to explore the humanistic care strategies for anxiety and depression,and thus to provide the basis for improving the psychological state of the nurses and the content of standardized training.Methods:Across-sectional questionnaire survey were conducted among 161 standardized training nurses in one Three-A hospital using Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).Results:The positive rate of depression and anxiety in 161 standardized training nurses were 51.60％ and 34.70％,respectively.The coarse average scores of depression and anxiety were (39.73 ± 8.55) and (37.21 ± 8.64),respectively,which were higher than Chinese norm (33.46 ± 8.55) and (29.78 ± 6.46) (P ＜ 0.05).Family burden,clinical profes-sional knowledge and skills and work environment had influences on depression;family burden and the differences of rotation departments had influences on anxiety.Conclusion:The formulation of content of standardized train-ing should consider the different characteristics of rotation department.We should create a good working atmo-spherefor standardized training nurses,improve the training of professional knowledge and skills on the basis of paying attention to humanistic care,strengthen the training of psychological quality and psychological counseling.

Objective To explore the diagnostic and prognostic significances of platelet parameters changes in Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods The platelet total(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW)and plateletcrit(PCT)were measured in 23 cases of KD on acute febrile phase and early recovery phase.It was compared with 33 cases suffered from other febrile diseases during the same period and in similar ages.Each KD child should accept the cardiology ultrasonic examination.Results The level of PLT,PCT increased in KD patients.It was more significant in early recover period than in acute febrile period(P0.05).PLT negatively correlated with MPV,PDW(r=0.358,0.268 Pa0.05).Conclusions The changes of platelet parameter play a very important role in diagnosis of KD.But it still can not be certain that whether the changes can help us estimate the variety of the patients condition and prognosis of KD children.It requires further study.
