Objective To learn the relationship between working pressure and mental health for nurse of transfusion room in pediatric department.Methods 120 nurses of transfusion room whose working years above half a year were investigated by questionnaire from January 2010 to December 2011.Results The maximal score of working pressure was working environment and resource (3.27±0.47),while the minimum was interpersonal relationship (1.80±0.68).The score of SCL-90 of the research group was higher than domestic model.More working pressures of transfusion room in pediatric department were positive correlated with SCL-90.Conclnsions In order to keep nurse sound in body and mind,the working pressure should be desolved in many ways.

Three widely used methods of sediment toxicity evaluation were introduced in the present paper, including organism toxicity tests, toxicity identification evaluation(TIE) and sediment quality guidelines(SQGs). Compared with the chemical analysis, toxicity tests have an advantage of taking the bioavailability of POPs into account, however, it fails to identify the causative toxicants. TIE, integrating with physicochemical analysis, implicates the specific pollutants in a tiered approach, and by which effective remediation can be designed accordingly. The sediment toxicity can be identified more quickly and appropriately by SQGs than by the former two methods. The differences among the different SQGs constituted by different standards may affect their values for toxicity evaluation. Extensive and reliable SQGs had been acquired to improve their utility. Finally, the combination of chemical analysis, toxicity tests and in situ bioassays will be the trend of sediment toxicity evaluation in the future.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome of post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis treated by induced membrane technique combined with the antibiotic cement-coated locking plate.Methods A restrospective case series analysis was made on 71 cases of post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis treated by induced membrane technique from September 2014 to September 2014.There were 55 males and 16 females, aged 18-60 years(mean, 37.4 years).Mean length of bone defect following debridement was 4.5 cm(range, 4-11 cm).Antibiotic cement-coated locking plates were used to provide the stability of the bone defects after one-stage debridement.Bone grafting and exchanging the plates with ntramedullary nails were done during the second-stage surgery.Parameters were monitored dynamically after operation to evaluate infection recurrence and bone healing, including C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), clinical features(sinus formation, redness and swelling, warmth and pain) and X-ray films of the involved limbs.Results All patients were followed up for 13-25 months (mean, 19.5 months).There was no sign of recurring infection and CRP and ESR were normal in all cases after the first stage surgery.However, four cases (6%) had recurrent infection with sinus exudates and their CRP and ESR were abnormal after the second stage surgery, and further treatments were carried out on these patients.Follow-up showed bony union in all patients within mean 5.5 months (range, 4-6 months).Conclusion Induced membrane technique with antibiotic cement-coated locking plates for treatment of post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis can shorten bone healing time and decrease infection recurrent rate without obvious impact on osteogenic activity.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the dissolution determination of Dronedarone hydrochloride tablet,and eval-uate the quality consistency of its generic and original preparations. METHODS:UV spectrometry was performed on the column of 288 nm,dissolution media of Phosphate buffer solution (pH4.5),0.1 mol/L Hydrochloric acid solution [adding into 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)],Phosphate buffer solution [pH6.8,adding into 0.5%SDS] and water,volume of dissolution medium was 1 000 ml,rotation speed was 75 r/min,the dissolution of generic and original preparations of Dronedarone hydrochloride tablet was detected,and the similarity of dissolution curve was evaluated by calculating the similarity factor (f2). RESULTS:The linear range of dronedarone hydrochloride was 2.147-25.764 μg/ml;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2.0%;recoveries 4 dissolution media were 99.53%-101.05%(RSD=0.48%,n=9),98.95%-100.05%(RSD=0.39%,n=9), 99.54%-100.20%(RSD=0.24%,n=9)and 98.54%-100.06%(RSD=0.44%,n=9). In the 4 dissolution media,f2 of the dissolu-tion curve of 3 batches of generic and original preparations of Dronedarone hydrochloride tablet was 56,60,63,68,68,52,59, 67,65,68,76,62,respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is suitable for the dissolution determination of Dronedarone hydro-chloride tablet;meanwhile,the in vitro dissolution curves of generic and original preparations of Dronedarone hydrochloride tablet show similarity,so the quality consistency is good.

Objective To observe effects of aqueous extractive of Clarke boea herb on mice with gastric ulcer, and provide basis for clinical application.Methods Gastric ulcer model was induced by reserpine. The mice were divided into normal group, model group, ranitidine group, low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups. Mice in treatment groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and control group were given the same amount of saline for 4 weeks. The area of gastric ulcer, serum proinflammatory cytokines gastric juice volume, gastric juice acidity, iNOS and COX-2 gene expressions were detected.Results Compared with control group, the gastric ulcer area in low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups decreased significantly. Clarke boea herb increased the SS and VIP, decreased the MOT and SP serum levels (P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb reduced the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines of IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-γ(P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb also decreased the genetic expressions of iNOS and COX-2 (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionClarke boea herb has good gastric ulcer preventive effects, and the high dose of Clarke boea herb group showed the best efficiency.

BACKGROUND:So far, engineered myocardium is stil facing many problems. Research has demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be differentiated into myocardial cells. Polyglycolide and polycaprolactone are commonly used artificial polymers, which have good biocompatibility.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the growth of the poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch in vitro in normal myocardium and infarcted myocardium.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in Sprague-Dawley rats were separated using adherent separation and selection method, cultured in vitro. The third passage was labeled with DAPI. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellsuspensions (2×106/cm2) were produced and planted on poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer scaffolds to form poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch. After culturing for 48 hours, the specimens were observed under electron microscope, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and then observed under light microscope. Rat models of myocardial infarction were established by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery. Poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch was implanted into the normal and infarcted myocardium for 5 weeks. The survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was determined by the detection of pathology.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Results of light microscope and electron microscope demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells grew three-dimensional y on poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch. cells and patch were adhesive wel . Under laser confocal microscopy, compared with the first week, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were marked by DAPI in the myocardium at the fifth week. There were bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells marked by DAPI in the infracted area. Results of hematoxylin-eosin staining exhibited that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were detected in the infarct area. These results suggested that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells adhered to the poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer stent wel . The complexes of poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be used for reparation of myocardium.
