Objective To explore nursing scheduling mode in ICU. Methods Grouping was carried out on the basis of nursing decentralized management and the two-way selection between group heads and group members. The research target was the 60 nurses in ICU. Degrees of the nurses' job satisfaction and changes of nursing quality before and after grouping were compared and analyzed. Results The general degree of the nurses' satisfaction towards scheduling was (3.75±0.70) points before grouping while (4.30±0.50) points six months after grouping. The difference had the statistical significance (t=6.5645, P < 0.01);the scores of nursing quality check on classification management, ward management, nursing security, emergency management and hospital infection management were (91.97±1.47), (93.07± 1.66), (93.43 ± 1.50), (94.03 ± 1.10), (94.07 ± 1.39) points respectively before grouping and (95.08 ± 1.63), (95.77±1.55), (96.07±1.41), (97.37±1.56) and (97.07±1.48) points respectively six months after grouping. The differences had the statistical significance (t=6.5192-10.9934, P<0.01). Conclusions The two-way selection among nurses and decentralized management grouping can improve the degree of nurses′job satisfaction and nursing quality.

OBJECTIVE: Inter-oocyte cytoplasmic transfer has been performed recently as a means to improve the outcome of assisted reproductive methods and becomes a hotspot. To overview the recent advances and problems in this area in this article, and put forth a new concept of reverse cloning technique based on ooplasmic transfer. DATA SOURCES: An online search of PUBMED was undertaken to identify correlative English articles published from January 1998 to December 2006 by using the keywords of "ooplasmic transfer, mitochondria heteroplasmy,animal cloning". Meanwhile, relevant Chinese articles published between January 1998 and December 2005 were searched in Wanfang database with the same keywords in Chinese. STUDY SELECTION:The articles were primarily screened, and the citations at the end of each reference were reviewed. Inclusion criteria: The articles related to the research of ooplasmic transfer, cloning or reverse cloning. Exclusion criteria: Repetitive studies or Meta analytical articles. DATA EXTRACTION:Totally 126 relevant articles were collected, and 31 of them were in accordance with the inclusion criteria, while 95 of them were excluded because of repetition or obsolescence. In 31 articles met the criteria, 17 studies were relevant to the ooplasmic transfer, 13 studies related to animal cloning and one study related to reverse cloning. DATA SYNTHESIS: Exciting advances have been achieved in human gamete biology, and ooplasmic transfer have been widely applied. Many studies indicated that mitochondria in oocytoplasm affected obviously the fertilization of the oocytes and early embryo development. Lots of experiments have been done on the interaction of cytoplasm and nucleus as well as the mechanism of genomic reprogramming to further the investigation. Meanwhile, the techniques are progressed. Cloning techniques is excellent in application prospect, while there are some problems at the same time. Therefore the concept of reverse cloning technique was proposed based on ooplasmic transfer. CONCLUSION: The mitochondria in oocytoplasm has remarkable effect on the fertilization of the oocytes and early embryonic development. However, ooplasm transfer can lead to mitochondria DNA heteroplasmy, and more work must be done on potential problems. The reverse cloning technique based on the ooplasmic transfer has a good prospect.

In order to favor the growth and development of the fetus,the maternal-placental-fetal unit is characterized by profound physiologic changes.These adaptations may affect maternal and fetal absorption,distribution,placental transfer,metabolism and excretion of drugs.When evaluating drug use in pregnancy,understanding both pregnancy physiology and the gestation-specific pharmacokinetics of different drugs is necessary to achieve effective treatment and limit maternal and fetal risk.This topic will focus on the pharmacokinetics and safety of drugs during pregnancy in light of changes in maternal physiology and function of placental.

Results Isoaloeresin D (53.1 mg) and aloin (106.9 mg) were separated from the crude extract (384.7 mg) with the purities of 98.6% and 99.5%, respectively. Conclusion HSCCC is a powerful technique for isolation and separation of chemical composition from aloe.

The apparatus for intrinsic dissolution test recorded in United States Pharmacopeia (USP) integrating with fiber-optic drug dissolution test system (FODT) were used to real-time monitor intrinsic dissolution processes of alliin in four media which were water, solution of HCl with pH 1.2, buffer solution of acetate with pH 4.5, and buffer solution of phosphate with pH 6.8. The intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) and the similarity factor (f2) of two intrinsic dissolution curves with two apparatuses were calculated. The IDR values of alliin with rotating disk system were 28.1.3, 33.55, 28.38 and 30.95 mg x cm(-2) x min(-1) in four media, respectively. And the IDR values of alliin with stationary disk system were 44.16, 47.07, 45.11 and 51.34 mg x cm(-2) x min(-1), respectively. The similarity factors were 56.42, 50.75, 40.30 and 40.64, respectively. The results showed that the intrinsic alliin dissolution rates were much greater than 1 mg x cm(-2) x min(-1). It inferred that alliin dissolution would not be the rate limiting step to absorption.

BACKGROUND: Based on our previous researches in mechanism studies and clinical applications of human hair keratin (HHK), a new concept "in vivol in situ tissue engineering" has been proposed. Under the guidance of this theory, a scaffold of HHK-collagan sponge (inner layer) combined with poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) (outer layer as a drug delivery carrier) would be developed to investigate its feasibility to be as a dermal dressing. OBJECTIVE: To develop a scaffold composed of HHK-collagan sponge (inner layer) combined with PHEMA film containing polydatin(PD)(outer layer as a drug delivery carrier) and to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the HHK-collagen sponge-PHEMA/PD complex on burn wound healing. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Department of Histology and Embryology, Southern Medical University between March and December 2005. MATERIALS: Burn was induced in 15 male Sprague-Dawiey (SD) rats, Rat models of burn were evenly randomized to 3 groups: experimental, positive control, and negative control. METHODS: ①HHK-collagen sponge was prepared through combination of a HHK meshwork (1mm × 1 mm in size for each grid) made up of three components (determined according to biochemical procedures of various degrees, i.e., light, medial, and severe) at a ratio of 4:3:3 with primary collagen sponge extracted from bovine tendons in a mould. Sponge film (used as inner layer dressing) was made by vacuum freeze-drying. ② PHEMA was prepared by polymerization. Than PD was added to prepare PHEMNPD film (used as outer layer dressing).③ Degree Ⅱ burn wound models were established in SD rats by scalding, Superficial necrotic tissue was removed from burn wounds at postnatal 3 days and leave the denatured dermis remained. The wounds were either covered with human HHK-collagen- PHEMNPD complex in the experimental group, or with glutaraldehyde-treated porcine skin in the positive control group, and sterile absorbent gauze was used in the negative control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Complete epithelization was taken as the standards, and at postoperative 7, 14, and 21 days, wound healing was respectively calculated. ② At postoperative 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, the whole wound surface and its peripheral tissue were dissected for observing granulation tissue growing under an optical microscope and detecting the collagen fiber and elastic fiber in the newly formed tissue by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: ① Gross observation results revealed that in the experimental group, the volume of the diffusate under the ideal moisture was less compared with the positive control group; the healing time was slightly shorter in both the experimental group and the positive control group than in the negative control group (P= 0.000); At postoperative 7, 14, and 21 days, the healing rate was higher in the experimental and positive control groups than in the negative control group (P=0.000), in addition, the experimental group exhibited higher healing rate than the positive control group at postoperative 14 days ( P ＜ 0.05). ②Optical microscope results showed that at postoperative 2 weeks, a small quantity of collagen fibers were found in the wound granulation tissue in all 3 groups, in particular in the experimental group. Immunohistochemical staining results regarding collagen protein and elastin revealed that at postoperative 2 weeks, both the fine strip-like type Ⅰ collagen fibers and a few silk-like elastic fibers were stained yellowish-brown in the dermal matrix in the experimental group, which were weakly positive in the positive control group, while there was no elastin detectable in the negative control group; at postoperative 8 weeks, burn wounds in all the 3 groups werefully recovered. Remodeling of collagen fibers was more obvious in the experimental and positive control groups than in thenegative control group, while the tendency to scar formation with derangement of epithelial cells and collagen fibers in dermis was more prominent in the negative control group than in the remaining two groups.CONCLUSION: HHK-collagen sponge-PHEMA/PD complex may be a new burn dressing via in vivo construction of tissueengineered epidermis, in which PHEMA may be a feasible drug-delivery carrier.

A 8-channel neural signal′s simultaneous transducer detection micro system was developed to research the neural loop located at the brain hippocampus zone. The components of the system contained the neural probe manufactured with the Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) technique based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, biological low noise chopper-stabilization amplifier, low noise and intermediate speed SAR-ADC converter, reduced and low power ASK/FSK modulation radio transmitter. The micro system was applicable with the characters of small volume, interferences free, neural electrophysiology and neurotransmitter simultaneous detection, high sensitivity, high linearity, etc. The electrode resistance was optimized to 35.0 kΩ after depositing nanometer platinum black on the 4 electrophysiological sites on the Pt electrode. With the modification enzyme technique, nanomaterial enzyme membrane (Pt-mPD-GluOx) was directly fixed on the glutamate detection locus for selectively detecting special neural neurotransmitter matter. In addition, the electrochemistry measurement results indicated that the linear range of glutamate was 6-35 μmol/L with correlation coefficient of 0.97, the sensitivity was 0.0069 pA/(μmol/L). The current response error was less than 3.0 pA, which showed that the neural needle satisfied differential selection. Also, the logic/analog mixed signal 180-nm Application specific integrated circuit (ASIC ) technique (SmicRF180 nm 1Poly6M) was used to manufacture the transducer back-end disposing IC chip, and the test results provided some key parameters such as chopper-stabilization amplifier (equivalent in putting noise voltage ≤0.7 μV rms@1 kHz, gain of 71-82 dB, CMRR/PSRR>100 dB), SAR-ADC (ENOB is 12 bits, power consumption is 1.2 mW when maxmium conversion speed is 1 Msps, signal-noise-ratio is 60.9 dB, etc), and ASK/FSK modulation radio transmitter (the PA′s outputting power of 4-5 dBm, the radiation range of 10 meters). The micro neural transducer integrated system was convenient and wireless wearable for the research of brain hippocampus region.
