Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2012;28(14):16-18
Objective To explore the clinical value of predictive nursing procedure for patients with orthopedic trauma. Methods 130 patients with orthopedic trauma were randomly divided into the observation group(72 cases)and the control group(58 patients).The control group was given conventional orthopedic care.The observation group was given predictive nursing procedure.The effective rescue time,hospital stay,hospital costs,complications,success rate of rescue and satisfaction degree with nursing for the two groups were taken for statistics. Results The effective rescue time and hospitalization time of the observation group were significantly shorter than the control group.The hospital costs reduced significantly.The complications in the observation group were significantly less than the control group,while the success rate of rescue was significantly higher.The satisfaction degree of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group. Conclusions The predictive nursing for patients with orthopedic trauma can improve treatment effect and reduce complications and hospital costs,which is worthy of promotion.

Objective:To observe the effects of All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the immune functions of AChR-specific lymphcytes via in vitro assays,and investigate the possibility of ATRA in the clinical treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG).Methods:CFA control group and EAMG experimental rats were established to obtain single lymphocytes suspension and cells were followed by AChR97-116 peptide with or without ATRA stimulation for 72 h,and then viable cell population,cell apoptosis,cell cycle and the distribution of Th cells were determined by flow cytometry.CCK-8 assay was selected to evaluate the effects of ATRA on proliferatory ability of lymphocytes.ELISA was used to detect the antibody secretion of B cells affected by ATRA.Results:Compared with CFA group,lymphocytes obtained from EAMG rats had higher ratios of living cells,and this ratio was obviously decreased after ATRA treatment,P<0.001.Different concentrations of ATRA promoted the apoptosis of AChR-specific cells (P<0.001),and the promoted effects were ATRA dose-dependent,however,cell cycles were not changed.ATRA markedly inhibited the proliferation of cells from both CFA and EAMG groups,moreover,AChR-specific cells were more sensitive to ATRA treatment (P<0.01) than that of cells from CFA rats (P<0.05).The ratio of AChR-specific CD4+T cells was reduced by ATRA (P<0.01),and ATRA incubation significantly promoted the percentages of Th2,(PCD4+-4IL-4+<0.001),Treg (PCD4+-Foxp3+<0.001) cell types,but markedly inhibited the percentages ofThl7 (PCD4+-IL-17+<0.05),Thl (PCD4+-IFN-γ+<0.001) cells.ELISA data showed us that ATRA obviously down regulated the antibody secretion of AChR-specific B cells,P<0.01.Conclusions:ATRA not only inhibited the functions of AChR-specific T cells,but also suppressed the roles of AChR-specific B cells,predicating a therapeutic effect of ATRA on myasthenia gravis therapy.

Objective: To observe the activation of microglia and the changing rule of inflammatory cytokine as IL-6, IL-10 and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in experimental rabbits after spinal cord ischemia reperfusion (SCIR) injury in order to provide theoretical basis for post-conditioning time. Methods: Rabbit SCIR injury model was established by thoracic aorta balloon occlusion. 54 New Zealand male adult white rabbits were divided into 9 groups: Sham group (the animals received balloon implantation without occlusion), SCIR-0h group (reperfusion was conducted at 0 hour of spinal cord ischemia), SCIR-1h, -2h, -3h, -8h, -24h,-48h and -72h groups. n=6 in each group. The number of normal and apoptosis neurons, the levels of Iba-1, IL-6, IL-10 and NF-κB in spinal tissue were examined and compared among different groups respectively. Results: The number of normal neuron was decreasing with the extended reperfusion time, TUNEL-positive neuron began to increasing in SCIR-8h group and the peak was reached in SCIR-24h group. The expression of Iba-1 began to elevating in SCIR-2h group and the peak was obtained in SCIR-8h group; NF-κB began to rising in SCIR-3h group and the peak was observed in SCIR-8h group; both IL-6 and IL-10 arrived the peak in SCIR-24h group. The expressions of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were positively related to Iba-1 level. Conclusion: Microglia activation had dynamic changes in experimental SCIR rabbits and the expression levels of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were positively to microglia activation; post-conditioning time at front and back to microglia activation may reduce neuron injury.

Objective To observe the evolution of astrocytes,GDNF,BDNF and Jak-STAT signal pathway after spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits.Methods Spinal cord ischemia was induced by means of balloon occlusion of the infrarenal aorta for 22 minutes in 54 male New Zealand white rabbits.We assigned rabbits to 9 groups (n =6),one sham group,eight operation groups.The operation process in the sham group was the same as the operation group except the ischemia reperfusion of the spinal cord.At 0 h,1 h,2 h,3 h,8 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after reperfusion,animals were sarcrificed and the spinal cord was removed for histologic,immunohistochemical study and western blotting.Results Normal neurons were decreased with the extension of reperfusion time.Levels of GFAP increased at 3 h and reached a peak at 48 h after reperfusion.GDNF was increased reaching two peaks after injury,the first peak was at 3 h,the second was at 72 h.BDNF level was increased and peaked at 24 h after reperfusion.The expression of p-STAT3 showed a biphasic pattern which peaked at 1h and 48 h.GFAP,GDNF,BDNF were rare and the level of p-STAT3 could be neglected in sham group.Conclusion Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury could induce the activation of astrocytes,the expression of GDNF,BDNF and the activation of JakSTAT signal pathway.They showed different expression rules in this study.
