Objective To learn the present pre-hospital emergency resources allocation in Liaoning province.Methods Site survey and questionnaire survey were used to survey the basic information,number of pre-hospital emergency ambulances,human resources,and communication/control systems of 19 pre-hospital emergency centers in Liaoning province in 2014.Results The number of pre-hospital emergency sub-stations,ambulances and human resource fall short of demand.Furthermore,these resources are found with such problems as greater service radius of average pre-hospital emergency service and longer average pre-hospital response time in countryside than cities,insufficient and obsolete ambulances short of onboard equipment and communication systems,not to mention shortage of medical workers of higher degrees and academic titles.Conclusions A great gap is found between urban and rural pre-hospital emergency resource allocation in Liaoning province,with poor resources in the countryside.The government is recommended to step up financial support in increasing pre-hospital emergency substations and resources allocation,regularly update pre-hospital emergency vehicles,set up independent title promotion mechanism,perfect communication scheduling system,in order to satisfy the demands of pre-hospital first aid.

The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is closely related to the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, vascular restenosis, and etc. A proper model for smooth muscle cell proliferation can be served as an important tool for exploring the molecular mechanisms of smooth muscle cell proliferation and the screening of potential inhibitory agents. Various factors can induce the proliferation of smooth muscle cells with different mechanisms and pathological significance. The ox-LDL, AGEs, angiotensin II (AngⅡ), high glucose, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and etc. have been successfully applied in the establishment of smooth muscle cell proliferation model. This article summarized the most commonly used models for smooth muscle cell proliferation. The inhibitory effects of Chinese herbal medicine, especially the isolated pure compounds were discussed. It was aimed to provide references for the screening of smooth muscle cells based medications as well as studies on related research and development of Chinese herbal medicine.

Objective To observe the effect of auricular point sticking plus breast massage with rehabilitation apparatus on lactation in the puerperant. Methods Totally 127 in-hospital primiparae were randomized into a treatment group of 62 cases and a control group of 65 cases. The control group was intervened by conventional nursing care, while the treatment group was by auricular point sticking plus breast massage with rehabilitation apparatus in addition to the conventional nursing care. The lactation yield, initial lactation time, and the change of prolactin (PRL) were observed. Results There were significant differences in comparing the lactation yield grading and initial lactation time between the two groups (P＜0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the serum PRL level on the postpartum day 1, 2, and 5 between the two groups (P＜0.01, P＜0.05). Conclusion Auricular point sticking plus breast massage with rehabilitation apparatus can promote milk secretion, the initial lactation time, PRL production, and the breast feeding rate.
