[Objective] To purify and characterize a novel factor X activator,Fve-1 from Daboia russelli siamensis (Myanmar) venom.[ Methods]F V e-1 was purified by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration.The hemostatic activity of F V e-1 was determined based on chromogenic substrates.The fibrinogen-clotting activity of F V e-1 was also determined.Thermal stability, pH stability,enzyme activity,and inhibition of F V e- 1 were determined by its remaining procoagulant activity.N-treminal sequence was determined by the method of automated Edman degradation.[ Results ]F V e-1 was achieved by chromatography with a molecular weight of 13,808 and an isoelectric point of 4.6. The hemostatic activity of 0.5 mg Fve-1 was equal to that of 1.5625 u thrombin or that of 54.93 ng RVV X. F V e-1 primarily activated F X, but did not affect on prothrombin and fibrinogen. The suitable pH and temperature range of F V e-1 was 6.5-7.5 and 25-60 ℃,respectively.The activity of F V e-1 was enhanced by Ca2+ and inhibited by EDTA and DTT.The N-terminal sequence of F V e-1 was NH2-N-L-Y-Q-F-G-E-M-I-N.[Conclusion] F V e-1 is a factor X-activating enzyme,which could activate FX to FX a,but have minimal effect on prothrombin and fibrinogen.

Objective To explore the status and related influencing factors of disaster preparedness for ICU nurses and provide reference for carrying out learning and training of the knowledge of specialized disaster rescue. Methods With convenience sampling of network questionnaire, ICU nurses in two Fujian province hospitals attended the investigation. Results A total of 347 valid questionnaires were recovered. The score of ICU nurses disaster preparedness score was 146.32 ± 38.71. located in the middle level. Sex, working years, educational background, disaster relief experience, disaster knowledge and skill training were the main factors influencing the disaster preparedness of ICU nurses (t=-4.190-2.682, P<0.01). Conclusions The level of disaster preparedness degree for ICU nurses was not optimistic. It was necessary to actively formulate and improve targeted training of disaster nursing theory knowledge and disaster nursing skills drills, so as to effectively promote the disaster preparedness of ICU nurses.

BACKGROUND:Increasing autologous stem cellmobilization is conceived to achieve effectively repair of cardiac ischemic injury. Therefore, it is important to seek a specific and effective mobilization agent. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellmobilization in myocardial infarction. METHODS:Left anterior descending artery was ligated to establish a rat model of acute myocardial infarction in 90 outbreeding Sprague-Dawley rats, and then the models were randomly divided into three groups. In HIF-1α-antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) group, HIF-1α-ASODN was infused into the tail vein to restrain the expression of HIF-1αin infarcted ischemic tissue. In HIF-1α-missense oligonucleotide (MSODN) group or control group, an equal volume of HIF-1α-MSODN or saline was injected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 30 hours and 7 days of modeling, the number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the peripheral blood of the control group were similar to the HIF-1α-MSODN group, but significantly higher than the HIF-1α-ASODN group. After 7 days of modeling, the expressions of HIF-1αprotein, vascular endothelial growth factor protein and mRNA in the ischemic myocardial tissues of the control group were similar to the HIF-1α-MSODN group, but significantly higher than the HIF-1α-ASODN group. After 7, 14 and 28 days of modeling, the capil ary density in the ischemic myocardial tissues of the control group was similar to the HIF-1α-MSODN group, but significantly higher than the HIF-1α-ASODN group. These findings indicate that after acute myocardial infarction, high expression of HIF-1αexhibits a causal relationship with mobilization of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, initiating a series of self-healing process of myocardial tissues.
