A molecular template synthetic polymer highly selective for norfloxacinum was prepared by a molecular imprinting technique. The selective binding characteristics of the template polymer was evaluated by Scatchard analysis. The multiple-sites binding model was used to calculate the maximum numher of binding sites and the dissociation constant. The results showed that the template polymer using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer could form two kinds of binding sites. The dissociation constants were estimated to be Kd1 = 2.9 × 10-5mol/L and Kd2 = 3.2 × 10-3 mol/L. The selective binding experiment for substrates indicated that the polymer gave much higher affinity and selectivity for norfloxacin than for acid pipemidic and cefalexin. It is possible to be a good adsorption and binding material in the selective enrichment and determination of trace norfloxacin in complex biosamples.

AIM: To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)/carbon monoxide (CO) system on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury (PIRI) in rabbits. METHODS: Single lung ischemia and reperfusion animal model was used in vivo. The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n=10 in each), control group (C), PIR group (I-R), PIR+ hemin group (H) and PIR+zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) group (Z). Changes of several parameters which included plasma carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) at different time points, wet to dry ratio of lung tissue weight (W/D), the injured alveoli rate (IAR) and the HO-1 enzymatic activity were measured at 180 min after reperfusion in lung tissue. The tissue slides were also stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) for HO-1 to detect the expression of HO-1 in lung and to analyze the optical density. The lung tissue was prepared for electron microscopic observation at 180 min after reperfusion. RESULTS: The plasma content of COHb in I-R, H, and Z group increased in a time-dependent manner after I-R. But the increment of H group was higher than that of I-R group, while that of Z group was lower. The HO-1 activity in lung tissue was highest in H group, followed by IR group, Z group, and C group (P

31 patients with cysticercosis of cerebral ventricles verified by operation or pathological investigation were reported. All patients were between 7 and 64 years of age and 14 were females. All had a single cyst. Since 29 patients (94%) were without a history of intestinal taeniasis, it was proposed that most patients of cysticercosis of cerebral ventricles were caused by hetero-infection and the entrance of Cysticercus into brain ventricle was through choroid plexus along the cerebro-spinal fluid. This is probably the reason why it occurs mostly in the 4th ventricle. The clinical manifestation of cysticercosis of cerebral ventricles were paroxysmal headache and vomiting caused by increased intracranial pressure. Ventricu-lography and CT scanning have considerable diagnostic value. Removal of Cysticercus by surgical operation is successful (Figs. 1 - 8).

To monitor genetic variation of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV),RT-PCR was used to identify a sample suspected of PRRSV infection.A PRRSV named SC-GY strain was obtained,and its Nsp2,ORF5 and ORF3 genes were used for sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree construction.The results showed that SC-GY strain is highly pathogenic PRRSV American variant strains with Nsp2 gene discontinuous deletion of 30 amino acids,ORF3 gene aa17 a serine (S) insert.Comparing to VR2332,CH-1a,JXA1,HUN4,NADC30,HENAN-XINX and SC2012,the Nsp2,ORF5 and ORF3 of SC-GY shared 70.3%-97.9%,82.4%-97.6% and 83.1%-98.2% of nucleotide similarity,and 62.3%-96.3%,78.0%-95.7% and 81.6%-96.5% of deduced amino acid similarity;and compared to LV they shared only 18.9%,60.8% and 63.7% of nucleotide similarity,and 14.0%,54.9% and 57.2% of deduced amino acid similarity.The phylogenetic tree revealed that the SC-GY formed independent small branches although it belonged to the same subgroup as highly pathogenic PRRSV strains.The results showed that in high frequency live vaccine immunization of currently PRRSV,the gene of PRRSV epidemic strain is still in constant variation.Vaccination of live PRRSV vaccines should be reduced and surveillance of PRRSV strains should be enhanced.

Objective To investigate the core competence of nurses in class Ⅲ grade A level hospitals in Xi′an City and its influencing factors so as to provide evidences for managers to enhance the core competence of clinical nurses and promote the quality and safety of nursing.Methods A total of 890 registered nurses from class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Xi′an city were investigated using "the competency inventory for registered nurse scale" (CIRN) from July to September 2015. Statistical software SPSS 19.0 was used to analyze the data. Influencing factors of the core competence of nurses were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. Results The total score of core competences of clinical registered nurses was (159.12±33.21). The dimension with highest score was ethical/legal practice ability with an average score of (3.01±0.64). The dimension with lowest score was critical thinking/scientific research ability with an average score of (2.70±0.67). The scores of nurses from emergency and critical care were higher than those of nurses from general departments in the dimensions including clinical nursing,interpersonal relationship,ethical/legal practice, professional development and critical thinking/research ability. The differences were statistically significant (Z=-3.496, -2.688,-3.727,-2.969,-3.911;P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that technical title, age, department training, and professional qualification were influencing factors of the nurses′ core competence (P<0.05).Conclusions The core competence of registered nurses in class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Xi′an city is at above medium level. The scores of nurses from emergency and critical care are higher than nurses from general departments in several dimensions. Age, technical title, department training and professional qualification are main influencing factors of core competence of nurses. Interventions to improve the core competency of nurses with low grade, low technical title and non-specialist qualification are necessary.
