As the development of fast-tracking, the patient perception of readiness for hospital discharge is becoming more and more popular in discharge decision making. A lot of research indicates that the patient readiness of discharge can predict the satisfaction, the safety, readmission, death and compliance of the patients. This study is about to review the conception, research significances, measurements, and determinants of the discharge readiness. The primary objective was to analyze the determinants of hospital discharge, according to three aspects of patient factors, hospital factors and social support. This study is expected to offer theoretical support for the improvement of discharge readiness.

Objective To investigate the effects of shiga toxin ( Stx ) phage on the expression of type Ⅲsecretion system (T3SS) in E.coli O157 ∶H7.Methods A standard E.coli O157 ∶H7 strain, EDL933 and a natural Stx phage defective mutant of EDL 933 strain, TUV93-0 were used for this study .The expression of T3SS proteins was compared between EDL 933 and TUV93-0 strains.The expression of five operons ( LEE1-LEE5 ) was evaluated by measuring the green fluorescent protein ( GFP ) in five different plasmids with LEE1-LEE5 promoters, respectively.Results The expression of T3SS proteins in TUV93-0 mutant were significantly increased than those in EDL 933 strain.Moreover, the expression of LEE1, LEE2 and LEE5 were also increased in TUV93-0 mutant.Conclusion The deletion of Stx phage might enhance T3SS expression through the regulation of LEE 1.

Objective To study the clinical application effect of Xuebijing Injection in the treatment of capillary leak syndrome.Methods One hundred patients with capillary leak syndrome in our hospital from January 2013 to April 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and observation group according to the ID number of admission.The two groups were given the Western medicine routine therapy of capillary leak syndrome.The observation group was simultaneously given Xuebijing Injection.The APACHE II score,Mashall score and hemodynamics were compared between the two groups.The disease condition change was dynamically observed.Results The APACHE II score and Mashall score before and after treatment in the observation group were significantly suprior to those in the control group(P<0.05);the peripheral blood circulating endothelial cells (CEC) number at admission in the two groups were higher than the normal level,the CEC content after taking the treatment was gradually decreased (P<0.05),but the CEC content decrease in the observation group was less than that of the control group (P<0.01);were observed before and after the treatment group APACHE II and Mashall score was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05);but the CEC content in the observation group was significnatly superior to the control group(P<0.01);the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),TNF alpha and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Using Xuebijing Injection in treating capillary leak syndrome can effectively protect the vascular endothelial cells,improves the living quality of patients and can be popularized and applied in clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effects of TAT-heme oxygenase-1 (TAT-HO-1) fusion protein on liver injury in rats undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods Adult male Lewis (inbred) rats (aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 180-230 g) were used as donors and Brown Norway rats (aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 180-230 g) as recipients.The recipient rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:OLT group and TAT-HO-1 group.The livers were harvested according to the method described by Kamada.In OLT group,the donor livers were flushed and preserved with 4 ℃ HTK solution,while the livers were flushed and preserved for 6 h with 4 ℃ HTK solution containing TAT-HO-1 50 μg/ml in group P.Blood samples were obtained at 7 days after transplantation for measurement of activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in serum.Hepatic specimens were obtained at 7 days after transplantation and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for examination under light microscope.Rejection activity index was calculated according to Banff criteria.The contents of transforming growth factor-beta 1 and interleukin-6 in liver tissues were determined using ELISA.Kupffer cells were isolated and cultured for 48 h to determine the levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1 and interleukin-6 in culture medium.Results Activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in serum,rejection activity index and levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1 and interleukin-6 in liver tissues and culture medium of Kupffer cells were significantly decreased,and the pathological changes of livers were mitigated in group TAT-HO-1 as compared to group OLT.Conclusion TAT-HO-1 fusion protein applied during cold storage of donor livers can attenuate liver injury in rats undergoing OLT.

The structure, karyotype and behavior of synaptonemal complex (SC) in the spermatocytes of hedgehog (Erinaceus euroaaus dealbatus (insectivora)) were analyzed by light and electron microscopy with a modified surface spread preparation which involves the use of sodium dodecyl-sulphate (SDS) and silver staining. The lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex have a constant width of about 50 nm, the distance between the two lateral elements is about 100 nm. The relative length and arm rationale constant for each autosomal SC. The relative length and arm ratio constant for ea of the autosomal SCs are very similar to that of mitotic autosome.The X and Y chromosome axes have a clear morphological distinction from the autosomal SC. The axes of X and Y chromosome pair and form a SC of certain length at pachytene stage. The axes of unpaired X and Y chromosome are heteropycnotic and display various morphological complexities. But these differentiations in hedgehog are primary than in other mammalians, such as human and mice. At pachytene stage the X and Y chromosome display an extensive side-by-side pairing segment with decreasing length as meiotic prophase progressed.
