Patients in intensive care unit were more critically ill, and often accompanied by dottiness and restless. In order to avoid the adverse events and self-injury, body constraints were often used on the patients. Therefore, this paper would discuss the ethics of body constraints and give the suggestions. According to the literature review and the analysis of the clinical nursing experience of relevant ethical principles, data was collected. The principle of informed consent, respect, and harmless was hard to decide on the issue of body constraints for patients in ICU. Nurses might pay attention to the application of ethical principles, and strengthen the humanistic care. On the issue of body constraints for ICU patients, nurses might pay special attention to the application of possible ethics principles in nursing process and reduce the application of the body constraints, and promote the physical and mental comfort of patients. It reflected the progress of the humanistic solicitude in the current clinical nursing and important value.

Objective To observe the ultrastructure of pancreas in the bustard( Otis tarda limaells) . Methods Three bustard's pancreas were observed with electron microscope. Results The exocrine secretory units of bustard's pancreas contain a lobulated tubulo acinar gland in which the lobulation is not so distinct as that of the mammalian gland due to the lack of interlobular connective tissue septa.The space between lobular pancreas is lined directly with pancreatic cells as the duct.Single long spindle shaped connective tissue cell could only be seen among three lobules and its cytoplasm becomes slender and stretches into the space between lobules as a distinct intermediate dense line.The exocrine secretory cells can be divided into two kinds of dark and light.In the light cell,particularly in swelled up rER with very little density are filled the greater part of the cytoplasm and made the cell appearance much lighter than other cells.\;The endocrine cells are divided into two types that are dispersed in pancreatic singly and clustered into pancreatic islets.The dispersed endocrine cells contain a lot of moderate dark electron dense granules in their process near basement membrane.There are two types of islets——A islet and B islet in the bustard pancreas.A islets comprise only one cell type with moderate electron density that contains dark endocrine granules.B islet contains two cell types:B and D cell.B cells are the most numerous cells with a long ovoid nucleus and contains two or three types of granules in the cytoplasm.D cells are relatively rare and can be seen in the periphery nearby basement membrane.Cells keep close to each other and desmosomes can be seen within the islet.The endocrine cells closely contact exocrine cells without basement membrane in the periphery partly.Conclusion\ These are some structural characteristics that adapt to fly and that are different from other animal in bustard's pancreas.

Objective: To replace esophageal defects with artificially composed biodegradable materials and non-biodegradable materials. Met hods: A two-layered tube consisting of a collagen-chitosan sponge and an inner polyurethane stent was used to replace 5 cm esophageal segmental defect s in 15 dogs. The inner polyurethane stent was removed endoscopically at weekly intervals from 2 or 4 weeks. Results: Partial regeneration of es ophageal epithelia was observed in 5 dogs at week 2, and progressing constricti on occurred and the dogs became unable to swallow within 1 month. In the 10 dog s that the polyurethane stent was removed at week 4, regenerated esophageal tiss ue successfully replaced the defects, and complete epithelization was observed 1 month after surgery. Complete regeneration of esophageal mucosa structures, inc luding mucosal smooth muscle and mucosal glands were observed 3 months after surgery, and partial regeneration of esophageal muscle tissue was also observed 6 months after surgery. Conclusion: Our artificial prosthesis i n reconstruction of the cervical esophagus segment in dogs is feasible. Through temporary polyurethane tube, collagen-chitosan sponge provides a three-dimensi onal structure suitable for the regeneration and sufficient degradation time for the complete regeneration of esophagus.

Cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility remains the principal theme for biomaterials application in medicine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility of collagen/hydroxyapatite(CHA) composite material in vitro in order to provide useful scientific basis for clinical use. Cellular cultivation in vitro and MTT assay were conducted for evaluating the composite material's influence on the morphology, growth and proliferation of cultured cell(L-929 cell). The hemolysis test was also performed for evaluating the impact on the function and metabolism of erythrocyte. These results demonstrated that the CHA composite material had no cytotoxicity and no hemolytic effect, and it might not be harmful to the morphology of the L-929 cell. The growth and proliferation of the L-929 cell could not be inhibited significantly. The cytotoxicity score of the composite material was grade 0. The hemolysis rate was 1.85%. In conclusion, collagen/hydroxyapatite (CHA) composite material might have good cytocompatibility and be safe for clinical use.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum interleukin (IL) and liver pathological changes in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). MethodsA total of 59 patients with CHB who were treated in Putuo District Central Hospital of Shanghai from February 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled as subjects, and liver biopsy was performed for all patients. According to the degree of liver inflammation, the patients were divided into mild inflammation (G1-G2) group and severe inflammation (G3-G4) group, and according to the degree of liver fibrosis, the patients were divided into mild fibrosis (S0-S2) group and severe fibrosis (S3-S4) group. Serum liver function parameters, blood lipids, interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were measured for all patients. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A Spearman correlation analysis was also performed. ResultsThe degree of liver fibrosis increased with the increase in liver inflammation (rs=0.538, P<0.001). Compared with the mild inflammation group, the severe inflammation group had significantly higher serum levels of alanine aminotransferase [95.00 (45.00-16925) U/L vs 51.00 (29.00-88.00) U/L, Z=-2.625, P=0.009], aspartate aminotransferase [54.50 (34.75-84.50) U/L vs 38.00 (30.00-49.00) U/L, Z=-2.014, P=0.044], and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase [91.00 (56.72-192.25) U/L vs 44.00 (24.00-100.00) U/L, Z=-2.400, P=0.016]. The severe fibrosis group had a significantly higher serum level of high-density lipoprotein than the mild fibrosis group [0.97 (0.32-1.08) mmol/L vs 1.23 (0.36-1.38) mmol/L, Z=-1.300, P=0.008]. The severe inflammation group had a significantly higher serum level of IL-2 receptor than the mild inflammation group [704.00(418.00-103800) U/ml vs 436.00(335.00-555.00) U/ml, Z=-3.405, P=0.001], and the severe fibrosis group had a significantly higher serum level of IL-2 receptor than the mild fibrosis group [735.00(523.00-890.50) U/ml vs 447.00 (351.50-624.50) U/ml, Z=-5.358, P=0.001]. ConclusionThe degree of liver inflammation is positively correlated with that of liver fibrosis, while the serum level of IL-2 receptor increases with the increase in the degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis, indicating that IL-2 receptor can reflect the degrees of liver inflammation and fibrosis to some extent.
