Objective To observe the distribution of dopaminergic neurons in SNpc and to establish standard curve in normal mice so as to measure the changes of dopaminergic neurons in number in SNpc of the mice toxicated with MPTP. Methods Ten male C57BL6 mice aged 8-12 weeks, weight 20-22 g, were randomized to receive 20 mg/kg MPTP or physical saline every 3 h for 4 times, then killed 7 d later. The mouse mesocerebrum was taken out and fixed, frozen, sectioned. All sections containing SNpc were observed under the guide of mouse brain atlas. Every other sections were chosen to stain tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) to show dopaminergic neurons immunohistochemically. The TH positive cells in SNpc were counted in each section and the standard curve was established. Results The standard curve of SNpc compact part position and TH positive cells was established. By comparing the standard curves for the MPTP intoxicated mice and the saline mice, TH positive cells in SNpc from MPTP toxicated mice decreased significantly, which confirmed the validity and feasibility of the standard curve. Conclusion The establishment of standard curve greatly facilitates the comparison of specimen from different groups and makes the assessment of dopaminergic neuron loss more accurate and efficient. The standard curve can serve as an excellent reference curve for the assessment of dopaminergic neurons in SNpc in normal C57BL6 mice.

Objective To discuss and analyze the serum epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B among people in Jinan in order to formulate applicable community nursing measures to control hepatitis B. Methods The serum marker of hepatitis B was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 26756 serum samples by strict operation according to the kit introduction. The data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results The positive rate of HBsAg was 7.39%, among which the positive rate of male was 8.81% and female 5.54%, which was lower than that of the male (P<0.01). The positive rate of people lower than 20 years old was lower than those of above 20 years old. The positive rate of male from 21 to 30 years old was lower than those from 41 to 50 years old (P<0.05). No difference was seen between people with different professionals. Conclusions Vaccine inoculation of hepatitis B for susceptible population combined with community health education about hepatitis B related knowledge and comprehensive nursing intervention proved to be the pivotal measures for the control and prevention of hepatitis B.

Purpose To investigate the relationship between the expression of Syk,VEGF-C and lymph node metastasis in breast carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemical EnVision and SP methods were used to detect the expression of Syk,NFκB(p65)and VEGF-C in 55 cases of breast carcinoma.Results The positive rates of Syk, VEGF-C and NFκB(p65)in 55 cases of breast carcinoma were 50.9%,56.4% and 81.8%,respectively.Lower positive rate of Syk was obtained in the group of positive lymph-node metastasis than that in the group of non-lymph-node metastasis (P<0.05);Higher positive rate of VEGF-C was obtained in the group of positive lymph-node metastasis than that in the group of non-lymph-node metastasis (P<0.05);But no significant differences was found in p65(P>0.75).Higher positive rate of p65 nuclear expression was obtained in the group of positive lymph-node metastasis than that in the group of non-lymph-node metastasis (P＜0.025).The expression of Syk was negatively associated with VEGF-C (r=-0.620,P=0.000);the nuclear expression of p65 was associated with the low expression of Syk(r=0.448,P=0.002)and the high expression of VEGF-C (r=0.310,P=0.036).Conclusions In breast carcinoma, Syk may downregulate the expression of VEGF-C by inhibiting the activation of NFκB, which suppresses the lymph node metastasis of the cancer.

OBJECTIVETo realize the oxidative damage of kidney mitochondrial complex in obese rats induced by high-fat diet and investigate the protective effects of sulforaphane against the damage.

METHODSEighty-eight adult male SD rats were used, after 1 week adaptability feeding, 8 rats were selected as control group and given low-fat diet. The other 80 rats were given high-fat diet. After 2 weeks, the 32 diet-induced obesity models were choosen whose weight gain was higher than 40%. The 32 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, i.e. high fat group, high fat+sulforaphane low dose group, high fat+sulforaphane middle dose group and high fat+sulforaphane high dose group. The rats in the sulforaphane low, middle and high dose groups were orally administered with sulforaphane 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg, all the 4 groups were kept feeding high-fat diet for 5 weeks. All rats were sacrificed and their kidneys were removed to assay the index of oxidative damages.

RESULTSThe content of ROS (0.26 ± 0.04) and MDA((0.87 ± 0.05) U/mg) in the hight-fat group were significantly higher than those in the control group((0.20 ± 0.02),(0.57 ± 0.08) U/mg)(t values were -3.02 and -4.72, P < 0.05). The activity of T-AOC((0.43 ± 0.04) U/mg) and MMP (12.09 ± 1.56) were lower than the control group ((0.48 ± 0.04 U/mg, (16.08 ± 3.12) )(t values were 2.06 and 2.28, P < 0.05). Gavage intervention with sulforaphane, the MDA amount ((0.67 ± 0.05), (0.55 ± 0.05), (0.56 ± 0.07) U/mg) in the sulforaphane low, middle and high dose groups were lower than the hight-fat group ((0.87 ± 0.05) U/mg (t values were 3.65, 5.71 and 5.60. P < 0.05). The activity of T-AOC ((0.49 ± 0.05), (0.55 ± 0.05), (0.54 ± 0.04) U/mg), T-SOD ((61.07 ± 2.79), (55.95 ± 2.39), (60.26 ± 6.02) U/mg) and the level of MMP ((17.17 ± 2.52), (18.24 ± 2.54), (18.21 ± 3.65)) were higher than in the high-fat group ((0.43 ± 0.04) U/mg,(47.22 ± 2.43) U/mg,(12.09 ± 1.56)) (tT-AOC values were -2.36, -4.83 and -4.30; tT-SOD values were -6.37, -4.71 and -5.99; tMMP values were -2.90, -3.52 and -3.50, P < 0.05). The activity of GSH-Px in the sulforaphane low and middle dose groups ((69.12 ± 8.63), (64.43 ± 6.58) U/mg) were higher than those in the high-fat group((53.03 ± 5.70) U/mg)(t values were -3.82 and -2.71, P < 0.05). But there were no significant difference between the high dose group ((60.02 ± 7.05) U/mg) and the high-fat group (t = -1.66, P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONHigh-fat diet can induce the mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction in kidney, and sulforaphane shows protective effect on the kidney mitochondrial complex from oxidative damage in obese rats induced by high-fat diet.

Objective:To investigate the information demand level and its influencing factors of cardiac rehabilitation in patients after PCI, in order to provide scientific basis for doctors and nurses to formulate cardiac rehabilitation intervention strategies.Methods:A total of 146 patients after PCI were investigated with general data questionnaire and Cardiac Rehabilitation Inventory in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from December 2019 to February 2020, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of cardiac rehabilitation information demand.Results:The average scores of each dimension of Cardiac Rehabilitation Inventory after PCI were autonomy, process anxiety and result anxiety from high to low. Multiple linear regression showed that occupational type was a significant predictor of autonomy of patients after PCI, which could explain 4.6% of the variation of autonomy, and autonomy of in-service patients after PCI was higher than that of retirees ( t=2.81, P<0.05). Sex and age were significant predictors of process anxiety of patients after PCI, which could explain the variation of 8.6% of process anxiety. The occupational type, the medical insurance type and whether they had received professional rehabilitation guidance during hospitalization were significant predictors of anxiety after PCI, which could explain the 15.2% variation of anxiety, and the anxiety of in-service patients after PCI was lower than that of retirees ( t=-3.76, P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of cardiac rehabilitation information needs of patients after PCI is worthy of attention. Medical staff can give targeted, personalized and different forms of cardiac rehabilitation in the process of cardiac rehabilitation, and emphasize the implementation of health education and guidance for their cardiac rehabilitation in order to meet their cardiac rehabilitation information needs, improve their autonomy and alleviate their anxiety.
