Objective To explore the psychological feelings of inpatients with AIDS, direct nurses to understand their psychological feelings in order to provide holistic nursing care. Methods Phenomenological method in qualitative research was adopted, 12 inpatients with AIDS were interviewed. Results The emo-tional feelings of inpatients with AIDS concerned mainly about: feeling shocked when they got to know they had affected with AIDS, wanting to commit suicide because of suffering, earnestly demanding for the com-panion of family members, the need for mental supports, planning to go on to work after feeling better be-cause of financial problems, worrying about children at home. Conclusions Nurses should estimate the changes in emotional reactions of inpatients with AIDS properly, understand their life conditions, and help them to promote their life quality by providing holistic nursing care.

Objective To compare the effects of Graves thyrotoxicosis patients treated by long-term use of anti-thyroid drug ( ATD) and without long-term use of ATD ,and to explore the application value and safety of ATD be-fore 131 I treatment.Methods 62 cases with Graves hyperthyroidism were divided into the two groups according to whether received the long-term ATD treatment.The curative effects,hormone level and safety were compared.Results The success rate of ATD group was 43.75%, the success rate of without ATD treatment group was 56.67%, the difference between the two groups had statistical significance (Ridit=15.152,P=0.000).The thyroid mass,FT3, FT4 ,TSH levels after treatment between two groups had no significant differences , but the difference of the highest iodine uptake rate in 24h had significant difference (t =6.954,P<0.05).The adverse reactions in ATD treated group and ATD untreated group were 7 cases(21.88%) and 3 cases(10.00%),there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =4.563,P=0.032).Conclusion Long-term ATD therapy before 131I treatment can reduce the highest iodine uptake rate in 24h,reduce the clinical curative effect and increase adverse reaction rate .

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to detect the immunoexpression of interleukin-21 (IL-21) and receptor activator. of nuclear factor KB ligand (RANKL) in periapical granulomas (PGs) and radicular cysts (RCs). The interaction of IL-21 with RANKL and its role in periapical pathogenesis were also speculated.

METHODSA total of 32 PGs and 23 RCs were selected as experimental samples. Lesion size and occurrence of tenderness were recorded. Up to 10 healthy gingival tissues were collected as normal control samples. All tissues were subjected to immunohistocheincal analysis with anti-human IL-21 and RANKL polyclonal antibodies. The correlations of IL-21 with RANKL, lesion size, and the occurrence of tenderness of the PGs and RCs were evaluated.

RESULTSIL-21-positive cells were detected in all periapical lesion tissues but not in normal tissues. In the cyst group and granuloma group, the corresponding expression levels of IL-21 were 59.92±6.57 and 36.80± 6.81, whereas those of RANKL were 68.81±18.59 and 36.12±14.87, respectively. Moreover, t-test revealed a significantly higher expression of IL-21 and RANKL in RCs than in PGs (P<0.05). IL-21 and RANKL were positively correlated in both PGs and RCs (P<0.05). Furthermore, IL-21 was correlated with lesion size (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrated that IL-21 is potentially involved in the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis lesions. A role in the exacerbation of chronic inflammation, as well as in bone resorption, is suspected. Further studies are required to elucidate the specific functions of IL-21 in periradicular inflammatory processes.

Objective To investigate effect of high glucose on the function of endothelial and the underlying mechanisms in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs).Methods The experiment was divided into 4 groups: normal group (NG), low dose group (LG), middle dose group (MG) and high dose group ( HG) .The concentration of glucose in the culture medium was 5.5, 10, 20, 30 mmol/L in the 4 groups, respectively.The HUVECs was cultured for 0, 24, 48 h.At different time point, the cell viability were measured by MTT.The secretary content of nitric oxide (NO) in the supernatant were detected using test kit.The extraction of protein were extracted for Western blot analysis to detect the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).ResuIts Compared with normal group at same time point (cultured for 24 h), the cell viability and the content of NO were significantly decreased in LG, MG(P<0.05).The expression of eNOS in HG were markedly reduced (P<0.01).Compared with normal group at same time point (cultured for 48 h), the cell viability decreased significantly in HG (P <0.05).The expression of eNOS were markedly decreased 11.91, 25.72 and 34.50% in LG, MG and HG, respectively.A rising trend of cell viability were found in NG, LG and MG, but a descending trend were found in HG within 48 h.ConcIusion The cell viability were significantly affected by high glucose.The endothelial dysfunction induced by high glucose may be associated with the reduction of eNOS and NO production.

Objective To determine serum concentration of methotrexate in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia by HPLC and explore the application practice.Methods The separation was performed in a Wondasil C18-WR column (4.6 mm ×150 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase of methanol-0.15%phosphoric acid solution(21:79 ) and determined at 306 nm.The sample of serum was centrifuged after protein precipitation with perchloric acid.Detected results for children to establish monitoring files.ResuIts The linearity was well at 0.02 ~50 μg/mL of methotrexate ( r =0.9990,n=6).The average recovery was 96.50%, RSD of within day and between days were less than 15%.Established monitoring files for six children and after 3 courses of treatment, the blood concentration of methotrexate in 4 children were small and they were in a safe range , which could reduce the frequency of monitoring.ConcIusion This method is simple, sensitive and accurate for methotrexate detection in serum.The children with stable concentration and within safety range, can reduce monitioring frequency.It could bring the children less pain and relieve the burden of family.
