Objective To evaluate the efficacy and side-effects of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (Mirena) in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding .Methods 45 cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding diagnosed by pathology were installed with Mirena.The endometrial thickness by ultrasound hemoglobulin increase and pathologic changes of endometria were recorded before and 24 months after the installation.ResultsThe endometrial thickness before and after the insertion of Mirena were(15.6 ±4.2) mm and (3.2 ± 1.3)mmrespectively (P ＜ 0.01) .Six months after the insertion of Mirena, patients' hemoglobulin was significantly increased from (97.6 ± 8.2)g/L to (123.7 ± 8.1)g/L (U = 2.26, P ＜ 0.05) .After the installation of Mirena, patient experienced metrorrhagia.Conclusions Mirena is a device providing effective and continual therapy for dysfunctional uterine bleeding .It can not only significantly reduce the menstrual blood loss but also reverse the complex hyperplasia effectively.

Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with resveratrol for 12 weeks.Compared with group of diabetic rats without treatment,the levels of urine albumin,serum creatinine,and blood urea nitrogen were significantly decreased and pathological changes in kidney were improved in treatment group ( P＜0.05 ).The mRNA expressions of FoxO1 and catalase were higher and FoxO1 phosphorylation level in diabetic rats treated with resveratrol was lower than that in diabetic rats without treatment (P＜0.05),suggesting that resveratrol may protect the kidneys of diabetic rats via regulating expression of FoxO1.

Objective To improve the treatment of abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism in hemodialysis patients, and observe its influence on the quality of life. Methods Implemented the kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) clinical practice guidelines for bone metabolism and disease in hemodialysis patients, improved the treatment of abnormal calcium-phesphoms metabolism in hemodialysis patients. After 1 year, the values were compared between before and after application of K/DOQI guidelines, including albumin-adjusted serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium × phosphorus (Ca × P) product, and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and their achieved target range rates. The quality of life were evaluated by using the kidney disease questionnaire (KDQ). Results One year later, the levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, Ca × P product, and iPTH were all decreased (P<0.01 or <0.05) compared with before the application of K/DOQI guidelines. The percentage of patients fell within the guideline range were as follows: 74.42% (32/43), calcium; 62.79%(27/43), phosphorus; 55.81%(24/43), Ca × P product; 60.47%(26/43), iPTH; 25.58%(11/43), all four criteria, higher than before (P<0.01 or <0.05). The scores of KDQ in global indices and symptom scores of physical symptoms, fatigue, depression, relationships with others and frustration dimension were also all increased (P<0.01). Conclusion The state of calcium-phospberns metabolism in hemodialysis patients is improved, the quality of life is also enhanced.

Objective:To investigate biomechanical changes of mandible in the impact injure simulated by finite element method (FEM).Methods:Mimics and Comsol software were used to build a FEM of human craniofacial bone based on CT scan data of a normal adult.LS-DYNA and Hypermesh software were used to simulate the impact with different quality,velocity and angulation pro-duced injures of human mandible,the biomechanical parameters of the mandible in the impact injury process were analysed.Results:A FEMof human maxillofacial bone was established,and the dynamic process of different impact force produced damage was simula-ted.Mandibular chin,angle and condylar neck was the stress concentrated area in the process of mandible injury.There was higher stress peak at the site which was closer to the impact position,the stress peak arrival time was also earlier.When the impactor with the same quality,the bigger the velocity,the greater the stress peak.When the impactor with the same velocity,the bigger the quali-ty,the greater the stress peak.When the impactor with the same velocity and quality,there was greater stress peak under the impact to mandible from angulation of 0 degree.Stress transfered to the surrounding bone from the impact position radially and gradually re-duced.The bone area with small cross-section was prone to high stress and more serious damage.Conclusion:The quality,the ve-locity,the impact angle and the impact site are the factors affecting the severity of impact injury.

Objective To introduce an effective nursing practice for patients with Grave's ophthalmopathy(GO) undergoing endoscopic trans-ethmoid orbital decompression(ETOD). Methods The treatment and nursing experience of 31 cases (57 eyes) undergoing orbital decompression through endoscopic trans-ethmoid approach were reviewed and analyzed. Results Three months after operation, exophthalmos was corrected in all 31 cases (57 eyes) with satisfying result, and the visual acuity was improved in all 9 cases (16 eyes),who complained of visual loss preoperatively. At the 3-months' review, 2 patients presented diplopia on the primary eye position due to newly on-set global displacement. Conclusions Advanced treatment and careful nursing are very important to improve the surgical safety and decrease the complications.

Objective To investigate perceptions of patient safety culture(PSC) among nurses in tertiary hospitals in Kunming. Methods Totally 2629 nurses were recruited by convenience sampling method from 7 tertiary hospi-tals in Kunming between July 2015 to January 2016. Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS) was used to assess PSC. Results The top three superior dimensions of PSC were Organizational Learning-Continuous Im-provement(86.60%),Teamwork within Hospital Units(83.34%) and Feedback and Communication about Error(75.98%). The last three inferior dimensions of PSC wereNonpunitive response to error(23.74%),Staffing(33.71%) and Teamwork across hospital units(49.45%). There were significant differences in certain items among nurses with different educational level,academic title,working hour per week(P<0.05). Conclusion Establishing nonpunitive re-sponse culture,reasonably arranging staffing and working hours,and encouraging nurses with high educational level and title to play their full role,are critical measures to improve patient safety culture in hospital.

Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-GalNAc : polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransfemse (ppGalNAcT) catalyzes the initial step in mucin type O-glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus. Here generation and characterization of a polyclonal antibody to human ppGalNAcT2 were described. The subcellular location of ppGalNAeT2 in SGC7901 cell line was investigated using Western blot analysis of fractionated cell extracts and confocal microscopy with this antibody and two Golgi markers: Golgi SNARE (soluble N-ethylmalemide-sensifive factor attachment protein receptor) of 28 ku (GS28) and trans-Golgi network (TGN) 38, markers for the c/s- and trans-Golgi apparatus, respectively. Morphometric analyses indicated that ～60% of the ppGalNAcT2 signal colocalized with the GS28, while～36% of the c/s-Golgi marker colocalized with the ppGalNAeT2. Approximately 34% of the ppGalNAcT2 signal colocalized with the TGN38, whereas 38% of the trans-Golgi marker colocalized with the ppGalNAcT2. The results provide unequivocal evidence for the location ofppGalNAcT2 within the Golgi apparatus, and further highlight the importance of this organelle in the initiation of O-linked glycosylation.

Objective To study the effects of dammarane sapogenins ( DS-1226 ) on sleep interruption-induced learning and memory impairment in mice.Methods 130 SPF healthy 5 -6-week old male ICR mice were randomly divided into control, model, DS-1226 low dose, DS-1226 medium dose and DS-1226 high dose groups.The behavioral alterations in open field (OF), Morris water maze (MWM) and step-through (ST) tests were detected at 15 days after rotating drum-induced sleep interruption ( SI) .Results The total distance, movement speed, total duration of movement were increased in OF test ( P<0.05, vs.the model group) after treatment.The latency of place navigation was increased from day 5 in the MWM test after 15 d sleep interruption, and the number of crossing in the target quadrant and the percent distance in target quadrant were decreased after 15 d sleep interruption ( P <0.05, vs.the control group), while the latency of place navigation was decreased, and the percent distance in target quadrant and percent time in target quadrant after high dose DS-1226 oral administration ( P<0.05, vs.the model group) were increased.Error times, distance in dark chamber, time in dark chamber and immobility time in dark chamber were increased in training of step through test ( P<0.05, vs.the control group);while these indexes were decreased after DS-1226 oral administration ( P<0.05, vs.the model group) .But there was no significant difference in the step through testing course.Conclusions The results show that orally administrated DS-1226 can ameliorate SI-induced learning and memory impairment, and there is a significant dosage-effect relationship.

To investigate the high-risk factors for newborn hearing loss and to provide information for preventing the development of hearing loss and delaying its progression, from May 2003 to June 2006, neonates who failed to pass the universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) were referred to Jinan Newborn Hearing Screening and Rehabilitation Center from 7 newborn hearing screening centers in seven cities of Shandong province. One-to-one pair-matched case-control method was employed for statistical analysis of the basic features of definitely identified cases. High-risk factors relating to the bilateral hearing loss were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Our results revealed that 721 transferred newborns who didn't pass the hearing screening received audiological and medical evaluation and 367 were confirmed to have hearing loss. Of them, 177 neonates with hearing loss who met the matching requirements were included in the study as subjects. Univariate analysis showed that high-risk factors related to hearing loss incuded age of father, education backgrounds of parents, parity, birth weight, gestational weeks, craniofacial deformity, history of receiving treatment in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), neonatal disease, family history of otopathy and family history of congenital hearing loss. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that 4 independent risk factors were related to bilateral hearing loss, including parity (OR=16.285, 95% CI 3.379-78.481), neonatal disease (OR=34.968, 95% CI 2.720-449.534), family history of congenital hearing loss (OR=69.488, 95% CI 4.417-1093.300) and birth weight (OR=0.241, 95% CI 0.090-0.648). It is concluded that parity, neonatal disease and family history of hearing loss are the promoting factors of bilateral hearing loss in neonates and appropriate intervention measures should be taken to deal with the risk factors.
