Objective To study and evaluate the ability of allogeneic bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) to survive and regenerate bone in muscles without using immunosuppressive agents. Methods A complete mismatch between donor BMSCs and recipient rabbit was confirmed by one way mixed lymphocyte reaction assaysprior to implantation. And then bone marrow aspirates were obtained from donor rabbits.BMSCs were isolated from the bone marrow, cultured in conditional medium to be ubdyced to become osteogenic, and then to examine these characteristics. After that the donor BMSCs were transplanted into the recipient rabbits. Immunological tests such as lymphocyte transformation rate and cell mediated cytotoxity, histological observation, seeding cells survival and bone formation were performed following transplantation. Results Allogeneic BMSCs transplantation did not actually elicit an adverse immune response, and bone regenerated at the transplantation area, and then the transplanted BMSCs marked with BRDU preoperatively were founded to be living 8 weeks later after transplantation using immunohistochemistric technique. Conclusion Allogeneic BMSCs would not elicit an adverse immune response in vivo without the immunosuppressive therapy, which could survive and form new bone tissue with the help of BMP-2 in the muscles.

OBJECTIVETo understand the level of hemoglobin (Hb) and determine the risk factors of Hb concentration among the Tibetan pregnant women in rural Lhasa.

METHODSBetween August 2008 and May 2011, a hospital-based study was conducted among 1 530 Tibetan pregnant women after getting their informed consent in agricultural and pastoral areas in maternity clinic or hospital in city, county and township level of Lhasa. Their blood samples were tested and related socio-demographic information was collected. Blood was collected on tip of finger and the Hb concentration was measured using B-Hemoglobin photometer. American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) method was used to adjust the Hb measurements based on altitude for estimating the prevalence of anemia. Anemia was assessed according to WHO criteria. A hemoglobin concentration of less than 110 g/L in a pregnant woman was considered an indication of anemia.

RESULTSFrom August 2008 to May 2011, 1 530 Tibetan pregnant women living at (3 716.4 ± 69.1) m above sea level in rural Lhasa were examined. The findings indicated that average Hb concentration was (122.0 ± 17.5) g/L; the Hb concentration of 1(st), 2(nd) and 3(rd) trimester were (125.5 ± 18.0), (122.5 ± 16.9) and (120.6 ± 17.4) g/L, respectively. The Hb concentration of pregnant women decreased with the increase of gestational age(P < 0.05). Based onCDC method and the adjusted Hb level, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women were 85.6% (1 310/1 530), the prevalence of anemia of 1(st), 2(nd), and 3(rd)rd trimester were 79.5% (206/259) , 86.1% (395/459)and 87.3% (698/800), respectively (P < 0.05) . The rate of moderate and severe anemia were 46.7% (612/1 310) among pregnant women. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that high Hb level was associated significantly with low family income status (β = 2.74, 95%CI:1.73-3.74), no bad habits (drinking or smoking) (β = 7.34, 95%CI:4.87-9.81) and fewer times of pregnancies(β = -1.62, 95%CI:-2.93--0.31) after adjusting for potential confounding factors.

CONCLUSIONHb concentration level in pregnancy was rather low in rural Lhasa. The increase of family income, reduction the intervals of pregnancies and no bad habits might benefit for the improvement of Hb level of pregnant women in this region.

Objective To explore the effect of maternal animal sourced food intake during pregnancy on neonate birth weight and provide scientific basis for guiding the reasonable diet intake in pregnant women and increasing neonate birth weight.Methods Data were derived from a cross-sectional project of "the prevalence and risk factors of birth defects in Shaanxi province",which were conducted in 30 counties in Shaanxi province from July to November in 2013.A stratified multistage random sampling method was used to select women who were pregnant between January 2010 and December 2013 for a random semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire survey to collect the data on the frequency and amount of food consumption on animal protein sources and the data of newborns.Children aged 0-1 years and their mothers were selected as the study subjects.The generalized linear model was used to analyze the relationship between the neonate birth weight and maternal animal sourced food intake during pregnancy,and by using neonate birth weight as dependent variable,food intake frequency as independent variable,three adjustment models were established for stratified analysis.Results Totally 11 459 participants were involved in this study.The average birth weight of newborn was (3 279.9 ± 454.6) g,the average weekly intake of animal sourced foods was 4.00 times for egg,1.50 times for meat,3.00 times for dairy foods,0.50 times for fish and 5.00 times for overall animal sourced foods in pregnant women.Without stratification,three models shown that meat and overall animal sourced food intake had effects on neonate birth weight.After adjustment for gestational weeks,maternal age,social and demographic factors and others,meat intake increased by 1 time a week,the increase of neonate birth weight was about 5.26 (95％ CI:1.32-9.20) g,and the overall animal food increased by 1 times a week,the average neonate birth weight increased by 3.24 (95％ CI:1.09-5.39) g.Stratified analysis showed that meat and overall animal sourced food always had more influences on baby girls and those living in rural area.In the region classification,the overall animal sourced food intake had more influences on women living in northern area and Guanzhong area of Shaanxi,and meat intake had greater influence on women living in southern Shaanxi.And the influences were positive,the more animal sourced foods were taken,the greater the birth weight increased.Conclusion Animal sourced food intake during pregnancy would benefit the increase of neonate birth weight.It suggests that pregnant women should pay more attention to the intake of animal sourced food.

Objective To discuss the influence of the doctor-nurse whole course medical mode on the satisfaction of ICU patients ’ family members.Methods Totals of 200 patients ’ family members were investigated before and after the implementation of the doctor-nurse whole course medical mode.The satisfaction was evaluated before and after the usage of the doctor-nurse whole course medical mode.Results The satisfaction of patients’ family members on nurses before and after the doctor-nurse whole course medical mode was 89.5%and 97.0%, respectively.There was a significant difference (χ2 =8.937,P=0.003).The mean scores of nurses work initiative, nursing technology, service attitude, health education, ward management were (8.43 ±1.30), (8.39 ±1.29), (5.51 ±0.99), (8.26 ±1.64), (5.54 ±1.04) before and (8.94 ± 0.37), (8.85 ±0.70), (5.97 ±0.26), (8.95 ±0.31), (5.95 ±0.31) after the doctor-nurse whole course medical mode.There were significant differences (t=5.336, 4.423, 6.356, 5.847, 5.343, respectively;P<0.01 ) .Conclusions Implementation of the doctor-nurse whole course medical mode can improve the professional quality of nurses and increase the patients’ families satisfaction to nurses job.
