Objective Establishing community nursing intervention to improve treatment compliance of senior patients taking and quit bad lifestyle so as to enhance quality of life. Methods We selected 180 senior patients who received the questionnaires concerning treatment compliance and the assessment of nursing satisfaction before and after our nursing intervention. Treatment compliance and the assessment of nursing satisfaction were compared. Results After the implementation of community nursing intervention, the senior patients could take medicines punctually and check up regularly. They could also know to control their emotion, take healthy diet, quit cigarette and alcohol and take adequate exercise according to our instruction. Meanwhile, the patients had higher level nursing satisfaction after the intervention. The comparison had statistical significance (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion Community nursing intervention could change and improve treatment compliance of senior patients actively. As a result, both the patients' quality of life and our nursing satisfaction were improved.

Objective To establish a BALB/c mouse model of total hysterectomy and to investigate and analyze its characteristics and formation mechanism. Methods The control group was fed conventionally without any treatment. The mice in the model group were anesthetized and performed hysterectomy. The animals in the sham-operated group had abdominal cavity opened and only exposing the uterus. The changes of body weight were observed dynamically,and at the end of the fourth weeks. The concentration of serum estradiol was determined and histological structure of the ovaries was examined. Results The general status of all the mice after operation was good without obvious inflammation, and the incision healed completely. There was no significant difference in the body weight before operation among the mice, whereas the weight of model group mice was higher than the control group and sham-operation group at the end of the second,third and forth weeks(P< 0.05). The estradiol contents of the model group was significantly lower than that in control group and sham operation group(P< 0.01). The histological structure of ovaries in the control group and sham-operation group was normal,however the model group showed differences,such as irregular shape of the ovaries,changed number of mature follicles, loosely distributed granulosa cells, and apoptosis. Conclusions The mouse model of total hysterectomy established in our study can well simulate the clinical manifestations of ovarian dysfunction after operation, and is an ideal model for the study of complications after ovariectomy and screening of drugs.

Urea transporters (UT) play a vital role in the mechanism of urine concentration and are recognized as novel targets for the development of salt-sparing diuretics. Thus, UT inhibitors are promising for development as novel diuretics. In the present study, a novel UT inhibitor with a diarylamide scaffold was discovered by high-throughput screening. Optimization of the inhibitor led to the identification of a promising preclinical candidate,
