Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2008;24(30):15-17
Objective To analyze the correlation of discomfort experience and factual recollection (FR) in patients of intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Fifty-five ICU patients and 63 ward patients par-ticipated in the study. Standardized questionnaires were used to evaluate all patients" FR and the results underwent analysis. Results The prevalence of recollection of any type of discomfort in the ICU patients was 64%. The presence of an endotracheal tube, pain and hallucinations were identified as sources of dis-comfort.The median score for FR in the ICU patients was 7.25. The median score for FR in the ward pa-tients was 13.50. The difference between them was highly significant (t =3.34, P < 0.01 ). Logistic analysis revealed that discomfort, especially discomfort caused by the presence of an endotracheal tube, pain and hallucinations, was positively related to FR, 0R95%CI (1.2~2.1), P < 0.01. Conclusions The presence of an endotracheal tube, pain and hallucinations were most frequently reported as sources of discomfort in ICU patients and their memory was often impaired. FR and recollection of discomfort appear to be related significantly in ICU patients.

OBJECTIVE:To study inhibitory effects of propofol on PC12 cells injury induced by glutamic acid via mitogen-acti-vated protein kinase/extra-cellular regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) signal pathway. METHODS:PC12 cells were randomized into normal control group,model group(10 mmol/L glutamic acid),propofol low-concentrations,medium-concentrations and high-con-centrations groups(12.5,25,50 μmol/L+10 mmol/L glutamic acid). The optical density of cells,cell apoptosis,the phosphoryla-tion of ERK1/2 and the expression of c-fos,Bax,Bcl-2 were detected after treated with relevant medicine for 48 h. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,optical density of cells,the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Bcl-2 decreased in model group (P<0.01);apoptotic rate,the expression of c-fos and Bax increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,optical density of cells,the expression of Bcl-2 and the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 increased in propofol group (P<0.01);apoptosis rate,the ex-pression of c-fos and Bax decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There were statistical significant between the different concentrations (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Propofol can inhibit the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by glutamic acid,which is associated with the up-regulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

Objective To observe the effect of fenofibrate intervention on high-fructose-feeding-induced liver steatosis in rats and explore the possible mechanism. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group ,high fructose group and fenofibrate group[fenofibrate intervention started after 8 weeks of high fructose feeding ,30 mg/(kg · d)]. Rats were sacrificed after 12-week of high fructose feeding. Serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total cholesterol(TC),free triglyceride(TG)and liver TG content were determined;protein levels of fatty acid synthase(FAS),endoplasmic reticulum stress mark-er Bip and autophagy markers such as Atg7,Beclin1,LC3 and the related pathway mTOR in liver tissues were de-tected. Results Compared with those in control group and fenofibrate group,serum AST,serum total cholesterol, blood free TG and hepatic TG were significantly increased in high-fructose group(P < 0.01). The protein expres-sion of Fas,Bip and mTOR were significantly increased in high-fructose group compared with those in control group and fenofibrate group;the protein expression of Atg7,beclin1 and LC3 were significantly decreased in high-fructose group compared with those in control group and fenofibrate group. Conclusions Long-term high-fructose-feeding induces fatty liver and liver cell injury ,and may affect ERS and autophagy. High-fructose-feeding-in-duced fatty liver may be improved by fenofibrate and its underlying mechanism might be associated with Fas,ERS and autophagy in liver.

ive] To observe the effects of Shengjiang Capsule (SC) on gastric evacuation and to study its mechanism. [Methods] Eight-week-old SD rats were randomly allocated to five groups. Group A served as normal control, and Group B were treated with high dosage of SC, Group C with low dosage of SC, Group D with Zhike Baizhu Decotion and Group E with cisapride. After ten days of treatment, gas tric evacuation of rats was detected by isotope tracing method, erythrocyte-acetycholinesterase activity by micro-hydroxylamine method and plasma motilin (Mot) and somatostatin (SS) levels by radioimmunoas-say. [Results] Thirty-minute gastric evacuation rate was (51.44?.38)%, (40.82 + 7.24)% and (40.22?.16)% in Group B, Group C and Group D respectively, which was higher than that in Group A [ (33.18?.32)%]. Erythrocyte-acetycholinesterase activity, Mot and SS levels were (0.856?.128) umol/h, (124.26?5.94) ng/L and (39.42?.96) ng/L, and (0.726?.164 ) umol/h, (119.86 ?9.38) ng/L and (38.33 ?.64) ng/L in Group B and Group C respectively, which were higher than those in Group A [ (0.576 ?.150)/umol/h, (91.28 + 26.84) ng/L and (28.22 ?7.68)ng/L]. [Conclusion] SC can promote gastric evacuation, and its mechanism may be re lated to the increase of the cholinergic nerve function and plasma Mot and SS levels.
