Objective To observe dynamic responsive regularity of specific IgM and IgG antibodies in SARS patients. Methods 145 specimens of plasma from 25 cases of clinically diagnosed SARS patients were examined in the study. ELISA was employed to detect IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS coronaviral antigens. Nested RT-PCR was used to qualitatively determine SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Results 49.0% (71/145) and 54.5% (79/145) of the samples were positive for IgM and IgG antibodies, respectively. Both antibodies were found to be detected in 84.0% of the patients. The antibodies were found to be detectable from the 2nd to 4th week after the onset of disease in most patients, and there was a fendeney of sising in positive rate until the 5th week after the onset. Thereafter, the detectable rate of IgM antibody began to decline, while that of IgG antibody remained to rise. Positive rate for serum SARS-CoV was 15.8% (18/114) for all samples or 40.0% (10/25) of patients. Most virus-positive samples were those which were collected within 4 weeks after disease onset. Conclusions Anti-SARS-CoV IgM/IgG antibody and detection of virus in plasma could serve as practical diagnostic indicators for SARS. In most cases, when the serum was pasitive for antibody the serum virus positive rate would soon declined. However, concomitant existence of antibody and viral sequence in plasma was observed in a few patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL) for impacted upper ureteric calculi.Methods Retro-urethral catheterization was conducted in the diseased ureter under cyctoscope.After a channel from the skin surface into the middle calyx was established under the guidance of X-ray or B ultrasonography,pneumatic lithotripsy was conducted to break up stones under ureteroscopy.Results The success rate of pneumatic lithotripsy was 100%.The rate of postoperative macroscopic hematuria was 55.1%(27/49).The symptom lasted one to three days in 26 cases,and 1 case had apparent hematuria with blood clot flowing out from nephrostomy tube,which lasted 8 days.10.2%(5/49) of cases was complicated with postoperative pyrexia.The stone-free rate in one week and one month postoperatively was 93.9%(46/49) 98.0%(48/49),respectively.Follow-up observations in 49 cases for 1-12 months(mean,5 months) showed no major complications.Conclusions MPCNL for impacted upper ureteral calculi has the advantages of simple performance,less complications and satisfactory efficacy.

Objective To study the growth effect of human cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 treated by norcantharidin (NCTD) and preliminary illustrate the potential mechanism.Methods The human cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 was detected by MTT assay,flow cytometry,immunocytochemistry after the treatment of NCTD in vitro.Results NCTD displayed inhibitory effect on growth of QBC939 from different doses of 0.125,0.75,2.5,10,120 μg/ml after 48 h (P ＜0.05).It was in a dose and time dependent manner.Dose-effect curve was drawn and IC50 value was (3.66±1.14) μg/ml.The flow cytometric profiles showed that the rate of cell apoptosis enhanced following increasing the concentration of NCTD[(8.6±0.4) ％,(17.6±0.3) ％,(22.9±0.4) ％,(25.5±0.9) ％ and (31.1±1.5) ％,respectively]and cells blocked in the G2/M phase after treatment with 2.5 μg/ml NCTD[(14.1±1.0) ％ and (5.7±0.3) ％].The expression of the protein caspase-3 elevated after different concentrations of NCTD co-cultured with QBC939 compare with contrast group.Conclusion NCTD has an inhibitory effect on proliferation of QBC939 cell line,and the mechanism might be related to the induction of cell apoptosis and blockade of cell cycle.

Objective To evaluate the charateristics of biliary stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT) by ultrasound. Methods Diametes,thickness,characteristic echo of bile were observed by ultrasound in 41 patients with biliary stricture after OLT,and the results were compared with those of 46 patients without biliary complication after OLT.Results The diameter of intrahepatic bile,thickness of bile,incidence of intrahepatic bile dilation or hyperechogenicity in biliary stricture patiens were higher than those in patients without biliary complication,there were significant differences between two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusions The series of ultrasonographic character such as bile dilation,thickeness or hyperechogenicity of biliary wall,thin of bile duct are available to diagnose biliary stricture.

This article analyzed the types and causes of clinical research misconduct including the definition and background.We then set up the research management system to control and prevent such misconduct behavior.Our strategy includes using various technical tools to actively carry out clinical research integrity related education and training program,establishing integrated control model,and clinical research misconduct handling mechanism to jointly cope with the problems,to promote a good atmosphere for clinical research and to establish the integrity of the research.Our goal is to promote the medical technology development and to improve the patient care.

Specialization development of nursing has increasing demand for nursing staff. Competency model is a professional way for the person-post matching, which may replace the job analysis as a new research direction in nursing human resource management. In this paper, the validation and application of nursing competency model were reviewed from the perspectives of competency model, to discuss the thought and method of verifying competency model, so as to lay the foundation for the clinical application of nursing competency model, and promote the rapid development of nursing.

Objective To discuss the nursing cooperation for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are receiving transcatheter aortic valve replacement using balloon-expandable aortic valve stent. Methods Percutaneous interventional transcatheter aortic valve replacement was employed in 9 patients with severe aortic stenosis. Active preoperative preparation, sufficient psychological care, close observation of vital signs and effective surgery cooperation during the operation were carried out. The clinical results were analyzed. Results Successful operation was accomplished in all the nine patients. After the surgery, all patients were in good condition, and no nursing-related complications occurred. Conclusion Correct understanding of the cooperation with the procedure of transcatheter aortic valve replacement using balloon-expandable aortic valve stent, excellent preoperative psychological care and active preoperative preparation, etc. are the most important things to ensure a successful surgery.
