In recent years, according to the etiology and pathology researches of slow transit constipation (STC) STC is considered as a kind of "enteric neuropathy", indicating it is a kind of disease caused by abnormity of the enteric nervous system (ENS). Through reviewing the mechanism of acupuncture to regulate STC, it is found out that there is a close relationship between acupuncture regulating STC and ENS. Through various channels including ganglion cells, nerve plexus, neurotransmitter and TRPV1 (the primary sensory neurons receptor of the ENS) of the ENS, acupuncture is likely to make comprehensive adjustment on STC.

Objective To investigate the status quo of nursing lack in level three first-class hospitals of Zhongshan city,and analyze the relevant reasons.Methods A sample of 765 nurses in 4 tertiary general hospitals completed the modified Missed Nursing Care Survey.Results Assessment,planning,intervention and evaluation were reported to be missed by 9.86％～39.04％,12.05％～44.38％,3.29％～46.85％ and 12.19％～22.05％ of the survey respondents respectively.Reasons for missed care were lack of labor resources(85.48％～93.84％),lack of material resources(80.00％～80.96％),low efficiency of the team (78.08％～86.58％),poor work habits (70.95％～83.84％),and improvement of patients’ needs (88.90％～93.01％).Conclusions Lack of care is widespread,and the degree of lack of each link is different.Reasons lead to the lack of care of nursing staff are higher patients’ demands to nursing work,shortage of nursing staff and unplanned surge of patients’ number.

Objective To observe the effects of fosinopril(FOS),a new generation angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI),on protein and mRNA expression of transforming growth factor-?_1(TGF-?_1) of rat glomerular mesangial cell(GMC) induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS);to demonstrate the preventive mechanism against glomerular sclerosis by applying FOS.Methods The cultured GMC in classic way were divided into 3 groups:control group;LPS group;LPS+FOS group.TGF-?_1 concentration in GMC supernatant fluid was detected by ELISA;TGF-?_1 mRNA expression was determined by semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR.Results LPS group was obviously higher than control groups in TGF-?_1 secretion and mRNA expression,while LPS+FOS group decreased distinctively in TGF-?_1 secretion and mRNA expression compared with LPS group.Conclusions FOS has obviously inhibited on TGF-?_1 expression of rat GMC both at protein level and mRNA level,which reveals that it may be an important mechanism by FOS on restraining the development of glomerulosclerosis.

A total of 61 Strains were isolated from five perennial ryegrass(Lolium perenne L.)varieties——SR4000, CalypsoⅡ, Pinnacle, Topgun and Justus. By subculture, the stable strains were separated into four morphological groups(MGs). Based on the morphological characteristics and the results of AP-PCR, 57 strains of them were identified as Neotyphodium lolii.

With the development of tissue engineering,the bone tissue engineering is developing rapidly. Engineering hone typically uses an artificial extracellular matrix (scaffold),osteoblasts or progenitors,and os- teoinductive factors which promote cell attachment,differentiation,and mineralized bone formation.Highly porous scaffolds play a critical role in cell seeding,proliferation,and new 3D-tissue formation.A variety of biodegradable polymer materials and scaffolding fabrication techniques for engineering bone have been developed over the past decade.This article reviews the scaffold design and fabrication methods tor engineering bone to analyze their ad- vantages and limitations.Various architectural parameters of scaffolds important for bone tissue engineering (e.g. porosity,pore size,interconnectivity) are discussed.
