Objective To explore the protective effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) injury. Method Isolated and cultured rat eardiomyocytes were subjected to 2-hour hypoxia followed by 1 hour reoxygenation to establish model of HR injury. Cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham group, HR group, HR + EPO-treated group (EPO 10 U/ml), and HR + EPO + UO126-treated group (U0126 10?mol/L). The concentration of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in culture medium was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer; viability of eardiomyocytes was measured by MTT assay; apoptosis ratio was determined by TUNEL technology and Annexin-V-FITC with flow cytometer (FCM); level of extracellular signal- regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK_(1/2)) and phospho-ERK_(1/2) were measured by Western-blot analysis. Results EPO significantly decreased the leakage of LDH, enhanced activity, reduced apoptosis ratio, and increased level of phospho-ERK_(1/2).However, the effects were blocked by U0126, an inhibitor of MAPK. Conclusions EPO has the protective effects on cardiomyocytes against HR injury possibly via the mechanism of activation of ERK_(1/2) and inhibition of apoptosis.

Objective:
Investigate the pulmonary surfactant autotransfusion effect on the recovery of respiratory function in patients with whole lung lavage, to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application.
Methods:
We taken 30 patients of pneumoconiosis treated by whole lung lavage as the subjects. We extracted the pulmonary surfactant from lavage fluid, after single postoperative lung lavage for the first time; after one weeks when the second times of lung lavage were performed to the other side of the lung of patients, we put PS into the right side. We taken the patients the second times of lung lavage who were put PS into the right side as returning group, the first times of lung lavage who were not put PS into as on returning group. We observed indi-cators, such as expiratory resistance, respiratory work, lung compliance, airway pressure, PO2, the pulmonary function recovery time and other indicators, comparing with the changes of pulmonary function before lung la-vage for the first time and at 0、60、90、120 min after the pulmonary surfactant autotransfusion.
Results:
Com-pared with the no returning group, the expiratory resistance of the returning group decreased significantly at 90 min、120 min after the pulmonary surfactant autotransfusion; the respiratory work and airway pressure of the re-turning group decreased significantly at 60、90、120 min after the pulmonary surfactant autotransfusion, there was statistically significant in the difference between different groups (

【Objective】 To explore the promote and deter factors of blood donation among street blood donors in Nanjing, in order to improve the accuracy of street blood donors recruitment. 【Methods】 A questionnaire with high confidence was designed based on the theory of planned behavior(TPB). The multi-stage hierarchical sampling method was adopted according to the geographical location and economic development level of 11 districts(regions) in Nanjing, and the street blood donors were divided into three groups according to the history of blood donation: one donation(n=361), donation numbers ≥ 2(n=417)and non-donation (n=241). The blood donation behavior was investigated from four aspects as external promote factors (such as seeking a free blood examination, self-interest factors, etc.), internal promote factors(such as altruistic, self-interest factors, blood donation can help others, etc.), external deter factors (too busy to donate blood, opposition from my family, etc.) and internal deter actors ( worry about dizziness after blood donation, fear of needles, ect.). The database was established using Epidata software, and chi-square test was applied for statistical analysis between groups. 【Results】 The groups mainly affected by the promote factors (altruistic and self-interest factors) of Nanjing street population in blood donation were unmarried, 18~24 years old, childless, below bachelor degree, and have barely no income. The main groups less affected by the deter factors were students, male, unmarried, 18~24 years old, childless and have barely no income.Promote factors increases with the number of blood donations, while deter factors decreases with the number of blood donation. 【Conclusion】 TBP can better analyze and explain the promote and deter factors affecting blood donation behavior among street blood donors in Nanjing, which is helpful for blood stations to formulate targeted measures to improve the availability of street blood donors.
