To identify the advantages of modification treated poly (D, L-lactic and glycolic acid) with poly (ethylene glycol) (PLGA/mPEG, PELGA) block copolymer, blood compatibility was evaluated in vitro. Three different proportional block copolymers (LA/GA80: 20, 70: 30, 50: 50) with 15% mPEG were synthesized. According to the international standard organization (ISO10993) and National Standards of P. R. China GB/T 16886, siliconized glass tube was used as a negative control sample, while non-siliconized glass tube as a positive one. Blood compatibility of PELGA was evaluated by hemolytic ratio analysis, platelet adhesion investigation, dynamic clotting time, plasma recalcification time (PRT) measurements, plasma prothrombin time (PT) and clotting time (CT) test. The results revealed that blood compatibility of the synthesized materials was good. Nanoparticles made by this kind of materials might be promising for intravenous use.

Objective Through the introduction and implementation of the tutor system to explore nursing practice of cultivating and management methods in operating room. Methods The theoretical knowledge,operation ability,comprehensive ability,and quality of work and so on before and after the implementation of tutor system for new nurse training were compared. Results Tutor system has obviously im-proved the comprehensive quality of new nurses,such as the interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to analyze and solve prob-lem independently. Conclusion The tutor system is beneficial to the interaction between teachers and students,thus enhancing the profes-sional identity of the operating room nurses,reducing the loss of the specialized nursing talents,improving the quality of nursing and setting up a new adapted teacher-and-students mode for teaching and training in the operating room. So it is worthy of extending application.

Objective To enhance the management in identifying the surgical sites to comply with national standards.Methods A nurse-physician collaboration management team was set up to investigate the current identification of surgical sites in every operating room which violates regulations,with the causes analyzed and countermeasures proposed.Working hand in hand,doctors and nurses figured out the management details for preoperatively identifying the surgical sites and reengineering of the surgical process.With the responsibilities clarified and training enhanced,the surgeons,anesthesiologists,ward nurses and operating room nurses were held responsible for the process and improvements of identifying the surgical sites.The number of patients with unreasonable identification of surgical sites was calculated before and after establishment of nurse-physician collaboration management team.Results The reasonable identification rates of surgical sites were 37.94% before the reform and 80.94% after;incorrect use of all types of the surgical site identification can be minimized in the reform.Conclusion The management of nurse-physician collaboration is conducive to enhancing the reasonable identification rate of surgical sites,thus improving the quality of care and correctness of operations.

We constructed the AFP promotor, suicide gene and EGFP eukaryotic expression vector recombinant plasmid, and this plasmid DNA was encapsulated by biodegradable, biocompatible polymer PLGA to prepare nanoparticles. The results demonstrate that the mean diameter of DNA-PLGA-NP is 68 nm, the encapsulation ratio reaches to 80%, and the PLGA nanoparticles can protect plasmid DNA from digestion by deoxyribonuclease I (DNaseI) and sonication-induced shearing in vitro.

After the preparation of cationic liposomes composed of DDAB/DOPE, cationic liposome-DNA complexes and lipid-polycation-DNA (LPD) complexes were formulated, respectively. Gel retardation assay was employed to select appropriate ratios of cationic liposomes to DNA of the liposome-DNA complexes. The morphology of LPD and liposome-DNA complexes was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The diameter and surface charge of LPD and liposome-DNA complexes were measured by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). Their transfection efficiencies in Chang cells and HepG2 cells were evaluated by beta-gal assay kit. It was found that LPD and liposome-DNA complexes had a regular spherical surface. However, compared with liposome-DNA complexes, LPD had rather smaller particle size and much higher transfection efficiency in Chang cells and HepG2 cells in vitro. LPD could be prepared easily with small particle sizes and high transfection activities. LPD may be a good non-viral gene delivery vehicle for applications in gene delivery.
