Objective To explore the effect of continued nursing on postpartum breastfeeding within 6 months. Methods Two hundred and twenty parturient women were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group using random digits table. The control group received breastfeeding knowledge education and nursing skills instruction. The observation group was given continued nursing and breastfeeding guidance . The two groups were compared in terms of breastfeeding rates at 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 months . Result The breastfeeding rates of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group at each time point ( all P < 0 . 05 ) . Conclusion According to reasons why the parturient women don′t breastfeed , they are given continued nursing and detailed solutions after discharge , to make them confident in breast feeding and improving breastfeeding rate within six months after delivery .

BACKGROUND: The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is enhanced in fibroblasts of aging skin; tripterine and ginsenoside Rd possess immunosuppression and anti-aging effects. Arotinoid ethyl ester can used to treat sun-induced aging skin, which accompanied by many side effects, OBJECTIVE: To discuss the regulation role of ginsenoside Rd, celastrol, arotinoid ethyl ester on MMP-1 and MMP-3 of the cultured fibroblasts of the human dermis in vitro. METHODS: The human dermis circumcision by surgical excision on newborn was obtained from Department of Surgery, Luzhou Medical College, and the informed consent obtained from patients. Culture of fibroblasts were as follow: ①No treatment in the normal control group. ②Radiated with 80 kJ/m~2 ultraviolet and treated by 100mg/L8-methoxypsoralen in the positive control group. ③Treated by ultraviolet radiation+8-methoxypsoralen+arotinoid ethyl ester in the arotinoid ethyl ester group. ④Treated by ultraviolet radiation +8-methoxypsoralen+triptolide in the triptolide group. ⑤Treated byultraviolet radiation+8-methoxypsoralen+ginsenoside Rd in the ginsenoside Rdgroup. The triptolide group was divided into 3 groups with doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/L. The ginsenoside Rd group was divided into 3 groups with doses of 20, 50 and 100 mg/L. The immunohistochemistry staining of MMP-1 and MMP-3 of the fibroblasts in each group was observed. RESULTS and CONCLUSION: The expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3 were significantly increased in the positive control group, which had a significant difference to the normal control group (P < 0.05). Compared to the positive control group, the expression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 significantly decreased in the treatment groups (P < 0.05); however, the differences among each treatment groups had no significance (P > 0.05). The results demonstrated that:①Ginsenoside Rd and tripterine exhibit comparably effect on prevent and cure sun-induced aging skin.②The wide ranges of effective concentration lead to little side effect to the body. ③The action mechanisms of ginsenoside Rd, celastrol and arotinoid ethyl ester in preventing and curing sun-induced aging skin is adjusting the expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and the mechanism of allicin on experimental Behcet′s disease (BD) . Methods BD models were established .Then ,model mice were randomly divided into experimental group ,positive control group and negative control group ,with respectively nasogastric infusion allicin ,colchicine and saline respectively .Before and after treatment , the changes of the skin lesions were visually observed .Cytokines of IFN‐γ,TNF‐αand IL‐4 in serum were detected by ELISA anal‐ysis ,while the markers of T‐AOC ,MDA ,SOD and GSH‐PX by chemical colorimetric methods .Results After modeling ,ulcers ap‐peared on the back ,abdomen and genital of model mice with IFN‐γ,TNF‐α,IL‐4 and MDA elevation ,while T‐AOC ,SOD and GSH‐PX decrease .Twenty days of treatment later ,ulcer on mice in the experimental group and positive control group healed .After 30 days ,only two mice in the experimental group recurred ,while 6 mice in the positive control group ,which showed a significant differ‐ence between two groups (P<0 .05) .After treatment ,IFN‐γ,TNF‐αand IL‐4 levels in the experimental group were markedly low‐er than pretreatment (P<0 .01) ,but no significant difference compared with the positive control group (P>0 .05) .Meanwhile ,T‐AOC ,SOD and GSH‐PX levels in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the pretreatment ,but MDA was lower (P<0 .01) .In comparison with the positive control group ,levels of those markers in the experimental group changed remark‐ably (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Allicin is an effective drug in the treatment of experimental BD .The therapeutic mechanism of allicin may be the inhibition of inflammatory mediators and prevention of oxidative stress .

Objective To investigate the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome ( OSAHS) associated with nasal resistance.Methods 30 cases with obstructive sleep apneahypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS ) in the OSAHS group, 30 cases with snoring but without OSAHS in the snoring group and 30 cases with normal group based on polysomnog-raphy were detected the nasal resistance.Results The index of thsnoring index[(42.7 ±27.3),(19.4 ±18.5), AHI(38.7 ±30.2),(5.9 ±1.6)and Resl+r(1.63 ±1.11)Pa· s-1· mL-1,(0.72 ±0.31)Pa· s-1· mL-1] in OSAS group and snoring group were significantly higher than those of the normal group ( t=6.451,7.444,7.698,all P<0.05);The index of lowest oxygen saturation ( SaO2 ) ,Flowl+r in OSAS group and thsnoring group were lower than that in normal group(t=7.551,7.334,all P<0.05);There were significant differences among groups of nasal resistance (t=7.451,8.144,8.608,8.904,all P<0.05);There were positive correlation between nasal resistance and snore index (r=5.658,P<0.01);The index of nasal resistance correlated with AHI index (r=0.002,P>0.05),wake times (r=0.083,P>0.05) and lowest SaO2(r=0.105,P>0.05)were not significantly correlated;The cases with OSAS cephalometric.The results suggest majority snoring symptoms significantly more at supine posi-tion in OSAS.Conclusion Nasal resistance increased,which may be associated with the occurrence in patients with OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between myeloperoxidase(MPO) and ankle brachial index(ABI) in patients with htypehypertension.Methods A total of 133 patients were enrolled in this study,and divided in to htypehypertention group(n=72),non-htypehypertension group(n=30) and normotension group(n=31).Their Hcy,ABI and MPO levels were measured and compared.Results The ABI in htypehypertention group and non-htypehypertension was significantly lower than that in normotension group (P<0.05),ABI in non-htypehypertension group was lower than that of htypehypertonsion group(P<0.05).MPO and CRP in the htypehypertension group was significant higher that those of normotension group(P<0.05).The ABI was negatively related with the serum MPO and CRP levels in htypehypertention group (r=-0.712,-0.722,P<0.05).Conclusion ABI is closely related with MPO,and play an important role in diagnosis of artery function impairment and high risk of htypehypertension patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with breviscapini in treating a-cute exacerbation of elderly chronic pulmonary heart disease and its mechanism.Methods 86 patients with acute exacerbation of elderly chronic pulmonary heart disease in our hospital from October 2011 to June 2013 were randomly divided into two groups. There were no significant differences in age,gender and disease condition between the two groups.44 cases were in the therapy group and the other 42 cases were in the control group.Both two groups received the routine therepy.On this basis the therapy group was added with low molecular weight heparin calcium and breviscapini.Then the improvement of clinical symptoms and the changes of plasma nitric oxide (NO)and endothelin-l (ET-1)after treatment were observed in the two groups.Results The total effective rates in the therapy group and the control group were 90.1%and 71.4% respectively;the levels of plasma NO and ET-1 after treatment in the two groups were significantly improved,but the improvement in the therapy group was better than that in the control group with the statistical difference between them(P <0.05).Conclusion Low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with breviscapini can significantly improve the symptoms in the ederly pulmonary heart disease,decrease the lung arterial press,re-lieve the load of right ventricle and affect the levels of plasma NO and ET-1 with less adverse reactions.
