Objective Through application of clinical pathway in hospitalization patients undergoing uterectomy, we aimed to study the efficacy of clinical pathway in uterectomy patients. Methods 120 patients randomly sampled into the experimental group and the control group with 60 in each. The experimental group received diagnosis, treatment, nursing and rehabilitation according to the clinical pathway table, patients in the control group received routine nursing interventions. The average hospitalization days, medical costs, patient satisfaction degree, disease cognition, first exercise time after operation and medical disputes were compared between the two groups. Results The average hospitalization days and hospitalization costs of the experimental group were obviously lower than those in the control group, patients' satisfaction degree, knowledge of health and first functional exercise time in the experimental group were better than those of the control group, while the medical disputes in the experimental group were obviously de -creased in the experimental group. Conclusions Application of clinical pathway in nursing care for uterectomy patients can effectively decrease hospitalization days, medical costs and disputes. It is also helpful for patients to cooperate with doctors in diagnosis, treatment, nursing, thus increase the satisfaction degree of patients, ensure the reasonable use of medical resources and promote the sustainable improvement of nursing quality.

BACKGROUND: With the understanding of pathology of cervical diseases, cervical curvature has become one of
the important indexes of long-term clinical outcome. To restore and maintain cervical curvature has a profound impact on cervical long-term stabilization and cervical biomechanical environment.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate long-term influence of selective consecutive three-level appliance of intervertebral Solis cage on cervical curvature for spondylotic myelopathy.
METHODS: From June 2008 to December 2010, 22 spondylotic myelopathy patients were treated with
consecutive three-level anterior cervical Solis fusion. There were 14 males, 8 females, with an average age of
45.1 years (ranged from 26-73 years). There were two cases of C2/3/4/5, seven cases of C3/4/5/6, 12 cases of C4/5/6/7, and one case of C5/6/7/T1 , total y 66 intervertebral spaces. Al cases were fol owed up for 2 years.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Average blood loss amount was 40 mL (20-80 mL). Average operation time was 121 minutes (100-175 minutes). After fol ow-up for 30.7 months, al segments were fused. There was no implant migration or vertebral body col apse. Pre-operative JOA score was 11.94±3.61, 15.56±1.13 at 6 months post-operation, and 15.21±1.85 at 2 years after implantation. Pre-operative cervical curvature was (1.86±3.24) mm,(4.83±1.78) mm at 6 months post-operation, and (4.44±3.36) mm at 2 years after implantation. There were significant differences between pre-operative and at 6 months post-operation, pre-operative and at 2 years post-operation (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between 6-month and 2-year post-operation (P > 0.05). Results indicated that selective consecutive three-level appliance of intervertebral cage for spondylotic myelopathy could improve cervical curvature and have long-term favorable clinical outcomes.

Objective To study the changes of corneal sensitivity in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects after phacoemulsification. Methods This trial involved 42 diabetic subjects(42eyes)and 46 nondiabetic subjects(46 eyes)with cataract.All eyes were underwent phacoemulsification.Corneal sensitivities were tested before surgery and 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 month,6 month after surgery.Results The corneal sensitivity of diabetic subjects was greatly reduced at 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 month after surgery(P＜0.05),and returned to the preoperative values at 6 month(P＞0.05).The corneal sensitivity of nondiabetic subjects was reduced at 1 day,1 week,1 month af- ter surgery(P＜0.05),and returned to the preoperative values at 3 month(P＞0.05).The corneal sensitivity of diabetic subjects was lower than nondiabetic subjects before surgery(P＜0.05).The reduced range of corneal sensitivity in diabetic subjects was greater than that of nondiabetic subjects(P＜0.05).Conclusions The corneal sensitivity is decreased and the recovery is postponed after poacoemul- sification in diabetic subjects.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and technical points of anatomical liver resection by trans-Glisson Sheath methylene blue staining in treatment of hepatolithiasis of right posterior lobe.Methods The clinical data of 12 cases of hepatolithiasis of right posterior lobe treated with anatomical liver resection by Glisson sheath methylene blue staining were retrospectively analyzed.Result 6 of 12 patients had undergone more than 2 previous biliary surgeries.All patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan and portography,hepatolithiasis of segment Ⅵ in 4 cases,right posterior lobe in 8 cases,accompanied by left lateral lobe bile duct stones in 2 cases,the right caudate lobe bile duct stones in 1 case.Methylene blue was injected into the portal vein,the methylene blue interface of segment Ⅵ or right posterior lobe displays well.Methylene blue interface was larger than the ischemia interface,which is in accordance with the anatomy.Along the methylene blue interface,hepatic resection was performed including right posterior lobe resection (n =9),segment Ⅵ resection (n =3),and combined with left lateral lobe resection (n =2) and the right caudate lobe resection (n =1).There was no postoperative mortality.Incision infection occurred in 5 cases,4 had right pleural effusion and 2 had a biliary fistula that were treated conservatively.With a mean follow-up period of 3.2 years,all patients are symptoms free and stone free.Conclusions Anatomical liver resection by methylene blue staining is a safe and effective treatment for hepatolithiasis of right posterior lobe.

A rapid, sensitive and convenient LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in human plasma. d2-γ-Aminobutyric acid (d2-GABA) was synthesized as internal standard (IS). After extraction from human plasma by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, all analytes were separated on a Luna HILIC column (100 mm x 3.0 mm, 3 μm) using an isocratic mobile phase of water: acetonitrile: formic acid (20 : 80 : 0.12) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL x min(-1). Acquisition of mass spectrometric data was performed in multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) in positive electrospray ionization using the transitions of m/z 104 --> 69 for GABA and m/z 106 --> 71 for d2-GABA. The method was linear in the concentration range of 5.00 to 1 000 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter-day precisions were within 9.9%, and accuracy ranged from 99.1% to 104%, within the acceptable limit across all concentrations. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of GABA tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers.

Conclusion Probioties intervention could prevent the occurrence of food allergy in animal models by modulating the Th1/Th2 eytokine balance.

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has intensive effects to promote proliferation of gingival fibroblasts (GFs) cultured in vitro and the heeling of gingival wounds. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of bFGF gene transfection on the biological performance of Beagle canine GFs. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observation and comparison in vitro experiment regarding cells was accomplished in Centre of Cell Biology and Development of Fujian Medical University and Department of Comparative Medicine in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from April to September of 2008. MATERIALS: Four beagle dogs, male, 12 months old, weighing 10-13 kg were used in this experiment, plRES2-EGFP-bFGF plasmid containing full-length human bFGF gene cDNA was constructed and conserved by our institution. METHODS: Free gingiva of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th premolars were excised from left upper jaw of Beagle dogs, dnsed with aseptic phosphate buffer four times, then cut into pieces and digested with 2.5 g/L pancreetin for 2 hours at 37 ℃. After the cantrifugation and supernatant removal, DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added to incubate on 6-well plate with coverlips in 5% CO2 incubator at 37 ℃. Logadthrnically growing cells were digested and passaged. GFs were transfected with pIRES2-EGFP-bFGF plasmid using liposome mediated method, while vacant plasmid transfection and un-transfection group served as controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proliferation and apoptosis feature of the GFs were evaluated by M'rE and AOEB, respectively. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was assayed by chemical coledmetry. RESULTS: All of three groups cells entered log phrase on three days after transfection. MTT results showed that the proliferation of GFs transfected with bFGF was greater than cells transfected with vacant vector and untransfected cells (P < 0.05). AO/EB dyeing showed the apoptosis rate of GFs transfected with bFGF was reduced compared with other two groups (P < 0.05). After bGFG gene transfection, the ALP activity remained unchanged and there was no significant difference compared with untransfected cells.CONCLUSION: The transfection of bFGF gene to GFs can promote the proliferation of GFs and depress the apoptosis. No promotion is present with regard to the GFs differentiation.
