Objective To investigate the role of syntaxin 4(STX4)in endoplasmic reticulum(ER)-mitochondria corcinoma in ovarian cancer(OC)cells.Methods The differences in STX4 expression in the OC cell line SKOV-3 and normal ovarian epithe-lial cells HOSEpiC were analyzed by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).SKOV-3 cell lines with stable knockdown of STX4 were constructed by lentiviral transfected cells,and the knockdown efficiency was verified by Western blot and qRT-PCR.The wound healing assay examined the changes in SKOV-3 migratory ability after STX4 knockdown,the Transwell assay examined the changes in SKOV-3 invasive ability after STX4 knockdown.The ER-mito-chondrial contact structure changes in SKOV-3 cells were visualized by transmission electron microscopy.Intracellular phospha-tidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/AKT/mTOR)pathway proteins and their phosphor-ylated proteins were measured at the protein level.Results Both Western blot and qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of STX4 was significantly higher in SKOV-3 cells than in HOSEpiC cells,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.86,9.27,all P<0.05).The knockdown efficiency was verified by Western blot and qRT-PCR.Subsequently,the results of the wound-healing assay indicated that the migratory ability of SKOV-3 cells was significantly inhibited upon STX4 knockdown.The results of the Transwell test showed that the invasive capacity of SKOV-3 cells was significantly reduced after STX4 knock-down(t=7.56,8.82,all P<0.05).Endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial contact structure was reduced in SKOV-3 cells with STX4 knockdown under TEM.Finally,no significant changes after STX4 knockdown in the overall levels of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway proteins in SKOV-3 cells(t=2.77,5.58,2.99,all P>0.05),but their phosphorylated proteins were significantlydecreased(t=4.42,5.01,5.58,all P>0.05).Conclusion STX4 promoted OC cell migration,invasion,and the formation of ER-mitochondrial contact structures through the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway through phosphorylation.

Objective To investigate the application effects of the new restraint tools in the critical patient care. Methods A total of 354 critical patients were averagely divided into observation group and control group according to the order number with random number table. The patients in the control group were routinely used ordinary restraint belt with restraint upper limbs or limbs, while the patients underwent the new restraint tools and implemented personalized restraint that emphasize personalized and humanized on restraint of method, site, time and tools selecting. Results In the observation group, binding site skin abnormalities ( swelling, bruising or injury), unplanned extubation rates were lower than these of the control group (P <0. 05). Conclusions Personalized application of the new restraint tool can reduce restraint adverse events, ensure patient safety and improve effectiveness of care and safety management.

Objective To investigate the effect of restriction decision wheel and grade ICU patients with critical consciousness disorder. Methods Two hundred and fifty four patients in ICU with critical consciousness disorder from July to December 2012, who were intubated and constrained with their limbs due to the risk of unexpected extubation, were divided into the control group (n=125) and the experiment group (n=129), according to registration sequence. The former were constrained to their limbs after evaluation referring to the constraint nursing form and the latter was constrained by using the constraint decision-making wheel and grade. The two groups were compared in terms of restraint rate, unplanned extubation rate, and incidence of skin abnormality. Results The restraint rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). There was no incidence of abnormal skin in the two groups. There was no significance in the rate of unplanned extubation between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Constraints decision making wheel and grade is effective in ensuring patients'safety and improving the quality of nursing safety management by reducing unnecessary constraints or the incidence of delayed constraints.
