Objective:To review the clinical status based on the best evidence of drug administration in patients with dysphagia, systematically analyze the obstacle factors and promoting factors in the process of evidence transformation, and formulate reform strategies.Methods:Based on the evidence-based nursing research method and the guidance of the Ottawa Model of Research Use (OMRU), the review indicators were developed based on the best evidence. The current status of clinical practice behaviors of 223 patients and 75 nurses in the Neurology, Neurosurgery and Geriatric departments of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University were reviewed from July to December 2021.Based on the results of the review, qualitative interviews were conducted with 32 potential adopters, and content analysis was used to assess the barriers and contributing factors to the clinical translation of evidence in three aspects: evidence-based change, potential adopters and practice environment, so as to develop effective strategies.Results:Based on the 22 best evidence selected, the evidence-based team developed 25 review indicators to carry out clinical review, showing that the compliance rate of 16 indicators were less than 60%. By analyzing and summarizing the interview results of potential adopters, the main obstacles leading to the low compliance rate of nurses were analyzed as follows: evidence-based reform changed the traditional work mode, and the application of evidence was not convenient; at the level of potential adopters, nurses had poor knowledge and practice, heavy work burden, and low awareness of patients and caregivers; at the level of practice environment, there was lack of nursing norms and procedures for clinical transformation of evidence, and the channels of multi-disciplinary collaboration and communication were not smooth. The main promoting factors were the perfect supervision mechanism of evidence-based nursing projects, the evidence-based group had rich experience in evidence transformation, the management was willing to change, and the practitioners were good at innovation.Conclusions:There is still a large gap between the clinical practice and the best evidence of drug administration in patients with dysphagia. The promoting factors should be fully utilized to overcome the obstacles and implement improvements to promote the effective transformation of evidence into clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the function and mechanism of CXC chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) in neuronal cells of ischemic stroke.Methods:The expression of CXCR7 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells was interfered by small interfering RNA (si-RNA) technique. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury model was constructed in SH-SY5Y cells. CXCR7 protein expression and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The protein expression of CXCR7 and Akt signaling pathway was detected by Western blotting.Results:After 6 hours of OGD/R, the expression of CXCR7 was significantly decreased compared with OGD/R 0 hour (CXCR7/GAPDH: 0.483±0.098 vs. 1.000±0.000 by Western blotting and 0.686±0.0524 vs. 1.000±0.000 by FCM, both P < 0.01), cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase (1.190±0.040 vs. 1.000±0.000, P < 0.01). After CXCR7 si-RNA interference with SH-SY5Y cells, OGD/R was constructed again for 6 hours. Compared with negative control group (si-NC group) under the same environment, the expression of CXCR7 and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) was significantly decreased (CXCR7/GAPDH: 0.471±0.051 vs. 1.000±0.000, p-Akt/GAPDH: 0.616±0.027 vs. 1.000±0.000, both P < 0.001) and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase (1.105±0.033 vs. 1.000±0.000, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The CXCR7 could regulate the cycle of neuronal cells in ischemic stroke through Akt signaling pathway, which has a protective effect on neuronal cells.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)for common bile duct(CBD)stones before endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP). Methods Data of patients with suspected CBD stones admitted to The First People′s Hospital of Hangzhou from July 2012 to July 2013 were reviewed. Diagnostic efficiency and rates of complications were analyzed between patients undergoing EUS(EUS group)and MRCP(MRCP group)before ERCP, and between patients who underwent EUS and ERCP in different sessions(non-one-session group)with those in one session(one-session group). Results A total of 657 patients were included. With ERCP and follow-up results as the gold standard, the sensitivity(97.5% VS 88.4%), accuracy(96.3% VS 88.0%)and negative predictive value(88.9% VS 60.0%)of EUS in the diagnosis of CBD stones were significantly higher than those of MRCP(P<0.05). There were no significant differences between one-session group and non-one-session group in the sensitivity(97.5% VS 97.4%), specificity(91.7% VS 90.0%), positive predictive value(98.3% VS 97.4%), negative predictive value(88.0% VS 90.0%), and accuracy (96.6% VS 95.9%)in diagnosis of CBD stones(P>0.05). There were no significant differences in incidence of postoperative complications of ERCP between EUS and MRCP group[5.4%(13/242)VS 5.1%(21/415),P>0.05],and between one-session group and non-one-session group[5.5%(8/145)VS 5.2%(5/97),P>0.05].Conclusion Preoperative EUS before ERCP could increase diagnostic sensitivity and negative pridictive value of CBD stones without increasing the incidence of complications.

Objective Our preliminary study demonstrates that quercetin can inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells. This sudy aimed to find some drugs which could have synergistic effects with quercetin on apoptosis of HL-60 cells. Methods HL-60 cells were cultured with bortezomib at different concentrations (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32μmol/L) alone or combined with quercetin at different concentrations for 48 h. HL-60 cells were cultured with lenalidomide at different concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 μmol/L) alone or in combination with quercetin at different concentrations for 48 h. The CCK-8 assay was used to determine the effects on proliferation of HL-60 cells. Results Bortezomib significantly inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells (P<0.01). IC50 of quercetin was 49.24μmol/L after cells treated by quercetin combined with bortezomib, which was 13.44μmol/L lower than that treated by quercetin alone. Isobolographic analysis revealed the two drugs had synergistic effect. The results of cell viability of HL-60 cells treated by lenalidomide at lower concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40, and 80μmol/L)were not different from those of the control group (P > 0.05). The results of cell viability of HL-60 cells treated by lenalidomide at higher concentrations (160 and 320μmol/L) were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). IC50 of quercetin after cells treated by quercetin combined with bortezomib was not different from that treated by quercetin alone. Isobolographic analysis revealed the two drugs had no synergistic effect. Conclusions Bortezomib can inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells and it has a synergistic effect with quercetin on HL-60 cells. Lenalidomide has a weaker role in inhibition of the proliferation of HL-60 cells, and it has no synergistic effect with quercetin on HL-60 cells.
