After “Hello” with a wounded warrior: A student journey

The article describes the journey of a terror-stricken student growing into an adept healthcare provider; representing courageous personal and professional growth after a “Hello” in a nursing school immersion experience. The journey includes the student’s emotional maturity and courage, recognizing the uniqueness of military culture, realizing the magnitude of the patient’s losses, ascertaining patient concerns, personal recovery goals and long-term support network. Together recovery milestones are recognized and achieved. The article underscores the importance of nurse education in facilitating student’s effective nurse-patient communication techniques considering diverse cultural elements, and consistently applying these theoretical concepts into practice. Assignments geared toward a holistic patient perspective can serve to develop student leadership progress toward becoming informed and engaged citizens, enlarging worldviews and a heightened awareness of relevant global issues, and spark passion related to national policy reform. Commitment to professional ownership of personal and professional growth throughout nursing school leads to positive transitions as a seasoned healthcare provider.     

针灸治疗对脑卒中偏瘫患者总有效率的影响

目的:探究针灸治疗对脑卒中偏瘫患者总有效率的影响。方法:将2017年1月-2018年12月在我院接受治疗的58例脑卒中偏瘫患者作为研究对象,随机数字表法分为观察组与对照组,每组29例,分别给予针灸治疗与常规治疗,对两组患者治疗前后神经功能缺损评分(Neurological Impairment Score Scale,NIHSS)、日常生活能力(Barthel指数)以及临床治疗效果进行综合评价。结果:观察组患者治疗后的NIHSS评分明显降低,Barthel指数提高,与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组患者治疗后总有效率与对照组比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:针灸治疗脑卒中偏瘫患者,能够促进神经功能改善,提高患者日常生活能力,效果显著,值得推广应用。     

饮用水水源地水中总铀浓度监测结果分析

目的 调查各种类型饮用水水源地水样中的总铀含量，分析饮用水水源地水体中总铀浓度、摄入量及其所致年待积有效剂量，为辐射环境安全监管提供科学依据。方法 通过现场采样，采用激光荧光法分析水中铀浓度，统计2010—2018年饮用水水源地水样总铀含量，计算年摄入量和年待积有效剂量。结果 监测分析结果显示，2010—2018年饮用水水源地水中总铀浓度为0.09～4.50 μg/L，所致公众总铀年摄入量儿童和成人的最大值分别为62.58 Bq、125.16 Bq，对应的年待积有效剂量分别为4.63 μSv、6.13 μSv，符合公众年待积有效剂量限值要求。结论 近岸海水的总铀浓度相对较高，湖库水和地下水的总铀含量较低且保持稳定，近海口的地表水总铀浓度有时偏高，可能是受潮汐影响。考虑公众影响，应制定铀元素的浓度限值标准。     

The contribution of TMS–EEG coregistration in the exploration of the human cortical connectome

Recent developments in neuroscience have emphasised the importance of integrated distributed networks of brain areas for successful cognitive functioning. Our current understanding is that the brain has a modular organisation in which segregated networks supporting specialised processing are linked through a few long-range connections, ensuring processing integration. Although such architecture is structurally stable, it appears to be flexible in its functioning, enabling long-range connections to regulate the information flow and facilitate communication among the relevant modules, depending on the contingent cognitive demands. Here we show how insights brought by the coregistration of transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS–EEG) integrate and support recent models of functional brain architecture. Moreover, we will highlight the types of data that can be obtained through TMS–EEG, such as the timing of signal propagation, the excitatory/inhibitory nature of connections and causality. Last, we will discuss recent emerging applications of TMS–EEG in the study of brain disorders.     

Single-dose combination nanovaccine induces both rapid and durable humoral immunity and toxin neutralizing antibody responses against Bacillus anthracis

Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, continues to be a prominent biological warfare and bioterrorism threat. Vaccination is likely to remain the most effective and user-friendly public health measure to counter this threat in the foreseeable future. The commercially available AVA BioThrax vaccine has a number of shortcomings where improvement would lead to a more practical and effective vaccine for use in the case of an exposure event. Identification of more effective adjuvants and novel delivery platforms is necessary to improve not only the effectiveness of the anthrax vaccine, but also enhance its shelf stability and ease-of-use. Polyanhydride particles have proven to be an effective platform at adjuvanting the vaccine-associated adaptive immune response as well as enhancing stability of encapsulated antigens. Another class of adjuvants, the STING pathway-targeting cyclic dinucleotides, have proven to be uniquely effective at inducing a beneficial inflammatory response that leads to the rapid induction of high titer antibodies post-vaccination capable of providing protection against bacterial pathogens. In this work, we evaluate the individual contributions of cyclic di-GMP (CDG), polyanhydride nanoparticles, and a combination thereof towards inducing neutralizing antibody (nAb) against the secreted protective antigen (PA) from B. anthracis. Our results show that the combination nanovaccine elicited rapid, high titer, and neutralizing IgG anti-PA antibody following single dose immunization that persisted for at least 108 DPI.     

荔枝草治疗急性咽炎有效部位筛选＊

目的 筛选荔枝草治疗急性咽炎的有效部位，研究治疗急性咽炎的作用机制，为荔枝草资源的药食两用开发提供理论依据。方法 通过二甲苯致小鼠耳肿胀试验筛选荔枝草抗炎有效部位，采用氨水刺激喉部法建立大鼠急性咽炎模型，通过行为学观察、ELISA双抗夹心检测、病理形态学观察和咽部组织蛋白表达研究乙酸乙酯部位对大鼠急性咽炎的治疗效果。结果 荔枝草乙酸乙酯提取物对二甲苯致小鼠耳肿胀有明显的抑制作用，氨水刺激建立的急性咽炎模型符合急性咽炎动物模型特征，乙酸乙酯部位提取物可显著改善急性咽炎大鼠的咽部病理形态学表现。不同剂量治疗组大鼠血清及咽部组织中IL-1β、IL-6及TNF-α炎性因子数量均下降，高剂量组下降最为明显。荔枝草乙酸乙酯提取物可明显增加大鼠咽部组织IκBα蛋白表达，降低NF-κBp65蛋白表达。结论 荔枝草乙酸乙酯部位提取物对急性咽炎具有治疗作用，可能与抑制咽部炎症病理改变的发生，能调节血液中炎症因子、抑制NF-κB表达和IκBα解离有关。
