资料收集中的护患沟通交流技巧

正确的护理评估依赖于资料收集的充足与准确。因此资料收集是否全面、系统、真实、及时，直接影响着护理诊断和护理措施的正确制订。如何应用护患沟通技巧，准确、及时、全面地收集资料保证护理质量是当今护理工作应关注的重要内容。     

与甲壳素缝线体外复合培养大鼠成肌细胞株L6细胞的形态学

目的：探讨甲壳素作为骨骼肌组织工程支架材料的可行性。 方法：实验于2002-06／12在南方医科大学应用解剖学研究所完成。大鼠成肌细胞株L6与甲壳素医用缝合线体外复合培养。倒置相差显微镜下观察细胞的形态和排列情况。并分别在体外复合培养的第1，2，3，4，5，6天，取出细胞支架复合体，扫描电镜观察成肌细胞的形态和排列情况。 结果：①扫描电子显微镜观察显示，甲壳素医用可吸收缝线的表面比较粗糙。②倒置相差显微镜下可见大鼠L6细胞与甲壳素制备的医用可吸收缝合线间黏附良好，细胞沿缝线排列呈现串珠样，并可以见到细胞聚集现象。③扫描电子显微镜观察，接种24h后，细胞主要为圆球形，随后细胞迁移、伸展、并见突起；第3天，成肌细胞主要为梭形，并见融合趋势；4d后，细胞沿材料纵轴排列并相互融合，并见肌小管样结构形成及细胞外基质分泌。 结论：甲壳素具有作为支架以构建组织工程化骨骼肌的潜能，支架的平行排列有助于工程化骨骼肌纤维良好方向性的形成。     

Infrared spectrum and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the alkaloid extract of Gelsemium produced in east Guangdong province]

OBJECTIVE: To identify the structure of the alkaloid extract of Gelsemium from east Guangdong province of China. METHODS: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectrometry, hydrogen and carbon spectra of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) analysis were used for the structural identification of the alkaloid exstract of Gelsemium. RESULTS: The frequency, intensity and shape of the extract's characteristic peaks in infrared absorption spectra (4,000.0-400.0 cm(-1)) and (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR were recognized and compared. The molecular structure of the sample was consistent with the theoretically derived model. CONCLUSION: The extract is structurally identical to koumine, which may provide evidence for its safe clinical application and establishment of Chinese medicine fingerprint database of Gelsemium.     

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa keratinocytes in culture display adhesive, structural, and functional abnormalities.

An unusual, elongated, refractile cell morphology was observed in keratinocytes cultured from three patients with non-lethalis forms of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB). To determine whether these changes might be related to altered cell adhesion, keratinocyte strains established from one patient were examined for adhesive, structural, and functional characteristics. JEB keratinocytes expressed keratin tonofilaments, as determined by staining with AE1 monoclonal antibodies and direct observation of tonofilaments by electron microscopy. JEB keratinocytes showed diminished cell-substratum adhesions, judged by interference reflection microscopy. Areas of diminished cell-substratum adhesion corresponded to F-actin-rich cell adhesions (focal adhesions) and not to cellular areas that abundantly express hemidesmosomal antigens. Analysis of cell-substratum adhesion by electron microscopy revealed extensive areas of cell-substratum separation in JEB keratinocytes that were not present in normal keratinocytes maintained in serum-free medium. Normal keratinocytes displayed numerous regions of focal contact between the ventral plasma membrane and the culture substratum, but these structures were not seen in JEB keratinocytes. Bundled actin filaments (stress fibers) were greatly diminished in expected regions of cell-substratum adhesion in JEB keratinocytes and, instead, displayed disorganized individual filaments. The growth rate of JEB keratinocytes was quite slow in culture, with a population doubling time of 2.7 d versus 1.5 d for normal keratinocytes under identical conditions. JEB keratinocytes also displayed a reduced ability to aggregate into colonies upon exposure to medium with increased extracellular calcium. JEB keratinocytes thus display adhesive, structural, and functional abnormalities that suggest this cell type may be central to the pathogenesis of junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Study of affected keratinocytes could be important to characterize associated molecular pathologies.     

Sleep and recovery in physicians on night call: a longitudinal field study

Background  

It is well known that physicians' night-call duty may cause impaired performance and adverse effects on subjective health, but there is limited knowledge about effects on sleep duration and recovery time. In recent years occupational stress and impaired well-being among anaesthesiologists have been frequently reported for in the scientific literature. Given their main focus on handling patients with life-threatening conditions, when on call, one might expect sleep and recovery to be negatively affected by work, especially in this specialist group. The aim of the present study was to examine whether a 16-hour night-call schedule allowed for sufficient recovery in anaesthesiologists compared with other physician specialists handling less life-threatening conditions, when on call.     

Associations between street connectivity and active transportation

Background  

Past studies of associations between measures of the built environment, particularly street connectivity, and active transportation (AT) or leisure walking/bicycling have largely failed to account for spatial autocorrelation of connectivity variables and have seldom examined both the propensity for AT and its duration in a coherent fashion. Such efforts could improve our understanding of the spatial and behavioral aspects of AT. We analyzed spatially identified data from Los Angeles and San Diego Counties collected as part of the 2001 California Health Interview Survey.     

Does chair type influence outcome in the timed “up and go” test in older persons?

Objective  

To test the effects of the use of a collapsible, portable chair (chair B), as opposed to a ‘standard’ chair (chair A), on the outcome of the timed “Up and Go” (TUG) test.
