Influences of sterile injector on infusion precision of syringe pump / 医疗卫生装备

To explore the influences of the sterile injectors with different sources while the same capacity on the infusion precision of the syringe pump. With six injects with two brands were selected as the subjects and an electronic pump for measuring, flow test was carried out with the brands marked on the pump or not. There was significant difference between the flows from the syringe pumps marked with the injector brands and those without the mark of the brands. The sterile injector has to be set before using the syringe pump.

Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor Enhances Repair of Cutaneous Full-thickness Excision by Increasing the Phosphorylation of Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase in Diabetic Rat / 中国修复重建外科杂志

Objective To investigate the possible signaling mechanisms by which recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) accelerated healing of cutaneous wound in diabetic rats. Methods Four full-thickness skin wounds were incised in the back of 26 male Wistar diabetic rats. The wounded rats were divided into 3 groups (7 or 8 rats each group). One group without treatment was used as a control, and the other 2 groups were treated with rhPDGF at a dose of 7.0 μg/cm2 wound or vehicle ( DMSO/0.9%NaCl, vol/vol 1:1) from 1 to 14 days. The wound healing was evaluated by the measurements of the wound volume and area. Immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical staining were used to examine the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2) and the expression of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), respectively. Results Granulation tissue appeared in the bed of wound after injury. The number of blood capillary buds and fibroblasts was greater in the rhPDGF-treated group than that in the other 2 groups. A lot of inflammatory cells infiltration and collagen deposition were observed in the wound. The wound-volume in the rhPDGF-treated group was smaller than that in control group ( P ＜ 0.05). The reepithelialization rate in rhPDGF-treated group was higher than that in the other 2 groups at 7 days after injury ( P ＜ 0.05). The expression of PCNA in reparative cells was higher in rhPDGF-treated group than in control group or vehicle-treated group at 3,7 days after injury( P ＜ 0.05). The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was stronger in rhPDGF-treated group than that in control group or vehicle group at 7 and 14 days after injury( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that rhPDGF accelerates wound healing and improves healing quality by increasing the phosphorylation of ERK1/2.
