ABSTRACT
Objective:To develop a nursing information system effectiveness evaluation scale based on the new D&M model and verify its reliability and validity.Methods:Six dimensions of the scale were constructed based on the framework of the new D&M model,through the methods including literature reading,expert discussion to determine the specific indicators of the questionnaire, and then forming the initial questionnaire. The dimensions and items of the test scale were modified by discriminant analysis method, correlation coefficient analysis method and Cronbach's αcoefficient method. The construct validity of the scale was analyzed by exploratory factor analysis method, and the dimensions and items of the test scale were optimized. Internal consistency and retest reliability were used to analyze the reliability of the scale.Results:Five common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis to explain the total variation of 57.462%. The final version of the scale consists of 5 dimensions and 23 items. The total Cronbachα coefficient of the scale was 0.768, and the total correlation coefficient was 0.849.Conclusions:The 5 dimensions retained by the scale have good construction validity, which can effectively explain the psychological characteristics of the subjects, and the results measured by the scale have good stability and consistency. This scale can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing information system.

ABSTRACT
Objective In view of the problems existing in traditional external fixator, to invent a novel single shoulder airbag external fixator, and evaluate the reductional stretch force produced by it. Methods The three-dimensional finite element model of human clavicle was established. The loading conditions of the single shoulder airbag external fixator and the reductional stretch force produced by the external fixator were analyzed comprehensively and systematically. The actual loading conditions of the single shoulder airbag external fixator and the traditional eight-figure bandage external fixator were compared and analyzed by experiment. Results Reductional stretch force produced by the single shoulder airbag external fixator was more uniform and larger than that produced by traditional external fixator, and could be adjusted by the patient himself. Conclusions The force and the loading method of the single shoulder airbag external fixator on the shoulder were more favorable for the stretched reduction of clavicle fractures and maintaining the position of clavicle fractures, and it could make the patients with clavicle fractures more comfortable.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the optimal scheme about the external loading of resetting tensile stress for clavicular fracture,so as to provide some mechanical references for optimal design of external fixators for clavicular fracture.Methods The shoulder CT scanning data from a volunteer were used to establish the three-dimensional model of human left shoulder by Mimics software.In order to better simulate the actual human shoulder,the ligament tissues were added in the model and the constraints of muscles were considered,and the experimental model for simulation analysis on resetting tensile stress was established.By 3 simulation experiments,the impacts from directions of resetting tensile stress,positions of action points and value ranges were simulated and analyzed,respectively.The resetting tensile stresses obtained from clavicle of the shoulder model under various external loading cases were simulated by orthogonal test methods.Results When the θ (angle between the horizontal plane projection of shoulder force which was loaded by external fixator and the coronal axis) was greater than 45°,clavicle could obtain the resetting tensile stress,which became greater with the angle θ increasing.When η (angle between the sagittal plane projection of shoulder force which was loaded by external fixator and the sagittal axis) was 30°-45°,the resetting tensile stress of clavicle was the maximum.The farther the position on which the loads from external fixator was exerted from the horizontal position of clavicle,the larger the resetting tensile stress of clavicle was.Conclusions The results of orthogonal test show that the optimal resetting tensile stress is produced with parameter combination of θ =65°,η =50°,acting on the center of humerus head of the shoulder.
ABSTRACT
Rosa rugosa Thunb, a deciduous shrub of the genus Rosa, has been widely used to treat stomach aches, diarrhoea, pain, and chronic inflammatory disease in eastern Asia. In recent years, our research team has extensively studied the Rosa rugosa flower extract, and specifically undertook pharmacological experiments which have optimized the extraction process. Our methods have yielded a standard extract enriched in phenolic compounds, named PRE. Herein, we expand our efforts and evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of PRE on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 macrophages. PRE significantly inhibited production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, interleukin (IL)-6, and interleukin 1β (IL-1β), as well as expression of their synthesizing enzymes, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase2 (COX-2). Furthermore, PRE inhibited activity of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) as well as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Our findings are the first to explain the anti-inflammatory mechanism by PRE in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Given these results, we propose that PRE has therapeutic potential in the prevention of inflammatory disorders.

A method was developed for the determination of 54 volatile hydrocarbons in workplace air by thermal desorption/gas chromatography-hydrogen flame ionization detector. The workplace air was adsorbed by Tenax-TA thermal desorption tubes, then desorbed by thermal desorption and detected by gas chromatography. The experimental results indicated that the coefficients efficiency of 1,1-dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, 2,2-dichloropropane, bromochloromethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloropropene were 0.9941-0.9986. The detection limits of bromochloromethane, dibromomethane, trichloromethane, bromodichloromethane, 2,2-dichloropropane, dibromochloromethane, bromoform were 5.4-10.3 ng, the minimum detectable concentration was 0.01-0.1 mg/m~3 (the air volume=0.5 L). The coefficients efficiency of other 38 volatile hydrocarbons was above 0.999, the minimum detectable concentration were 0.001-0.01 mg/m~3. The detection limits of alkenes were 0.4-2.7 ng, alkanes 1.4-3.7 ng, aromatic hydrocarbons 0.2-1.0 ng and naphthalene 2.2 ng. The desorption efficiencies of 54 volatile hydrocarbons were 92.1%-113.1% and the relative standard deviations(RSDs) were 0.6%-17.4%. Except for the RSD values of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 2,2-dichloropropane, trichloromethane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, bromochloromethane were 5.1%-17.4%, those of other volatile hydrocarbons were below 5%;The experimental results indicated that the breakthrough capacities of 9 volatile hydrocarbons were 400-4000 ng, those of the other volatile hydrocarbons were above 10 μg. Except for the loss rates of 2,2-dichloropropane, bromodichloromethane were 10%-15% in stable experiment, those of other volatile hydrocarbons in Tenax desorption tubes were below 5%, which indicated that 54 volatile hydrocarbons stored in Tenax tubes were stable. The method is a quick and accurate for the detection of volatile hydrocarbons in workplace air.
