Research progress on management of blood pressure in patients with aortic dissection / 中国实用护理杂志

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular condition. The elevated blood pressure plays an important role in the development and the formation of aortic dissection, thus treatment of aortic dissection requires the management of blood pressure control. In this paper, we reported the current situation and summarized the influencing factors of blood pressure management in the treatment of patients with aortic dissection. Suggestions were provided to improve the management of blood pressure control and to support the future research in China.

Influence of working environment and head nurses' leadership style on nurses′ working values / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective@#To explore the current situation of nurses′ working values, working environment and head nurses′ leadership style. To explore the influence factors of nurses′ working environment and head nurse′s leadership style on nurses′ working values.@*Methods@#By applying random stratified sampling, 499 clinical nurses without administrative titles in 6 hospitals were selected. Questionnaires were adopted as the main research tool.@*Results@#Score of nurses′ working values was 3.52 ± 0.56. Score of nurses′ working environment was 3.03 ± 0.44. Score of head nurses′transformational leadership style was 2.70 ± 0.76, and score of head nurses′ transactional leadership style was 2.23 ± 0.47. Working environment, transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style were positively correlated with nurses′ working values (P= 0.452, 0.371, 0.234).@*Conclusions@#Working values of nurses in general public hospitals of Changsha city is at moderate level. By improving nurses′ working environment and head nurses adopting positive leadership, and in particular, proposing beneficial measures for improving a solid nursing foundation for quality of care, sufficient human resources and intellectual stimulation, nurses′ working values can be improved.

Cloning of UL7 protein of HSV-1 and analysis of the expression of UL7 protein during the prolifera-tion of HSV-1 / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To express and purify the recombinant UL7 protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), to prepare the corresponding UL7-specific polyclonal antibody and to preliminarily analyze the expression of UL7 protein during the proliferation of HSV-1. Methods The UL7 gene was amplified by PCR and then cloned into the pGEX-5X-1 vector for expression of UL7 protein in the prokaryotic expression system. The constructed expression plasmid, pGEX-5X-1-UL7, was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) to induce the expression of UL7 protein by IPTG. The purified GST-UL7 fusion protein was used as antigen to inject the ICR mouse for the preparation of polyclonal antibody specific for UL7 protein. The titer and speci-ficity of the polyclonal antibody were analyzed by using indirect ELISA and Western blot assay, respectively. The UL7 protein-specific polyclonal antibody was used to detect the expression of UL7 protein at different time points after infecting Vero cells with HSV-1. Results The GST-UL7 fusion protein was efficiently ex-pressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The UL7 protein-specific polyclonal antibody was prepared with high titer (1 ∶ 105) and high specificity as indicated by the indirect ELISA and Western blot assay. The expression of UL7 protein was detected at different time points after infecting Vero cells with HSV-1. Conclusion The GST-UL7 fusion protein was obtained successfully and the UL7 protein-specific polyclonal antibody was pre-pared. Accompany with the proliferation of HSV-1, the expression of UL7 protein was detected at different time points by using the polyclonal antibody.
