ABSTRACT
Objective To report 3 cases of using the EXIT(ex-utero intrapartum treatment)procedure in the peri-surgical caring of congenital diaphragmatic hernia of neonatus.Methods Preparing and consulting of multiple clinical departments before operation,inhibit uterine contraction to avoid placental abruption.Keep puerperae and their babies warm.Result No complications happened to neither maternity nor neonatus.Conclusion Co-operations of multiple clinical departmens were essential to the successful using the EXIT(ex-utero intrapartum treatment)procedure in the congenital diaphragmatic hernia of neonatus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the level of self-perceived burden(SPB) and analyze the influencing factors in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD) patients.Methods One hundred and ten CAPD patients were investigated by a self-designed demographic questionnaire and Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS).Results The total score of SPBS was (30.27±7.88) points,being in a middle level,and 85.45% of the patients showed different levels of burden.Single factor analysis showed the influencing factors of self-perceived burden were marital status,family per capita income,the main caregivers and selfcare ability.Conclusions Most CAPD patients have obvious self-perceived burden,nursing staff should use the relevant nursing measures to reduce the SPB with CAPD patients and improve their quality of life.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To discover specific neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation-promoting factor, which will contribute to study on development of nervous system and treatment of nervous system diseases. METHODS: The extracts of forebrain, midbrain,afterbrain and cerebellum of neonatal mice were prepared, and the NSCs of newborn mice were cultured in vitro. Neurospheres were observed, immunocytochemical staining of characteristic protein, nestin, and MTT assay were performed to identify NSCs and their proliferative properties. RESULTS: A great deal of neurospheres were formed in the presence of the extracts of afterbrain and cerebellum, which were positive for characteristic protein (Nestin) of NSC showed by immunocytochemical staining. CONCLUSION: The afterbrain and cerebellum extracts can increase the total number of NSCs isolated from newborn mice in vitro in a dose-dependent manner.
