Résumé
Bacterial endotoxin is considered as one of the critical risk factors in medical devices, especially implanted devices that directly or indirectly contact with blood circulating system. In that case, endotoxin limits for implanted medical devices is important in determine the safety of medical devices. According to GB/T 14233.2-2005, the requirements of endotoxin index for intrathoracic medical devices is 2.15 EU per device. However, the definition of "intrathoracic medical devices" is vague. Specifically, "for cardiovascular system application" instead of "intrathoracic application" is more reasonable. With the deeper understanding of the risk of endotoxin in medical devices and considering the internationally accepted standards, the limits of endotoxin in medical devices for cardiovascular system application is acceptable at 20 EU per device.

Objective:To analyze the current status of frailty in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery, explore its risk factors, and establish a predictive model of frailty in order to provide targeted and predictive nursing programs.Methods:A total of 205 cardiac surgery patients admitted to the first affiliated hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from March 2015 to January 2019 were selected as the study subjects. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether they were frail: the frailty group ( n=78) and the control group ( n=127). Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors that affect the frailty of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of model X [consisting of body mass index (BMI), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, number of diseased patients, and number of drugs] in diagnosing frailty in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Results:Of the 205 patients, 78 (38.05%) showed frailty. The proportion of high school education level and above, Tinetti Gaitassessment (TGA) score≥24 and MMSE score≥27 in the frailty group was lower than that in the control group, and the proportion of Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) score≥7, the number of diseases≥3 and the number of drugs≥5 in the frailty group was higher than that in the control group ( χ2 value was 9.254-26.061, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, MMSE score, number of diseased, and number of medications were independent risk factors for frailty in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery ( OR value was 0.032-5.275, P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve, sensitivity and specificity of frailty in elderly cardiac surgery patients assessed by model X were 0.913, 75.61% and 96.77%, respectively. Conclusion:The incidence of frailty is higher in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Model X can diagnose the frailty of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery and help clinical nurses to carry out targeted care.

BACKGROUND:Cytotoxicity of graphene oxide to normal cel s is relatively low, but whether graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin has some effects on malignant cel s is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the cytotoxicity of graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin on multiple myeloma cel s. METHODS:Multiple myeloma cel line RPMI8226 in logarithmic phase was selected, cultured and divided into four groups, including graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin, doxorubicin and graphene oxide groups as wel as control group with no intervention. After 24 hours of culture, the cel activity was detected by cel counting kit-8 method, and the cel cycle and apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Plump-shaped cel s with translucent and clear cytoplasm were found in the control group;cel s with relatively translucent cytoplasm, and even a few shrunken cel s appeared in the graphene oxide group;cel ular morphology was in a heterogeneity, apoptotic bodies appeared in the doxorubicin group;the cel s was significantly reduced in size, presenting more obvious shrinkage and apoptotic bodies in the group of graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin. The cel survival rate in the graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin, doxorubicin and graphene oxide groups was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and this indicator was significantly lower in the group of graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin than the graphene oxide group (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate in the group of graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin and doxorubicin group was significantly higher than those in the graphene oxide and control groups (P<0.05), respectively. Additional y, there were no significant differences in the cel cycle among groups. These results show that graphene oxide loaded with doxorubicin has a stronger cytotoxicity, and can induce apoptosis in human multiple myeloma cel s.

Objective To evaluate the impact of vagal denervation (VD) that is derived from circumferential ablation of pulmonary vein ostium for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) on the therapeutic results. Methods A total of 50 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were enrolled in this study. Circumferential ablation of pulmonary vein ostium was carried out in all the patients. The end point of ablation was pulmonary vein electricity isolation. The patients in whom VD occurred during the performance of ablation were regarded as VD- positive group (n = 19), and the remaining patients were used as VD- negative group (n = 31). The recurrence rate of AF six months after the treatment was recorded, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results The end point of ablation was successfully achieved in all the fifty cases. Six months after the ablation, the therapeutic effect of VD- positive group was significantly better than that of VD- negative group (84.21% vs 64.51%, P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion The vagal denervation effect that is derived from circumferential ablation of pulmonary vein ostium in treating AF can significantly increase the success rate of radiofrequency ablation for AF.
