Abstract
Due to prolonged forced positioning, the incidence of intraoperative pressure injuries is high. This study aimed to explore the impact of small-molecule antiplatelet drugs on pressure injuries by locally applying them before an injury occurs. In the first part of this study, water-soluble tracers with different molecular weights were applied to normal and early-stage pressure-injured skin. Through digital cameras, spectrophotometers, and histological observations, the penetration of tracers into the epidermis was clarified. In the second part of this study, a water-soluble antiplatelet drug called Trapidil (molecular weight = 205 Da) was applied to the left side of the back of a rat before, during, and after compression, and the contralateral side served as a non-intervention control group. The differences in pressure injuries between the two groups were observed through a digital camera, an ultraviolet camera, and temperature measurement, and skin circulation and perfusion were assessed via an intravenous injection of Evans Blue. The first part of this study found that water-soluble tracers did not easily penetrate normal skin but could more easily penetrate pressure-damaged skin. The smaller the molecular weight of the tracer, the easier it penetrated the skin. Therefore, in the next step of research, water-soluble drugs with smaller molecular weights should be selected. The second part of this study found that, compared with the control group, the occurrence rates and areas of ulcers were lower, the gray value was higher, and the skin temperature was lower in the Trapidil group (p < 0.05). After the intravenous Evans Blue injection, skin circulation and perfusion in the Trapidil group were found to be better. In conclusion, this study found that the topical skin application of a small-molecule antiplatelet agent may have significant effects against pressure injuries by improving post-decompression ischemia, providing new insights into the prevention and treatment of intraoperative pressure injuries.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify the most meaningful diagnostic indicator for distinguishing blanchable erythema (BE) and stage 1 pressure injury (early PI) in an in vivo (rat) model. DESIGN A prospective case-control design was used to complete a horizontal and vertical comparison of detection indicators during the process of fading of BE or the deterioration of early PI into ulcer in rat models. MATERIALS AND SETTING The sample comprised 5 hairless rats with 20 injuries, of which 10 were BE and the other 10 were early PI. Data were collected at Nagano College of Nursing in 2020 in Nagano, Japan. METHODS The BE and PI rat models were established by subjecting the dorsal skin of a hairless rat to compression between 2 neodymium magnets for 45 minutes and 3.45 hours, respectively. The affected skin was observed based on the following: (1) photography, (2) hardness, (3) temperature, (4) moisture, and (5) spectrophotometric (a* value and ultraviolet [UV] reflectance) measurements. All measurements of BE were performed at the beginning to 60 minutes after decompression, and those for early PI were performed until 48 hours after decompression. RESULTS Multiple BE factors, such as the degree of erythema (macroscopy and a* value), hardness, temperature, and moisture, were found to have unstable fluctuations. Only UV reflectance gradually decreased from 6 hours and decreased significantly at 48 hours after decompression (P = .001 vs 1 hour). In contrast to early PI, erythema in BE obviously faded within 10 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Study findings indicate that a continuous decrease in UV reflectance can reflect the worsening of hemorrhage in early (stage 1) PI. In contrast, other indicators including photography, skin hardness, temperature, and moisture fluctuated and did not prove predictive for PI progression. The obvious fading of erythema in BE a short time after decompression can be used for clinical observations.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to determine the psychosocial markers associated with pre-hospital delay among patients with diabetic foot (DF). DESIGN This study has a cross-sectional design. METHODS The participants completed a questionnaire including pre-hospital time, demographic characteristics, Social Support Rate Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and Type D Personality Scale-14. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to explore independent associations with pre-hospital delay. RESULTS Only 1.8% (3/164) of participants arrived at the hospital for medical care in 24 h of symptom onset. Patients with low utilization of social support (p = 0.029), low negative illness perceptions (p = 0.014) and high levels of negative affectivity (p = 0.009) are likely to arrive late at the clinic. Medical staff should pay attention to identifying diabetic patients' Type D personalities and take actions to improve their social support as well as illness perception, so as to reduce the occurrence of hospital delay. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE Psychosocial factors play a vital role in the delay in seeking medical treatment for patients with DF. Medical staff need to improve patients' illness perception as well as self-management ability through health education. Importantly, key family members provide an emotional and psychological support system for diabetic patients. Therefore, nurses need to work with family members together to give information and psychological support during family visits. Additionally, building and maintaining trust with patients is crucial to encouraging individuals to express their concerns and worries. In this case, nurses may identify patients' negative emotions and conduct timely intervention, so as to achieve favourable outcomes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION This study used a convenience sample of 164 participants with DF recruited from the wound clinic of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital and Yangzhou Hospital of TCM in China.

Abstract
Early pressure injury (PI) progression is associated with multi-circulatory disorders and they interplay with each other, resulting in a lack of a satisfactory diagnostic method. We generated early PI and blanchable erythema hairless rat models. Transparent disc method and capillary refilling time test (CRTT) results were recorded with ultraviolet camera to capture the dynamics changes, and the blanching index and refilling index were set for comprehensive analysis. The deteriorated areas of early PI showed non-blanchable erythema (NBE) and an increase in erythema at 0.5 and 6 h with the transparent disc method. CRTT showed a marked refilling delay at 12 h. The comprehensive analysis of blanching index and refilling index showed a significant change in erythema from NBE at 0.5 h and ischemia progressing to hemorrhage at 18 h. There was also a marked difference in the deteriorating and improving areas within the same erythema. Pathological analysis showed inflammatory cell infiltration, with marked edema accompanied by increased hemorrhage and tissue necrosis. Furthermore, small arteries and veins with thrombosis and microthrombi were observed. Consistent ischemia after decompression and subsequent hemorrhage are important indicators, and comprehensive analysis can help increase the positive diagnosis rate over that for other circulatory disorders alone.

Abstract
Intraoperatively acquired pressure injuries (IAPIs) occur frequently among patients who undergo surgical procedures that last longer than 3 h. Several studies indicated that heat shock proteins (HSPs) play an important role in the protection of stress-induced damages in skin tissues. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential preventive effect of thermal preconditioning (TPC) on IAPIs in surgical patients and rats and to identify the differentially expressed HSP genes in response to the above treatment. TPC was performed on one group of hairless rats before the model of pressure injuries was established. Subsequently, the size of skin lesions was measured and the expression levels of mRNA and protein of HSPs of the pressured skin were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot, and immunohistochemical staining. For human studies, 118 surgical patients were randomly divided into the TPC group (n = 59) and the control group (n = 59), respectively. The temperature and pressure of sacral skin, as well as the incidence of pressure injury (PI) were detected and compared. In animal studies, TPC significantly reduced both the size and incidence of PI in rats on the second, third and fourth days post treatment. In addition, the expression levels of both mRNA and protein of HSP27 were increased in the TPC group, compared with the control group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that HSP27 was distributed in various types of dermal cells and increased in basal cells. In human studies, a significant reduction (75%) of IAPIs was observed among the patients in the TPC group. TPC can reduce the incidence of PI in rats and humans, and the upregulation of HSP27 may play an important role in this biological progress. Further studies are warranted to explore the molecular mechanism of the preventive effect in PI mediated by HSP27.

Abstract
This study developed a rapid manufacturing approach for a moisture sensor based on contactless jet printing technology. A compact measurement system with ultrathin and flexure sensor electrodes was fabricated. The proposed sensor system focuses on continuous urine measurement, which can provide timely information on subjects to ensure efficient diagnosis and treatment. The obtained results verify that the proposed sensor system can exhibit a typical responsivity of up to -7.76 mV/%RH in the high-sensitivity range of 50-80 %RH. A preliminary field experiment was conducted on a hairless rat, and the effectiveness of the proposed ultrathin moisture sensor was verified. This ultrathin sensor electrode can be fabricated in the micrometer range, and its application does not affect the comfort of the user. The ultrathin electrode sensors can be printed directly on the diaper or undergarment of the user for in situ urine health monitoring, particularly of infants and the elderly.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of lateral violence (LV) experienced by nursing students during their internship, explore the difference between professional identity and professionalism among nursing students who had or had not experienced LV and analyse the mediating effect of professional identity on the relationship between LV and professionalism. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was used. METHODS An online anonymous survey was distributed to nursing students (N = 298) in Jiangsu province, China from June to July 2021. The questionnaire consisted of sections on lateral violence, professional identity and nursing professionalism. RESULTS Approximately 49.7% of the nursing students experienced LV behaviour during the internship period. Students who experienced LV had lower professional identity and professionalism than those who did not. Among the students, LV was negatively correlated with professional identity (r = -0.333, p < 0.001) and professionalism (r = -0.418, p < 0.001). The relationship effect of LV on nursing professionalism was partly mediated by professional identity. CONCLUSION Nearly half of the nursing students suffered from LV in the workplace, and this condition remarkably influenced nursing professionalism through professional identity. Both quantitative and qualitative studies are needed to investigate the factors that influence LV development in detail.

Abstract
Aim The increase in empty-nest elderly individuals with chronic diseases poses a major challenge to the provision of public health services in China. Telenursing can effectively relieve the pressure of public health services to a certain extent. This study aims to explore the telenursing needs of empty-nest elderly individuals with chronic diseases based on the Kano model to provide references for improving the quality of telenursing. Methods Participants were selected from five rural communities and five urban communities in Yangzhou and Nantong, Jiangsu Province, China. A total of 348 empty-nest elderly individuals with chronic diseases were included. The participants received a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, and their telenursing needs were surveyed and analyzed based on the Kano model. Results Of the 15 quality attributes evaluated by the participants, 3 telenursing services were categorized as "must-be quality", 5 were categorized as "one-dimensional quality", 5 were categorized as "attractive quality", and 2 were categorized as "indifferent quality". The proportion of individuals who desired telenursing services ranged from 47.41 to 83.62%, the better values (satisfaction) ranged from 35.29-83.98%, and the worse values (dissatisfaction) ranged from 10.91 to 63.27%. There were no significant differences in any items of telenursing needs for between participants in Yangzhou and Nantong (all P > 0.05), and there were also no significant differences in all items between rural and urban communities (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Based on the Kano model, it was found that empty-nest elderly individuals with chronic diseases had a positive attitude toward telenursing and that they had different levels of need for different telenursing services. These findings provided a theoretical basis for medical decision-makers to formulate medical policies and provided a scientific foundation for nursing managers to improve telenursing services to meet the needs of the empty-nest elderly individuals with chronic diseases.

Abstract
Background: Pressure injuries (PIs) generally result from prolonged ischemia through localized skin compression, and ischemia persists and exacerbates damage even post-decompression. The mechanisms of ischemia post-decompression are still unclear, and appropriate methods for detection are lacking. Methods: We used blanchable erythema (BE) and early PI rat models. We assessed the perfusion using Evans Blue (EB) and thrombus formation under a light microscope. Furthermore, we performed a capillary refill time test (CRTT) to detect ischemia after depression coupled with the transparent disk method using a spectrophotometer. Results: Compared with the BE group, the early PI group showed significantly slow and insufficient perfusion, as determined by EB staining (p < 0.001). Histological observations revealed that ischemia during post-decompression of early PI was caused by a greater amount of thrombi. The CRTT results showed that although both groups exhibited varying degrees of insufficient refilling volume, the early PI group had significantly slower refilling than the BE group (p < 0.001), which persisted during the deterioration or disappearance of erythema. Conclusions: Our results showed that persistent ischemia caused by thrombi is an important cause of early PI deterioration post-decompression. Therefore, the performance of CRTT coupled with the transparent disc method may become a promising method for detecting ischemia post-decompression.

Abstract
Pressure injury (PI) prevention is a huge industry and involves various interventions. Temperature and moisture are important factors for wound healing; however, the active mechanism by which “moist heat” affects PI prevention has not yet been clarified. Thus, we explored the protective and therapeutic effects of hydrotherapy on PI based on the preconditioning (PC) principle, which might be useful for clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the preventive mechanisms of heat shock preconditioning on PIs in rat models. The experiment was performed in the basic medical laboratory of Nagano College of Nursing in Japan. Ten rats were divided into two groups, with five rats in each group. Rats in the control group were not bathed. Rats in the preconditioning group (PC group) were bathed with hot tap-water. Bathing was conducted thrice a week. After bathing for 4 weeks, the PI model was constructed on the rats’ dorsal skin. The skin temperature, skin moisture, and area of ulcers were compared between the two groups. In vitro, we investigated the expression of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) in 6, 12, and 24 h after the PI model was constructed through Western blot analysis. Ulcers occurred in the control group 24 h after the PI model constructed, wheras the PC group exhibited ulcers after 36 h. The ulcer area was larger in the control group than that in the PC group after 24 h (all p < 0.05). The temperatures of PI wounds in the control group decreased and were lower than those in the PC group after 1, 6, 12, 36, and 48 h (all p < 0.05). However, the skin moisture levels of PI wounds increased in the control group and were higher than those in the PC group at the same time (all p < 0.05). Using Western blot analysis, hydrotherapy preconditioning showed the potential to increase Hsp27 expression after pressure was released (p < 0.05). We determine that heat shock preconditioning had a preventive effect on PIs in rat models, a result that may be associated with their actions in the upregulation of Hsp27.

Abstract
Background: Non-blanchable erythema is used as a diagnostic indicator for stage 1 pressure injury (early PI); it is distinguished from blanchable erythema (BE) by the application of “light pressing”. Considering the low of the accuracy of the degree of pressure applied, it is difficult to use this method in clinical settings. Methods: We constructed models of BE and early PI in order to determine the most appropriate pressure values using the transparent disc method. We observed erythema by using a Dermo-camera to quantify the gray and a* values of the wound area along with a spectrophotometer. Results: BE started to fade at 50 mmHg, while the gray values became statistically significant when the pressure was increased to 100 mmHg (p < 0.05). However, erythema remained even when the pressure was increased to 150 mmHg soon after decompression. By contrast, the early PI was showed to be non-blanchable for the longest time under a pressure of 150 mmHg, but by 18 h it had decreased and the erythema faded more obviously after applying pressure. Conclusions: We proposed that a pressure of 50−100 mmHg was more appropriate for light pressure, but this may vary when different instruments are used. Variations may occur in either BE or early PI, therefore, careful attention should be paid during observations.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to develop a reliable and validate Chinese version of Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI). DESIGN A cross-sectional validation design was adopted in this study. METHODS After obtaining the copyright by contacting with the author, the original English OLBI was developed to Chinese by forward translation, back-translation, cultural adaptation and a pre-test (20 nurses). The Chinese OLBI and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were administered to 641 clinical nurses during July and August, 2020. Internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient), split reliability (split half coefficient), construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis) and criterion validity (comparison with MBI, using Pearson correlation analysis) were assessed. RESULTS The Chinese OLBI included 16 items. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two factors with a cumulative contribution of 62.245%. Two-dimensional structure (exhaustion and disengagement) was confirmed. It has good internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient values of 0.905, 0.933 and 0.876 for the total questionnaire, exhaustion dimension and disengagement dimension, respectively), split half reliability (split half coefficient = 0.883, p < .01) and criterion validity (r = 0.873, p < .01). Pearson coefficients between 16 items and the scale varied from 0.479-0.765. An acceptable model fit (χ2 /df = 2.49, RMSEA = 0.068, TLI = 0.906, CFI = 0.922, SRMR = 0.061) was achieved.

Abstract
Early pressure injury (PI) can result in either spontaneous healing (SH) or deterioration into ulcer (DU). However, determining whether PI will progress into SH or DU on the basis of non-blanchable erythema only is difficult. In this study, we constructed two animal PI models to mimic SH and DU injuries and observed haemorrhage by using ultraviolet (UV) photography to develop potential clinical indicators for predicting the progression of early PI. Macroscopy, UV photography, and skin temperature observations were obtained. In the SH group, macroscopic observation showed the erythema was obvious at 0.5 hours after decompression and faded gradually had almost disappeared at 72 hours. In the DU group, the erythema persisted, and an erosion appeared at 24 hours after decompression and expanded at 36 hours. The erythema developed into an obvious ulcer at 48 hours and enlarged at 72 hours. The obvious ulcer found at 48 hours through macroscopic observation was clearly visible at 36 hours with UV photography, and a significant difference in grey values between the two groups was found at as early as 18 hours (P < .05). This study provided evidence showing that UV photography can predict the different progression stages of early PI. Additionally, when combined with the transparent disc method, UV photography also can be used to identify the circulatory disorders of early PI, such as haemorrhage or hyperaemia and even congestion.

Abstract
Background: In recent years, the increasing number of empty-nest elderly has become a significant global social problem, and the rapid development of medical technology and information technology has improved the feasibility of telenursing. However, few studies have been conducted on needs of telenursing among the empty-nest elderly. The aim of this study is to explore the needs of telenursing for community-dwelling empty-nest elderly who are completely independent in activities of daily living (ADL), or who are mildly disabled, and to provide a reference for improving the remote care quality. Methods: A questionnaire survey aiming to explore telenursing needs of the elderly was conducted among 268 community-dwelling empty-nest elderly who were selected using random sampling and then data were analyzed based on the Kano Model. Results: Chi-square goodness-of-fit test showed that there were significant differences between actual and expected counts for each item of telenursing needs (p < 0.01 for all), indicating that the sample had specific individual preference for the Kano category. The desired degree of telenursing service ranged from 48.37% to 80.86%, the better values (satisfaction) were between 57.09% and 67.56%, and the worse values (dissatisfaction) were between 11.92% and 37.93%. The items, remote one-button emergency caller and remote emergency assistance arrangement, were considered to be one-dimensional qualities by empty nesters and the rest were attractive qualities. In the quadrant analysis diagram, all the remote care services were categorized as attractive qualities. Discussion: The community-dwelling empty-nest elderly with ADL independence or mild impairment have positive attitudes toward telenursing services, especially the needs of remote first aid nursing. Medical policy makers and nursing managers can provide targeted telenursing services according to empty nesters' requirements, thus improving nursing care quality and satisfaction of the elderly.

Abstract
Hot spring or hot spa bathing (Onsen) is a traditional therapy for the treatment of certain ailments. There is a common belief that hot spring bathing has therapeutic effects for wound healing, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. To examine this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of Nagano hot spring water (rich in carbonate ion, 42°C) on the healing process of the skin using a nude rat skin wound model. We found that hot spring bathing led to an enhanced healing speed compared to both the unbathed and hot-water (42°C) control groups. Histologically, the hot spring water group showed increased vessel density and reduced inflammatory cells in the granulation tissue of the wound area. Real-time RT-PCR analysis along with zymography revealed that the wound area of the hot spring water group exhibited a higher expression of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and -9 compared to the two other control groups. Furthermore, we found that the enhanced wound healing process induced by the carbonate ion-enriched hot spring water was mediated by thermal insulation and moisture maintenance. Our results provide the evidence that carbonate ion-enriched hot spring water is beneficial for the treatment of skin wounds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy and probabilities of different fetal ultrasound parameters to predict neonatal outcome in isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2010, we evaluated prospectively 108 fetuses with isolated CDH (82 left-sided and 26 right-sided). The following parameters were evaluated: gestational age at diagnosis, side of the diaphragmatic defect, presence of polyhydramnios, presence of liver herniated into the fetal thorax (liver-up), lung-to-head ratio (LHR) and observed/expected LHR (o/e-LHR), observed/expected contralateral and total fetal lung volume (o/e-ContFLV and o/e-TotFLV) ratios, ultrasonographic fetal lung volume/fetal weight ratio (US-FLW), observed/expected contralateral and main pulmonary artery diameter (o/e-ContPA and o/e-MPA) ratios and the contralateral vascularization index (Cont-VI). The outcomes were neonatal death and severe postnatal pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). RESULTS Neonatal mortality was 64.8% (70/108). Severe PAH was diagnosed in 68 (63.0%) cases, of which 63 died neonatally (92.6%) (P < 0.001). Gestational age at diagnosis, side of the defect and polyhydramnios were not associated with poor outcome (P > 0.05). LHR, o/e-LHR, liver-up, o/e-ContFLV, o/e-TotFLV, US-FLW, o/e-ContPA, o/e-MPA and Cont-VI were associated with both neonatal death and severe postnatal PAH (P < 0.001). Receiver-operating characteristics curves indicated that measuring total lung volumes (o/e-TotFLV and US-FLW) was more accurate than was considering only the contralateral lung sizes (LHR, o/e-LHR and o/e-ContFLV; P < 0.05), and Cont-VI was the most accurate ultrasound parameter to predict neonatal death and severe PAH (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Evaluating total lung volumes is more accurate than is measuring only the contralateral lung size. Evaluating pulmonary vascularization (Cont-VI) is the most accurate predictor of neonatal outcome. Estimating the probability of survival and severe PAH allows classification of cases according to prognosis.

Abstract
Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor characterized by proliferating lymph vessels and composed of large cyst spaces with endothelium-lined channels of varying dimensions. The incidence of lymphangioma is approximately one in 6000 pregnancies. Less than 1% of lymphangiomas are purely mediastinal. The great majority of cases are of cystic lymphangioma, but very rarely there is a mixed lesion consisting of multiple cysts of dilated capillary and lymph vessels. We report a case of posterior mediastinal lymphangioma diagnosed at 28 weeks' gestation, in which three-dimensional ultrasonography was helpful in determining the precise location of the tumor. A Cesarean section was performed at 39 weeks and the tumor was resected on the 5(th) day postdelivery; histological examination revealed a mixed cystic lymphangioma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The risk factors for secondary stomach carcinogenesis after distal gastrectomy have not been evaluated in detail. METHODS Using gastrointestinal endoscopy, we examined 112 patients who had undergone gastrectomy. Biopsy specimens were taken from the stoma and the upper corpus mucosa in the remnant stomach to examine the associations among Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection, bile reflux, and the expressions of interleukin-8 (IL-8), cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), and trefoil factor family 1 (TFF1) genes in the stomach mucosa. RESULTS The IL-8 levels in the corpus mucosa were significantly higher in the H.pylori-positive patients than in the H.pylori-negative patients (P = 0.015). The IL-8 levels were significantly higher in the stomal mucosa than in the corpus mucosa in the H.pylori-positive patients (P = 0.047). The COX-2 levels in the corpus mucosa tended to be higher in the H.pylori-positive patients, but these levels were not significantly different in the stoma mucosa. The COX-2 levels in the corpus were significantly higher after Billroth II (BII) anastomosis than after Billroth I (BI) anastomosis (P = 0.041). TFF1 expression in the stoma was higher in the H.pylori-positive patients than in the H.pylori-negative patients, but the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Both H.pylori infection and bile reflux increased IL-8 levels after BI anastomosis. Furthermore, COX-2 levels were higher after BII than after BI anastomosis. These indicators will become useful not only as biomarkers to predict the degree of inflammation in the stomach mucosa, but also as surrogate biomarkers to predict the risk of secondary stomach carcinogenesis in the remnant stomach mucosa.

Abstract
The important factors that influence the progress of ischemic cardiac lesion are blood flow condition and abnormal cardiac metabolism. Myocardial ischemia is promoted by either an increase in oxygen demand or a shortage of oxygen supply. The Na(+)-Ca(++) ion exchange mechanism is very important for myocardial contraction and cell damage. Na(+)-K(+)ATPase and Ca(++)ATPase are enzyme histochemically localized in subsarcolemmal cisterns, sarcolemmal reticulum and capillary endothelium, and keep myocardial function. These ATPases are impaired by anoxia, superoxides and free radicals. The reduction of O(2) results in the production of superoxides as well as hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). H(2)O(2) is highly diffusible and induces cell damage. H(2)O(2) appears to affect not only lipids but also intramembranous proteins embedded in the cell membrane. The hydroxyl radical (OH) also participates in lipid hyperoxidation. In the pathogenesis of ischemic and/or reperfused heart disease, ischemia induces rapid or gradual changes in all membrane systems and causes reversible or irreversible injury including necrotic and apoptotic cell death. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulation induced by diabetic conditioning is an etiologic factor inducing cardiomyopathy. The AGEs protein affects cell changes such as increased number, transformation, functional disturbance and cytokine elimination. In coronary arteries, the migration of smooth muscle cells caused by the taking up of AGEs proteins through the receptor (RAGE), and cytokine discharge are suggested. AGEs accumulation may induce diabetic macroangiopathy through RAGE, and the increase in the level of RAGE expression by endothelial cells could be a reason that diabetes mellitus accelerates atherosclerosis. On the other hand, we also reported that hyperglycemia was a promoting factor of ischemic heart injury in diabetic animals. Ischemic preconditioning is a useful phenomenon that limits myocardial damage. We foused on protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium (mitoK(ATP)) channel as mediator or end which effector are necessary for adaptation. The opening of the mitoK(ATP) channel induces the depolarization of mitochondria, reducing Ca(++)overload during reperfusion. The regeneration of myocardial cells is confirmed using embryonic stem cells. Myocardial cells that exhibit self-pulsation are generated from mesenchymal stem cells in mesodermal tissues of the bone marrow.

Abstract
Although clinical diabetes mellitus is obviously a high risk factor for myocardial infarction, there is disagreement about the sensitivity of ischemic injury of an infarcted myocardium in experimental studies. The present study evaluated the influences of different durations of hyperglycemia on ischemic and reperfusion injuries of the myocardium, and focused on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), which plays an important role in the intracellular signaling pathway and is reported to be associated with myocardial protection against heart injury. Short- and long-term hyperglycemias were induced in rats by streptozotocin (STZ) injection and the rats were examined 4 (4WDM) and 20 weeks (20WDM) after the treatment. Ischemia and reperfusion were induced by occlusion and reperfusion (I/R) of the left coronary artery (LCA). I/R-induced infarct size was determined using triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. After 20 weeks of STZ treatment (20WDM+I/R), the infarct size in the rat heart increased by 65.2 +/- 4.3%, whereas after 4 weeks of STZ treatment (4WDM+I/R), the infarct size decreased compared with the time-matched I/R group (43.1 +/- 3.6% and 59.5 +/- 5.6%, respectively). The number of dead myocytes including necrotic and apoptotic cells was determined using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and terminal deoxynucleotide nick-end labeling (TUNEL) methods. The number of dead myocytes decreased in the 4WDM+I/R group, while the number of dead myocytes increased markedly in the 20WDM+I/R group, compared with the time-matched I/R group. The increment of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the 4WDM group and the slight enhancement of this phosphorylation by I/R treatment were observed by western blotting. However, in the 20WDM group, the level of ERK1/2 phosphorylation reduced by approximately 1/3 compared with the time-matched control group; moreover, I/R treatment did not enhance the phosphorylation level. This study demonstrated that short- and long-term hyperglycemias exert opposite influences on ischemic myocardial injury, and these contradictory influences may depend on an ERK1/2-mediated intracellular signaling pathway.

Abstract
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 is an important intracellular proteinase associated with myocardial protection against heart injury. Hyperglycemia was also reported to be highly involved in heart injury by the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in myocardial protein, resulting in its altered structure and function. However, the effect of this glycation on mitogen-activated protein kinases, particularly ERK1/2, in the myocardium is largely unclarified. In this study, we investigated whether the glycation of an intracellular protein, ERK1/2, would result in ERK1/2-AGEs formation that adversely affects ERK1/2 activation in the rat heart under hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia was induced by injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and hearts were examined 4 and 20 weeks after STZ treatment. By immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting, it was determined that the level of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in the rat heart under hyperglycemia 20 weeks after STZ treatment decreased markedly by about 50% of that of the time-matched control group, whereas in the case of 4 weeks after STZ treatment, it increased by about 2.7-fold that of the time-matched group. The level of deposition of AGEs in proteins of the myocardium increased significantly depending on the duration of hyperglycemia. Twenty weeks after STZ treatment, two clear bands corresponding to 44- and 42-kDa AGEs were detected by Western blotting: these corresponded to protein sizes of ERK1/2. The immunoprecipitation method further confirmed the formation and the increased intensity of ERK1/2-AGEs in the rat heart under hyperglycemia for 20 weeks. These results demonstrate that long-term hyperglycemia may inhibit ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the myocardium, whereas a short-term (4 weeks) hyperglycemia enhances its phosphorylation. The ERK1/2 phosphorylation under long-term hyperglycemia is very different from that under short-term hyperglycemia. In addition, this inhibition of ERK1/2 activation appears to be dependent on the formation of ERK1/2-AGEs under long-term hyperglycemia, which may be related in part to the etiology of diabetic cardiomyopathy. It also suggests that the formation of AGEs in intracellular enzymes and proteins under hyperglycemia could play important roles in the development of diabetes complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mitochondrial K(ATP) (mitoK(ATP)) channel has been shown to confer short- and long-term cardioprotection against prolonged ischemia via protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathways. However, the exact association between PKC or its isoforms and mitoK(ATP) channels has not yet been clarified. The present study tested the hypothesis that the activity and translocation of PKC to the mitochondria are important for cardiac protection elicited by mitoK(ATP) channels. Methods and Results-PKC was downregulated by prolonged (24-hour) treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (4 microgram/kg body weight) before subsequent experiments in rats. Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were subjected to 40 minutes of ischemia followed by 30 minutes of reperfusion. Effects of PKC downregulation on the activation of mitoK(ATP) channels and other interventions on hemodynamic, biochemical, and pathological changes were assessed. Subcellular localization of PKC isoforms by Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry demonstrated that PKC-alpha and PKC-delta were translocated to the sarcolemma and that PKC-delta was translocated to the mitochondria after diazoxide treatment. In hearts treated with diazoxide (80 micromol/L), a significant improvement in cardiac function and an attenuation of cell injury were observed. In PKC-downregulated hearts, protection was abolished because mitoK(ATP) channels could not be activated by diazoxide. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that PKC activation is required for the opening of mitoK(ATP) channels during protection against ischemia and that this effect is linked to isoform-specific translocation of PKC-delta to the mitochondria.

Abstract
Lumican belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family and has an important role in the regulation of corneal and dermal collagen fiber assembly. Recently, lumican mRNA was found in the heart and its high expression was reported during wound healing of the cornea. In the present study, the expression and role of lumican in fibrosis of an ischemic and reperfused rat heart were examined. The expression level of lumican mRNA increased in the ischemic and reperfused rat heart and was highest on the fourth week. Lumican protein existed in the forms of core protein and proteoglycan in the control rat heart. The amount of lumican in the form of proteoglycan increased, and that as the form glycoprotein was newly detected in the ischemic and reperfused rat heart on the fourth week. In the control heart, lumican was weakly expressed in the collagen fibers of the perivascular area, but it was expressed strongly in many capillary endothelial cells in the ischemic lesion on day 1. After 3 days, lumican was localized in collagen fibers and in the fibroblasts of fibrotic lesions. A few myocardial cells close to the ischemic lesion expressed lumican mRNA. Lumican is considered to play an important role in the fibrillogenesis of the ischemic and reperfused rat heart.

Abstract
The present work illustrates the critical subcellular changes in the rat heart after 10-30 min of left coronary artery (LCA) occlusion and 120 min of reperfusion with a combination of several staining techniques. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) to detect non-injured myocytes, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and terminal deoxynucleotide nick-end labeling (TUNEL) to detect necrotic and apoptotic cells were employed and electron microscopy (EM) was used to validate these changes. After 20 min of LCA occlusion, myocytes began to undergo necrosis whilst after 10 min occlusion, no myocyte underwent irreversible cell injury in the risk area. After 30 min of LCA occlusion and 120 min reperfusion, 36.3, 26.6 and 25% cells were normal, necrotic, and reversibly injured, respectively; the remaining 12.8% cells were apoptotic. Necrotic cells were strongly positive with HRP and negative for TTC and TUNEL. TUNEL-positive or apoptotic cells were slightly HRP-positive, indicating altered cell membrane permeability. Reversibly-injured myocytes were TTC-, HRP- and TUNEL-negative. These changes were more accurately defined in the 100- microm thick sections than in the traditional slices. It is concluded that: (1) TTC-staining of 100- microm thick sections is far superior and accurate for the detection of ischemic changes with shorter period of ischemia (10 min); (2) the combination of TTC-staining, HRP reaction and TUNEL method is excellent for demarcation of early ischemic changes; (3) TTC-negativity in ischemia less than 20 min does not indicate necrosis but only represents reversible changes; (4) the apoptosis is absent in early ischemia of 20 min with or without reperfusion at a time when sufficient ATP is present, and appears only after 30 min of coronary ligation and reperfusion; and (5) the apoptotic cells lose membrane integrity accompanied by decreased glycocalyx thickness and cell swelling as opposed to commonly known characteristics of apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Activation of mitochondrial K(ATP) (mitoK(ATP)) channel induces acute ischemic preconditioning (PC) against ischemic injury. The ability of this channel to elicit late PC remains unknown. The present study tests the hypothesis that stimulation of mitoK(ATP) channel induces late PC via the protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathway. Rats were subjected to 30 minutes of regional ischemia and 120 minutes of reperfusion (I/R). In other groups, rats were pretreated with diazoxide, a specific opener of the mitoK(ATP) channel (7 mg/kg, IV), 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours before they were subjected to I/R. A maximum reduction in infarct size was observed after 24 hours (33.3+/-2.2% versus I/R group, 62.1 +/-2.4%). Pretreatment with diazoxide did not reduce the infarct size significantly after 12, 48, and 72 hours (50.2+/-4.3%, 50.5+/-4.6%, and 58.2+/-4.9%) compared with the I/R group. The protection was blocked with 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD, 5 mg/kg IV), a relatively selective mitoK(ATP) channel blocker (56.5+/-2.7%), and chelerythrine (5 mg/kg IV), an effective PKC inhibitor (57.1+/-3.4%) administered either on the first day before diazoxide pretreatment or 10 minutes before I/R on the second day. Cell necrosis was decreased by approximately 50% in the diazoxide preconditioned hearts compared with control I/R hearts. Cell death by apoptosis was also significantly decreased in diazoxide pretreated hearts (3.2%) as compared with I/R (11.3%). In conclusion, activation of mitoK(ATP) channel with diazoxide produces late PC against reperfusion injury. The effect of mitoK(ATP) channel appears to be dependent on the PKC-mediated signal pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the role of heat shock proteins (HSP) in the cell cycle and various processes of carcinogenesis. METHODS Immunohistochemical SP methods, electron microscopy, in situ hybridization and RT-PCR were used to evaluate the expression of HSP, mainly HSP90, ubiquitin and HSP70 in breast cancer tissues. RESULTS HSP90 mRNA was expressed at much higher levels in cancerous tissue than in non-cancerous tissues. In addition, a close relation between HSP90 mRNA expression and proliferating cell nuclear antigen labelling index (PCNA L. I.) was observed in cancerous tissue. These findings suggest that increased expression of HPS90 isoform may play a role in cell proliferation. On the other hand, HSP90 mRNA was expressed in the more poorly differentiated carcinomas of the breast. The intracellular localization of HSP70 was consistent with that of ubiquitin. The PCNA L. I. was significantly higher in specimens showing HSP70 in nucleus. HSP73 mRNA, a member of HSP70 family, was also expressed at higher levels in cancerous tissues associated with a high PCNA L. I. than in non-cancerous tissues. CONCLUSION These results suggest that HSP90 may play a role in cancer cell proliferation and that HSP90 may contribute to cell differentiation and structural constitution. In addition, HSP70, especially HSP73, is related to ubiquetin and seems to be a marker for cancer proliferation.

Abstract
Macroscopic and immunohistochemical observations were made to clarify the innervation of normal pancreatic tissues, and the clinicopathological and electron-microscopic findings of 33 cases of pancreatic cancer were obtained. The results showed that the innervation of both the head and the body of the pancreas mainly consisted of nerve fibers separated from the right celiac neuroganglion and the right half of the superior mesenteric arterial plexus. The pancreas was full of nerve fibers ending at acinar lobules, among which the adrenergic nerves commonly control the walls of blood vessels. Pancreatic cancer tends to be accompanied by invasion and metastasis along intra or extra-pancreatic nerves, and we found that the positive rates for invasion and metastasis were 73.33% and 60.00%, respectively. The follow-up study revealed that the nerve-invasion group had worse prognosis than the non-invasion group (P < 0.05). The approaches of the invasions of the nerves were as follows: (1) through the vessels of the perineurium; (2) through the perineurium; and (3) through the synaptic membrane of nerve endings. The invasion were a continuous process, often resulting in the destruction or even the disappearance of the normal structure of the nerve fibers. The above results suggest that there are plentiful vegetative nerves inside or outside the pancreas and that pancreatic cancers have a tendency of invading and metastasizing along or around nerves.
