Main purpose of the work is to evaluate the peculiarities of nursing of surgical site infection in cardiosurgery. Methods. The questionnaire, interview, documentary and statistical analysis. The questionnaire was made by themselves, sustaining literature and foreign research analysis. Objectives. During the study was made two grups of object. One was 40 nurses working in Clinics of Medical University of Kaunas in section of cardio or common surgery. The second grup were the patients who had wound infection and were healed and examined at Clinics of Cardio surgery of Medical University of Kaunas. Results. During the study were forthcoming that both of section nurses do the function of technic nursing. The contact with the patient and teahcing is not popular. The cardio surgery nurses has these prioritires: pain control, the isoliation of the patient. The nurses from the common surgery has these prioritires: monitoring of fever and the observation of the common patients condition. During the study the patient pointed the demand of knowledge (about prevention of infection (66,6 %), the ways of infection spread (46,6 %)). Only about 40 precentage of the patient would like to go to the training. The results of study also showed that about 33,3 precentage of patient dont use any means of prevention and dont know the reasons of it. Conclusions. There was found that statistical diferences of the nursing action are: the observation of the common patients condition (p < 0,01)... [to full text]

Physiological electric fields (EFs) have been measured in many developing and regenerating systems and are modulated spatially, temporally and in magnitude.  Many types of cells polarize and migrate in specific directions when exposed to a small applied EF similar in magnitude to those found endogenously.  In the present investigation, an endogenous EF was recorded in an aortic explant.  The response of three EPCs (MFLM-4, AEL-deltaR1 and AEL-deltaR1/Runx1), one endothelial cell line (HUVEC) and five other cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MTLn-3, HEK-293, COS-7 and CHO) in physiological EFs were shown.  The roles of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels in the EFs directed cell migration were studied.  The roles of intracellular calcium, intracellular calcium stores, purinergic signalling and gap junction communication in the intracellular calcium rising, calcium wave propagation and re-endothelialization were studied too.  In conclusion, electrical signalling between cells and ionic fluxes in cells are important controlling mechanisms of endothelial behaviours.  Electric fields and ionic fluxes regulate migration of endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells.  Orchestrated endothelial behaviours and recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells repair injuries to endothelium, and may lead to angiogenesis.  Manipulation of electric fields and control of ionic fluxes may be a promising approach to control endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis.
