Objective To study the effect of new barrel theory in improving evaluation of hospitalized patients. Methods Eight hundred hospitalized patients from September 2012 to August 2013 were randomized equally into the control group and the observation group.The last one or two items affecting patient satisfaction from the control group were used as objectives to be improved.Causal effect analysis was done pertinent to the items and the worksheet was bettered and improved and then enforced.The two groups were compared after intervention with new barrel theory in terms of satisfaction of patients during admission and discharge. Result The satisfaction of patients in the observation group during admission and discharge was significantly better than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The new barrel theory used to detect the flaws in nursing service and improve the workflow can improve assessment from the patients so that the management quality can be enhanced.

Objective To study the relationship between nitric oxide(NO)and some cytokines and the pathogenesis of vitiligo.Methods Nitric acid reductase assay and ELISA were used to determine the serum levels of NO,and IFN-?,IL-10and IL-12in32patients with vitiligo,compared with18normal controls.The levels of these molecules in suction blister fluids,including involved skin and uninvolved skin from20patients,were also determined.Results The serum levels of NO and IFN-?in vitiligo patients were significantly higher than those in controls,and the serum level of IL-10in the patients was significantly lower than that in controls.The serum level of IFN-?in generalized type of vitiligo and the serum level of NO in localized type of vitiligo in active stage were higher than those in stable stage.The NO level in suction blister fluid of localized vitiligo of involved skin was significantly higher than that of uninvolved skin.Conclusion These findings suggest that NO,IFN-?and IL-10might be involved in the pathogenesis of vitiligo.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency and toxicities of Gemcitabine combined with S -1 cap-sule in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer .Methods Twenty-nine patients with advanced esophageal cancer were treated with S-1 capsule 80 mg/m2 ,twice daily for 14 days and Gemcitabine (1 000 mg/m2 ) was in-travenously administrated on day 1 and 8.The chemotherapy was repeated every 21 days.After two consecutive treatment circles ,the short term efficacy ,adverse effects and follow -up condition were evaluated .Results One case showed complete remission (CR),11cases showed partial remission (PR),9 cases showed stable disease (SD),8 cases showed progressive disease(PD).The responsive rate(CR+PR)was 41.4%;the illness control rate(CR+PR+SD)was 72.4%.The major adverse events were myelosuppression ranging from grade Ⅰto Ⅲ, hand-foot syndrome,disgusting and the damage of liver function .Some patients displayed the damage of liver function.The median time to progress ( mTTP) was 6.9 months.The median 1-year survival rate was 64.3%. Conclusion The combination of Gemcitabine and S -1 capsule is an effective and well -tolerated method for the patients with advanced esophageal cancer .

Objective To examine the practice and value of comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)in geriatric care by conducting comprehensive evaluation of hospitalized elderly patients.Methods CGA was carried out in 91 hospitalized patients at our hospital from July 2015 to October 2015.Patients aged 65-75(6 cases),76-85(38 cases)and >85-99 years(47 cases)were assigned into three Groups.The incidence of geriatric syndromes ineach age group was calculated,and characteristics of geriatric syndromes among the patients were analyzed.ResultsFrailty had the highest incidence among all age groups 69(64.8%).In Group 65-75 years old,pain was mostfrequently reported 2(33.3%);in Group 76-85 years old,the three most frequent syndromes were frailty,dementiaand falls;in Group 85-99 years old,frailty,polypharracy and rnalnutrition occurred most often.Up to 37.4%% of the patients showed coexistence of 3-4 common geriatric syndromes,and only 14.2% of the patients had none Conclusions Frailty,dementia,falls,polypharrnacy,and malnutrition are the most common geriatric syndromes in hospitalized elderly patients.Coexistence of multiple geriatric syndromes is common among these patients.

Objective To approach the value of MR urography (MRU) in diagnosis of congenital renal dysplasia in children.Methods 13 children with congenital renal dysplasia and renal inadequacy were examined by routine MRI and MRU with heavy T_2 weighted single stimulation fast spin echo sequences.Results The congenital atopic dysplastic rens located at pelvis in one case and at below nephritic pit in one case were not detected by MR imaging and original MRU images,respectively.Multicystic dysplastic kidney could be well showed by MRU MIP images, but the cases with clubbed renal pelvis were not well demonstrated by MRU. All cases and the complications were correctly diagnosed by routine MRI, original MRU and MRU MIP images.Conclusion MR urography in combination with routine MRI is of important value in diagnosing congenital renal dysplasia in children.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Compound glycyrrhizin on serum VEGF of patients with alopecia areata. METHODS:36 alopecia areata patients were selected as trial group and treated with Compound glycyrrhizin(50 mg/time,3 times/d) for 3 months. Double-antibody sandwich ELISA method was adopted to determine the content of VEGF in serum before and after treatment. 36 healthy volunteers were included in control group,and serum content of VEGF in control group was compared with trial group. RESULTS:Compared with control group,the serum content of VEGF was lower in trial group,with statistical signifi-cance(t=5.863,P<0.05). After treatment,the serum VEGF levels of trial group increased,with statistical significance(t=4.351, P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in VEGF levels between trial group and control group after treatment(t=1.678,P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound glycyrrhizin can cure alopecia areata through increasing serum level of VEGF.

Objective:To investigate the present situation of humanity education for medical students and to provide theoretical evidence for establishing appropriate interventions. Methods:This paper surveyed and analyzed the present situation of humanity education for medical students in a medical university using questionnaires. Re-sults:18. 7% of medical students entirely remembered the specific content of Hippocratic Oath, 7. 3% of medical students had never heard about the concepts such as humanistic quality, 31. 7% of medical students had never bor-rowed humanity and social science books from the school library, 79. 3% of medical students thought it necessary to strengthen humanity education. Some results showed that there were significant differences in different grades and specialties. Conclusion:It is necessary to further strengthen humanity education for medical students, improve the quality of humanity curriculum, and make a fusion of humanity education and the medical professional education. At the meantime, the humanity courses should be increased and the educational program should be diversified.
