Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of falls self-efficacy among the stroke elderly patients.Methods Totally 170 elderly stroke patients were investigated using the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES),and they were tested with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Time Up and Go Test (TUGT).Results The average score of falls self-efficacy was 108.There were 50.6％ elderly stroke patients assigned to the group with low falls self-efficacy.Multiple Logistic regression analysis indicated that impairments of balance and mobility,severe stroke-related disability were the independent influencing factors associated with FOF,which could explain 52.0％ of variations.Conclusions Low falls self-efficacy among the stroke elderly patients is a common complaint,nurses and physicians should focus on this problem,interventions combining exercise and education of accidental falls should be taken to improve falls self-efficacy of elderly stroke patients,and prevent falls finally.

Objective To explore the effectiveness,feasibility and suitability of the guideline for nasogastric tube feeding in adult patients.Methods Based on the Ottawa Model of Research Use as framework,we screened relevant evidence from guidelines,and developed new nasogastric tube feeding nursing procedure.Nursing knowledge,the rate of compliance to new procedure and the incidence of complications of nasogastric tube feeding were used to evaluate the clinical effects of the guideline.Results Nurses' knowledge increased significantly(P＜0.05).Nurses had a high degree of implementation of the new procedure,with the rate of over 85％.Compared with the control group,the rate of complications of nasogastric tube feeing in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group.Especially,the rates of reflux and aspiration were significantly lower(P＜0.05).Both rates of tube shedding and skin damage in the intervention group were decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion The nasal feeding nursing guideline in our clinical scenarios has its effectiveness,feasibility and suitability.

Objective To investigate the value of clinical characteristics in diagnosis of vocal fold paralysis (VFP) and arytenoid dislocation .Methods Eighty - eight patients of VFP and 27 patients of arytenoid dislocation were studied , by comparing the causes , laryngeal morphologic characteristics and laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) .Results The causes of 88 VFP patients included surgery (45 cases) ,neck trauma(2 cases) ,idiopathic causes(16 cases) ,infection(16 cases) ,and tumor invasion - related(9 cases) .Of the 27 arytenoid dislocation pa‐tients ,24 had a history of endotracheal intubation and the others had a history of gastric tube insertion .The vocal folds were mostly fixed at the paramedian position ,followed by the abducent position and the median position .No significant differences were found in laryngeal morphologic characteristics between the two groups ,including vocal fold shape , glottis vertical symmetry , mucosal waves , supraglottic compensation , glottis closure and arytenoid movement .The LEMG of VFP patients appeared as denervation patterns ,reinnervation potentials ,or electrical si‐lence ;the recruitment patterns appeared as mix or simple patterns ;the evoked potentials were absent .Of the VFP patients ,54 cases(61 .36% % )were found synkinesis of involved posterior cricoarytenoid and two of them also in ‐volved thyroatenoid .The patients with synkinesis had lower percentage of vocal fold bowing and higher percentage of glottic vertical asymmetry compared to the ones without synkinesis .Of the VFP patients whose cause was surgery or neck trauma ,the median - position fixed vocal folds were mostly observed in the patients with duration of less than 1 month or with synkinesis .Of the 27 arytenoid dislocation patients ,20(74 .07% )showed normal LEMG pat‐terns and 7(25 .93% )showed apparent LEMG abnormality on the affected side .Conclusion The causes of vocal fold paralysis and arytenoid dislocation are different .Laryngeal morphologic characteristics have limitations in distinguis‐hing vocal fold paralysis from arytenoid dislocation .The shape and position of involved vocal folds of the VFP pa‐tients are correlated with duration ,nerve regeneration and synkinesis .

OBJECTIVE: To determine ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re in Jiangshen Capsules by HPLC simultaneously. METHODS: The separation was performed on Kromasil-C18 column, the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 05% H3PO4 solution ( 21∶ 79) with flow rate of 1. 0mL? min-1 and detection wavelength of 203nm. RESULTS: The linear ranges of ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re were 0. 502～ 4. 016? g( r=0. 999 7) and 1. 090～ 8. 720? g( r=0. 999 8) , respectively, with average recovery at 98. 8% ( RSD=1. 24% ) and 99. 4% ( RSD=1. 68% ) , respectively. CONCLUSION: This method is simple, rapid, accurate and reliable, and suitable for the quality control of Jiangshen Capsules.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence and risk factors of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) of pediatric patients with severe bacterial pneumonia.MethodsClinical data of 1086 pediatric patients with severe bacterial pneumonia from January 2010 through January 2014 were recruited. The incidence and risk factors of AAD were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe incidence of AAD in 1086 pediatric patients with severe bacterial pneumonia was 36.74%. The incidence of AAD in patients younger than 2 years old were higher than that in those older than 2 years, once or more times of mechanical venti-lation history were higher than that with no arrangements of this treatment, administering of combined antibiotics therapy were higher than that with single antibiotics, and the incidence of AAD due to amoxicillin/clavulanate, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefo- perazone/sulbactam in pediatric patients were 43.55%, 43.75%, and 45.03%, respectively. Three β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors above were risk factors of AAD through multivariate Logistic regression analysis.ConclusionThe high incidence of AAD in pediatric patients with severe bacterial pneumonia was associated with some risk factors, including younger than 2 years old, me-chanical ventilation, combined antibiotics therapy and administration of β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (amoxicillin/clavulanate, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam).
