Objective To explore the method of comfort nursing in patients with nasogastric feeding and observe the influence on enhancement of patients satisfaction degree. Methods Case control study Was used in 162 conscious patients with nasogastric feeding.80 patients from January 2005 to January 2006 were selected as control group and given routine nursing.82 patients from February 2006 to May 2007 were named as the test group and received confort nursing.The satisfaction degree of patients, injury of nasal mucosa, shedding rate of the gastric tube and aspiration rate were investigated with self-designed discomfort questionnaires. Results The satisfaction degree in the test group Was 63.41%,which was higher than that of the control(40.00%,P<0.01).The rate of nasal mucosa injury, shedding of the gastric tube and aspiration rate were lower in the test group(1.22%,2.44%,1.22%)than those in the control group(8.75%,10.00%,7.50%,P<0.05).Conclusion The application of comfort nursing in patients with nasogastric feeding contributed to the enhancement of satisfaction degree of patients and nursing quality.

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy of Mepilex surgical dressing in prevention of pressure sore. Methods 46 patients with high risk factors and Norton grading lower than 10 point were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 23 patients in each group. The control group was given reduction of local pressure, protection of the skin, nutritional support and other conventional measures to prevent pressure sore. Besides conventional nursing measures, the experimental group was given Mepilex to cover the bone eminence place, replaced every 7~10 days. The occurrence and development of the pressure sore was observed on the second, fourth, sixth and eighth week after admission. Results The occurrence rate of the experimental group on the sixth week was 4.55%, and the control group was 26.09%,the difference had statistical significance. The cure rate of the two groups showed no difference on the eighth week. Conclusions Application of Mepilex to treat patients with high risk of pressure sore has good effect.

ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of subglottic secretion drainage for preventing ventilatorassociated pneumonia.MethodsData of relevant randomized controlled trials (RCT) from January 1991 to June 2010 were collected,and data were split into two groups,namely draining group and non-draining group.Meta analysis of ventilator-associated pneumonia was carried out for finding the incidence and mortality in patients with mechanical ventilation using the methods recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration.ResultsSeven RCTs met the inclusion criteria and 1647 patients were enrolled.Subglottic secretion drainage reduced the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia ( OR =0.45,95% confidence interval [CI]:0.32 - 0.63 ),primarily by reducing early-onset pneumonia.But the mortalities of ventilator associated pneumonia were not significantly different between the two groups ( OR =1.03,95% confi dence interval [CI]:0.75 - 1.41 ).ConclusionsSubglottic secretion drainage appeared effective in preventing ventilator associated pneumonia among patients expected to require >48 hours of mechanical ventilation,but the mortality was unchanged.

Objective To investigate the in vitro effects of acitretin on the apoptosis and expressions of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in HaCaT cells.Methods Cultured HaCaT cells were treated with various concentrations (10-5,10-64,10-7,10-8 mol/L) of acitretin for various durations,with those cultured in acitretin-free medium serving as the control group.Then,CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate the proliferation of cells after 24-,48-and 72-hour treatment,flow cytometry to detect the apoptosis of HaCaT cells,and Western blot and reverse transcription-PCR to quantify the protein and mRNA expressions of IGFBP7 and VEGF in HaCaT cells,respectively,after 48-hour treatment.Statistical analysis was carried out by one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis.Results The proliferation of HaCaT cells was inhibited by the treatment with acitretin,and the inhibitory effect increased with the elevation of concentration and prolongation of treatment duration of acitretin.A significant decrease was observed in the proliferative activity of HaCaT cells treated with acitretin of 10-8 mol/L for 48 hours,and when the concentration of acitretin was 10-5 mol/L,the proliferation of HaCaT cells was inhibited by 39.94% ± 2.27% and 49.77% ± 1.87% at 48 and 72 hours respectively,compared with the control cells.The HaCaT cells treated with acitretin of 10-5 mol/L for 48 hours showed a significant elevation in apoptosis rate (7.617% ± 0.767% vs.1.803% ± 0.313%,P < 0.05),IGFBP7 protein and mRNA expressions (0.939 ± 0.040 vs.0.436 ± 0.013,0.872 ± 0.079 vs.0.190 ± 0.056,both P < 0.05),but a significant reduction in VEGF protein and mRNA expressions (0.213 ± 0.032 vs.0.798 ± 0.036,0.274 ± 0.041 vs.0.933 ± 0.054,both P < 0.05) in comparison to the control cells.Conclusions Acitretin can induce the apoptosis of HaCaT cells,and up-regulate IGFBP7 but down-regulate VEGF expressions in HaCaT cells at protein and mRNA levels.
