Objective To study the effects of home nursing on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods One hundred and eighty patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia meeting our experimental conditions were selected. They were divided into experimental group and comparative group. The experimental group had 82 cases and the average age was 68.5 ?1.2 yrs, the comparative group had 98 cases and the average age was 66.8?0.8. The first prevalence survey was carried out including history of past illnesses, international prostate symptom score, quality of life assessment, customs of life, habits of diet, circumstances of medicine and statuses of psychology. The patients of experimental group received home nursing including psychology nursing, directions of medication, reformations of customs in life and diet, strength in body exercise and kinesitherapy. The patients of comparative group did not receive any nursing measures. After two, four, six months, three prevalence surveys were carried out. At the end of each time, the data were collected and statistical treatments were processed. Results The IPSS rates of improvement in experimental group were 14.6% , 31.7% , and 52.4% . The QOL rates of improvement in experimental group were 12.2% , 34.2% , 57.3% . The IPSS rates of improvement in comparative group were 4.0%, 10.0%, 18.4%. The QOL rates of improvement in comparative group were 3.1%, 13.3%, 16.3%. There was statistical differences between two groups in international prostate symptom score and quality of life assessment (P

Objective To parse the concept of self-management in the context of coronary heart disease based on the content analysis,to clarify the connotation of the concept of self-management.Methods Thirty-four references were recruited through the databases of CNKI,VIP journals knowledge service platform,Wanfang Data Services Platform and Pubmed.We broke the concept of self-management in the context of coronary heart disease into such three aspects as implementing body,major behavior,and facilitators.Results The most common indicators were symptom management(which was mentioned by 78.57％ of domestic literature and 66.67％ of foreign literature),and protect and promote healthcame second,the person with the chronic diseasewas 42.85％,other indicators' frequency existed differences.The major body of coronary artery disease self-management was the patient itself,with the help of assist staff and using lifestyle management,symptom management,rehabilitation and exercise,environmental control,emotional awareness behavior management and medication to maintain patients' satisfactory functional status.Conclusions To parse the concept of self-management in the context of coronary heart disease can be applied as the basis for clinical nursing research and build an effective reference and guidance for future coronary heart disease self-management model building.

Objective We sought to evaluate the effect of structured health education on quality of life and the end point of patients with coronary disease with evidence-based method.Methods The Cochrane Library,Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR),Medline (OVID),Pubmed and Web of Science were searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCT) which mentioned the structured health education to CHD patients,the quality of the RCTs was evaluated by Jadad Score,then effective data were extracted and analyzed by Meta-analysis with RevMan 5.2 software.Results A total of 12 eligible studies of RCT were included in the study with Jadad Score evaluations at B level or above.There were 20 476 cases in the intervention group,14 522 cases in the control group.Meta-analysis showed that the quality of life scores of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group,weighted mean difference was 3.29,95％ CI (0.49-6.09).No significant difference was found in cardiac morbidity outcomes,re-hospitalization and the mortality rate,relative risk,95％ confidence interval were respectively 0.72(0.50-1.04),0.98(0.86-1.11),0.77(0.58-1.03).Conclusions The structured health education can improve the quality of life of patients with coronary disease,but has no obvious effect on the cardiac morbidity outcomes,re-hospitalization and mortality rate.We suggest transitional care to be carried out in future research to decrease the incidence rates of them.

Objective To investigate the effect of total saponins of panax notoginseng(PNS)on the production of collagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ and TGF-?1 in rats with experimental fibrosis.Methods Experimental fibrosis model was copied by intracutaneous injection of BSA and rats feeding on diet rich in lipid.From the 1st day after BSA injection,SPN(60 or 30 mg/kg)or Colchicine were given intracutaneously once a day for 42 days.All animals were sacrificed on the 43rd day.Their hepatic function was evaluated by determining the levels of ALT,AST,ALB in serum.The progression of hepatic fibrosis was confirmed by pathological analysis.Then type collagenⅠ,Ⅲ and TGF-?1 were observed with immunohistochemical method.Results The BSA injection significantly elevated the levels of ALT and AST,while SPN treatment significantly down-regulated them.But the level of ALB was opposite to that of ALT or AST in SPN treatment group.The positive staining of the collagenⅠ,Ⅲ and TGF-?1 was stronger in hepatic fibrosis model group than in SPN treatment group.The contents of the collagen were identical to the immunohistochemical results.Conclusion SPN has the protective effect against liver fibrosis.

OBJECTIVE To know the bacterial distribution in the blood of septicemia patients and the characteristics of drug resistance.METHODS To train the blood in BD BACTEC 9050 full-automatic blood training system and to analyze it in the FOUTUNE IMS bacterial identification and hypersusceptibility analysis system of Fuxing Company.RESULTS The Gram-negative bacilli were in superiority with 64.9% of the total isolated bacteria.Then were the Gram-positive cocci,and Staphylococcus were the main.The Enterococcus and fungi were with a certain proportion.The drugs to which had relatively low resistance for the Gram-positive bacilli and the Gram-positive cocci were the carbapenems,the enzyme inhibitors and vancomycin.CONCLUSIONS The Gram-negative bacilli get priority in the blood bacteria in patients with septicemia during the last two years,the enterococci and fungi have a certain proportion.And the pathogenic bacteria have higher resistance clinically to antibacterial drugs.

OBJECTIVE:To consolidate the results of special antibacterial drug rectification so as to improve the rational medi-cation of antibacterial drugs. METHODS:By using the method of retrospective analysis,the antibacterial drug application data in 2011(before rectification and initial stage of rectification),2012(middle stage thereof)and 2013(later stage thereof)were sum-marized,compared and analyzed. RESULTS:After special rectification(Jan. 2011 vs. Dec. 2013),the utilization rate of antibacte-rial drugs in perioperative period for class I incision decreased from 80.42% to 24.49%. That of antibacterial drugs in emergency treatment decreased from 53.79% to 36.23%. The examination rate of microbial samples in inpatients who would use special-grade antibacterial drugs increased from 16.12% to 94.17%. The use intensity of antibacterial drugs by inpatients decreased from 70.28 DDDs/(100 persons·d) to 27.44 DDDs/(100 persons·d). The utilization rate of antibacterial drugs by inpatients decreased from 65.99% to 46.45%. CONCLUSIONS:Special rectification has remarkable effects on rational clinical application of antibacterial drugs. Regulation and evaluation should be strengthened to maintain the effects and continuously improvement should be made.

OBJECTIVETo review the clinical features of a families affected with glutaric acidemia type I (GA-1) and screen potential mutations in glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) gene.

METHODSClinical data of the patients and their family members was analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples. The 11 exons and flanking sequences of the GCDH gene were amplified with PCR and subjected to direct DNA sequencing.

RESULTSTwo patients have manifested macrocephaly. Imaging analysis revealed arachnoid cyst and subdural effusion. The elder sister had encephalopathy crisis. The younger sister had significantly raised glutaric acid, whilst the elder sister was normal during the non-acute phase. Genetic analysis has revealed a homozygous c.1244-2A> C mutation of the GCDH gene in both patients.

CONCLUSIONThe clinical features and mutation of the GCDH gene have been delineated in a Chinese family affected with GA-1. The c.1244-2A> C mutation may be particularly common in the Chinese population.

OBJECTIVETo delineate the clinical features and potential mutation of the ATP7A gene in a family affected with Menkes disease.

METHODSClinical data of a patient and his family members were analyzed. Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assays were performed to detect the mutation of the ATP7A gene.

RESULTSThe patient was admitted at the age of 5 months due to severe epilepsy and marked delayed psychomotor development. Significantly light complexion, pudgy cheeks and sparse fuzzy wooly hair were noted. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed cortical atrophy, leukoencephalopathy and circuitous of intracranial vessels. The plasma ceruloplasmin was decreased. MLPA has identified a deletion spanning exons 8 to 12 of the ATP7A gene. His mother was found to be a heterozygous carrier of the same mutation.

CONCLUSIONThe clinical features and a novel mutation of the ATP7A gene of the family have been delineated.
