ObjectiveTo observe the relationship between the mean platelet volume (MPV) and stent thrombosis(ST) in patients after percutaneous coronary interventional procedures (PCI),to determine a concise and high-risk indicator to predict thrombosis in the patients after PCI.MethodsTo determine the MPV from 229 patients after PCI.The patients with MPV significantly increased were sekected as the observation group,the patients with normal MPV were selected as the control group.The stsituation in the two groups of ST was observed.The values in the two grups were analyzed.ResultsThe ST rate of control group was 1.22％,which was lower than that of the observation group(6.15％ )( x2 =4.02,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe value of MPV increased was a risk factor for patients with thrombosis after PCI.Taking effective and timely adjustment of antithrombotic treatment options had an important clinical significance to prevent ST occur in patients after PCI.

Objective To explore the current state-trait anxiety among nurses in children's hospital and supply some scientific references for the decision-making to healthy guidance and occupation behavior for the practioners. Methods Investigations were carried out in 410 female nurses in Guangzhou children's hospital by usage of the state-trate anxiety inventory(STAI).The results were analyzed statistically. Results The STAI of nurses in the children's hospital was higher than that of the norreal control (P ＜ 0.01 ).But no difference existed in the aspect of special anxiety (P ＞ 0.05) between them.The special anxiety of female cadre and technical staff was higher than the nurses in the children's hospital (P ＜ 0.01). Conclusion The high level of state-trait anxiety hinted us that we should pay attention to the anxiety status of nurses in the children's hospitals.

OBJECTIVETo investigate peripheral blood apelin levels in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and their correlation with the one-year outcome of the patients.

METHODSA total of 153 consecutive patients, including 93 with acute STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 30 with acute STEMI and 30 with stable angina all undergoing elective PCI, and 10 healthy control subjects were examined for peripheral blood apelin levels and clinical parameters. The composite endpoints (CEPs) were determined at the one year follow-up.

RESULTSApelin levels were significantly decreased in all the patients at admission, but increased following primary PCI. Apelin levels showed a negative correlation with glycosylated hemoglobin levels. At one year following PCI, the patients with a lower apelin level showed an increased risk for lowered left ventricular ejection fraction ratio, but further analysis failed to provide evidence that apelin levels were predictive of the one-year outcome.

CONCLUSIONPeripheral blood apelin levels might be useful for predicting the clinical outcomes of patients with acute STEMI.

Objective The imaging findings of X-ray defecography(XRD)and magnetic resonance defecog-raphy(MRD)of patients with Solitary Rectal Ulcer syndrome(SRUS)were retrospectively analyzed to provide important information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods 19 patients with SRUS confirmed by clinical,pathological and colonoscopy were included in this study.Among them,15 patients underwent XRD and 7 patients underwent MRD,and 3 patients underwent both XRD and MRD.Data of all enrolled patients were collected and pelvic floor function was measured.Results In the results of XRD,3 patients(20%)showed rectal intussusception.8 patients(53.3%)showed external rectal prolapse and 2 patients(13.3%)showed moderate rectocele.In addition,there were 2 patients of puborectal muscle hypertrophy,and 1 patient of bladder prolapse and uterine prolapse,respectively.For MRD,3 patients(42.9%)showed rectal mucosal prolapse(partial prolapse).At 4 patients(57.1%)with rectocele,3 patients(all female)had moderate rectocele,1 patient had mild rectocele.3 patients were also observed related anterior and middle compartment organ descent.2 patients of pubulorectal muscle hypertrophy,no sigmoidocoele.Conclusion Defecography can evaluate the structural and functional abnormalities of pelvic floor in SRUS patients,such as external rectal prolapse,rectal protrusion,rectal mucosal prolapse,and rectal intussusception,which has guiding significance for the treatment of SRUS patients.
