This paper summarizes the experiences of nursing care for children patients with Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental hip dysplasia. Nurses attended to the children immediately after the diagnosis was identified. Cooperating with orthopedic surgeon,nursing care mainly focused on family health education,follow-up and guidance on how to prevent the leg from the position of over abduction,as well as guidance on daily life,skin care and positions being holded. As a result,43 children achieved stable reposition with Pavlik harness while 4 cases changed to manipulation reposition integrated with casting whose femoral head had not reduced to the acetabulum. No femoral head necrosis and limb contracture happened except 3 cases suffered from slight skin damage.

Objective: To determine the contents of paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizic acid in Gianggan Capsules by RP HPLC. Methods: The Chromatographic method was carried out on Kromasil C 18 column using acetonitrile phosphate buffer solution (pH=5) (20∶80) as a mobile phase. The detection wavelength was set at 230nm and 250nm. The flow rate was 1ml/min. The column temperature was 40℃. Results: The paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizic acid calibration curves were linear at the ranges of 0.48～4.80?g and 1.08～10.81?g(r=0.9999). The average recoveries were 100.5% with RSD 1.2% for paeoniflorin and 98.9% with RSD 0.9% for glycyrrhizic acid. Conclusion: This method is simple, reliable and provides a reference standard for the quality control of Gianggan Capsules.

Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and the risk of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Methods Eighty-three patients with ALL and a cohort of 83 matched healthy objects were included, and DNA was extracted from their peripheral blood. PCR-RFLP was used to determine the genotypes of MTHFR C677T and A1298C. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using unconditional logistic regression model. Results It was found that the frequency of the MTHFR C677T TT genotype among patients was significantly different from that among control objects (P=0.008). The MTHFR C677T TT genotype had an increased risk of ALL compared with that of 677CC genotype (OR=3.229, 95%CI: 1.328-7.847, P=0.01). No significant association between the MTHFR C677T CT genotype or A1298C polymorphism and the risk of leukemia. Conclusion The present findings suggest that 677C→T polymorphism in MTHFR may be a genetic susceptibility factor for acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Objective To understand the levels of plasma endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in cough variant asthma(CVA) patients, and to investigate their correlation and clinical implications. Methods Thirty CVA patients,30 typical bronchial asthma patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. Three milliliter limosis venous blood were drawn from each patient to measure the levels of plasma ET and CGRP by radioimmanity. Results ①The levels of ET in the CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group were higher than that in healthy controls (P < 0.01). Their values were (103.58±28.66) ng/L, (129.37±27.28) ng/L and (72.63±21.52)ng/L, respectively. The levels of CGRP in the CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group were (7.62±2.56) ng/L and(6.63±2.09)ng/L The level of CGRP in the healthy controls group was (21.60±3.29) ng/L. The first two groups were lower than the latter(P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group(P >0.05). ②ET and CGRP were negatively correlated in both CVA group(r= -0.819,P<0.05) and typical bronchial asthma group(r= -0.738,P<0.05). Conclusions ET and CGRP were negatively correlated in both CVA group and typical bronchial asthma group, which means that ET and CGRP were a couple of antagonistic factors participated in the regulation of CVA, and may play an important role in the process of CVA.

Objective To investigate the expression of tissue factor and explore its clinical significances in pulmonary artery after acute pulmonary thromboembolism.Methods Thirty-four Japanese white rabbits (Level Ⅱ animals) were randomly (random number) assigned into four groups:group A (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 3 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8),group B (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 8 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8),group C (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 24 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8) and control group (pseudo-operations were carried out without injecting autologous blood clots,n =10).The animal model of pulmonary thromboembolism was established by injecting autologous blood clots into jugular vein through a 5F catheter and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography.The mRNA expression of TF in different parts of pulmonary artery was assayed by RT-PCR.The q test was utilized if there was a significant difference in a given continuous variable among three groups analyzed by ANOVA.Results The TF expression in the specimen adjacentto emboli was stable at 3 h,8 h or 24 hours after embolism.The mRNA expression of TF at 3 h and 8 h after embolism was lower in specimen taken from distal-end of morbid pulmonary artery than those adjacent to emboli.While at 24 hours after embolism,there were similar mRNA expressions in specimen either adjacent or distal to emboli.Conclusions The high expression of tissue factor in pulmonary artery tissue adjacent to emboli could lead to locally increased coagulation activity,indicating the necessity of initiating anti-coagulation treatment as soon as possible after acute pulmonary embolism.

To study the status and patterns of the drug utilization in the diseases of lower respiratory tract, the drug utilization for 290 inpatients with respiratory tract diseases in a Shanghai hospital druing 1993-1997 was analyzed by using Acute Physiology, Age, Chronic Health Evaluation(APACHE) and index of defined daily dose numbers(DDDs). The relativity between APACHE and DDDs was studied. It was found that most common drugs was anti-infection agents and expectorants, accounting for 39.06% and 38.38 %, respectively. The quantitative relationship between drug consumption and disease severity was not observed. It is concluded that the status of the drug utilization can't be demonstrated by analyzing the frequency of drug use by using DDDs.

RESULTS: The non-conformity rate of prescriptions was on the higher side before PMM implementation, accounting for 7.76% versus 3.38% after implementation (P

Objective To assess the relationship between fat metabolic parameters and androgen concentration in the cord blood of newborns of mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods This cross-sectional study included PCOS women (n=55) and neonatal, and 40 cases with matched body mass index (BMI) were used as control. The clinical data including height, body mass, waist circumference, hip circumference of PCOS group, and length and head circumference in newborns after delivery were measured and compared. Blood lipid level, serum insulin and testosterone level were detected using umbilical artery-vein mixed cord blood after delivery. Regression analysis was used to analyze the influence factors of neonatal cholesterol and testosterone levels. Results The neonatal birth weight, head circumference, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride level were significantly lower, birth height and testosterone level were significantly higher, in PCOS group than those of control group (P＜0.05). Values of waist to hip ratio, BMI, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and testosterone levels were significantly higher in PCOS group than those of control group (P＜0.05). The insulin, cholesterol and triglyceride levels of PCOS mother were risk factors for neonatal cholesterol level(P ＜ 0.05). The cholesterol, triglyceride and free testosterone levels of PCOS mother were risk factors for increased neonatal free testosterone (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Mother with PCOS may affect fetal birth weight, head circumference and cord blood lipid metabolism, which may be related with the elevated level of testosterone during the fetal period.

Objective To investigate the change of Th22 cells in the peripheral blood of the patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods The proportion of Th22 cells in the peripheral blood of PBC patients and healthy controls were evaluated by flow cytometry. The cytokine IL-22 of each group was measured by ELISA and ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL and CRP were measured by Automatic biochemical analyzer. The proportion of Th22 cells correlation with IL-22 , ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL and CRP were analyzed. Results The proportion of Th22 cells was higher in PBC patients than healthy controls (P < 0.05), Moreover the frequency of Th22 was increased in PBC patients with liver cirrhosis than in PBC patients with liver non-cirrhosis (P < 0.05). The level of IL-22, ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL and CRP were increased in PBC patients (P < 0.05). Moreover Th22 frequency of peripheral blood was positively associated with IL-22, ALT, AST, GGT and CRP (P < 0.05). Conclusion Th22 may be involved in the pathogenesis of and it is a potential therapy target for PBC.
