Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2011;27(6):1-3
Objective To probe into the effect of early psychological care on negative emotions and sleep of elderly patients with chronic heart failure. Methods 96 patients elderly patients with chronic heart failure were selected from June 2009 to June 2010, and were randomly divided into the study group and the control group with 48 patients in each group. Two groups of elderly patients were given traditional routine care after diagnosis, and elderly patients in the study group were given early comprehensive psychological nursing intervention additionally. Clinical index such as negative mood and sleep were analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, anxiety and depression scores of the study group were significantly decreased, somatization, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression and anxiety were significantly decreased, awakening time, and arousals were significantly lower, and sleep efficiency and sleep maintenance rate was significantly increased, there were significant differences. Conclusions Early psychological care for elderly patients with chronic heart failure is very important to improve negative mood and sleep quality for them, and is worth further clinical promotion and application.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2015;(8):1193-1195
Objective To compare the effects of ephedrine and dopamine in the prevention of hypotension during combined spinal and epidural anesthesia (CSEA)for cesarean delivery.Methods Fifty ASAⅠorⅡ patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery were randomly divided into the two groups,Ephedrine group (n=5 1 ):intrave-nous injection of 10mg ephedrine before anesthesia;Dopamine group(n=52):continuous intravenous infusion at the speed of 5μg·kg-1 ·min-1 .During the whole process,we investigated the incidence rate of adverse effects,com-pared the Apgar score of neonate and analyzed blood gas of umbilical artery and vein.Results Compare to the dopa-mine group,the incidence rate of hypotension was lower in the ephedrine group (43.1% vs 69.2%,χ2 =7.06,P=0.00).The pH value of umbilical artery and 1 min Apgar score of neonate in the ephedrine group was lower compare with that in the dopamine group[(7.22 ±0.03)vs (7.27 ±0.06),t=0.62,P=0.02],there are no significant difference of 5 min Apgar score in the two groups.Conclusion Compared with dopamine,ephedrine is a useful drug in the prevention of hypotension during combined spinal and epidural anesthesia (CSEA)for cesarean delivery and there are no significant differences of adverse effects of dopamine and ephedrine.Ephedrine has transient effect on the neonate,while the effect of dopamine is minor.

Objective To explore the effect of psychological nursing on anxiety and depression and quality of life of patients with multi drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods 58 patients with multi -drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis were randomly divided into observation group and control group,29 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,the observation group received psychological nursing on the basis of the control group.Before and after psychological nursing intervention,the self rating anxiety scale(SAS)and depression self rating scale(SDS),health survey(SF -36)score were observed,and the clinical curative effect and compliance of the two groups were observed.Results After psychological nursing intervention,the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group[(36.83 ±7.61)points and (40.07 ±5.49)points]were significantly lower than the control group [(44.07 ±9.16)points and (43.90 ±7.91)points],the differences were statistically significant(t =3.27,2.14,all P <0.05).The SF -36 scores showed that after psychological nursing intervention,the physiological function(PF), physiological functions(RP),general health(GH),vitality(VT),social function(SF),role emotional(RE),mental health(MH),the seven dimensions scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t =7.18,10.22,8.85,12.71,12.04,9.68,4.79,all P <0.05). The compliance of the observation group was 93.10%,which of the control group was 72.41%,the difference was significant(χ2 =4.35,P <0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group was 86.21%,which of the control group was 62.07%,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =4.41,P <0.05).Conclusion The psychological nursing intervention can improve the anxiety and depression of patients with multi -drug resistant tuberculosis, improve the quality of life of patients,improve the treatment compliance of patients,and improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect and adverse reactions of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in breast cancer patients with radical mastectomy.Methods A total of 210 breast cancer patients who underwent radical mastectomy was randomly divided into two groups,experimental (group A) and control (group B) groups (n =105 cases per group).Patients in group A was used PCIA for 48 hours analgesia,while group B weas applied routine intramuscular injections of pethidine.Visual analogue score (VAS) at 4,8,12,24,and 48 hours after operation were recorded.Pulse,respiration,and blood pressure were monitored and side effects e.g.existed skin itching,nausea,vomiting,and respiratory repression were observed.Results The VAS of group A patients on 4,8,12,24,and 48 hours were2.02 ± 1.47,1.73 ± 1.38,1.68 ± 0.91,1.44 ± 0.65,and 1.21 ± 0.61,respectively;and the VAS of group B patients were 6.95 ± 1.96,6.42 ± 1.57,5.63 ± 1.66,4.99 ± 1.62,and 3.72 ± 1.46,respectively.The VAS was significantly lower in group A patients than in group B (P < 0.05).The incidence of skin itching,nausea,vomiting,and respiratory repression was also distinctly decreased in group A than in group B (P <0.05).The overall satisfaction of patients in group A (96.2%) was remarkably higher than in group B (67.6%) (P <0.01).Conclusions Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump can more effectively alleviate the degree of pain,reduce the incidence of skin itching,nausea,vomiting and respiratory repression,improve the satisfactory degree for analgesia in breast cancer patients with radical mastectomy compared to traditional intramuscular way.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the inhibitory effect of alcohol extracts of Narcissus bulb on melanogenesis in zebrafish embryos.Methods Zebrafish embryos were exposed to different concentrations of alcohol extracts of Narcissus (0, 50, 100, 200, and 500 μg/mL), and then the formation of melanin was observed.Furthermore, we measured the enzyme activity of tyrosinase (TYR), which plays a pivotal role in melanogenesis.Meanwhile, the spatial and temporal pattern of melanin-specific marker genes were detected.Arbutin (Ar) was used as a positive control in all these experiments.Results The treatment of alcohol extracts of Narcissus bulb inhibited melanogenesis in the zebrafish embryos in a dose-dependent manner.Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of melanin-related genes such as tyrosinase (TYR), silver (SILV) and Mitfa were significantly reduced after treatment with different concentrations of Narcissus extracts by in-situ and semi-quantitative PCR.Finally, the enzyme activity of tyrosinase was also gradually decreased with increasing concentrations of the alcohol extracts.Conclusions Narcissus alcohol extracts can effectively inhibit the production of melanin in zebrafish embryos.This study provides potential evidence and approaches for the screening of natural whitening compounds using zebrafish models.

Objective To explore the antibacterial effect and mechanisms of platelets (PLT)on Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE).Methods Built infectious model of SE in vitro,whose final concentration was 105 CFU/ml in the reaction.Separately cocultured these models with PLT (the final concentration 400 × 109/L)-plasma (positive control)and BHI medium 12 hours later,and detected the antibacterial effect of PLT by making a liquid thinner and spreading counting method,and draw-ing antibacterial curve.Meanwhile,observed the bacterial structure by transmission electron microscope (TEM),and initially explored the antibacterial mechanism of PLT.Results The study showed the antibacterial effect of PLT on SE was very ob-vious,which appeared later than the plasma (M)group,but enduring.The images of TEM showed an electronlight region appeared in the centre of bacterium,contained condensed DNA molecules and leaded to slower fission.Conclusion PLT can damage the DNA structure of SE,and then affect the fission of SE,finally inhibit the proliferation of SE.
