Objective To investigate the basic perceptions, attitudes and needs towards delirium among ICU professionals in Shandong province, so that to help the ICU supervisors design target training for ICU professionals. Methods A survey was employed utilizing a self-designed questionnaire among 917 ICU professionals(doctors and nurses) from 62 hospitals in Shandong province. Results The score of ICU professionals′ basic perception and behavioral attitude concerning ICU delirium were (24.56 ± 6.36) and (19.00 ± 3.01) points respectively. The score had significant positive correlation and indicates statistic significance (r=0.53, P<0.01). Academic, work experience and title had influence on the score of basic perception (F=14.49, 26.25, 40.16, P<0.05), work experience, category of ICU, title and category of hospital were the effect on the score of behavior and attitude (F=11.87, 8.64, 6.55, P<0.05;t=4.81, P<0.05). The lower rate of correct responding to knowledge of ICU delirium were as follows:the correct rate of delirium in ICU of typing to 56.92%(522/917); the clinical manifestations of ICU delirium accuracy 65.32%(599/917); andrisk factors for delirium in ICU of the correct rate for 70.34%(645/917).ICU professionals acquire knowledge pertaining delirium mainly through lectures, conferences, knowledge brochure , exchange of experience. Conclusions The ICU professionals in Shandong province have less knowledge on ICU delirjum.ICU management should recognize the importance of ICU delirium to strengthen the training of relevant knowledge, enhance delirium management, ensure the patient's safety and improve the prognosis of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore clinical effect and safety ofShaoyao-Gancao decoction combined withSiwu decoction for the patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).MethodsA total of 76 patients with DPN in our hospital from 2013 July to October 2015 were divided into control group and observation group by the random number method, 38 patients in each group. The control group were treated with conventional treatment combined with oryzanol injection, and the observation group were treated with Shaoyao-Gancaodecoction combined withSiwu decoction on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for one month. The level of FPG, 2 hPG, HbAlc, TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C was detected respectively before and after treatment. The whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity was detected with LBY-N6A self-cleaning rotary viscosimeter. The red blood cells deposited and platelet aggregation rate were tested with Winchester points vascular method and turbidimetric method, respectively.The leg nerve and sural nerve of nerve conduction velocity (nerve conduction velocity, NCV) were determined with electromyography, at the same time the clinical curative effect was evaluted.ResultsTotal effect rate of observation group was 89.5% (34/38), which was significantly higher than the control group 71.1% (27/38), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.070,P=0.044); After treatment, the levels of FPG (6.12 ± 0.38 mmol/Lvs.6.58 ± 0.52 mmol/L, t=4.403), 2 hPG (7.83 ± 0.82 mmol/Lvs. 8.41 ± 0.93 mmol/L,t=2.884), HbAlc (6.27 ± 0.52%vs. 6.82 ± 0.64%, t=4.112) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of TC (4.73 ± 0.83 mmol/L vs. 5.11 ± 0.64 mmol/L,t=52.235), TG (1.83 ± 0.35 mmol/Lvs. 2.03 ± 0.41 mmol/L, t=2.287) and LDL-C (2.91 ± 0.54 mmol/Lvs. 3.25 ± 0.58 mmol/L,t=2.645) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the HDL-C (1.47 ± 0.33 mmol/Lvs. 1.26 ± 0.31 mmol/L,t=-2.859) in the observation group was higher than than that in the control group(P<0.05). The level of whole blood specific viscosity (10.16 ± 2.12 mPa?svs. 11.33 ± 2.51 mPa?s,t=2.195), plasma viscosity (1.24 ± 0.25 mPa?svs. 1.62 ± 0.37 mPa?s,t=5.246), red blood cell volume (0.31 ± 0.16L/Lvs. 0.42 ± 0.08 L/L,t=3.791) and platelet aggregation rate (50.21% ± 8.03%vs. 54.16% ± 7.82%,t=2.172) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The tibial nerve velocity (45.22 ± 3.20 m/svs. 38.26 ± 5.19 m/s,t=-7.037) and the common nerve velocity (43.22 ± 6.34 m/svs. 36.23 ± 4.81,t=-5.415) in the observation group were as significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe Shaoyao-Gancaodecoction combined withSiwu decoction could improve the state of blood sugar, blood lipid and blood rheology of patients with DPN, and improve nerve transfer speed of leg nerve and sural nerve, the curative effect is better than conventional western medicine therapy alone.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the repairing effects of bone marrow transplantation with nerve tissue committed stem cell (NTCSCs) on experimental rats with injury of noise-induced hearing loss. METHOD: Guinea pigs were randomly divided into control group, noise exposure group and the transplanting group. A week after white noise exposure of 110 dB, NTCSCs and PBS were injected into guinea pigs of the noise exposure group and the transplanting group respectively. One week after noise exposure to four weeks continuous administration. ABR thresholds were measured respectively prior to the experiment, 1 week post-noise,1, 2 and 4 weeks post-drugs, The changes of cochlea hair cells were also observed by a scan electron microscope (SEM). RESULT: The ABR threshold shifts in the transplanting group were significantly fewer than that in the noise exposure group. SEM showed that hear hair of the inner and outer hair cells in noise exposure group displayed mess, fusion and imperfections. In the transplanting treatment group, the hair cells displayed slight pathological changes, there wasn't significant differents comparied with normal group. The number of OHCs were relatively stable in the normal group, while the obvious OHC loss was observed in other groups. There was significant difference among the three groups, however, the OHC loss in the transplanting group was no significantly different to that in the noise exposure (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The bone marrow NTCSCs which had been transplanted to rat cochlea could reduce the damage of the noise on the hair cell, and thus played a role in repairing the damage of auditory nerve.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the importance of preoperative ultrasound and D-dimer determination for patients with traumatic fractures so as to evaluate the value of vascular color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing of vein thrombosis and the correlation between D-dimer level and lower extremity vein thrombosis. Methods The study involved 1000 in-patients with multiple traumatic fractures, femoral fractures, tibial fractures or tibiofibular fractures admitted from March 2008 to April 2009 who were prepared for open reduction surgery. There were 568 males and 432 females, at age range of 20-90 years ( average 54.8 years). Vein D-dimer was examined in the morning on the second day after admission. Vascular color Doppler ultrasound was performed on the lower extremity one day before operation (after the swelling faded away, about 4-10 days after fracture). Results The vascular color Doppler ultrasound on the lower extremity showed vein thrombosis of the lower extremity in 64 patients (6.4%) including 26 patients with iliac- femoral vein thrombosis, 10 with popliteal-tibial vein thrombosis and 28 with gastrocnemius or soleus muscle vein thrombosis. On the second day after operation, out of 736 patients (73.6%) with D-dimer above normal (324 μg/L), 56 patients (7.6%) developed thrombosis afterwards;of 264 patients (26.4%) with normal D-dimer, eight patients (3.03%) developed thrombsis. Incidence of thrombosis in patients with D-dimer above 650 μg/L was higher than that in patients with D-dimer below 650 μg/L (P＜0. 01). Conclusions Preoperative lower extremity vein Doppler ultrasound in traumatic fracture patients can lower the risk of fatal lung thrombosis caused by existing deep vein thrombosis.D-dimer above normal level indicates tendency of thorombosis. However, normal D-dimer still have the possibility to develop thrombosis, which deserves attention.

Objective To study the effects of purified rabies vaccine for human use (RV) on specific Th1/Th2 cytokines in human. Methods Twenty cases were injected intramuscularly with 5 full doses of RV. PBMCs were isolated from the blood sample collected at day 0, 14, 45 after the RV inoculation. Neutralizing antibody was determined by ELISA, and the proliferation of lymphocyte by in vitro test. The levels of RV specific IFN-γ, TNF, IL-2,IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 in the culture supernatants were detected by cytometric bead array (CBA). Results The neutralizing antibody was tested positive in 19 cases 45 days after inoculation and 1 case after 60 days, with the positive rate reaching 100%. After stimulation with RV, the lymphocyte transformation index at day 14, 45 in cases were significantly higher than those day of 0 (P< 0.05), and similar results were confirmed with IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 tested by CBA (P<0.05). Condusion The RV could induce humoral and antigen-specific cellular immune responses in human, tested by showing good protective effect on rabies virus.
