Objective To know the efficacy of oral nursing by visible electric toothbrushes among patients with peroral endotracheal intuabtion. Methods Divided 108 trauma patients with peroral endo-tracheal intubation and clear consciousness into the research group and the control group randomly, there were 54 cases in each group. Routine oral nursing cares were used in the control group, while the visible electric toothbrushes was used in the research group. Compared the efficacy of oral nursing between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of mouth odor, plaque index and oral infection in the research group were better than those of in the control group. Conclusions Using visible electric toothbrushes for trau-ma patients with oral endotracheal tube is a kind of effective and feasibility method, which should be devel-oped in the clinical field.

This paper introduced the measurement methods of heat and moisture exchanger during tracheotomy with two main parameters (water loss and pressure drop) and proposed more heat and moisture exchanger evaluation indicators such as the death chamber, the heat exchange rate, as well as those parameters can be used to evaluate the reasonableness of the heat and moisture exchanger performance.

To develop optimal shift systems for an improvement of work schedule satisfaction, health and work productivity, the effects of the direction of the rotational work shifting on the circadian rhythm and adaptation of physiological components and work mistakes were investigated in nursing students. Two groups of seven volunteers participated as experimental subjects, apd seven to twenty nursing students participated as a control group. The directions of rotation work shift were as follows CW(clockwise)-shift system rotation in the direction of day shift(3 days), evening shift(3 days), off duty(l day) and night shift(5 days), and CCW (counterclockwise) -shift system rotation in the reverse direction. Urinary Na, K, and Cl levels were measured with ion-selective electrodes. The levels of performance were measured by a questionnaire to determine the number of mistakes in 12 specific items during duty. The disturbance of Na the circadian rhythm was seen on day and night shifts, especially in the CCW-rotation shift system, and the magnitude of the daily variation was greatest in the CCW-rotation system. The daily rhythms of K and Cl shifted to the right on the evening shift, and the rhythms were reversed on the night shift, which suggests that they adapted to the altered shift work. However, the levels of Cl were higher in day and night shift workers, especially in CCW-shift system. In the ease of urine salts, it seems that the students in CW-shift system more easily adapted to the altered shift. The incidence of mistakes during work were more frequent on the CCW shift than in the CW shift. These data indicate that the direction of rotation effects the worker's health and work performance. These results indicate that the CCW rotation of shift work makes it more difficult for the workers to adapt to the shift on a physiological level, and has many more negative effects on the shift workers' health when compared with the CW rotation. Thus, a clockwise rotating shift system seems to be more desirable for the optimal health and performance of nurses.

Such issues vital for the high availability of database are presented as data management,data backup and performance adjustment.With the issues classified,the solutions are also put forward.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of antibacterial irrigation in clinic.METHODS(JOLLYCOME~(TM)) was used to irrigate operative wounds for 17 206 patients in departments of general surgery,gynecotokology,pediatric surgery,(urology,) burn,orthopedics,cardiothoracic surgery,otorhinolaryngology and stomatology.(RESULTS) All operative incisions were with grade A healing.Rate of instantaneous sterilization of(JOLLYCOME~(TM)) on operative wound and mucocutaneous surface was 100% and it was failed to detection any bacteria on operative wound 24h after operation.CONCLUSIONS JOLLYCOME~(TM) irrigation could provide the effect of continuous sterilization on operative wound before suturing and play an important positive role in control(infection) in hospital.

Objective:To observe the relationship between the expression of c-erbB-2,nm-23,ER,PR and five-year tumour-free survival time in primary breast cancer.Methods:Seventy-four breast cancer patients with expressions of c-erbB-2,nm-23,ER,PR were detected by using immunohistochemical S-P methods.Results:In the multiplicity,the expression of c-erbB-2 had negative correlation with five-year tumor-free survival time,while the expression of ER had positive correlation with five-year tumor-free survival time.In the mono factor analysis,the expression of nm-23 had positive correlation with five-year tumor-free survival time.Conclusion:Both c-erbB-2,nm-23 and ER could be considered as a prognostic value for breast cancer.The positive of c-erbB-2 may be related to poorly prognosis.The positive of ER and nm-23 may be related to a higher survival time.

Objective To summarize the nursing experience of interventional therapy in radiology interventional department so as to shorten the time of interventional therapy and elevate the therapeutic effect of it. Methods Combined with the literature related and the features of interventional therapy, the preoperative preparation and nursing ex-operative preparation and nursing experience of more than 8,000 patients with interventional therapy in our department were summarized. Results All patients went through the therapy successfully without bad feeling during operation. Nurses assisted doctors well and no malpraxis happened. Conclusion Thinking highly of preoperative nursing, postoperative care and patients protecting might improve the efficiency and also might decrease either the impact from other factors or harmful experience personally during operation.

Objective To investigate the status and capacity of eye care services in Yunnan Province in 2007. Design Cross-sectional questionnaire survey. Participants 165 medical institutions in Yunnan Province. Methods Using a standardized questionnaire designed by Ministry of Health,the all hospitals of county or above and eye hospitals in Yunnan Province were investigated during October to December 2007. Main Outcome Measures Number of ophthalmologists and ophthalmic nurses,surgical volume per year,out-patient volume per year and number of ophthalmologists who can operate cataract independently. Results Totally 165 hospitals covered Yunnan Province participated in this study (response rate was 100%). In all these institutions,there were 735 ophthalmologists and 771 nurses. 392 ophthalmologists could perform cataract surgery independently. Within 16 prefectures of Yunnan,Zhaotong prefecture had the least resources of ophthalmology (7 ophthalmologists per million population) while Kunming had 32 ophthalmologists per million populations. In 2006,58346 eye surgeries were performed in all these institutions,including 23833 cases of cataract surgeries. 27 hospitals were not able to provide cataract surgical services. Out 165 institutions,only 29 hospitals (17.6%) had advanced ophthalmic equipments and 6 hospitals (3.6%) did not have any ophthalmic equipment. Conclusion There are big differences of eye care services among different level and different location of medical institutions in Yunnan Province of China. Inappropriate distribution of human resources and low productivity are main issues. Further resources allocation and optimized use of resources in eye care services are needed to meet the needs of patients.
