Objective To evaluate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine sputum discharge liquid on preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP).Methods A randomized double-blind,placebo-controlled study was con-ducted,according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,patients with respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU)of a hospital in 2011 -2014 were selected and divided into treatment group and con-trol group.Treatment group received sputum discharge liquid in addition to conventional treatment,control group adopted simulation agent based on conventional treatment.The incidence,treatment effectiveness,occurrence time, and prognosis of VAP between two groups of patients were compared.Results A total of 139 patients were monitored,70 cases in treatment group and 69 in control group.The incidence of VAP in treatment group and con-trol group were 37.14% (n =26)and 57.97%(n =40)respectively;the average onset time of VAP in treatment group and control group were (76±3.2)hours and (45±8.9)hours after admission to ICU respectively;treatment effectiveness rates in treatment and control group were 88.46% and 55.00% respectively;the incidence,occurrence time,and treatment effectiveness rates of VAP between two groups of patients were both significantly different (all P <0.05).There were no significant difference in blood routine,liver and kidney function,urine routine,stool rou-tine,and electrocardiogram results between two groups of patients (all P >0.05 ).Conclusion Intervention in patients with mechanical ventilation by sputum discharge liquid can reduce the incidence of VAP,and has a positive effect on the prognosis of disease and pulmonary infection in patients.

Objective To perform the comparative analysis on the blood glucose results detected by the portable glucose meter and the Olympus AU2700 biochemical analyzer.Methods 20 fresh whole blood samples with sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate anticoagulation were the Olympus AU2700 biochemical analyzer biochemical analyzer.Results In these 27 portable glucose meters, the comparison results in only 1 portable glucose meter was unqualified,which in the other 26 portable glucose meters were passed, the passing rate was 96.3%,which in 2 glucose meters were clinically acceptable and which in the other 24 glucose meters were completely acceptable and the clinical completely acceptable rate was 88.9%.Conclusion There are some biases of blood glucose results detected by the portable glucose meter and the fully automatic biochemical analyzer,but the overall correlation is well.The comparison and calibration of the blood glucose meters should be performed at the regular intervals for improving the consistency and accuracy of blood glucose detection results.
