Modern Clinical Nursing 2014;(11):24-26
Objective To explore the effect of earplugs on the reduction of noises in the wards with a few patients after gynecological surgery.Methods Two hundred and fifty-four patients hospitalized in our hospital after gynecological surgery from March 2012 to May 2013 were divided into control group(n=124)and observation group(n=130). The observation group was managed with earplugs and the control group patients received routine nursing. The two groups were compared in terms of breathing,heart rate,blood pressure,24 h scores on anxiety before and after operation.Results The postoperative respiration,heart rate,blood pressure of the observation group patients was significantly lower than those of control group(all P<0.05),anxiety score was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01). Conclusions Earplugs can create a quiet environment in wards with a few patients after gynecological surgery and help to stabilize vital signs and reduce anxiety.
2.Conversion from Parataxis to Hypotaxis in Chinese-English Translation for TCM Classics
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2014;(10):1228-1230,1235
Objective] To explore the concrete policies and approaches in Chinese-English translation for TCM classics. [Methods] Transformation from parataxis in Chinese to hypotaxis in English is expounded by converting thinking modes and grammatical structure, based on analyzing the characteristics of the two languages in semantic structure and grammar, including tenses, voices, etc. as wel as their relationship with thinking modes. Sentences in English version of Huangdi Neijing(The Inner Classic of Yel ow emperor) are taken as examples. [Results] The implicit logic in Chinese can be unfolded in an explicit fashion in English by restructuring sentences, adding subbjects and conjunctions. [Conclusions] The intrinsic and mutual relationship in or between sentences in source language should be identified before Chinese-English translation for TCM classics is done. Thereafter adjusting and reconstructing can be carried out according to the thinking modes and grammatical rules in target language, achieving semantic correspondence and faithfulness.

Objective To investigate the clinical role of a combination therapy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(RFA) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) in large hepatic tumors. Methods Out of 62 patients with hepatocellular carcinomas confirmed by pathology, 21 patients received a combination therapy of TACE and RFA(combination group), 22 patients TACE therapy alone, and the rest 19 patients RFA therapy alone. A total of 106 tumors with a mean diameter of ( 5.9? 0.7) cm(ranged from 5.0 to 8.1 cm) were detected, and the largest tumor was selected for observation in a patient with multiple lesions. There was no significant difference in mean age, tumor size and liver function grade among the three groups.Results Tumor complete necrosis accounted for 80.9%in combination group, which was significantly higher than that of TACE group and RFA group ( 27.2%, 47.4%,P 0.05). Mean survival duration of combination group was 25.6 months, significantly higher than that of TACE group( 14.9 months)(P0.05). Conclusions Compared with TACE or RFA therapy alone, the combination therapy improves tumor complete necrosis rate and prolongs the patients′ survival duration.

To explore a new mode of teaching activities and management of clinical practice, our hospital adopted various methods, including computer training and exams, selecting practice guiding experts among the three level specialties, establishing labs for the operation of basic skills, using credit books for trainees and adopting integrated education on disease entities. In the past, teachers could teach and set exams in whatever way they liked and students did not have enough opportunities to come across various disease entities or to operate with their hands. Now such shortcomings have been overcome. Students can receive comprehensive, systematic and standard training in clinical operations. At the same time, their quality with regard to professional knowledge and ethics has also been enhanced.

Objective To determine whether the pressure of continuous CO 2 pheumoperitoneum (CCP) affects port site implantation of tumor cells.Methods Male SD rats were injected intraperitoneally with gastric cancer cells (cell line SGC 7901). Continuous CO 2 pneumoperitoneum at 15*!mm*!Hg or 30*!mm*!Hg for 5*!mins,60*!mins,120*!mins and 180*!mins with different number of tumor cell injection(10 4/ml, 10 6/ml respectively) was then established. Several samples of peritoneal washing served as positive control.All collecting dishes were incubated at 37℃ for one week.Results Dishes were tumor cell positive on which the tumor cells were collected from rats undergoing continuous flows of CO 2 gas (5*!L/min) at pneumoperitoneum of 30*!mm*!Hg for 60 mins or longer and all peritoneal washing samples showed tumor growth also. Conclusion It suggests that the number of tumor cells, pneumoperitoneum pressure and the duration may affect the port site implantation.

Objective To investigate the value of clinical data used for conventional indications of initiating renal replacement therapy (RRT) such as serum creatinine (SCr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and acute renal injury (AKI) stage and in estimating the prognosis of critically ill patients with AKI.Methods A retrospective analysis of 258 AKI adult inpatients treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in ICU from Jan.2011 to Jan.2015.According to the outcomes,all subjects were divided into survival group (n =104)and death group (n =154).The general condition,AKI causes,results of renal function (urine output,SCr,BUN and AKI stage),homeostasis (acid-base balance and electrolyte level),severity of disease (APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score) and others were compared between two groups.Additionally,risk factors for the prognosis of critically ill patients with AKI were screened by the multivariate Cox's proportional hazard models and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results There were no significant differences in gender,age,primary disease,AKI causes,APACHE Ⅱ score,renal function (urine output,SCr,BUN and AKI stage),serum potassium level and phosphorus level between two groups before CRRT (P > 0.05),but more patients in death group had severe sepsis (31.17% vs.19.23%,P =0.033),lower pH value [(7.27 ±0.34)vs.(7.41 ±0.34),P =0.024] and higher level of lactate [(3.97 ±2.87) vs.s (2.64 ± 2.30),P =0.006].After the analysis with multivariate Coxg proportional hazard models,it was found that the levels of serum phosphorus (P =0.043) and lactate (P =0.009) were the independent risk factors for prognosis of critically ill patients with AKI,and other conventional indications for initiating RRT such as SCr,BUN,AKI stage,urine output,pH,bicarbonate level or potassium level were not closely associated with the prognosis of patients (P > 0.05).Therefore,a composite of these six variables (pH,bicarbonate level,phosphorus level,potassium level,urine output and AKI stage) was analyzed.According to the analysis result of ROC curve,the diagnostic value of combined six different variables in predicting in-hospital mortality of AKI patients [area under the curve (AUC) 0.669,95% CI:0.577-0.762] was almost as high as that of lactate (AUC:0.683,95% CI:0.590-0.777),and significantly higher than SCr (AUC:0.460,95% CI:0.358-0.562),BUN (AUC:0.469,95% CI:0.366-0.571).Conclusions This composite of six different variables is more useful than any other conventional indications for initiating RRT in predicting post-AKI mortality.As a result,a composition of six different variables should be considered rather than any single variable alone for indication of initiating RRT in critically ill patients with AKI.
