ObjectiveTo explore the long-term fluctuation of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and its effect on prognosis in patients surviving for more than 1 year after renal transplantation.MethodsFour hundred and forty-six patients underwent kidney transplantation from January,1993 to December,2008.According to preoperative FPG levels,patients were divided into diabetic,impaired fasting glucose (IFG),and normal fasting glucose (NFG)groups. The changing trend of FPG level was observed and analyzed. For 428 non-diabetic patients before transplantation,the prevalence and different outcomes of post-transplantation diabetes( PTDM ) according to FPG after transplantation were analyzed.The characteristics of the patients with persistent PTDM ( P-PTDM ) and transient PTDM (T-PTDM) were compared.The incidence of complications and patient survival between the PTDM group and non-PTDM groups were also compared.ResultsFPG level was increased early and then decreased in patients after renal transplantation.Of the 428 patients,87 developed into PTDM ( 20.3% ) including 15 T-PTDM patients ( 17.2% of total PTDM ),who eventually recovered to NFG or IFG.Compared with P-PTDM group,the incidence of acute rejection episodes was higher for T-PTDM ( P =0.043 ).The incidence of infections,hypertension,and dyslipidemia within the first year,was higher in PTDM group compared with non-PTDM group but patient survival was not different within a mean follow-up of ( 5.65 ± 3.68 ) years.ConclusionPTDM will not be permanent and may recover to NFG or IFG in the course of the disease.Acute rejections are associated with the onset of T-PTDM.The overall patient survival is not affected by PTDM,although complications,such as infections,hypertention,and hyperlipidemia are more frequently encountered in PTDM patients.

Objective To prepare an occupation well-being scale for nurses, and test its reliability and validity. Methods After literature review and semi-structured interviews, the item pool of the occupation well-being scale for nurses was created based on theory of structure of the subjective well-being. After group discussion, and evaluation by the specialists, a pilot scale was obtained. A total of 350 clinical nurses were selected by using stratified sampling method, and their occupation well-being were surveyed by the scale. The data were used to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The occupation well-being scale for nurses had 3 dimensions, including 8 exploring factors. The values of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient of the total scale, endogenous exogenous satisfaction, satisfaction of nurses occupation happiness were all larger than 0.9, which meaned the internal consistency was good. In the emotion dimension, the value of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient were less than 0.7, which meant the internal consistency was not so good. The reliability coefficient of repeated measurement of the whole scale and each dimension were greater than 0.7, suggesting the external consistency of the scale was good. The content validity index of 3 dimensions were all larger than 0.9,and the cumulative ex-planatory variables were all larger than 55%. Conclusion The occupation well-being scale for nurses proposed in this study has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the occupation well-being of the nurses.

Objective To investigate the sleep status, quality of life, activities of daily living and the serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in insomnia patients after meridian-collateral stroke treated by the new family rehabilitation program, a combined therapy including traditional family rehabilitalion, acupoint massage and ear point application. Methods A total of 80 cases of insomnia patients after meridian-collateral stroke were enrolled. Subjects were evenly divided into treatment group ( treated with new family rehabilitation program) and control group ( treated with traditional hospital health education and family rehabilitation). Clinical effects of the two groups were evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the brief version of WHO Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL-BREF) and activities of daily living ( ADL) . The serum levels of IL-1β and TNF-α were monitored before and after therapy and measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA). Results ( 1) After treatment for 28 days, the scores of total PSQI, sleep time, sleep efficiency and sleep disorder incidence in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01) . ( 2) The scores of physiological, psychological, social relation, environmental dimensions of WHOQOL-BREF in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01) . ( 3) ADL scores were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (P<0.01) . (4) Serum levels of IL-1βand TNF-αwere increased in the treatment group as compared with those in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Compared with the traditional hospital health education, the new family rehabilitation program can effectively improve the quality of sleep, quality of life, as well as the activities of daily living. And the mechanism may be associated with the up-regulation of the serum levels of IL-1βand TNF-α, which are relevant to the sleep status.

Objective To investigate the association of residual renal function with intradialysis dialysis hypotension among maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods Fifty-six patients who had underwent maintenance hemodialysis from March 2014 to November 2015 were enrolled according to researching protocol in this study. Data of baseline and clinical parameter of every hemodialysis session were collected. The patients were divided into two groups by 24 h urine output:urine group (24 h urine output≥100 ml, 22 patients)and no urine group (24 h urine output<100 ml, 34 patients). The clinical data were compared between two groups. Results In the 12 weeks’ treatment, 965 times hemodiafiltration were performed in 56 patients, and the rate of intradialysis hypotension was 24.04%(232/965). The rate of intradialysis hypotension in urine group was 19.28%(80/415), in no urine group was 27.64%(152/550), and there was significant difference (P=0.000). The levels of interdialytic weight gain, ultrafiltration volume, ultrafiltration percentage , pre-dialysis systolic and diastolic blood pressure in urine group were significantly lower than those in no urine group (P<0.01). The levels of pre-dialysis weight, intradialysis systolic blood pressure variability, intradialysis diastolic blood pressure variability, heart rate variability, hemoglobin, serum albumin in two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that residual glomerular filtration rate (rGFR) had negative correlation with interdialytic weight gain (r =- 0.257, P = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that with the increase of dialysis time, the rate of intradialysis hypotension increased. The comulative rate of intradialysis hypotension in no urine group was higher than that in urine group (log-rank = 14.67, P =0.000). Conclusions Residual renal function is associated with intradialysis hypotension, and it is important for clinician to consider a residual renal function protection schedule for maintenance hemodialysis patients.
