Objective To assess the protective effect of vaccination in routine application on hepatitis B virus (HBV) exposed infants and to clarify whether hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) administration of pregnant women may reduce the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HBV. Methods Serum samples of 6398 pregnant women at gestation of 15-20 weeks from 6 urban and 8 rural areas across Jiangsu province were previously tested for serologic markers of HBV by ELISA from July 2002 to August 2004. In this study, infants born to 419 HBV carrier mothers were taken as the study group, while infants born to 453 non-carrier mothers were taken as the control group by stratified random sampling. They were followed-up and screened for HBV markers during October 2009 to March 2010. Information including HBIG administration during pregnancy, HBV vaccination and HBIG administration of the infants were collected. χ2 test or Fisher′s exact method were used to compare the rates and the comparison of the means was by t test. Results The follow-up rates of the study group and control group were 71.12% (298/419) and 72.41% (328/453), respectively. Of the 298 infants born to HBV carrier mothers, 11 (3.7%) were positive for HBsAg, while none of the 328 infants born to non-carrier mothers was HBsAg positive (χ2=12.32, P<0.01). All of the 11 children were born to mothers with both HBsAg and HBeAg positive, and nine of the 11 children were not injected HBIG or not immunized with hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth, with only one received regular vaccination and detailed information was unknown in one case. The positive rates of anti-HBs in the study group and the control group were 69.46% and 69.21% respectively (χ2=0.01, P=0.95). HBsAg positive rate of the children born to pregnant women treated with HBIG during late pregnancy (n=92) was 2.17% (n=2), whereas that in the children born to women not treated with HBIG (n=197) was 4.57% (χ2=0.98, P=0.51). Conclusions The protective effect of immunoprophylaxis in routine application against perinatal HBV infection in Jiangsu province is good. Efforts are required to emphasize the importance of HBIG administration in infants born to HBV carrier mothers, especially in HBeAg positive mothers within 24 hours after delivery. Treatment of HBsAg positive pregnant women with HBIG in third trimester would not decrease the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HBV.

In the context of "big health, big medicine and big medicine", the relationship of medical and humanities have drawn the attention of the medical world again. For the present, how to develop humanistic care and nursing care behavior is the key point of this study. Nursing care behavior acts as an integral part of nursing work, need spiritual implantation, deepen understanding, continuous training and pragmatic practice. Therefore, the designation of "Benevolence and Faith" in the process of nursing should integrate the "Field Theory" of psychology, which focus on the benevolence and faith cultivation during the practice of nursing care behavior. It is necessary to identify the similar cultivation meaning of "benevolence" and "field" behind different manifestations. Consequently, the logical starting point of nursing care behavior could be identified.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Zhibitai capsule in the treatment of senile hyperlipidemia patients with phlegm and blood stasis syndrome.Methods:From June 2014 to June 2015, 126 elderly patients with primary hyperlipidemia of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome admitted to Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 63 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were given basic treatment plus atorvastatin calcium tablets, and the patients in the observation group were treated with Zhibitai capsule on the basis of the control study.Both two groups received continuous treatment for 12 weeks.The clinical efficacy, TCM syndrome integral, blood lipid, hemorheology and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was 92.1%(58/63), which was higher than 81.0%(51/63) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=8.199, P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score of the observation group was (9.31±1.78)points, which was lower than that of the control group[(15.88±2.35)points], and the difference was statistically significant( t=17.689, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of total plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the observation group were (5.16±0.28)mmol/L, (1.89±0.21)mmol/L, (3.34±0.11)mmol/L and (1.18±0.13)mmol/L, respectively, which in the control group were (5.31±0.15)mmol/L, (2.22±0.20)mmol/L, (3.47±0.16)mmol/L and (1.11±0.12)mmol/L, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant( t=3.748, 9.032, 5.314, 3.140, all P<0.05). After treatment, the whole blood low shear viscosity, high shear viscosity, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen in the observation group were (10.68±2.38)mPa/s, (4.11±0.31)mPa/s, (1.33±0.22)mPa/s, (3.01±0.22)g/L, respectively, which in the control group were (11.55±2.39)mPa/s, (4.43±0.30)mPa/s, (1.61±0.25)mPa/s, (3.25±0.22)g/L, respectively, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant( t=2.047, 5.888, 6.674, 6.123, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the adverse reactions between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:Zhibitai capsule can effectively improve the clinical efficacy, improve TCM syndromes, reduce blood lipids and improve hemorheology parameters in elderly patients with hyperlipidemia syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome, with no obvious adverse reactions, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
