Objective The purpose of this study was to provide efficient evidence to the treatment and nursing for patients with colorectal cancer after colostomy surgery by conducting a quality of life survey on the patients. Methods The WHOQOL-BREF scale was distributed to 103 patients after colostomy surgery in the Tumor Hospital of Yunnan Province. Results The average score of these patients was 23.45±9.92,with the highest score of 29, the lowest score of 13. In terms of quality of life in the physiological field and psychological field, there was a significant difference between the high self-efficacy ability and low self-efficacy ability ( <0.05) .In terms of quality of life in the social field and environment field, there was no significant difference between the high self-efficacy ability and low self-efficacy ability (>0.05). Conclusion The patients’familiarity with stomas was closely related to the quality of life, which indicated that the quality of life could be improved by improving the patient's familiarity with stoma care.It is necessary to know the condition of colostomy care in different postoperative stages and provide efficient support and help for the patients.

Objective To explore the risk of pituitary dysfunction for spontaneous subarachnoid hemor -rhage( s-SAH) patients and to evaluate its correlation with clinical data .Methods 63 cases of patients with s-SAH were selected.Indicators(serum adrenocorti cotrophic hormone (ACTH), growth hormone(GH), insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1), thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), thyroxine(T4), triiodothyronine(T3), folli-cle-stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), total testosterone(in males), estradiol(in females) and prolactin)dynamic observation were tested 7 days, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years after the onset.Results Thirty patients( 47.6%) had some type of pituitary dysfunction .ACTH deficiency was the most frequent disorder (14.3%), followed by GH deficiency(12.7%), hypogonadatrophic(6.3%), hypothyroidism(3.2%)and high prolactin(1.6%).six patients(9.5%)showed deficiencies in more than one axis .Hormone deficiency was relat-ed to vasospasm, Fisher grade 4(P<0.05)and recovery time.Conclusions A greater incidence of hormone de-ficiency after s-SAH was related with vasospasm , Fisher grade and recovery time .Follow-up time should be ex-tended.
