Objective To explore the feasibility of the double venipuncture instead of central venous catheter as a temporary vascular access in hemodialysis.Methods The upper arm below the 1/3 was tied a tourniquet,and fistula needle directly punctured the vein in the middle of the elbow.After the success of the puncture,elastic bandage was replaced by a tourniquet,and the ball movement was done by imitating the blood donation member for blood donation at hand gripping a ball or elements as the artery blood lead.Another elbow vein or lower limb saphenous vein was punctured.Thirty patients using double venipuncture dialysis or central venous catheter dialysis 2 weeks or more were randomly selected into each group,and biochemical and renal function was measured before dialysis.Results All of 1 282 patients who were newly into the blood dialysis,mature arteriovenous fistula was in 8 patients (0.6％,8/1 282),deep venipuncture to insert the central venous catheter was in 542 patients(42.3％,542/1 282),using the double venipuncture was in 732 patients (57.1％,732/1 282).The flow of blood was 180-200 ml/min,the avalible time was 1-2 months.The serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,calcium,phosphorus and carbon dioxide combining power had no significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The majority of patients with double venipuncture blood flow can satisfy the need of dialysis.Because the operation is simple,no recycling and may reduce the deep venipuncture,it is an ideal temporary vascular access.

Objective To investigate the intervention of trans-theoretical model on the risk factors in the patients with prediabetes.Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients with pre-diabetes in a tertiary hospital of Zhengzhou City were selected and randomly assigned to control group and intervention group.The control group received the routine diabetic health education,while in addition to the routine health education,the intervention group was assisted by TTM interventional measures.The blood glucose,body mass index(BMI) and negative emotion were compared between the two groups.Results The blood glucose and BMI after intervention in the two groups were decreased,moreover the decrease level of fasting blood glucose and BMI in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.963、2.061,P＜0.05).The anxiety and depression emotion scores after intervention in the intervention group were [(3.47 ±1.07) and (0.30 ± 0.46)],before intervention were (7.74 ± 4.00) and(7.25 ± 4.50),The difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05),Moreover the anxiety and depression emotion scores after intervention in the intervention group were lower tghan those in the control group with statistical difference(t=3.300、2.054,P＜0.05).Conclusion The intervention measures based on TTM has significant advantage for controlling the risk factors of pre-diabetes and preventing diabetes than the conventional health education.

Objective To understand teicoplanin concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)during intravenous in-fusion in patients following neurosurgery operation,and evaluate whether drug concentration can be increased if blood-brain barrier was damaged, and effect of continuous pump of drug on drug concentration in CSF. Methods The post-neurosurgical surgery patients with surgical site/ventricular drainage were enrolled in the study, patients were divided into routine administration group(a dose of teicoplanin of 400 mg/12 h was administered for 30 min)and continuous administration group (a dose of 400 mg teicoplanin was administered for 30 min followed by a continuous infusion of 200 mg/6 h).CSF specimens were collected at respective time points of administration, teicoplanin concentration in specimens was measured.Results For routine administration group,drug concentration in CSF was (0.004 ± 0.0123 )mg/L immediately after teicoplanin was bumped,the peak concentration was (0.712 ± 1.028)mg/L after 1-hour bumping,then concentration decreased gradually,which were (0.254 ±0.222),(0.173 ± 0.152),and (0.355±0.207)mg/L at 12,18,and 24 hours of bumping respectively.For continuous administration group, drug concentration in CSF was(0.017±0.020))mg/L immediately after teicoplanin was bumped,the peak concentration reached (0.587±0.255)mg/L after 4-hour bumping,then concentration were (0.429±0.416),(0.325±0.254),(0.476 ±0.686),and (0.318 ±0.464)mg/L at 6,12,18,and 24 hours of bumping respectively,teicoplanin concentration was relatively stable 6 hours later,which were (0.318±0.464)mg/L-(0.476±0.686)mg/L.The area under the curve during 24 hours (AUC0-24 )in routine administration group and continuous administration group were 5.590 mg/L·h and 9.082 mg/L·h respectively.For two groups of patients,teicoplanin concentration only at the area near peak value a-chieved 50% minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC50 )for coagulase negative staphylococcus (CNS),but the time for a-chieving concentration higher than CNS MIC50 was far less than 50% of total administration time;teicoplanin concentration in CSF of both groups of patients didn’t achieve MIC50 for Staphylococcus aureus .Conclusion After continuous infusion of teicoplanin,drug concentration in CSF can be increased compared with routine administration group,but still can’t achieve the effective MIC;the increase of blood drug concentration is benefit to drug concentration in CSF,it is necessary to in-crease the dose appropriately to achieve clinical effectiveness.

Objective To explore the clinical features of subcutaneous fluid collection and post-operative headache after craniotomy and assess the efficacy and side effects of the millimeter wave treatment.MethodsA total of 32 neurosurgical patients with post-operative subcutaneous fluid collection were involved in this study and divided into traditional and millimeter wave treatment groups randomly. Subcutaneous fluid volume after 3 days, time for complete fluid absorption, time of hospital stay, incidence of related infections and severe headache between two groups were assessed.ResultsThe fluid reduction is 93.8% in the millimeter wave treatment group and 76.5% in the traditional treatment group 3 days after treatment (P<0.05); time for complete fluid absorption was also shorter in the millimeter wave treatment group; there is no infection in the millimeter wave treatment group and 3 cases in the traditional treatment group, millimeter wave treatment also reduced the occurrence of severe post-operative headache; there is no treatment-related side-effects in the millimeter treatment group.ConclusionMillimeter wave treatment is an efficacious and safe method for subcutaneous fluid collection after craniotomy, and can reduce the occurrences of related infections and post-operative pain.

Objective To explore the clinical features and the management of incision of scalp pain after craniotomy. Methods 129 patients after craniotomy without postoperative neuralgia were involved. The onset, severity, and characteristics of the pain were recorded within 1 week after the craniotomy. Patients with moderate-severe pain were given oxycodone and acetaminophen (treatment group) or rotundine (control) for 3 d. Results 39.5%（51/129）of patients experienced moderate to severe postoperative pain. After treatment, 76.9% （20/26） in treatment group and 36.0% （9/25） in control were released from the pain (P<0.01). The pain intensity differences and sum of pain intensity differences were more in treatment than in control (P<0.01). Conclusion Incision of scalp pain is common after craniotomy. Oxycodone and acetaminophen, called multimodal analgesia is efficacious and safe for it.

Objective To study the relationship between the medial artery calcification and expression of core-binding factor alpha 1 (Cbf α-1) and collagen Ⅱ (Col Ⅱ) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 patients.Methods Pieces of radial arteries were taken from 40 patients with CKD stage 5 during internal arteriovenous fistula operation.Ten patients with subtotal gastrectomy and normal renal function were chosen as control.The vessels were examined for calcification by von Kossa stain and for the presence of Cbfα-1 and Col Ⅱ by immunohistochemistry.According to von Kossa stain,CKD stage 5 patients were divided into no calcification group,mild-moderate calcification group and severe calcification group.Other related factors including serum calcium,phosphate,intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH),C-reactive protein (CRP),triglyceride(TG),cholesterol(TC) and lowdensity lipoproteins(LDL) were also detected.Results Seventeen (42.5％) of CKD Stage 5 patients showed vascular calcification,while calcification was not found in controls.Most calcification occurred in medial layer.Positive immunohistochemical staining of core-binding factor and Col Ⅱ was found in the smooth muscular cell plasma of medial layer in the vessels with calcification.However,above positive staining was also observed in 78.3％ of no calcification group.But there was little staining in control group.Positive staining score of Cbfα-1 and Col Ⅱ in severe calcification group was significantly higher than that in no calcification group.Same findings were obtained in mild-moderate calcification group,but the difference between them was not statistically significant.CRP and Ca × P were positively correlated with staining score of Cbfα-1 and Col Ⅱ.Serum phosphate was positively correlated with Cbfα-1 (r=0.786,P＜0.01) and Col Ⅱ (r=0.785,P＜0.01) respectively.Conclusions 42.5％ of CKD stage 5 patients in our group shows vascular calcification,which occurrs mainly in medial layer.High expression of Cbfα-1 and Col Ⅱ can be observed in vascular calcification of radial arteries,which is earlier than vascular histological changes.Cbfα-1 and Col Ⅱ may be involved in the development of vascular calcification.
