Objective To evaluate the effect of acupuncture point stimulation on the urodynamics of spinal cord injury patients.Methods Sixty spinal cord injury cases were divided into a research group and a comparison group.Both groups were given bladder training, but the research group also received acupuncture point stimulation.The subjects' maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure and residual urine were measured, along with renal function and any urinary tract infections.The scale of activity of their daily lives was compared before and 3 months and 6 months after the treatment.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the groups before the treatment.There were statistically significant differences in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure, residual urine and Barthel index (BI) after 3 and 6 months of treatment.In the research group, maximum detrusor pressure, residual urine and BI scores had all improved after 6 months compared with the 3 month values.In the comparison group only the BI score had improved significantly between 3 and 6 months, and this was not reflected in a significant change in the scale of activity in daily life.After 3 months, only the average BI differed significantly between the two groups.After 6 months all indexes except the BI and maximum cystometric capacity differed significantly.There were also significant differences between the groups in reflex voiding, percussion voiding, and abdominal pressure voiding.Conclusions Acupuncture point stimulation can improve the bladder function of spinal cord injury patients.It can also decrease the incidence of urinary tract infection and the possibility of renal dysfunction.

Objective:To survey the working status of outpatient nurses in general practice departments of general hospitals.Methods:From March to April 2021, personal in-depth interviews were conducted with outpatient nurses from general practice residency training bases in Beijing. The thematic framework analysis method was used to analyze the interview data and refine the themes.Results:Fourteen nurses working in general practice outpatient clinics were interviewed in this study. Four themes were extracted from the interview data: (1) inadequate staffing of full-time outpatient nurses in general practice departments of comprehensive hospitals; (2) unclear job functions for outpatient nurses in general practice departments; (3) no standardized patient health education in the department; (4) no relevant training received systematically.Conclusion:General practice departments in general hospitals should setup full-time general practice nurse positions, clarify the job responsibilities, strengthen the relevant training and enhance core competency for nurses working in general practice department.

Objective: To study the value of unmethylated cytosine guanine dinucleotide oligodeoxynucleotide (DSP30) and IL-2 in the conventional cytogenetic (CA) detection of the chromosomal aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) . Methods: Bone marrow or peripheral blood cells of CLL patients were cultured with DSP30 plus IL-2 for 72 h, following which R-banding analysis was conducted. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed in 85 patients. CA results were compared with data obtained by FISH. Results: Among 89 CLL patients, the success rate of chromosome analysis was 94.38% (84/89) . Clonal aberrations were detected in 51 patients (51/84, 60.71%) . Of them, 27 (27/51, 52.94%) were complex karyotype. Among 85 CLL patients tested by FISH, chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 74 (74/85, 87.06%) patients, of which 2 (2/74) patients were complex karyotypes, accounting for 2.70%. Of the 85 CLL patients examined by FISH, 50 had abnormal karyotype analysis, 30 had normal karyotype, 5 failed to have chromosome analysis. Among them, 25 cases showed clonal aberrations by FISH assay but normal by CA, and 4 cases were normal by FISH but displayed aberrations in chromosome analysis, and totally 78 (91.76%) cases with abnormality detected by the combination of the two methods. The frequency of 13q- abnormality detected by FISH was significantly higher than that by CA analysis (69.41%vs 16.67%, P<0.001) , while the frequency of 11q-,+12 and 17p- detected by two methods showed no significant difference (P>0.05) . The detection rate of complex abnormalities in conventional karyotype analysis was higher than that in FISH (50.98%vs 2.70%) . In addition, 11 low-risk and 9 intermediate-risk patients according to FISH results showed complex karyotype by cytogenetics, and were classified into high-risk cytogenetic subgroup. Conclusion DSP30 and IL-2 are effective in improving the detection rate of CA in CLL patients (60.71%) and CA is more effective to detect complex karyotype. However, FISH had a higher overall abnormality detection rate (87.06%) than CA, especially for 13q-. The combination of CA and FISH not only enhanced the detection rate of clonal aberrations to 91.76%, but also provided more precise prognosis stratification for CLL patients, thus to provide more information for clinical implication.
