Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2016;15(7):709-712
Objective To investigate the effect of quantifying health education on nurse teaching in cardiovascular department. Methods Totally 98 nursing college students practicing in cardio-vascular department were randomly divided into experimental group and control group . Method of quantifying health education was employed in experiment group while traditional education was used in control group;all patients were guided by health education. After the internship, two ques-tionnaires were used separately to evaluate the health education effects on nurse students and patients. SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical processing. The measurement data were expressed as x±s; The mean between the groups was compared using t test; the enumeration data between the groups were com-pared using字2 test, the ranked data were compared using rank sum test. α=0.05 was taken as inspec-tion level. Results The health education cognitive scores were higher in experimental group than in control group (P<0.05). The health education ability scores, theoretic test scores, and operation test scores were higher in experimental group than in control group, with statistical differences (t=3.20, 2.10, 2.87; P=0.001, 0.032, 0.004). There were statistical differences in patients' cognition after receiving health education. (Z=13.435, 14.290, 12.901, 12.466, 12.168, 11.350; all P=0.000). Conclusions Quantification of health education can improve health education cognition and ability of nursing students in cardiovascular department, enhance the ef-fectiveness of clinical practice, and help patients master knowledge of health education.

Objective To investigate characteristics of deceleration capacity (DC) and Tp-e/QT value in different age groups of patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy, and to analyze their influencing factors. Methods A total of 487 subjects were enrolled in this study, and divided into three groups:patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DM+CAN group,n=287), normal glucose tolerance patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy (CAN group,n=130) and healthy controls (NC group,n=150).Then the DM+CAN group were further divided into three subgroups according to age tertiles:the lowest tertile group (35.0~47.2 years old,n=91),the middle tertile group (47.3~59.6 years old,n=116)and the highest tertile group (59.7~72.0 years old,n=80).All subjects were underwent 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram recordings.DC and Tp-e/QT values were calculated,and then the correlation between DC and Tp-e/QT with other indicators was analyzed. Results The levels of WC,SBP,BMI,FPG,HbA1c,FIns and HOMA-IR were higher in DM+CAN group than in CAN group and in NC group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).DC increased and Tp-e/QT decreased from DM+CAN group,CAN group to NC group,and the pairwise comparisons were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01).DM duration,WC,FPG,FIns,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,hypertension and CHD ratio were higher in the highest tertile group and middle tertile group than in the lowest tertile group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).DM duration and FIns were higher in the highest tertile group than in middle tertile group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).RHR and AHR were lower in the highest tertile group than in the lowest tertile group (P<0.05),and there were no statistical significant difference between the middle tertile group and the lowest tertile group (P>0.05).DC increased [(2.90±0.47) vs (4.22±0.41) vs (4.97±0.35) ms],and the Tp-e/QT decreased [(0.23±0.05) vs (0.18±0.03) vs (0.12±0.02)] from the highest tertile group to the lowest tertile group,(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the pairwise comparisons were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age,DM duration,WC,FPG,HbA1c,complicated with hypertension and coronary heart disease (CHD) were risk factors for DC and Tp-e/QT values (P<0.05). Conclusion Together with the increased age,DC level is reduced and Tp-e/QT value increased in patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy.Dynamic electrocardiogram should be considered in patients with advanced age,long DM duration,high level of WC,FPG,HbA1c,and complicated with hypertension and CHD,in order to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular events effectively.

With the rapid development of general anesthesia technology and the occurrence of new types of inhalation and intravenous anesthetics,safety and comfort requirements of general anesthesia become increas-ingly higher. Therefore,emergence agitation and its adverse consequences gradually receive more and more atten-tion . Thus the etiology and prevention of emergence agitation is an important issue in pediatric anesthesia at pres-ent. In recent years, some achievement has been made in emergence agitation following general anesthesia in children. This article will summarize the related factors,possible mechanisms and prevention strategics of pediat-ric emergence agitation.

Objective To detect cytokeratin in routine pathology negative regional lymph nodes postoperatively in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). To investigate the relationship of lymph node micrometastasis in P-TNM stages NSCLC and survival rates. Methods From Jan. 1996 to Dec. 2003, 107 paraffin-embedded specimens of T1-T4N0-N1M0 NSCLC patients were collected. Anti-cytokeratin(CK) an- tibody AE1/AE3 was applied to detect cytokeratin with Envision~(TM) method in routine pathological negative re- gion lymph nodes in NSCLC, and selected negative control, positive control and blank control. The pulmo- nary hilar lymph node micrometastasis was upward regulated with stage pCK-N1, mediastinal lymph node mi- crometastatsis was upward regulated with stage pCK-N2. The result applied to SPSS11.0 software to process. Results The CK positive rate was 29.9% in all the patients. The CK positive rate was 27% (21/78), 30% (7/23), 67% (4/6)in stage p-Ⅰ, p-Ⅱand p-Ⅲ, respectively. All these data showed the tendency by which detectable rate increased and was accompanied by disease progress. Comparing the annual survival rate and median survival time of the non-micrometastasis group with the mierometastasis group in two groups, the survival rate difference was statistically significant. Comparing the annual survival rate and median sur- vival time in pCK-ⅢA stage with p-Ⅰ-Ⅱstage, pCK-ⅢA stage annual survival rate and median survival time was significantly different (P=0.020). Similarly, comparing the survival rate in pCK-ⅡB stage with p-ⅠB stage, pCK-ⅡB stage survival rate was significantly different(P=0.059). Comparing the survival time of pCK-ⅢA stage with p-Ⅲstage, pCK-ⅡB stage, with p-ⅡB stage, euther survival time difference was statistically significant (P=0.838, 0.518). Conclusions The rate of positive cytokeratin increase is ac- companied by the disease progress in NSCLC. Positive cytokeratin has disadvantagious prognosis. It is showed that pCK-N1 may be equal to p-N1 and pCK-N2 which also may be equal to p-N2. Micrometastasis may affect the UICC staging currently in use.
