Objective: To study the correlation among genetic polymorphism of glutathione S-transferases (GST) T1, M1 and serum creatinine levels,as well as intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the end stage of renal disease(ESRD). Methods: 118 blood samples of ESRD and 133 of healthy control had been enrolled, and simultaneously the patients' serum creatinine (SCr), blood uria nitrogen (BUN), serum calcium and serum phosphorus were recorded. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) had been employed to determine the genotypes of GST and immunoradiometric assay was used to determine PTH levels. Results: The distribution frequencies of dual null GST T1 and M1(A), null GST T1 and functional M1 (B), functional T1 and null GST M1(C) and dual functional GST T1 and M1(D) were 16.9%, 11.0%, 44.9%, 27.1% in ESRD and 14.4%, 10.8%, 46.7%, 28.1% in the healthy control, respectively. There was no difference between the two groups (P=0.945); Mean SCr levels of A was higher than that of B (P=0.047) and C (P=0.007) group in ESRD. Conclusion: Distributions of GST Genotypes had no difference among ESRD and healthy control groups; SCr level of dual null GST T1 and M1 (A) was higher than single null GST (B and C) in ESRD. GST may played some roles in metabolism of poisons and protecting cells from the attack of toxic substances.

This paper presents a 3mm fracture model of radial bone of rabbits using operation method. The bone defect was treated with collagen sponge with different pH and different content. After the operation, the body temperature, blood routine measurement, serum antibody, X-ray examination and histological observation in each group were examined to evaluate and study the curative effect and safety of collagen sponge. Collagen sponge had a good result of safety, but there was slightly change in blood routine, serum antibody, and histological observation, etc, with the pH changing and different content of collagen. The results showed that there was no obvious influence of safety to tissues after treatment of the collagen sponge at different pH implanted into bone defect. Collagen sponge at lower pH could promote the healing of bone defect partly, while the safety of collagen sponge with lower content was better.

Objective? To explore the effects of the electronic transfer system on emergency surgery patients. Methods? The electronic transfer system for emergency surgery patients were established. Totally 98 patients who were transferred from the emergency service into the Operation Room using the electronic surgery system were included into the observation group from January to December 2017, while 88 patients who were transferred from the emergency service into the Operation Room using oral and printed transfer records were included into the control group form January to December 2016. The success rate of transfer, patient's and nurse's satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results? The success rate of transfer using the electronic transfer system for emergency surgery patients was 95.92%, while that of the control group was 77.27% (χ2=14.343,P< 0.05). Patient's satisfaction of the observation group was 92.86%, while that of the control group was 59.09% (χ2=29.743,P< 0.05). The nurse's satisfaction of the observation group was 95.92%, while that of the control group was 87.50%(χ2=4.432,P<0.05). Conclusions? The establishment of the electronic transfer system for emergency surgery patients further clarifies the content of transfer, enhances nurses' responsibility and shortens the time of transfer, which plays a preventative and control role in risk management and safety management in emergency surgery patients.

Objective:To understand the current situation of robot-assisted patient rehabilitation training in neurological disease-related departments of ClassⅢ medical institutions across the country, so as to provide guidance and basis for promoting the improvement of robot-assisted training.Methods:In September 2021, convenience sampling was used to select neurological disease-related departments in Class Ⅲ hospitals from all provinces and cities across the country to conduct a survey on the status of robot-assisted rehabilitation training. A self-designed Hospital Robot-Assisted Training Questionnaire was used for investigation. The survey was conducted using an electronic questionnaire. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 236 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 94.4%.Results:Among the 236 neurological disease-related departments, a total of 93 (39.4%) departments used robot-assisted rehabilitation training. The robot type was mainly wearable robot, which was mainly used to train lower limb motor function, upper limb motor function, gait ability and so on. A total of 55.9% (52/93) of departments believed that robot-assisted rehabilitation training was more effective than conventional rehabilitation training. Hospital type, department bed turnover times, and daily training time were the main factors affecting the effectiveness of robot-assisted training, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Among the 93 departments that had used robots, 22.6% (21/93) of the departments had not experienced any negative events in the robot-assisted rehabilitation training. The 143 departments that had not yet used robots had a positive attitude towards robots, and the main reasons for not using robots were that robots were too expensive, lacked the guidance of technicians, and were afraid to use them without professional training. Conclusions:Robot-assisted training has been concerned and tried to use by neurological disease-related departments, but the safety still needs to be further enhanced. Medical institutions should formulate robot-assisted rehabilitation training guidelines as soon as possible to guide the application and development of robot-assisted training.
