Objective To investigate the application of get-well treatments in the suffers after thorax opera- tion over 70 years old. Methods 68 suffers after thorax operation over 70 years old were divided to two groups. Comparison group( n = 32 ) is actualized general nurse. Experiment group( n = 36) is actualized lung function exercise before operation, and get-well treatments after operation, such as psychologic get-well, deep breath, abdominal breath, effective cough and sputuming, applying apparatus training breath; exercise limbs and body, atomization in- breath, and so on. Results The suffers in experiment group who have lung atrophy,lung infection, liquid in the tho- rax,the time in the hospital and the time holding thorax pipe are less than the suffers in comparison group. Conclu- sion Lung function exercise before operation and effective get-well treatments after operation have significant ef- fects on old suffers.

OBJECTIVE:To study the stability of Tramadol hydrochloride,Fentanyl citrate and Ondansetron hydrochloride in-jection in 0.9% Sodium chloride injection. METHODS:At room temperature [(25±1)℃],three injections were poured into infu-sion bag of disposable analgesia pump,and diluted with 0.9% Sodium chloride injection. The changes in precipitation,turbidity, color and pH value of the mixture were observed. The relative percentage of three injections within 72 h were determined by HPLC method. RESULTS:There was no significant change in the pH value and appearance of the mixture. Relative percentage of tramad-ol hydrochloride,fentanyl citrate and ondansetron hydrochloride were all higher than 97% within 72 h. CONCLUSIONS:The mix-ture of Tramadol hydrochloride,Fentanyl citrate and Ondansetron hydrochloride injection in 0.9% Sodium chloride injection keep stable within 72 h under room temperature.

Objective To examine the relationship between plasma homocysteine level and status of congestive heart failure. Methods Plasma homocysteine level was determined in 106 patients with congestive heart failure(CHF).Among them,40 patients were diagnosed as having recent onset of CHF(group 1) and the remaining 66 were receiving conventional treatment(group 2).Thirty healthy subjects were served as a control group. Results(The plasma) homocysteine levels in group 1,group 2 and the control group were(14.87?5.22),(13.25?5.45) and((7.52)?1.73) ?mol/L,respectively.The plasma homocysteine level was significantly higher in group 1 and group 2 than in the control group(P

Objective To observe the effect and safety of the human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue,liraglutide,versus insulin glargine in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin alone.Method Ninty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(aged 18-79 years,HbA1C 7.5％-10.0％,body mass index＜40 kg/m2) who had inadequate glycaemic control on metformin were allocated for the research with an open,randomized,parallel controlled clinical research method.The patients kept the original dose of metformin unchanged and were randomly assigned to the liraglutide group or the insulin glargine group according to a proportion of 1 ∶ 1.Liraglutide group started with a dose of 0.6 mg subcutaneous injection qd,changed to 1.2 mg subcutaneous injection qd after one week and kept unchanged until the end of the research.Insulin glargine group started with a dose of 0.1-0.2 U/kg according to the fingertips peripheral blood glucose level before breakfast on the continuous 3 d before every follow-up.At the baseline,after 4 weeks,12 weeks,20 weeks,and 26 weeks of treatment,HbA1C,blood glucose,lipids weight,blood pressure were arranged to measured.86 patients finally completed the study.Results Mean HbA1C and the success rate of HbA1C ＜7％ were similar between liraglutide group and insulin glargine group [(7.06 ± 0.87) ％ vs (7.25 ± 1.20) ％,47.73 ％ vs 45.23 ％,P＞0.05],while the percentage of subjects reaching the composite endpoint of HbA1C＜7％ with no hypoglycemia and no weight gain was significantly higher in liraglutide group than insulin group(P＜0.05) ; Fasting plasma glucose decreased more markedly in insulin glargine group,2 h postprandial plasma glucose was decreased more markedly in liraglutide group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Liraglutide significantly reduced mean body weight by (3.21 ± 1.18) kg,waist circumference by (3.82 ± 1.21) cm,and body mass index by (1.95 ± 0.61) kg/m2 (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05),while in the insulin glargine group there sere rise of respective figure of(2.86 ± 0.43) kg,(1.52 ± 0.56) cm,and (0.61 ± 0.25) kg/m2 (P＜0.05),systolic blood pressure and serum triglyceride declined.There was no serious adverse affect in both groups,the incidence of mild hypoglycemia was significantly less in liraglutide group and has a statistically significant difference (4.55％ vs 21.43％,P＜0.05).Conclusions Liraglutide showed a good effect on reducing weight,systolic blood pressure,blood lipid and in addition to blood glucose control which is comparable to insulin glargine.What is more,liraglutide had good safety and tolerability,which can be regarded as a good choice for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin alone.

Objective To compare the anthelmintic effect of albendazole with that of triclabendazole against Fasciola giganti-ca. Methods Two patients infected with Fasciola gigantica were investigated,and one was administered with albendazole orally (200 mg,twice per day for 5 days)and another was administered with triclabendazole[10 mg/(kg?d)for 2 days]. Their total fe-ces were collected daily during the period of whole therapy,and the eggs of the parasite were collected by using the nylon bag method,and incubated at 28℃. Results The parasite eggs were detected from the first patient’s dejecta on the 1st,2nd and 5th day after the end of the treatment,and no miracidiums hatched out as well as no eggs developed during the period of 25 days of the incubation. Meanwhile,her body temperature fluctuated between 37.4℃and 38.3℃,and she still complained bellyache. For the other invalid,the eggs were not detected on the 2nd and 5th day after the end of the treatment. However,the eggs before and dur-ing the treatment developed the miracidiums of Fasciola gigantica on the 13th day after the incubation,but the eggs collected from the 1st day after the termination of the therapy did not develop and no miracidiums hatched out. At the same time,the signs and symptoms of the patient vanished after the 4th day of the end of the therapy. Conclusions Albendazole has no obvious insecticid-al activity on adult Fasciola gigantica in the short term,but may affect the development of eggs. Triclabendazole has the anthelmin-tic effect on the adults as well as eggs of Fasciola gigantica. In addition,triclabendazole has the characteristics of well curative ef-fect,short course of treatment,and no obvious side effects.

The arterial supply of the human scaphoid was studied in 166 specimens ofhands from fresh cadavers of different ages ranging from 6(1/2)months of gestationto 89 years old by injection and clearing techniques.The scaphoid receives its bloodsupply mainly from the radial artery and its superficial palmar branch.There aretwo groups of nutrient arteries,the dorsal and the volar nutrient arteries,enteringthe scaphoid.The dorsal group of arteries which supplies the proximal 70% to 80%of the scaphoid is the main contributor to the intraosseous blood supply.The volargroup of arteries only supplies the distal 20% to 30% of the bone.An explanationfor the cause of scaphoid necrosis following fracture on the basis of the vascularitywas proposed.

Objective To perform modification study of cyanoacrylate (CA) medical adhesive and to select the optimal mo-difying material and the best ratio.Methods Carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), hydrophobic nano-silica, nitrile rubber, epoxy resin and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were used to modify 5% triclosan/cyanoacrylate antimicrobial adhesive respectively. The bond strength, toughness and viscosity of the modified adhesive were examined in different concentrations.Results 0.064% MWCNTs-COOH, 6% nano-silica, 4% nitrile rubber and 6.4% epoxy resin all had good effects in strength modification. The bond strength were (14.71±1.48)MPa, (14.03±1.92)MPa, (14.6±1.78)MPa and (14.05±1.46)MPa respectively. 8% nano-silica had the lowest Tg of (1.1±0.24)℃ and the strongest viscosity of (15 536.68±28.4)cP. When the nano-silica concentration was 8%, the compound was very viscous and sticky. When the antimicrobial adhesive modified with 6% nano-silica, the bond strength was (14.03±1.92)MPa, the Tg was (3.6±0.68)℃, and the viscosity was (5 278.87±31.68)cP.Conclusion 6% nano-silica is the best modifying material, and has the optimal effect of modification.

Objective To explore the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of serious pyogenic infection in deep neck. MethodsFrom January 2002 to April 2005,the clinical data of 22 patients hospitalized with serious pyogenic infection in deep neck were collected and retrospectively analysed. Results All the patients suffered unilaterally.Besides the symptoms of infection,dyspnea,pain in swallowing,limitation of mouth opening and progressive limitation of cervical activity were presented.Bacterial cultivation were performed in 14 patients and positive results were detected in six.Fourteen of all the 22 patients were cured with antibiotics,and abscess incision drainage was carried out in the other eight.Preoperative cervical PA-LAT X-ray photography and contrast-enhanced CT scanning were performed on one and seven patients,respectively,all of which indicated the formation of abscess.All the patients were cured except one who died of cerebral infarction and multiorgan dysfunction. Conclusion Imaging evaluation plays a significant role in the preoperative diagnosis and systemic treatment of serious pyogenic infection in deep neck.Bacterial cultivation provides reliable evidence for the etiopathogenisis and helps to make the effective treatment.

Abstract? AIM: To evaluate the efficiency of two different operation ways, vitrectomy and vitrectomy combined with inferior scleral buckling, for a complex kind of retinal detachment.?METHODS:The complex kind of retinal detachment were diagnosed in 100 cases ( 100 eyes ) , with the common features:1)the course of more than 1mo;2) at least one retinal hole located in the inferior marginal retina;3) the detachment of retina was found proliferated, there was at least 1 retinal fold in retinal detachment area. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group ( 50 eyes ) who received vitrectomy combined with inferior scleral buckling;the control group ( 50 eyes ) who received vitrectomy without scleral buckling. The retinal anatomic reattachment, visual function recovery, macular central fovea thickness and complications in two groups were observed.? RESULTS: There were 49 eyes ( 98%) with retinal anatomic reattachment in the treatment group while 42 eyes(84%)in control group(χ2=4.2605, P<0.05);the best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) was 0.254 ±0.238 in the treatment group while it was 0.219±0.229 in control group (t=1.8879,P>0.05);the macular central fovea thickness was 272 ±32.21μm in the treat group while it was 316 ± 33.46μm(t=12.597,P<0.01).Intraocular pressure in 12 eyes ( 24%) was more than 30mmHg in the treatment group while 4 eyes ( 8%) in control group within 1wk postoperation (χ2=4.7619,P<0.05); intraocular pressure in 100 eyes were controlled below 21mmHg 1mo postoperatively.? CONCLUSION: It is a more effective method to vitrectomy combined with inferior scleral buckling than the single vitrectomy for the special kind of retinal detachment.It can increase the rate of retinal anatomic reattachment and reduce macular edema.
