Objective To understand the status of post-traumatic growth of severe burn patients and analyze its influencing factors. Methods General information questionnaire and post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI) were used to investigate thirty patients with severe burn. Multi-linear regression method was used to analyze the post-traumatic influencing factors. Results The average score of PTGI was (68.30 ± 10.90), which was in media level. The main influencing factors included burn area, active exercise, time and expense of treatment, marital status and sear proliferation. Conclusion In order to improve the post-traumatic growth,nurses should enhance psychological intervention, teach effective coping strategies and increase the social level to the burn patients.

Objective To explore the function of intensive care unit (ICU) in earthquake disaster. Mothod ICU in tent set by doctors from Second Military Medical University and Sichuan Jiangyou People's Hospital in 5·12 Wenchuan earthquake disaster. The value of ICU in tent was estimated by retrospective analysis of the experi-ence of emergency treatment for the critical injuries. Results Inside ICU in tent,there were many critical patients successfully rescued, including a soldier with septic shock, a casualty with traumatic shock during aftershock, a middle school student with crush injury and cornpartment syndrone, a peasant trapped under mined buildings for 168 hours with capillary leak syndrome, and a traffic victim and an aged patient with cardiac arrest. Patients after replatation of severed limb and patients after thoracic operation were monitored. Teaching rounds in the wards and logistics health drilling were made as well. Conclusions ICU in tent as a place where the critical casualties and patients after major operations could be rescued,cared for and monitored successfully,as well as the venue of teach-ing activity and logistics health drilling.

Objective To investigate SCCmec types in clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) carrying psm-mec.Methods We collected 165 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis identified by automated microbiological identification system and screened MRSE by PCR amplification of esp and mecA gene.Strains with psm-mec were identified by amplification of psm-mec,fudoh and p221 DNA fragment;mec,ccr and SCCmec typing was conducted by multiplex PCR assay.Results Among 138 strains of MRSE,29 strains were identified as MRSE with psm-mec,and the carrying rate was 17.58%.Results of mec and ccr typing by multiple PCR showed that MRSE with psm-mec carried Class A mec,but the ccr type had obvious diversity.Results of SCCmec typing showed that all strains with psm-mec belonged to type Ⅱ and/or Ⅲ SCCmec.Conclusion Clinical isolates of MRSE with psm-mec carry homologous type Ⅱ and/or Ⅲ SCCmec harboring Class A mec.

Osteoporosis(OS)is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and increased risk of fracture.Bone mineral density(BMD)is a gold standard in the diagnosis of OS,but is not sensitive enough for detecting the earlier bone loss.Bone metabolic markers have high sensitivity and specificity.Therefore,they are able to reflect the early changes of bone mass and can be used to monitor the efficacy of anti-OS agents.This article summarizes the research advance in both traditional and newly identified bone metabolic markers.

Objective To establish protein fingerprinting identification model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and to lay a foundation for rapid identification of P. aeruginosa by proteinchip golden array. Methods Sixty-four P. aeruginosa and one hundred and ninety-nine control bacteria identified in our laboratory were collected and divided into training and testing group. Surface enhanced laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) and proteinchip golden array were used to detect the protein profiling of the bacteria. Data were automatically collected by Ciphergen Proteinchip Software and protein markers of P. aeruginosa were screened by BioMarker Wizard Software. Classification tree model was developed and validated by BioMarker Patterns Software. The model was blindly tested with twenty-nine P. aeruginosa and sixty-four control bacteria. Results Eighty protein peaks were detected between 3000 and 20 000, among which fifty-eight ones showed significantly difference between P. aeruginosa and the control bacteria (P<0.01). By BioMarker Patterns Software, one protein peak ( M/Z at 14 045.2) was chosen to develop a classification tree model. The results exhibited with sensitivity of 96. 55% and specificity of 100%. Conclusion Proteinchip golden array has the potential for rapid identification of P. aeruginosa.
