Objective To explore the effect of enteral nutrition applied to bowel preparation of diabetes patients before electronic colonoscopy. Methods A total of 172 diabetes patients were randomly allocated to the experimental group and the control group with 86 patients in each group. The experimental groups executed no dietary restriction within 3 days before the examination, and received Ensure 1h before colonoscopy. However,the control group was given low residue diet within 3 days before the examination, and received no Ensure before colonoscopy. The enteral cleanness and incidence of hypoglycemic reaction, abdominal pain and horror was compared between the two groups. Results 72 cases(83.72%) of the experimental group and 70 cases (81.40%) of the control group had better enteral cleanness, and there was no statistical difference in intestinal cleanness between the two groups. In the experimental group the incidence of hypoglycemic reaction, abdominal pain, horror was significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusions Bowel preparation with unrestricted diet and ingested ensure before colonoscopy can not only ensure intestinal cleanness but also enhance endurance of colonoscopy.

Objective:To investigate the effect ofGuilong Kechuanning tablets combine with antibiotic drugs on pulmonary infection after chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer,so as to reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection in hospital.Methods:A total of 120 patients with lung cancer complicated with pulmonary infection,who underwent chemotherapy in Baoji Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2013 to August 2015,were selected and randomly divided into control group (n=60) and experiment group (n=60).The control group was treated with Ceftizoxime,based on which,the experiment group was added oral Guilong Kechuanning tablets.The course oftreatment of the two groups was 2 weeks.Inflammation indicators of the two groups were compared before and after treatment,and the clinical effect,hospitalized time,antifebrile time,time significantly reduced of cough and expectoration,disappearance time of lung rales and the pulmonary bacterial clearance rate were observed between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate (91.67％) of experiment group was significantly higher than that(73.33％) of control group (x2=13.121,P=0.004).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in WBC,CRP and NEUT levels between the two groups (P＞0.05);while after treatment,the levels of WBC,CRP and NEUT were all lower than those before treatment in both groups (all P＜0.05),and the levels of WBC,CRP and NEUT in the experiment group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the bacterial clearance rate (99.09％) of the experiment group was significantly higher than that (86.94％) of the control group (x2=54.876,P=0.000).Conclusion:Guilong Kechuanning tablets combined with antibiotic drugs can effectively control the pulmonary infection after chemotherapy in the patients with lung cancer,and can improve the clinical symptoms and inflammatory reaction,which is worthy of clinical application.

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of hypothyroidism on left ventricular systolic function using real-time three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (RT3D-STI). Thirty hypothyroidism patients and forty healthy volunteers were recruited and received RT3DSTI measurement of global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), and global area strain (GAS). A comparison of differences between the hypothyroidism patients and those in the healthy group was carried out and we obtained the results as followings. The values of GLS were (-18.93 +/- 3.89) vs. (-21.44 +/- 1.99), with P < 0.01, GRS were (51.13 +/- 11.95) vs. (56.10 +/- 5.76), with P < 0.0; and GAS were (-31.63 +/- 5.38) vs. (-34.40 +/- 2.32), with P < 0.01, i.e. they were lower in hypothyroidism group than those in the health group. While GCS were (-17.75 +/- 1.92) vs. 17.03 +/- 3.45), with P > 0.05, which were not significantly different between the two groups. In linear regres sion, GLS showed significant correlation with both TSH (b = -0.69, P < 0.01) and FT3 (b = 0.71, P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the GRS (b = 2.98, P < 0.05) and GAS (b = 3.11, P < 0.05) linearly correlated with FT3 level. In conclusion, the present study shows that the global longitudinal and radial moves of left ventricular are weaker in patients with hypothyroidism than healthy controls. And the impairment of left ventricular function would aggravate as FSH rises or FT3 declines.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Nanog and Oct4 (stem cell transcription factors) in endometriosis and adenomyosis, and to explore their potential functions in the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis. Methods The expressions of Nanog and Oct4 in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of 50 patients with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis (ectopic endometrium group and eutopic endometrium group), and 21 patients free from endometriosis and adenomyosis (control group) were detected by immunohistochemical SABC methods. Statistical analysis was conducted for the correlation between the expressions of Nanog and Oct4 based on patients′ clinical pathological parameters. Results Nanog and Oct4 protein expressions in ectopic endometrium group were higher than that in control group (P<0.01);the expressions of Nanog and Oct4 in eutopic endometrium group and control group showed no significance (P > 0.05); there was positive correlation between the expressions of Nanog and Oct4 in ectopic endometrium group (r = 0.590, P < 0.01). Conclusion Nanog and Oct4 present high expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrium , which may play a important role in the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of abdominal breathing training on sleep disorders in elderly patients with chronic heart failure. Methods Total of 100 patients with chronic heart failure complain of sleeping disorders and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)>7 points were assigned into two groups by random digits table method, 50 cases in each group. The observation group and the control group were nursed in the same way except that abdominal breathing was adapted to the observation group. Sleep status, heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2 and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were evaluated before training, one week and eight weeks after training respectively. Statistics was used to analyze the differences between two groups. Results After training one week, the sleep status of the observation group was ameliorated, but without significant difference compared to the control group (P>0.05). And after training eight weeks, the PSQI, BNP and heart rate were (9.21 ± 6.38) points, (193.78 ± 152.16) μg/L, (63.5 ± 10.8) times/min in the observation group, and (12.92 ± 0.33) points, (417.55 ± 262.47) μg/L, (70.7 ± 8.5) times/min in the control group, and there was significant differences between 2 groups (t=3.627, 2.041, 2.767, all P < 0.05), while the blood pressure, SpO2 did not change obviously(P>0.05). Conclusions Abdominal breathing training could ameliorate sleep status in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.
