Objective: To investigate the high risk factors of occurring the syndrome of cerebral-internal organs in the patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage(ACH).Methods: The serum concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH) were measured by electrochemical radiation in acute period of 37 cases with ACH and 24 cases with cerebral infarction,and compared to those of the 30 healthy controls.The correlations among levels of serum FSH,TSH,ACTH and condition of illness,amount of hemorrhage,critical chamber hemorrhage and the displacement of cerebral mid-line structures were observed.Results: The levels of FSH and TSH were significantly lower,and the levels of ACTH were obviously higher in cases with ACH and cerebral infarction than those of healthy volunteers,and their changes in levels were more obvious in patients with ACH than in patients with cerebral infarction (all P

Objective To investigate the characteristic and satisfaction degree of clinical applica-tion of "fingers pain score model" from the aspects of nurses and patients in order to evaluated the fea- sibility and pragmatism of the model. Methods "Fingers pain score model" was designed and to-gether with the NRS- 10 scale were applied in clinic for 2 years. Evaluation from both nurses and patients were in-vestigated after two-year probation, and the results underwent χ<'2> test. Results Evaluation from nurses on convenience, fidelity, communication and satisfaction of "fingers pain score model"were all sig-nificantly higher compared with the control. And evaluation from patients on direct-viewing,accuracy,re-ception and satisfaction of "fingers pain score model"were different from the NRS- 10 control, except for the fidelity. Conclusions Outweighing the NRS- 10 scale, the "fingers pain score model" is a better choice to meet the needs of the nurses and patients in pain evaluation in clinic.
