Objective:To investigate the perceptions of ICU patients on nurse caring behaviors and related factors,then raise nursing straties. Methods:101 ICU patient samples were selected from two tertiary general hospital(sGrdae A)in Fuzhou.The mod- ified caring behavior assessmen(tCBA)scale was used to interview the subjects. Results:The most important caring behaviors were to help patients satisfy their basical requiments. There were statistically significant differences in the perceptions of importance of nurse caring behaviors among the patients’demographic data such as marriage and length stayed in ICU.Conclusion:ICU patients need nurse caring behaviors. Nurses should provide patients with individual caring behaviors to satisfy their requi-ments. So nursing quality and patient satisfaction would be improved.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic esophageal variceal ligation (EVL) for esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) in elderly patients with hepatic cirrhosis.Methods From July 2007 to July 2013,clinical data of 198 patients who had been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis presenting with EVB were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,167 patients who had received EVL were divided into the elderly EVL group (n=97,age≥60 years) and the non-elderly EVL group (n=70,aged ＜ 60 years).The other 31 cases (aged ≥ 60 years) had received propranolol therapy.Treatment effectiveness,adverse effects,complications and the one-year survival rate of each group were analyzed.Results The efficacy rates and variceal recurrences were 77.3％ (75/97) and 78.6％ (55/70) in the elderly EVL group and 19.6％ (19/97) and 18.6％ (13/70) in the non-elderly EVL group,respectively,with no significant difference between the two groups (each P＞0.05).The re-bleeding rate was higher in the propranolol treatment group than in the elderly and non-elderly EVL groups [58.1％ (18/31) vs.24.7％ (24/97) vs,22.9％ (16/70),x2 =14.76,P =0.00].One-year survival rates in the elderly group,the non-elderly EVL group and the propranolol treatment group were 86.6 (84/97),88.6％ (62/70),64.5％ (20/31),respectively,with statistically significant differences between the three groups (x2 =10.24,P=0.01).Conclusions EVL is effective for the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis with EVB and can be used as a secondary prophylaxis measure for EVB in elderly patients with hepatic cirrhosis.

Objective To compare the differences in the efficacy of Bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets.Bifidobacterium triple viable capsules and live Bacillus licheniformis capsule in the treatment of persistent and chronic diarrhea.Methods From September 2015 to June 2016,a total of 484 outpatients with persistent and chronic diarrhea were enrolled and divided into observation group (treated with Bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets) and control group (treated with the combination of Bifidobacterium triple viable capsules and live Bacillus licheniformis capsule).Before and after treatment,the frequency of defecation and the characters of stool were observed and the differences in the treatment efficacy in persistent and chronic diarrhea between two groups were compared.Paired t test and Chi square test were used to compare the difference before and after treatment in each group,and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups.Results There were a total of 256 patients in the observation group (four cases lost and 256 cases were completed).Meanwhile there were 228 patients in the control group (30 cases lost and 228 cases completed).In the observation group,after treatment the frequency of defecation was (2.13±1.06) times,which was less than that before treatment ((3.83±0.95) times),and the difference was statistically significant (t=29.149,P＜0.01).In the control group,after treatment the frequency of defecation was (2.19 ± 1.06) times,which was less than that before treatment ((3.87 ±0.98) times),and the difference was statistically significant(t =27.800,P＜0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of defecation before and after treatment between two groups (t=-0.460 and-0.662,both P＞0.05).Furthermore there was also no statistically significant difference in the rate of normal bowel movements between observation group and treatment group after treatment (50.8％(130/256) vs 57.9％(132/228;x2=2.458,P=0.117).There was no significant difference in effective rate (64.8％(166/256) vs 69.7％ (159/228) and excellence rate (47.7％ (122/256) vs 51.3％ (117/228)) between two groups (P=0.253 and 0.422);besides,no severe adverse events were reported.Conclusion In the aspect of improving of times of defecation and characters of stool in patients with persistent and chronic diarrhea,single medication of multi bacteria strains Bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets has the same satisfied efficacy and good safety as the combination of Bifidobacterium triple viable capsules and live Bacillus licheniformis capsule.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL)in esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB)in elderly patients with hepatic cirrhosis,and the safety of endoscopic operation under anesthesia.Methods From July 2007 to July 2013,170 patients diagnosed as liver cirrhosis complicated with EVB were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,139 patients who received EVL were divided into elderly anesthesia group (n=52,age≥60 years),elderly non-anesthesia group (n=45 ,age≥60 years)and non-elderly anesthesia group (n=42,age<60 years);the other 31 cases (age≥60 years) received propranolol therapy.The degree of satisfaction of visual fields and esophageal peristalsis under the gastroscope,the effect,adverse effects and complications of EVL,the recurrence of EVB and mortality of each group were analyzed.Two-way analysis of variance and crosstabs chi square test were performed for statistical analysis.Results The satisfaction rate of visual fields and esophageal peristalsis under the gastroscope were 82.5 % (104/126)and 89.7% (113/126)in elderly anesthesia group;82.6% (71/86) and 89.5 % (77/86)in non-elderly anesthesia group;40.3% (29/72)and 44.4% (32/72)in elderly non-anesthesia group.The satisfaction rate of visual fields and esophageal peristalsis under the gastroscope in anesthesia group were better than those in non-anesthesia group (χ2 =47.46,64.28;both P <0.01 ). The efficacy rates of EVL in elderly anesthesia group,elderly non-anesthesia group and non-elderly anesthesia group were 84.6%(44/52 ),68.9%(31/45 )and 81 .0%(34/42 ),respectively.The variceal recurrence rates were 19.2% (10/52 ),20.0% (9/45 )and 19.0% (8/42 ),respectively.There was no significant difference among them (all P > 0.05). Rebleeding rate of medication treatment group was 58.1%(18/31),which was obviously higher than that of elderly anesthesia group (19.2%,10/52 ), elderly non-anesthesia group (31 .1 %,14/45 )and non-elderly anesthesia group (23.8%,10/42 ),and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =15 .10,P <0.01 ).No case of hepatic encephalopathy was found in elderly anesthesia group or non-elderly anesthesia group after EVL.The incidence of pneumonia in elderly non-anesthesia group was 4.2%(3/72),which was higher than that of elderly anesthesia group and non-elderly anesthesia group,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =8.93,P =0.01). The mortality within a month after EVL in elderly anesthesia group,elderly non-anesthesia group and non-elderly anesthesia group was 0,8.9% (4/45 )and 0,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =9.27,P =0.01).Conclusion The efficacy of EVL under anesthesia in EVB in elderly patients with liver cirrhosis was good,with no induction or aggravation of hepatic encephalopathy or irreversible complications were found.

The binding capacity (R_o) and apparant dissociation constant (K_d) of glucocrticoid binding sites in hepatic cytosol of normal and scalded rats were measured by pseudoscatchard analysis. Compared with control group, the levels of Ro of glucocorticoid receptor was significantly decreased 1 h after scalding, partialy recovered at 12h after scalding and fully recovered at 24 h after scalding. The levels of low-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites were also decreased 12 h after scalding, but had no statistical significance. The possible significance of these results has been discussed.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of lactulose oral solution combined with PEG-4000 electrolyte lavage solution with PEG-4000 electrolyte lavage solution only in colonoscopy preparation.Methods A total of 121 patients preparing for colonoscopy were randomly divided into two groups:61 patients in lactulose oral solution combined with PEG-4000 electrolyte lavage solution group (the experimental group =group A),and 60 patients in PEG-4000 electrolyte lavage solution group(the control group =group B).During the colonoscopy,the endoscopist blindly scored the cleanness of the bowel,and recorded any adverse event to assess the safety.Results According to the Boston bowel preparation scale,the experimental group scored 7.07 ±0.79,and the control group scored 6.18 ± 1.03,which showed significant significance(P =0.000).There was no significant difference in the time of accessing rectum between the two groups[(8.80 ± 1.74) min VS(9.22 ± 1.94) min,P =0.220].Polyp detection rate in group A was higher than that in group B,with no significant difference (22.95％ VS 15.00％,P ＞ 0.05).The small polyp (≤0.5 cm)detection rate in group A was higher than that in group B with significant significance(P =0.038).No adverse event was recorded in either group.Conclusion The bowel preparation with lactulose oral solution combined with PEG-4000 electrolyte lavage solution is more effective than that with PEG-4000 electrolyte lavage solution alone.It will enhance the detection rate of small polyps with no evident adverse reactions.

BACKGROUND:Proteoglycan, chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid are important substances in the maintenance of intervertebral discs of normal structure. They impact the physiological function of intervertebral disc.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of Liuwei Dihuang Wan on proteoglycan in rabbit models of intervertebral disc degeneration, and to study the efficacy of Liuwei Dihuang Wan on prevention and treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.
METHODS:80 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into Liuwei Dihuang Wan group, model group, sham surgery group and blank control group (n=20 per group). Animal models of intervertebral disc degeneration were established in the model and Liuwei Dihuang Wan groups. In the sham surgery group, surgery via the same approach to expose the lumbar spine was conducted fol owed by layer-by-layer suturing. In the Liuwei Dihuang Wan group, rabbits were given 10 mg/kg Liuwei Dihuang Wan by lavage, once a day. In the model group, sham surgery group and blank control group, rabbits were given an equal volume of physiological saline, once a day, by natural feeding. At 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks, five rabbits from each group were sacrificed, and intervertebral disc specimens were taken to measure proteoglycan components in the intervertebral disc.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the extension of feeding time, Liuwei Dihuang Wan could increase sugar amino polysaccharide content, chondroitin sulfate/acid ratio of keratin, and hyaluronic acid content in the intervertebral disc degeneration model, and stabilized the proteoglycan content. Thus, it delayed the degeneration of the intervertebral disc to a certain extent.
