Objective To evaluate the job burnout of the nurses in sterile laminar flow wards and offer proposals for improvements.Methods Forty nurses in sterile laminar flow wards were surveyed with MBI-GS.Results The scores of emotional exhaustion,cynicism,job inefficiency were higher after working in sterile laminar flow wards for 3 months than those working in general wards for 3 months.Conclusions The nurses in laminar flow wards are prone to have job burnout.Standardized training,humanized management and positive psvchological intervention can improve the job burnout of the nurses in laminar flow wards.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the status quo of pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance of hospital infection in intensive care unit,to provide evidence for the guidance of clinical rational administration and to decrease the hospital infection. METHODS Pathogenic bacteria were isolated from patients who suffered from hospital infection in intensive care unit from 2001 to 2004.K-B slip diffusion method was taken to carry out the sensitive test.Rate of drug resistance of the pathogenic bacteria was analyzed. RESULTS As the bacteria distribution,the highest isolated rate was 60.77%,which was isolated from the sample of respiratory tract.The main pathogenic bacteria were the Gram-negative bacilli(47.69%).And the second pathogenic bacteria were the mycetes(37.69%).The Gram-positive cocci(14.62%) occupied the third.The monitoring of the drug resistance showed that rate of the drug fast was rather higher.The detection rate of the meticillin-resistant staphylococci was 81.82%.The detection rate of the ESBLs from the Escherichia coli and the Klebsiella pneumoniae was 75.00% and 57.14%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS Intensive care unit is one of the highest risk departments for the hospital infection.Generally,the pathogenic bacteria are the multidrug-resistant ones.Enhanced monitoring on pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance analyses of hospital infection in intensive care unit could benefit for the guide of clinical rational administration,the depression of multidrug-resistant bacteria,and the decrease in hospital infection.

Objective To explore the effects of hyperlipidemia on serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and C-reactive protein(CRP) in the patients with cerebral infarction(CI).Methods Testing the serum levels of MMP-9,CRP and triglyceride(TG) in 36 CI patients [with high level TG(n=18) and with normal TG(n=18)] and 17 normal controls(NC group).The relationship among the serum levels of MMP-9,CRP and TG were analysed.Results The contents of MMP-9,CRP and TG were significantly higher in CI patients with high level TG group than those in normal level TG group and NC group(all P

Objective To observe the changes of the levels of serum soluble vascular adhesion protein(sVAP)-1 and C-reactive protein(CRP) in patients with cerebral infarction(CI).Methods The levels of serum sVAP-1 and CRP were detected in CI patients at acute stage (ACI group,20 cases) and at convalescence (CCI group,21 cases).The results were compared with normal controls(NC group,21 cases).Results The levels of serum sVAP-1,CRP in ACI group were significantly higher than those in CCI group and NC group(all P

Background:Intrahepatic cholestasis is a commonly seen clinical manifestation, and often accompanied with jaundice.Study on clinical characteristics of patients with different degrees of jaundice is helpful for the acknowledge of intrahepatic cholestasis.Aims:To explore the clinical characteristics of intrahepatic cholestasis with jaundice.Methods:General data, biochemistry parameters, etiology and treatment of 703 patients with intrahepatic cholestasis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Jaundice occurred in 168 patients (23.9%), including 149 mild jaundice, 15 moderate jaundice and 4 severe jaundice.Levels of ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, DBIL, TBIL, ratio of DBIL/TBIL, TBA were significantly increased in jaundice group than in non-jaundice group (P<0.05).Levels of ALT, AST, DBIL, TBIL, TBA were statistically different between groups with different degrees of jaundice (P<0.05), however, no significant differences in ALP, GGT, ratio of DBIL/TBIL were seen (P>0.05).The main etiology of intrahepatic cholestasis were digestive system tumors, cardiovascular diseases, shock, hematologic diseases and primary biliary cholangitis.Ursodeoxycholic acid and S-ademetionine were the main drugs for treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis.Conclusions:For patients with intrahepatic cholestasis, levels of ALT, AST, ALP, GGT are increased with the development of jaundice, and attention on damage of hepatocytes should be paid.The etiology of intrahepatic cholestasis with jaundice involves diseases of different organs and systems, most of them are malignant tumor, cardiovascular diseases, shock and primary biliary cholangitis.

Objective To study the hip angle characteristics in hemiplegic gait.Methods Gait analysis was performed in 20 subjects with hemiplegia and 20 healthy subjects and the hip joint angle of all subjects was analyzed.Results The hip joint angle of affected-side lower limb of hemiplegic gait showed significant differences between 20 subjects with hemiplegia and 20 healthy subjects on hip flextion at heel-contact,maximum extension in stand phase,flextion toe-off,maximum flexion in swing phase and total excursion on sagittal plane.Conclusion The research on the characteristics of hemiplegic gait is helpful to make clinical assessment and treatment planning.

Objective To investigate the effect of open nursing management on hospital rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia.MethodsThe outcome of group A,which included 113 patients in open nursing management,and group B,which included 141 patients in close nursing management at the same time,were evaluated with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS)and the Nurses' Observation Scale for Impatient Evaluation(NOSIE),etc.ResultsThe difference between the two groups in such as the time of symptoms improved,drugs administration,effective rates were not significant(P>0.05).The compliance of medicine,social capability and personal sanitation of group A were improved compared with those in group B(P<0.05),while the time stay in hospital obviously shortened(P<0.01).ConclusionThe open nursing management is helpful to improve the rehabilitation and shorten the time stay in hospital of patients with schizophrenia.

ObjectiveTo study the reliability and sensitivity of the gait analysis system based on digital video and image processing.Methods20 healthy subjects were assessed twice by the same doctor having one-week interval to investigate intraobserver reliability, they were also assessed twice separately by two doctors to investigate interobserver reliability. Gait parameters of affected limb of 20 hemiplegic patients were compared with 20 healthy subjects to investigate the sensitivity of this system.ResultsThere were high correlations in all the parameters between the two assessments. The parameters of the patients were significantly different from those of the controls.ConclusionThe system is sufficiently repeatable and sensitive in the assessment of gait.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of intedeukin(IL)-6, IL-15 and endometriosis (EM). Method The levels of IL-6, IL-15 in the peritoneal fluid (PF) and serum of 74 patients with EM (EM group) and 46 patients without EM (control group) were measured by double-an-tibody ELISA. Results Higher levels of IL-6 in PF and serum were observed in EM group [(1017.81±361.98) ng/L,(455.47±161.52) ng/L]than those in control group [(284.63±70.50) ng/L,(149.37± 43.09) ng/L], and there was significant difference (P<0.01). The levels of IL-6 in PF and serum in EM group with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ [(1253.44±189.63) ng/L, (556.50±93.34) ng/L]were significantly higher than those in patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ [(582.81±107.75) ng/L, (268.96±63.48) ng/L](P < 0.01). There was positive relationship between the levels of IL-6 in PF and serum (r=0.950, P=0.01). The levels of IL-15 in PF in EM group [(333.45±63.94) ng/L]were significantly higher than those in control group[(203.85± 70.52) ng/L](P<0.01). No significant difference was found in the levels of serum IL-15 between EM group and control group (P>0.05). No significant difference was observed either in the levels of IL-15 in PF and serum between patients with stsge Ⅲ-Ⅳ and stage of EM Ⅰ-Ⅱ (P>0.05). Conclusions The increase of IL-6, IL-15 in PF may contribute to the development of EM. Serum IL-6 levels are of clinical diagnostic value in patients with EM.
