ObjectiveTo explore the effects of nutritional intervention and individualized nursing on nutritional risk, undernutrition and quality of life (QOL) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with peritoneal dialysis. MethodsA total of 104 ESRD patients with peritoneal dialysis who met the inclusion criteria of the protocol were enrolled and randomized to receive nutritional intervention plus individualized nursing ( study group, n =52 analyzed) or self-diet plus routine nursing ( control group, n =50 analyzed) for 6 months. Nutritional risk, anthropometry, and QOL of the two groups were analyzed pre- and post-nutritional intervention. ResultsBaseline data were comparable in the two groups. Prevalences of nutritional risk and undernutrition in study group were significant lower than those in control group after the intervention ( nutritional risk: 32.6% vs. 56.0%, P =0.028 ;undernutrition: 15.4% vs. 34.0%, P =0.038). The decrease of grip strength in study group between pre- and post-study was significantly less than that in control group [( - 1.6 ± 0.9 ) kg vs. ( - 9.9 ± 1.4 ) kg, P =0.001], but there were no significant differences in other parameters related to anthropometry, including triceps skin-fold thickness, upper arm circumference, and arm muscle circumference ( all P > 0.05 ). The QOL score significantly increased in study group after intervention but decreased in control group. The differences of renal disease and dialysis-related scores ( △KDTA: 2.5 ± 4.4 vs.- 7.9 ± 7.4, P =0.001 ) and general condition scores (△SF-36 : 3.4 ±4.1 vs.- 6.8 ± 6.3, P =0.001 ) before and after intervention were significantly different between two groups. ConclusionNutrition intervention and individualized nursing may help to improve the nutritional status and QOL in ESRD patients with peritoneal dialysis.

Objective To analyze the cases of malignant tumors found in health examination in our hospital, and to determine the prevalence and characteristics of malignant tumor, and to provide evidence for the development of effective early screening program. Methods A total of 468673 subjects were included from those who had health checkup from July 2009 to December 2014 at the physical examination center. The subjects were between 4 to 96 years of age, with average age of (56.0±12.5) years. Of them, there were 278484 men, 190189 women. All cases found in the examination were confirmed with pathological testing. Prevalence comparison was done withχ2 test, statistic significance level was set at P<0.05. Results Totally 753 cases of malignant tumors were found in 6 consecutive years, with an overall prevalence rate at 160.7/100000. The prevalence rate increased yearly from 50.0/100000 for the first year, and 100.6/100000, 146.1/100000, 149.1/100000, 188.9/100000, 221.6/100000 thereafter. The difference between each 2 years was statistically significant (P<0.01). The top ten malignant tumors were liver cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, leukemia and thyroid cancer. The prevalence rates of malignant tumors in the top three were liver cancer, lung cancer and kidney cancer for man and cervical cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer for women respectively. With the increase of age, the incidence of malignant tumor showed a rising trend, especially for the group of over 80 years old. But women with cervical cancer in the 50-years age group was the highest. Conclusion The number of cases of malignant tumors found in the health checkup population was rising. It is important to include early screening for malignant tumor in physical examination. We should also pay attention to the relevant departments, in order to improve the early cancer detection rate and decrease the morbidity and mortality of malignant tumors.

Objective To explore the value of strain rate imaging (SRI) technology in the diagnosis of hypertension patient with re-gional left ventricular early diastolic dysfunction. Methods 50 essential hypertension patients were divided into hypertension Group Ⅰ and Group Ⅱ, including 31 patients with normal left ventricular and 19 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. 25 healthy people were used as the control group. SRI was done in the six different basal myocardial segments and the parameters of SRI were compared with that of Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) and pulse Doppler (PW). Results In the hypertension group, SRe of the six different basal myocardial segments was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), but (SRa) of hypertension group was higher (P<0.05). SRe was negatively correlated with the patients'illness development (r=-0.89, P<0.05), but SRa was positively correlated (r=0.97, P<0.05). And the SRe/SRa<1 detection rate of Group Ⅱ was higher than that in Group Ⅰ, and the ratio in the control group was lowest(P<0.05). Total detection rate of SRI (88%) was higher than Em/Am <1 of DTI (79.67%) and E/A < 1 of PW(60%), and these changes were more obvious in Group Ⅰ. SRI was higher than DTT and PW (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional technology and methods, SRI could pro-vide more accurate diagnoses to hypertension patient with regional left ventricular early diastolic dysfunction.
