Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Chuankezhi acupoint injection combined with nursing health care education for treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at stable stage complicated with spleen kidney deficiency syndrome.Methods A prospective study was conducted. 118 patients with stable COPD and spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome admitted to Hangzhou Third People's Hospital and Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital from February to April 2014 were enrolled, and they were divided into an experimental group (60 cases) and a control group (58 cases) according to the random number table. Both groups were given conventional treatment [including oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, rehabilitation therapy in accord with the Global Initiative COPD (GOLD)]. Simultaneously, in the experimental group, Chuankezhi acupoint injection was additionally given, once daily for 12 weeks, and appropriate corresponding health education was mentioned. The lung function, quality of life and prognoses of the patients were regularly followed up for 9 months and compared between the two groups.Results After 12 weeks, one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) per minute in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group [FEV1 (L): 1.57±0.42 vs. 1.35±0.35, FEV1/FVC: (58.62±4.56)% vs. (50.36±4.35)%, MVV (L/min): 60.62±7.56 vs. 56.95±6.33, allP < 0.05]. The quality of life evaluation form for COPD (QLICD-COPD) was used to evaluate the physical function, psychological function, social function and specific modules scores, showing that the above items in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (total score: 74.69±8.92 vs. 68.62±8.95, physical function score: 74.16±8.55 vs. 66.31±7.15, mental function score: 78.69±9.79 vs. 72.64±8.45, social function score: 75.45±6.75 vs. 70.36±6.12, specific modules score: 67.52±6.33 vs. 61.36±6.17, allP < 0.05); Barthel index score was also significantly higher than that in the control group (75.41±9.24 vs. 68.43±7.95,P < 0.05). Within 9 months of follow-up, the incidence of acute exacerbation of COPD in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.00% (3/60) vs. 17.24% (10/58),P < 0.05]. The re-admission rate was also significantly less in patients in experimental group compared with that of control group [1.67% (1/60) vs. 12.07% (7/58),P < 0.05]. Conclusion Chuankezhi acupoint injection with health education for treatment of patients with COPD at stable stage and spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome has good clinical efficacy, worthy to be applied more widely.

Objective The alm of this study was to determine the solubility and permeability of daldzin and daldzein and the interaction of these two components.Methods With the method inChinese Pharmacopoeia and in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model we tested the solubility and permeability of daldzin, daldzein and their interaction.Results In pH 7.4 K-R buffer the solubility of daldzin was 6 times than daldzein and both the solubility of these two components were enhanced when they were determined together. In small intestine of rat, the permeability of daldzein was 3 times than daldzin. Daldzin could enhance the permeability of daldzein but the daldzein manifested an opposite trend.Conclusion When compared to daldzin, daldzein owned a lower solubility but a better permeability. When used together, both the solubility and permeability of daldzein would be enhanced. The solubility of daldzin could be enhanced slightly but its permeability would be reduced.

Objective:To describe the current situation in the nursing practice and their turnover intention in township health centers, and to analyze the changing potential influence in the nursing practice scope and workloads on their intention to leave those health centers. Methods:By means of a questionnaire, we conducted a survey on 167 nurses and interviewed 44 of them, all from 45 township hospitals within three provinces in China. Results:Since the healthcare system reform, the nursing workload in the township health centers significantly increased. 62% of the re-spondents considered their workload as heavy. Typically, the nursing work accounted for about 60% and the public health service work accounted for only 21% of the working hours. About 30% of the respondents were intended to leave their current job. The participating public health service was associated with intention to leave the job after con-trolling the province, workload, marital status, formal position, educational level and length of nursing service (P<0. 05). Conclusions:Since the healthcare system reform, the nursing practice scope in township health centers has been expanded and the workload increased considerably. But so far, expanding the scope of the nursing work may have potentials in reducing the intention of nurses to leave their current positions.
