Objective To investigate the service requirements and health and safety problems in home care among senile cerebrovascular disease patients above 65 years old and provide the direction and basis for the home care.Methods 78 cases of elderly patients with cerebrovascular sequela 2 years after discharge were selected as the research objects.One-on-one interviews with patients and their families,the self-made questionnaire were sent out,the patients' service item requirements and the main health and safety problems were reorganized,then the corresponding nursing intervention was implemented.One year later,patients were revisited and investigated again.Results In elderly patients,there were many health and safety issues in home care,their nursing service demand was high.After giving corresponding nursing intervention of health guidance,the incidence of aspiration,fall,falling out of bed,bedsore,sleep disorders,urinary tract infection was effectively reduced.Conclusions The mode of family care should be established on the basis of demand of home care by elderly cerebrovascular disease patients,which conforms to the ac-tual situation of our country,in order to improve patients' self-care ability and life quality.

Aim To observe the protective effects of choline and pilocarpine,the M3 receptor agonists,on the arrhythmias of Wistar rats induced by barium chloride.Methods Barium chloride was used to induce the experimental arrhythmias of Wistar rats.Choline,pilocarpine,and 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine-methiodide (4-DAMP),the selective antagonist of M3 receptor,were used to explore the effects of M3 receptor on the arrhythmias induced by barium chloride.The occurence and the severity of arrhythmias were observed.Results Choline 10 mg?kg-1 and pilocarpine 0.2 mg?kg-1 inhibited the occurence of arrhythmias,shortened the duration of arrhythmias (P

[Objective] To explore the risk factors for mortality of bloodstream infections in the patients with hematologic diseases,so as to provide evidence for reasonable and effective application of treatments.[Methods] The clinical data of 242 cases of bloodstream infections who were hospitalized from Jan 2012 to Jun 2016 were analyzed retrospectively,then the analysis was performed for risk factors.The statistical analysis was processed by SPSS 19.0.[Results] A total of 266 strains of pathogens were isolated,including 99 strains of gram-positive bacteria,accounting for 37.2％,and 164 strains of gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 61.7％.Multivariate analysis showed that the significant independent risk factors for mortality were active states of hematologic diseases (P =0.007,OR =5.622,95％ CI 1.586 ～ 19.924),presentation with septic shock(P =0.007,OR =4.978,95％ CI 1.560 ～15.884),cardiac insufficiency (P =0.001,OR =11.878,95％ CI 2.760 ～ 51.120),level of albumin less than 35 g/L (P =0.036,OR =3.468,95％ CI 1.087 ～ 11.066),polymicrobial infection (P =0.010,OR =6.024,95％ CI 1.540 ～ 23.563),and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (P =0.001,OR =19.308,95％ CI 3.392 ～ 109.888)/Enterococcus (P =0.002,OR =15.266,95％ CI 2.817 ～82.728) infection.The survival curves show that the inappropriate initial antimicrobial therapy group or presentation with any one of the independent risk factors had a lower probability of survival than the control group.[Conclusions] Bloodstream infections in patients may cause high mortality rate,so it is necessary that we use antibiotic reasonably and spare no effort to reduce the mortality rate by appropriate application of antimicrobial therapy and effective intervention of the risk factors.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlation between interleukin-18 (IL-18) level and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score as well as risk stratification in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to determine the clinical prognostic value of IL-18 for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in ACS patients. METHODS: A total of 150 ACS patients were subjected to risk assessment and stratification with GRACE risk score. All ACS patients received conventional treatments and MACE was recorded. Plasma IL-18 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the relationship between plasma IL-18 level and GRACE scores in ACS patients was analyzed. Predictive accuracy of IL-18 level and GRACE risk score for MACE were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve and the corresponding area under the curve. RESULTS: According to GRACE risk stratification, IL-18 level was significantly elevated in the high risk group (>140) compared with that in the middle risk group (109-140; P<0. 05), while IL-18 level was significantly elevated in the middle risk group compared with that in the low risk group (≤108; P<0. 05). According to the IL-18 level, patients were stratified into 4 groups by quartile (from the lowest to the highest, Q1-Q4). Compared with Q1-Q3 groups, the GRACE risk score and percentage of high risk patients were the highest in the Q4 group (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that IL-18 level was positively related with GRACE risk score and that the area under the curve of IL-18 level and GRACE risk score for predicting MACE in hospital patients were 0.887 and 0.914, respectively. CONCLUSION Both IL-18 level and GRACE risk score are valuable parameters for risk of MACE in patients with ACS. IL-18 may be an important biomarker in the prognosis of ACS patients.

The craniospinal radiotherapy method was studied by using the whole body positioning frame and base dose plan compensation (BDPC) technique.11 patients with central nervous system malignancies in our hospital were studied. Use whole body positioning frame with the head - neck shoulder and body membrane to immobilize posture, then use BDPC for the intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Target area conformability index(CI), homogeneity index (HI), dose of endangerment organ (OAR) and beam connecting dose distribution are evaluated. The use of base-dose-compensation intensity-modulated plan combined with whole-body positioning technology improves the target area conformability and target uniformity, simplifies the design of craniospinal radiotherapy, improves the placement accuracy and ensure good placement repeatability. We measure beam connecting dose distribution. Cold and hot spots do not appear, and calculated values are basically identical. The application of whole-body positioning technique combined with BDPC optimization method in the treatment of the craniospinal radiotherapy meets the clinical requirements of dosimetry. Moreover, it is simple and can improve the treatment planning efficiency.
