Conclusion While cases chosen properly and adequate operative preparation, it is feasible and valuable to carry out cesarean section and myomectomy at the same time.

Objective　To observe the influence of intravenous anesthesia with ketamine or propofol on intraocular pressure (IOP) in pediatric patients. Methods　27 pediatric patients, ASA grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, were divided into ketamine and propofol groups. Basic anesthesia was conducted with ketamine 4～6 mg*kg-1 combined droperidol 0.04～0.1 mg*kg-1 intramuscularly. Anesthesia maintained with continous infusion of 0.04% ketamine or 0.04% propofol following intravenous bolus of ketamine 1 mg*kg-1 or propofol 1 mg*kg-1 in ketamine group and propofol group respectively. IOP, systemic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), heart rate(HR) and pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2) were measured at 10 minutes after basic anesthesia, 3 minutes after intravenous bolus of ketamine or propofol and end of surgery. Results　There were no differences in IOP between two groups after basic anesthesia. IOP increased or decreased significantly after intravenous bolus of ketamine or propofol respectively. IOP in ketamine group decreased near to the level in propofol group at end of surgery. There were no statistic differences in SBP, DBP and HR between two groups priopration. SpO2 did not change (but in one patient decreasing to below 95% ) and significantly decreased within 5 minutes of intravenous bolus of ketamine and propofol respectively. Conclusion　Ketamine increases IOP propofol decreases IOP. Ketamine combined propofol can keep from increase of IOP but strength respiration inhibition.

Objective To study the allocation and requirements of ICU nurses in the intemal medicine department of National Medical Emergency Rescue Team,and explore more reasonable ICU nurses allocation method.Methods 40 patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 20 cases in each group.The control group adopted even allocation method,while the observation group allocated nurses according to ICU nursing evaluation system.The nursing effect was compared between two groups.Results ICU nursing score between two groups showed no significant difference,but the ICU indwelling time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group.Conclusions ICU nurses need higher comprehensive quality.ICU nursing evaluation system can facilitate the allocation of nurses.Better allocation and higher overall qualities of internal medicine ICU nurses can improve ICU treatment efficiency.

ObjectiveTo investigate the roles of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 and 9 in herpes zoster (HZ).Methods Venous blood samples were collected from 40 patients with HZ and 16 normal human controls. Flow cyometrywas usedto detect the expressionsof TLR3and TLR9inperipheralblood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from these subjects.ResultsThe percentages of PBMCs expressing TLR3 and TLR9 were significantly higher in patients than in normal human controls(both P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of TLR3 and TLR9 in PBMCs were negatively correlated with the age of onset(r =-6.23,-5.88respectively,both P ＜ 0.01 ),but uncorrelated with gender or age.There was a significant difference in the expression levels of TLR3 and TLR9 in PBMCs between different age groups ( ＜ 40 years,40-50 years,＞ 50 years) of patients with HZ(F =3.410,P ＜ 0.01 ),with the strongest expression observed in patients younger than 40 years.ConclusionTLR3 and TLR9 may participate in the pathogenesis of HZ.

Objective To evaluate out-patient individual health education prescription by diabetes nurse specialist on related knowledge of type-2 diabetes mellitus and blood glucose.Then combined with patient satisfaction surveys to explore the intervention value of out-patient individual health education prescription.Methods 100 out-patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus were chosen,and gave them individual health education prescription by evaluate individual condition and existing problems with previous treatment protocol unchanged,the prescription content included individual condition,diet,exercise,medication instructions and disease condition monitoring.The grasp of related knowledge of type-2 diabetes mellitus and satisfaction degree with diabetes nurse specialist were investigated by questionnaires.Results 3 months after individual health education,The grasp of related knowledge of type-2 diabetes mellitus,blood glucose and 2 hours' postprandial blood glucose greatly alleviated.Total satisfaction degree of patients reached 94%.Conclusions Paying attention to individualized instruction and out-patient individual health prescription in prevention and treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus accords with humanization of nursing service,and is a powerful measure to improve health education quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous apelin-13 on oxidative stress, myocardial inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis in diabetic model rats.Methods A total of 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal control group (NC, n=8) and experimental group (EX, n=32).Diabetes was induced by feeding with high-sugary and high-fat diet for 8 weeks and a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (30 mg/kg).The wellestablished 28 diabetic model rats were then randomly divided into 2 subgroups: model group (DM, n =14) and apelin-13 administration group (AP, n =14).The rats in AP group were given intraperitoneal administration of apelin-13 at a single dose of 0.1 μtmol · kg-1 · d-1 for 10 weeks, while NC group and DM group were given 0.9％ NaCl in the same way.All rats were sacrificed at the end of the week 10.Blood hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO) and malonaldehyde (MDA) were measured by colorimetry, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in rat myocardium were detected by immunohistochemistry.Masson staining was used to observe the myocardial fibrosis in rats of different groups.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was determined by TUNEL.Results (1) Compared with NC groups, DM group showed that MDA, H2O2 and NO were significantly increased, while SOD was significantly decreased (F=22.400, 6.230, 4.267 and 8.901, all P＜0.0167).There was a statistically significant difference in the levels of MDA, H2O2,SOD between DM group and AP group.(2) The expression of TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly higher inDMgroup than inNCgroup (0.0599±0.0208 vs.0.0076±0.0031, F=35.139;0.0503±0.0243 vs.0.0071± 0.0024, F=15.946, both P＜0.0167).After 10 weeks of apelin-13 administration, the levels of inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased in AP group than in DM group.(3) The myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis were significantly increased in DM group than in NCgroup [0.0293±0.0061 vs.0.0030-t-0.0013 and 0.0708±0.0420 vs.0.0013±0.0003, F=84.930 and 19.420, both P＜0.0167].The myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis were significantly decreased in AP group than in DM group (both P＜0.0167).Conclusions To some extent, apelin13 reduces the levels of oxidative stress and myocardial inflammation reaction in type 2 diabetes.Moreover, it may play a vital role in the improvement of myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis.
