As the development of fast-tracking, the patient perception of readiness for hospital discharge is becoming more and more popular in discharge decision making. A lot of research indicates that the patient readiness of discharge can predict the satisfaction, the safety, readmission, death and compliance of the patients. This study is about to review the conception, research significances, measurements, and determinants of the discharge readiness. The primary objective was to analyze the determinants of hospital discharge, according to three aspects of patient factors, hospital factors and social support. This study is expected to offer theoretical support for the improvement of discharge readiness.

Objective To study the effects of community nursing interventions on stroke patients with attention disorders.Methods A total of 60 stroke patients fulfilling eligibility were divided randomly into two groups.Their data were collected between December 2010 and February 2012.The intervention group was treated by community nurses while the control group trained by family members.Attention was assessed by simple reaction time (SRT) and number cancellation test (NCT).Modified Barthel index was used to assess the activities of daily living (ADL).Both groups were evaluated before and after a 2-month intervention.Results Before treatment,the control group had(0.71 ± 0.25),(662.8 ± 152.7) and(31 ±8)scores at SRT,NCT and MBI respectively.And the intervention group yielded(0.69 ± 0.19),(652.7 ±131.0) and (30 ± 8)scores at SRT,NCT and MBI respectively.There were no significant differences in average value of SRT,NCT and MBI between training and control groups at pre-treatment (P ＞ 0.05).After 2 months,the control group had (0.68 ± 0.20),(637.4 ± 151.7) and (33 ± 8) scores at SRT,NCT and MBI respectively.And the intervention group yielded (0.56 ± 0.16),(540.3 ± 125.9) and(37 ± 8) scores at SRT,NCT and MBI respectively.Very significant difference existed in attention scale scores at Month 2 (P ＜ 0.01) and the difference in ADL scale scores was also significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For stroke patients with attention disorders,strengthening community nursing interventions may help to improve attention and boost activity of daily living.

Objective To study the location and significance of leptin and leptin receptor in rat submanibular gland. Methods Submandibular gland from SD rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin, leptin and leptin receptor immunohistochemical staining. Result The granular convoluted tube and striated duct were leptin and leptin receptor positive. The density of positive cells in granular convoluted tube were much high than those of in striated duct. The acini were negative.Conclusion leptin and leptin receptor were widly expressed in granular convoluted tube and striated duct. These results might indicate that submandibular gland participated in adjusting the balance of energy.;

Background Vitreous amyloidosis is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease,often leads to reduction of visual acuity and affects life quality of patients.Vitrectomy is the main treatment for vitreous amyloidosis,but the analysis of curative efficacy in China is rarely reported.Objective The study was to observe and analyze the efficacy of vitrectomy for vitreous amyloidosis.Methods The clinical data of 11 eyes from 6 patients with vitreous amyloidosis who received vitrectomy from March 2011 to February 2013 in Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure (IOP),manifestations under the slit lamp microscope,findings of ocular fundus and results of fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) were observed after surgery.Pathological examination for vitreous samples was carried by Congo red staining.Results Before surgery,the visual acuity was counting fingers for 30 cm in 5 eyes and hand movement for 30 cm in 6 eyes,and the mean IOP was (13.09±2.12)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa).Fixed white flocks in vitreous and white membrane on the posterior lens capsule were seen under the slit lamp microscope.The BCVA remained 1.0 in 7 eyes and 0.8 in 4 eyes 1 week,6 months and 2 years after vitrectomy,and the mean IOP was (13.32±2.07),(14.09±2.47),(12.32±1.87)mmHg at 1 week,6 months and 2 years after vitrectomy,respectively.FFA showed a little fluorescein leakage at peripheral retinal vessel in all eyes at 1 week after vitrectomy but the leakage disappeared at 6 months after vitrectomy.The white flocks increased at peripheral retina in 4 eyes at 2 years after vitrectomy,but the BCVA remained the same in the eyes.Pathological examination of vitreous specimens comfirmed the diagnosis of vitreous amyloidosis.Conclusions Vitrectomy is an effective method for the treatment of vitreous amyloidosis,which can effectively improve the visual acuity of patients.Postoperative recurrence of vitreous amyloidosis appear in parts of patients,but the BCVA is unaffected.

Objective To analyze the expression of dystrophin associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) in Duchnne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in different age groups. Methods The confirmed 24 DMD patients were divided into 3 groups according to their chronological age (children whose age between 1 to 3 were assigned to early childhood group; children whose age between 3 to 6 were assigned to preschool group; children whose age between 6 to 13 were assigned to school-age group). Several proteins from sarcolemmal muscle membrane were analyzed by immunohistocbemistry. Results The primary loss of dystrophin may lead to a secondary or completely deficiency of α-SG, β-SG, γ-SG,δ-SG, β-DG and dysferlin from sarcolemmal muscle membrane in different age groups. The expression of nNOS is completely deficient in the 3 groups, while the expression of caveolin-3 increased. Conclusions The expression of dystrophin related DGC proteins from DMD patients in different age groups showed diversed degrees of deficiency or complete deficiency. The deficiency of these proteins may occur during the embryonic period, while the increased expression of eaveolin-3 may have a relation with the regeneration of skeletal muscle fibers.
