Objective To investigate the application value of warming humidification oxygen therapy in patients after tracheotomy.Methods Forty-one patients after tracheotomy were collected consecutively for this study.All patients were randomly assigned into the treatment group (21 cases)and the control group (20 cases).The treatment group adopted warming humidification oxygen therapy,and the control group adopted common airway moistening method.Moist effect judgment,viscosity of sputum,phlegm scab formation,respiratory irritation symptoms,airway mucosal bleeding,air way resistance,lung infection cases,average days in the ICU were investigated.Results There were statistically significant differences in moist effect judgment,viscosity of sputum,phlegm scab formation,respiratory irritation symptoms,airway mucosal bleeding,air way resistance,lung infection cases,average days in the ICU between the two groups.Conclusions Warming humidification oxygen therapy is more suitable to patients with tracheotomy than common airway moistening method.

Chronic pelvic pain is a common symptom of gynecological diseases,traditional Chinese medicine treatment is a important method in treating chronic pelvic pain without operation indication.According to his clinical experience of more than sixty years,famous gynecological professor XU Run-san suggested that deficient syndrome of chronic pelvic pain possesses a definite proportion in clinic;most of chronic repeated pelvic pain of long course has the pathogenesis of qi,yang deficiency,stagnation of blood circulation and deficiency complicated with blood stasis.The etiology of chronic pelvic pain is complicated,according to the TCM theory of "treating different diseases with the same method",tonifying method such as nourishing qi and raising yang,warming spleen and stomach,nourishing qi and activating blood,warming meridian and resolving stasis can be used for syndrome of qi,yang deficiency.Treatment with tonifying decoctions such as buzhongyiqi decoction,huangqijianzhong decoction based on syndrome differentiation is the key to improve the curative effect.

The energy cost of the daily major activities, the basal metabolic rates (BMR), resting metabolic rates (RMR) and total energy expenditure of university students per day under normal conditions were determined respectively by Douglas' method. The average BMR of male and female subjects were 2.80?0.14 and 2.74?0.13 kJ.m-2min-1. (0.669 and 0.656 kcal?m~2?min-1) respectively. The total energy expenditure per day of male students was 11.32 MJ, and of female students 9.92 MJ per day. The energy cost of different activity can be used as the basic data in studies of energy metabolism.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on the expression of glutamine synthetase (GS) of cultured rat retinal Müller cells in high glucose environment in vitro.Methods Mtüller cells were isolated from retinas of 10 Sprague-Dawley rats at postnatal day three to five by trypsin digestion,and were randomly divided into six groups,including normal control group,high glucose group,high glucose +5 U/ml rhEPO group,high glucose+ 10 U/ml rhEPO group,high glucose+ 20 U/ml rhEPO group,high glucose+40 U/ml rhEPO groups.After 48 hours,the apoptosis of retinal Müller cells were assayed by terminal transferase-mediated DNA end labelling assay,and the expression levels of GS protein were detected with semi-quantitative immunocytochemistry.Results Compared with the normal control group,the cell viability and GS protein were reduced while the cell death increased in Müller cells cultured in high glucose,the difference was statistically significant (t =27.4,P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the high glucose group,rhEPO treatment reduced the apoptotic Müller cells (t=857.2,2 374.6,2 473.2,2 537.7; P＜0.01),induced the expression of GS proteins (t=3.2,18.0,22.5,26.4; P＜0.05).Conclusions rhEPO can protect Müller cells from apoptosis under high glucose condition.The mechanism may be related to its function to up-regulate the GS protein expression,promote glutamic acid cycle,and reduce the excitotoxicity effects of high concentration of glutamate.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of methylmalonic acidemia(MMA) in order to improve our understanding of it.Methods We analyzed the clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations and treatments of 26 cases of methylmalonic acidemia in children.Results Twenty-four cases were involved in nervous system.Nine patients were involved in renal system.Eight cases of hematological involved.Liver enzyme elevated in 2 cases as well as the cardiac system were involved in 3 cases.One case was with pneumonia onset.The laboratory findings showed metabolic acidosis in 12 cases,hyperhomocysteinemia in 8 cases and remarkable elevation of urinary methylmalonic acid concentration in all cases.Some abnormalities in globus pallidus and cerebral white matter as well as diffuse cerebral atrophy were noted by the brain CT and MRI in 15 cases.Sixteen children have received therapy of vitamin B12,and supplementation of L-carnitine with restricted-protein diet.The follow-up for a period ranging from 3 months to 1.5 years( mean 8.5 months) of 15 cases with medical therapy showed a favorable outcome of nervous system improvement in 12 cases,however,2 patients died from severe metabolic acidosis.8 patients with renal involvement were normal in urine routine and renal function.Conclusion Methylmalonic acidemia has different clinical features,so early urine organic acids analysis by GC/MS method is essential Long-term and reasonable treatment after diagnosis is an effective way to improve the prognosis.

Objective To observe the efficacy of the combination of moxibustion and pressing beans on auricular in the treatment of elderly patients with chronic diarrhea.Methods 45 elderly patients met the diagnostic criteria for diarrhea were divided into two groups,the treatment group (23 cases) received the treatment of combined moxibustion with ear pressure beans,the control group (22 cases) received traditional Chinese medicine treatment.The efficacy was observed and compared after two weeks.Results The effective rate reached 95.6％ in the treatment group,81.8％ in the control group (statistically significant difference,odds ratio 1.16).Conclusion Combined ear pressure beans with moxibustion treatment will receive a significant effect for the elderly patients with chronic diarrhea.The therapy is worth clinical application.

Objective:To discuss the important role of clinical pharmacists in the prevention of medication errors and rational drug use through medication reconciliation in endocrinology department. Methods: The medication reconciliation was given to the diabetic patients over 70 years old newly admitted in the endocrinology department from January to April 2016, and the consistency and appro-priateness of medication orders were verified and the results were collected and analyzed by the pharmacists. Results: Totally 84 pa-tients were enrolled into the research with the average age of (76. 3 ± 5. 0) and the average number of combined diseases of (3. 5 ± 1. 2). The average medications taken by the patients before the admission were (6. 7 ± 2. 9), and 22. 6% of the patients took tradi-tional Chinese medicines and 4. 76% of the patients took health products. The patients whose medications for 24h needed intervention accounted for 27. 38%, the medications orders needed intervention accounted for 3. 67%, and the intervention success rate of clinical pharmacist was 100%. Conclusion:To the patients over 70 years old with type 2 diabetes and multiple diseases treated with a variety of medications, medication reconciliation in 24 hours can effectively prevent the medication errors and promote the rational drug use.
