Objective To investigate the psychological status of family members of patients with depression, and discuss the health education pathway. Methods The families of 200 inpatients with major depression accepted systemic health education about depression according to the investigation of the self-designed questionnaire. They were assessed with Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) when the patients admitted and accepted 8 weeks of treatment. Results The score of SDS was more than 50 in 76.5% families of patients, and it was 79.0% for SAS when admission. The scores of SDS and SAS reduced after education (P<0.01). Conclusion Health education can improve the psychology of family members of patients with depression.

Objective To explore the value of diagnosis and treatment of conization of cervix to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)Ⅱ-Ⅲ grade.Methods The data of 76 patients diagnosed as CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ grade through pre-operative multiple-punch biopsies from July 1st 2006 to June 30th 2007 was retrospectively analyzed.Compared the pathohistology and treatment methods before and after conization of cervix.Results Accordance rate of diagnosis in pre-operative cervical biopsies under vaginoscopy was 48.68%,pathological up-grade were 24 cases(31.58%),among invasive carcinomas were 8 cases(10.53%),pathological down-grade were 15 cases(19.74%).Conclusion Diagnostic cervical conization could enhance the rate of diagnosis,and prevent the omission of invasive carcinomas for the patients with CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ grade.

Objective To discuss the influence of health education pathway on detaining time of thoracic drainage tube and standardize the nursing procedure for postoperative patients.Methods Forty five patients after thoracotomy from March to December in 2006 were set as the control group.Fifty patients of the same kind from January to September in 2007 were named the test group.The control group received conventional nursing education.The test group received health education on the day of operation,the first,second,third and fourth day after operation from specified nurses according to health education pathway.The contents included psychological nursing,pain management,respiratory function and physical training and enhancement of drainage efficacy.The average indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube was recorded.Results The average indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube in the test group and the control group was(74.40±8.88)h and(91.68±10.08)h respectively,which showed statistical difference,P＜0.01.Conclusions Application of health education pathway effectively shortened indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube as well as reduced pain and medical costs of patients.

Objective To discuss the drug resistance and the vicissitude of Pseudomonas aerugi-nosa in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in order to provide basis for rational use of antibiotics in clinic. Methods Identification of bacteria was performed by applying ATB Expression Identification System produced by BioMerieux Company; drug susceptibility tesr was done by using K-B method. The drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was compared between ICU and general wards; and then the difference of drug resistance was investigated between 2006 and 2007. Resnlts The more sensitive an-tibiotics to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU of our hospital were as follows, amikacin (resistance rate 6.7%-9.4%), eiprofloxacin (resistance rate 7.7%-24.7%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (resistance rate 11.5%-34%), ceftazidime (resistance rate 11.5%-37.7%), aztreonam (resistance rate 20.2%-40.6%). The drug resistance rate of ICU was higher than that of the general wards, and the drug re-sistance rates to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, cefoperazone/sutbaetam,meropenem, imipenem and aztreo-nam in 2007 were significantly higher than those in 2006 (P<0.01). Conclusion The drug resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU of our hospital was very high,and it is rising year by year. So it is important to retrospect the results of the drug resistance periodically and provide the up-to-the-mi-nute data of epidemiology and vicissitude of drug resistance.

Objective To assess the value of echocardiography in guiding surgical operation approach of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods A total of 200 patients with VSD underwent surgical repair. The type of VSD was determined with echocardiography before operation and the results were analyzed in comparison with operation approach. Results There was significant accordance in the type of VSD detected with echocardiography and the surgical findings, and the coincidence rate of 80.00%. The transatrial approach was chosen in patients with perimembranous VSD, subseptal cusp VSD and simple membranous;the anspulmonary approach was chosen in subarterial VSD, while transventricular approach was chosen in muscular VSD or VSD with large size. Combined approach was suitable in VSD complicated with intracardiac malformations. Conclusion The type of VSD determined with echocardiography plays a key role in the selection of operation approach, and is benefit to reducing complications.

Objective To assess the value of two-dimentional strain/strain rate (2D-S/SR) imaging compared with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in detecting acute rejection (AR) reaction after heart transplantation (HT). Methods Twenty-five patients who required HT underwent echocardiography within 12 h after EMB. Ten patients of grade 0 AR were regarded as group A, 8 patients with grades Ⅰa-Ⅰb were considered as group B, 7 patients with grades ≥Ⅱa were considered as group C. Thirty age-matched normal controls were considered as group D. The longitudinal, radial and circumferential stain and strain rate of different ventricular wall in systolic were measured and compared among groups. Results Compared with the group D, longitudinal stain (LS) of basal-septum, circumferential strain rate (CSR) of ant-septum at the level of mitral valve, radial strain (RS) of all segments at the level of mitral valve reduced in groups A, B and C. Conclusion The RS of 2D-S/SR is an effective and sensitive technique for the detection of acute rejection, and longitudinal stain can be used as an early index of AR for grade ≥Ⅱ after HT.

Objective To investigate the effects of Shuxuetong Injection (SXT ) on expressions of cell apoptosis and TLR4 a-round ischemic area after focal cerebral infarction in rats and to discuss its neuroprotective mechanism on ischemia-induced brain in-jury .Methods The SD rats were subjected to establish the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)by nylon monofila-ment suture ,then were randomly divided into the sham-operated group ,the model group and the SXT treatment group ;the cell ap-optosis and the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein around ischemic area at 12 ,24 ,48 ,72 h after cerebral ischemia were detec-ted respectively by TUNEL test mediated with DNA ,RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry .Results In the model group ,the number of TUNEL positive cells ,the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein were gradually increased at 12 h ,reached the peak at 24 h , then decreased and were still higher than those in the sham-operated group(P<0 .01);in the SXT treatment group ,these expres-sions after 24 h were lower than those in the model group (P<0 .05)and declined as the treatment time increase(P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion In subacute stage of cerebral ischemia injury ,apoptosis is related with the expression of TLR4 ,SXT may inhibit apoptosis , down-regulate the expression of TLR4 around ischemic area ,this may be one of the mechanisms of neuroprotection .
