ObjectiveTo investigate the best time interval for replacement of urine collection bags for patients with indwelling catheter. Methods90 patients in brain surgery department with indwelling catheter were randomly divided into group A,B,C,group A replaced urine collection bags every 3 days,group B replaced urine collection bags every 7 days,group C replaced urine collection bags every 14 days.Urine samples were gathered in three groups of patients for bacterial culture on the admission day,the 5th,the 8th,the 11th and the 14th day respectively,and the positive rates of bacterial culture were compared.ResultsThe positive rates of urinary bacterial culture in three groups were not significantly different by statistical analysis. ConclusionsReplacement time of urine collection bags for patients with indwelling catheter may be extended to 14 days,and may be synchronization with the replacement time of urine catheters.This can reduce bacterial ascending infection,decrease nosocomial infection rate,save health care costs,reduce the labor intensity of the nursing staff,improve the social and economic benefits.

Objective To study the effect of autonomic nerve activity on emotion experience.Methods 71 healthy males were asked to see a neutral film STICK and conduct a computer game,then evaluated emotion experience.All participants were recorded skip temperature,skin conduction,heart rate,LF and HF during baseline and game periods.Results (1) There was significant difference in fear experience among high,middle and low synchronous groups (2.64 ± 2.05,2.50 ± 2.01,4.46 ± 2.41; P< 0.01),and low synchronous group was significantly higher than high synchronous group (P < 0.01).The main effects of three periods were significant in basis of three response types of autonomic nerve activity(skin conduction:F(2.68) =76.083,P<0.01; heart rate:F(2.68) =71.692,P < 0.01),and skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference among three response types.Types and periods had no significant interaction.(2) Different response modes of autonomic nervous system has different distributions in high fear and low fear groups (x2 =9.763,P < 0.01).Skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference between high fear group and low fear group.Conclusion The modes of autonomic nervous system have an effect on intensity of fear experience,but not the same in skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of mammography,3.0T MR and the combination for benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods Sixty-one patients with breast lesion proved by postoperative pathology included 47 malignant cases and 14 benign cases.Imaging indexes were recorded and analyzed for all cases,including TIC type,ADC value and whether the Choline peak was detected on MRS.SPSS 17.0 statistical software package was used for analysis.Chisquare test was used for count data and P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results The accuracy were 45.9% and 62.3% respectively for mammography or MR as a sole method for the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast disease.When combining the two techniques,the diagnostic accordance rate was 80.3%.The rate based on the combination of mammography and MR were higher than on basis of either kind of examination along, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=4.08,P<0.05).Conclusion MR examination was superior to mammography for the diagnosis value of benign and malignant breast lesions.When combining mammography with MR examination,it could not only obviously improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of breast cancer but also provide the theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and the prognosis.

Objective To discuss the coping methods of pediatric nurses with adverse psychology and behavior of parents with terminal children. Methods 198 parents who were assessed with adverse psychology and behavior with terminal children were chosen and randomly divided into the observation group(100 cases) and the control group(98 cases). The control group was given conventional care, while in the observation group, nursing intervention of humanistic care and reinforced health education were adopted in addition. The changes of adverse psychology and behavior of the two groups were observed. Χ2 test was used. Results The adverse psychology and behavior in the observation group was reduced significantly than that of the control group after nursing intervention. Conclusions Nursing intervention can effec-tively mitigate the adverse psychology and behavior in parents with terminal children. It plays an active role beth on the terminal children and their parents.

[Summary] The relationship between the state of cognition and hypertension in 155 type 2 diabetic patients was studied.The results showed that significant difference in the state of cognition was found in patients with or without hypertension,so as to those with poorly or well controlled hypertension (P<0.05).Systolic blood pressure,pulse pressure,mean arterial blood pressure,and duration of hypertension were negatively correlated with multiple cognitive domains,suggesting that proper control of blood pressure may have a protective effect on cognitive function in type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of galectin-2, galectin-4, galectin-7, galectin-8, and galectin-9 on the apoptosis in HIV-1-infected macrophages and to provide the theoretical and application basis for elimination of HIV-1-infected cellular reservoirs. Methods Firstly, apoptosis of human monocytic cell line THP-1 cells was induced by different concentrations of galectins to determine the suitable concentration of different galetcins. Secondly, monocytes (THP-1) were stimulated to differentiate into macrophages (THP-1-Mφ) with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), and then macrophages were prepared and infected with HIV-1. Finally, HIV-1-infected and uninfected macrophages were respectively treated with the suitable concentrations of galectin-2, galectin-4, galectin-7, galectin-8, galectin-9 and then the apoptosis in these macrophages was detected. Results The cell death rate of macrophages without treatment was 4. 39 ± 0. 74% . The cell death rates of macrophages induced by 5 μmol/L galectin-2, 5 μmol/L galectin-4, 7. 5 μmol/L galectin-7, 3 μmol/L galectin-8 and 1 μmol/L galectin-9 were 4. 78 ± 0. 41% , 7. 21 ± 1. 46% , 3. 78 ± 1. 03% , 5. 88 ± 2. 08% , 8. 10 ± 4. 13% , respectively, with no statistically significant defferences among the groups (P> 0. 05). The cell death rate of HIV-1-infected macrophages without treatment was 12. 69 ± 1. 16% , and that of HIV-1-infected macrophages induced by 5 μmol/L galectin-2, 5 μmol/L galectin-4, 7. 5 μmol/L galectin-7, 3 μmol/L galectin-8 and 1 μmol/L galectin-9 were 11. 69 ± 0. 90% , 17. 45 ± 1. 30% , 32. 01 ± 1. 30% , 15. 77 ± 1. 21% and 19. 27 ± 2. 13% , respectively. There were significant differences between the control group and galectin-7-treated group (P < 0. 001 ). Conclusions Galectin-7-induces extensive apoptosis in HIV-1-infected macrophages but not in uninfected macrophages.
