2.Research in grounded theory of postoperative pain management among the surgical nurses
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(17):5-7
Objective To find out the nurse's cognitive level of the postoperative pain management and its relevant elements,and influence of intervention measures on their postoperative pain management,so that can provide a theoretic basis for a more effective postoperative pain management.Methods The grounded theory research method taken from qualitative research Was mainly used,and triangulation was applied in collecting the information,such as observational method,interviewing method among nurses and collecting questionnaire among nurses and patients.In addition,the information was analyzed by using the constant tomparative method,generalized the relative elements influencing the postoperative pain managemen,summarized the intervention measure.In the end.analyzed comparatively the change of the nurses'knowledge and behavior of the postoperative pain management before and after intervention.Results Surgical nurses'knowledge and behavior of the postoperative pain management was improved in various degrees.The difference of the data has statistical significance.Satisfaction degree of patients improved and the theoretical model included conceptual structure,contributory factors and results.Conclusions The advance of the surgical nurse's self-awareness can improve the level of the postoperative pain management.
3.Effect of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (Mirena) in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Clinical Medicine of China 2011;27(9):993-995
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and side-effects of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (Mirena) in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding .Methods 45 cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding diagnosed by pathology were installed with Mirena.The endometrial thickness by ultrasound hemoglobulin increase and pathologic changes of endometria were recorded before and 24 months after the installation.ResultsThe endometrial thickness before and after the insertion of Mirena were(15.6 ±4.2) mm and (3.2 ± 1.3)mmrespectively (P < 0.01) .Six months after the insertion of Mirena, patients' hemoglobulin was significantly increased from (97.6 ± 8.2)g/L to (123.7 ± 8.1)g/L (U = 2.26, P < 0.05) .After the installation of Mirena, patient experienced metrorrhagia.Conclusions Mirena is a device providing effective and continual therapy for dysfunctional uterine bleeding .It can not only significantly reduce the menstrual blood loss but also reverse the complex hyperplasia effectively.

Objective To assess the reliability and validity of the center for epidemiological studies depression scale (CES-D) in rural populations. Methods CES-D was administered to 330 rural residents in Jinzhou and Zhuanghe district of Dalian city. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) was used as standards to assess the discriminant validity and criterion validity. Statistical analysis included Pearson's correlations and the exploratory factor analysis. Results The Cronbach α was 0.74,and the average item-total correlation was 0.59. Two factors were extracted by using exploratory factor analysis:affective and somatic symptoms and interpersonal problems. The range of factor loading was between 0.42 and 0.83. CES-D mean scores were significantly different between the depressive group (22.80±10.28) and non-depressive group (15.36±5.76. t =2.60,P =0.01). The correlation coefficient between CES-D and HAM-D was 0.50( P <0.01). Conclusion The reliability and validity of CES-D for rural populations is acceptable.

Cardiac enlargement is an important symptom of vascular and heart disease. The cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) is an important index used to measure the size of heart. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between aging and cardiothoracic ratio. This paper also presents an improved C-V level set method to segment lung tissue based on X-ray image, which used to automatically compute CTR. In the investigation carried out in our school, we got more than 3 120 chest radiographs from medical examination of the working population in Beijing, and we systematically studied the effects of age and gender on the CTR to obtain reference values for each group. The reference values established in this study can be useful for recording and quantifying the cardiac enlargement, so that it may be useful for calling attention to the cardiovascular diseases and the heart diseases.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the early activity on preventing deep vein thrombosis after joint replacement. Methods A total of 90 patients who undergone skeleton and knee joint replacement from January 2014 to January 2015 were randomly divid-ed into the observation group and the control group (with 45 cases in each group)according to the random number table method.The control group were given routine nursing care to prevent thrombosis,while the observation group were given intervention nursing,namely implementa-tion of early activities.The related symptoms of deep venous thrombosis and D-dimer level of high blood coagulation state of plasma of the two groups were observed and compared before and after treatment.Results The symptoms of deep vein thrombosis of the observation group in the early postoperative period were less than that of the control group,and the difference was significant(P <0.05).The D-dimer level of the observation group was lower than that of the control group 7 days after the operation with a significant difference (P <0.05).Conclusion Systematic nursing intervention of early activities can significantly reduce the related symptoms of forming deep vein thrombosis after joint re-placement.In addition,it has an apparent effect on lowing the high blood coagulation state and preventing deep vein thrombosis.

Objective To study the improvement of sleep and life quality in chronic insomina patients with abdominal acupuncture. Methods Ninety patients were randomly divided into study group and control group. The study group were treated with abdominal acupuncture combined with hypnotics, and control group of with pure hypnotics. Ten treatments formed a course. The therapeutical effect was assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Questionnaire SF-36 before and after treatment and 2 weeks after treatment respectively. Results The significant improvement was obtained in aspects of general effective rate right after the treatment, general score of PSQI and score of Questionnaire SF-36, and very significant improvement two weeks after the treatment not only in PSQI scores in sleep quality, sleep efficiency, daytime function and hypnotics but in SF-36 score. Conclusions Abdominal acupuncture can treat chronic insomnia through regulating body environment so as to improve sleep and life quality, and eliminate the hypnotic side effects.
