METHODS The relationship between infection with sites,methods,and times of PICC placement in 160 patients was observed. RESULTS There was no correlated infection in all the patients,but family nursing might lead to infection. CONCLUSIONS Regular management and standard operation can prevent infection.Instructions of family nursing and follow-up are necessary for infection control.

brain and fatty. The accumulation excretion ratios within 96 h were 70.16% in urine and only 1.35% in feces after iv administration in rats, while within 24 h was 3.46% in bile. Conclusion The results of pharmacokinetics of novel r-hirudin in rats given by iv determined by RA are different from those determined by TCA-RA, but the trends indicated by the two methods are the same; urine excretion is the major excretion pathway.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of impulse oscillometry(IOS) in the patients with COPD. Methods The IOS parameters of 142 cases of COPD (COPD group) were measured and compared with those of 160 normal eases (control group). Linear correlation analysis was done between the IOS parameters and the conventional pulmonary function indexes such as FEV1 / Pred and FEV1/FVC, and the diagnostic value of the IOS parameters in COPD was discussed. Results Compared with those of the control group, respiratory impedance (Zrs),resistance at 5 Hz and 20 Hz (R5,R<<20>) and their difference (R5-R20), central resistance (Re) and peripheral resistance (Rp), resonance frequency (Fres)in the COPD group increased significantly, while reactance at 5 Hz (X5) decreased obviously (P< 0.01 ). In the COPD group, Zrs, Fres, R5, R20, R5-R20 and Rp were all correlated negatively with FEV1 / Pred, but X5 was correlated positively with FEV1/Pred. And the most strong correlation was found between Fres and FEV1/Pred. Fres, R5, R5-R20, Rp were correlated negatively with FEV1/FVC( P all < 0.05). Conclusions IOS is suitable for the diagnosis of COPD,and can be used to evaluate the severity of COPD. The application perspective is very extensive.

Objective To investigate any correlation between walking capacity, center of mass, and pelvic and hemiparetic lower limb motions in stroke survivors. Methods The kinematic variables studied included maximum walking speed, center of mass ( CoM ), pelvic movements and lower-limb movements on the paretic side. These were examined using a three-dimension motion analysis system as thirty-two post-stroke hemiparetic patients walked without aids. Results Average walking capacity was significantly correlated with lateral shifting of the CoM, with paretic limb hip extension, and with deficient knee flexion motions. There was a significant correlation between lateral CoM shifting and paretic limb hip extension and also deficient knee movement. Conclusions Walking capacity after stroke is associated with the lateral shifting of the CoM, paretic limb hip extension and deficient knee flexion. The lateral CoM shifting was associated with paretic limb hip extension and deficient knee movements.

Objective To evaluate eutopic endometrial blood supply and vessels in patients with endometriosis(EMs) with contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS),to explore a newmethod to estimate vascularization of eutopic endometrium in EMs patients.MethodsThirty patients with EMs were enrolled and 20 patients who were diagnosed as other gynecological diseases as control.Informed consent of each case was obtained. AllcasesunderwentconventionalultrasoundexaminationandCEUSexamination.Characteristics of CEUS in each patients were observed and analyzed using off-line Qontrast software.Parameters of CEUS including peak intensity(PEAK),time to peak(TTP),regional blood volume(RBV),regional blood flow(RBF) were obtained automatically.ResultsComparing with control group,the eutopic endometrium in EMs group presented higher enhancement.The parameters of CEUS,including PEAK,TTP,RBV,RBF were (41.18 ± 3.29) dB,(29.01 ± 4.46) s,(29.07 ± 4.59) ml,(48.61 ± 5.35) ml/min in EMs group and (13.36 ± 2.34)dB,(24.59 ± 2.29)s,(26.51 ±- 3.80)ml,(48.71 ± 3.80)ml/min in controls respectively,the value of PEAK in EMs group was higher than that of controls ( P =0.000).Conclusions CEUS can be regarded as a new method which can be used to assess vascularization of eutopic endometrium in endometriosis.

BACKGROUND:Three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis system combined with electromyograph cannot only objectively analyze movement function of the upper limb, but also exert an important role in exploring the exercise-related factors and the underlying mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of movement velocity and target location on kinematics and muscle activity in upper limb reaching.
METHODS:Twelve healthy young adults reached for three different location targets (frontal, ipsilateral and contralateral) at self-selected and fast speeds to with the dominant right hand, respectively. Kinematic parameters and muscle activity were recorded by Vicon 3D motion analysis system and Noraxon wireless electromyograph, synchronously.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Reach path ratio became smal er when moving faster (P<0.001), while mean velocity, peak velocity and the time percentage of peak velocity increased (P<0.001). Posterior deltoid, biceps brachi and triceps brachi activation was higher during fast speed movement (P<0.001). Muscle activation of anterior deltoid was lower in ipsitralateral reaching than contralateral (P=0.001) and frontal reaching (P<0.001), and posterior deltoid was higher than contralateral reaching (P=0.019). Biceps brachi (P=0.039) and triceps brachi (P<0.001) activation was also higher in ipsitralateral reaching than frontal reaching. These results suggest that moving fast can contribute to more muscle activation, high velocity, smooth trajectory and increased movement quality. Posterior deltoid, elbow extension and flexion muscle activation are high in ipsitralateral reaching, while high anterior deltoid activation in contralateral reaching;therefore, target location result in muscle synergies.

Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), plasma fibrino-gen (FIB), platelet aggregation rate and blood clots-fibrinolytic dynamic figure were taken as indexes in the evalua-tion of anticoagulant activity in vivo of active component F2-2 from Eupolyphaga seu Steleophaga. After 5 days of hypodermic injection of adrenaline, the rat model of acute blood stasis was established. Indexes were determined af-ter the model rats were treated with an intragastric administration of F2-2 for 9 days. The results showed that com-pared with the model group, PT/APTT was prolonged, FIB content was decreased, platelet aggregation rate and the largest of blood coagulation were declined after 9 days of intragastric administration in the model group. However, there was no difference on TT. It was concluded that the anticoagulant component F2-2 separated from E. seu Steleophaga showed favorable anticoagulant activity in vivo. However, its mechanism remained unknown and request-ed further researches.
