ObjectiveTo summarize the nursing experience of postoperative liver biopsy in patients after liver transplantation. Methods89 patients undergoing postoperative liver biopsy after liver transplantation from June 2010 to April 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Their nursing experience was summarized. Results81 patients were confirmed of having rejection reaction.89 patients had no severe complications,only 28 cases(31.5％)had mild local pain. ConclusionsSufficient preoperative preparation,good nursing cooperation during the operation,close postoperative observation and nursing can prevent and timely detect and cope complications,thereby reduce the risk of liver puncture.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible relationship between choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and macular choroidal watershed zones (CWZ) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). MethodsFifty-seven selected indocyanine green video angiograms (ICGA) of 57 patients (57 eyes) with AMD were evaluated, and 35 ones of the healthy fellow eyes of 35 patients with unilateral non-AMD fundus diseases were selected as age-matched control. The video angiograms were evaluated for investigating the relationship between CNV and macular CWZ. ResultsIn 57 eyes with AMD, 35 (61.4%) had macular CWZ, while in 35 control patients only 3 (8.57% ) had. The difference was significant (P

Objective To investigate the related factors of effects on distant visual acuity after photodynamic therapy (PDT) for choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods One hundred and thirty-five cases (135 eyes) of CNV treated with PDT were observed. The gender, preoperative distant and near visual acuity, disease course, pathogeny, area of CNV, types of CNV ascertained by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and changes of CNV in FFA were recorded. Multi-factor regression analysis of visual acuity within 1 month and 3 months after PDT was performed with SPSS statistics software. Results The distant visual acuity within 1 month postoperatively was related to the preoperative distant visual acuity, the area of CNV and the changes in the FFA(P=0.000,0.030,0.062), and 3 months after PDT, it was related to the distant and near visual acuity preoperatively and the changes in the FFA(P=0.000,0.054,0.034). The condition of distant visual acuity within 1 month postoperatively was related to the FFA type of CNV and the disease course(P =0.018,0.08). Conclusion The smaller the area of CNV is, the better postoperative distant visual acuity would be. The proportion of improvement of visual acuity is relatively higher in patients with classic CNV. Early treatment for the patients with the indicatio may improve the visual acuity effectively.

Objective To evaluate effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on axillary lymph node status in patients with breast cancer.Methods A total of 45 patients with stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery(Combination Group) were compared with 79 patients with breast cancer treated with initial surgery only(Surgery Group) in respect of axillary lymph node status,including the total number of the lymph nodes and the number of positive and negative lymph nodes,according to findings of physical examination,B-ultrasonography,and molybdenum target radiography.Results The total number of the lymph nodes and the number of positive lymph nodes were significantly less in the Combination Group(16.9?5.9 and 2.5?2.2) than in the Surgery Group(20.8?8.0 and 3.9?3.0)(t=-2.856,P=0.005;t=2.790,P=0.006),whereas the number of negative lymph nodes were 14.4?5.4 and 16.7?7.0 in the Combination Group and the Surgery Group,respectively,without statistical significance(t=-1.904,P=0.055).Four patients were found loco-regional relapse in each group during follow-up checkups for 6~19 months(mean,10 months) in 40 patients in the Combination Group and 7~21 months(mean,12 months) in 67 patients in the Surgery Group.Conclusions Total and positive axillary lymph nodes retrieved after axillary lymph node dissection decrease in number after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of labeling iris pigment epithelial(IPE)cells of rabbits with 5-(and 6-)carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester(CFSE). Methods Enzyme-assisted microdissection was used to isolate the cultured rabbit′s IPE cells.The third or forth subcultured IPE cells were incubated with 2.5,5,10,20,and 40 ?mol/L of CFSE for 1,5,and10min respectively.The fluorescence intensity was detected by flow cytometry,and the leakage of CFSE and its dyeing were observed by fluorescence antibody labeling. Results Incubation with 20 ?mol/L CFSE under 37℃for1minute was the most optimal condition for IPE cells labeling.The coloration of IPE cells stained by CFSE lasted 4 weeks.There was no leakage of dye from labeled rabbit IPE cells to non-labeled human IPE cells in mixed culture process. Conclusion With the advantages of high rate of dyeing,long time of tracing,safety and convenience,CFSE can be used as a new method to label the rabbit′s IPE cells.

Applying the specialized Master of Public Health (MPH) degree education is one of the most important parts of our nation's medical degree system innovation. It has a positive effect on the development of health care in our country. To ensure the quality of the MPH degree, we should be more careful with course studies, do better in field and social practice, be stricter with degree dissertation rejoining, and supervise and control the process of the training.

Objective To study the relationships between cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarcts and quantitative CT measures and to determine the independent correlative factors of cognitive impairment. Methods Neuropsychological examination was conducted for 128 patients with acute lacunar infarct. Number, location, and volume of infarcts, cerebral atrophy index and severity of white matter lesions (WMLs) were measured and recorded. Results The number of lacunar infarcts in cognitive impairment (CI) group was significantly larger than that in cognitive normal (CN) group. Mean width of sulcus and sylvian fissure, index of frontal horn and ventricular-brain ratio (VBR) were significantly different in both groups. There were more patients with 3 grades or 4 grades WMLs in CI group (62%) than those in CN group (22%). The total volume of lacunar infarcts showed no statistically significant difference. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the number of lacunar infarcts in frontal subcortex and thalamus, the volume of infarcts in anterior periventricular white matter, width of cerebral sulcus and sylvian fissure were correlated with cognitive impairment respectively. Additionally, age and education were correlative factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarct. Conclusion Correlative factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarct are not merely one feature, but a combination of infarct features (number, location, and volume), cortical atrophy and host factors (age and education).

AIM: To observe the therapeutic effect of hepatocyte growth promoting factor (PHGF) combined with transmetil in treatment of chronic severe hepatitis (CSF). METHODS: 120 patients were divided randomly into two groups: the combined treatment group and the routine group. All the patients received ordinary therapy, and 62 patients, based on the therapy, received PHGF combined with transmetil in the combined treatment group. RESULTS: Compared with the routine treatment group, the levels of total serum bilirubin and prothrombin time were decreased significantly (P

Objective To investigate the actuality of self-compassion and perceived social support among probationer nursing students, and to analyze the relationship between them. Methods 552 probationer nursing students from three tertiary hospitals in Suzhou were investigated by means of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Results The probationer nursing students′ self-compassion and perceived social support was (3.20 ± 0.61) points and (5.81 ± 1.13) points, respectively. Scores of the total scale and the factors of self-compassion and perceived social support were positively correlated (r=0.485, P<0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that perceived social support (family support and friend support) could be used to forecast the self-compassion of probationer nursing students and independently explain the variation of their self-compassion of 21.5%(△R2=0.215, P<0.01). Conclusions Self-compassion among probationer nursing students is in medium level, and perceived social support an important factor affecting their self-compassion.
