1.The Empirical Research of the Impact of Health Insurance on Consumption for Urban and Rural Households
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(10):5-7
Objective: To explore the effect of health insurance on consumption for rural and urban households. Methods: Using empirical study with the method of quasi-social experiment. Results: Households with health insurance have more consumption than those without health insurance. The higher the coverage of family health insurance improves, the more effects medical insurance would encourage family consumption. Meanwhile, the marginal effect of health insurance on rural households ’ consumption is much bigger than that of urban households. Conclusion: Through enhancing households’ risk tolerance, health insurance reduces households’ precautionary saving motivation and impels to increase the current consumption.
2.Analysis of influencing factors for persevering in pelvic noor muscle exercise in puerperal women and nursing countermeasures
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2012;28(22):13-15
ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for persevering in pelvic floor muscle exercise in puerperal women and nursing countenneasures.MethodsThe influencing factors for persevering in pelvic floor muscle exercise in 120 puerperal women before June 2010 were analyzed,and they were set as the control group.According to the analysis results,targeted nursing countermeasures were developed,comprehensive care approach that combined nursing intervention with health education were applied in 116 cases of puerperal women from June 2010 to June 2011,who were set as the observation group.The situation of recovery for maternal pelvic floor muscle tension was observed.ResultsThere were four main factors that affected maternal pelvic floor muscle exercise:pelvic floor muscle exercise is not inspected as post-natal visits items,obstetric nurses did not carry out necessary propaganda,did not understand the importance of pelvic floor muscle exercise and lack of knowledge among the puerperal women.The test results for pelvic floor muscle tension were as followed:in the observation group Ⅰ degree was in 9 cases,accounting for 7.76%; Ⅱ degree was in 31 cases,accounting for 26.72%; Ⅲ degree was in 76 cases,accounting for 65.52%.In the control group,I degree was in 35 cases,accounting for 29.17 %; Ⅱ degree was in 44 cases,accounting for 36.67%; Ⅲ degree was in 41 cases,accounting for 34.17%.The recovery effect of pelvic floor muscle tension in the observation group was obviously better than the control group,the difference was significant.ConclusionsFactors influencing the puerperal women in persevering in pelvic floor muscle exercise was various,personalized care and intervention according to the influencing factors can improve compliance of pelvic floor muscle exercise for puerperal women,contribute to the recovery of pelvic floor muscle tension.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2012;20(1):15-18
Objective To investigate the serum levels of certain vitamins and trace elements in infant and children with pneumonia.Methods Totally 120 pediatric patients with pneumonia who were treated in our hospital were enrolled in the study.Meanwhile,60 age-matched healthy children were randomly selected as the control group.The serum vitamin A level was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography.The serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D level was analyzed using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The serum zinc,calcium,magnesium,and iron contents were detected using atomic absorption spectrometry.The differences of serum levels of vitamins and trace elements as well as the ratios of vitamins and trace elements deficiency were compared between these two groups.Results The rates of iron,zinc,and vitamin A deficiencies were 35.36%,37.09%,and 46.59%,respectively,in pediatric patients with pneumonia,which were significantly higher than those in the control group ( 18.76%,x2 =4.32; 20.08%,x2 =4.15 ; 25.08%,x2 =5.81 ; all P <0.05).There were no significant differences in the rates of calcium,magnesium,and vitamin D deficiencies between these two groups ( all P > 0.05 ).The serum zinc [ ( 16.07 ± 3.56) vs.(23.24 ± 4.05) μmol/L,t =15.82,P < 0.05 ],iron [ ( 19.89 ± 4.79) vs.(25.13 ± 5.07 ) μmol/L,t =6.65,P < 0.05 ],and vitamin A levels [ ( 365.76 ±35.37 ) vs.(451.09 ± 32.16) μg/L,t =2.14,P < 0.05 ] in the pneumonia group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The serum levels of calcium,magnesium,and 25-hydroxy vitamin D showed no significant difference between these two groups ( all P > 0.05 ).Conclusion Zinc,iron,and/or vitamin A deficiencies are common among infant and children with pneumonia.
7.The roles of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 in carotid artery atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(4):282-285
The lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), a subtype of the phospholipase A2 superfamily, is produced primarily by macrophages and lymphocytes. Lp-PLA2specifically hydrolyzes oxidized phospholipids on oxidized low-density lipoprotein particles,resulting in production of lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized fatty acids. Lp-PLA2 is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and in macrophages within a fibrous cap of unstable plaque.Studies haw shown that the plasma Lp-PLA2 activity increases significantly in patients with ischemic stroke, and Lp-PLA2 may become an independent risk factor for predicting ischemic cerebrovascular events. The selective Lp-PLA2 inhibitor can reduce the inflammatory response,enhance the stability of plaques, and inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and may become a new class of drugs for preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
8.Promoting interventional radiology in clinical practice of emergency medicine
Journal of Interventional Radiology 2001;0(06):-
Interventional radiology has lot of advantages in dealing with various emergencies. The technique is minimally-invasive,highly-effective and immediately-efficient,moreover,it integrates the diagnosis with the therapy perfectly. Besides,the interventional techniques applied in emergency medicine include not only the vascular interventions,such as embolization,embolectomy,etc,but also the nonvascular interventions,such as tracheal stent implantation,percutaneous vertebroplasty and so forth. However,importance has not been attached to the clinical use of interventional therapy in emergency medicine so far. It is imperative for us to promote the acceptance of interventional therapy in emergency medicine as well as to popularize the technique in clinical practice.
9.Preparation of constant negative pressure drainage tube and the evaluation of its effect
Journal of Chinese Physician 2014;16(9):1210-1212,1215
Objective To explore the drainage effect of drainage tube with different materials on the basis of a constant nega tive pressure drainage,and its impact on flap survival.Methods The most common clinical used Polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC)pipe,latex tubes,silicone tube drainage tubes,and flaps were compared at different phases of the drainage,to determine the best clinical flap with drainage material.After three groups of flaps were designed,including a constant negative pressure drainage device,without a constant negative pressure drainage system,and drainage alone (no negative pressure) drainage flap,the flap survival was observed at different phase space.Three different drainage drainage ways of the flap and the flap survival area of effect were statistically analyzed.Results The silicone tube drainage was more fully and effectively.Constant negative pressure drainage volume of liquid was up to the flap with drainage to the fullest,the highest rate of skin flap healing,and better healing.Conclusions The constant negative pressure in the drainage of the flap makes drainage more fully,and promotes rapid healing of wounds,while the silicone tube is suitable for flap drainage.
10.Study on the Risk Factors and Preventive Measures of Catheter-related Blood Stream Infection in Intensive Care Unit
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2009;0(21):-
OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors of the Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infection(CRBSI) in the intensive care unit(ICU),and to approach effective methods for preventing the CRBSI in ICU.METHODS With the method of objective investigation,all patients in ICU from Jan,2008 to Dec,2008 were studied.The risk factors of CRBSI were investigated.RESULTS 257 patients entered the study.A total of 147 cases suffered from the nosocomial infection(NI).The incidence rate of the NI was 57.2%.Among these,36 cases were dignosised of the CRBSI,and the case-infection rate was 14.07%.The number of CRBSI account for 24.49% of the patients who suffered from the NI.The nosocomial infection rate perday the CRBSI was 16.57‰.It was significantly higher than that of the general wards′.The pathogen detection showed the main pathogen was the G+ bacteria,accounting for 54.04%.Then was the G-bacteria,accounting for 37.84%.The fungus accounted for 8.11%.11 unusual drug resistance bacteria were found(6 ESBLs positive bacteria and 5 MRS bacteria).CONCLUSIONS The incidence of the CRBSI is related to the following reasons: days and the sites of the catheter being placed,the procedure the medical personnel done,the immune function of the patients,and the utilization or unutilization of the high-nutrition drugs through the vein.According to these reasons,strict aseptic technique,reasonable choice of the catheter site,shortening the duration the catheter insertion,and maintaining catheter unobstructed are the keys to prevent the incidence of the CRBSI.
