Objective To know the efficacy of oral nursing by visible electric toothbrushes among patients with peroral endotracheal intuabtion. Methods Divided 108 trauma patients with peroral endo-tracheal intubation and clear consciousness into the research group and the control group randomly, there were 54 cases in each group. Routine oral nursing cares were used in the control group, while the visible electric toothbrushes was used in the research group. Compared the efficacy of oral nursing between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of mouth odor, plaque index and oral infection in the research group were better than those of in the control group. Conclusions Using visible electric toothbrushes for trau-ma patients with oral endotracheal tube is a kind of effective and feasibility method, which should be devel-oped in the clinical field.

To develop optimal shift systems for an improvement of work schedule satisfaction, health and work productivity, the effects of the direction of the rotational work shifting on the circadian rhythm and adaptation of physiological components and work mistakes were investigated in nursing students. Two groups of seven volunteers participated as experimental subjects, apd seven to twenty nursing students participated as a control group. The directions of rotation work shift were as follows CW(clockwise)-shift system rotation in the direction of day shift(3 days), evening shift(3 days), off duty(l day) and night shift(5 days), and CCW (counterclockwise) -shift system rotation in the reverse direction. Urinary Na, K, and Cl levels were measured with ion-selective electrodes. The levels of performance were measured by a questionnaire to determine the number of mistakes in 12 specific items during duty. The disturbance of Na the circadian rhythm was seen on day and night shifts, especially in the CCW-rotation shift system, and the magnitude of the daily variation was greatest in the CCW-rotation system. The daily rhythms of K and Cl shifted to the right on the evening shift, and the rhythms were reversed on the night shift, which suggests that they adapted to the altered shift work. However, the levels of Cl were higher in day and night shift workers, especially in CCW-shift system. In the ease of urine salts, it seems that the students in CW-shift system more easily adapted to the altered shift. The incidence of mistakes during work were more frequent on the CCW shift than in the CW shift. These data indicate that the direction of rotation effects the worker's health and work performance. These results indicate that the CCW rotation of shift work makes it more difficult for the workers to adapt to the shift on a physiological level, and has many more negative effects on the shift workers' health when compared with the CW rotation. Thus, a clockwise rotating shift system seems to be more desirable for the optimal health and performance of nurses.

Objective To find out certain physical therapy about chest nursing, and then avoid certain postoperative complications for patients with thoractomy. Methods Selected 112 patients af-ter thoractomy from October 2007 to January 2008, divided them into the observation group and the control group randomly, there were 56 cases in the each group. Traditional back knocking was used in the con-trol group, while a kind of reformative back knocking method was used in the observation group. Compared the incidence rate of lung-associated complications between the two groups. Results There were signifi-cant difference between the two groups about incidence rate of lung-associated complications and com-pliance of back knocking. Conclusions Chest physical therapy with new back knocking can effective promote expectoration, reduce the incidence rate of pulmonary complications, and then make patients feeling comfort.

This paper introduced the measurement methods of heat and moisture exchanger during tracheotomy with two main parameters (water loss and pressure drop) and proposed more heat and moisture exchanger evaluation indicators such as the death chamber, the heat exchange rate, as well as those parameters can be used to evaluate the reasonableness of the heat and moisture exchanger performance.

Objective To explore the effect of chewing gums on gastrointestinal function of rectal cancer patients undergoing surgical operations.Methods One hundred rectal cancer patients were randomized equally into the control group and test group:the former received routine nursing care and the latter began to chew the chewing 2-3 gums for 4-5 times a day 2-4 hours after operation until anal passage of gas or defecation.The two groups were compared in terms of first time for anal passage of gas,first time for defecation and postoperative abdominal distension.Results The time for anal passage of gas in the test group was(62.52±19.99)h, significantly shorter than that of(70.68±19.34)h in the control group(t=2.184,P<0.05).The defecation time in the test group was (84.20±14.25 ) h,also significantly shorter than that of the control group(t=-2.204,P<0.05).The incidence of abdominal distension in the test group was significantly lower than that in the control group(8.00%vs.26.00%;χ2=5.741,P<0.05).Conclusion Chewing the gums,as an adjunctive therapy,is effective for the recovery of gastrointestinal function after operations on rectal cancer.

The paper presented the motivation,progress and roadblocks for venture capital to play a role in private medical institutions during the ongoing health reform.The author raised policy suggestions to introduce venture capital into private medical institutions,from such points as laws and regulations,establishment of state-owned venture capital firms,building of exit channels,establishment of managed healthcare market,and development of VC talents for healthcare industry.

Objective To evaluate the value of renal adipose capsule injection of methyprednisolone by ultrasound guided in treatment of nephritic syndrome.Methods 31 patients with nephritic syndrome were treated with the renal adipose capsule injection of methyprednisolone by ultrasound guided.40mg methylprednisolone was injected into renal adipose capsule of the patients twice a week and each one of them was totally given ten times of the treatment.The urinary protein,plasma albumin,serum creatinine and blood pressure before and after the treatment were measured.Results 29 cases were succeed in this group,and the percentage was 94%,clinical observations of proteinuria were negative.2 cases were repeated after stop interventional treatment.and the percentage was 6%.Conclusion By ultrasound guided interventional treatment and capsula adipose treated for nephrotie syndrome was simple operation,and had precise positioning and significant effect,and it provided a new treatment for clinic.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease of newborn.In recent vears.its incidence is increasing.Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSC)have been shown to differentiate into a variety of mesenchymal cell types.It has been shown that these cells can be separated.purificated.amplificated and administered to animals and patients in clinical trials.This article focuses on the pathology.pathogenesis of the bmnchopulmonary dysplasia,and biological characteristics of BMSC,and indicates that the cells in the circulation Can engraft in the lung and offer effective protection against lung injuries.
