Objective To explore the effect of home care on schizophrenia in rural area in Beijing. Methods A comparative study has been done between 36 patients in home care and 36 patients in hospital. All of the patients were tested with Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) before, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment and Social Disability Screening Scale (SDSS) at 6 months after treatment. Results The PANSS scores of two groups decreased significantly after the treatment (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the effective rates between the home care group (69.4%) and the hospital group (66.7%). The SDSS scores of the home care group was significantly lower than the hospital group (P<0.01). Conclusion Home care provides an efficient approach to treat schizophrenia in rural community, and it can improve the social function of the patients.

Objective To explore whether augmentation index is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease or not,and the relationship between augmentation index and coronary artery disease severity.Methods In the study,245 subjects who were hospitalized between Dec.2003 and Dec.2004,were classified into 4 groups and their clinical and biological characteristics and the summary of the scores in each of the eight segment and aortic pressure waveform in ascending aorta were recorded respectively.Results The larger the augmentation index was,the more the number of coronary stenosis vessels was.Linear regression analysis indicated that augmentation index was significantly correlated with grade of coronary stenosis.When augmentation index was more than 45%,the sensibility and specificity was 91.5%and 92.6%respectively.In the logistic regression model,augmentation index was the independent risk factor for coronary heart disease,and the odds ratio of coronary heart disease was 1.893.The 95%CI was 1.421~2.521.Conclusion Augmentation index is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease and a predictor of angiographic coronary artery disease severity.

ObjectiveTo observe the effectiveness of collagen sponge for reducing volume of drainage after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. MethodsOne hundred and eighty-six patients who suffered from lumbar spinal stenosis were divided into two groups by random digits table method. The test group(96 cases) used collagen sponge to cover dura mater before placing drainage tube,the control group (90 cases) was treated without collagen sponge. The volume of drainage at 1,12,24 h after surgery were observed, the blood routine test was carried out at before and 48 h after surgery and the volume and ratio of blood transfusion after surgery was also measured and compared between the two groups. ResultsThe volume of drainage were significantly decreased in the test group compared with the control group at 1,12,24h after surgery [( 106.11 ± 20.02 ) ml vs. ( 127.02 ± 25.09) ml, (236.12 ± 34.06) ml vs. (327.31 ± 51.21 )ml, (355.16 ± 49.03 ) ml vs.( 506.36 ± 85.29 ) ml](P ＜ 0.05 ). The volume and the ratio of blood transfusion in the test group were ( 176.27 ± 21.37) ml and 10.42％(10/96) ,which were greatly lower than those in the control group[(445.94 ±24.56) ml and 32.22％ (29/90)](P ＜0.05). The number of RBC and the concentration of Hb were (2.96 ± 0.45 ) × 1012/L and ( 106.75 ± 7.30) g/L, differently in the test group at 48 h after surgery,which were increased significantly compared with the control group[(2.35 + 0.57) × 1012/Land (90.45 ± 5.10) g/L](P ＜ 0.05 ). ConclusionsCollagen sponge provides rapid ,effective and durable hemostasis and decreases the leak of cerebrospinal fluid after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. It can be used as an effective and economic method to reduce the volume of drainage after surgery.

Objective To investigate the relationship of TCM constitution and syndrome elements based on patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. Methods A survey was conducted among 1316 patients with diabetes, coronary disease, hypertension and cerebral infarction. Totally 326 patients with hyperhomocysteinemia were incorporated in diagnostic data and their constitutions were determined. At the same time, syndrome elements identification method for syndrome elements was applied for judgment, and consistency of the constitution and syndrome elements was analyzed. Results The survey showed that prevalence rate of population with hyperhomocysteinemia was 24.77%;there were 6 cases with mild nature, and 320 cases with biased constitution;phlegm dampness, blood stasis, qi deficiency of constitutions 110 cases, 73 cases and 59 cases, respectively;blood stasis, phlegm, qi deficiency, and dampness were the main syndrome elements of hyperhomocysteinemia, of 100 cases, 98 cases, 73 cases and 59 cases, respectively;the consistency of phlegm dampness constitution and syndromes of phlegm was the most obvious (Kappa=0.89, P<0.05). Conclusion Phlegm dampness, blood stasis, and qi deficiency were the most common constitutions of hyperhomocysteinemia;blood stasis, phlegm, qi deficiency and dampness were the main syndrome elements of hyperhomocysteinemia patients. The two results were consistent, and the consistency of phlegm syndrome and phlegm dampness constitution was the most obvious.

OBJECTIVE Investigating the distribution and drug-resistance of pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infecion for children in Wuhan region to provide the evidence of diagnoses and treatment for clinician.METHODS The positive results of urine culture of 405 children with urinary tract infections from Jul 2002 to Dec 2005 were analyzed.All of the isolates were tested by Kirby-Bauer susceptibility method.RESULTS Among 405 pathogens,the majority was Escherichia coli which occupied 36.7%;then Enterococcus accounted for 29.4%.Totally 405 pathogens all showed the higher drug resistance,while antibacterial antivities of imipenem,amikacin and furantoin to E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and of glycopeptides,high concentration of streptomycin and furantoin to Enterococcus were preserved well.CONCLUSIONS The effective measurements and reasonable use of antibiotics should be taken to hold back the occurrence and prevalence of urinary tract infecion for children.
