BACKGROUND:Peri-fracture nerve injury can inhibit osteoclast activity and promote early fracture healing. OBJECTIVE:To investigate dynamical y the effects of traumatic brain injury on the bone mineral density, microstructure, biomechanics property and bone metabolism in rat models of fractures. METHODS:Sixty-three male rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group, simple fracture group and fracture combined with brain injury group. After 3, 6, and 3 months, the animals were sacrificed in batches under anesthesia, and then, the bones and serum specimens were used to detect the bone mineral density, microstructure, biomechanics property, serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of col agen type I and osteocalcin levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the simple fracture group, the fracture combined brain injury group had significantly increased bone mineral density of the proximal tibia, bone volume fraction of the cancel ous bone, trabecular thickness, cross-sectional area of tibial cortical bone and total area of the bone marrow, ultimate load and stress of the tibia, serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of col agen type I and osteocalcin levels at 3 and 6 weeks after modeling (P<0.05), but no differences in the above-mentioned indexes were found among the three groups at 3 months after modeling. These findings indicate that traumatic brain injury can increase the bone mineral density at the fracture site, improve bone microstructure and enhance biomechanical properties, thereby promoting bone healing and bone metabolism at the fracture site.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cause,clinical characteristic and preventive measures in nosocomial infection of multiple sites. METHODS A total of 123 cases of nosocomial infection in multiple sites in our hospital in 2004 were prospectively monitored and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Among 1645 cases of nosocomial infection,123 cases suffered from nosocomial infection in multiple sites.The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract and urinary tract.The main risk factors were over usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics and invasive operation.The serious result was prolongation of duration in hospital,increase in mortality and expensiveness. CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection in multiple sites is a main object to be monitored.To prevent,discover and control nosocomial infection in time is an effective measure to reduce the risk of nosocomial infection.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the condition of nosocomical systemic fungus infection and make preventive and control measures against nosocomial systemic fungus infection.METHODS The 496 fungus-cultured positive cases with average age of 61.04 years old among the discharged patients from Jan 2003 to Dec 2005 were reviewed and analyzed.RESULTS The rate of nosocomical systemic fungus infection was 0.53%,from which the over 60 age senile patients accounted for 63.1%.Lower respiratory tract and urinary tract were the most frequent infection sites.The Candida albicans was accounted for 70.71%.The death rate of patients with nosocomial systemic fungus infection was 27.82%.The major correlated factors of nosocomial systemic fungus infection were the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and not be standardized and the iatrojenic injury of respiratory and urological tracts.CONCLUSIONS The causes of nosocomial systemic fungus infection are closely related to medical treatment;the death rate of patients with nosocomial systemic fungus infection is obvious higher than that without it;to prevent and control nosocomial systemic fungus infection is the key point of nosocomial treatment.

Objective To explore the effects of the bio-psycho-social-spiritual health model intervention on the bio-psycho-social-spiritual health model of the patients with cervical cancer.Methods 118 patients with cervical cancer were randomly assigned to the control group (60 cases) and the intervention group (58 cases).All patients received the routing nursing of cervical cancer.In addition the intervention group received the bio-psycho-social-spiritual health model intervention.Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) was used to investigate their quality of life before being intervened,being intervened for 3 and 6 months.Results The range of FACT-G total score was 44-96 (68.29±11.60).The total scores of FACT-G before the intervention,3 and 6 months after the intervention were 66.82 ±12.21,79.31±5.15 and 89.67±5.21,compared with those of the control group,which were 69.81 ±10.84,74.48±7.97,79.74±7.17,the time effect,Inter group effect and interaction effect were 137.723,10.944 and 14.639,P＜0.01.Conclusions The bio-psycho-social-spiritual health model intervention can improve the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer.

The use of high flow nasal cannula(HFNC) therapy as a noninvasive respiratory support approach for preterm infants is rapidly increasing.HFNC is an alternative to nasal continuous positive airway pressure(nCPAP) for treating apnea of prematurity,primary respiratory support for neonates with respiratory distress,post-extubation support,facilitating nCPAP weaning in preterm infants.In this article,the proposed mechanisms of HFNC and the evidence from clinical trials of HFNC use in preterm infants were reviewed,and recommendations for evidence-based practice were established.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the drug use in the inpatients of our hospital and evaluate its rationality.METHODS:By using PASS-nested "Army Health No.1" hospital information system,the drug utilization in these patients was analyzed.RESULTS:Among 32 834 medication orders for 586 inpatients,732(1.50%)were warning ones.CONCLUSION:The drug utilization in the inpatients of our hospital was rational on the whole.PASS satisfies clinical doctors' needs,and the physicians feel satisfied with the system.Nevertheless,there are some problems remain to be tackled.

Objective To investigate the relationship between angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE)inserting/defaulting(I/D) gene polymorphisms and the femoral artery intima-media thickness(FA-IMT) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods The polymorphisms of ACE(I/D) was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) method and the FA-IMT was assessed using non-invasive high resolution B-mode ultrasonography in 303 patients with T2DM in Hunan province.Results The frequency of I allele of ACE gene polymorphisms was higher in T2DM than that in healthy controls,but frequency of D allele was lower in T2DM than that in healthy controls(P

Metformin has been applied for 50 year.In recent years,new studies found that metformin could reduce glucose through activating inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ(DPP Ⅳ) and enhancing the biological effect of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1).In addition,metformin can reduce vascular disease risk of patients with type 2 diabetes by improving insulin resistance and the effect of reducing total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),blood coagulation factor Ⅶ,plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) and proteinuria.Merformin can't change blood pressure of patients with type 2 diabetes,however,it can significantly reduce the salt-sensitive blood pressure of patients with obesity.Metformin has also been applied to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).It can induce ovulation,decrease the rate of abortion and have effect on hypertrichosis and hyperandrogenism.Besides,metformin has been the focus of the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

This paper discusses issues involved in the deployment of the shelters of campaign-grade rapid medical support system in such aspects as entering of the vehicles,unloading of the shelters and grouping of the staffs. It suggests that the vehicles should rapidly move in at their positions and be butted bidirectional. As the system is deployed,such things should all be fixed as the position of the vehicles & equipments as well as the deployment motions and sequence. The system is positioned at hard surface,the shelters should be pushed towards the immobilized vehicles,but for the system located at soft surface,it is quite the contrary. With the above-mentioned measures implemented,the duration for shelters of campaign-grade rapid medical support system can be reduced largely.

Objective To explore the effect of prenatal steroid (PNS) treatment on preventing early severe non-oliguric hyperkalemia in Extremely-Low-Birth-Weight (ELBW) infants.Methods Retrospective comparative analysis was performed on 31 ELBW infants who had been admitted to the hospital’s NICU between July 2001 and Jun 2005. Infants whose mothers received a full course of steroids before delivery (PNS group; n=18) were compared with those infants whose mothers did not receive steroids (NSG group; n=13). Infants were included in the PNS group if their mother was given one full course of dexamethasone ( 10 mg q12h4 doses) before delivery. The last dose must have been given at least 24 hours before delivery. The arterial blood gas , serum concentrations of potassium, sodium and creatinine were measured every 24 hours, and fluid intakes, urine outputs were monitored every day. Results Hyperkalemia was significantly lower in the PNS than in the NSG infants at the first 72 hours of age [5/18 cases ( 27.78%) vs 9/13 cases (69.23%)],P=0.023). However, the serum concentrations of sodium, creatinine, fluid intakes, urine outputs were not significantly difference in both groups. Conclusions Prenatal steroids treatment can reduce early severe non-oliguric hyperkalemia in EVBL infants.
