Objective To explore the opportunities and challenges which COC (continuity of care) has been facing,some strategies were proposed and improved continuously during the process of deepening medical reform in public hospital,and at the same time to supply reference for government to make relative policy.Methods By SWOT-analysis,the strengths,weaknesses,opportunities as well as threats of COC in medical reform were analyzed comprehensively.Results Depending on national relevant policies,supportive measures,the cooperation from multidisciplinary team was improved.Along with strategies of strengthening advantages,weakening disadvantages,meeting challenges and facing up to threat.COC had be approved and consented initially.Conclusions Public hospitals should demonstrate their various resources and make full use of their advantages,then guide and solid grass-roots in the new healthcare system which integrate medical,rehabilitation and elderly nursing out of the hospital.It must benefit the hospital,specialized subject,family and society.

With the public hospitals expanding,the nurses at age of marriage or bearing are enrolled and account for large part of all health care workers in China.A significant percentage of nurses in the period of pregnancy or lactation,especially abortion and sterility,deteriorate the shortage of nursing human resources and the nurses' health.It is essential to cope with the matter in order to maintain the nurses and contribute to the professional development.In this paper,we review the human resource management of the nurses during the periods at home and abroad from the human resources,occupational protection and management approaches,which is contributed to supplement the human resource.

As one of the important factors that impact the life of quality to the elderly,visual impairment has become a research highlight in developed countries.And some related results have been found out.It is in the primary stage of establishing the elderly community extending service system in China.Based on this background,literature about the impact of visual impairment on quality of life of the residential setting elderly and related interventions were reviewed.By drawing the experience from developed countries,we aim to innovate perfect interventions,improve the quality of life,avoid unexpected events such as fall and medication mistakes.

Objective To investigate the fatigue experience of the community-dwelling frail elderly to establish the conceptual model.Methods Grounded theory was adopted.With MAXQDA v10.4.15.1for 3 levels coding,the conceptual model of fatigue experience of community-dwelling frail elderly people was structured through constant comparison and in-depth analysis.Results Multi-response,selfmanagement,safe and belonging,hitting rock bottom,accepting and transferring formed the conceptual model.Conclusions Based on the conceptual model,nurses should pay more attention to concern about the fatigue experience of community-dwelling frail elderly people,and probe different assessment methods to enrich comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA),then improve the community health service level and the quality of elderly people's life.

A comprehensive analysis was carried out about the influencing factors of medication safety in the elderly with multiple chronic diseases,who lived in the community and stayed at their own homes.Applicable and simple preventive countermeasures should be established to ensure the medication safety outside medical agency.We should promote extending service of hospitals,cooperate with community and nursing facility in order to increase life quality of the elderly,and supply reference for professional continuous service model including rapid aging,empty nest with advanced age,disability and dementia and elderly people with chronic diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of different operative approaches on perioperative respiratory and cardiac function of patients with gastric cardia carcinoma. Methods The perioperative changes of SpO2 ,Breath Rate (BR) and Heart Rate(HR) of patients with gastric cardia carcinoma underwent surgical therapies through transthoracic ( n = 30 ), transabdominal ( n = 37 ) or trans-thoracoabdominal ( n = 10 )approaches were compared respectively. Results On the postoperative 1st,2nd,4th and 7th day,the changes of BR in transthoracic (5. 20 ± 0. 96,5. 17 ± 1. 58,3.93 ± 1.53,2. 63 ± 1.25 )/min and trans-thoracoabdominal (5.80 ±0. 79,6. 10 ± 1.20,4. 80 ± 1.32,3.00 ± 1.49)/min approach groups were significantly greater than that of transabdominal group (4. 35 ± 1.06,3.89 ±0. 99,2. 24 ± 1.30,1.16 ±0. 65)/min (Ps ＜0. 05). At the meanwhile, the changes of SpO2 at 2nd, 4th postoperative day of transthoracic ( [ 8. 30 ± 1.95 ] %, [ 7.23 ±2. 01 ] % ) and trans-thoracoabdominal ( [ 8.60 ± 1.43 ] %, [ 7. 70 ± 2. 11 ] % ) approach groups were significantly greater than that of transabdominal group ( [ 7. 08 ± 1.82 ] %, [ 6.24 ± 1.88 ] % ) ( Ps ＜ 0. 05 ), but there were no significant differences observed among three groups on the postoperative 1st,7th day. On the postoperative 1 st,2nd and 4th day, the changes of HR of transthoracic ( 18.00 ± 3.79,13.47 ± 4. 42,8. 60 ±4. 13 )/min and trans-thoracoabdominal ( 19. 80 ± 4. 96,14. 80 ± 3.33,8.70 ± 3.47)/min approach groups were significantly greater than that of transabdominal group ( 13.62 ± 4. 00,10. 84 ± 4. 16,6. 32 ± 2. 53 )/min, too (Ps ＜0. 05) ,but no differences were observed among three groups on the postoperative 7th day (Ps ＞0. 05).Coniclusion Transthoracic,transabdominal and trans-thoracoabdominal approachs resulted in different effects on respiratory and cardiac function in patients with gastric cardia carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the value of neutrophil gelatinase - associated lipocalin (NGAL) for diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass established. Method 120 children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled in this prospectively study. Serial urine samples were analyzed by ELISA for NGAL expression. The primary outcome measure was AKI, which was defined as a 50% or greater increase in serum creatinine from baseline. Result 21 children ( 17.5% ) developed AKI. Urine concentrations of NGAL increased after cardiopulmonary bypass had been established for 2 hours. The concentration of NGAL in urine after cardiopulmonary bypass had been established for 2 hours was used to diagnose AKI. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0. 96, the sensitivity was 92%, and the specificity was 91% for the cutoff value of 100ng/mg Cr. Conclusion Concentrations of NGAL in urine might be used as a sensitive and specific biomarker for early prediction of AKI after cardiopulmonary bypass had been established.

Objective To investigate the association between the HLA-DRB1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in North China. Methods A 1∶1 matched case-control study was adopted. Polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific primers techniques (PCR-SSP) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to type polymorphisms (DR15, DR16, DR1, DR11). Information on environmental-related risk factors and pathological changes of tuberculosis was collected using a pre-tested standard questionnaire. Variance analysis, Chi-square, univariate and multivariate conditional Logistic analysis were conducted with SPSS 12.0 for Window. Results A sample of 124 pairs of cases and controls was studied. Univariate analysis demonstrated that DR15 mutant increased the risk of susceptibility of pulmonary tuberculosis (OR＝2.461, 95%CI: 1.363~4.444, P=0.002),and it would further increased if DR16 mutant occurred together (OR=4.904, 95%CI: 1.554~15.476). In multivariate analysis, DR15 mutant also associated with susceptibility of pulmonary tuberculosis (OR=2.996, 95%CI: 1.51~5.945). Conclusion Polymorphism of DR15 genotype might be a susceptible genotype of TB patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in North China.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the indication, complication and efficacy of bronchial artery embolization for the management of lung cancer with massive hemoptysis.

METHODSThirty-eight cases of lung cancer with massive hemoptysis were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from January 1996 to January 2003. All cases presented with acute hemoptysis from 220 to 980 ml daily, with a mean of 290 ml daily. A digital subtracted bronchial arteriogram was perfomed and bleeding arteries were embolized.

RESULTSHemoptysis decreased gradually in all cases and ceased in 3 or 4 days after embolization. Recurrence was found only in one case 2 months after embolization and second embolization was applied to control hemoptysis. No serious complications occured.

CONCLUSIONSBronchial artery embolization is safe and efficient for the management of lung cancer with massive hemoptysis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of unilateral pediatric kidney donation for adult kidney transplantation.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on the cases of children who donated unilateral donor kidney for adult kidney transplantation recipients in our hospital, and those who were followed up for more than three years were included in this study. The body weight of the recipients in group A was ≤50 kg, and the body weight of the recipients in group B was ≤70 kg.The recipients were divided into 0-5 year old donor group (group A) and 6-17 year old donor group (B group). Clinical data, recipient/kidney survival, graft function and growth, and complications of the recipient were analyzed.Results:A total of 45 adult recipients were enrolled, including 12 in group A and 33 in group B. The renal survival rate at 3 years after operation was (100%, 96.9%)/(91.6%, 93.9%). One week after the operation, the early postoperative recovery of renal function in group B was better than that in group A, and the difference of serum creatinine was statistically significant ( P<0.05), while the difference of serum creatinine in other postoperative follow-up time points was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Within a year, both groups of grafts continued to grow, reaching adult levels in one year. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of protein in the two groups was 33.3% and 6.1%, respectively, 1 case in each group still had proteinuria at 1 year after surgery, and only 1 case in the infant donor kidney recipient in group A had proteinuria at 3 years after surgery. Conclusions:Unilateral donor kidney transplantation from children can provide good results for adult patients with uremia by selecting suitable donors according to the weight of the recipient.
