Objective To construct nursing service quality evaluation index system for abdominal operation patients. Methods Based on the service quality(SERVQUAL)model, a total of 33 nursing experts were selected by Delphi method for two turns of consultation. All the consultation experts have got senior professional title and 90.9%(30/33) have been working for more than 20 years. Finally, we calculated the questionnaire response rates, the authority coefficient, the mean and standard deviation, the coefficient of variation and the harmony coefficient. Results The response rates of questionnaires was 91.89% and 100% respectively, while the authority coefficient of experts was 0.91. The harmony coefficient of first and second and third indictors was 0.43, 0.47 and 0.53 respectively in the second consultation. Combined with selection of indicators and expert opinion, the final evaluation index system includes 6 first grade indexes, 14 second grade indexes and 49 third grade indexes. Conclusions There is a high level of authority and team coordination in experts. The results of the study can provide a reference for evaluating the nursing service quality of abdominal operation patients.

Objective To investigate the density of bladder pacemaker cells (ICC) in prostatic hyperplasia with detrusor underactivity (PDU) and the impact of stress environment on its growth. Methods 23 PDU guinea pig models and 26 pigs for control (BPH, n = 6; normal group, n = 20) were developed. After water-filled urodynamic pressure measurement of bladder for three groups , detrusor tissue was made into frozen sections. TheICC numberwere measured with immunofluorescence stainingand observed by confocal microscopy. Further ICC cells in vitro were cultured under stress environment and its counts were analyzed by colony formation assay. Results Decreased density of ICC was observed in PDU group (0.28 ± 0.52)% compared to control [(5 ± 0.36)%,P < 0.05] and the BPH group (5.4% ± 0.42)%, P < 0.05). The ratio of dimer and monomer [(6.13 ± 1.45)%] in PDU group was significantly lower than those of the control [31.55 ± 9.67)%, P < 0.05] and the BPH group [(71.52 ± 8.95)%, P < 0.05]. There is a negative correlation between the density of ICC in vitro and duration of stress. By contrast , there is a positive correlation between the density of ICC and incubation time after the stress is removed. Conclusion Distribution of decreased density of ICC is involved in the pathogenesis of PDU , which may be due to long-term stress environment. Thus eliminating stress environment may help restore ICC density in PDU.

Objective To explore a better method for treatment atrophic rhinitis.Methods 56 patients with atrophic rhinitis(96 lateral)were treated by nasal submucou pediculated bone-suberiosteal muscle flap extracted from anterior wall of sinus maxillaries.Results All patients were followed 2 to 10 years,total effective rate was 100 %, with 49 cases(87.5 %)showing prominent effect.Conclusion The grafted flap cannot be assimilated,felled off and necrosis,because the flap has rich blood supply.This methods has obvious short-term effective and stable long-term effective.No complications were found.

Three cases of terminal stage heart disease received orthotopic heart transplantation at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, the First Hospital of Nanchang University between August 2001 and December 2003. These three cases were all female and died of brain death. Body weight difference between donor and recipient was less than 20%. All three cases underwent superior and inferior vena cave osculation and received immunosuppressive therapy of cyclosporine A, prednisone, and mycophenolate postoperatively. They were successfully discarded. Heart function recovered to grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ(NYHA). No infection or serious rejection was found during the surgery. These results indicate that good donor heart preservation, consummate perioperative processing, and proper immunosuppressiva therapy are the key measures of successful heart transplantation.

This article reveals the similarities and differences between the two materia medica systems of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Mongolian medicine by comparing the medicinal property theories of these two; our expectations are the mutual profits and complementation of the two traditional medicines from each other, a broader clinical use of natural medicinal herbs, and then, a development of traditional medicines.

OBJECTIVETo summarize clinical application result of the thoracodorsal artery perforator pedicled flap for repair of soft tissue defects on the ipsilateral upper limb.

METHODSFrom September 2003 to May 2007, 8 patients (6 males and 2 females) with soft tissue defects on the ipsilateral upper limb underwent reconstruction with the thoracodorsal artery perforator pedicled flap. The age of patients was from 16- to 45-years-old with an average of 32 years. Of them, the recipient sites of 5 cases were located on the arm region, 3 cases on the forearm.

RESULTSThe minor superficial infection of 1 case occurred on the recipient site after operation and the wound gradually healed by daily change dressings. All the flaps had survived completely and the postoperative course was uneventful with satisfactory clinical results. Follow-up period ranged for 9-38 months after operation (mean, 19 months). There was no remarkable donor site morbidity. All cases had good appearance on recipient site.

CONCLUSIONThe thoracodorsal artery perforator pedicled flap is thin and suitable for repair of soft tissue defect on the ipsilateral upper limb.

OBJECTIVETo detect gene mutations of children with glucose-6-phosphorate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency and of carriers of G-6-PD deficiency gene with the technique of polymerase chain reaction and denatured gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE), and to explore the value of the technique in the diagnosis of G-6-PD deficiency and G-6-PD deficiency gene carrying.

METHODScDNAs were harvested by reverse transcription method after RNAs had been extracted from peripheral blood of 43 children with G-6-PD deficiency and of their family members (36 lineages). Electrophoresis behaviors of the fragment from exons 11-12 of G-6-PD cDNA were detected with the technique of PCR-DGGE. Gene sequencing was then performed for the abnormal electrophoresis bands.

RESULTSAbnormal electrophoresis bands were found in the 1304-1520 fragment of G-6-PD cDNA in 33 out of 36 family lineages. The G-6-PD/6-PGD ratio was below 1.00 in 9 mothers of patients. Three of them had the G-6-PD/6-PGD ratio lower than 0.50. The PCR-DGGE bands were the same in the 3 mothers. Gene sequencing showed double heterozygote in the 3 mothers, but the maternal carriers of G-6-PD deficiency gene who had normal G-6-PD/6-PGD ratio showed mono-heterozygote in gene sequencing. Three mutational sites were found in the 1304-1520 fragment, i.e., C1311TG1376T and G1388A. The electrophoresis behaviors were different among the 3 gene mutational sites.

CONCLUSIONSPCR-DGGE is a sensitive and reliable technique in the screening of gene mutations. It is useful in the diagnosis of G-6-PD deficiency, especially in the diagnosis of female G-6-PD deficiency gene carrying.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of fludarabine-based regimen for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL).18 patients with CLL were treated with F regimen [fludarabine 30 mg/(m(2)·d) intravenously for 3 d, repeatedly every 28 days]. 22 patients were treated with FC regimen [fludarabine 25 mg/(m(2)·d) plus cyclophosphamide 250 mg/(m(2)·d) intravenously for 3 d, repeatedly every 28 days]. The results showed that the rate of complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) and overall remission (OR) reached 16.7%, 61.1% and 77.8% in the F regimen groups and 59.1%, 40.9% and 100% in the FC regimen groups (P < 0.05, P > 0.05 and P > 0.05), respectively. FC regimen resulted in significantly higher CR rate than that in single-agent fludarabine regimen. The main adverse reactions were myelosuppression and immunosuppression. No significant differences were found between the two regimens. FC regimen did not increase the rate of severe infections. It is concluded that FC regimen can give higher CR rate as compared with F regimen, fludarabine-based regimens is effective and safe first-line regimen for patients with CLL.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical application of microsurgical fascia latae flaps combined with rib and skin graft for reconstruction of the distal phalanx defect.

METHODSThe phalanx wounds were sutured together like syndactyly. The autologous rib was revised to repair the bone defect of distal phalanx. The fascia latae flap was used to cover the bone exposure with microvascular anastomoses and resurfaced by a meshed split-thickness skin graft.

RESULTS5 cases were treated successfully. The fascia latae flaps were all survived with only skin graft necrosis at the distal end in one case. It was healed spontaneously.

CONCLUSIONSThe fascia latae flap is nourished by the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. The flaps has a good blood supply and can be easily obtained with a long vascular pedicle. The flap is ideal for the reconstruction of distal phalanx defect when combined with autologous rib implant and skin graft.
