Objective To investigate the causes of the complications occurred after repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations and to discuss their nursing interventions. Methods A total of 54 embolization procedures were performed in 17 patients with huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The causes of complications were carefully examined and the preventive measures were discussed. The prompt and necessary nursing interventions were formulated in order to prevent the complications or serious consequences. Results Among the total 17 patients, one patient gave up the treatment because of the cerebral hemorrhage which occurred two months after receiving 3 times of embolization therapy. One patient experienced cerebral vascular spasm during the procedure, which was relieved after antispasmodic medication and no neurological deficit was left behind. Two patients developed transient dizziness and headache, which were alleviated spontaneously. One patient presented with nervousness, fear and irritability, which made him hard to cooperate with the operation and the basis intravenous anesthesia was employed. No complications occurred in the remaining cases. Conclusion The predictive nursing interventions for the prevention of complications are very important for obtaining a successful repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations, which will ensure that the patients can get the best treatment and the complications can be avoided.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) guided interstitial chemotherapy for the pancreas in canine model. Methods A therapeutic 19gauge needle was inserted into the pancreas with EUS guidance,and seeds with sustained release of 5-iluorouracil were implanted into the tissue. After 14 days of clinical observation,the animals were sacrificed and the tissue response to local chemotherapy was examined. Results All the seeds were implanted successfuUy and no migration was observed. Chemotherapy induced tissue fibrous necrosis was localized in the pancreas without significant complications. The apoptotic index of tissue within 1 cm of the seeds increased.Biochemical parameters were normal in all the dogs. Conclusion EUS-guided implantation of seeds is a safe,simple and minimally invasive technique for interstitial chemotherapy in the pancreas.

Objective To investigate a repair method for unilateral complete cleft lip nasal deformities.Methods Based on the fullness of healthy nasal wing,Z-form plasty was designed with a nasal mucous membrane and alar cartilage flap,to prolong its curtate length of the deformed side through overlapping transposition,and then with suspension of the custom-crafted nasal wing to replace its abnormal structure,subsequently,to recover the normal anatomic structure of the nosewing,and to get the nasal deformity repaired.Results A total of 12 patients with the severe nasal deformity were treated by this method.and all had satisfactory results.Conclusion This technique is a good choice for repairing the severe secondary nasal deformity after single complete cleft lip operation.

Objective:To investigate the infusion methods of postoperative enteral nutrition in patients with gastric cancer.Methods:86 patients with gastric cancer received radical operationin our hospital from January 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled for the study and randomly divided into continuous infusion group and periodic infusion group,each group with 43 cases.Patients in continuous infusion group were given postoperative continuous enteral nutrition for 24 h in one day,while cases in periodic infusion group were given postoperative continuous enteral nutrition for 15-17 h in one day.Results of enteral nutrition,physical indicators including upper arm skinfold,diameter of midpoint of upper arm and grip strength,nutritional indexes including total protein (TP),hemoglobin (Hb),albumin (AIb),prealbumin (PA) and transferrin(TF),immune indicators including immunoglobulin G(IgG),immunoglobulin M (IgM),immunoglobulin A (IgA),CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+were compared between two groups before and after operation.Results:Intolerance of enteral nutrition occurred in 1 case(2.3％) of continuous infusion group and 3 cases(7.0％) of periodic infusiongroup,and there was no significant difference between them (P＞0.05).Time of transition to full enteral nutrition and taking off the tube to self-feeding incontinuous infusion group were significantly smaller than that in periodic infusion group (P＜0.05).There were no significant difference in baseline data,physical indicators,nutritional indexes and immune indicators between them before operation (P＞0.05).PA level at 5 d,10 d after operation in continuous infusion group were significantly higher than that in periodic infusion group (P＜0.05),and there were no significant difference in physical indicators,other nutritional indexes and immune indicators between them after operation(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Compared with periodic infusion,continuous infusion method could shorten the time of transition to full enteral nutrition and taking off the tube to self-feeding in patients after radical operation of gastric cancer,and had more significant effect of improvement of nutritional status,worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective To explore the application of bacterial community diversity profiling in forensic comparison of soil.Methods The DNA profilings of bacterial community from 5 soil samples of different source and 4 samples of same source were obtained through the specific amplification of 16S rDNA segments followed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism(T-RFLP)analysis,and the similarity indexes between different soil samples were calculated.Result The ranges of similarity indexes between different sources of soil samples were 0.3～0.44,and the ranges between same sources of soil samples were 0.76～0.87.Conclusion There is a great relativity between the bacterial community diversity profiling and the source of soil sample.
