Objective To investigate the application of quality control cycle activity in reducing thedisquali-fication rate of bowel preparation for colonoscopy outpatients.Methods Set up a group of quality control circle,and select the issues that reducing the disqualification rate of bowel preparation for colonoscopy outpatients as the activity theme.According to the activity steps of quality control circle,the activity was carried out.The causes of disqualifica-tion rate of bowel preparation were analyzed and the countermeasures to improve and implement were implemented. Also,the disqualification rates of bowel preparation before and after quality control circle were compared.Results The disqualification rate of bowel preparation was reduced from 39.09% to 14.03% after quality control circle activi-ty.The difference was statistically significant(χ2 =53.65,P <0.01).Target success rate was 104.42%,and the pro-gress rate was 64.11%.Conclusion The quality control circle activity can effectively reduce the disqualification rate of bowel preparation for colonoscopy outpatients,thereby improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment,and reduce the economic burden of patients.After clear improvement of focus,the leading causes of disqualification bowel prepa-ration are obtained through characteristic diagram (figure 2)analysis.Also,true causes are validated based on the three principles.The four true causes final defined include short contact time nurses and patients,large liquid dosage, none nursing intervention outside hospital,and chronic constipation without intervention.

Objective:To compare the dosimetric differences between volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy with RapidArc and fixed-field intensity modulation radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and identify the techniques from which patients of different T stages can gain the maximum benefit. Methods:Sixty non-metastatic patients with NPC were randomly selected. According to the T staging of 2008 Chinese Classification, T1-T2 stage cases were observed in 20 of the 60 patients, whereas T3 and T4 stage cases were seen with 20 patients each. RapidArc and IMRT treatment plans were managed by the Eclipse treatment planning sys-tem of Varian Co., US. The dosimetry of the target volume coverage, organs at risk (OARs), monitor unit (MU) per second, and deliv-ery time were evaluated. Results:Both techniques reached the requirement of clinical treatment. The coverages of planning target vol-ume, conformity index, and homogeneity index were similar. However, the stratified analysis of T staging indicated that RapidArc plans led to an increased dose to the tumor target (P<0.05) and an improved homogeneity index (P=0.059) in the T4 stage cases. RapidArc al-lowed a statistical dose reduction to the OARs, including optic nerves, lens, temporal lobe, V20 of the parotids, larynx, and temporo-mandibular joint (P<0.05). In the T-stage stratified analysis, the D1%and Dmax of brain stem in T1-T3 stages were similar but statistical-ly low in T4 stage in the RapidArc group (P<0.05). Compared with those in IMRT group, the MUs and the delivery time in RapidArc group were reduced by 65%and 63%, respectively. Conclusion:Both RapidArc and IMRT attained the clinical requirement for NPC. RapidArc technique showed improvements in the OARs and reduction in MUs and delivery time. The target volume coverages were similar for T1-T3 stage. However, RapidArc delivered an increased dose to the tumor target in T4 stage cases, and the dose to OARs was reduced.

Objective To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support via naso-jejunal tube in esopha-geal carcinoma patients treated with radiotheraphy.Methods 36 esophageal carcinoma patients were randomly assigned into enteral nutrition(EN)group,while 38 patients assigned to control group.All patients underwent defini-tion IMRT combined with weekly concurrent chemotherapy of paclitaxel-nedaplatin.The naso -jejunal tubes were bedside inserted by hand in EN group.Enteral nutrition support began the day after the tube insertion.The control group took food orally.Nutrition was assessed through body weight,BMI,lymphocyte,albumin,pre -albumin and hemoglobin.Treatment induced complications were recorded.Results The degree of nutritional reduction was lower in EN group and significantly different with the control group.The EN group underwent (4.5 ±1 .1 )cycles concurrent chemotherapy,the control group underwent (3.1 ±2.3)cycles concurrent chemotherapy(t=6.21,P=0.027).The hematotoxicity induced by chemoradiotherapy(CRT)was statistically severe in the control group(χ2 =24.64,P<0.01),while radiation esophagitis was similar between the two groups.Conclusion EN support via naso -jejunal tube in esophageal carcinoma patients treated with radiotheraphy may improve the nutritional status,alleviate CRT induced hematotoxicity,increase tolerance of CRT.

0bjective To investigate the status of readiness for hospital discharge of chronic renal failure patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula surgery and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A total of 229 diabetic patients who were discharged from the department of endocrinology were surveyed by the general data questionnaire, Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS) and Social Support Rating S1cale (SSRS). Results The total score of RHDS was (157.20±19.39) points, and the items were equally (7.15±0.88) points. Education level, inhabiting pattern, discharge guidance skills and subjective support entered the readiness for hospital discharge regression equation of chronic renal failure patients undergoing arteriovenous, accounting for a total of 33.1% of all the variation. Conclusions The readiness for hospital discharge of chronic renal failure patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula surgery is intermediate level. Education level, inhabiting pattern, discharge guidance skills and subjective support could exert important influence on readiness for hospital discharge of chronic renal failure patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula surgery.
