Objective To observe the efficacy of infrared irradiation combined with a topical solution of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in dressing second degree burns. Methods A total of 100 second degree burn cases were divided into a treatment group and a control group using a random number table.The treatment group received infrared irradiation combined with rhEGF topical solution; the control group was given only dressings with pure rhEGF topical solution.Pain was assessed by using the visual analogue scale,the time for wound secretions to completely disappear and wound healing time were assessed in both groups.ResultsPain was less severe in the treatment group,secretions completely stoppedmore quickly and average wound healing time was significantly shortened.The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant.ConclusionInfrared irradiation combined with rhEGF topical solution can have synergistic effects in shortening the duration of secretions and wound healing time and alleviating pain.The combination is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the relationship between evidence-based nursing tactics and quality of life of breast cancer patients so as to provide the reference for the best nursing strategy .Methods 87 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer received surgical treatment were randomly divided into experimental group (44 cases) and control group (43 cases) .Patients in control group were given general nursing ,while those in experimental group were given evidence-based nursing tactics on the ba-sis of general nursing .Both groups were asked to fill in the quality of life questionnaire after 4 months breast cancer treatment and before treatment .Results The quality of life in experimental group was significantly improved after treatment compared with that of before treatment(P< 0 .05) ,the quality of life in the experimental group received evidence-based nursing tactics is significantly better than that of in control group (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Evidence-based nursing tactics can improve the quality of life in breast cancer patients .

OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection in the treatment of vertebro-basilar artery insufficiency(VBI)after cerebral infraction. METHODS:128 patients with VBI after cerebral infraction were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 64 cases in each group. Both group received general treatment. Control group was additionally given Shuxuetong injection 6 ml added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 250 ml,ivgtt,qd. Observation group was additionally given Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hy-drochloride injection 10 ml into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 ml,ivgtt,qd. Both groups received treatment for consecutive 2 weeks. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as blood lipid,vertebro-basilar artery blood velocity and blood viscosity before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The total effective rate of observa-tion group was 95.31%,which was significantly higher than 79.69% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in blood lipid,vertebro-basilar artery blood velocity and blood viscosity between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,above indexes of 2 groups were improved significantly,and blood lipid and vertebro-basilar ar-tery blood velocity of observation group were significantly better than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvi-ous ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection shows significant therapeutic efficacy for VBI after cerebral infraction,can significantly improve blood lipid,vertebro-basilar artery blood velocity and blood viscosity with good safety.

Coronary heart disease and depression have a close relationship.Depression is common in patients with coronary artery disease and its presence is a strong independent risk factor for the development and adverse prognosis of coronary heart disease.The present review has summarized current knowledge of depression in patients with coronary artery disease regarding epidemiology,pathophysiologic pathways and treatment.

Objective To analyze the complications associated with pelvic intraarterial therapy in patients with recurrent and advanced gynecologic cancer and to discuss the causes, the prevention and management measures of the complications in details. Methods One hundred and thirty procedures of pelvic intraarterial therapy were performed in 78 patients with pathologically confirmed recurrent and advanced gynecologic cancer, with one to six procedures per case. The Seldinger technique was used in all patients. The catheter was introduced via femoral artery on one side (mostly on the right side), and the combined antineoplastic agents were infused into contralateral internal iliac artery and(or) ipsilateral branches supplying the involved area. Common iliac arteries and inferior mesenteric arteries were also used in some cases. Results Six patients (7.69%) developed severe skin and subcutaneous necrosis (erosion or ulceration) on the buttock and vulvae. Five of them recovered from the injuries after heteropathy in less than 2 months. One patient received surgical debridement 4 months after the pelvic chemotherapy, whose wound healed one month later. Conclusion The causes of the severe complications of pelvic intraarterial therapy were as follows: the infusing chemotherapeutic agent was too large in dosage and too dense in concentration; the infusing time was too short; the internal iliac artery gave off a lot of abnormal skin branches; the catheter was placed too distal in small branches; the embolic pieces was too small; and the development of collateral arteries was poor especially in pretreated patients with pelvic surgery and(or) radiotherapy, etc. Heteropathy should be given in no time when the severe complications were encountered, and surgical debridement and(or) skin grafting was a need in some cases. So the interventional performers should be familiar with pelvic arteriograms to select the proper location of catheter, administer the suitable dosage of therapeutic agents dilutedly and slowly, and use large emboli, such as larger Gelfoam particles or strips.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of appling slow-releasing triptolide on adventitia on the intima hyperplasia of autologous vein graft.Methods In 24 male New Zealand rabbits, external jugular vein to common carotid artery models were established, and then were divided into 3 equal groups at random: blank-control group, receiving no management on adventitia of the vein graft; F-127 control group, receiving local application of 0.5 mL of 20 % F-127 on adventitia of the vein graft; experiment group, receiving local application of 0.5 mL of 20 % F-127 containing triptolide 300?g. Vein graft specimens were harvested at 2 weeks after the operation. Histomorphologic methods were used to detect the degree of intima hyperplasia of the specimens. The expression of bcl-2 and Fas of the specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) were detected by TUNEL.Results Two weeks after vein grafting, compared to blank-control group and F-127 control group, intima hyperplasia of experiment group [intima thickness (29.9?7.6)?m, I/M 0.56?0.08] was markedly inhibited (P

The neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) was produced consistently in rabbits by raising intracranial pressure (ICP) with an infusion of anticoagulat rabbit blood into subarachnoid space of the bilateral parietal regions. When ICP increased from 60mmHg to 140 mmHg, There was a rapid decrease in blood flow volume of the bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICABFV). At the same time, the frequency of cervical sympathetic discharge and the concentrations of plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline increased acutly accompanied by a rapid elevation of systemic arterial pressure (SAP). There was a decline in SAP and a further decrease in ICABFV and the animal died as ICP was sustained at 140mmHg for 5-20min. Autopsy revealed severe hemorrhagic pulmonary edema and the left ventricular and atrial enlargement. In the period of ICP rising, the NPE was prevented if SAP was kept at the baseline levels by withdrawing blood from femoral artery, The results suggest that decreased cerebral blood supply due to ICP rising is responsible for the massive sympathetic discharge and catecholamine release which contribute to SAP elevtion and left ventricular overload, the NPE is mediated by hemodynamic mechanism.
