Objective To investigate the changes of vital signs, serum potassium and postoperative comfort of patients treated with MECT in the treatment of low-dose rocuronium.Methods 200 patients with MECT from June 2014 to June 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, and the life signs and adverse reactions were analyzed and compared.Results There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the recovery time, the recovery time and the recovery time of the pharyngeal reflex.The recovery of spontaneous respiration in the experimental group was earlier than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ) .There was no significant difference between the two groups (headache, drowsiness, postoperative irritability) compared with the control group, the incidence of muscle pain in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Pre-injection of rocuronium can reduce the level of serum potassium, shorten the recovery time of spontaneous breathing, and reduce the incidence of postoperative muscle soreness.Compared with the conventional MECT method, it can reduce the contraindication of MECT treatment and increase the comfort of patients.

Objective To explore the roles and functions of the community nurses in community health service centers and their main work content in Xi′an. Methods A total of 320 community nurses in Xi′an were investigated by General Information Questionnaire and revision of Community Nurses′Roles and Functions Questionnaire. Results The work often undertaken by community nurses were: health education, community prevention, providing direct care and chronic disease management, however, the hospice care, care for people with mental disorders, family planning guidance and rehabilitation nursing were seldom involved. The scores of each role from high to low were as follows:the organizers and managers, coordinators and partners, health educators, caregivers, observer and researcher and spokesman with(2.56±0.99),(2.43±0.97), (2.38±0.84),(2.34±0.87),(2.29±0.10),(2.07±0.99) points. Conclusions The job of community nurses in Xi′an includes the medical service, disease prevention, healthcare, rehabilitation and health education etc. However, the well done jobs only are limited to some of simple functions, such as health education and health guidance are done well. The work of hospice care and mental care which need more professional abilities and interpersonal cooperation need to be promoted.

Objective To compare the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS ) in patients with gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD)and healthy controls.Methods The distribution and relative protein amount of two NOS subtypes (nNOS and iNOS)were determined with immunohistological method,and their mRNA levels were measured with real-time PCR method.Results The nNOS and iNOS were mostly distributed in the cytoplasm in epithelia of esophageal mucosa.The nNOS and iNOS in reflux esophagitis (RE)were significantly higher than in non-erosive reflux disease (NERD)patients and healthy controls (P <0.05 ).The mRNA levels of nNOS and iNOS were also significantly higher in RE patients than in NERD patients and healthy controls (P <0.05).Conclusion The expressions of nNOS and iNOS were increased in the esophagus of RE patients,which may be related to the effects of NO on the onset of GERD.

Objective To analyze clinical effectiveness of tigecycline for complicated intra abdominal infections (cIAIs) in surgical intensive care units.Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed as cIAIs from Nov 2011 to Aug 2014 were retrospectively collected.Data of sex, age, severity of disease, bacterial strains and drug resistance, prior antibiotics, dosage of tigecycline were included.Results 1 862 patients were admitted into surgical intensive care unit from Nov 2011 to Aug 2014.54 patients were finally treated by tigecycline among 304 patients diagnosed as cIAIs.Acinetobacter baumannii (23.1％), Klebiella pneumonia (18.5％), Escherichia coli (16.9％) were the top three pathogenic bacteria.41/50 were of multiple bacterial infection.Previously adopted antibiotics were miscellaneous, the number of used antibiotics was up to 13 for one patient.Coverage of tigecycline averaged at 8.9 days.Tigecycline effective rate was 62％, 38％ (19/50) cIAIs were completely controlled and cured,24％ (12/50) patients showed effectiveness of tigercycline that procalcitonin decreased 50％ within 72 h.Logistic regression analysis showed that severity of disease and tigecycline dose contribute to the effectiveness within 72 h.Conclusions Tigecycline is effective alterative for patients diagnosed as complicated intra abdominal infections in surgical intensive care units.

Objective To detect the changes of hemodynamics in patients with portal vein embolization (PVE) before surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and analyze the relationship between hemodynamics and liver hypertrophy. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from April 2008 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Relevant hemodynamic variables were detected and analyzed before and 3, 7, 14 days after PVE. Data were processed using Student t test or linear correlation analysis. Results The main portal vein pressure after PVE was (25.9 ± 4.1 ) cm H2O ( 1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa), which was ( 3.5 ± 2.5 ) cm H2O higher than that before PVE [( 22.4 ± 4.1 ) cm H2O] ( t = - 6. 504, P ＜ 0.05 ). The blood flow velocity in the non-embolized branch of portal vein increased after PVE, and reached peak [(26 ±9)cm/s] at the seventh day after PVE. A positive correlation was found between the hypertrophic rate of the non-embolized lobes and the ratio of embolized lobes to total liver volume ( r = 0. 593, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Greater scope of the embolized vascular bed of portal vein induces higher hypertrophic rate of non-embolized liver.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies in the mycotic aneurysm caused by Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis infection in a single medical center. Methods From January 2000 to December 2008, clinical data of 8 cases with infected aneurysm caused by Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis were analyzed. Results All cases were treated with endovascular stent-graft treatment, including abdominal aortic aneurysm in six cases, thoracic aortic aneurysm in one, and popliteal artery aneurysm in one case. Six bifurcated stent-graft and two tube stent-graft were used. The surgical success rate was 100% with no perioperative or 30-day mortality nor major morbidity. All of the patients recovered uneventfully and were discharged with oral antibacterial agents. During mid-term follow up (range 15-36 months), four patients are alive and well with no signs of persistent or recurrent infection, three cases with recurrent infection were cured by drainage of local abscess and debridement, one case died of rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. Conclusion Endovascular grafting combined with antibiotic therapy and careful surveillance program represent an alternative to conventional surgery in mycotic aneurysms caused by Salmonella enterica serotype choleraesuis.
