Objective: To evaluate the rationality of the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the perioperative period of herniorrhaphy. Methods: Seventy-five cases of herniorrhaphy discharged in March, June and September of 2009 were collected. Parameters including indications, the types of antibacterial drugs, time of administration, solvent choice, usage and dosage, combination, etc, were assessed for the rationality according to the "the guiding principles of clinical use of antibacterial drugs"and other relevant documents. Results: The antibacterial drugs application rate was 100%, while the rationali-ty of the drug selection, the drug administration route, the single dose and the number of dosing, was 70.7%, 100% , 100% and 93.3% respectively. Sixty-two patients(82.7%)were treated with antibacterial drugs at 0.5～2 hours before surgery, and the average time course of the prophylactic use of antibiotics after surgery was 2.3 days. Conclusions: Some problems existed for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the perioperative period of herniorrhaphy. Surgeon should ensure the correct use of the antibacterial drugs to make the safety, efficiency, rationality, and economy for the patients.

The ralationship between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and intestinal microecology is increasingly being given more and more attention. Combined with the devolopment of intestinal microecology disciplines, effects of TCM on regulation of intestinal microecology have been gradually explained. Both clinical studies and animal experiments have confirmed that TCM can maintain the balance of intestinal microecology and regulate the intestinal flora. The author arrangemented the documents related to Chinese herbal compound adjusting intestinal flora in the recent ten years, summarized that the Chinese herbal compound which can strength spleen and replenish Qi, relax bowels and regulate Qi, dissipate dampness and check diarrhea, clear away heat and toxic materials, promote digestion and relieve stasis had certain regulation effects on intestinal microecology, providing basis for revealing the TCM essence of intestinal microecology.

OBJECTIVE To explore the nursing supervision experience in laminar air-flow operating room(OR) and to provide a very clean and safe operating environment for the surgical patients,in order to prevent the operation infection and raise operation quality.METHODS To take the measures of aseptic,clean,purificatory management,and compare the ratio of infection of incisional wound on aseptic operation and the air bacteria detection results with the general operating room simultaneously.RESULTS The ratio of infection of incisional wound on aseptic operation was 0.05% in the laminar air-flow OR(group A) and 0.15% in the general operating room(group B),P

Objective To analyze the correlation of carotid artery stenosis(CAS)with postoperative cognitive dysfunc?tion(POCD)in patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG). Methods Between March 2014 and October 2014, a total of 157 patients who underwent OPCABG in our hospital were enrolled and divided into POCD group and non-POCD group according to their performance respondent to MMSE questionnaire survey conducted 5 days before operation. LOTCA questionnaire survey was conducted at the first day and 7th days pre-and post-operation re?spectively in order to investigate the influence of CAS on POCD in patients. Results The incidence of POCD was 30.6%(48 out of 157). Advanced age, diabetes,cultural level,carotid artery stenosis, Hb level after operation, score of LOTCA question?naire survey conducted before surgery,time of respirator and the time spend in ICU were significant predictive factors for POCD. However, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, CAS and the time spend in ICU were independent risk factors for POCD, especially CAS(OR=5.078,95%CI:2.211-11.662, P<0.001). Patients with severe CAS suffer from a significant decline in cognitive function on space, time, action and ideation. Conclusion CAS is a predominant risk factor for POCD in patients undergoing OPCABG.

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanism and clinical significance of specific immunotherapy (SIT) on the expression changes of GM-CSF and IL-5 in the tissue samples of recurrent nasal polyps. METHOD: Perennial allergic rhinitis patients with recurrent nasal polyps were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group of 19 patients was treated by SIT and standardized treatment (glucocorticoid nasal spray) , and the control group of 17 patients was only treated by standardized treatment (glucocorticoid nasal spray). We measured the expression levels of GM-CSF and IL-5 in the tissue samples of the nasal polyps by ELISA, and compared the results obtained before treatment with expression levels detected at 6 months and 1 year after the treatment. RESULT: The expression of GM-CSF and IL-5 in the recurrent nasal polyps reduced significantly (P < 0.05) in both groups after 6 months and 1 year post-treatment compared with pre-treatment, and the expression of GM-CSF and IL-5 in the experimental group was much lower than that of the control group. CONCLUSION SIT decreases the expression of GM-CSF and IL-5 and reduces the inflammatory reaction in the tissue samples of recurrent nasal polyps.

Objective To determine relationships between daily activities measured as modified version of Pulmonary Functional status and Dyspnea Questionaire (PFSDQ-M) and functional capacity and symptoms experienced in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Convenience sample of 94 COPD patients with stable condition were assessed by interview with PFSDQ-M Chinese version and modified Medical Research council dyspnea scale (MMRC) respectively. Pulmonary function test (PFT) and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) were undergone on the same day or within one week as interview. PFSDQ-M has three subscales,i.e.,change experienced by patient with activities (CA),dyspnea with activities (DA) and fatigue with activities (FA). Results Scores of CA,DA and FA correlated to 6-minute walking distancer= (-0.37)- (-0.42),FEV_1 r=(-0.27)-(-0.32),FEV_1/FVC r= (-0.27)- (-0.32),dyspnea rated by MMRC (r=0.55-0.60) and BODE index (r=0.35-0.40),respectively (all P<0.01). dyspnea explained 26% of the variance in changes of activities. Conclusions Physical activities moderately changed in patients with stable COPD;Dyspnea is the best predictor of limitation of daily activities.

Sleep disorders are commonly occurred among patients with Parkinson's disease,such as difficulties in the initiation of sleep,fragmented sleep,sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness.The mechanism of sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease is not clear,which may be associated with the injury of brain stem,nuclei of median raphe,nuclei fasciculi solitarii,thalamencephalon and the changes of neurotransmitters as dopamine,hypocretin(orexin) and melatonin.This article gives an overview of the mechanism of sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease.

Objective To study the expressions of casein kinase 2α(Ck2α),β-catenin, survivin in ovarian cancer tissue and analyze the relationships between them, and to explore the clinical application value. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expressions of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in 8 cases of simple ovarian cysts tissue,8 cases of ovarian benign tumor tissue and 29 cases of ovarian cancer tissue;the correlations of the expressions of Ck2α,β-catenin,survivin in ovarian cancer tissue and their associations with the clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed.Results The expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in ovarian cancer tissue were significantly higher than those in simple ovarian cysts tissue and ovarian benign tumor tissue(P<0.05);the Ck2αexpression level in ovarian cancer tissue was positively corelated with the expression levels ofβ-catenin and survivin(r=0.438,r=0.479,P<0.05);the expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in low-medium differentiation group were significantly higher than those in high differentiation group (P<0.05);the expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin in stagesⅡandⅢ group were significantly higher than those in stage Ⅰ group(P<0.05).Conclusion The protein expression levels of Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin are increased in ovarian cancer tissue, and three are positive corelations between them;Ck2α,β-catenin and survivin may play an important role in the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer;the combined detection of them has important clinical value.
