Objective:To explore the optimal postpartum nursing intervention method of elderly second-birth parturient based on the best evidence and evaluate its effect so as to improve the quality of clinical nursing.Methods:Based on the best evidence obtained from the previous study, the optimal nursing examination index of the elderly second parturient was established, and the evidence of best practice was obtained by using the evidence-based nursing method, and the 2017 revised version (the third edition of) Johns Hopkins evidence-based nursing practice model) was used to guide nurses to apply the evidence to clinical practice. During the period from March to May 2019, the baseline review was completed, including 82 pregnant women and 43 nurses. The evidence was incorporated into clinical practice in June 2019. From July to October 2019, the same indicators and inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to evaluate the effectiveness of evidence application in 43 nurses (including midwives) and 85 elderly second-child parturients in obstetric wards (including baby-friendly areas). The anxiety, depression, maternal satisfaction and nurses' correct implementation rate of the best evidence were compared before and after the application of evidence.Results:After the use of evidence-based intervention, the implementation rate of nurses was above 80%. The anxiety score of parturient decreased from 55.29±10.11 to 41.74±10.35, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 8.55, P<0.001), and the depression score decreased from 57.77 ±8.32 to 47.86 ±9.33, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 7.23, P<0.001). Maternal satisfaction increased from 92.68% (76/82) to 98.82% (84/85), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 3.92, P< 0.05). Conclusion:The result of practice shows that through evidence-based nursing intervention, we can further standardize the postpartum optimal nursing paradigm of elderly second-child parturients in China. Reduce postpartum anxiety and depression and improve maternal satisfaction. And quality review still needs to be continuously promoted and implemented in clinical practice in order to continuously improve the quality of nursing and ensure sustainability.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with pituitary thyrotropin-secreting adenoma and evaluate the effect of preoperative short-acting octreotide treatment on hyperthyroidism.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 40 patients with pituitary thyrotropin adenoma diagnosed in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2008 to January 2018. The general data, laboratory examinations and imaging findings were reviewed and analyzed. The clinical effect of preoperative octreotide on hyperthyroidism was evaluated.Results:The age of onset year of the 40 patients (male: female = 24∶16) was (30.5±5.1) years. Among them, 35 patients (87.5%) were with macroadenoma. The most common symptoms were thyroid hypermetabolism syndrome, followed by headache, dizziness, visual field damage and hypogonadism. The thyroid function of 30 patients (75%) recovered to normal within 3-5 days after the octreotide treatment. The total effective rate of the octreotide was 90.0%. The level of free thyroxine (FT 4) before treatment in patients with more than 10 times of effective cumulative dose was significantly higher than that in patients with less than 10 doses. Conclusions:Thyroid hypermetabolism syndrome and pituitary occupying effect are the most common clinical manifestations of thyrotropin-secreting adenoma. Preoperative octreotide treatment can effectively control hyperthyroidism. The level of FT 4 is a crucial factor affecting the efficacy of octreotide.

Sensory, chemical, microbiological quality and bacterial flora on fresh Pseudosciaena crocea were qualitatively and quantitatively investigated. The results showed that total viable counts and total volatile basic nitrogen reached 5. 51?0. 25Log10cfu/g, 7. 84?2. 25mg/100g respectively. 279 strains of bacteria were isolated and 84.2% of them were gram negative bacteria, a small percentages of gram positive bacteria were detected (6. 1% ) . The predominant bacterial floras were composed of Enterobacteriaceae (14. 7% ), Aeromonas spp. (12. 5% ), Acinetobacter spp. (11. 5% ) and Moraxella spp. (11. 1% ) . A few percent of Pseudomonas spp. , Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and other bacteria were also found. The high number of Enterobacteriaceae showed that bacterial contamination on Pseudosciaena crocea, was mainly from cultural water field and polluted seriously by non-borne bacteria, and it should be paid attention to.
