Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2012;28(7):492-494
The paper covered the selection of clinical trial diseases in the clinical pathway experiment in the hospital in the recent two years.It also introduced such management measures as making clinical pathway texts,the rate of cases into clinical pathways,emphasis of variation management,and enhanced clinical pathway data analysis.A comparison between the groups before and after clinical pathway management,found that the clinical pathway can reduce the average days of stay and total patient costs by 3.4 days and 1519 yuan respectively.Both patients and hospitals benefit from clinical pathways.The paper also advocates continuous and dynamic management at various stages of clinical pathway management.
2.Postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder: prevalence, etiology and clinical characteristics
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(5):477-480
Objective To study on postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder at home and abroad,and to provide new idea of diagnosis,evaluation and treatment on postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder.Method A search using Medline,Embase,EBSCO,Cochrane Library,Web of Science (ISI),Pubmed databases and Google Scholar was carried out using the key words:obsessive compulsive disorder (and derivatives),perinatal,pregnancy,postnatal,postpartum,mothers (and derivatives),anxiety disorders and subtypes. These articles and their references were reviewed.Results Twenty-seven papers were incorporated,but no Chinese paper.The life prevalence of postpartum OCD was 2.3%-11.0%.The most common obsessions were aggressive,contamination and miscellaneous,and compulsion for washing/cleaning and checking.Cognitive behavioural therapy and SSRIs have been suggested as a fist-line treatment of postpartum OCD.Conclusion OCD is more prevalent in the postpartum period.The evidence that OCD in the postpartum period presents a distinctive clinical picture with specific symptomatology and course is more compelling.Collaborative,international,prospective studies that take into account the methodological and definitional issues raised in this review are necessary to provide clarification.

BACKGROUND: Neurasthenia is commonly believed attributing to the complex influence of psychological, social and biological factors.OBJECTIVE: To probe the correlation of neurasthenia with personality,life events and the positive rate of serum Epstein-Barr (EB) virus.DESIGN: Case-controlled observation and prospective paired analysis.SETTING: Mental Health Institute of Second Xiangya Hospital Affiliated to Central South University.PARTICIPANTS: From May to October 2000, patients with neurasthenia,selected from the Clinical Ward of Mental Health Institute of Second Xiangya Hospital Affiliated to Central South University for medical treatment,19 males and 11 females, with mean age of (27±8), the course of disease ranged from 0.5 to 20 years with the average of 4.0 years, enrolled in this study. According to 1:1 paired principle, 30 matched volenteers, their relatives, or students of Xiangya Hospital were randomly selected as controls.Two groups were matched in age, sex and education, patients with psychological and physical disease were excluded. All participants were given written informed consent.METHODS: The level of serum EB virus IgG and IgM of two groups were determined by using ELISA methods. Blood samples were colleted before and after treatment in experimental group, while blood samples were only collected once in control group. Patients in experimental group were given routine medication and integrative psychotherapy according to their state of illness, and Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) were filled in before and after treatment (including four dimensionalities: neuroticism, psychoticism, extroversion/introvision and lie, amongst which higher scores for extroversion/introvision dimensionality represented extroversion and lower dimensionality represented introvision; higher scores of neuroticism dimensionality suggested anxiety and worry. Higher scores for psychoticism suggested solitude and inadaptability to the outer environment), life events scale (including the total score for life events, positive events value and negative events value), and symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) (consists of 10 factors scored of 0-4, representing non-symptom to severer symptom) were used to assess the clinical symptom. EPQ and SCL-90 were adopted on patients at four months after treatment for self-comparison. EPQ and life events scale were taken on healthy controls, the scores compared with that of experimental group before treatment.for EPQ, the total scores for SCL-90 and positive rate of EB virus in patients with neurasthenia before and after treatment.RESULTS: Totally 27 patients were followed up at 4 months after treatment, and 3 cases lost due to long distance from hospital, thereby 27 cases in experimental group and 30 cases in control group were remained in the roticism in neurasthenia group was significantly higher than that of control group (57.59±10.79, 40.58±8.68, t=6.536, P < 0.01), scores of extroversion/introvision were obviously lower than that of control group (46.31 ±10.79, 53.50±11.28, t=3.203, P < 0.01). In neurasthenic group, scores for neuroticism was obviously decreased after treatment in contrast to before events scale: The total scores and negative scores in neurasthenia group was significantly higher than that of control group (19.73±17.25, 18.93 tal scores for SCL-90: The total scores for SCL-90 was obviously declined after treatment comparing to that of before treatment in neurasthenia of EB virus IgG and IgM: The positive rate in neurasthenia group was significantly higher than that of control group (76.67% vs 26.67% );and positive rate of serum EB virus were proved to be two important pathogenic factors for neurasthenic patients.CONCLUSION: Patients with neurasthenia possess susceptible personality, such as neuroticism and introvision, and commonly experienced negative life events before illness. Moreover the positive rate of EB virus in neurasthenic patients is higher, which might be associated with the higher glucocorticoidinduced EB virus activation under stress state.

[Objective]To evaluate the efficacy of nerve transfer for reconstructing the sensory function of the sole.[Method](1)Select saphenous nerve as donor nerve for the patients with the sensory loss beneath ankle level:dissect and cut off the saphenous nerve at the medialposterior aspect at upper-middle 1/3 of the leg and divide the gastrocnemius to expose the tibial nerve at the medialposterior aspect of the tibia, cut off partly nerve fibre of the tibial nerve and then end-to-end anastomose to the proximal end of the saphenous nerve. (2) Select sural nerve as donor nerve for the patients with sensory loss of sole only:dissect and cut off the sural nerve at the posterior aspect of the lateral malleolus, expose the tibial nerve at the posterior aspect of the medial malleolus and then cut off partly nerve fibre of the tibial nerve. The sural nerve was comdicted from the subcutaneous tunel at the anterior aspect of the Achilles's tendon to the posterior aspect of the medial malleolus and end-to-end anastomose to the partial nerve fibre of the tibial nerve. [Result]All the 9 cases were followed up from 1.5 to 2 years(mean 2 l months). The SCV(sensory conduction velocity) of the tibial nerve was ranged from 36.1 to 41.2 m/s, mean 38.3 m/s and the amplitude of wave (peak-to-peak amplitude) was a range from 7 to 15.3?V, mean 11.2 ?V by orthodromic electrophysiologic techniques. All 9 cases regained the sense of pain and touch of the sole.Three cases restored their sense of two point discrimination. All the patients expressed their satisfaction with their ability of walk and no muscles atrophy of the foot. The sensory loss in donor region was oberserved only lateral part of the foot beneath the lateral malleolus (sural nerve as donor nerve) and a small part of the anterior aspect of the ankle(saphenous nerve as donor nerve).[Conclusion]Nerve transfer can reconstruct the sensory function of the sole effectively.

Objective To investigate the dysfunction of gallbladder emptying in diabetic patients and its possible mechanism. Methods The postprandial gallbladder emptying function and the release of pancreatic polypeptide (PP), as well as the therapeutic effect of Cisapride on gallbladder contraction were observed in 50 diabetics without cholecystolithiasis and 15 normal controls. The distributions of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the wall of surgical removal gallbladders of 7 diabetic patients with cholecystolithiasis were also studied by histochemistry method. Results (1) The function of gallbladder emptying was distinctly lower in diabetic patients with autonomic neuropathy (AN) than that of the healthy subjects and diabetic patients without AN (NAN). (2) The postprandial release of PP in AN group was significantly lower than those in NAN group and healthy subjects. (3) The gallbladder emptying function was improved after receiving Cisapride in patients with AN. (4) Both the amount and activity of NOS and AChE in the wall of gallbladders of diabetic patients were lower than that of the non-diabetic subjects. Conclusion The dysfunction of gallbladder emptying in diabetic patients is partly due to the impaired autonomic nerve. The administration of Cisapride will improve the gallbladder emptying function of diabetic patients with AN.
