Objective To study on the effect of nttrsing intervention on coping with fatigue in patients with cervical spine fracture and high paraplegia.Methods 46 patients who suffered cervical spine fracture with paraplegia were divided into the control group and the intervention group with 23 patients in each group randomly.The control group received routine care in general,while the intervention group was given additional systematic nursing intervention by full-time nurses.The brief fatigue inventory(FSI),as fatigue assessment tools,was used to assess the fatigue of patients in the two groups before invention and 20 days after invention respectively.Results As a result,we found that the difference of fatigue between the two groups had no prominent significance before intervention,but after invention the difference had prominent significance.Conclusions The nursing intervention is very important for patients with cervical spine fracture and paraplegia and has significant advantages to alleviate or eliminate patients' fatigue and improve their quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of admi nistration of doxazosin mesylate in mild to moderate essential hypertension.METHODS In the trial,43 patients meeting the creteria of enlistment after 2-week wash-out periods are randomized into two groups in term of double- blind manner,22 cases for doxazosin mesylate group,21 cases for Terazosin hydroc hloride group.The patients will recept the scheduled medication intervention and blood pressure measure in order to assess the efficacy of antihypertension.Phys ical examnation, electrocardiogram,hematological and urinary test will be perfor med for monitoring the adverse events according to the trial protocol.RE SULTS:The rate of effectiveness of doxazosin mesylate for hypertension controling is 86.4%.No severe adverse events such as the cardiovascular disorder s appear in the 6-week trial except for the mild,toleratable headache in one pat ient.Doxazosin mesylate does not interfere with the hepatic and renal metabolism and impair their functions.CONCLUSIONS:Doxazosin mesylate adim inistration is effective and safe in mild to moderate essential hypertension.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture-drug balanced anesthesia in improving the outcomes following radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the pediatric patients.Methods:A total of 100 pediatric patients, aged 3-8 yr, weighing 9-24 kg, with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective radical correction of TOF with CPB, were divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table method: acupuncture-drug balanced anesthesia group (group ADBA) and conventional anesthesia group (group CA). In group ADBA, transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (disperse-dense wave, frequency 2/100 Hz, current intensity 6 mA, pulse width 0.2-0.6 ms) of Baihui (GV20) and bilateral acupoints of Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), and Ximen (PC4) acupoints was performed after induction of general anesthesia and maintained until the end of surgery.In group CA, the children received combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia, and electrodes were only applied on the same acupoints without electrical stimulation.Venous blood samples were collected for blood routine examination and for determination of the concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) at 30 min before surgery (T 1), 30 min after the start of surgery (T 2) and 1 h and 1, 2, 3 and 5 days after surgery (T 3-7). The length of hospital stay and development of postoperative major adverse events were recorded. Results:Compared with group CA, the plasma concentrations of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α at T 2-7 and white blood cell count, neutrophil count and neutrophil percentage at T 4-7 were significantly decreased, postoperative length of hospital stay was shortened ( P<0.05), and the incidence of acute lung injury was decreased obviously in group ADBA ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture-drug balanced anesthesia can improve the outcomes following radical correction of TOF under CPB to a certain extent, and the mechanism is related to inhibiting inflammatory responses in pediatric patients.
