Objective: To establish an animal model for research of maxillary protraction. Methods: 16 pubertal rabbits were assigned randomly to 2 groups. Titanium bone markers were fixed on each side of mucogingival junction, 1 cm above incisor teeth. The experimental group underwent maxillary protraction by self-made distraction devices. A down and forward elastic force (about 3.43 N) was exerted for 30 days. Results: In 30 d, the distance of premaxilla movement in the experimental group was 1.89 mm averagely, while that in the control group was only 0.11 mm. Cephalometric analysis indicated that the maxilla of rabbits was moved forward obviously by appliance in the experimental group, and maxilla was not rotated. There was no obvious difference between the control and the experimental groups. Conclusion: Animal model used in this experiment for maxillary protraction is reliable. The appliance can move the rabbits maxilla forward obviously during the maxillary protraction.

Objective:Deeper studies have been rarely reported on the characteristics and influencing factors of the psychological health of army nurses and on the measures for raising their ability of military stress management. To gain an insight into the psychological state of army nurses in the present military streamlining and to explore its countermeasures. Methods:We investigated the psychological state of 123 army nurses from 6 military hospitals by psychometrical methods and psychological interviews,and analyzed the results. Results:Of the total number of subjects,70.73% scored

OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial infection(NI) in patients with hematological malignancies(HM),and provide the bases for making the controlling measures of NI.METHODS Using the targeted monitoring to study NI in patients with HM,and recording 14 factors such as the time of hospitalization,chemotherapy,count of leukocyte and absolute neutrophil count(ANC) and so on.The data were analyzed with unifactorial ?2 test and multifactorial Logistic-regression analysis.RESULTS Among 242 patients with HM the prevalence of NI was 35.5%(86/242) and the prevalence of NI time-cases was 52.9%(128/242).Among 86 patients of NI there were 27 patients occurred multiple sites NI(31.4%).The main infection sites were upper respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract,lower respiratory tract,oral cavity and blood.66.7% Of NI happened in the period of chemotherapy and 7 days after chemotherapy.The time of hospitalization and ANC were independent risk factors of NI in patients with HM.CONCLUSIONS The patients with HM are susceptible population of NI,and NI often occurs in the period of chemotherapy and 7 days after chemotherapy.So medical staff should strengthen monitoring,and shorten the time of patient hospitalization and of recovery of ANC to reduce the prevalence of NI efficiently.

OBJECTIVE By investigating the incidence of nosocomial infection with objective monitoring method and prospective overall monitoring method, to analyze the advantage and significance between two methods. METHODS Using the objective monitoring method to study the incidence of nosocomial infection of patients after neurosurgical operation from May to December in 2003 and using the prospective overall monitoring method to study the incidence of nosocomial infection of patients after neurosurgical operation from May to December in 2002. All data were analyzed with Stata 7.0 soft. RESULTS There were 100 cases occurring nosocomial infection in 267 neurosurgical operation patients. The patient incidence of nosocomial infection was 37.5% and the rate of nosocomial infection cases was 50.9% with objective monitoring method, that was significant higher than those data coming from May to December in 2002 with 248 cases under prospective overall monitoring method, with which the patient incidence of nosocomial infection and the rate of nosocomial infection cases were 20.2%(50 cases ) and 21.4%(53 cases), respectively . Statistically significant difference was found (P
