Objective To explore application of pulse indicator continuous cardiac output(PICCO)in the treatment of septic shock during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods 34 patients with septic shock who underwent CRRT were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group.Heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP)and central venous pressure (CVP) were monitored in the control group.The experimental group were monitored by PICCO technology in addition to conventional monitoring,the hemodynamics parameters were collected such as end-diastolic volume index (GEDI),extravascular lung water index(EVLWI),and systemic vascular resistance index(SVRI),etc.Dehydration volume and supplementary volume were controlled by means of two group's hemodynamics parameters.The change of Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation-Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ),lactate (Lac),saturation of central venous oxygen(SevO2) and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) were observed.Results After treatment of 72h,the decrease of APACHE Ⅱ and lactate in the experimental group was higher than those in the control group,the increase of ScvO2 in the experimental group was higher than those in the control group,the increase of PaO2/FiO2 in the experimental group was evidently higher than those in the control group.Conclusions During PICCO monitoring technique to guide CRRT therapy in patients with septic shock,the volume status of patients can be accurately controlled,organizational cycle can be improved,oxygenation of lung can be obviously improved,which contributes to treatment of septic shock.
2.Periodontal health condition among 12-15 years old adolescents in Shenzhen
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(5):780-784
Objective:
This epidemiology survey is intended to assess the periodontal health conditions of 12 to 15-year-old adolescents and the associated factors in Shenzhen.
Methods:
The study utilized a multistage stratified cluster method and recruited 5 509 middle school students aged 12 to 15. Gingival bleeding and calculus were conducted and a self-reported questionnaire was administered. Additional periodontal pocket depth and attachment loss examination were performed in the 15-year-age group. Periodontal conditions and the associated factors were analyzed by t-test, Chi-square method and Logistic regression.
Results:
The prevalence of gingival bleeding and calculus among adolescents was 43.95% and 44.25%, and the prevalence of periodontal pockets ≤3 mm was 0.57%. No periodontal pockets ≥6 mm or attachment loss ≥4 mm were detected. Gender, family income and frequency of teeth brushing were significantly associated with calculus detection (P<0.05). The use of fluoride had an significant effect on gingival bleeding detection and calculus detection (χ 2=9.70,6.16,P<0.05).
Conclusion
The periodontal health condition among 12-15 years old adolescents in Shenzhen is generally better than the national level. Adolescents living in high-economic districts and females had better periodontal health condition. The government can promote health education in schools and popularize the use of fluoride to improve the periodontal health condition among adolescents.
