3.Experience on Purchase of Medical Equipment in Grass Root Hospitals
Chinese Medical Equipment Journal 1989;0(03):-
Advanced hospitals and high-level hospitals are different from grass-root hospitals,since they not only treat difficult diseases but also have the obligation of scientific studies and teaching.Grass-root hospitals mainly focus on treating common diseases,and only conduct a small amount of teaching,thus resulting in the difference between grass-root hospitals and large-scale hospitals in the aspect of purchasing medical equipment.Because the money for grass-root hospitals may only be used as designated and some even comes from loan or collecting,we have to pinch pennies and make the best use of everything so as to recover the cost rapidly and bring the equipment into full play.

Recently,the relationship between psoriasis and coronary heart disease(CHD)have been casting close attention.It has been demonstrated that the prevalence of CHD in patients with psoriasis is more than one time higher than that of healthy people. Meanwhile,the prevalences of hypertension,diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoidemia and smoking in patients with psoriasis are higher than those of normal people,and some drugs for treatment of psoriasis may induce CHD.Therefore,the relationship between psoriasis and CHD is still unclear.In this paper,two cases of psoriasis complicated with CHD are reported,and the relationship between psoriasis and CHD is explored.

Objective To determine the long-term outcomes of renal interventional therapy in patients with renal artery stenosis. Methods One hundred thirty-four consecutive patients reveived renal stenting in our hospital. The changes of BP and serum creatitine were measured 24 hours after the procedure and during the first and second year of follow-up. Results All procedures were performed successfully. The mean serum creatitine level increased [(109.8?24.6) ?mol/L vs (99.4?27.8 baseline level) ?mol/L] and the glomerular filtration rate decreased [(57.6?19.3)mL/min vs (68.5?18.9) mL/min] significantly after the procedure. However during the first and second year of follow-up, the serum creatitine level returned to the pre-procedure level. Sixty-four patients attained benefit of BP improvement at about 6 months after renal artery stenting. The mean systolic pressure 6 months after the procedure was (148.6?22.6) mm?Hg (1 mm?Hg=0.133 kPa), which was significantly lower than the baseline level. During the first and second year of follow-up, there were 56 patients (50.6%) and 50 patients (49.6%) achieved BP improvement from renal stenting respectively. Conclusion Renal stenting is efficient and has satisfactory long-term outcomes in treating renal artery stenosis.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with severe traumatic craniocerebral injury treated by Lund program combined with Angong Niuhuang pill. Methods A prospective study was conducted. Forty-nine patients with severe traumatic craniocerebral injury were divided into two groups:combined treatment group (25 cases) and control group (24 cases). All the patients in the two groups received conventional therapy. Additionally, the combined treatment group was treated by the Lund program combined with Angong Niuhuang pill, the patients after admission into the intensive care unit (ICU), indwelling of gastric tube was immediately given (the tube inserted and retained through mouth in cases with cranial base bone fracture), one pill of Angong Niuhuang was fed nasally twice a day for consecutive 15 days. Before and after treatment, the intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, the mean flow velocity of middle cerebral artery (MCA), and the incidence of complication, clinical efficacy and prognosis in the two groups were observed. Results There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of ICP, CPP, GCS score and the average flow velocity of MCA before treatment and the first day after treatment between the two groups. Beginning from 3 days after treatment, the degrees of improvement in the above indexes in the combination treatment group became much better than those in the control group [ICP (mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):16.78±4.50 vs. 18.80±5.67, CPP (mmHg):71.35±1.63 vs. 58.11±1.47, GCS score:9.53±0.38 vs. 8.23±0.44, the mean blood flow velocity (cm/s):152.23±3.33 vs. 178.86±5.23, all P<0.05]. The incidences of complications such as hyperpyrexia [8.0%(2/25) vs. 41.7%(10/24)], hyperspasmia [12.0%(3/25) vs. 45.8%(11/24)] and cerebral hernia [8.0%(2/25) vs. 33.3%(8/24)] in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The rates of renal failure, electrolyte imbalance and pulmonary infection in combined treatment group were also lower than those in the control group, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The rate of good therapeutic effect in combination treatment group was obviously higher than that of the control group [72.0% (18/25) vs. 33.3% (8/24), P < 0.05], while the mortality was markedly lowered [8.0% (2/25) vs. 33.3% (8/24), P < 0.05]. Conclusions The combination of Lund program and Angong Niuhuang pills for treatment of patients with severe traumatic craniocerebral injury can reduce the degree of increase of ICP at early stage, ameliorate cerebral edema and its development, elevate CPP and improve cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. In the aspects of controlling hyperpyrexia, decreasing limbs twitches and the incidence of hernia, elevating the quality of patients' life, reducing mortality and improving prognosis, the therapy has relatively good therapeutic effects.
