OBJECTIVE:The effects of Astragulus injection on cardiac function in myocardial infarction convalescents were observed.METHODS:42 cases were randomly divided into two groups(therapeutic group and control group).21 cases in therapeutic group were treated with routine treatment and 21 cases in control group were treated with Astragulus injection on the basis of routine treatment for three weeks.The ejection fraction(EF),early diastolic peak velocity of blood flow(E),late diastolic peak velocity of blood flow(A) and A/E of all patients were measured with pulse ultrasonic Doppler cardiography before and after the treatment.RESULTS:After the treatment,the EF,E and A/E were improved (P

Objective To explore the effects of insulation measures on blood coagulation during laparotomy in the aged patients. Methods Sixty patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 30 cases in each group from September 2007 to August 2008. The experimental group received a series of insulation measures based on general perioperative nursing care, which was given to the control group. Patients' temperature, platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TV),fibrinogen (Fbg) were measured and these preand postoperative values together with blood loss during operation were compared between two groups. Results No significant change was seen in perioperative body temperature in the experimental group, the incidence rate of hypothermia was lower, the change in coagulation index was better than that of the control group. Conclusions These results suggested that mild hypothermia could influence aged patients' blood coagulation function and increase blood loss during laparotomy. Active insulation measures can maintain the stability of patients" temperature.

Objective This study was designed to validate the utility of a population pharmacokinetic model established for vancomycin in patients with severe neurosurgical disease . Methods The clinical data including patient gender , age , body weight ,serum creatinine and albumin were collected retrospectively from patients in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital to calculate the steady trough concentration of vancomycin using the previously established pharmacokinetic model .The predicted value was compared with the actual value .Results During the period from March 2013 to March 2014 ,53 blood samples with serum trough concentration of vancomycin were collected from 42 patients .The average trough concentration of vancomycin was 10 .9 mg/L (range from 1 .6 to 49 .1 mg/L) .The predicted trough level of vancomycin based on the population pharmacokinetic model was significantly correlated to the actual value(r=0 .857 ,P<0 .001) .The mean absolute percentage error was 0 .407 9 . The confidence interval was 9 .36‐14 .07 for the predicted values ,and 8 .92‐14 .32 for the actual values .Conclusions The pharmacokinetic model is valid and useful for planning intravenous dose of vancomycin in patients with severe neurosurgical disease .Large error (about 30% ) was observed in estimation of body weight due to coma .Reduced renal function following contrast agent and/or diuretic drug has an impact on the predicted results . The accuracy of prediction can be increased to nearly 70% after adjusting the covariates .

Objective: To investigate the current status of malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) strips application and malaria laboratory technicians' evaluation about them at primary healthcare provider level in Jiangsu Province. Methods: From November to December 2016, 878 medical institutions and 118 CDCs of city, county and township/community level in Jiangsu Province were selected as study samples using stratified random sampling method. Self-designed questionnaire was distributed to investigate the institution's malaria work task, RDT strips application and evaluation status in 2015. We also investigated the socio-demographic information and collected the RDT strips evaluation score from the malaria laboratory technicians selected from the institutions investigated (one technician from each institution). Rank sum test was performed to compare the RDT strips evaluation scores between medical institutions and CDCs, and among different medical institutions and CDCs. Results: In 2015, 405 cases of malaria were reported, 362 200 person-time of malaria blood testing task was conducted, and 100 000 RDT strips were procured and provided for healthcare providers in Jiangsu province for free. Of the 996 healthcare institutions investigated, 628 used RDT strips in the year 2015 and the median (P₂₅, P₇₅) of RDT strips volume used in these institutions was 10 (2, 25). The volume of RDT strips used in CDCs (15 (5, 52)) was significantly higher than that in medical institutions (10 (2, 25), (Z=3.42, P=0.001)). The investigated CDCs gave higher score on RDT strips' testing time per operation (10 (8.5, 10)) than medical institutions (9(8, 10), (Z=-2.20, P=0.028)). The employers of 614 investigated malaria laboratory technicians used RDT strips in 2015. The median of the scores given by CDC malaria laboratory technicians for RDT strips in terms of testing time per operation, testing operation and results judgement difficulties were 10 (9, 10), 10 (9, 10) and 10 (9, 10), respectively, which were significantly higher than those from technicians of medical institutions (9 (8, 10), 9 (8, 10), 9 (8, 10), (Z values were -2.55, -2.97 and -2.96, respectively; P values were all less than 0.05)). Conclusion RDT strips had been widely performed in health institutions in Jiangsu Province. The amount of RDT strips used in CDCs was significantly higher than that in medical institutions. Primary-level institutions and malaria laboratory technicians generally recognized RDT strips' advantage for application in terms of testing time and operational procedure. CDCs and malaria laboratory technicians from them gave higher regards on RDT strips in terms of testing time per operation, testing operation and results judgement difficulties compared with that of medical institutions.
