Chinese Journal of Nursing 2010;45(1):37-38
Making dental impressions and models is a part of daily routine work for dental nurses in the orthodontic department in China. This paper analyzes the common problems encountered in the process of making dental impressions and models, and emphasizes the importance of quality control and supervision during this process. A method of combining real-time monitoring and periodic inspection based on nurse-doctor cooperation was put forward to ensure the quality of dental impressions and models. Firstly, the nurses should be well trained with the instruction of doctors before on duty; Secondly, the head nurse should be responsible for implementing real-time monitoring and periodic inspections to find the problems and take measures in time. Also, the doctors should check the dental impressions and models in time, especially for those models with special demands, and help the nurses to improve their skills constantly.

Objective To explore the relationship between collateral circulation and clinical manifestation after se-vere stenosis or occlusion of internal carotid artery. Methods According to the clinical manifestation, 78 cases of ICA ste-nosis or occlusion confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were divided into two groups:asymptomatic group (n=31) and symptomatic group (n=47). Collateral circulation pathway in circle of Willis and the mean flow velocity of the middle cerebral arteries (MVMCA) were measured by Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography (TCD). The correlation of the types of intracranial collateral circulation and clinical manifestation was analyzed. Results ① The collateral circulation opening rate of severe stenosis or occlusion of internal carotid artery in 78 cases of patients was 70.5%(55/78). The collat-eral patency rate (27/31, 87.1% of patients) was higher in asymptomatic group than in the symptomatic group (28/47, 59.6%of patients)(P<0.01).②Collateral patency of anterior communicating artery (ACoA)in asymptomatic group (24/31, 77.4%of patients) was higher than that in symptomatic group (20/47, 42.6%of patients) (P<0.01). Collateral patency of ophthalmic artery (OA) in symptomatic group (21/47, 44.7%of patients) was higher than that in asymptomatic group(6/31, 19.4%of patients)(P<0.05). The opening rate of ACoA was significantly higher than that of either the posterior commu-nicating artery (PCoA) or OA collateral circulation in asymptomatic group (P<0.05).③The mean flow velocity of the af- fected side middle cerebral arteries (MVMCA) in asymptomatic group (51.58±12.36cm/s) was significantly higher than that in symptomatic group (32.23±10.31cm/s) (P<0.01). Conclusion The clinical manifestation is closely related to arterial circle of Willis collateral circulation opening after severe stenosis or occlusion of internal carotid artery and collateral patency of anterior communicating artery is the major collateral supply vessel.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral erythromycin in the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,CBMdise,VIP,WartFang and CNKl were searched up to the year of 2008.Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of erythmmycin for feeding intolerance in preterm infants were included.According to the dosage (low-dose,3-15 mg/kg and high dose,>15 mg/kg)and gestational age(≤32 weeks vs>32 weeks),all infants were divided into several subgroups.Meta-analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan. Results Nine RCrs involving 542 premature infants were included.(1)In preventive studies,low-dose erythromycin could significantly decrease the duration of total parenteral nutrition compared with the high-dose erythmmycin (WMD=-2.99,95%CI:-3.99--1.98).(2)Intreatment studies,highdose erythromycin could significantly decrease the duration of total parenteral nutrition (WMD=-7.06.95%CI:-7.91--6.20,P<0.01)and hospital stay (WMD=-8.10,95%CI:-14.02--2.18,P=0.007)compared with the placebo when gestational age≤32 weeks. Erythromydn could decrease the incidence of iaundice(RR=0.36,95%CI:0.21-0.63,P=0.0003)which might be the effect of bigh-dose erytromycin. Conclusions Compared with placebo,oral erythromycin of different dosage might help to achieve full enteral feeding,shorten the duration of parenteral nutrition and hospital stay,and reduce the associated cholestasis jaundice of preterm infants with different gestational age respectively.

This study explored a novel systemic community-based model for detecting and managing people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used in this study. A quantitative questionnaire investigation was conducted in a sample of 1192 subjects which were randomly selected from two areas with high HIV prevalence, Xiangfan City and Shiyan City of Hubei Province, China. Twenty-two medical and health service staffs were interviewed by semi-structured questionnaire focusing on awareness, status, problems, and suggestions about community-based Voluntary Counseling and Testing and Provider Initiated Testing and Counseling (VCT/PITC). And they were organized to discuss about the aforementioned issues in Xiangfan City and Shiyan City, respectively. Our results showed that the accessibility and availability of the general VCT/PITC were bad. About 28.3% had known and only 4.9% had made use of VCT/PITC. Developing community-based VCT/PITC had some special advantages that can overcome some existing problems to remedy the aforementioned defects. We are led to conclude that, to maximize the availability and uptake rate of the VCT/PITC, we plan to detect PLWHA by developing the community-based VCT/PITC through 4 paths. Then we establish the community HIV health care center constituted of 8 sectors to provide an overall management. Thus, we can effectively detect and manage the PLWHA with a new systemic community-based model.
