Objective To observe the characteristic injuries on motor-cyclists for the forensic indentifi-cation in cases of traffic accident. Methods Investigate retrospectively the injuries of motor-cyclists and passengers in 408 traffic accident cases occurred during 2000 to 2002 in Beijing area. Results There were characteristic injuries at motor-cyclist's abdomen, perineum, inner side of thighs, chest, face, neck, front of tibia. They reflect contours of certain components of motor-cycle, but the injuries of passengers can not reflect the components of motor-cycle. Conclusion The characteristic injuries caused by certain components of motor-cycle might be useful for differential diagnosis the motor-cyclists and the passengers in cases of traffic accident.

ObjectiveTo determine the rehabilitation awareness and needs in patients with disability due to leprosy.Methods4353 patients in 23 fields of 7 provinces were surveyed by interview and questionnaire.Results80% of patients knew general knowledge of disability prevention and rehabilitation, and believed that the self-care could prevent disability; but they seldom carried out the daily self-care practice.90% of patients lacked awareness in early manifestation of leprosy, treatment of the disease, basic cause of disability, and the way to prevent such as plantar ulcers. For needs of rehabilitation education, teaching by medical staff(86%), booklet(81%), video tape(70%) and recording(52%) had been selected.ConclusionThe awareness of rehabilitation and the practice must be combined together. Rehabilitation education should be carried out in advance systemically through different ways.

Objective To investigate the nursing aides' working experience of private pension institutions,and provide advances of decision-making on targeted pension institution development strategy.Methods 12 nursing aides for the aged were surveyed by using deep half-structural interviews and were recorded,noted during the whole interviews.Data were analyzed by coding step by step.Results The primary feelings of the participants including vocational responsibility was gradually enhanced in the interaction with the elderly,multiple service consciousness was built up during the process of meeting diverse demands of the elderly,standardized training demands formed from servicing in pension institutions.Conclusion Understanding and care are the key factors for the pension caregivers whose multiple service ability should be ascended,and their training should be further standardized.

Objective To describe the status of publication papers on nursing of 47 grade three and first-class hospitals in Henan province from the year of 1991 to 2014 and provide valuable reference basis for the relevant departments to make policy. Methods The methods of literature metrology was used to analyze the amount, journals, key words distribution and other information of the 12 422 articles with the keyword 'nursing', which were included by China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang data, VIP database. Results The number of published articles of the investigated units was in the upward trend on the whole. But the number of annual published articles on the core periodicals was significantly lower than the total. The articles were mainly distributed on 3 nursing core journals, 5 non-nursing journals of Henan province, which were mostly for regional academic exchanges. 11 key words of nursing articles of Henan were the same as the nation but different for the sequence. Conclusions The grade three and first-class hospitals in Henan are in urgent need of the construction of systematic and standardized scientific research training system. The channel for the exchange of nursing academic needs to be widen. Clinical nursing research should be paid more attention to the characteristic field.

Objective To understand the true feelings of the undergraduate nursing students after taking the elective course of the general situation of foreign nursing and provide reference for nursing higher education reform further.Methods The phenomenological qualitative research method was used and face to face in-depth interview was taken on 10 sophomore and 6 junior undergraduates about their feelings after taking the course of the general situation of foreign nursing.The interview data were sorted, analyzed and refined.Results The general situation of foreign nursing had aroused the yearning of nursing students on multinational nursing, deepen the cognition of nursing students on nursing specialty and also promoted the nursing students' perception of humanistic spirit.Conclusions The narrative educational which the teachers used in this course improves the professional cognition of nursing students.Situational case analysis is helpful to cultivate cultural sensitivity of students.The assessment method, personal reflection report & group cooperation, helps strengthen nursing students to rethink their own professional faith.

Objective Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are widely used as a replacement of portal films for patient position verification, but the image quality is not always optimal. Because of very low density resolution, the portal imaging is difficult to be used clinically. In this study, several transforming models and the optimization exposure or acquisition conditions were studied for optimization portal imaging, which based on DicomRT platform built by ourselves. Methods 6 MV X-ray from Varian 21EX linac was used to generate portal images by Portal Vision aSiS00 amorphous silicon detector image acquisition system. The density resolution study was based on the number of the lines which could be seen in the image of a special Las Vegas image quality test board. The optimization calculating models were focused on equalization after stretch transforming discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Butterworth high pass filters. The calculation was performed in Matlab language. Results The optimal numbers of MU, average frames and reset number were 4 - 5,3 - 4 and 2 - 3, respectively. The density resolution of optimized imaging via equalization after stretch transforming, DWT and Butterworth high pass filter transforming was markedly improved. The bone structure could be definitely distinguished. The number of lines distinguished in Las Vegas image via equalization after stretch transforming, DWT and Betterworth high pass filter transforming was 3, 4 and 5, respectivly. Conclusions The proposed transforming systems, including DWT edge detection and Butterworth high pass filter transform, are suitable for improving density resolving power of MV X-ray portal image.

Objective To investigate the psychological status of leprosy people with disability and their expectation towards surgical outcomes before surgical operation.Methods 937 cases from nine provinces，which were covered by the China National Commonweal funded surgical camps, were surveyed by a structure questionnaire designed by the Department of Leprosy Control and Rehabilitation, Institute of Dermatology, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS).Results Reasons for the patients to refuse the surgical operation included concerns in medical cost (79.19%), unawareness of the free medical surgery program (64.78%), scaring of surgery (48.88%), unwilling to expose their disabilities (46.43%), unwilling to expose their history of leprosy (45.57%), despairing with disability (43.86%), having no ideas on surgical Results (37.46%), believing that disability is an inevitable outcome of the disease (32.98%), and rejecting the operation becasue of age(30.63%). More than 90% of PALs who are willing to accept surgery expected that surgery can improve their physical ability and they may contribute more to their family or become less independent after surgery; however, they thought there was little opportunity to return to work after surgery.Conclusion It is helpful and necessary to understand the psychological status of the leprosy people with disability before surgery.

Objective To observe the effect of stump ulcer repairing in people affected by leprosy (PALs). Methods Bone shortening and osteophyte removal were performed in 73 PALs amputees with stump ulcers. Results All the incisions were healed without any delay. During a follow-up period of 3～12 years, no relapse or new ulcers were found in 70 PALs. 3 PALs developed new ulcers, which were healed after debridement, resting, and prosthesis repairing. Conclusion Surgical revision of the bone in amputation stump can change the local distribution of pressure. Postoperative self-care teaching to the PALs and their sustaining daily self-care will finally prevent them from stump ulcer recurring.

Objective To understand the status of basic compensation for nurses′night-shift and nursing age allowance, and provide reference basis for government to make policy. Methods A total of 956 nurses of 22 hospitals from 18 cities in Henan were investigated and analyzed by the Nurse Night-shift Compensation Status Questionnaire. Results The human resources allocation of 71.9% (687/956) respondents was not up to standard. The nurses were under labor intensity. 60.06%(574/956) nurses needed to go to the night-shift for 2-3 times every week. 86.21%(824/956) nurses thought the intensity of labor was mild light or relatively high. The swing night shift compensation of 16.1% (153/956) nurses was none. The graveyard shift compensation of 52.1%(498/956) nurses was 1 to 10 yuan. 90.49%(865/956) nurses thought inked the compensation for night shift was unreasonable. 26.31% (252/956) nurses didn′t receive any payment for the night shift. Conclusions The managers in hospital should attach importance to the legitimate rights and interests of the nurses, optimize the management of human resources and improve the status of nurse shift rotation. They also need to perfect the management of nursing project cost to reflect the nurse work value.
