Objective To investigate the earlier diagnostic methods and operative procedures of gastric remnant cancer. Methods Clinicopathologic data of 19 cases of gastric remnant cancer were retrospectively analysed,and the diagnostic value of the gastroscopy and barium meal was compared.Influencing the prognosis of gastric remnant cancer treated by different operations according to the situation seen during operation were observed. Results The diagnostic rate of gastroscopy and barium meal was 78.9% and 47.4%, respectively.All the 5 cases who underwent radical remnant gastrectomy sarvived≥3 years postoperatively.Two of the 3 cases who underwent palliative remnant gastrectomy survived 2 years and 1 alived 1.5 years postoperatively. In 6 cases of gastrojejunostomy, 4 cases died within half year, 2 cases died 12.5 and 14 months postoperatively. Conclusions The diagnostic value of gastroscopy takes advantage over barium meal examination. The patients who treated by radical remnant gastrectomy have better prognosis.

AIM: To compare pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of telmisartan capsule (T) and telmisartan tablet(R). METHODS: 20 male healthy Chinese volunteers were enrolled in a randomized two-way crossover designs with a single-oral dose study(80 mg once per day for each preparation). The plasma telmisatan concentration was determined by HPLC- fluorescence detector. Plasma levels of telmisatan were followed up to 96 h. Area under the telmisartan concentration time curve was calculated by variance analysis and the bioequivalent was determined by two one-side t-test. RESULTS: A two-compartment model was adopted in telmisartan plasma concentration-time data analysis. The pharmacokinetic parameters of T and R in single-dose study including Cmax (μg·L-1), Tmax (h), T1/2β (h), MRT(h), AUC0-92(μg·h·L-1) were as following: 456±253 and 760±314, 1.61±0.71 and 1.08±0.36, 22.39±6.29 and 21.08±5.24, 27.02±6.23 and 24.27±5.79, 3454±1050 and 3635±1300, respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed between the parameter values of the two products in Cmax and Tmax; whereas there was no statistically significant difference between AUC0-∞μg·h·L-1 (3601±1095 and 3767±1399). The relative bioavailability for T was 97.28%±12.74%. CONCLUSION: The test telmisartan capsule is bioequivalent to the reference tablet.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for perioperative acute cerebral vascular accident (PACVA) and put forward the corresponding preventive measures.Methods The clinical data of elderly patients in our hospital who suffered from PACVA in recent 5 years were retrospectively studied.The correlation between risk factors and the occurrence of PACVA was analyzed.Results One hundred and fifty cases were enrolled in the study.Seventy eight cases of them suffered from PACVA with the average age of 70 years ranging from 60 to 98 years.Fifty six cases(71.8%)were found PACVA in one week after operation.Multiple regression analysis showed that hypertension, history of cerebrovascular disease, unstable blood pressure and obesity were independent risk factors for PACVA.The newly diagnosed perioperative atrial fibrillation and carotid atheroselerosis were the high risk factors for PACVA.Conclusions PACVA is one of the common perioperative complications.Necessary check, monitor and treat measures should be taken in the perioperative period, especially for patients with risk factors.

Objective To understand the prevalence and the nursing status of incontinence and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD),analyze the risk factors of the occurrence of IAD,and to provide effective measures for the prevention and management of IAD.Methods Using the questionnaire survey, 1 318 hospitalized patients in 2 grade three hospitals of Suzhou were investigated,and then the results were analyzed.Results The prevalence of incontinence was 10.70％(141/1 318),among the prevalence of urinary incontinence was 4.63％(61/1 318),fecal incontinence was 4.32％(57/1 318);with 24.11％(34/141) of incontinent patients having IAD;disposable pad and briefs were the most common containment devices,only 36.17％ (51/141) of the incontinent inpatients using skin protectant after perineal skin clean.Single factor analysis revealed that IAD was related with wards, types of incontinence, character of stools, frequency of feces, antibiotics, modes of nutrition support, Braden scores, level of albumin and prealbumin.Unconditional Logistic regression indicated that risk factors of IAD included the level of serum albumin (OR=0.769, P＜ 0.05), Braden scores(OR=0.335, P＜ 0.05) and frequency of feces(OR=11.076, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Incontinence and IAD are common in hospitalized patients,low serum albumin, low Braden scores and high frequency of feces are the risk factors of IAD.The clinical nurses have not paied enough attention on the prevention of IAD, lacked relevant knowledge and skin care regimen.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between the concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and adiponectin (ADP) and postoperative delirium (POD) in perioperative serum of elderly patients undergoing lobectomy. Methods Seventy-three elderly patients undergoing lobectomy under general anesthesia, 38 males and 35 females, aged 65-80 years, BMI ＜ 24 kg/m2, falling into ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were selected in some suitable period. All patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group according to the Chinese Version of Consciousness Assessment Scale at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after operation, and their blood samples were collected 5 minutes before induction of anesthesia (T0), at the time of tracheal extubation (T1) and at postoperative 24 hours (T2), 48 hours (T3), and 72 hours (T4) to determine the concentrations of MMP-9 and ADP in their serums. Results POD occurred in 19 patients, with the incidence rate of 17.8％. The concentrations of MMP-9 at T1-T4 were significantly higher than those before lobectomy in serums in POD group, while the concentrations of ADP in serums were significantly lower than those before lobectomy (P ＜ 0.05). The concentrations of MMP-9 in serums at T1 were significantly higher than those before lobectomy in non-POD group, while the concentrations of ADP in serums were significantly lower than those before lobectomy (P ＜ 0.05). In the comparison between the two groups, the concentrations of MMP-9 in POD group at T1-T4 were significantly higher than those in non-POD group, while the concentrations of ADP in POD group were significantly lower than those in non-POD group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The serum level of MMP-9 is increased and ADP is decreased in perioperative, wich maybe involved in the pathophysiological process of POD in elderly patients undergoing lobectomy.
