Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2016;18(4):301-305
Objective To investigate the associations between levels of perioperative biochemical markers of the liver,kidney,lung and heart and death within 3 months postoperatively in the senile patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the 153 senile patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated at Nanfang Hospital from January 2010 to January 2012.They were 71 men and 82 women,with an average age of 83.1 years.There were 70 stable and 83 unstable fractures.At preoperation (within 24 h after admission),and 24 h,25 to 48 h and 72 h postoperation,all the patients had blood examinations of biochemical markers of the liver [alanine aminotransaminase (ALT)],kidney (creatinine and urea nitrogen),lung (PaO2) and heart [brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)].The levels of biochemical markers at all time points and clinical data were compared between the living patients and those who died within 3 months postoperatively.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the independent risk factors for mortality within 3 months postoperatively.Results Of the 153 patients,32 (20.9%) died within 3 months postoperatively,including 10 men and 22 women.In the dead and surviving patients,there were respectively 25 and 17 cases who were rated as level Ⅲ or Ⅳ by ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists).The levels of ALT,creatinine,urea nitrogen,and BNP increased to different extents while the level of PaO2 decreased postoperatively in both the dead and surviving patients.The differences between the dead and surviving patients were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed poor preoperative physical condition (ASA level Ⅲ or Ⅳ),increased creatinine level at 25 to 48 h postoperation,decreased PaO2 at 72 h postoperation,and increased BNP level at 24 h postoperation were independent risk factors for early mortality in senile patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Conclusions Femoral intertrochanteric fracture in senile patients may lead to changes in the liver,kidney,lung and heart.Prompt and dynamic monitoring of the levels of PaO2,creatinine and BNP may provide timely prediction of the poor prognosis.

Objective To examine the efficacy and adverse reactions of bortezomib-based chemotherapy in treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).Methods Twenty-eight patients with multiple myeloma received a joint chemotherapy containing bortezomib.The efficacy was determined according to EBMT criteria.Results 28 patients received the chemotherapy,20 patients were newly diagnosed and 8 patients were relapsed or refractory.25 patients can be evaluateed efficacy.The total response rate was 100 % (25/25),consisting of 5 patients with complete response (CR),10 patients with almost complete remission (nCR),10 patients with partial remission (PR).The main side effects include peripheral neuropathy,thrombocytopenia,gastrointestinal disorders and viral infections.These side effects were improved by symptomatic treatment and generally did not affect the treatment.Conclusion For the newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma cases,bortezomib-based chemotherapy is a safe and effective therapeutic drug with rapid onset,high treatment response rate,and adverse reaction can be tolerated.
4. Application of chitosan nanoparticles for drug delivery: Research advances
Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2013;40(1):90-94
Nanoparticles have been attracting a ot of attention n the drug delivery system due to the versatilities n targeting tissues, accessing deep molecular targets and controlling drug release, etc. As a natural cationic polymer, chitosan and ts derivatives have been widely used as drug carriers due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility and ow toxicity. This paper briefly reviews the properties of chitosan and the preparation of chitosan nanoparticles, with the emphasis on the application of chitosan nanoparticles n the delivery of the protein drug, anticancer drug, nonvirogene transmit and ocular drugs.

Objective To identify the types of pulmonary complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy,and to discuss the prevention and management of these complications.Methods Clinical data of 165 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Pulmonary complications were identified,therapeutic effects were observed.Results The incidence rate of pulmonary complications was 19.4% ( 32/165),case-fatality rate was 6.25% (2/32),two patients died from pneumonia,respiratory failure and ARDS.Complications mainly included pneumonia 13.9% (23/165),pleural effusion 4.2% (7/165),atelectasis 3.6% (6/165),pneumothorax 1.8% ( 3/165 ),respiratory failure 2.4% (4/165) and ARDS 1.2% (2/165).Conclusion Pulmonary complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy are not rare,especially for pulmonary infection and most are hospital acquired pneumonia.To understand rules and particularity of respiratory physiopathological changes after pancreaticoduodenectomy is very important for patients to safely pass over the perioperative period.

One hundred and seventy-two strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from Taxus mairei,Cephalotaxus fortunei and Torreya grandis cv.merrillia.The result of the antifungal assay shows that ninety strains of the fungi have antagonism against one or more botanical pathogenic fungi,such as Neurospora sp.,Trichoderma sp.,Fusarium sp.etc.The percentage of antifungal strains to tested strains are as follows:40% Cephalotaxus fortunei,54.2% Taxus mairei,57.1% Torreya grandis cv.merrillia.Thirty-five strains have high antifungal activities,and their inhibition zone diameter is at least 15mm.The active endophytic fungi were identified as 18 genera,most of which belong to Paecilomyces and Fusarium etc.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of ICU delirium in critically ill patients. Methods A total of 1 74 critically ill patients in ICU who were older than 18 yrs and stayed in ICU exceeding 24 hs from January 201 5 to June 201 5 were enrolled.Patients were divided into delirium group and non delirium group.Delirium was assessed twice daily with the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU)during the first 7 days.The factors such as history of alcoholism and other 12 factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify those risk factors associated with delirium.Results With 22 cases of delirium in 1 74 patients,the in-cidence of delirium was 12.64% (delirium group).Variables associated with delirium were coronary heart history,operation,tracheal intubation,clinical use of mechanical ventilation,hypoxemia and Benzodiazepine.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that coronary heart disease (OR 3.932,95%CI 1.225-12.61 7),surgery(OR 9.691,95%CI 2.103-44.657),hypoxemia(OR 6.595, 95%CI 1.377-31.585),Benzodiazepine use (OR 7.620,95%CI 1.713-33.899)was independent risk factors of delirium in critically ill patients (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Coronary heart disease,surgery,hypoxemia and Benzodiazepine are independent risk factors of ICU delirium in criti-cally ill patients.Early screening and prevention of delirium should be given to reduce the occurrence of delirium for patients in ICU.

Objective To explore the effects of Six-Step standardized communication procedure in improving the communication ability of nurses.Methods C-I-CARE communication procedure was converted into Chinese.The Chinese version of Six-Step standardized communication procedure was Yi Kan,Er Yin,San Gaozhi,Si Wen,Wu Da,Liu Zaijian.The procedure was propagandized by making posters,setting up computer desktop,training nurses by lectures,video and role play.The effects were evaluated by pre and post self-control test among 100 nurses.Results The average score of communication behavior of 100 nurses after applying standardized communication procedure increased from 2.55±0.67 to 4.44±0.59 (t=-23.174,P<0.001).In 2015,the nursing department received 622 silk banners and commendatory letters for appreciating nursing work,increased by 18.9% compared to 2014.The discharged patient satisfaction increased from 94.2% to 96.93%.The satisfaction of doctors to nurses' collaboration was 99.86%.There was no nursing complaint or dispute caused by bad communication.Conclusion The application of procedure and standardized communication method can improve the communication ability of nurses,optimize the relationship between nurses and patients and increase patient satisfaction.
