This paper summarizes the experiences of nursing care for children patients with Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental hip dysplasia. Nurses attended to the children immediately after the diagnosis was identified. Cooperating with orthopedic surgeon,nursing care mainly focused on family health education,follow-up and guidance on how to prevent the leg from the position of over abduction,as well as guidance on daily life,skin care and positions being holded. As a result,43 children achieved stable reposition with Pavlik harness while 4 cases changed to manipulation reposition integrated with casting whose femoral head had not reduced to the acetabulum. No femoral head necrosis and limb contracture happened except 3 cases suffered from slight skin damage.

Objective To investigate ventricular remodeling and glucose transporter 4(GLUT4) expression in rat with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) complicated with myocardial infarction (MI), as well as the effects of ramipril on ventricular remodeling and CLUT4 expression. Method Diabetic animal model (DM) was produced by cholesterol-diet and intraperitoneal injedtion of streptozotocin (STZ,30 mg/kg). The successful model was identified based on the blood gulcose value > 6.7 mmol/L. Left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated to produce the model of MI. 46 wistar rats were randomly(random number) divided into 5 groups: DM + MI + placebo group(placebo group, n = 9), DM + MI + ramipril group(ramipril group, n = 10), DM + sham-operation group (DM group, n = 10),non-DM group + MI (MI group, n = 9), and non-DM + sham-operation group (n = 8). After six weeks, echocardiographic studies was performed ; Left ventricular mass index (LVMI), myocardial infarct size and myocardial collagen volume fraction(CVF) of non-infarction area were also detected. GLUT4 mRNA in the myocardium away from infarction region was measured with real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and the expression of GLUT4 protein was measured with western blot. Analysis of variance was used to compare the groups. P -values< 0.05 were considered to indicate statistically significant differences. Results Compared with Ml group and DM group,EF[(32 ±3)% vs. (65 ±4)%, P <0.01 and (32 ±3)% vs. (38 ±4)%, P <0.05 respectively] significantly decreased,while E/A ratio (P < 0.01), LVMI (P < 0.05) and CVF (P < 0.05) obviously increased in placebo group. The expression of GLUT4 mRNA and protein were similar between placebo group and DM group, however, much lower than those in MI group(P<0.01).In rampiril group, E/A ratio (P < 0.01), LVMI(3.1±0.2 vs.4.2±0.4, P <0.01) and CVF(P < 0.05) significantly decreased compared with placebo group, while EF[(45±3)% vs.(32±3)%, P <0.01] and the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and protein (P < 0.05) increased. Conclusions Rampiril could improve left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic/di-astolic dysfunction, increase the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and protein in diabetic rats complicated with MI.

Objective To evaluate the association between hyperglycaemia at admission and in-hospital outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Three hundreds and fifty-four patients with AMI and underwent PCI were divided into 3 groups according to the glucose level on admission: group A (n=132), <7.80 mmol/L;group B (n=120), 7.80-11.00 mmol/L;group C (n=102), ≥11.00 mmol/L. Results Patients in group C had higher cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides levels than those in group A. Compared with group A, there were higher incidence of multi-vascular diseases and higher corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) in angiography in group B and group C. Cardiac events and in-hospital mortality in group B and group C were higher than those of group A, while statistical difference was found between group C and group A. Conclusion Elevated admission glucose level in AMI patients with primary PCI is associated with worse prognosis, increased major adverse cardiac events and higher in-hospital mortality.
