Objective To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of acute mesenteric isehe-mic disease. Methods Clinical data of 15 patients with acute mosenteric ischemic disease were analyzed retrospective-ly. Results Operation was performed on 14 patients and 1 patient received conservative treatment, 9 cases recovered and 5 died postoperatively. Conclusion Color ultrasound and selective angiography are effective examinations for early diagnosis of acute mesenterie ischemic disease. Early resection of necrotic bowel and application of anticoagulant post-operatively are effective to reduce the mortality. Conservative treatment is still effective for elective patient.

Objective To understand the attitude of health workers towards people living with HIV and AIDS(PLWHA) and AIDS knowledge and desire for related training among them in selected hospitals in Beijing.Method Convenience sampling was used to select health workers from 32 hospitals of different levels in 4 districts within Beijing.Anonymous self-administrated questionnaires were used to collect the information regarding AIDS knowledge and desire for relevant training.Results A total of 1 292 health workers completed the questionnaire.They demonstrated a moderate level of general AIDS knowledge,but a low level of knowledge related to AIDS diagnosis and therapy.Of them 39.7% had received specialized AIDS training and 96% had strongly desire for such specialized training.Most health workers sympathized with PLWHA and understood their situation,while some of them were afraid of PLWHA and wanted to have minimal contact with PLWHA.91.3% of the health workers expressed that PLWHA should have the same rights to medical services.At the same time,49.2% of the health workers stated that they would not like to work in hospitals or departments which accepted PLWHA.80% of the health workers expressed concern over acquiring HIV infection in the workplace.52.7% of them thought that they had a risk of becoming infected in the workplace.Conclusion The level of AIDS knowledge among health workers in Beijing needs to be improved.Specialized training to enhance and develop health workers knowledge of prevention,diagnosis and treatment of AIDS is required.Most of the health workers do not discriminate against PLWHA,but they express concern over infection in the workplace.

Objective To know the relationship between the changes of total anti-oxidation capacity (T-AOC),nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) the liver and liver damage induced by chronic fluoride exposure.Methods Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,control(treated with tap water),low fluoride(LF,treated with NaF at 100 mg/L) and high fluoride (HF,treated with NaF at 200 mg/L),6 in each group.Fluoride was given through drinking water.During the period of exposure,the body was weighed and after 6 months of treatment,the rats were killed,the liver coefficient was calculated,T-AOC, NO and NOS in the livers were determined respectively.Results Compared with the control,the liver coefficient,NO and NOS in the fluoride treated groups significantly increased (P

Excessive and fast rise of medical expenses in China recent years has worsened the financial burden of both the government and individuals alike,making it a hotspot issue countrywide.To alleviate the difficulties of "accessibility to medical services" and "poverty or repoverty resulting from sickness" faced by the Chinese people at large,we built a multi-factor analysis model to identify key factors contributing to such a fast rise of medical expenses based on an analysis of the medical expenses in Shandong Province.In addition,we discussed the causes for GDP and headcount of medical staff in relation to the rise of medical expenses,and the strategies to curb expenses.

Objective To investigate the effects of Omaha system which is applied to seniors with chronic disease in medical nursing home.Methods 48 seniors with chronic diseases in medical nursing home were chosen through convenience sampling methods,the Omaha system was applied to assess nursing problem,carry out nursing intervention,score outcome before and after the intervention,SPSS13.0 was used to enter data for statistical analysis.Results Seniors with chronic disease in medical nursing home had 29 nursing problems,accounting for 69.05％,4 intervention categories was used,69 of targets selected,accounting for 90.79％,after the intervention,KBS score was (3.85 ±0.89),(3.92±0.83),(4.05 ±0.77),higher than (3.07±0.83),(3.16±0.75),(3.61±0.77) before the intervention,and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions The application of Omaha system can improve the level of cognition and behavior and state of seniors with chronic disease in medical nursing home.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of polysaccharides from the rhizomorph of Armillaria mella(AMP-1) on alloxan injured INS-1 cells.Methods Graded concentrations of AMP-1(2,10,50,100,500,1 000 mg?L-1) were added into the culture medium of alloxan injured INS-1 cells.The survival rate was measured by MTT assay.The amount of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in different concentrations of AMP-1 was determined by radioimmunoassay(RIA).SOD and NOS activity,NO,MDA and GSH production were assayed colorimetrically.Results AMP-1 could reduce oxidative injuries induced by alloxan in INS-1 cells.The survival rate of cells treated with AMP-1 increased significantly.In the presence of 5.6 mmol?L-1 or 16.7 mmol?L-1 glucose,AMP-1(50,100,500,1 000 mg?L-1)increased glucose-induced insulin secretion in INS-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner.NOS levels and the production of NO and MDA decreased significantly by AMP-1,while SOD levels and the production of GSH increased.Conclusions AMP-1 promoted glucose-induced insulin secretion in INS-1 cells by increasing the abilities of scavenging the free radicals induced by alloxan.
