Objective To explore the blood sugar controlling for elderly patients with fracture and diabetes mellitus. Methods Twenty patients with fracture complicated with diabetes were managed with mental education and diet controlling. Meanwhile nursing measures were done to prevent infections, bedsores and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Results The fasting blood sugar levels of the 20 elderly patients were well controlled below 7.8 mmol / L. There were no related complications. Conclusion Such nursing measures as psychological counseling and diet control are helpful for a steady maintenance of blood sugar for feasibility of surgical operation, to ensure successful manipulation of the surgical operation. Prevention of infection, bedsore and DVT is critical for ensuring the success of operations.

Nursing experiences on 4 children with organic acidemia were summarized. The nursing care focused on correct collection of samples for early diagnosis,prompt opening of an effective intravenous route to manage water,electrolyte,acid-base and metabolic imbalances,special medication nursing,strict diet control to prevent relapse,health education to keep normal growth and development. Three children were followed up for 1 month,7 months and 1 year respectively with disease controlled and a child was withdrawn treatment from.

OBJECTIVE: To study the causes of false-positive hyoid fractures and forensic identification. METHODS: Twelve cases of false-positive hyoid fractures were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Improper dissection technique (4 cases) and congenital separation (8 cases) were the main reasons for false-positive hyoid fractures. CONCLUSION True fractures can be differentiated from false-positive hyoid fractures. False-positive hyoid fracture caused by improper dissection technique can be identified through examination of peripheral muscle, soft tissue hemorrhage, and the characteristics of fracture end.

AIM:To investigate the effect and mechanism of liver ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury on the changes of cardiac energy metabolism and structure.METHODS:48 healthy Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups as follows(n=8 in each group):control group(CTL),simply ischemia for 30 min without reperfusion(I group);reperfusion following ischemia for 30 min(I/R group);2 h reperfusion following ischemia for 30 min(I/R 2 h group);4 h reperfusion following ischemia for 30 min(I/R 4 h group)and 6 h reperfusion following ischemia for 30 min(I/R 6 h group).The level of serum endotoxin was measured.The levels of insulin and insulin antibody in heart were detected by radioimmunoassay.The contents of MDA,MPO and lactic acid in heart were also determined.RESULTS:During the process of liver I/R injury,the level of endotoxin increased in I group and I/R group and declined gradually for long time during reperfusion,but was still longer than that in CTL group(P0.05).CONCLUSION:During the process of liver I/R injury,endotoxin is absorbed from intestine and impairment of liver detoxication leads to endotoxemia,which might play a role in the changes of the energy metabolism and structure in heart.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate a expanded reverse island flap with a saphenous neuro-vascular pedicle for repairing the defects of the feet and ankles.

METHODSAn expanded reverse island skin flap, with the Six saphenous neuro-vascular pedicle, was designed to repair the skin defects on the feet and ankles.

RESULTSpatients with the defects of the feet and ankles were treated with the expanded saphenous island flap and all of the The expanded reversed island skin flaps were survived. The largest flap size was 12 cm x 10 cm.

CONCLUSIONSflap could be a good option for repairing the defects of the feet and ankles.

Objective To analyze the prevalence of the various hematological malignancies (HM) in Harbin.Methods Study data was collected from January 2010 to December 2011.All cases were diagnosed and classified on the basis of blood test,bone marrow puncture,histochemical staining and typing and classified by the French American British classification.The age and sex distribution of HM and its subtypes were analyzed.Results Of 2214 Chinese people diagnosed with HM,acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (33.5 ％) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (29.9 ％) were the most prevalent and of 742 AML,the most frequent subtypes were M3.With the growth of age,the rates of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) were increased,but in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),this trend was reversed.The distribution of HM increased with age between 0-60 years old,in above 60 years old,the frequency of some chronic HM including CLL,chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML),chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and MM were continued to rise,but other HM subtypes were decrease,lower than in 41-60 years old groups.This study also revealed that M0 and MPAL were more common in 0-20 years as well as ALL.For patients never drinking alcohol and drinking for at least 10 years maybe associated with acute leukemia [OR =1.53 (95 ％ CI 1.05-2.23)],while smoking wasn' t a substantial risk factor for acute and chronic leukemia (P =0.20,0.48).Conclusions The epidemiology of HM in Harbin indicates that AML is the most prevalent,followed by MDS.Prevalence of CLL and MM increases with the age in patients above 60 years old.Drinking for at least 10 years maybe associated with acute leukemia.

Objective To compare the hypnotic effect of propofol administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI) during day-time and night-time,in order to explore the effect of circadian rhythms on the sedative effect of propofol.Methods Sixty-five male ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-55 yr undergoing emergency minor hand surgery were divided into 2 gorups according to the time of the day when they received propofol TCI:day-time group (from 7:01 to 19:00) and night-time group (from 19:01 to 7:00).The pharmacokinetic parameters proposed by Schnider which predict effect-site concentration (Ce) were used.Four effect-site concentrations of propofol were set:0.8,1.2,2.0 and 4.0 μg/ml.Ce was increased step by step and each Ce was maintained for 5 min.The level of sedation at each Ce was assessed by BIS and OAA/S scores.BIS value and Ce of propofol were recorded and compared between the 2 groups when the patients lost consciousness (OAA/S score =2).Results There was 28 and 30 patients in day-time and nighet-time groups respectively.When Ce =1.2 and 2.0 μg/ml,the BIS values were significantly lower in night-time group than in day-time group.There was no significant difference in BIS value between the 2 groups when Ce =0.8 and 4.0 μg/ml.When the patients lost consciousness (OAA/S =2),the BIS value was comparable between the 2 groups,but Ce was significantly lower in night-time group than that in daytime group.Conclusion The hypnotic effect of propofol is greater during night-time than during day-time.

Objective To investigate the effect of platelet activating factor on the proliferation of cultured hepatic stellate cells in vitro. Methods LX-2 cell line was chosen as the study model of the activated hepatic stellate cells. MTT colo- rimetric assay was used to evaluate the proliferation of HSCs. Cell cycle was evaluated by ways of flow cytometry with PI staining and BrdU incorporation.Results OD_(492) value of PAF groups at concentration from (1 × 10~(-8)-1 × 10~(-3) mol/L), were higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). OD_(492) value of PAF (1×10~(-6)) + PAF-RA × 1 (10~(-7)-1 × 10~(-4)mol/L) groups was less than that of PAF (1 ×10~(-6)mol/L) group (P<0.05). S% and PrI of PAF groups increased significantly. Conclusion PAF can increase the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells in a dose-dependent manner while PAF receptor antagonist reduces the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells induced by PAF.

Objective To investigate the approach of diagnosis and therapy of particular tracheal bronchus foreign body.Methods The clinical materials of 26 cases cured in our department were analyzed retrospectively.Results All foreign bodies of cases were taken out successfully.Among them,the foreign bodies of 18 cases were removed from glottis;the foreign bodies of 4 cases were pulled out via laryngoscope;the foreign bodies of 3 cases were drawn away through tracheotomy by endoscopy and 1 case was moved out by bronchofibroscopy.Only 1 case had lung edema and then was cured by proper treatment.Conclusion Considering that the particular foreign bodies in tracheal bronchus are complicated sometimes,the diagnosis and therapy should be treated appropriately according to different situation.Furthermore,properly choosing surgical appliances and the approaches of anaesthesia and surgery is also critical.
