Objective To study the selection of the follow-up care and related factors in stroke patients after acute treatment in general hospital. Methods A total of 230 acute stroke patients discharged from January to December, 2015, were reviewed. They were classified with age, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, referral options, etc., and the key consideration in the selection were compared. Results There were 125 patients needing referral. Referral increased while mRS worsening (P<0.05). The demand for the continuation of rehabilita-tion was higher in the patients with mRS scores of 0-1 and 2-3 than that of 4-5 (F=4.300, P<0.05), but the latter cared more about medical quality (F=3.464, P<0.05) and hospitalization length (F=3.692, P<0.05). The patients more than 80 years old cared more about medical qual-ity (F=4.630, P<0.05). The patients selecting continuous treatment in our hospital paid more attention on continuation (F=7.590, P<0.001), while those selecting rehabilitation institutions cared more about rehabilitation capacity (F=32.156, P<0.001), and those selecting communi-ty hospitals or nursing home cared more about hospitalization length (F=18.823, P<0.001), easy to visit (F=14.070, P<0.001), etc. Referral information mainly came from the doctors (72.0%), only 28.0% from the patients. Conclusion Severity of disability, age and the prognosis may impact the choice for the following rehabilitation in acute stroke patients. Doctors can do more for reasonable referral recommendations to the patients.

Objective To analyze mutations in the Wilms tumor gene (WT1) in Ieukemogenesis.Methods WT1 gene in peripheral blood was determined by PRC-SSCP technique,in 32 cases of acute leukemia,included 9 cases of acute granulocytic leukemia,8 cases of chronic granulocytic leukemia(mean age-33 years) and 16 specimens of normal subjects were also detected.Results Mutations in the WT1 gene in 3 of 32 leukemias were found .WT1 mutations were found in 11% of cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and in 13% of cases of acute myeloid leukemia,in which they were associtated with a poor response to chemotherapy.Conclusions The mutations in Wilms tumor gene WT1 are associated with leukemogenesis and its therapy,which WT1 transcripts may prove a significant tumor marker, as a MRD monitor in evaluating remission status and early relapse,and may be useful in prognosis of acute leukemia.

Objective To understand the current status and related factors of unexpected injuries during hospitalization in old patients in Shaoxing city. Methods By way of convenient sampling methods, 850 old patients aged over 65 years were chosen from five of grade 3 hospitals in Shaoxing city. The status and consequence of unexpected injuries during their hospitalization in past one year were retrospectively investigated with face to face questionnaire at patients home. Results The occurrence of unexpected injuries in 850 hospitalization old patients were 54(6.35%) during their hospitalization in past one year. The occurrence rate in female (9.27%) was significantly higher than that in male (4.25%) (?2=7.57, P

Objective To investigate the potential effect of the redox state of plasma factor Ⅺ (FXI) on the pathogenesis of elderly diabetic hypercoagulability and macroangiopathy.Methods The plasma levels of reduced FXI were detected in elderly type 2 diabetic(T2DM)patients with/without macroangiopathy (T2DM group/DMAP group) and healthy subjects (control group),and variables associated with reduced FXI were analyzed.Results Elderly patients with T2DM had higher plasma levels of reduced FXI as compared with healthy controls.The level of reduced FXI was significantly higher in patients with macroangiopathy than without macroangiopathy [control group:(80.6± 15.6) %,T2DM group:(94.7 ± 16.0) %,DMAP group (142.6 ± 36.5) %,all P< 0.05].The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that plasma levels of triglyceride,cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were the independent predictors for reduced FXI.Conclusions The plasma level of reduced FXI is increased in elderly T2DM patients with macroangiopathy.The abnormality of lipid profiles may associate with the increment of reduced FXI.These findings maybe provide the novel mechanisms for diabetic hypercoagulability and macroangiopathy.

OBJECTIVE:To conduct supplementary study for quality standard for Compound vaccariae tablets. METHODS:TLC was used for the qualitative identification of Vaccariae;HPLC was used to determine the contents of vaccarin and anthranilic acid. The column was YMC-Pack Pro C18 with mobile phase of methanol- 0.3% phosphpric acid(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 280 nm,column temperature was 35 ℃ and volume size was 10 μl. RESULTS:The chromatographic spots were clear and well-separated without interference from negative control. The linear range was 0.055 7-2.228 7μg(r=0.999 9)for vaccarin and 2.011 4-40.227 9 μg(r=0.999 9)for anthranilic acid;RSDs of precision,stability and reproduc-ibility tests were no more than 1.01%;average recoveries were respectively 99.69%(RSD=1.11%,n=6) and 99.84%(RSD=1.18%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate with good reproducibility,and can be used for quality control of Compound vaccariae tablets.

Objective To investigate the real situation of the burden of the caregivers who take care of patients with spinal cord injury.Methods Using phenomenological research methods of qualitative study,information of 15 family caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury were collected through semi-structured interviews in Jiangxi province,and data were analyzed with Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results Four themes were summarized:weak social support system,heavy economic burden,insufficient care ability,mental and physical exhaustion; mental and physical exhaustion concluded three sub-themes:burnout,lifestyle changes,sad/helplessness.Conclusions Care burden of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury includes four aspects:social,physical,psychological,and less caring capacity.Care workers should be concerned about the health status of the caregivers,give targeted care intervention,so that caregivers can be adapted to the caregivers' role,maintain and promote a high level of health of the patients and their families.

Objective To investigate the level of care burden and self efficacy of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury,and analyze their correlation.Methods By convenience sampling method,150 cases of spinal cord injury patients and their caregivers were investigated with Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and general self-efficacy scale.Results The score of care burden of caregivers with spinal cord injury was (52.91 ± 11.56) points,self-efficacy score of caregivers was (19.63 ± 4.85) points.The score of care burden of caregivers and self-efficacy was highly negatively correlated.Conclusions We should pay more attention to improve the self-efficacy of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI),in order to mitigate the care burden,improve care ability and health level of the patients' families.

Objective To compare the effect of low concentration versus ultra-low concentration of ropivacaine in combination with sufentanil delivered via programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) with patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) during labour on obstetric and anesthetic outcomes.Methods Seventy-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ nulliparous parturients who were at full term with a singleton fetus in vertex presentation were randomized to receive 0.1 % ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/mL sufentanil (Group L,38 cases) or 0.06% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/mL sufentanil (Group UL,38 cases).Another matched 76 cases of primiparas without labor analgesia (Group C) served as controls.For primiparas received analgesia,an epidural catheter was inserted when the cervical dilatation was up to 2-3 cm.The analgesia level was controlled below T8,and VAS score was controlled below 4.Thirty minutes after analgesia started,Group L and UL received PIEB with PCEA regimen including basal infusion of 8 mL/h of ropivacaine with sufentanil,patient-controlled bolus 6 mL and lockout interval 10 minutes.The duration of labor,delivery mode,Apgar score,VAS score and anesthetic drug consumption of each group were recorded.Results The second stage of labor were not statistically different between Group UL and C.The second stage of Group L was longer than that of Group C (P<0.05).Furthermore,with similar performance in pain score and satisfactory level at each time point,Group UL consumed much less ropivacaine than Group L (P<0.05).The cesarean section rate,instrumental delivery rate and the Apgar score were not significantly different among the 3 groups.Conclusions While using PIEB with PCEA,0.06% ropivacaine was capable of providing satisfactory analgesia effects for primipara and has less effects on the obstetric outcome.Therefore,it could be recommended for labour analgesia.
