Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2015;31(7):475-477
Objective To develop a questionnaire for factors influencing the quality of nursing interns.Methods The factors influencing the quality of nursing interns were formulated through literature review,interview and expert consultation.The pre-questionnaire was developed after modification.Exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis were used to examine the reliability and validity of this questionnaire.Results Six common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis.Factor loading ranged from 0.487 to 0.889 for each item.The Cronbach α of the total scale was 0.814,and that of subscales ranged from 0.802 to 0.863.Retest-reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.863,and that of subscales ranged from 0.794 to 0.931.Conclusions The self-designed questionnaire for factors influencing the quality of nursing interns has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure the influencing factors for nursing interns.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2010;16(8):713-715
Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and side effect of combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) on patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods50 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated by combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and ESWT(study group, n=22) or combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and pain-point injection of betamethasone(control group, n=28). The parameters included pain intensity (Numeric Rating Score, NRS) at rest and at exercise, pain relief rate, the time when pain disappeared and times of betamethasone administration or ESWT. The side effects were also evaluated.ResultsNRS decreased in the two groups after treatment, while NRS was not different between the two groups(P>0.05) except 1 week after the treatment(P<0.01).ConclusionThe combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and extracorporeal shock wave is a safe and effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets on the treatment of migraine. Methods 100 patients with migraine were divided into two groups randomly. They received SGB with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets (experimental group) or only SGB (control group) respectively. The parameters included pain intensity before and 1 d,3 d,1 w,1 m and 3 m after the treatment, and pain relief rate of each patient. The adverse effects were also evaluated. Results The pain intensity described as numeric rating score (NRS) decreased in the two groups at each time point. In the experimental group, the value of NRS was significantly less than that in the control group at 3d,1m and 3m after the treatment. The effec-tive rate ha the experimental group and the control group were 88% and 68%. Conclusion SGB with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets is more effective for migraine and deserves widely used in patients.

OBJECTIVE:To promote essential drug list into practice.METHODS:Relevant problems on the selection of National Essential Drug List were explored and analyzed.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:There are some problems on coordination of safety and effectiveness of drugs,price and the selection of traditional Chinese medicine.The advantage of first choice of essential drugs is not reflected completely.Large or small problems exist in selection process and individual drug verification.There was low credibility of drug evaluation.On the whole,the selection and formulation of essential drug list should be adjusted and improved continuously to guarantee the requirement of public medication.

Objective To improve EP9-A2 for Bias estimation among multiple quantitative detection systems within full range of AMR.Methods 40 patients specimens were determined twice for serum total cholesterol by four detection systems(A,B,C and D).With system A served as comparative method,Bias between A and the other three was evaluated according to CLSI EP9-A2 separately.Furthermore,DD(distance from deviation to tolerable error)and its average confidence intervals between every two sys-tem were calculated and compared with zero.The confidence interval of greater than zero was served as criteria for accepting bias between every two system.Results Bias between A and the other three meet the analytical quality specification according to EP9-A2,although that of D system was positive,and those of B and C system were negative.DD between every two system obeyed nor-mality distribution.All biases between every two system wes acceptable except that between B and D,causing of their interval con-taining zero.After correcting of results from system D,Biases between every two system were all acceptable.Plots of confidence in-terval could provide a full range bias assessment within AMR.Conclusion Comparability and Bias estimation in full range of AMR for results between every two system among 3 or more systems could be evaluated by confidence intervals.

Objective To investigate the prostecdtive therapeutic efficacy of pulsed radiofrenquency and radiofrequency thermocoagulationof the Gasserian ganglion guided with spiral CT on trigeminal neuralgia. Methods 100 patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgiawere treated with pulsed radiofrenquency or radiofrequency thermocoagulation of gasserian ganglion. The numeric rating scales (NRS) ofpain were recorded before and 0.5 year, 1 year, and 2 years after treatment. Results There was no difference in NRS within 1 year, but the recurrencerate was high in the paitents accepted pulsed radiofrenquency 2 years later (P<0.01). Conclusion Pulsed radiofrenquency of thegasserian ganglion is safe and effective on trigeminal neuralgia, but poor in long-term outcome.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and side-effect of pulsed radiofrequency and radiofrequency thermocoagulation for gasserian ganglion guided by spiral CT on trigeminal neuralgia. Methods 100 patients diagnosed as idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia were treated with pulsed radiofrequency or radiofrequency thermocoagulation for gasserian ganglion. They were assessed with numeric rating scales (NRS) before and 1 d,3 d,1 week, 1 month, 6 months and 12 month after treatment. The side effects were recorded. Results There was significant decrease in the scores of NRS after treatment compared with those before (P<0.01) in both groups. No serious side effects were observed. Conclusion Pulsed radiofrequency for gasserian ganglion for trigeminal neuralgia was effective and less side-effect.

The method of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of shoulder hand syndrome after stroke is reliablet, quick, with simple operation and less adverse reactions. Among them, characteristic acupuncture could focus on the targeted points with obvious effect than ordinary acupuncture, and the combination with rehabilitation training could greatly improve the curative effect. However, there still exist some problems in the current research, such as the difficulty of conducting blind clinical trials of acupuncture therapy; the lack of follow-up data in the evaluation of curative effect, the uncertainty of long-term curative effect; the small sample size of clinical research, etc., so multi-centered and large sample RCT research are still needed.
