Chinese Journal of Rheumatology 2010;14(10):694-697
Objective To explore an effective way to improve the quality of life of elderly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients by a survey about their present living conditions and analyze the effect of some related factors. Methods This was a descriptive study and convenient sampling survey were adopted. Seventyfive elder patients with RA were investigated with self-developed questionnaire, self-mana-gement scale,family function questionnaire, DAS28, 36 question scale health survey questionnaire (SF-36). The demographic data, elderly RA related knowledge and attitudes, self-management, family function and quality of life were also investigated. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the quality of life of elderly RA and the affecting factors. Results The score of SF-36 was (66±12). The SF-36 scores was associated with joint function (r=0.705, P<0.01 ), and DAS28 (r=-0.712, P<0.01 ). The SF-36 score was positively associated with the understanding of the deterioration of symptoms, the attitude of patients towards their diseases, satisfactory to the help from their families, the access to medical care and the degree of selfmanagement (r=0.515, 0.485, 0.540, 0.575, 0.545, P<0.01); while it was negatively associated with the duration of disease course (r=-0.312, P<0.01 ). In addition, this study also discovered that the quality of life declined with the decline of their economic status, but tended to improve with the increase of education level.Conclusion The life quality of elderly RA patients is not ideal. It is associated with DAS 28 score, the duration of disease course, the understanding of their diseases, the attitude towards their disease, selfmanagement, family support and other facotrs
2.Diagnosis value of CTA on posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm(report of 2 cases)
Journal of Clinical Neurology 2014;(3):219-221
Objective To explore the diagnosis value of CTA on posterior inferior cerebellar artery ( PICA ) aneurysm.Methods The clinical data of 2 patients with PICA aneurysms were analyzed retrospectively .Results Two patients were elderly,acute onset,CT confirmed subarachnoid hemorrhage ,CTA of the first time were negative within 3 h after the onset .After the treatments of preventing cerebral vasospasm , increasing blood volume , protecting brain cells and etc for 3-7 d, one case improved ,one case were invalid .Given CTA examination again then found 3 aneurysms, one case with 2 aneurysms located on the left side of the PICA , accompanying with hydrocephalus ,and the other case with 1 aneurysm located on the left side of the PICA .Two patients obtained a good image evaluation and rich information .Conclusions In view of the particularity of the PICA aneurysms , CTA can be used as the preferred method of examination , which can provide comprehensive imaging data .When CTA examination of the first time is negative , giving CTA again remains an ideal choice after short-term treatment .
3.Clinical Study on Treating Advanced Gastric Carcinoma Using Elemene Emulsion by Arterial Embolization
Journal of Practical Radiology 2000;16(12):705-707
Objective:To study the effect and applicability of interventianal therapy using elemene emulsion with gastric carcinoma in the advanced period or relapse after operation.Methods:The embolization of advanced gastric carcinoma in 68 cases via left gastric artery,arteria mesenterica superior and arteria coeliaca in 296 patients using elemene emulsion was done with the method of LEF,ELP pand EAP,the indexes of the angiogram before and after treatment,GI and CT were studied for evaluating the effect with the intervals ranging from 2 to 4 months.The regression rate of carcinoma,the retained time of embolism,the survival stage,the survival rate and histopathology were observed.Results:The survival rate of one year was 63.2%,of two years 29.4% and of three years 7.4%.the average survival time of liver metastasis and non-metastasis was 9.6 and 15.6 months respectively,the regression rate of the carcinoma was 64.8%.These figures were higher than those of other interventional radiology and chemotherapy.Conclusion:The embolism with elemene emulsion is a hopeful method to treat the advanced gastric carcinoma of being unable to operation.
5.Application effect of 4R crisis management in patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2017;24(6):875-878
Objective To explore the application effect of 4R crisis management in patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods 88 patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU were selected as the study subjects,by random number table method they were divided into observation group and control group, 44 cases in each group.The control group was treated with basic nursing intervention,the observation group received 4R crisis management of nursing intervention.After the implementation of different nursing intervention,the incidence of pressure ulcers,prevention effect and nursing satisfaction,crisis event occurrence and the quality of care were com-pared between the two groups.Results The incidence rate of pressure ulcers of the observation group was 2.27%, effectively preventive rate was 95.45%,the crisis event occurrence rate was 4.55% and nursing satisfaction rate was 97.73%,nursing quality score was (93.78 ±3.19)points,which were significantly better than those of the control groups[20.45%,68.18%,47.73%,75.00%,(87.91 ±2.75)points](χ2 =5.53,9.24,19.07,7.82,t =9.25,all P <0.05).Conclusion 4R crisis management nursing intervention can effectively improve the ICU mechanical ven-tilation patients crisis events,improve the quality of nursing and nursing satisfaction.
6.Immunopharmacological Studies on LWDHW and RGL
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(05):-
The effect of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan(LWDHW)and Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch(RGL)on the immune function of normal and immune-suppressed mice were observed.The results showed that the two medicinal herbs given orally can correct the suppres-sive effect of cyclophosphamide on spleen and thymus weight,serum specific antibodylevel and lymphocyte transformation.They can also improve the phagocytic activity ofperitoneal macrophages and enhance peripheral blood ANAE~+ lymphocyte ratio of mi-ce.Under the same conditions,no obvious effect of LWDHW and RGL on the normalmice was found except that RGL can increase the antibody level of normal mice.Theresults implicate that LWDHW and RGL may have some immunomodulatary effect.

Objective To explore the relationship between psychosocial stress and the occurrence and development of gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods 40 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(study group) and 40 normal pregnant women(control group) from Mar.2000 to Jan.2001 in our hospital with type A behavior pattern(TABP),life events scale(LES) and state-trait anxiety inventory(STAI).Results(1)There were 27 cases(67.5%) of type A behavior in the study group,whereas 13 cases(32.5%) in the normal controls,the difference being significant(P
10.The innervation,muscle architecture and their clinical application in pectoralis major
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objective:To provide anatomical basis for clinical application of human pectoralis major (P.major).Methods:The intramuscular nerve branches and muscle architectural features of P.major were dissected and observed.Results:1.The clavicular part(clavic.part) and sternal part of P.major had their anatomically distinct nerve supply.Some final terminal branches went along their course to each muscle slip.2.The average muscle mass,muscle length,fiber length and cross sectional area of the clavic.part of P.major were 45.9?10.8g,18.5?2.1cm,10.7?1.4cm and 4.1?1.1cm2,respectively and those of sternal part of P.major were 220.4?44.3g,21.4?1.6cm,17.2?2.6cm, 12.4?3.1cm2,respectively.Conclusion:1.P.major could be divided into clavic.part and sternal part compartments according to the intramuscular nerve branches.2.The force produced by sternal part is 3 times as much as the clavic.part and the excursion produced by the former is 1.6 times as much as the latter.The two compartrnents of P.major could be used for muscle transplant respectively,so could each muscle slip.
