Objective To evaluate the impact of masticatory function on malnutrition and gastrointestinal symptoms in senile patients.Methods Dental status and denture quality in 120 senile patients were investigated with questionnaires,and thecorrelation of masticatory ability with nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated.Results The nutritional status of elderly patients was correlated with the condition of the denture,but not correlated with the number of denture and chewing ability.Gastrointestinal disconffort had correlation with masticatory function,chewing problems,difficulty in chewing and food limit,but chewing function was highly correlated with taking gastrointestinal drugs.Conclusions The chewing ability and nutritional status is not relevant,but since elderly patients with weakened chewing ability avoid certain foods,thus gastrointestinal discomfort and symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as medication increased.

TWO average expense control(TAEC) is the method that the hospital want to control the increasing breadth of medicine expense by limiting the total expense which include both clinic expense and hospitalize expense.TAEC will fake great help to improve the relationship of docfor and patient and to promote the hospital work.But the method of TAEC will also to be optimize further.

Objective It is necessary for nursing staff members to assign priorities in health education to hospitalized patients to ensure curative effect .The purose of the study was to explore the effect of process management application in health education path -way to patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) . Methods A total of 70 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were randomly divided into observation group and control group , 35 patients in each group .Traditional health education was done in control group , while health education pathway was performed in observation in observation group according to process management .A study of patients′satisfaction with hospitalization , compliance of medication and knowledge of health education was undertaken . Results Observation group had priority to control group in satisfaction with hospitalization and medication compliance (77.1% vs 42.9%,P <0.05; 80.0% vs 57.1%,P<0.05).As to knowledge of health education , observation group was prior to control group in dietary restrictions , functional training methods and return visit conditions (71.4% vs 40.0%;37.1% vs 14.3%;45.7% vs 17.1%).Howerver, no significant difference was found in congintion of drugs among the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional health educa-tion, the process management application of RA health education pathway helps to improve patients ′health konwledge and medical compliance , which is an effective adjuvant treatment .

Objective To establish an evaluation system about animals infected with hantavirus,an observation of the BALB/c mice infected with hantavirus was made.Methods BALB/c mice were infected with hantavirus by intramuscular injection with stock solution.The specific antigen from BALB/c mice tissues after 3 days was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and viral RNA with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Within a short term,the specific antigen and viral RNA were detected from the brain and liver at day 3 after infection,but not be detected from the heart,spleen,lung,and kidney samples.Conclusions The results provided ones with some information on animals infected with hantavirus.

Objective: To investigate the value of positron emission tomography/computerized tomography(PET/CT) with fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose(18FDG) for gastric carcinoma.Methods: Thirty-two patients(25 males,7 females,aged 31-82 years) suspected of gastric carcinoma underwent whole-body PET/CT after taking in 600 ml of water to distend the gastral cavity.The maximal standard uptake value(SUVmax) of the region of interest(ROI) in PET and the maximum width of the gastric wall in CT were analyzed.Pathological specimens were obtained from all the patients during surgery or gastroscopy.Results: 18FDG PET/CT found gastric carcinoma in 24 of the patients.The rates of positive and negative prediction and the accuracy of PET/CT in the diagnosis of the disease were 92.3%,100% and 93.8%.SUVmax was positively correlated with the maximum width of the gastric wall,but they exhibited no statistically significant differences between the patients with involved lymph nodes and those without.Based on the PET/CT findings,the 24 gastric carcinoma patients were clinically classified as follows: 9 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,3 in stage Ⅱ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 10 in stage Ⅳ.Conclusion: 18FDG PET/CT is highly valuable for gastric carcinoma in its diagnosis,the evaluation of its biological behavior and determination of its treatment strategies.

Objective:To assess incidence of malnutrition and malnutrition risk of six department patients.Methods:The information of 1 200 patients were collected,200 in each of 6 departments in our hospital.Nutrition status was assessed according to Nutrition Risk Screening(NRS)published by ESPEN in 2001.Results:The incidence of malnutrition and malnutrition risk varied from 7.5% to 59% and 36% to 72% respectively in different department.Conclusion:The incidence of malnutrition is closely related to the kind and severity of the disease.It is nessissary to assess the nutrition status of high risk patients in time.NRS can be used simply and fastly in most inhospital patients.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during total thyroidectomy.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients suffering from recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in total thyroidectomy from 2003 to 2014 was analyzed retrospectively.Results 21 cases had temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury while 16 cases had permanent injury.The cases of injury included giant thyroid goitre,with variation of recurrent laryngeal nerve,undergoing secondary surgery,with tumor invasion and complicating thyroiditis.During the first surgery,the incidence of temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was 0.43％,and the incidence of permanent damage was 0.27％.The temporary and permanent injury incidence of secondary surgery after initial subtotal thyroidectomy was 4.59％ and 4.59％,respectively.For patients with grade 3 thyroid gland,that was 1.81％ and 0.30％,respectively and 0.51％,0.72％ respectively in malignant cases.In cases complicating thyroiditis temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occurred in 1.01％.Conclusions There is increased risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in giant goiter cases undergoing secondary operations.Hence it is suggested that initial surgical procedure be hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy

Objective To analyze the causes,treatment and prevention of operation-related complications in liver malignancy patients after CT-guided percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT).Methods A total of 68 patients with liver malignancy underwent CT-guided PMCT and their complications were analyzed retrospectively.Results The tumor diameter was 2.0-13.8 cm,mean 6.2 cm.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was performed before PMCT in 64 patients,and 68 patients received 120 times of PMCT (1-8 times per patient).The main untoward reaction of PMCT was vagus nerve accentuation.Seven patients (7/120,5.83%) had complications including needle-tract implantation (n=2),liver abscess (n=2),pneumatothorax (n=1),cardiovascular accident (n=l) and enormous biloma with infection (n=l),6 were treated finally,and implanted tumor advanced in 1 patient.Conclusion CT-guided PMCT in liver malignancies is a safe therapeutic option with low rate of operation-related complications,which can be prevented and treated.Complications of PMCT are associated with the needle tract,frequency,coagulation range and perioperative management.

Objective To analyse the routes and MRI characteristics of disseminated intracranial gliomas after operation. Methods 10 patients of intracranial gliomas confirmed by pathology and intracranial dissemination after operation underwent MRI examina-tions including T_1 WI, FSE T_2 WI, FLAIR and fat-suppressed T_1 WI after intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA. In addition, 4 cases were also examinated with DWI, 1 case with SWI and DTI. Results In 10 cases,there were glioblastoma in 7 cases,grade Ⅱ astro-cytoma in 2 and grade Ⅲ astrocytoma in one. The disseminated tumors were found by MRI in 4 to 56 months after operation. The le-sions in all patients were confirmed with the comparison of contrast-enhanced MRI positive signs between preoperation and post-operation. Plain MR scanning showed line-like thicking with isointensity in 1/7 case/time (C/T)and multiple noduli in 5/7 (C/T) on T_1 WI respectively;shallowed cortical sulci and cistern in 2/7(C/T) and nodular in 5/7(C/T) on T_2 WI;shaUowed cortical aulci and cistern in 2/7 (C/T) and nodular in 6/7(C/T) on FLAIR. The signal intensity of noduli of disseminated tumors in 7 cases were in complete consistency with that of primary neoplasm , however, in 3 cases, it was inconsistent. Enhanced scanning showed 7 ca-ses with the signs of line-like thicking, 7 cases with noduli , 6 cases with :cast-like shape" sign and 6 cases with different extent of hydrocephalus. Conclusion Enhanced MRI can be used as a most useful and reliable monitoring tools for detecting dissemination of brain glioma.

Objective To investigate the adjuvant effect of dimo-thylidioctyl ammonium bromide (DDA) and/or DDA-BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid( BCG-PSN), which was combined with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein AMM ( Ag 8 5 B - MPT64190-198 - Mtb8.4 ) to boost BCG primed immunization. Methods DDA with or without BCG PSN was mixed with the fusion protein AMM to construct the boosting vaccine. Mice were immunized with BCG and then boosted twice with AMM formulated with the adjuvant DDA with or without BCG-PSN. PBS or BCG vaccination without boosting was used as control. The humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were analyzed by ELISA and ELISPOT. Moreover, the protective efficacy of BCG prime-AMM subunit vaccine boosting against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was analyzed. Results With in vitro stimulation of Ag85B and PPD( purified protein derivative) antigen, the number of IFN-γ secreting cells from the mice boosted twice by AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN and AMM/DDA were higher than BCG and PBS group (P <0.05). The CFU in lungs of mice boosted with AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN was less than that of PBS group(P <0.05), while the CFU of AMM/DDA-boosted mice was less than that of BCG and PBS group(P < 0.05).However, fewer lesions were seen in lungs of mice immunized with BCG alone or BCG-prime-AMM/DDA/BCG-PSN boosting than the other groups. Conclusion DDA is an idea adjuvant for tuberculosis subunit vaccine;BCG-PSN might play a role in alleviating the immunity-mediated pathology.
