Objective To investigate the effect of community nursing intervention on the dementia caregivers'quality of life at home.Methods General situation questionnaire,simple intelligent state scale and patients daily life ability scale were used to evaluate patients' medical condition.Health questionnaire (SF-36) was used to assess the caregiver's quality of life at baseline and 3,6,9,12,18 and 24 months after the intervention.Results Compared with the control group,three dimension scores of the caregivers,including physical function(PF),restriction of physical heahh(RP) and mental health(MH),were significantly increased at 9,12,18 and 24 months after intervention,and the difference was significant(PF:t values were 2.084,2.118,2.051 and 2.591,respectively; RP:t values were 2.204,2.377,3.032 and 3.785,respectively; MH:t values were 2.112,2.369,3.204 and 2.913,respectively; all P＜0.05).Moreover,there was significantly difference between the two groups in two dimension scores of restricted role caused by emotional problems(RE) and general health(GH) at 12,18 and 24 months after intervention(RE:t values were 2.211,2.471 and 2.779,respectively; GH:t values were 2.158,2.485 and 2.887,respectively; all P＜ 0.05).For the intervention group,RP,RE,PF,MH and GH at 24 months showed statistically significant difference with baseline(t values were 3.131,3.293,2.457,3.618 and 3.433,respectively; all P＜0.05).However,there was no difference between the two groups in body pain(BP),vitality(VT) and social function (SF),and there was no statistically significant difference before and after the intervention(all P＞0.05).There was no statistically significant difference before and after the intervention in each dimension scores of SF-36 of the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Community nursing intervention can improve senile dementia caregivers'quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the levels of plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP),high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the correlation in the patients with actue coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods One hundred and eight patients with ACS as ACS group,while 84 healthy controls as control group.ACS group included non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group (37 cases),ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group (35 cases),unstable angina(UA) group(36 cases).Recorded and compared the levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in two groups,and the correlation was analyzed.Results The levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in ACS group were significantly higher than those in control group [(1264.8 ±671.8) ng/L vs.(337.0 ± 10.6) ng/L,(15.42 ± 8.03) mg/L vs.(6.92 ± 0.59) mg/L,P ＜ 0.05].The correlation between hs-CRP and NT-proBNP level was positive in ACS (r =0.46,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of NT-proBNP in NSTEMI group,STEMI group,UA group,control group,differences among groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of hs-CRP in NSTEMI group,STEMI group,UA group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the levels of NT-proBNP between STEMI group and UA group (P ＞0.05).And the levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP increased with the increasing of coronary artery lesion counts,the differences among groups were statistically significant (P ＜0.05).Conclusion ACS can be early diagnosed through combined detection of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP,and NT-proBNP and hs-CRP can be used as important makers to evaluate prognosis and risk stratification.

Objective To explore the curative effects of treating vaginal bleeding after drug-induced abortion with self-made biochemical mixture. Methods A total of 100 pregnant patients were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group. Both groups were treated with mifepristone and misoprostol. On this basis, the control group was administrated with Motherwort herb preparation orally, and the treatment group was treated with self-made biochemical mixture orally. Both groups were treated for 7 days. Therapeutic effects were observed after the treatment. Results The total effective rate was 76% and 94% in the control group and the treatment group respectively, showing statistical difference (χ2=8.663, P＜0.05).Conclusion It is effective to treat vaginal bleeding after drug-induced abortion with self-made biochemical mixture.

Objective To study the response of the retinal neuronal adaptive system to changes of background illumination (BG) by measuring the oscillatory potentials (OPs) and the a- and b-waves of the electroretinogram (ERG) in different BG illuminations. Methods The a- and b- wave and the digitally filtered OPs were simultaneously recorded from Wistar Fu rats aged from 25 to 29 days during dark adaptation (DA) and during 6~8 minutes of BG illuminations at four levels increased successively by steps of two log units, i.e., "low scotopic" level of 1.43?10 -6 cd/m 2, "high scotopic" of 1.43?10 -4 cd/m 2, "low mesopic" of 1.43?10 -2 cd/m 2 and "high mesopic" of 1.43?10 2 cd/m 2. Full field stimulus flashes of 75 msec duration and 1.43?10 2 cd/m 2 intensity was delivered at an interval of 1 minute. Results Five OP wavelets were recorded in DA and during scotopic BG illuminations. The number of wavelets was reduced to three as the eyes were exposed to mesopic BG levels. However, the sum of OPs amplitudes (SOPs) increased as the BG was intensified, except at "high mesopic" level, by which a significant decrease of SOPs occurred. The amplitudes of the a- and b-waves remained unchanged at the two scotopic BG and decreased as the BG intensity increased to mesopic levels. Conclusion The response of retinal neural adaptive system of the Albino rat to changes of BG light is more sensitive and robust than the slow components of the ERG. The enhancement of the oscillatory responses at "low mesopic" illumination level suggests that using proper BG light may be conducive to reducing the variation of OPs.

Objective:To study the speech articulation and the consonant /r/acoustic features of articulation disorders caused by velopharyngeal insufficiency.Methods:According to “Uyghur speech articulation test scale”and the classification method used in Uyghur articulation disorders the articulation and characterization of consonant /r/of 31 cases with velopharyngeal insufficiency were examined,scored and classified.Results:The cases of mild(-x =81),moderate(-x =51)and severe(-x =21)voice disorder in the 31 patients were 9,12 and 10 respectively.Among the 3 groups,CD,CA,F1,F3 and F4 were different(P <0.05),F2 was not (P>0.05).Conclusion:“Uyghur speech articulation test scale”and speech articulation classification standard have certain clinical value in of the study of Uyghur articulation disorders.There are differences in pathological consonant acoustic parameters of consonant/r/between and patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency and the subjects with normal speech.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between nutritional status and body fluid distribution in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Methods: Sixty-six CAPD patients without edema were recruited in this study. Patients’ fluid status was measured by bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and nutritional status was assessed by subjective global assessment (SGA). Thirty-six age-matched healthy people served as controls. Results: As compared to the healthy control, CAPD patients had significant abnormal fluid distribution in the body with significantly decreased intracellular water (ICW) and little change in extracellular water (ECW). Malnutrition further aggregated the changes in body fluid distribution. Conclusion: Body fluid distribution is abnormal in CAPD patients and may be affected by patients’ nutritional status. The ratio of ICW/ECW can not be correctly used to evaluate hydration state when the patient is malnourished. Key word: intracellular water (ICW); extracellular water (ECW); bioimpedance analysis (BIA); malnutrition
