There are a variety of inherited metabolic diseases (IMD), the incidence is low and clinical manifestations are not char-acteristic. IMD primarily affect not only the nervous system, but also the blood system, which characterized by the abnormalities of blood cells and bone marrow. Because of some clinician's lack of this knowledge, some patients are prone to be misdiagnosed. To pro-mote early diagnosis, this article reviews five groups of IMD (lysosomal storage disease, vitaminopathies, organic aciduria, amino-acidopathies and others) and different hematological abnormal manifestations.

To compare the performances of community family physicians in different patterns of chronic disease management.From June 2011 to April 2012,3 different models (A,B,C) of chronic disease management were employed for a total of 4972 patients.Statistics analyses were performed.The number of participants,session and average effective working time were different.In terms of standard management of hypertension,diabetic management rate and non on-site management rate,model C was superior to models A and B (P < 0.01).And model A had the lowest rate of non on-site management (P <0.05).Though with each own advantage,three models are complementary.But model C reflects the residents' self-management concept of chronic disease.

OBJECTIVE To investigate drugresistance and clinical distribution characteristics of Staphylococcus strains isolated from inpatients.METHODS The meticillin-resistance and drug-resistance of the Staphylococcus strains isolated from the clinical specimens of the inpatients in our hospital between 2003 and 2005 were tested.RESULTS Totally 768 Staphylococcus strains were mainly isolated from sputum,blood,pus and wound secretion.The main clinical wards were from pediatrics,ICU,tumor chemotherapy departments.The age of these inpatients were mainly over 60 years old(48.7%) and less than 13 years old(33.2%).Two hundred and ninetyStaphylococcus aureus strains(37.8%)and 478 coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains(62.2%)were included.The isolated rates of meticillin-resistant S.aureus and meticillin-resistant coagulasenegative Staphylococcus were 74.8% and 89.1%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Infections of Staphylococcus are increased year by year among inpatients.There are high rates of meticillin-resistant strains.It is very important to monitor infections of Staphylococcus,to control the source of infections,to interrupt their spread and to protect impressionable inpatients,in order to prevent infections of Staphylococcus actively.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of rearrangements during transfection of papillary thyroid cancer (RET/PTC) 1,3 in fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimen from regional thyroid nodules by FQ-PCR.Methods Two hundred and eighty-five FNA samples were collected from patients with thyroid nodules during January 2012 to January 2013.RET/PTC1,3 rearrangements were detected with FQ-PCR.Results The frequencies of the RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 rearrangements in 285 FNA samples were 17.2% (49/285) and 1.4% (4/285),respectively.During 21.7 months of follow-up,19 (40.4%,19/47) RET/PTC1 positive patients were confirmed to have papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) after operation.In the patients with RET/PTC1 rearrangement PTC was found in Thy5 and Thy4 groups.In Thy 2 group,22.6% cases with RET/PTC1 rearrangements developed PTC as compared with 3.2% cases without it(x2 =6.667,P<0.01).In addition,8.5% (4/47) RET/PTC1 rearrangements emerged in benign lesions.Conclusions It is convenient and reliable to detect RET/PTC1,3 rearrangements by FQ-PCR using FNA samples.RET/PTC1 rearrangement frequently occurs in PTC,however it would be detected in benign lesions occasionally.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of anesthesia index (AI) for monitoring depth of sedation induced by propofol.Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 41-64 yr,with body mass index of 20-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Propofol was given by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the initial target effect-site concentration (Ce) of 1.2 μg/ml using Marsh pharmacokinetic model,and then the Ce of propofol was increased in 0.3 μg/ml increment,and Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) score was evaluated.OAA/S score was 5 before TCI of propofol.When OAA/S score reached 4,3,2 and 1 in turn during TCI of propofol,the bispectral index (BIS),AI and corresponding Ce were recorded.Results The correlation coefficients of BIS,AI and Ce levels with the OAA/S scores were rBIS-OAA/S =0.962,rAI-OAA/S =0.960 and rce-OAA/S =-0.795,respectively (P<0.05).The correlation coefficients of BIS and AI with the Ce of propofol were rBIs-ce =-0.736 and rAI-Ce =-0.737,respectively (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between rBIS-OAA/s and rAI-oAA/S,and between rBIS-Ce and rAI-Ce (P> 0.05).Conclusion AI can accurately monitor the depth of sedation induced by propofol in adult patients without noxious stimuli and there is no significant change in the accuracy in comparison with BIS.

Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2017;23(28):3654-3657
Objective To summarize the changes of conditions and nursing experience on immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) among 11 HIV/AIDS patients during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).Methods A total of 11 HIV/AIDS patients diagnosed and treated at Zhejiang Youth Hospital were selected from February 2012 to March 2017. This nursing care included enhancing the condition observation among patients in the early HAART, carrying out mental and behavior nursing well, paying attention to condition education, improving treatment compliance, emphasizing medication nursing, completing basic nursing well, preventing the nursing related complications and avoiding occupational exposure.Results The treatment compliance of 10 in 11 patients with IRIS improved along with satisfactory treatment effect after receiving hormone plus, HAART, psychological-cognitive-behavioral nursing and so on. There was one patient who died along with adults respiratory distress syndrome, acute renal failure and incorrigible acidosis because pulmonary infection could not be controlled.Conclusions Nursing care play an important role in IRIS among HIV/AIDS patients with HAART. It is worth to be used widely in clinical application.

Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture on the expression of cortical solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),glutathione(GSH)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)in rats with post stroke spasticity(PSS),and to explore the mechanism of electroacupuncture in the treatment ferrozosis in PSS.Methods:Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into sham group,model group and electroacupuncture group.A modified Zea-Longa wire bolus+internal capsule injection NMDA method was used to produce a rat model of PSS.In the electroacupunc-ture group,the affected side of Yanglingquan and Quchi were needled once/day for 30 min/time for 7 d.In the sham group and the model group,only fixation without intervention was performed during the same period.Zea-Longa Neuro-logical Function Score was used to detect the neurological function of rats,electrophysiological tracing method was used to detect the muscle tone of rat quadriceps,Western Blot was used to detect the protein expression of rat cortical SLC7A11 and GPX4,Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the GSH content of rat cortex,and real time RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA of rat cortical SLC7A11 and GPX4 mRNA expression.Results:Neurological function scores were elevated;quadriceps muscle tone was increased;GSH content was decreased;the protein expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 was significantly decreased;the expression of SLC7A11 mRNA and GPX4 mRNA was significantly decreased.Electroacupuncture treatment resulted in lower neurological function scores,lower quadriceps muscle tone,increased GSH content in rat cortex,significantly up-regulated protein expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4,and significantly increased expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 mRNA.Conclusion:Electroacupuncture on"Yanglingquan"and"Quchi"could improve limb spasticity and promote the recovery of neurological function in PSS rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis of cortical cells by electroacupuncture regulating the SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression.
