Objective To explore the prognostic factors in patients with acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in EICU. Method Clinical data of 39 patients admitted to EICU from May 2005 to May 2007 were retrospectivley analyzed. Results In death group, the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) ,creatinine (Cr) ,APACHE-Ⅱ score, and APACHE-Ⅲ score were increased (P < 0. 05) and ICU stays were prolonged (P < 0.05) ; Respiratory rate (RR) and Glasgow coma score (GCS) were decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion PAP, Cr, APACHE-Ⅱ score,APACHE-Ⅲ score,RR and GCS predict the prognosis of the patients with acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

OBJECTIVE:To summarizethe application of polypropylene repair material in treating inguinal hernia.METHODS:Papers regarding polypropylene repair material in treating inguinal hernia published in VIP data between January 1998 and October 2009 were researched using key words of "polypropylene,inguinal hernia,and complication".Inclusion criteria Repairing inguinal hernia using polypropylene materials.Experimental results concerning related complications.Exclusion criteria:repetitive study and relatively old literature.A total of 17 documents were included in this study.RESULTS:Organic polymeric materials were clinical utilized in repairing inguinal hernia at the end of 1950s.The polypropylene patch was knitted by slngle fiber or multi-strands fibers of polypropylene,and exhibited single layer network structures,which is preferred material for repairing abdominal-wall defect.Compared with other unabsorble materials,the polypropylene patch had following advantage:obviously stimulating fibroplasias; easy permeated by fibrous tissues and embedded into tissues; maintaining highly tensile strength following implantation; and relative low cost.Few material-related complications occurred following repairing,mainly presented with infection,serofiuid swelling,ankylenteron,intestinal leakage,material displacement,as well as material shrinkage.CONCLUSION:Polypropylene material is an ideal repair material due to good histocompatibility,few rejections,and anti-infection capability.It leads to easy operation,small trauma,fast recovery and few complications in repairing defects.

Objective To make the surgical therapy of urethral stricture and occlusion more effective. Methods 154 patients treated in our hospital were included in this retrospective study,of these cases,40 cases were in anterior urethra and 114 in posterior part.Based on etiology,106 cases were from trauma,15 from infection and 33 from idiopathic causes.Open surgery was performed on 34 cases and endoscopic therapy on 120 cases. Results All of the anterior urethral cases were treated successfully,among them,18 cases were with open surgery and 22 with endoscopic surgery.Normal urination was achieved on the follow-up from 6 months to 12 months.Within posterior urethral stricture and occlusion situation,open surgery was in 16 cases with 10 cases of normal urination and endoscopic surgery in 98 cases with 92 cases of normal urination.6 cases with open surgery and 5 cases with endoscopy resulted in postoperative dysuria or anuria.Urethral stricture and occlusion were shown in all these unsuccessful operation according to our urethrogram. Conclusions Good result can be achieved by both open and endoscopic surgery in anterior urethral stricture.In case of posterior urethral condition,endoscopic procedure is the best choice.

The cell suspensions prepared from surgically resected hepatoma specimens were used to immunize BALB/c mice and, with the hybridoma technique, a battery of high affinity monoclonal anti-hepatoma antibodies were obtained which were designated HAbl8, Fll, E5 and A10 separately. Immunohistochimical staining showed that the above 4 antibodies possessed good selective reactivity with hepatoma tissue. After radioiodination of Fll, E5, A10, HAbl8 IgG and It's F(ab')_(2) fragments, the labelled reagents were employed for radioimmunoimaging in hepatoma-bearing nude mice and the in vivo detection appeared promising, with tumor/non-tumor ratios being 6.88, 5.14, 5.67, 5.15 and 14.47 respectively. The in vivo localization ablities of the antibodies seemed better compared to other similar findings published elswhere (Dunk AA, 1987). Also, ~(131) I -HAbl8 I gG and its radiolabelled fragments were utilized for radioimmunotherapy in hepatoma-bearing nude mice, with complete response rate and partial response rate being 42%(5/12) and 50% (6/12)respectively. When the HAbl8 conjugate with radioiodine was introduced for the in vivo imaging in hepatoma patients, a positivity rate of 86.5% (45/52)was witnessed, with the smallest tumor foci detected being only 0.5cm in diameter. In the in vivo targeting therapy with the immunoconjugate, a partial response rate of 69.6% (16/23) was obtained. In summary, the antibodies reported here have lended a novel regime for the present comprehensive therapy protocol of hepatoma.

Objective To develop a new method for rapid detection of E.Coli.with a new substrate Na p nitrophenyl ? D glucuronate (PNP Glucu Na). Method The test paper was immersed with of Na p nitrophenyl ? D glucuronate which was synthesized by us and another paper with culture medium and phorphate buffer.Colour change was observed to detect the E.coli.

OBJECTIVE To investigate rate,cause,psychology and prevention of needle-stick injuries among nursing staff.METHODS A retrospective questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of 426 clinical nurses in a hospital.RESULTS Totally 379 nurses(88.97%) suffered from needle-stick injuries with an average of 4.75 times per person annually.The nurses with needle-stick more than 10 times accounted for 6.10%.The main reasons of needle-stick included pulling needles,adding medication,separating needle and so on.CONCLUSIONS Nurse should consolidate them self-protective consciousness.Therefore,it is a very important task of occupational prevention to improve the education of concept of universal precautions,prevent needle stab and reduce the occurrence of blood born diseases.

Objective To compare the analgesic effect, adverse effects of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) vs patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and their influences on stress response in thoracotomy patients. Methods 33 ASA I-II patients undergoing elective esophagectomy were randomly assigned to receive either morphine plus droperidol (Group PCIA, n=17) or morphine plus bupivacaine (Group PCEA, n=16) for 3 days postoperatively. Serum concentrations of cortisol, angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), endothelin (ET) and blood glucose were measured before operation, at the end of the operation and on the next morning after operation. Pain scores with visual analogue scale (VAS) at rest, deep breathing and with cough, and adverse effects were also recorded. Results Blood glucose and cortisol were increased to similar levels in both groups at the end of the operation, but were much lower in Group PCEA postoperatively (P0.05). Pain scores with VAS were much lower in Group PCEA, especially when the patient was at deep breathing or during coughing (P

Objective To compare the analgesic and side effects of tramadol, buprenorphine and morphine in equipotent dosage in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). Methods 53 patients (ASA I-II) scheduled for upper abdominal surgery were randomly allocated to receive 10mg/ml tramadol (group T) or 0.03mg/ml buprenorphine (group B) or 1mg/ml morphine (group M) plus 0.1mg/ml droperidol. Baxter APII PCA pump was used to administer the different analgesic according to the model of LCP, with the amount of loading dose, continuous infusion and bolus of 2.5ml, 0.5ml/h, 1ml respectively. At 4, 8, 16 and 24h postoperatively, pain scores in VAS, comfort scale in BCS, sedation scores with Ramsay score, and the incidences of nausea, vomiting, pruritus, respiratory depression were assessed. Drug consumption in the first 24h and the D/D ratio (demand/deliver) were also recorded. Results VAS and BCS scores showed no significant difference among the 3 groups, but drug consumption within the first 24h and the D/D ratio in group T were higher than those in other 2 groups (P0.05). 8 patients in group T, 5 in group B and 4 in group M suffered from nausea; 1 patient in group T, 2 in group B and 3 in group M complained of pruritus. No respiratory depression was observed in all cases. Conclusion Tramadol and buprenorphine can be safely used as PCIA in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery, but they are not superior to morphine.
