ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and severity of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) through measuring the level of serum Hey in the patients with ACS.Methods95 patients who were diagnosed ACS were divided into two groups:40 cases of unstable angina(UA) and 55 cases of a cute myocardial infarction(AMI).30 individuals were chosen as normal control(NC).In addition,according to the results of coronary angiography,the same 95 patients were further divided into three subgroups which were single-vessel disease( 28cases),double-vessel disease ( 36cases ) and multi-vessel disease ( 31 cases ).Level of serum Hcy was measured in all groups.ResultsSerum Hcy level of ACS patients was significantly higher than NC group( P ＜ 0.01 ).The level of serum Hcy in AMI group was significantly higher than that in UA group( P ＜ 0.05 ).The Hcy level in the multi-vessel disease group,double-vessel disease group and single-vessel disease group were increased in turn,and the difference of pairwise comparison was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe serum Hcy level has rela tionship with the severity of coronary lesions and is directly proportional to the number of coronary artery lesions.The result suggests that the level of serum Hcy maybe play an important role in the prevention,diagnosis,treatment and monitoring of ACS.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive nursing intervention on the secondary infection in chemotherapy of elderly patients with lung cancer.Methods 168 cases of elderly lung cancer patients whose neutrophil ≤ 1.0×109/L during chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups,namely,the intensive care group and the control group,with 84 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing of infection prevention,while the intensive care group was given intensified nursing for infection prevention.A contrastive analysis was conducted in terms of the incidence,clinical characteristics and the duration of antibiotic treatment of the two groups of patients with secondary infection.Results The secondary infection rate of the intensive care group was lower than that of the control group during chemotherapy.What's more,the duration of fever and treatment of the intensive care group was shorter than that of the control group,hence the patients were safe during infection period.The difference was statistically significant.Conclusions Strengthening the nursing intervention can reduce the incidence rate of secondary infection in aged patients with lung cancer,increase the tolerance of patients to chemotherapy and ensure the successful completion of the chemotherapy cycle,prolong the life span of the patients with an improved quality of life.

Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (Anammox) is one of the important discoveries in the field of environmental microbiology, and it plays an indispensible role in the nitrogen removal from wastewaters and the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. Through review research progress in anaerobic ammonia oxidation, an Anammox special issue is published so as to find problems, explore applications and outlook developments. The special issue consists of reviews and original papers, mainly involving in the following aspects: i) enrichment of Anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria (AnAOB); ii) community analysis of AnAOB; iii) preservation of granular AnAOB sludge; iv) effect of organic matter on Anammox; v) application of Anammox process, etc.

Objective To investigate the application effect of intensified nursing intervention in severe pneumonia complicated with ventilator-associated pneumonia. Methods 78 senile patients admitted to hospital with severe pneumonia complicated with ventilator-associated pneumonia from November 2009 to November 2010 were chosen as the research object.They were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 39 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional and comprehensive methods of care.The observation group was taken intensified intervention on the basis of the control group.The utility time of ventilator after complication with ventilator-associated pneumonia,hospital stay time,complications and mortality rate for the two groups were compared. Results The utility time of ventilator,hospital stay time,complications and mortality rate for the two groups were compared.The observation group had a clear advantage over the control group,there was significant difference. Conclusions Nursing intervention can be targeted to enhance the improvement of the overall respiratory status in severe pneumonia complicated with ventilator-associated pneumonia.It contributes to inflammation control,and can reduce utility time of ventilator and length of hospital stay,reduce the corresponding incidence of complications and mortality rate,it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the causes of the postoperative complications from partial splenic cmbolization (PSE) and make the nursing measures.Methods 18 patients with secondary hypersplenism due to posthepatitic cirrhosis and portal hypertension,5F RH type or Cobra catheter was placed selectively into splenic artery through femoral artery by DSA fluoroscopy.60～120 masses of 1 mm×1 mm×1 mm gelfoam mixed with antibiotic and conmist medium were injected fractionally.The routine blood test,hepatic function,serum amylase,urinary amylase,Bmode ultrasonic or CT scan on spleen were tested regularly in week 1,week 2,week 3,week 4 and half-year after PSE.Results The Postoperative Complicatiorm iuchded fever,abdom inal pain,pleural effusion,ascites pertinacions hiccup,splenic abscess impairment of liver and renal function,portal thrombosis left-lower pneumonia and so on.Conclusion Mastering the causes of the complications related to PSE and giving accurate nursing in time may decrease or avoid the incidence of complications and increase the succeas ratio of operation.

Objective To explore the relation between sealed tube method and retention time of intravenous catheter system . Methods Adopt direct injection seal-tube method, saline injection seal-tube method and heparin liquid seal-tube method with common intravenous catheter were adopted the intravenous catheter's retention time and incidence of phlebitis were observed. Results The retention time in direct injection seal-tube group and saline injec-tion seal-tube group respectively prolonged of 25.7% and 19. 3% compared with heparin liquid seal-tube group.There was significant difference (P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 05) through statistical analysis. But there was no significant differ-ence(P 0. 05) between direct injection seal-tube group and saline injection seal-tube group in retention time. Theincidence of phlebitis in both direct injection seal-tubo group and saline injection seal-tube group were below to the heparin liquid seal-tube group. There was significant difference(P 0. 05) in the three groups. But there was no sig-nificant difference(P 0. 05) between direct injection seal-tube group and saline injection seal-tube group in the inci-dence of phlebitis. Conclusion Direct injection seal-tube method and saline injection seal-tube method can signifi-cantly extend intravenous catheter's retention time and reduce the incidence of phlebitis.
