Objective To evaluate the effects of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution on serum glucose, pancreas islet function and inflammatory response in elderly patients after abdominal operation.Methods It was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded and controlled trial. Totally 40 elderly patients after abdominal operation who met the defined criteria were enrolled. The subjects in study group were administered with 1000 ml carbohydrate-electrolyte solution intravenously in consecutive three days since 1st or 2nd postoperative day. Control group was administered with 1000 ml of 10% glucose on the same method. The changes of serum glucose, insulin, C-peptide and inflammatory response cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α, CRP) were detected before and after injection.Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was observed.Results All the 40 patients completed the study according to the study protocol. The incremental rate of serum glucose was significantly lower in study group than in control group on the 2nd and 3rd day after administration [(4.40±2.58) mmol/L vs. (14.97±3.44) mmol/L, t=2.984, P=0.008; (2.70± 1.55) mmol/L vs. (8.11± 2.60) mmol/L, t= 5.659, P= 0.000]. The changes of insulin and C-peptide of two group were similar before and after operation. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower in study group than in control group on the 3rd day after administration[IL-6: (21.76±10.40) ng/Lvs. (50.17±35.24) ng/L, t=-2.447, P=0.034; TNF-α:(23.92±14.89) ng/L vs. (51.48±42.81) ng/L, t=-2.268, P=0.043]. In study group, 6 cases experienced SIRS and 4 cases had infective complications, but in control group the numbers were 8 and 6 respectively.Conclusions Appropriate application of carbohydrate-electrolyte solution intravenously has relatively mild effects on serum glucose and inflammatory response cytokine in elderly patients after abdominal operation, it decreases incidence of SIRS and maybe decrease infective complications.

Objective To study the application effect of quality control circle(QCC)in reducing the dissatisfaction rate of physical examination clients in health management center.Methods To establish QCC,selected the health check-up popula-tion in our hospital in September-2019 and March-2020,through the questionnaire investigation and analysis,compare the dis-satisfaction of the clients before and after the quality control circle.Results After carrying out QCC activities,the dissatisfaction of physical examination clients was significantly lower than that before QCC,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The activities of QCC in the health management center can effectively improve the quality of the physical examination work and reduce the dissatisfaction of the customers in the physical examination.It is of great significance to the health management.
