Objective: To investigate the application of conventional ultrasound and 16-slice CT examination in clinical diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia. Methods: To choose 94 cases patients were receiving treatment in our hospital who were diagnosed as hepatic focal lesion through percutaneous biopsy of hepatocyte or histopathological examination of postoperation, and then take conventional ultrasound and 16-slice CT, respectively, to detect them. To compare and analyze the two methods in series of indicator, such as accuracy, the number of lesion size and the imageology character. Results: Conventional ultrasound diagnosis of benign tumor lesions was consistent with spiral CT results, and the difference was not statistical significance (x2=0.5556, P>0.05). The accuracy of spiral CT for hepatic carcinoma was higher than that of conventional ultrasound, and the difference was significant (x2=8.1987, P<0.05). The consistent rate of the spiral CT group with real result for micro-miniature carcinoma (the diameter less than 1 cm) was higher than that of conventional ultrasound group, and their difference was significant (x2=14.4028, P<0.05). The disappear and persist time of hepatic carcinoma patients were longer than that of non-hepatic carcinoma patients, and the difference between them was significant (t=9.7531, P<0.05). Conclusion: It is higher accuracy that 16-spiral CT can diagnose malignancy lesions in earlier stage.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:Medication error(ME)cases report-ed from outpatient department from Oct. 2014 to Sept. 2015 in our hospital were analyzed,including ME category,classification, cause and proportion of persons who triggered or detected ME. RESULTS:Among 207 reports,there was no case of category A, 199 cases of category B,8 cases of category C,no of categories D-I. Among them,162 cases occurred in the links of prescrip-tions by doctors (78.26%),45 cases (21.74%) occurred in the links of dispensing prescriptions by pharmacists,the top 3 ME were improper usage(42.59%),improper administration route(40.74%)and inappropriate solvent(5.56%);the top 3 dispensing errors were variety error(40.00%),specification error(28.89%)and number errors(24.44%). The main causes for prescription errors were incomplete information system(56.17%)and drug information missing of doctors(43.83%);the main causes for dis-pensing errors were double specifications of drugs(35.56%),similar drug name(28.89%)and staffsntired(26.67%). In terms of the persons who triggered ME,the proportions of pharmacists,nurses,patients or their families were 97.58%,1.45% and 0.97%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Further strengthening information system and the on-the-job training for physicians and pharmacists can reduce the ME to some extent.

Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on the social support and compliance of parents of severe β-Mediterranean anemia children. Methods A total of 100 cases of Mediterranean anemia children’s parents were surveyed with the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and self-made compliance questionnaires, the investigation was performed before the intervention,6 months, 1 year after the intervention. Results The scores of objective support, subjective support and supporting availability after the intervention were all higher than those before intervention (F=269.04, 125.12, 243.04, all P<0.01). In the pairwise comparison tests, the ranks of objective support score and subjective support score were:1 year after intervention>6 months after intervention>before intervention (P<0.01);the score of supporting availability was lower than the scores of 6 months and 1 year after intervention (P<0.01). The compliance of blood transfusion on time and taking deferoxamine on time before and after the interventions had statistical meanings (Hc=100.40,70.53, all P<0.01). In the pairwise comparison tests, the compliance score before intervention was lower than the score after intervention (P < 0.01). Conclusions Nursing intervention can improve the social support and compliance of the parents with severe Mediterranean anemia children.

Objective:To illuminate a method for establishment of a cost-efficient atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model by topical application of ovalbumin (OVA),super-antigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB),and calcipotriene ointment (CO) on the back of BALB/c mice.Methods:Experimental mice were topically treated with OVA/SEB or OVA/SEB/CO every other day during 15 days of induction.Clinical alterations on the skin area were monitored every other day.Epidermal thickness were measured by reflectance confocal microscope (RCM) before harvest.Inflammatory cells in skin biopsies were marked by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.Blood sample and skin biopsies were measured by ELISA and quantitative real-time PCR to detect the expression of IL-2,IL-4,IL-31,interferon (IFN)-γ,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α pruritus-associated nerve growth factor (NGF),and serum IgE.Results:Human AD-like cutaneous local inflammatory reaction was characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory cells,increased epidermal thickness and serum IgE levels as well as Th1 cell-associated cytokines (IFN-γ,TNF-α),Th2 cell-associated cytokines (IL-4,IL-31),and NGF in the OVA/SEB/CO group compared with that in the normal control group or the OVA/ SEB group.Conclusion:OVA/SEB/CO can induce an AD-like mouse model with lower economic and time consumption.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the awareness of occupational low back pain and knowledge of related prevention and healthcare measures among midwives, and to determine the incidence of low back pain among them.

METHODSA questionnaire survey was carried out with the use of Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (Chinese version) (CRMDQ) among 244 midwives from second- and third-class hospitals in Tianjin, China. Related indices were statistically analyzed.

RESULTSAmong 244 midwives who participated in the survey, only 18.4% knew the definition of occupational low back pain, 28.3% knew the pathogenic mechanism, and 54.1% knew its harm. About 9.4%∼85.2% of midwives mastered at least one method for prevention and health care against occupational low back pain. Proper or improper use of human body mechanics was closely related to the development of occupational low back pain (P < 0.01). There was a high proportion of midwives with a demand for application of human body mechanics principle in operation, and the proportion was as high as 99.2%. All the 24 items in CRMDQ were scored, with the lowest score of 1, the highest score of 24, and an average score of 8.5 ± 7.2.

CONCLUSIONThe awareness rate of occupational low back pain was low among the 244 midwives in this study. The incidence of low back pain, which had influenced the health status and occupational practice, was high among them.
