Objective To improve the surgical outcomes and decrease the complication rate through ac-tive and effective nursing care in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) treated by posterior surgery. Methods Detailed psychological assessment, nursing care preoperafion, close observation postoperation, early prevention of the complications, active rehabilitation training were given to 34 cases of DIS patients surgically treated and effect of good clinical nursing on rehabilitation of patients was observed. Results All 34 patients with DLS had good recovery after posterior surgery, no complication occuned because of inappropriate nusing care. Conclusions Elevating nursing care levels of patients with DLS has a significant sense on improving the clinical outomes, decrease the complications and accelerate patients' rehabilitation.

Objective To observe the effect and difference to C-reactive protein(CRP) and vascular cell ad- hesion molecule.1 (VCAM-1), for indicator of inflammainfarction and blood lipid level in acute cerebral( ACI) pa- tients treated with atorvastatin and discuss the impact of early treatment of ACI using statin. Methods 90 ACI in- patients were randomly divided into two groups:one group treated with atorvastatin and the other was not treated with atorvastatin. Their blood levels of TG, TC, LDL-ch, HDL-ch, CRP and VCAM-1 were compared before hospi- talization and on discharge. Results Comparing before admission and on discharge, the blood level of CRP and VCAM-1 were reduced markedly in both group,the blood CRP and VCAM-1 of the former reduced significantly in atorvastatin treatment group and compared with that of the latter on discharge(P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The blood CRP and VCAM-1 level reduced markedly in ACI patients treated with atorvastatin,which suggests that atorvastatin has strong anti-inflammatory effect.

Objective To investigate the incidences of malnutrition (including undernutrition, overweight, and obesity) and abdominal obesity in elderly type 2 diabetes. Methods Totally, 133 elderly type 2 diabetes patients [study group, aged (66.9 5±.4) years] and 133 age-matched healthy subjects [control group, aged (66. 3 ±5.8) years] who met entry criteria and obtained informed consent were randomly enrolled into this study. Body weight, total body fat (TBF), abdominal fat, visceral fat, visceral fat area, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were measured by multi-frequency bioelectric impedance analysis. The incidences of undernutrition, overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity judged by BMI and WHR respectively were compared between the two groups. Results Com- pared to control group, BMI [(25.7 3.8) vs. (24.2 2.2) kg/m2, P = 0.001 ], TBF [ (20.1±6.9) vs. (17.4 5.0) kg, P = 0.001], WHR (0. 92±0.10 vs. 0.87±0.06, P =0.001), abdominal fat [(10.2 3.4) vs. (8.6 2.5)kg, P= 0.001], visceral fat [(2.7±0.9) w. (2.3 0.7)kg, P =0.001 ], and visceral fat area [ (89.1±28. 8) vs. (75. 7±21. 6) cm2, P =0.001 ] significantly increased in study group. The incidences of undernutrition (BMI<18.5, 3.8% vs. 0, P=0.024) and obesity (BMI^28.0, 26.3% vs. 6.0%, P = 0.001) judged by BMI Chinese standard in study group were significantly higher than those in control group. The incidences of "over-TBF" (52. 1% vs. 34. 1% , P =0.023) and abdominal obesity in males of study group (83.6% vs. 67.1% , P =0. 017) were significantly higher than those in control group. Conclusion Measurement and control of TBF, waist circumference, and abdominal and visceral fats should be emphasized in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Toxoplasma infection and schizophrenia by comparing the clinical symptoms between the antitoxoplasma-seropositive and seronegative patients with schizophrenia.Methods: Six hundred cases of first-episode schizophrenia were examined the serum reactivity to IgG antitoxoplasma antibody by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). And the clinical symptoms of the schizophrenic patients were scored by use of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Results: Compared to IgG-seronegative schizophrenia, IgG-seropositive schizophrenia group was higher in the positive subscale score, the positive component score, the excitement component score, and the cognitive component score(20.8?4.2与19.4?3.4,P

Objective To summarize the experience of perioperatively nursing patients with Hirschsprung’s disease after laparoscopic-assisted improved Soave operation to improve nursing experience.Method Psychological nursing to both patients and their families,well-planned preoperative preparation,postoperative nutritional support and perineal nursing were done.Result Sixty-six patients got recovered and discharged except one who quitted treatment.Conclusion Careful nursing before and after operation is critical for the prevention of complications and successful manipulation of aparoscopic-assisted improved Soave operation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of soluble thrombomdulin (sTM)、endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) in patients with renal transplantation and reject reaction.Methods:The plasma levels of sTM, sEPCR and vWF were successively determined by double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunoadsordent assay (ELISA) in 42 patients with renal transplantation and reject reaction, and were compared with normal groups.Results:The levels of sTM, sEPCR and vWF in postoperative of renal transplantation patients were higher than those in preoperative ( P 0 05). In patients with renal transplantation, the levels of sTM, sEPCR and vWF each have positive correlation(r=0 595 P

Objective:To study the chemical constituents in methanol parts of Toddalia asiatica ( Linn) Lam. Methods: The compounds were isolated by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatograph and TLC. The structures were elucidated by physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis. Results:Nine compounds were obtained and elucidated as dictamnine(1), hesperetin(2), 4-hydroxy-N-methylproline(3), 8-hydroxy-dihydrochelerythrine(4), hesperetin7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), daucosterol(6), hes-peridin(7), diosmin(8) and neohesperidin(9). Conclusion:Compound 5, 6, 8 and 9 are isolated from the plant for the first time.

Objective To explore the effect of standardized rehabilitation training and acupuncture therapy on knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods One hundred KOA patients were evenly divided into the treatment group and the control group by random digits table.The control group were treated by acupuncture plus general functional exercise guidance and the treatment group by standardized rehabilitation training and treatment for 3 courses(10 d as 1 treatment course).After 3 courses,the two groups were observed in terms of knee joint pain,joint function improvement and clinical curative effect.Result After treatment,the treatment group was significantly better than the control group in terms of knee joint pain,joint function improvement and clinical curative effect(all P<0.05 ).Conclusion The standardized rehabilitation training combined with acupuncture therapy may be effective in the reduction of the knee pain and improvement of knee function for patients with osteoarthritis.

ObjectiveTo explore the death causes and its related factors among psychotic inpatients.MethodsThe medical records of dead psychotic inpatients over recent ten years were investigated with self-designed scheme.ResultsAmong all the investigated cases, the percentage of schizophrenia was more than 50%, the death diagnosis due to somatopathy was over 80%, and more than 50% inpatients suffered from 2～3 kinds of somatopathy. Marital status, diagnosis, smoking and drinking had influenced to the live time of psychotic inpatients.ConclusionThe death of psychotic inpatients might be influenced by multiple causes, including social factors and clinical features which should be paid much attention to extend their live time.
