A biodegradable modified guar gum microsphere was prepared for the first time by ionic gelation of the guar gum derivative containing quarternary ammonium group with tripolyphosphate at room temperature in the absence of emulsifying agent or organic solvent. Its average particle diameter was about 140 microm and the particle size had a narrow and normal gauss distribution. From the loading experiment of bovine serum album (BSA) with various concentrations, it was found that the encapsulation efficiency is more than 80%. By the investigation of in vitro release from the BSA-loaded microsphere, it was found that the BSA had a continuous release for more than 6 hours and the release percentage was affected by the initial concentration of the BSA and temperature.

Objective To investigate the application and effect of bundle nursing intervention combining with ventilator pipeline disinfection in the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods A total of 100 cases who had not received bundle nursing intervention combining with ventilator pipeline disinfection in ICU ward,Cangzhou Central Hospital between February 2012 to January 2014 were treated as control group,while another 100 cases who had received bundle nursing intervention combining with ventilator pipeline disinfection in the same ward from February 2014 to January 2016 were treated as observation group. Incidence of VAP,length of mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay of two groups were compared. Results In different models of nursing care,incidence rate of VAP of the observation group and the control group were 9.0% and 24.0%(χ2=3.52,P < 0.05);length of mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay of the observation group were (4.62±2.10) d and (7.30±1.30) d which were shorter than those of the control group (t=2.40,19.30;P < 0.05). Conclusions Bundle nursing intervention combining with ventilator pipeline disinfection could lower the incidence of VAP,shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation time,ICU stay and improve patients' satisfication which is worthy of application in clinic.
