Objective To analyze the level of satisfaction and its influencing factors in emergency patients, and to improve the satisfaction level of emergency patients. Methods The patients who visited the emergency department with the triage number ended with 1 from August 1 to August 15, 2015 in Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected by the method of convenience and equidistant sampling, to take the Press Ganey′s Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires which were collected and analyzed at the end of the patient's emergency treatment. Results A total of 200 cases were investigated. Patient experience overall satisfaction was (91.64 ± 8.74) points. There were no significant differences in satisfaction between the gender, age, place of residence, the investigator, the clinic department, the time to wait, whether the first visit and the previous stay in hospital (P>0.05). The correlation between the satisfaction score and the patient's education, prognosis was less (r=-0.251,0.262, P =0.009,0.018) , but more higher correlated with the service attitude of ancillary hospital staff, nursing staff in the provision of nursing instructions, nursing staff can protect the privacy, the waiting time of the triage and the doctor′s explanation of the treatment of the disease (r=0.79-0.84, P<0.05). Conclusions The service attitude of the ancillary hospital staff, nursing staff in the provision of care instructions and privacy protection, and the waiting time of the triage and the doctor′s explanation of the treatment are the most important factors influencing the patients′ satisfaction in emergency department which also will be the key content for us to improve the patients′experience and satisfaction inemergency patients.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of treatment?resistant depression ( TRD) and of its relevance with thyroid hormones. Methods 43 patients with TRD and 48 patients with non?TRD were as?sessed with 17?item Hamilton depression scale ( HAMD?17) and Hamilton anxiety scale ( HAMA) . The serum lev?el of thyroid?stimulating hormone ( TSH) ,total triodothgronine ( TT3) ,total thyroxine ( TT4) ,free triodothgronine ( FT3) and free thyroxine ( FT4) were determined by radioimmunoassay. χ2 test and t test were used for statistic a?nalysis. The quantitative relation of FT3 level with TRD was analyzed and the value of FT3 level in TRD diagnosis was evaluated by ROC curve.Results Compared with non?TRD patients,the TRD patients showed a younger dis?ease onset age ((16.98±2.25)years vs (23.50±3.38)years) and a longer disease course ((10.14±6.47)years vs (5.48±4.15)years) for total disease course;(60.35±23.64)months vs (5.00±3.40)months for current disease course),and had shorter education years ((8.53±1.72)years vs (11.04±2.07)years) and higher HAMD total scores (19.09±1.59 vs 15.69±2.38) and behavior retarding factor scores (8.72±0.98 vs 4.98±1.63). In addition, the FT3 level of TRD patients was lower than that of non?TRD patients ((3.92±0.15)pmol/L vs (4.16±0.20) pmol/L).All the above differences between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The logistic regres?sion analysis showed that the risk of suffering TRD increased by 1. 006?fold when FT3 level reduced 0. 1 pmol/L (OR=2.006,95%CI=(1.501,2.681). The area under ROC curve was 0.821 (P<0.001) with its 95% confidence interval of (0.734,0.907). Conclusion Compared with non?TRD patients,TRD patients have a longer disease course,a younger disease onset age, a lower education level, higher HAMD total scores, more severe retardation symptoms,and a lower FT3 level. The serum FT3 level has a high reference value in diagnosis of TRD.

Objective:To investigate the changes in gut microbiota diversity with age in elderly people using high-throughput sequencing.Methods:Ninety healthy volunteers were recruited. People who were <60 years old (middle-aged group) were set up as a baseline control group (Age A group), while those aged ≥60 years old were further divided into four groups (60-<70: Age B group, 70-<80: Age C group, 80-<90: Age D group, ≥90: Age E group). Fecal samples were collected to extract DNA. The second-generation sequencing technology was used to amplify and sequence the V3-V4 hypervariable region of 16S rDNA. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to compare the differences in gut microbiota and functional genes among groups.Results:At the phylum level, gut microbiota were composed mainly of Firmicute, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria in different groups. The proportion of Firmicute was the highest, accounting for over 60%, followed by that of Bacteroidetes. At the genus level, the abundance of Faecalibacterium genus decreased with age. The α diversity analysis showed that the gut microbiota in the elderly of different ages had higher abundance and uniformity, and there was no significant difference among groups. However, the β diversity analysis showed that in community structure there was difference between Age A and Age B groups, and similarity between Age B and Age C groups. Conclusions:The community structure of gut microbiota changed significantly between young and middle-aged people and the elderly over 60 years old. It tended to be relatively stable in people of 60-80 years old, but changed again when they were over 80 years old. Chronic inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases and tumors in the elderly might be associated with the decrease in Faecalibacterium.
