China Pharmacy 2016;27(30):4212-4214
OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of Sodium hyaluronate versus Carbomer,Polyethylene glycol,To-bramycin and Dexamethasone in the treatment of glaucoma with cataract. METHODS:464 glaucoma patients with cataract were randomly divided into group A(116 cases),group B(116 cases),group C(116 cases)and group D(116 cases). All patients re-ceived intraocular lens implantation;1-1.5 cm to Tramycin and Dexamethasone eye ointment,3-5 times a day. Based on it,group A received 1-2 Sodium hyaluronate eye drops,4 times a day. Group B received 1 Carbomer eye drop,3-5 times a day. Group C re-ceived 1-2 Polyethylene glycol eye drops,3-5 times a day. Group D received Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment,1-1.5 cm every times,1-3 times a day. They treated for 1 month. Clinical efficacy,recovery of visual acuity and ocular surface functions [dry eye symptom score,tear film break-up time(BUT),corneal fluorescein staining(CFS),basal tear secretion(SIt),ocular sur-face disease index(OSDI)] and the incidence of adverse reactions in all groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate sorted,patients with visual acuity higher than 0.6,BUT,OSDI by group A>group B>group C>group D,with significant differenc-es (P<0.05). patients with visual acuity in 0.3-0.6,0.1-0.3 and lower than 0.1,drycye symptom score,CFS,SIt in group A was less than group B,which was less than group C and group D,with significant differences(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse re-actions in group A was lower than group B,C,D,with significant differences(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in group B,C,D(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Sodium hyaluronate shows superior efficacy and safety to Carbomer,Polyethylene glycol,Tobramycin and Dexamethasone in the treatment of glaucoma with cataract,it can significantly improve visual acuity and ocular surface function.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and the curative effects of interventional therapy by spiral CT in rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods 46 patients were checked by spiral CT and abdominal puncture of non-condensable blood. All the patients were treated by the transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with iodinated oil and/or gelatin sponge. Results Characteristic findings were detected in 31 patients,of which 7 patients were chiefly detected by spiral CT. The bleeding of ruptured HCCs was controlled effectively in all the cases treated by TAE without serious complications. Conclusion Spiral CT is susceptive to the diagnosis of the ruptured HCC. TAE can be the chiefly treatment in ruptured HCC with fewer serious complications.

Objective To investigate the practice status of the newNursing practice standards for intravenous therapy in secondary and above hospitals in Shandong province. Methods Self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 3051 nurses from 129 hospitals in 17 cities in Shandong province. Results Nurses′ awareness rate of the new Nursing practice standards for intravenous therapy was 92.69%(2828/3051);92.13%(2811/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals used the new standard, 65.78%(2007/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals had applied the standard since the second half of 2014; 92.92% (2835/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals had revised their practice rules according to the new standard;93.54%(2854/3051) nurses reported that their hospitals had revised the related nursing process; 50.08% (1528/3051) nurses thought the new standard helpful to clinical practice;22.98%(701/3051) nurses knew well about the new standard;53.85%(1643/3051) nurses thought the standard applicable to clinical practice. Conclusions As nurses do not master the Nursing practice standards for intravenous therapy well, they need strengthened training. Hospitals should fresh their rules, protocolsand supply training program to improve nurses′ knowledge and skill. Meanwhile, Nursing practice standards for intravenous therapyalso needs to be revised and improved according to nurses feedback.
