Errors and flaws of clinical nursing practice can be fully exposed to voluntary reporting system of nursing errors, and then dramatically improving patient safety. This paper aims at exploring the theoretical basis, the characteristic of the system and essentiality for establishing voluntary reporting system of nursing errors, introducing the methods practicing both in abroad and in domestic, explaining its precondition and put forward a suggestion that the voluntary reporting system would be established in our own country.

Zoonoses are a class of infectious diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans. More than 200 known types of zoonoses have been reported across the world until now. Among 1 400 pathogens of human infectious diseases, approximately 61% are zoonotic origin, and 75% human emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses. These zoonoses pose a great threat to human and animal health and decrease livestock production. To effectively tackle the persistent challenges resulting from zoonoses, WHO collaborates with member governments, academia, non-governmental and charitable organizations, and regional and international partners to prevent and manage zoonotic threats and their public health, social and economic impacts. Although great success has been achieved in the management of zoonoses, there are still multiple challenges for zoonoses control in China due to environmental, climate, socioeconomic factors and antimicrobial resistance. Based on the One Health concept, the integration of modern biological, information, artificial intelligent and big data tools through multidisciplinary and multi-sectorial collaborations may facilitate the containment and elimination of zoonoses.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Blumea balsamifera (BBE) residue on treating rats of adjuvant arthritis (AA) and its mechanism.

METHODThe rats were immunized with the Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). After modeling, 28 days' treatment with BBE was performed. During the experimental process, rat mass, toe girth, arthritic index (AI), proliferation of immune organs and pathological section were measured. After treatment, blood samples were collected through fossa orbitalis vein for detection of serum SOD, MDA, GSH, NO, OH*, ALP, AST, ALT, NAG and SA content using colorimetric method and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α content using ELISA method.

RESULTAdministration with BBE (high dose) could significantly ameliorate joint swelling and arthritis index, effectively inhibit synovial hyperplasia, down-regulate the levels of MDA, NO, OH*, ALP, AST, ALT, NAG, SA, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and up-regulate the SOD and GSH levels in serum.

CONCLUSIONThe results suggested BBE possesses substantial anti-arthritis and antioxidant activities.

Objective To measure the daily nursing workload by simplified therapeutic intervention scoring system and provide information for reasonable dynamic management of nursing manpower and improving nursing service satisfaction of patients in elderly ICU.Methods 113 patients in elderly ICU were selected from July 2012 to June 2013.The Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System 28(TISS-28) was used to measure the nursing workload,reasonably arranged the nursing staff according to the daily total nursing workload.The average daily working time and service satisfaction were compared before and after the application of dynamic management of nursing manpower.Results After the application of dynamic management of nursing manpower,the average daily working time of nurses decreased,satisfactory degree of patients with nursing service increased,and satisfactory degree of medical workers with nursing manpower management also increased.Conclusions Measurement of nursing workload by TISS-28 can provide the basis for the dynamic management of nursing manpower in elderly ICU and improve satisfaction degree of medical workers.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics and prognosis of visual field of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) with G11778A mutation.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. Twenty-two (44 eyes) of LHON patients diagnosed with G11778A site mutation by mt-DNA examination from May 2008 to February 2018 in Ophthalmology Department of Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for record. The thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in the 200μm×200μm annular region 1.73 mm outside the optic disc was measured by OCT. At least 7 visual field examinations were performed within one month before and after 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 and 30 months of the course of disease by using Octopus 101 perimetry. Among 44 eyes, 27 eyes were detected with G2 procedure (G2 group) and 17 eyes were detected with LVC procedure (LVC group). The mean field defect (MD) and mean optical sensitivity (MS) were used as the main outcome indexes. According to the onset age, the patients were further divided into the ≤14 years old group and>14 years old group. There was a significant difference in initial logMAR BCVA between the G2 group and LVC group ( t=4.994, P=0.000), but there was no significant difference in gender ( χ2=1.896, P=0.169) and age ( t=0.337, P=0.708) between the two groups. Independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups, paired t test was used for comparison within groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups. The statistical data were compared by χ2 test. Results:In the G2 group, the MD value of the subgroup of children (≤14 years old) decreased gradually during the follow-up period, and the MD value since 18 months after onset was significantly lower than the value of 2 months after onset ( t=3.813, 4.590, 5.033; P=0.002, 0.001, 0.000). No obvious visual field index changes were seen in other subgroups ( P>0.05). The central scotoma was the most common type of visual field defect in the early stage, and the diffuse defect was the most common type of visual field defect in the late stage. There was a significant difference in the types of visual field distribution between the early and late stage in G2 group ( χ2=17.414, P=0.015). There was no significant difference in the type of visual field distribution between the early and late stage in LVC group ( χ2=4.541, P=0.474). The MD value in the G2 group remained stable within 8 months after onset, but significantly improved after 18 months after onset ( t=2.100, 3.217, 3.566; P=0.046, 0.003, 0.001). The MS in the LVC group did not significantly improve during follow-up ( P>0.05). The average visual acuity of the G2 group was significantly improved from 12 months ( t=3.039, 3.678, 4.264, 5.078; P=0.008, 0.002, 0.001, 0.000). The visual acuity of the eyes in the G2 group was better than that of the LVC group during all follow-up periods ( P≤0.05). The RNFL thickness of all patients continued to decrease after onset, but the RNFL thickness was significantly higher at 4, 8, 18, 24, 30 months in the G2 group than those in the LVC group ( t=2.471, 2.269, 2.474, 2.509, 2.782; P=0.018, 0.028, 0.017, 0.016, 0.008). Conclusions:The main types of visual field defect of LHON with G11778A mutation are the central scotoma in the early stage, while the diffuse defect and central scotoma are both very common in the later stage. The visual field of LHON patients examined by G2 procedure is significantly improved during the follow-up, as well as the visual acuity improved significantly, and the visual field improvement in younger cases (≤14 years old) is better than that of older cases (>14 years old), but the visual field of the LVC procedure cases did not improve during follow-up.
