1.The effect of regional culture on the traditional processing of Chinese medicine with the processing of pilose antler as the starting point
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;37(9):772-775
With regard to the traditional processing of pilose antler, two big companies of Chinese Medicine decoction pieces and one private patrimonial TCM clinic were investigated. The result indicates that the processing techniques in these three regions can be found in the ancient books of TCM and belong to the traditional processing of Chinese Medicine, but the processing procedures are different. On the basis of that, starting with the different manifestation forms of regional culture, the author discusses the effect of regional culture on the traditional processing of Chinese Medicine. The research indicates that, different geographical nature environments result in the three specific aspects, which are the specific resources and products, the specific historical culture, and the specific characters. These three specific aspects result in different tools, conventional supplementary materials and techniques of processing, and on the basis of this, different traditional processing schools of Chinese Medicine come into being with different characteristics. Therefore, to protect the traditional processing of Chinese Medicine in different regions has important significance to supplement the deficiencies in Pharmacopoeia of PRC (2010 edition) and the TCM processing standards of different provinces and municipalities, and to bequeath and develop the different characteristics of different processing schools, and it's a full embodiment to carry out the core spirit of National Intangible Cultural Heritage Law.

Objective To study the relationship between carotid artery atherosclerosis and serum C-reactive protein(CRP) in elderly patients with essential hypertension. Methods 100 hypertensive patients(mean age 73?7 years), including 93 males and 7 females were enrolled in this study. Colour Doppler ultrasonography was used to measure intima-media thickness(IMT) and atherosclerotic plaque of carotid arteries. Serum CRP was determined with immunological method. The relationship between the result of ultrasonography and CRP concentration was analyzed. Results CRP concentration was positively correlated with IMT(P

Objective To prepare an occupation well-being scale for nurses, and test its reliability and validity. Methods After literature review and semi-structured interviews, the item pool of the occupation well-being scale for nurses was created based on theory of structure of the subjective well-being. After group discussion, and evaluation by the specialists, a pilot scale was obtained. A total of 350 clinical nurses were selected by using stratified sampling method, and their occupation well-being were surveyed by the scale. The data were used to assess the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The occupation well-being scale for nurses had 3 dimensions, including 8 exploring factors. The values of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient of the total scale, endogenous exogenous satisfaction, satisfaction of nurses occupation happiness were all larger than 0.9, which meaned the internal consistency was good. In the emotion dimension, the value of Cronbach Alpha and the split half reliability coefficient were less than 0.7, which meant the internal consistency was not so good. The reliability coefficient of repeated measurement of the whole scale and each dimension were greater than 0.7, suggesting the external consistency of the scale was good. The content validity index of 3 dimensions were all larger than 0.9,and the cumulative ex-planatory variables were all larger than 55%. Conclusion The occupation well-being scale for nurses proposed in this study has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the occupation well-being of the nurses.

Objective: In acute pancreatitis, traditional treatment insists fasting on purpose to avoid activation of proteolytic enzymes and pancreatic enzyme secretion. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of early oral feeding as compared to traditional fasting in patients with mild acute pancreatitis.Methods: Seventy-two patients were randomized to the two treatment groups, fasting or early oral feeding. The inclusion criteria were pancreas amylase≥3times above normal, onset of abdominal pain within 48h, acute physiological and chronic health evaluation-II score<8 and C-reactive protein(CRP)<150 mg/L. Measures were amylase, systemic inflammatory response, length of hospital stay. Results: The groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, etiology, APACHE II, time from onset of pain and amylase at admission. No significant differences were seen between the groups concerning levels of amylase, CRP, leukocytes, abdominal pain or number of gastrointestinal symptoms. The length of hospital stay time was significantly shorter in the oral feeding group (13 vs. 17 days; P<0.05).Conclusion: Early oral feeding would not exacerbate disease process. The differences between treatment groups for amylase or systemic inflammatory response were not obvious. In mild acute pancreatitis, early oral feeding was feasible and safe and may accelerate recovery.

Objective To investigate acquired carbapenemases and prevalence of carbapenem- resistant gram-negative bacill.Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by agar dilution method.Metallo-B-lactamase(MBLs)were screened by EDTA-disk synergy tesL The encoding genes of MBLs were amplified by PCR followed by sequencing.Strain homology Was investigated by pulsed-field gel electronphoresis(PFGE).Results In 141 carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa), there were three resistant patterns which were imipenem(IMP)-resistant+meropenem(MEM)-resistant (66.7%),IMP-resistant+MEM-sensitive(32.6%),and IMP-resistant+MEM-sensitive(0.7%).AⅡthe carbapenem-resistan Acinetobacter baumannii(A.baumannii),Acinetobacter lwoffi(A.lwoffi),Citrobactor freundii(C.freundii),Klebsielta pneumoniac(K.pneumoniac)and Serratia were resistant to imipenem and meropenem.Four strains of 141 P.aeruginosa were positive by EDTA-disk synergy test,and they produced VIM-2-type Metallo-B-1actamase.Of 34 carbapenem-resistan A.baumannii,30 strains produced OXA-tllrpe.Among them, OXA23, OXA24 and OXA66 accounted for 79.4%,38.2% and 67.6%,respectively.And 22 of 34 strains(64.7%)produced multiple OXA-carbapenemases.All 7 strains A.lwoffi produced OXA-23-type carbapenemases.A11 11 strains C.freundii,5 strains k pneumoniac and 1 strains Serratia produced KPC-2-type carbapencmases.And 6 of 11 strains C.freundii produced new subtype IMP-8.Of 15 PFGE type in 34 strains A.baumannii,14 strains belonged to A-type,7 strains belonged to B-type.Seven A.lwoffi strains distilbuted in difierent PFGE type.Four strains of P.aeruginosa producing VIM-2.type Metallo-8-lactamase did not have the same PFGE type.Eleven C.freundii strains had the same PFGE type.Five k pneumoniae strains had the sanle PFGE type.Conclusions Drug resistance to 12 common antibiotics in carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacill was higher than non-carbapenem-resistant gram-negative.The former produced many kinds of carbaponemases and the strains prducing carbapenemases were prevalent in the C.freundii, A.baumanii, and k pneumoniae.

Objective To explore the method of increasing the mastering rate of health knowledge of patients and effective rate of health education by nurses on the premise of shortened average length of hos-pital stay.Methods 316 patients were divided into group i (96 cases),group ii (117 cases) and group iii (103 cases).Patients in group i had no pre hospital education.Patients in group ii accepted quasicollective education on hospitalization notices.Patients in group iii accepted quasi-collective education on hospitalization notices and some general peri-operative knowledge.The mastering rate of knowledge and time cost for health education were compared between three groups.Results Compared to group i,group ii and group iii got higher mastering rate in 8 items of hospitalization notices.No difference was seen in acknowledge of general peri-operative knowledge.The education of hospitalization notices and total time was shortened.The difference between group ii and group iii was not positive.Conclusions Taking quasi-collective education on hospitalization notices improves patients' mastering level of hospitalization notices and nurses' education efficiency.
