Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2008;24(31):44-45
ObjectiveTo improve the compliance behavior of discharged patients with chronic obsturctive pulmonary disease(COPD)by health education of telephone visit.Methods240 COPD patients were divided randomly into the experimental group and the control group with 120 cases in each group.The experimental group accepted telephone visit regularly for six months after 1 week since discharged from hospital and the control group did not receive any intervention.Six months later,the compliance behavior and the readmission of two groups were compared.ResultsThe results indicated that the compliance behavior of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionsConducting the health education of telephone visit can strengthen the patients' compliance behavior,postpone the process of disease,prevent complications,lighten economic burden and improve their life quality.

Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2016;25(6):651-654
In recent years ,lots of studies indicated that inflammation plays an important role in occurrence and de‐velopment of cardiovascular diseases .Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel inflammatory marker ,the cost of detection is low and it's easy to obtain .NLR is not only related with poor prognosis of stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome ,but also closely associated with prognosis of acute heart failure .The present article made a review on the correlation between NLR and cardiovascular diseases .

Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2016;15(5):321-323
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in a newly built rehabilitation hospital.Methods A prospective survey was adopted to monitor HAI among all patients admitted to a newly built rehabilitation hospital between January 2011 and December 2014, related data were collected and analyzed statistically.Results A total of 22 126 patients (male,n=12 023;female, n=10 103)were monitored,age were 4 months-100 years old.HAI rate was 3.25%(n=720),HAI case rate was 3.34% (n=738).Patients in department of spinal rehabilitation had the highest HAI rate (9.76%);the main HAI site was lower respiratory tract (n = 388,52.57%);a total of 186 pathogenic isolates were detected,154 (82.80%)were gram-negative bacteria,25 (13.44%)were gram-positive bacteria,and 7 (3.76%)were fungi. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that paralysis (OR,1 .77 [95% CI ,1 .24 - 2.53 ]),length of hospital stay ≥60 days(OR,4.62 [95% CI ,3.28 -5.10]),age ≤ 10 years old (OR,1 .55 [95% CI ,1 .33 -2.93]),age ≥60 years old (OR,4.59 [95% CI ,1 .02-20.59]),chronic underlying diseases(OR,1 .56 [95% CI , 1 .37-11 .34]),invasive procedure (OR,3.33 [95% CI ,1 .21 -6.86]),and coma(OR,6.77 [95% CI ,5.41 -7.05])were major risk factors for HAI in patients in the rehabilitation hospital.Conclusion Investigation on newly built rehabilitation hospital is helpful for realizing the occurrence status of HAI,health care workers can carry out the corresponding prevention and control measures.

0.05). Conclusion Deficiency of Qi, Blood stasis, Damp-phlegm and Deficiency of Yin are main syndromes of TCM in adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma. In Deficiency of Qi, lung-deficiency of Qi and spleen-deficiency of Qi are common syndromes of TCM. Appearing frequency of syndromes of TCM between adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma is similar.

Objective To observe fibrosing-associated indicators in manchurian dutchmanspipe induced tubulo-interstitial nephropathy (GMT-TIN), and try to give a clue to the mechanism of GMT-TIN's unusual fibrosis. Methods Immunohislochemical SP method was applied to detect the expression of CTGF, TGF-?1, ?-SMA, FN and collagen Ⅳ in the renal biopsy specimens of 22 cases of GMT-TIN. Relationships among the above fibrosing-associated indicators and their correlations with the degree of interstitial fibrosis were further analyzed. Results Highly expressed ?-SMA, FN and collagen Ⅳ were detected in the renal interstitium of all the GMT-TIN patients. Expression of the above indicators increased with the aggravating of chronic lesion ( P

Methods Preoperative evaluation, careful psychological nursing, perioperative observation and prevetion complications were used for 105 patients with coronary chronic total occlusion when curred by transraidal approach intervention. Results There were 97 cases had successful operation, while 8 cases failure. There were 14 cases of perioperative hypotension, 6 cases of coronary acute occlusion, 4 cases of coronary perforation and 3 cases of no- reflow. There were no radial- as-sociated complication in any patients. Conclusions Effective and careful nursing measures can prevent complications.

Objective To analyse the mutation types of the NOTCH3 gene with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy(CADASIL). Methods Including 4 probands of CADASIL,10 cases of CADASIL and 4 normal members from 3 CADASIL families and 100 healthy controls were recruited. Genomic DNA was extracted from white blood cell. The amplicons were analyzed by the denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) technique. The positive samples which identified by the DHPLC were sequenced to determine the specific mutation or polymorphism, respectively. Results Three heterozygous missense mutations including Cys90Arg, Arg141Cys, Cys134Tyr located in the exon3 and exon4 were found in the 4 probands and 10 cases of CADASIL among the 3 families. 15 polymorphisms were also found. 2 members individual from family 1 and 2 were found to carry the same pathological mutations as in their proband but without clinical symptoms. They were identified as preclinical patients. Conclusions Mutation detection of NOTCH3 is the molecular genetic mechanical for CADASIL. The exon3 and exon4 are possible hot mutation spots in Chinese patients. The mutation of Cys134Tyr in exon4 is a novel mutation which has not been reported previously in China.

Objective To explore the influence of cryopreservation by ladder-style freezing from low temperature refrigerator to liquid nitrogen on hemopoietic stem cell(HSC)transplantation.Methods From April 2001 to April 2006,31 cases treated with HSC transplantation were randomized to controlled-rate freezer-liquid nitrogen group(n=15)and refrigerator-liquid nitrogen group(n=16)in Department of Hematology of 1st People's Hospital of Yunnan Province.The hemopoietic reconstitution time was observed,and the viability of HSC was determined by trypan blue exclusion test in two groups.Results No significant differences were found in transfusion values of mononuclear cells(MNC)and CD34+ cells,rates of trypan blue exclusion and time of ANC0.05).Conclusion Cryopreservation of HSC can produce successful engraftment by ladder-style freezing which has cryoprotectant solution containing final concentrations of 3-percent hydroxyethyl starch,4-percent human serum albumin,and 5-percent DMSO,and its effect is the same as traditional controlled-rate method with 10-percent DMSO cryoprotectant.The new freezing procedure is faster and easier,and freezing cost is reduced.
