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.
2.Prospective study on incidence and risk factors of healthcare-associated in-fection in a newly built rehabilitation hospital
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.
3.Correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and cardiovascular diseases
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 .

Objective To analyze and discuss the expression of serum polymyositis‐scleroderma(PM‐Scl) antibody and its clinical significance in patients with systemic scleroderma(SSc) .Methods 315 hospitalized patients diagnosed with scleroderma by typical clinical manifestations or skin pathology from 2009 to 2012 were enrolled in the study .All patients were grouped into PM‐Scl antibody positive(PM‐Scl + ) group(90 cases) ,Scl‐70 antibody positive(Scl‐70+ ) group(70 cases) ,anti‐centromere antibody positive( ACA+ ) group(75 cases) and antibody negative group(80 cases) according to autoantibody spectrum .The severity of skin and visceral damage among all the groups were analyzed and compared .Results Patients in PM‐Scl+ group were characterized with different clinical manifestations .Compared with the other 3 groups ,the incidence of myositis in PM‐Scl+ group was significantly higher( all P< 0 .05) ;patients in Scl‐70+ group had higher incidence of visceral organ damage than PM‐Scl+ group(all P < 0 .05) .The incidence of skin lesions ,Raynaud′s phenomenon and capillary expansion in ACA+ group were higher than that of PM‐Scl+ ,while the incidence of interstitial lung disease ,heart disease and kidney disease were lower(all P< 0 .05) .Conclusion It is helpful for clinicists′ further understanding of common autoantibodies in Ssc patients and making correct assessment of the disease through analyzing the expression of PM‐Scl antibody .

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of acupuncture point embedding therapy in the treatment of slow transit constipation (STC)and the influence on the colon transmission function,plasma substance P(SP), vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP). Methods A total of 128 slow transit constipation patients were involved in the study and divided randomly into two groups by using stochastic indicator: a treatment group (treated with acupuncture point embedding therapy) and a control group (treated with lactulose oral liquid). The clinical effects, colon transmission function, the influence of SP, and VIP were observed for STC patients. Results In the treatment group, CCS score was (13.52±3.93) before treatment and(8.15±3.77) after the treatment. In the control group CCS score was (14.11±4.24) and (9.01±2.93) respectively before and after the treatment, CCS score in both groups showed significantly improvement after the treatment (P<0.01), and there was no significant difference between groups (P>0.05). The plasma SP and VIP level of the two groups after the treatment [treatment group (46.73±1.50) ng/L,(206.10±12.14) ng/L, the control group(40.92±6.25)ng/L,(214.73± 7.62)ng/L] were also improved than before [treatment group was(26.66±0.88)ng/L, (332.68±17.84)ng/L, the control group was (23.32±1.75)ng/L,(306.22±20.01)ng/L], with statistically significant(P<0.05), and the difference between the two groups were also significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The acupuncture point embedding therapy is effective for STC, and it can regulate the level of SP and VIP.

Objective To investigate the correlation between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) value and the prognosis of comatose patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods From January 2013 to September 2014, a total of 64 comatose patients admitted in the department of ICU were enrolled.The patients were divided into two groups : consciousness group (n =25) and coma group (n =39).The level of the Glasgow coma scale (GCS), APACHE Ⅱ score and Full Outline of UnResponsiveness score (FOUR) of patients were monitored.The rSO2 was measured by Somanetics INVOS 5100 monitor.Results The differences in levels of FOUR and GCS at admission and GCS at discharge between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05).In the consciousness group, the levels of GCS、 FOUR and rSO2 were higher compared with the coma group (P < 0.05).ROC curve analysis revealed that the areas under the curve of GCS, FOUR and rSO2 for predicting prognosis were 0.823 (0.718-0.928), 0.820 (0.728-0.912) and 0.924 (0.863-0.985) respectively.Conclusions The rSO2 was useful for estimating the prognosis of comatose patients in general ICU.
