1.Effect of continuous quality improvement (CQI) on hypertension management in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD) patients
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2004;0(02):-
Objective:To improve hypertension management in peritoneal dialysis patients through CQI process. Methods: Using the 4 step problem solving framework called the PDCA cycle-plan, do, check and act, we conducted a CQI program. Results: One hundred and forty five peritoneal dialysis patients dialyzed for more than 3 months participated in the study. In 49 prevalent patients, the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension (BP≥140/90 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) decreased from 49% to 16.3% although there were no significant changes in antihypertensive medication and total fluid removal. The incidence of uncontrolled hypertension in incident patients decreased from 61.3% to 28%. Height normalized extracellular water decreased significantly. In males it was from (10.8?1.4) kg/m to (10.3? 1.7) kg/m and in females (9.6?1.2) kg/m to (8.6?1.2) kg/m. Conclusion:CQI is a useful method in the management of hypertension in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Clinical Medicine of China 2015;(3):246-248
Objective To investigate the changes of plasma vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) of patients of advanced primary liver cancer before and after interventional treatment and its clinical Significance. Methods Forty-six patients with advanced primary liver cancer were performed the hepatic arterial chemoembolization and served as observation group. Sixty healthy people were served as control group and measured their level of serum VEGF. The level of serum VEGF of patients in observation group before treatment and intervention 1 month were measured. Results Before interventional treatment,the serum VEGF level of observation group were(510. 0 ± 310. 0)ng/L,significantly higher than that of control group((27. 0 ± 23. 0) ng/L,P﹤0. 001). After interventional treatment,he serum VEGF level decreased to(316. 4 ± 240. 7)ng/L and the difference was statistically significant( P=0. 036 ). After one month interventional treatment,4 cases were complete remission(8. 70%),34 cases were partial remission(73. 91%),6 cases were in stable(13. 04%),and 2 cases were progress( 4. 35%),and the total effective rate were 82. 61%( 38/46 ). The 38 cases who were complete remission and partial remission were been served as effective group,the other 8 cases were served as invalid group. The serum VEGF level in effective group were( 260. 6 ± 70. 5 )ng/L,lower than that in invalid group(( 346. 7 ± 61. 3 )ng/L,P = 0. 046 ). Conclusion Hepatic arterial chemoembolization treatment on primary liver cancer curative effect is a better approach. VEGF involves in the development of primary liver cancer,and the high serum VEGF level with poor prognosis can be the reference of efficacy.

Objective To know the nursing scientific research status in recent years,and to reveal the differences between Chinese nursing scientific researches and foreign nursing scientific researches,in order to promote the rapid development of nursing cause in China.Methods Five Chinese journals of nursing and four foreign nursing journals were analyzed covered China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),PubMed and Google data ranged from 2008 to 2013.By adopting bibliometrics method,regional distribution,the number of people participation,the cooperation between units,the source of financial funding,research content and nature of Chinese nursing research papers were analyzed,and also compared to research content and nature of foreign nursing journals.Results The amounts of published papers were 1 527 pieces.The geographical distribution of research papers were all spread over 28 provinces,autonomous regions sand municipalities directly under the central government,most of which was Guangdong province [12.64% (193/1 527)];The majority of research papers were completed by single unit and more than five people,which about [68.4%(1 045/1 527)],[38.6%(589/1 527)],respectively;Provincial level of research papers were more than national level [81.4%(1 243/1 527) vs.18.6%(284/1 527)];The papers focused on the clinical nursing research [37.8%(577/1 527)] and clinical basic nursing research [34.6%(529/1 527)].Almost researches were descriptive research,while 40.7%(622/1527) of which were clinical analysis.Foreign nursing scientific researches paid more attention to psychological research and nursing profession which were related to humanities and investigation was major method used;Compared with the foreign nursing papers at the same time,the number of Chinese nursing research papers increased rapidly (P < 0.05);Papers were completed more than five units rapidly increased compared with the pre-upgrade,as well as the national subjects,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions The number of nursing research programs tended to increase year by year and the enthusiasm of nurses participating in scientific research was higher than before.Different units needed to further strengthen cooperation in scientific research.The research content and direction were diversity,which had not yet formed central tendency.The research method was still limited to descriptive studies,and the creativity of the research methods was needed,especially laboratory research.

Objective To measure and analyze the staffing standards of family doctor interdisciplinary team by means of the WHO workload indicator of staffing need (WISN)method,for reference of the government in building family doctor interdisciplinary teams.Methods 150 community health centers in 16 provinces were selected.The related data from 150 centers were collected to analyze the population served by each family doctor,and the staffing standards of family doctor interdisciplinary team by means of the WHO workload indicator of staffing need(WISN)method.Results There were 10 721 community health professionals in the sample centers which provide 132.14 million standard equivalents of service to the public.1 9 6 1 6 community health professionals were needed to ensure the quality of service and no extra workload after work for professionals.Averagely,each family doctor can serve 1 558 residents,who needs 1.3~1.5 nurses or public health workers.Conclusions A huge gap was found for community health professionals.The population served by each family doctor should be lowered compared to the governmental requirement and more nurses should be introduced to the family doctor interdisciplinary team.

Objective To investigate the characteristic changes of the metabolism products in the auditory cortex (transverse temporal gyrus) in diabetes combined with nerve deafness using 1 H magnetic resonance spectros‐copy (1 H -MRS) ,and to discover the early warning indicator of nerve deafness in type 2 diabetes .Methods PTA was performed in 98 patients with type 2 diabetes (diagnosed by Endocrinology Department) ,and in 15 healthy sub‐jects in the control group .The patients were classified into four groups :the group of type 2 diabetes;type 2 diabe‐tes with unilateral and bilateral deafness ,and the normal control group .Cerebral metabolism was studied by assess‐ing the ratios of nitro -acetyl aspartate contrast to choline (NAA/Cho) as well as to creatine (NAA/Cr) ,myo-in‐ositol to creatine (mI/Cr) and choline to creatine (Cho/Cr) ratios in the auditory cortical separately in these groups . The Pearson correlation analysis was applied to determine blood glucose value with the nerve metabolites while the ROC curves were made for those metabolism markers to find the best diagnostic threshold .Results NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho were negatively correlated with AHI index and Cho/Cr ,mI/Cr was positively correlated with blood glu‐cose value .Significantly lower values of NAA/Cho ratio were found in patients'(diabetes without deafness) auditory cortex compared with 15 age-matched control subjects (P<0 .05) .NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratio in diabetes with deafness were significantly lower than those in control group (P< 0 .05) ,Cho/Cr higher than those of in other groups (P<0 .05) .NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratio in injured and uninjured auditory cortex of diabetes with unilateral deafness were significantly lower than those of in control group (P<0 .05) ,then we made a self -comparison be‐tween the injured and uninjured auditory cortex ,finding that NAA/Cho ratio had a significant difference .All of the metabolisms were tested by the curve of ROC .The area of NAA/Cho under the ROC curve was 81% ,which had a higher accuracy .NAA/Cho equal to 1 .65 can be used as boundary indicators between diabetes without deafness and diabetes with deafness groups ,the areas of the remaining indicators under the ROC curve was<50% .Conclusion NAA/Cho may be the early warning marker of nerve deafness in type 2 diabetes .
