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.

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 evaluate the efficacy of modification and care improvement in endotracheal tubes (ETTs) to prevent ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched,literature information was extracted and classified according to the inclusion criteria,the data were statistically analyzed.Results Totally 46 clinical research articles and 6 laboratory research articles were involved,the data showed that polyurethane (PU) cuff [23.809％ (35/147)],silver-coated ETTs [4.830％ (37/766)],subglottic drainage duct [19.492％ (759/3 894)],discontinuous subglottic drainage[13.603％ (256/1 882)] were associated with a decreased incidence of VAP compared with polyvinyl (PVC) cuff [40.179％ (45/112)],non-silver-coated ETTs [7.537％ (56/743)],conventional ETTs[45.733％ (1 088/2 379)],continuous subglottic drainage [25.000％ (503/2 012)],the differences in the incidence of VAP were statistically significant,respectively,P＜ 0.05.The incidence of VAP in cylindrical PU cuff was 25.000％ (8/32),the tapered PU cuff was 21.875％ (7/32),the difference in the incidence of VAP was not statistically significant.Conclusions The modification of the ETTs and the care improvement can effectively reduce the incidence of VAP.

Evolutionary psychology holds such an opinion that negative situation may threaten survival, trigger avoidance motive and have poor effects on the human-body function and the psychological quality. Both disgusted and sad situations can induce negative emotions. However, differences between the two situations on attention capture and emotion cognition during the emotion induction are still not well known. Typical disgusted and sad situation images were used in the present study to induce two negative emotions, and 15 young students (7 males and 8 females, aged 27 ± 3) were recruited in the experiments. Electroencephalogram of 32 leads was recorded when the subjects were viewing situation images, and event-related potentials (ERP) of all leads were obtained for future analysis. Paired sample t tests were carried out on two ERP signals separately induced by disgusted and sad situation images to get time quantum with significant statistical differences between the two ERP signals. Root-mean-square deviations of two ERP signals during each time quantum were calculated and the brain topographic map based on root-mean-square deviations was drawn to display differences of two ERP signals in spatial. Results showed that differences of ERP signals induced by disgusted and sad situation images were mainly manifested in T1 (120-450 ms) early and T2 (800-1,000 ms) later. During the period of T1, the occipital lobe reflecting attention capture was activated by both disgusted and sad situation images, but the prefrontal cortex reflecting emotion sense was activated only by disgusted situation images. During the period of T2, the prefrontal cortex was activated by both disgusted and sad situation images. However, the parietal lobe was activated only by disgusted situation images, which showed stronger emotional perception. The research results would have enlightenment to deepen understanding of negative emotion and to exploredeep cognitive neuroscience mechanisms of negative emotion induction.
