To explore the clinical efficacies of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the recovery of cognitive function in stroke patients on hemodialysis.Forty stroke patients on hemodialysis were assigned randomly into hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) (n =20 ) and routine therapy groups (n =20).Patients of HBO group received both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and routine therapy.Nerves functions and cognitive function were observed before and after therapy to compare the clinical outcomes.Neuropsychological tests,minimental status examination (MMSE) and activities of daily living (ADL) were used for assessing cognitive function.Then the outcomes were compared with those of the control group.Nerves function and cognitive dysfunction of the treatment group had significant improvement (P < 0.01).Hyperbaric oxygen can significantly improve cognitive dysfunction in stroke patients on hemodialysis.

Objective To study the right ventricular function of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism by using color Doppler ultrasound.Methods 31 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism,compared with 31 vohnteers,were enrolled in this study.The right ventricular anterior wall movement,right ventricular end diastolic volume,right ventricular ejection fraction,and myocardial performance index were observed by echocardiography.Resuits The right atrium diameter,right ventricles diameter,right ventrieular end diastolic volume and pulmonary artery inner diameter in study group were much larger than that in control group (P<0.01),and the right ventricular anterior wall movement and right ventrieular ejection fraction decreased in study group (P<0.01).Tricuspidal annular E peak velocity tended to be decreased,isovolumie relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time were prolonged and myocardial performance index was increased (P<0.01).Right ventricular myocardial performance index showed significant correlation with right ventrieular ejection fraction (r=0.78,P<0.01),isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time(rl=0.88,r2=0.57,P<0.01).Conclusion The right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary thromboembelism is decreased and myocardial performance index is a sensitive index which can be used to reflect right ventricular function in pulmonary thromboembolism.

Objective To explore the effects of Six-Step standardized communication procedure in improving the communication ability of nurses.Methods C-I-CARE communication procedure was converted into Chinese.The Chinese version of Six-Step standardized communication procedure was Yi Kan,Er Yin,San Gaozhi,Si Wen,Wu Da,Liu Zaijian.The procedure was propagandized by making posters,setting up computer desktop,training nurses by lectures,video and role play.The effects were evaluated by pre and post self-control test among 100 nurses.Results The average score of communication behavior of 100 nurses after applying standardized communication procedure increased from 2.55±0.67 to 4.44±0.59 (t=-23.174,P<0.001).In 2015,the nursing department received 622 silk banners and commendatory letters for appreciating nursing work,increased by 18.9% compared to 2014.The discharged patient satisfaction increased from 94.2% to 96.93%.The satisfaction of doctors to nurses' collaboration was 99.86%.There was no nursing complaint or dispute caused by bad communication.Conclusion The application of procedure and standardized communication method can improve the communication ability of nurses,optimize the relationship between nurses and patients and increase patient satisfaction.

Objective To explore the correlation between ultrasonographic findings and relevant technical factors in traumatic lipohemarthrosis. Methods Fifty-two patients with traumatic lipohemarthrosis underwent ultrasonic examination in supine position (26 in unbent, 16 in external rotary position, 10 in unbent and 45° rotation) before operation, and 22 of them underwent dynamic examination. Findings of ultrasography were compared with manifestations of MRI and CT regarded as gold standard.Results Fifty-two patients with traumatic lipohemarthrosis were diagnosed correctly. The best effect of ultrasonic examination of lipohemarthrosis was observed on suprapatellar bursa. Superior border of patella were showed well in supine straight position, then turned to the level of patella, and the structure below patella were showed badly. The best posture was in supine genuflex position with 45° rotation when the joint effusion presented, by which thicker layer liquids could be displayed than in straight position. Three layer liquids could not be displayed synchronously in mild external rotary rest position of lower extremity, and the combination of findings at internal and external side were favorable to the diagnosis. Liquids bed changed from one layer to two layers and then to three layers, from fuzzy to clear gradually in dynamic examination.Conclusion Ultrasonic manifestations of traumatic lipohemarthrosis are closely correlated to the position, posture and arresting time during examination.

One hundred and seventeen patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune thyroid diseases(AITDs)and 30 normal controls(NCs)were selected.All the patients were divided into 5 groups:hyperthyroidism group(n=33),subclinical hyperthyroidism group(n=21),hypothyroidism group(n=25),subclinical hypothyroidism group(n=23)and euthyroidism group(n=15).Plasma malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide(SOD)and inflammatory factors levels were measured.Our results showed that plasma MDA level in dysthyroidism groups was significantly higher than that in NCs group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).SOD/MDA ratio in AITD groups Was significantly lower than that in NCs group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).In a multiple step-wise regression analysis,serum hishly sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were independent factors of MDA.This study might suggest that plasma MDA level in AITD patients receiving no treatment may increase.MDA may be correlated with hs-CRP or TNF-α levels.

Objective To investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and lipid metabolism characteristics in elderly patients under different status of thyroid function. Methods Eighty-six newly-diagnosed elderly patients with thyroid diseases,83 non-elderly patients with thyroid diseases and 20 normal subjects as control were selected.and 47 hyperthyroidism and 39hypothyroidism in elderly,43 hyperthyroidism and 40 hypothyroidism in non-elderly were diagnosed according to diagnostic criteria of the thyroid disease.The levels of fasting plasma malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide(SOD)and oxidized low density lipoprotein(OX-LDL)were measured by thiobarhiturates,colorimetric method and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Meanwhile,lipid profile and thyroid function were also measured,SOD/MDA ratio was calculated. Results Lipid profiles in the elderly hyperthyroidism group were significantly higher than those in the non-elderly group(P<O.05 or P<0.01)but were significantly lower than those of normal control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The plasma MDA[(10.23±6.29)μmol/L vs.(3.66±2.53)μmol/L vs.(7.37±4.58)μmol/L],free fatty acids(FFA)[(0.86±0.58)mmol/L us.(0.45±0.12)mmol/L vs.(0.61±O.46)mmol/L]and SOD levels were significantly higher in elderly patients with hyperthyroidism than in normal control and non-elderly hyperthyroidism groups(P<0.05 or P<O.01).In the patients with hypothyroidism,the plasma MDA[(9.03±5.98)μmol/L vs.(6.59±3.18)μmol/L vs.(3.66±2.53)μmol/L],OX-LDL[(387.36±71.04)μg/L vs.(355.22±45.01)μg/L vs.(324.53±56.19)μg/L],TC,LDL-C,non-HDL-C,LP(a) and Apo-B100 levels were significantly higher in the elderly group than in the non-elderly and normal control groups(P<0.05 orP<0.01).The SOD/MDA ratio was significantly lower in the elderly patient groups with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism than in normal control and non-elderly groups(all P<0.01).In a multiple step-wise regression analysis.FT4 and FFA were independent factors related tO MDA in hyperthyroidism group,and non-HDL-C and LDL-C were independent factors related to MDA inhypothyroidism group. Conclusions Serious lipid metabolic disorder exists in newly-diagnosed and untreated elderly patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.It is suggested that oxidative stress is obviously strengthened in elderly patients with thyroid function disorder and that the degree of oxidative stress is correlated with lipid metabolic disorder.
