Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(10):13-15
Objective To investigate effective methods for preventing radiotherapy - induced oral mucositis among patients with cephalocervical malignant tumors. Methods 92 patients with cephalocer-vical malignant tumors treated with radiotherapy were randomly divided into group A (31 cases),group B (31 cases) and group C (30 cases). Mixture of 20 ml heartleaf houttuynia herb injection,20 ml salvia injection and 30 ml distilled water were given to patients in group A by means of nebulization inhalation one hour before and after every radiotherapy treatment, the inhalation lasted 20 minutes each time up to the end of radiotherapy. Mixture of 2 ml Kang-fu-xin injection,0.5 mg vitamin B|2 injection and SO ml normal saline were given to patients in group B by the same means as group A. Yangyin Qingfei decoction were given to patients in group C by means of selecting its 500 ml juice for oral use. Half of the 500 ml decoction were separately given 1 hour before and after each radiotherapy treatment up to the end of radiotherapy. Results The incidence rates of oral mucositis were obviously lower among patients in group A than in group B and C. Conclusions Nebulization inhalation of mixture of heartleaf houttuynia herb and salvia injections has significant clinical effects on oral mucositis after radiotherapy.

Objective To provide the evidence for the clinical prevention and early treatment for the complication by testing microcirculation of the middle fingertip in renal failure patients with hemodialysis.Methods High-frequency ultrasounds combined with E-flow technique were applied to detect the Doppler velocitg index of middle fingertip's nail bed arteriole and ventral arteriole in 35 renal failure patients with hemodialysis.Peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV)and vascular resistance index(RI)were separately measured,and comparison were made with healthy adults and renal failure patients without hemodialysis(sex and age matched).Results Compared with normal control,PSV and EDV of middle fingertip's nail bed arteriole and ventral arteriole were degraded statistically(P<0.05),while RI was increased statistically(P<0.05)in renal failure patients with and without hemodialysis.Compared with renal failure patients without hemodialysis,PSV and EDV were degraded(P<0.05)and RI was increased(P<0.05)in renal failure patients with hemodialysis.Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound combined with E-flow imaging technique can evaluate the microvascular peripheral resistance in renal failure patients with hemodialysis.

objective To assess relationship between microvascular changes of hemodynamics of the fingertip and evolution of hypertension in patients with essential hypertension(EH)by enhanced power Doppler imaging(E-Flow).Methods The right ring fingertip'S blood flow peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV),resistance index(RI)of finger ventral arteriole and nail bed arteriole in thirty-nine patients with EH were separately observed and were made contrast with 35 age-matched healthy subjects by E-Flow imaging.Results Compared with traditional colour Doppler flow imaging and power Doppler imaging,E-Flow imaging was clearer to demonstrate the distribution and movement of the fingertip'S microvascular.It was shown that the PSV and EDV in the ring finger ventral arteriole and nail bed arteriole of EH were decreased(P<0.05),but the RI increased(P<0.05),along with the evolution of EH.Conclusions Fingertip'S microvascular changes of hemodynamics could be a criterion to detect obstruction alternations of essential hypertension.E-Flow imaging iS superior to traditional color Doppler flow imaging and power Doppler imaging in differentiating microvascular and could provide a new method in assessing microvacular changes of patients with EH for clinic.

Objective To study the value of MSCT angiography(MSCTA)in diagnosing lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD) of diabetic foot ulcers and analyze the possible influential factors on the onset of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods 80 diabetic patients for MSCTA examination were divided into two groups by whether combined with foot ulcers.The tibial artery calcification score (TACS) and peripheral arterial occlusion index (PAOI) were calculated and the possible risk factors of diabetic foot ulcer were analyzed.Results There were 30 cases suffered with foot ulcer and 18 cases occurred lower extremity arterial occlusion (LEAO), the average PAOI was 4.40(3.60, 5.75).Non-foot ulcer cases were 50, and there were 8 cases suffered with LEAO, the average PAOI was 2.05(1.43, 3.10).Compared to patients without foot ulcer, patients with foot ulcer were older, had a lower BMI, and were more likely to have a history of tobacco use.They usually had higher TACS and severer peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).Stepwise regression model showed that foot ulcers had significant correlation with TACS and PAOI.Partial correlation analysis showed TACS was independent from PAOI in impacting diabetic foot ulcer.Conclusion MSCTA has important clinical value in diagnosing and valuing diabetic foot ulcer LEAD.Age, smoking history,BMI,TACS and PAOI affect the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers, and TACS and PAOI are the independent risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers.
