Objective To describe the public discrimination against patients with mental disorders,and to explore its influencing factors.Methods This study was a descriptive study.A total of 1 378 public received the survey.The survey instruments include general information questionnaire and assessment scale of discrimination against patients with mental disorders.Results The scores of the scale of discrimination against patients with mental disorders was (2.07± 0.61).The score of risk dimension was higher(2.17±0.87),and the ability dimension was lower(1.65±0.64).Multiple regression analysis showed that factors influencing the total score of the scale were type of investigation objects,age,gender,educational background,contact degree and life connection degree to the patients with mental disorders.Conclusion Because psychiatric patients had perceived stigma,and social demographic factors,clinical factors,social and psychological factors could influence their perceived stigma,so the nurse should pay more attention to discrimination against patients,and reduce or eliminate the discrimination toward the patients,then promote recovery of the patients.

Objective To study the treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome(ACS) secondary to fulminant acute pancreatitis (FAP).Method A retrospective study was conducted from Jan.2009 to Dec.2011 to analyze the therapeutic results of 18 patients with ACS secondary to FAP.Results Three out of 7 patients who received non-operative therapy died (mortality rate 42.9%).Three out of 11 patients treated with early surgery died (mortality rate 27.3%),which was significantly better than those patients treated conservatively.Conclusion A reduction in intra-abdominal pressure improved the function of the viscera in the treatment of ACS secondary to FAP.The decompressive effects of early surgery was efficacious,and it reduced the mortality rate.

Objective To evaluate the procedure and the therapeutic efficacy of duodenumpreserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) in treating benign lesions in the head of the pancreas.Methods From February 2003 to August 2011,DPPHR was performed in 21 patients with benign lesions in the head of the pancreas.Thirteen patients were male and eight were female.Age ranged from 30 to 48 years,and the lesions ranged from 2.0 cm to 5.6 cm in diameter.Posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery was conserved in all patients.Results There was no hospital death.Pancreatic fistula was the main and the most often morbidity,occurring in 33.3%.After operation all patients with preoperative abdominal pain were completely pain free.Preoperative hypoglycemia in 2 patients turned to eugycemia.There was no recurrences report during following up.Concl~ions DPPHR was safe and effective in treating benign lesion in the head of pancreas.It was important in preserving blood supply to the duodenum by posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of undernutrition, nutritional risks, and the application of nutrition supports in different hospitals in Shandong province, and to estimate the related complication rate.Methods Totally 2792 patients from different hospitals in Shandong were enrolled, and their nutritional risks were assessed using Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002. The application of nutritional supports, the length of hospital stay, and the incidences of infectious and non-infectious complications were documented. Results The incidences of undernutrition and nutritional risk among patients in large hospitals were significantly higher than those in middle and small hospitals (5.6%, 1.6%, 2. 7%; 27.3%, 15.4%, 18.3%; P =0. 000). The overall rate of nutritional support was 43. 60%, and there were significant difference among patients in different hospitals (51.5 %, 30. 8 %, 20.9 %, P = 0. 000). Parenteral nutrition was most widely applied. Among the 483 patients in large hospitals, the incidence of complication in patients with nutritional risks was significantly higher than those without nutritional risks (31.3% versus 13.7%, P =0. 000). Of the "with nutritional risk" patients, the infectious complications were significantly lower in the nutritional support group (P = 0. 000). Of the patients without nutritional risks, there was no statistical difference between the nutritional support group and the non-support group. (P > 0. 05). Conclusions NRS 2002 is a useful tool for the assessment of nutritional status among inpatients. Proper nutritional support can reduce the incidence of complications for patients with nutritional risks.

Objective To determine the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in the hippocampus of rats with Alzheimer's disease(AD), and to determine the effect of butylphthalide on them and its significance. Methods Sixty male adult rats were randomly divided into a model group, a Butylphthalide group, and a control group. AD models were established by injecting β-amyloid protein 1-42 into the hippocampus of rats. Sixty days later,the rats were sacrificed and both sides of the hippocampus were sectioned for immunohistochemistry. Results Positive cells of GFAP in the hippocampus of the model group increased and the expression of VEGF decreased statistically, compared with the control group(P<0.01). The positive cells of GFAP in the hippocampus of the butylphthalide group decreased and the expression of VEGF increased significantly, compared with the model group(P<0.05). Conclusion Butylphthalide may protect the neuron-vascular unit of the hippocampus of Alzheimer model rats by inhibiting the expression of GFAP and increasing the expression of VEGF.

Objective To clone and express the hexon protein of three prevalent human adenovi -rus strains causing respiratory disease and analyze the antigenic characteristics of the recombinant proteins . Methods The full length genes encoding hexon protein of human adenovirus serotype 3(HAdV3), serotype 4(HAdV4) and serotype 7(HAdV7) were cloned by PCR and sequenced , respectively.The alignment anal-ysis was performed by using hexon gene sequences from GenBank .The major antigenic regions of hexon pro-tein of the three serotypes were expressed in E.coli and purified.The antigenicity, immunogenicity and cross reactivity of the recombinant proteins were determined by ELISA and Western blot assay .Results The full length gene sequence encoding hexon protein of human adenovirus serotype 4 was firstly reported in China , which showed more than 99%homology in both nucleotide and amino acid sequences with the human adeno-virus type 4 NHRC3 strain.The partial hexon protein sequence of HAdV 3, HAdV4 and HAdV7 containing all of the 7 hyperviriable regions ( HVRs) were expressed in E.coli, respectively .The purified recombinant proteins could be recognized by antiserum of the three serotypes of adenovirus .The antiserum samples against the three recombinant proteins could cross-react with particles of the three serotypes of adenovirus . The possible type-and species-specific epitopes were predicted .Conclusion The major antigenic regions of hexon protein of the three serotypes were successfully expressed .The purified recombinant proteins contai-ning both intertypes and type-specific epitopes showed a strong immunogenicity .

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes with the use of a saline-coupled bipolar sealer during liver resection.Methods 101 patients underwent liver resection for primary hepatic carcinoma at the People's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from August 2015 to December 2016.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the Aquamantys(R) system was used or not.In group A (n =62) the clamp crushing technique was used for liver parenchymal transection.In group B (n =39) the Aquamantys(R) system was used.The intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were compared.Results The operation time in group B was significantly longer than group A (216.4 min vs.253.5 min,P < 0.05).The intraoperaitve blood loss in group B was significantly less than group A (381.1 ml vs.257.2 ml,P < 0.05),and less blood transfusion was required (211.3 ml vs.90.9 ml,P < 0.05).The volume of abdominal drainage fluid in group B in the first and the 5th day was significantly less than group A (242.6 ml vs.199.2 ml,P<0.05;84.3 ml vs.70.4 ml,P<0.05,respectively).The drainage tube in group B was taken off earlier than in group A (8.1 d vs.7.0 d,P < 0.05).The average hospitalization stay after surgery in group B was also significantly shorter (13.4 d vs.11.6 d,P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the overall postoperative complication rate (P > 0.05) between the 2 groups,and no death was observed.Conclusion The use of a saline-coupled bipolar sealer (Aquamantys(R)) in liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma was associated with less intraoperative blood loss and was better for the patients' postoperative recovery.
