Objective To analyze effects of mindfulness intervention on mindfulness, psychological health and quality of life for uremia patients. Methods A total of 82 uremia patients in Wuxi No.2 People′s Hospital from January 2013 to July 2015 were randomly assigned to the intervention group ( n=41) and the control group ( n=41). Patients in the control group were given routine nursing, while patients in the intervention group were given additional mindfulness intervention. The classification of mindfulness, the status of psychological health and quality of life scores after 8 weeks intervention and before the intervention were compared between two groups. Results After 8 weeks′ intervention, the grading state of mindfulness in the intervention group was obviously superior to the control group. The scores of interpersonal relationship, somatization, compulsion, depression, anxiety, crankiness, fear, nervousness and the total score were significantly lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05) . Quality of life scores in the intervention group (74.22±11.17) was higher than the control group (65.78±10.45)(P<0.05).Conclusions Mindfulness-based intervention is conducive to improve mindfulness of uremia patients and reduce patients′ negative mental states and it is of great significance to improve the quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of three cases with infant botulism.
METHODClinical data of three clinically diagnosed cases with infant botulism in May 2015 in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Literature search at databases of PubMed, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP with the key words"infant AND botulism". The date of literature retrieval was from the database founding to November 2015. The characteristics of infant botulism were summarized through review of literature.
RESULTThree patients were infants of 4-8 months of age, and all had acute onsets of anorexia and poor response. All of them had normal psychomotor development previously, and without clear history of exposure to poisons. The main findings on physical examination were reduced muscle strength and hypotonia, dullness or disappeared pupillary light reflex, reduced facial expression, weak crying and dysphagia. Unexpectedly their states of consciousness were relatively normal. Finally, through identification and PCR genotyping of bacteria in stool, 2 cases were confirmed as Clostridium (C.) botulinum type B infection. Totally 446 reports were retrieved from foreign language literature and 52 reports from Chinese literature. More than 3,000 cases of infant botulism cases were reported in the world. Rare cases were reported in China and only 1 case was reported in 2000.
CONCLUSIONMost cases of infant botulism had no clear exposure history. The main clinical manifestations are hypotonia, cranial nerve paralysis, flaccid paralysis, but different patients may have different presentations. Detection of C. Botulinum and its toxin in stool can help to confirm the diagnosis. Infant botulism is relatively rare in China, which may be related to the insufficient understanding and inspection level of the disease. It might be underestimated in China.

Objective To explore the effects of systematic nursing intervention on calcium and phosphorus metabolism and pruritus in hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis in the Department of Nephrology at Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from February to August 2017 were selected and divided into control group and observation group by random number method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given routine care. Dietary guidance, psychological care and comprehensive health education were implemented in the observation group on the basis of routine nursing. Diet, skin pruritus and calcium and phosphorus metabolism were compared between the two groups. Results The dietary compliance rate in the observation group (83.33%) was higher than that in the control group (60.00%) after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum calcium levels between the two groups (P>0.05). The differences in the total parathyroid hormone and serum phosphorus levels between the two groups were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The degree of pruritus, the distribution of the skin and the score of sleep disturbance in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Systematic nursing plays a positive role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism and pruritus in hemodialysis patients and is worthy of promotion and application.
