OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of alprostadil combined with edaravone in the treatment of unsta-ble angina pectoris(UAP),and their effects on serum oxidative stress indexes,the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9. METHODS:Be-sides conventional treatment,control group was treated with Alprostadil injection 2 ml added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection (NS)100 ml,ivgtt,qd;while observation group was additionally treated with Edaravone injection 15 ml added into NS 100 ml, ivgtt,qd. Treatment courses of 2 groups lasted for 2 weeks. The frequency and duration of UAP attack,serum levels of MDA, SOD,TAC,MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels were observed 2 groups;the occurrence of ADR was also observed. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in frequency of angina pectoris attack,duration,MDA,SOD,TAC,MMP-2 and MMP-9 between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group (94.3%) was significantly higher than that of control group(81.4%). The frequency of angina pectoris attack and the level of MDA,were significantly reduced,and the duration of angina pectoris was significantly shortened SOD and TAC increased significantly;the change of observation group was more significant than that of control group with statistical significance(P<0.05). ADR was mild in 2 groups;there was no statisti-cal significance in the incidence of ADR(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Alprostadil combined with edaravone is significantly effec-tive for UAP,reduces the frequency of angina,shortens the duration of angina pectoris,alleviates oxidative stress and reduces se-rum levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 with good safety.

Objective To investigate the nursing professional values of different nursing groups and probe into the influencing factors.Methods By cluster and stratified sampling,a total of 583 participants including nursing students and registered nurses were investigated by Nursing Professional Values Scale.Results Nursing students and registered nurses hold a higher level of nursing professional values.Nursing professional value scores of nursing students were significantly higher than registered nurses.There was statistical difference between different nursing groups.Working years and monthly income were important influencing factors.Conclusions Nursing educators and administers could choose effective methods according to the condition to improve nursing professional values.

Objective To investigate the effect of Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride combined with Butorphanol tartrate on stress state in elderly patients with severe illness.Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with severe illness admitted into our hospital from March 2016 to March 2018 were randomized into group A,B and C(n=40,each).Group A was given intravenous Midazolam for analgesia,group B was treated with intravenous Medetomidine for analgesia,and group C received Dexmedetomidine combined with Butorphanol tartrate for analgesia.The differences in mean artery pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),C-reaction protein(CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6),visual analogue scale (VAS)score and Ramsay score were compared among the three groups.Results The levels of MAP,HR,CRP,IL-6 and VAS score after 24,48 and 72 hours of combined treatment of dexmedetomidine and butorphanol tartrate were lower in group C than in group B(P <0.05).There was no significant difference in the levels of MAP,HR,CRP,IL-6 and VAS score between group A and B after 24,48 and 72 hours of administration(P>0.05).Ramsay score was higher in group C (intravenous both Dexmedetomidine and Butorphanol tartrate) than in group B (intravenous Dexmedetomidine alone)at 24,48 and 72 hours after administration (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in Ramsay score after 24,48 and 72 hours of administration between group A and B(P>0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was lower in group C than in group A and B(10.0% vs.35.0% and 32.5%,x2 =7.168 and 6.050,P =0.007 and 0.014).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between group A and BCx2=0.056,P =0.813).Conclusions Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride combined with Butorphanol tartrate can effectively improve hemodynamics,and alleviate inflammatory reaction and pain in elderly patients with severe illness,with a good security.And it is worthy of clinical generalization.
