Objective To explore the influence of uncertainty in illness in compliance of respiratory function exer-cise and rehabilitation after surgery in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods Mishel uncer-tainty in illness scale and compliance of respiratory function exercise scale were used to collect data in 108 patients with CABG. The correlation of the uncertainty in illness and compliance of respiratory function exercise was analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups (high score, medium score and low score groups) according to the detection of uncertainty in illness. Values of compliance of respiratory function exercise, postoperative care time, postoperative ventilation time, postop-erative hospital stay duration, 6-min walking test (6MWD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared be-tween three groups. Results The uncertainty in illness was in medium level (95.51±9.48) in patients with CABG surgery, which was negatively correlated with compliance of respiratory function exercise (r=-0.926, P<0.01). The postoperative venti-lation time and postoperative care time were less in low score group than those of medium score group and high score group. The compliance of respiratory function exercise, 6-min walking test and postoperative LVEF were better in low score group than those of medium score group and high score group. Conclusion Medical personnel should take targeted interventions to reduce the uncertainty in illness in patients, enhance the compliance of respiratory function exercise, reduce the postopera-tive complications and promote early recovery of patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemic situation of Acinetobacter in lower respiratory tract infection and their drug resistance,in order to provide evidence for clinical anti-infection therapy. METHODS The data of Acinetobacter from the sputum specimens of inpatients in our hospital with lower respiratory tract infection during 2006-2007 were collected and analyzed with the software the software WHONET5.4. RESULTS Among all pathogens in lower respiratory tract infection,Acinetobacter accounted for 9.2% in 2006 and 7.4% in 2007,the rate in deparment of neurosurgery,surgical ICU and respiratory ICU was higher. Acinetobacter had the highest susceptible rate to imipenem and were also susceptible to meropenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam. However,Acinetobacter had higher resistant rate to imipenem and meropenem while higher susceptible rate to cefoperazone/sulbactam in 2007 than in 2006. The susceptible rate of Acinetobacter to the third and forth generation cephalosporins,amikacin,levofloxacin and aztreonam was lower than 50%. CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance mechanism of Acinetobacter is so complicated that many kinds of drugs prove poorly effective. Carbopenems are recommended when single drug is utilized and drug combination based on the clinical and laboratory information can be tried.

prognosis of patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). Methods A total of 130 patients with AUGIB in our hospital were enrolled in this study from August 2014 to August 2016 . Three kinds of scoring systems including Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 were used to evaluate the risk classification of the patients. Patients were followed up for 2 months. The incidence rates of re-bleeding and death within 2 months after admission were observed. Data of prognosis in patients with AUGIB were compared between the three scoring systems in the prognosis of patients with AUGIB, including the risk classification and the prediction accuracy of re-bleeding and death. Results There were no significant differences in the re-bleeding rate and fatality rate between the groups divided by Rockall and Blatchford scoring systems ( P>0.05). According to the grouping results of AIMS65 scoring system, the re-bleeding rate of low-risk group was lower than that in high risk group (1.45%vs. 13.11%, P=0.01), but there was no significant difference in fatality rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The values of area under the curve (AUC) of predicting re-bleeding rates by using Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 scoring systems were 0.6258, 0.6910, and 0.7241, and the values of AUC of predicting fatality rates were 0.7031, 0.7969, and 0.7031 by using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. There were no significant differences between them (P>0.05). The values of AUC of predicting re-bleeding rates by using the risk grading calculation by Rockall, Blatchford and AIMS65 scoring systems were 0.6189, 0.6139 and 0.7254 (P>0.05). But the values of AUC of predicting fatality rates were 0.6211, 0.6641 and 0.7695 (P<0.01). Conclusion The operation method of AIMS65 scoring system is simple and convenient, which is applicable to a wide range of patients with AUGIB. In the prediction of re-bleeding and mortality, AIMS65 scoring system has high accuracy and stability, which is worthy of promoting in clinical application.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 genes(GSTM1 and GSTT1),and eval-uate the oxidative damage in patients with non-small lung cancer(N-SCLC). Methods A total of 110 patients with N-SCLC and 100 healthy indi-viduals were recruited in this case-control study. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction(PCR)analysis was used to identify the genotypes. The activi-ty of malondialdehyde(MDA),nitric oxide(NO),and the total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)were detected by spectroscopic analysis using assay kits. Results The frequencies of the GSTM1,T1,and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes in the patient group were significantly higher than those in control group(OR1=2.071,P1=0.009;OR2=1.900,P2=0.024;OR3=3.258,P3=0.003). The activity of MDA and NO were obviously higher in the pa-tient group compared with the control group(P<0.001),and T-AOC was obviously lower in patient group than those in control group(P<0.001). The activity of MDA,and NO were higher but the T-AOC were lower in patients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes than those in pa-tients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 present genotypes(P<0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that oxidative damage may play a impor-tant role in patients with N-SCLC,and the N-SCLC patients with GSTM1and GSTT1deletion genotypes are more susceptible to oxidative damage.

Objective To study the operative technique and effect of temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta for preventing intraoperative bleeding during cesarean for patients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on the intraoperative situation of forty-one cases and information of follow-up twenty-nine cases, which were pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta and delivered in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Diagnosis was confirmed by line of color Doppler ultrasound and MRI for all patients before operations. An interventional physician performed right femoral artery puncture and preset the abdominal aortic balloon catheter in the digital subtraction angiography operation room before cesarean. At the same time of fetal delivery, 10 ml normal saline was injected into the balloon immediately, which results in filling of the balloon and blocking of the aorta. According to the area and depth of placenta implantation and implantation or penetration of the posterior bladder wall, placenta separation, partial resection of the uterine wall and partial bladder resection and repair were performed correspondingly. Meanwhile, saline in the balloon was pumped out gradually until empty. Condition of placenta implantation, blood loss and blood transfusion volume during the operation, intraoperative and postoperative complications, the duration and dose of fetal radiation exposure, and Apgar score of neonates were analyzed. Results Among the 41 cases, penetrative placenta and implanted placenta were observed in five cases and 36 cases, respectively. The latter 36 cases including 28 cases of bladder posterior wall accreta and eight cases of bladder posterior wall penetration. For all cases, the average operation time was (68.5±15.3) min, the mean blood loss in the operation was (1 058±960) ml, among which eight received blood transfusion with an average of (600±400) ml, and the mean hospital stay was (8.2±2.3) d. Uteruses were reserved in all cases. The mean duration and dose of fetal radiation exposure was (8.1±3.6) s and (5.2±2.9) mGy, and the Apgar score of neonates was 8.7±0.5 at 1 min and 9.5±0.3 at 5 min, respectively. The patients were followed up until October 31, 2014. Among them, six were lost, six were still in puerperium, 18 were breast-feeding, and the menses of 11 had returned. Conclusion Preset abdominal aortic balloon catheter in pernicious placenta previa and placenta accrete patients might effectively reduce the blood loss during cesarean section as well as the risk of hysterectomy through temporary occlusion of the abdominal aorta.
