Objective To know the current state of environment pollution in the surrounding of the smelteries of gold and silver with indigenous method and provide a reference for the environment pollution control. Methods The occupational and environmental hygiene investigation were conducted during Apr.-Jul.,2000,the level of arsenic in the samples collected from the surrounding of the smelteries was determined. Results Primitive gold-silver smelting had such problems as backward production processes,the irrational distribution of enterprises,no treatment of “the three wastes” and serious harm to the ecological environment. The concentrations of both arsenic and lead in the environmental medium were heavily over the standard limits and some patients with chronic arsenic poisoning were found among the local residents. Conclusion Primitive gold-silver smelting may produce serious environmental pollution which can induce the health impacts of the local people.

Objective To observe the effect of Rood therapy intervened very early on development of premature infants. Methods 148 hospital-born infants gestated 32 weeks with high risk of brain injury were divided into intervention group (n=74) and control group (n=74).All the cases accepted routine treatment and nursing, and the intervention group accepted Rood therapy in addition. They were followed up to 28th day, assessed with Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA). Results The NBNA score was more in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05) in all the sub-scores except primitive reflexes. Conclusion Rood therapy is useful to improve the neural development in premature infants in 32 to 36 weeks.

Objective To formulate a comprehensive and reasonable admission nursing assessment sheet with specialty features, so as to improve quality of nursing assessment for patients at admission to Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery. Methods According to characteristics of patients newly admitted to Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery and need of medical service,a nursing assessment sheet suitable for inpatients to Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery was designed,with main contents including basic information, physical examinations for nursing,conditions of daily life,social and psychological conditions,specialty examinations,risk of falling down from bed,and risk of pressure sores. Incidence rate of adverse nursing events like patients' falling down from bed or pressure sores,and the patients' satisfaction were compared before (June 2014 to May 2015) and after (June 2015 to May 2016) application of this sheet. Results After application of this new version of admission nursing assessment sheet,incidence of adverse nursing events happened to inpatients dropped from 2.95% to 0.91% (χ2=4.386,P< 0.05);patients' satisfaction increased from (83.16±10.62) to (90.41±8.66) (t=14.103,P<0.05). Conclusions By using this new version of admission nursing assessment sheet,status of the patients can be assessed in a diversified and multi-dimensional way,so that incidence of falling down from the bed can be lowered,medical risks be decreases,patients' satisfaction be increased,and nursing efficiency be improved,which make it worth promoting in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery.

Conjunctival sac rinsing is one of the most common and important operations to prevent eye infections in ophthalmology department,as well as one of the major ophthalmic techniques to ensure the surgery successfully. This paper will report the creative design and clinical application of water collector for conjunctival sac rinsing,which can improve patients′ comfort,decrease the douche spillover and the time of conjunctival sac rinsing operation for nurses.

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate long-term survivals and toxicities of early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in endemic area, evaluating the role of chemotherapy in stage II patients. Materials and Methods: Totally 187 patients with newly diagnosed NPC and restaged American Joint Committee on Cancer/ International Union Against Cancer 8th T1-2N0-1M0 were retrospectively recruited. All received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)±chemotherapy (CT) from 2001 to 2010. Results: With 15.7-year median follow-up, 10-year locoregional recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) were 93.3%, 93.5%, 92.9% and 88.2%, respectively. Multivariable analyses showed cervical lymph nodes positive and pre-treatment prognostic nutritional index ≥ 52.0 could independently predict DMFS (p=0.036 and p=0.011), DSS (p=0.014 and p=0.026), and OS (p=0.002 and p < 0.001); Charlson comorbidity index < 3 points could predict DSS (p=0.011); age > 45 years (p=0.002) and pre-treatment lactate dehydrogenase ≥ 240 U/L (p < 0.001) predicted OS. No grade 4 late toxicity happened; grade 3 late toxicities included subcutaneous fibrosis (4.3%), deafness or otitis (4.8%), skin dystrophy (2.1%), and xerostomia (1.1%). No differences on survivals were shown between IMRT+CT vs. IMRT alone in stage II patients, even in T2N1M0 (p > 0.05). Unsurprising, patients in IMRT+CT had more acute gastrointestinal reaction, myelosuppression, mucositis, late ear toxicity, and cranial nerve injury (all p < 0.05) than IMRT alone group. Conclusion Superior tumor control and satisfying long-term outcomes could be achieved with IMRT in early-stage NPC with mild late toxicities. As CT would bring more toxicities, it should be carefully performed to stage II patients.
