Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) and endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) combined with small endoscopic sphincterotomy (SEST) in treatment of large choledocholithiasis. Methods 78 patients with large choledocholithiasis from January 2014 to December 2015 were randomly divided into EPBD group, and combination treatment group. The level of bilirubin, transaminase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) before and after the operation, the success rates of stone removal, serum amylase of 24 h after the operation, the operation times of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and whether complicated with postoperative pancreatitis were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference of the success rates of stone removal, serum amylase of 24 h after the operation, the operation times of ERCP between the two groups. The level of bilirubin, transaminase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was declined after EPBD or EPBD and SEST, and the results of the two groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Also there was no significant difference of the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis, postoperative bleeding and postoperative hyperamylasemia between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion EPBD is worthy of promoting because it has a similar clinical efficacy and safety to EPBD and SEST in treatment of large choledocholithiasis.

Objective To explore the application effect of de-escalation thinking shift mode in emergency condition of morning shift meeting. Methods Guided by the de-escalation thinking, critical ill patients transfer tables were established in the emergency department, patients admitted into the emergency resuscitation room were selected from January 2015 to December 2015, and divided into the observation group (329 cases) and the control group ( 310 cases) . Patients in the control group applied the traditional oral shift meeting mode by the bed to check the patient; patients in the observation group applied the de-escalation thinking shift mode of morning shift meeting, followed by the specification of morning shift process and content; additionally, the cooperation of nursing staff, the transfer of nursing adverse events, nurses awareness of the patient′s condition, the patient satisfaction survey were counted before and after the implementation, respectively. Results Chinese version of Nursing Assessment Shift Report (NASR) was used to evaluate the cooperation status between the two sides of nursing staffs, and the mean scores of nursing staffs were 60.50±1.80 and 78.20±2.50 in the control group and the observation group, respectively, showing statistical significance (t=14.23, P<0.01);before application, corresponding statistical results regarding the shift meeting related nursing adverse events showed that there were 5 cases of infusion prolapse/leakage, 2 cases of pressure ulcer, 3 cases of pipe extrusion, and 2 cases of delayed drug delivery;after application, there were 2 cases of infusion prolapse/leakage, 0 case of pressure ulcer, 1 case of pipe extrusion, and 1 case of delayed drug delivery;comparison results showed significantly statistical difference (χ2=1.76-6.74, P<0.05). Before application, assessment results regarding the mean scores of nurses awareness of the patient's condition showed that mean scores of patients′ state of illness, test results, current treatment, potential risk, and nursing focus were 3.83 ± 0.62, 3.16 ± 0.64, 4.17 ± 0.36, 3.47 ± 1.26, and 3.64 ± 1.10, respectively;and after application, mean scores of patients′state of illness, test results, current treatment, potential risk, and nursing focus were 4.71 ± 0.27, 4.53±0.66, 4.89 ± 0.10, 4.50 ± 0.61, and 4.72 ± 0.43, respectively;the differences were statistically significant (t=-8.86--3.35, P<0.05). Furthermore, patient satisfaction with nursing staff in emergency department was improved from 91.6%(284/310) to 96.0%(316/329)(χ2 =25.74,P<0.05). Conclusions The application of de-escalation thinking shift mode in emergency condition of morning shift meeting may contribute to the specification of the transfer process, improvement of nursing work efficiency, and finally result in the promotion of patients′safety and teamwork.

Aim To study the effect of EA on the injury induced by ?-amyloid protein(A?) in primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons. Methods The protective effect of EA on A?_25-35 induced neurons injury was observed by LDH release rate, MTT, LSCM and TUNEL. Results A?_25-35 could induced cell death in rat primary hippocampal neurons. Four hours pretreatment with 20 mg?L-1, 40 mg?L-1 EA exerted the protective effect on rat primary hippocampal neurons from A?_25-35 induced injury. Conclusion EA had protective effects against injury induced by A?_25-35 in rat primary hippocampal neurons to some certain,which probably related with decreasing the level of calcium.

A new animal model of multiple system organ failure (MSOF) in rabbits is used in this experiment. The purpose of the current study is to observe dynamically the changes in the intestinal flora, the relationship between the changes and bacterial translocation to various organs and endotoxemia. The results show that there is no obvious alteration in population of Bacteroides, but a significant increase in enteric bacilli population in the contents of the ileocecum is found. Changes in the intestinal micro-flora correlate to the positive bacterial culture of the blood, viscera, and the level of endotoxin in the plasma. The results of our work suggest that ecological imbalance in the intestinal flora may promote-the gut-derived septic process and the development of MSOF.

Objective To discuss the application of prospective risk nursing measures in reducing the occurrence of postoperative local hematoma at femoral artery puncture site. Methods A total of 605 patients receiving femoral artery puncture for interventional management were collected as the control group , and 322 patients were used as the intervention group. The risk factors causing postoperative local hematoma at femoral artery puncture site in the control group were recorded, and based on which risk estimation survey table was designed. According to risk estimation survey, the prospective intervention measures, including risk assessment, standardization of professional training, individual health education, the improvement of care appliance, etc. were carried out for the patients of the intervention group. The occurrences of postoperative local hematoma at femoral artery puncture site were recorded and the results were compared between the two groups. Results No statistically significant differences in demographic and clinical data existed between the two groups. However, the incidence of hematoma in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ2 = 4.652, P < 0.05), although the difference in the severity of hematoma was not significant between the two groups. Conclusion The use of prospective risk nursing measures can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative hematoma at femoral artery puncture site.
