OBJECTIVE To explore the status of nosocomial infection,infection sites of patients and susceptible factors of infection in neuro-intensive care unit(NICU) in order to correspondently prevent and control the occurrence of nosocomial infection.METHODS The clinical data of 471 patients admitted to NICU from Mar 2005 to Feb 2006 were investigated retrospectively.RESULTS Out of 471 cases in one year,a total of 90 cases of nosocomial infection were found.The rate of nosocomial infection was 19.11%.Among the nosocomial infection sites,the respiratory tract was the most frequent one(46.67%).The second was urinary tract(44.17%).The patients aged of more than 60 years,or with urethral catheter,mechanical ventilation,vein intubations,or with long medical intubation suffered infection more susceptibly than other patients.The infection rate of nosocomial infection was significantly different from hospitalization group.Sex was not evidently related to nosocomial infection.CONCLUSIONS The rate of nosocomial infection in NICU is largely higher than the total rate of infection.The susceptible factors are age,long-term hospitalization,invasive operations and long medical intubation.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improving effects of argatroban on the brain damage of model rats with cerebral hemor-rhage. METHODS:50 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group(equivalent normal saline),model group(equiva-lent normal saline),argatroban high,medium and low dose groups (0.75,1.5,3 mg/kg). All groups,except for normal control group,were reproduced models with cerebral hemorrhage,and the rats in each group were treated by corresponding drugs after 30 min,ip,once a day. The rats were executed after continuous administration for 3 days. The data was detected,including the con-tents of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),activity of cysteine-containing aspartic protease 3(Caspase-3), expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2)and MMP-9,and the phosphorylations of nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) p65 and IκBα. RESULTS:Compared with the normal control group,the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β,the activity of Cas-pase-3,the expressions of MMP-2,MMP-9 and Bax proteins were increased;the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased;and phos-phorylations of NF- κB p65 and IκBα in model group were increased,with significant differences(P<0.01). Compared with the model group,the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β,the activity of Caspase-3,the expressions of MMP-2,MMP-9 and Bax were de-creased;the expression of Bcl-2 was increased;and phosphorylations of NF-κB p65 and IκBα in argatroban low,medium and high dose groups were decreased,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). And it was positively correlated with the dose. CONCLUSIONS:Argatroban has dose-dependent inhibition effects on the inflammatory cytokine secretion and apoptosis of brain tissue of model rats with brain hemorrhage,and the mechanism may be related to NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To compare the reproducibility and reliability of facial soft tissue landmarks using a direct and an indirect placement methods in facial three-dimensional (3D) soft tissue assessment.Methods 3D coordinates of 37 soft tissue landmarks were obtained respectively in 35 normal healthy volunteers from 3D optical capture system and Materialise's interactive medical image control system (Mimics).Landmarks were affixed on the cutaneous surface (direct method) and marked on the 3D reconstructed craniofacial model (indirect method).Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) and paired t-tests were used to compare the reliability and reproducibility of facial landmarks between two placement methods.Results For the direct placement method,86.5 ％ landmarks had an ICC higher than 0.75.For the indirect placement method,75.7％ landmarks had an ICC higher than 0.75.The inter-observer variability using the direct placement method was (1.259±0.566) mm,which was significantly smaller (P＜0.05) than (1.420±0.638) mm obtained by the indirect placement method.Conclusions Compared with indirect method,direct method has higher reliability and reproducibility in evaluating facial soft tissue.

Objective To explore the effect of action research based on group learning in hospice care module for nursing students. Methods 82 students were divided into cooperative learning group (40) and conventional teaching group (42). The cognition and attitude of good death questionnaire was used to evaluate teaching effect before and after teaching of hospice care. After teaching, self-feedback and self-feedback questionnaire were made to evaluate the effect of cooperative learning group. SPSS 17 was used to make comparison of data between groups and within groups, and t test, chi square test or Fisher exact probability 2 were also used . Results There were no difference between two groups of nurses before teaching. The students' cognitive level and attitude in cooperative learning group increased significantly, especially their cognitive level of physiological needs (t=5.398, P=0.001), cognition and attitude of death education in intervention group was higher than control group (t=2.992, P=0.004; t=3.661, P=0.001). Although 95% of the nursing students of the cooperative learning group thought group cooperative studying could improve their interests and cultivated their comprehensive abilities, only 50% could accept this kind of studying methods . Conclusions Action research based on group cooperative studying can improve students' cognitive level and attitude of good death, and it is also good for cultivating their ability of au-tonomous learning, innovation, cooperation, and meanwhile, educational action research is a good way to improve both teaching effect and research ability of teacher staffs, but in practice, students' acceptance of group learning needs to be improved.
