Objective: In order to search the credible parameters of evoked potentials (EP) for the depth of anesthesia. Method: The end-expiratory concentration of isoflurane was increased gradually from 0.2MAC by step of 0.1MAC in each of ten volunteers. The change of EP and the consciousness were observed at every end expiratory anesthetic concentrations. The explicit and implicit memories about intra-experiment events were investigated an hour after stopping inhalation of isoflurane. Result: The explicit memory disappeared at 0.2 and 0.3MAC of isoflurane without the stimulation of pain; The response to command disappeared at 0.3 and 0.4MAC; 0.4MAC of isoflurane could not vanish implicit memory in all subjects. The latencies of waves Pa and Nb of the MLAEP and P_(25) of the SEP prolonged gradually with increased concentrations of isoflurane in a linear relationship, and varied with the changes of response to command. The latency corresponding to the partial response increased significantly compared with that to the full response, but without difference between the partial and no response. Meanwhile the latencies of waves Pa, Nb and P_(25) increased significantly with the disappearances of explicit and implicit memory, without differences between the conscious and unconscious awareness. The critical values of latencies about those waves which could be applied to assess the disappearance of explicit memory, were defined. Conclusion: The disappearance of consciousness is not all-ornone but gradual. The sequence of disappearance about consciousness is explicit memory, response to command, then implicit memory. There is no explicit memory about stimulation of pain after response to command has vanished, but implicit memory may still exit. The waves Pa and Nb of MLAEP and the wave P_(25) of SEP may be regarded as important parameters to evaluate the depth of anesthesia about consciousness.

Objective To discuss influence and curative effect of bifid triple viable capsules combined with lactulose on colonic transit function of patients with chronic functional constipation(CFC). Methods A total of 78 cases with CFC were divided into research group and control group randomly. The patients in two groups were given basic medical treatment, such as diet structure adjustment, plenty of water, defecation training and etc. The patients in research group were additionally bifid triple viable capsules combined with lactulose oral fluid, with 420 mg bifid triple viable cap-sules, three times a day with warm boiled water, and 10 mL lactulose oral fluid, three times a day, 30 minutes before dinner for 6 weeks. The patients in control group were only given lactulose oral fluid with the same method, dose and course of treatment were same as in research group. The changes of total colonic transit time (TCTT) in two groups before and after medical treatment were observed, and the clinical curative effect, adverse drug reactions(ADR) and re-occurrence rate of one-year following-up were compared as well. Results After 6 weeks'treatment, TCTT in two groups were obviously declined than before (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the declining rate in research group was much higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The total clinical efficiency of patients in research group was much higher than that in control group (χ2=5.19, P<0.05). 6 cases of ADR were appeared in two groups during the medical treatment, with 4 and 2 cases in control group and research group respectively with light symptom, and after comparing the occurrence rates in two groups, no statistical differences were appeared (χ2=0.18, P>0.05). According to one-year following-up, the reoccurrence in research group was much lower than that in control group (χ2=5.19, P<0.05). Conclusion Compare with pure lactulose oral fluid, bifid triple viable capsules combined with lactulose oral fluid have better curative effect and with favorable security on CFC, which can obviously improve the colonic transit function, shorten TCTT, improve constipation symptom and reduce the reoccurrence rate.

Objective:
To investigate the current situation and related factors of the ecological environment and health literacy level of medical college students in Shiyan City, so as to propose relevant countermeasures and suggestions for improvement in these domains.
Methods:
From May to June 2023, 1 312 medical students from Hubei University of Medicine in Shiyan City were selected by accidental sampling to investigate the level and influencing factors of the ecological environment and health literacy among this population. The Chi square test and binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the different characteristics and main influencing factors of the ecological environment and health literacy levels in this population.
Results:
The level of the ecological environment and health literacy level among medical students in Shiyan City was 24.3%. Different levels of ecological environmental and health literacy were observed among medical students by gender, grade, major and ethnicity ( χ 2=5.13, 54.87 , 64.71, 5.99, P <0.05). Higher rates were also observed among public health major students than among students of other majors. The first three classification literacy levels consisting of basic literacy, basic knowledge, and basic skills were 4.6%, 49.5 % and 50.4%, respectively. The possession rates of six secondary classification indicators were as follows:basic cognition ( 53.2 %), basic attitudes (34.5%), scientific knowledge (3.0%), behavioral knowledge (22.5%), cognitive skills (59.5%) and operational skills (48.6%). The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that ethnic minorities and biomedical majors were negatively correlated with medical students ecological environment and health literacy ( OR =0.61,0.52), while female students, public health majors, sophomores and seniors were positively correlated with medical students ecological environment and health literacy ( OR=1.44, 1.95, 2.16, 2.24, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The overall level of ecological environment and health literacy among medical students in Shiyan City is low. Schools should popularize environmental health knowledge from different perspectives in order to improve the overall literacy level of environmental health literacy among medical students.

Objective:To understand the current situation of nurses′ implementation of oral care for elderly patients, so as to improve oral care practice standard and quality of oral care constantly.Methods:Using convenient sampling method, 190 nurses in the general ward of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were selected as the research object from September to November 2020. The self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate and analyze the implementation of oral care among elderly patients.Results:A total of 190 questionnaires were collected in this survey, 84.74%(161/190) of the nurses reported that the hospital or department had oral care practice standard; The proportion of nurses who evaluated the oral status of elderly patients by the oral care assessment tool was 17.89%(34/190).Only 14.74%(28/190) and 16.84%(32/190) of the nurses could always set the expected rehabilitation goals and formulate the corresponding nursing plans for the oral problems of elderly patients, respectively. When the elderly patients had special oral problems, 26.32% (50/190) of the nurses would proactively communicate with doctors or search literature; the oral knowledge and oral hygiene habits of the elderly patients would be known to nurses accounting for 5.26% (10/190).Conclusions:Nurses′ cognition of oral care for elderly patients is at a low level on the structure, process and outcome.Relevant nursing managers still need to further improve the oral care operation norms and the training of nurses′ knowledge and skills, so as to continuously promote the oral health of elderly patients.
