120 cases were treated by microlaryngoscopic surgery alone from March to December 1985. Among them, 73 cases were polypoid cord, 28 cases vocal cord nodule, and 19 cases of other conditions. The immediate curative results were good in 114 cases, 5 cases fair and only 1 case was poor. The postoperative complications are: dentes primoris moving in 2 cases and aerodermectasia in 1 case. The operation method is very satisfactory through an endotracheal tube without laryngeal injury. It can accomplish the unsuccessful operation done by mirior, direct and fibrous laryngoscopy surgery. The patients were under general anesthesia by an endotracheal tube without any pain or anxiety and can obtain good relaxation. The authors wish to recommend this technique to treat the related laryngeal disease.

Objective Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing ( PUSH) was published in 1998 by National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel ( NPUAP) as a tool to evaluate the effects of pressure ulcer care.This study aimed to verify the reliability and validity of the Chi-nese version of PUSH in order to provide an efficient and reliable tool for evaluating the effects of pressure ulcer care. Methods Using the Brislin translation model, we translated the English version of PUSH into Chinese and finalized the Chinese version through modifica-tion by an advisory panel, pretests, and verification of its reliability and validity in the care of 126 cases of stage-Ⅱ-Ⅳpressure ulcers. We analyzed the reliability and validity of the scale based on its item scores, content validity, construct validity, Cronbach′s αcoeffi-cient, and test-retest reliability. Results The correlation coefficient value of the total and individual item scores was 0.616-0.963 (P<0.01).Each individual item score was significantly higher in the 27%high-score group (n=35) than in the 27%low-score group (n=36).The total content validity coefficient was 0.965, the correlation coefficient of construct validity between the total and individual item scores was 0.750-0.954 (P<0.01), and that between individual items was 0.666-0.826 (P<0.01), with statistically signifi-cant differences between the total and individual item scores at 7 and 21 days after treatment (P<0.01).The Cronbach′s αreliability coefficient value of the total score was 0.823 and those of individual item scores were 0.770, 0.791, and 0.868, respectively.The inter-rater reliability coefficients were all >0.85 and the test-retest reliabili-ty coefficients of individual items were 0.826, 0.885, and 0.958, re-spectively ( P<0.01) . Conclusion The Chinese version of PUSH, with its high validity and reliability, can be used to evaluate interven-tion effectiveness of Chinese patients with pressure ulcers.

OBJECTIVES: We assessed the role of social support in presenteeism by examining organizational commitment among Chinese healthcare workers. METHODS: One thousand four hundred thirty-four healthcare workers from 6 hospitals in 4 Chinese cities completed a questionnaire measuring presenteeism, social support, and organizational commitment. With organizational commitment as the mediator, regression analyses and structural equation modeling were used to test the model. RESULTS: Organizational commitment was directly inversely associated with presenteeism (β = - 0.42, p < 0.001). Coworker support was moderately but significantly inversely associated with presenteeism (β = - 0.15, p < 0.001), but the path from supervisor support to presenteeism was not significant (β = 0.05, p > 0.05). The correlation between supervisor support and coworker support was significant (β = 0.71, p <0.001). Supervisor support and coworker support were significantly positively associated with organizational commitment (β = 0.41, p < 0.001, and β = 0.14, p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Supervisor support was more important in promoting organizational commitment, while coworker support was more effective in reducing presenteeism. The mediating effect of organizational commitment was significant.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of clinical nursing pathway(CNP) on clinical nursing of patients with pneumoconiosis. METHODS: A total of 120 patients with pneumoconiosis were selected as the subjects by the judgment sampling method. The patients were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine treatment and nursing after admission, while the patients in the observation group were treated similarly to that of the control group plus CNP. The treatment of patients in both groups were carried out until they were discharged from hospital. General Self-Efficacy Scale, Medical Coping Style Questionnaire and Quality of Life Scale were used to measure the self-efficacy, coping style and of quality of life of these two groups before and after the implementation of CNP. RESULTS: Before the implementation of CNP, there was no significant difference in the scores of self-efficacy, three dimensions of coping style and four dimensions quality of life between the two groups(P>0.05). After the implementation of CNP, the scores of self-efficacy, face dimension and quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.01). The scores of surrender and avoidance dimensions decreased(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The implementation of CNP can improve the self-efficacy, coping style and quality of life of pneumoconiosis patients.
