Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2013;29(22):12-15
Objective To explore the effect of information system management mode intervention on quality of life in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods There were 40 SLE patients after hospitalization and the patients condition were under control.But they still needed outpatient treatment.In our study,when they joined the investigation group,the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey (MOS SF-36) scale was used for measuring the quality of life.All patients would receive a baseline questionnaire evaluation before observation and endpoint evaluation after one year.The SF-36scores of all the patients were investigated and analyzed.Results One year later,the SF-36 scores of the patients indicated that the scores of patients' physiological role functioning,general health,social role functioning,emotional role functioning,mental health improved with statistical significance.The scores of patients' physical functioning,physical pain,and vitality had no statistical significance compared with those one year before.Conclusions Information system management mode can provide long-term,systematic and effective management for the SLE patients.It can improve the level of mental health and quality of life for SLE patients.

Objective To study on the effect of dietary nutrition intervention in community on nutrition knowledge and dietary compliance in patients with psoriasis.Methods 40 patients with psoriasis were given a balanced diet pagoda and food exchange method,along with psoriasis nutrition knowledge manual to make individual and concise diet prescription.The nutrition knowledge and dietary compliance of patients before and after the intervention were compared.Results In a nutrition knowledge test,before the intervention,31 patients obtained a score below 60 which accounted for 77.5%,and 9 patients got higher score which meant 22.5% patients had a good dietary compliance.After the intervention,18 patients (45.0%) got a score below 60,while 22 (55.5%) patients got a good score,the results after the intervention were statistically higher than those before the intervention.Conclusions Patients with psoriasis have poor cognitions and bad dietary compliance.After dietary nutrition intervention,the nutrition knowledge is enhanced and the dietary compliance gets higher,the dietary structure is improved,and consequently accelerate the recovery of disease.

Objective To comparative analysis the rabbit VX2 tumors angiogenesis in fatty liver and normal liver,and investigate the correlation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters and their angiogenesis.Methods Rabbit models of fatty liver and normal liver with implanted VX2 tumors were established.Two groups of hepatic backgrounds and VX2 tumors were analyzed by QontraXt quantitative software of CEUS.The expression level of tumor microvascular density (MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected with immunohistochemical techniques and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR).Results ①No significant difference was found in MVD,VEGF protein and gene expression between VX2 tumors in normal liver and fatty liver.The expression of VEGF gene in fatty liver parenchyma were lower than normal liver parenchyma (P <0.05).②There was positive correlation between MVD and peak intensity (r =0.494,P <0.05; r =0.591,P <0.01) both in fatty liver and normal liver VX2 tumors.The expression of VEGF protein were not correlated with TIC parameters (all P > 0.05).③The MVD had positive correlation with expression of VEGF protein in fatty liver and normal liver VX2 tumors (r =0.508,P <0.05; r =0.570,P <0.01).Conclusions The expression of MVD and VEGF had no significant difference between fatty liver and normal liver VX2 tumors.The peak intensity of VX2 tumors CEUS had positive correlation with MVD both in fatty liver and normal liver,which can indirectly reflect MVD expression level and help to evaluate tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in preoperative diagnosis of anal fistula. Methods Forty-five patients with fistula in ano were evaluated by physical examination, then CEUS were peformed by injecting SonoVue through the external opening to enhance the detection of the fistulous track and the internal opening. The results of CEUS were matched with surgical features to establish their accuracy in preoperative assessment of anal fistula. Results Simple typing fistula was found in 19 of 45 patients and 26 patients had complex fistulas. The accurate diagnostic rates by conventional ultrasound of simple typing fistula and complex fistulas were 89. 5% and 61.5%,respectively,the accurate diagnostic rates by CEUS of simple typing fistula and complex fistulas were 94. 7% and 92.3%, respectively, there was no significant difference between conventional ultrasound and CEUS about simple typing fistula( P >0.05), and there was significant difference about complex fistulas ( P <0. 05). Conclusions CEUS has a good visibility and accurate rate for diagnosis of anal fistula,It plays an important role for operation.

Objective To understand the continuous care needs and related services will of the women in puerperium, and analyze the relative factors of the continuity care of those discharged from maternity hospital.Methods A total of 207 delivery women who were discharged from a hospital in Chenghua District Maternal & Child Care Center in Chengdu city from September to December, 2014 were investigated with self-made questionnaires.Results As for newborn babies' continuity care service, what those delivery women care most were newborn babies' common disease prevention and care, and as for their own continuity care service, what they most need were maternal uterine instauration care.Enforcers for continuity of care services were more inclined to obstetricians and pediatricians, and the service forms tended to make telephone calls or do follow-up visits.Time frequency of the follow-up visits was inclined to 7 days once.Delivery women's educational degree (r=-0.216, P<0.01), place of residence (r=0.208, P<0.01), whether they would participate in pregnant Women school (r=0.192, P<0.01), pregnant women school number (r=-0.382, P<0.01),the newborn's tire(r=0.173, P<0.05) and maternal type(r=0.161, P<0.05) were factors that influenced the degree of maternal continued care needs.Conclusions The main factors which influence the continuity care in obstetrics are educational degrees, place of residence and the types of delivery women.As a result, different methods of continuity care service should be established to aim at different groups of people so as to promote the service quality in obstetrics in general to meet the needs of delivery women at all levels.

Objective To explore the correlation between CEUS blood perfusion characteristics and angiogenesis and cell proliferation in nude mice models of gallbladder carcinoma transplant tumor.Methods Nude mice models of gallbladder carcinoma transplant tumor were established.The blood perfusion characteristics of the nude mice models were quantitatively analyzed,CEUS quantitative parameters and the expression levels of microvessel density (MVD),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunohistochemically were obtained.The correlations were performed.Results Twenty tumors were successfully established.The CEUS of 16 tumors was successful.There was positive correlation between peak intensity (PI) and MVD,PCNA (r=0.635,0.514,P=0.008,0.042).The CEUS parameters were not correlated with expression of VEGF.MVD had positive correlation with expression of VEGF,PCNA (r=0.680,0.650,P=0.004,0.006);VEGF had positive correlation with expression of PCNA (r=0.611,P=0.012).Conclusion The PI of CEUS is positive correlation with MVD and PCNA in nude mice models of gallbladder carcinoma transplant tumor,which may be helpful to evaluate tumor angiogenesis and cell proliferation state.The MVD,VEGF and PCNA positively correlates to each other,which indicates there is the relationship of reciprocal promotion between tumor angiogenesis and cell proliferation,and is good for tumor growth.
