Objective To understand the knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) status and relative demand to combined oral contraceptives (COCs) in medical staffs of obstetric and gynecological department in Tianjin, providing reference basis for the effective intervention measures. Methods By using random, stratified and clustered sampling approach, we selected 382 medical staffs of obstetric and gynecological department in Tianjin. A self-administered Questionnaire on COCs KAP was employed to survey the general characteristics, awareness of COCs knowledge, attitudes to COCs, service capabilities of contraceptive counseling, prescribing behavior and request of continuing education. Results The respondents showed de?fects in COCs indications, non-contraceptive benefits, relationship with cancer and birth defects. The average knowledge score was higher in doctors than that of nurses. The higher the titles and qualifications, the higher the knowledge score. A to?tal of 90.11%of respondents believed that strengthening the contraceptive guidance can help to reduce pregnancy. Strength?ening the interpretation of misunderstanding (81.04%) and enhancing the treatment and follow-up of adverse reactions (62.09%) can help to reduce stop taking. Only 25.82%of respondents could provide detailed COCs relative consulting servic?es;42.96%of obstetricians and gynecologists refused prescribing COCs for women over the age of 40 for the purpose of con?traception. A total of 93.13%medical personnel showed demand on relative training. Conclusion It’s necessary to perform continuing education to medical staffs via different intervention, so as to improve their cognitive level to COCs, ameliorate COCs relative attitudes and behavior, and help them providing better service to women of childbearing age.

Objective To compare the effects of propofol versus isoflurane on brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and explore the difference in the effects of the two anesthetics on the brainstem. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-50 yr without heating disorder, scheduled for elective surgery performed under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 15 each): propofol group (group P) and isoflurane group (group Ⅰ). SpO2, PET CO2, BIS and BAEP were continuously monitored before and during anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced by propofol administered by TCI or isoflurane inhalation. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated. PET CO2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg and SpO2 at 98%-100%. After intubation BIS was maintained at 70 and 50 respectively ,the latency of the wave Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅴ and the inter-peak latency (IPL) betwecn wave Ⅰ -Ⅲ , Ⅲ-Ⅴ and Ⅰ -Ⅴ were recorded.Results In group P there was no significant difference in the latency of the wave Ⅰ , Ⅲ and Ⅴ and the IPL between wave Ⅰ - Ⅲ , Ⅲ - Ⅴ and Ⅰ - Ⅴ between the baseline before anesthesia and at BIS 70 and 50. In group Ⅰ the latency of wave Ⅲ and Ⅴ and the IPL between wave Ⅰ - Ⅲ , Ⅲ - Ⅴ and Ⅰ - Ⅴ were significantly longer at BIS 50 than the baseline before anesthesia, while the latency of wave Ⅲ and Ⅴ and the IPL between wave Ⅰ -Ⅲ andⅠ -Ⅴ at BIS 50 were significantly longer than that at BIS 70. At BIS 50 the latency of wave Ⅴ and the IPL between wave Ⅰ -Ⅴ were significantly longer in group Ⅰ than in group P. Conclusion At comparable depth of anesthesia propofol exerts less depressant effects on BAEP indicating less depression of brainstem.
