Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(13):-
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of myocardial damage presented with abdominal pain in children.Methods The clinical data of 33 children with myocardial damage presented with abdominal pain in Beijing Anzhen Hospital during the past 4 years were analyzed.Emergency conditions were ruled out in all cases.Results Among 33 cases with myocardial damage presented with abdominal pain,there were 10 cases of pneumonia,9 cases of acute bronchitis,7 cases of upper respiratory tract infection,1 case of allergic purpura,1 case of myocarditis and 5 cases of unknown causes.The duration of abdominal pain lasted 2 days to 3 months.The characteristics and the duration of abdominal pain were irregular.Mycoplasma antibodies positive were 5 cases (2 cases of bronchitis,3 cases of pneumonia).Coxvirus antibodies were 2 cases.There were different symptoms and signs of myocardial damage.Holter:there were ST-T changes in 23 children and 17 frequent premature ventricular complex(pattern of bigeminy and trigeminy in 7 children,premature atrial complex in 4 children).Creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB were high in 21 children(30-124 U?L-1).Cardiac troponin I were high in 19 children(0.8-1.2 ng?L-1).Chest X-ray:cardiomegaly was noted in 7 children,and the ratio of cardiac and chest were 0.55-0.58.Echocardiography:the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was enlarged in 5 children,the right atrium was enlarged in 1 child.Most abdominal pain was relieved with treatment in 5 to 7 days,and 14 days was the longest.Total treatment course was 2 weeks to 1 month,and 3 months was the longest.But 1 case with myocarditis was recurrent abdominal pain treated nearly 3 months,and lasted to 6 months for recovery.Conclusions It is important to pay attention to cardial examination early,when a child becomes inconsolable from abdominal pain but emergency conditions should be ruled out.
2.Healing effect analysis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in 288 myopic cases
International Eye Science 2014;(12):2226-2228
AlM: To understand the prognostic factors of myopic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment ( RRD) surgery, and provide guidance for clinical treatment.
METHODS: This retrospective study included 288 myopic RRD eyes ( excluding trauma, aphakia, congenital diseases, tractional and exudative retinal detachment ) from April 2007 to April 2014 in our department. The surgical anatomic reduction situation was statistically recorded, the effects of hole's size, retinal detachment duration on sight restoration and surgery success rate were analyzed
RESULTS:The statistical results showed that 245 eyes (85. 1%) healed after their first operation, about 95. 1%cases finally healed after their second or third operation. The degree of myopia and aging factor influenced the RRD operation:the higher degree and the older age were, the lower success rates were (P<0. 05). Through surgery, postoperative visual acuity was significantly better than the preoperative ones ( P<0. 01 ). A higher degree of myopia RRD led to poor visual acuity ( P < 0. 01 ). Postoperative visual acuity of 152 eyes ( 52. 9%) were improved, of which 106 eyes' visual acuity was 0. 05 or more.
CONCLUSlON:Surgery is an effective means of treating myopic RRD. The older patients have lower success rates. A higher degree of myopia led lower reset rate after retinal detachment surgery and poor postoperative visual acuity. When treat myopic RRD, we should pay attention to the recovery of visual function.

4.The Relationship between Perceptions of Nursing College Students regarding Clinical Practice Environment and Related Variables.
Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing 2009;21(1):129-139
PURPOSE: This study was to identify the perceptions of nursing student on the clinical practice environment and related variables. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 180 nursing students from a college participated in clinical practice at four regional hospitals. Data was collected with the questionnaire tool for the perceptions of clinical practice environment. RESULTS: The students highly satisfied in the major had significantly high perception in innovation, personalization, student involvement, and clinical practice satisfaction. The students with a low level of stress and a clearly named guidance nurse were significantly high in the perceptions of task orientation, innovation, personalization, student involvement, and practice satisfaction. Clinical practice environment variables such as task orientation, innovation, individualization, personalization, student involvement, and practice satisfaction were significantly correlated with each other. In student characteristics, the main variables directly influencing the perceptions of clinical practice environment were religion, the level of stress, and the method of guidance. CONCLUSION: Understanding the students' perspective would be valuable for promoting a positive clinical practice environment. Developing a cooperative system between the college and educational hospitals is necessary for effective clinical practice education

7.The Effects of Group Imago Psychotherapy on Comfort and Depression of Patients with Hemodialysis.
Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2000;30(3):791-798
The hemodialysis patients with chronic renal disease have experienced negative emotions, especially depression among with physical, social, and psychological changes. Based upon a stress-coping theory, group imago psychotherapy which can induce effective coping through self awareness and positive emotional responses is implemented to the hemodialysis patients. The effects of the imago psychotherapy in regards to comfort and depression are studied here. Group imago psychotherapy was performed on forty-three subjects(twenty subjects in the experimental group and twenty-three subjects in the control group). The results of the study were as follows. After being given group imago psychotherapy, the comfort scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (F=15.33, p= .003). Moreover, after being given treatment, the depression scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (F=9.14. p=.0044). Specifically, the scores on comfort in the experimental group under emotion-focused coping style were significantly higher than those of the control group (F=18.59, p= .0002). The mean difference on comfort scores in the experimental group under problem - focused coping style was higher than that of the control group. But their scores were not significant (F=0.19, p= .6729). The scores on depression in the experimental group under emotion-focused coping style were significantly lower than those of the control group (F=14.62, p= .0006). The mean difference on depression scores in the experimental group under problem - focused coping style was much lower than that of the control group. But their scores were not significant (F=0.31, p=.5947). There was a significant positive correlation between comfort and depression variables. After group imago psychotherapy the hemodialysis patients recognized positive changes in emotional reponses, self awareness, self control, ease of mind, and felt overall more relaxed. Imago psychotherapy is a nursing intervention which as this study has shown can improve to comfort. The results of this study can be applied to general nursing practices. In the view of holistic nursing, the development of the nursing practice combined with imago psychotherapy will contribute to the enlargement of the nursing field with conventional nursing practices.

The ability of repair and regeneration of central nervous system (CNS) is limited. So many researchers applied themselves to search a valuable cell resource for treating severe diseases of the CNS. Several studies from different laboratories have recently reported that stem cells derived from human umbilical cord blood under certain in vitro conditions can manifest neural features that resemble features of neural-derived cells. In vivo transplantation studies have shown that these stem cells persistently engraft in the CNS, some engrafted cells acquire the characteristics of neurons and glia, and improve functional recovery after central nervous system injury. The existence of stem/progenitor cells with previously unappreciated proliferation and differentiation potential in umbilical cord blood raise the possibility that cord blood may provide an efficient source of cells differentiating into the neural lineage, with a potential to be employed in the therapy of human CNS diseases. The achievement and focuses on the mechanisms and modulation of induction of differentiation and in vitro and in vivo studies in this field was reviewed.

The genetic analysis of herpesviruses has been a constant challenge, due to the large, complex genomes of herpesviruses and mutagenesis of viral genes by conventional recombination methods in cell culture. Recently, a completely new approach for full-length infectious clones of herpesviruses based on bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) has been developed. This technique allows the maintenance, propagation and genetic modification of the viral genome as a BAC plasmid in E.coli, thus making the procedures fast, safe and effective in prokaryotic cells. This technique also makes it possible for the reconstitution of viral progeny or mutants by transfection of the BAC plasmid into eukaryotic cells, thereby facilitating the analysis of viral gene functions in the context of genome. In this presentation, Epstein-Barr virus was used as an example to describe the principle, establishment of the technique and mutation introduction into the BAC plasmid, and to discuss the perspective in the use of BAC-cloned herpesviruses.
