Objective: To investigate the impact of anemia on prognosis for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 220 ACS patients with successful PCI were studied. According to WHO standard, anemia was deifned by HB<130 g/L in male, HB<120 g/L in female, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Anemia group,n=56 and Non-anemia group, n=164, clinical condition was followed-up for 1 year to record the incidence of major adverse cardiac events ( MACE); based on MACE incidence, the patients were divided into another 2 groups: MACE group,n=61, Non-MACE group,n=159, clinical condition with relevant risk factors were analyzed and compared between 2 groups. Results: The patients’ mean age was at (62.39 ± 10.17) years, the ratio of anemia was 26.8% (56/220). Compared with Non-anemia group, the patients in Anemia group had more female gender and 3-vessel disease, higher Gensini score and MACE incidence; while decreased eGFR, lower levels of TC, TG and lower ratios of hypertension and smoking, allP<0.05. Compared with Non-MACE group, the patients in MACE group had the elder age, higher occurrence rates of anemia, diabetes, left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF<50%) and decreased eGFR, allP<0.05-0.001. Logistic analysis indicated that anemia (OR=2.507, 95% CI 1.012-6.208,P=0.047) was the independent risk factors for MACE occurrence in ACS patients at 1 year after PCI. Conclusion: ACS patients combining anemia had the higher incidence of MACE, anemia was the independent risk factor for poor prognosis in ACS patients after PCI.

The paper described the necessity of the doctor-patient information exchange platform,and defects found in existing platforms. Such a platform is conducive to higher hospital informationization, better patient satisfaction, and better social and economic benefits of the hospital.The hospital may improve its quality of care and patient satisfaction by means of the platform

Classic problem-based learning ( PBL ) was applied in a medical microbiology course.The results of questionnaire survey showed most of the students were satisfied with the whole learning program.They thought the case was appropriate,and the discussing could increase their understanding of the knowledge.Based on the problems faced during the application and the students' feedback,the duty of the tutors,summary of the learning topic,arrangement of the course,application of different teaching methods,and selection of the tutors were discussed in detail.

Objective To study the effect of bird's nest nursing on the vital signs,gastroenteric function,body weight and growth of premature infants.Methods 456 cases of premature infants were divided into the warm box group and the bird's nest group randomly according to odd and even number of birth,namely 228 cases in each group.The warm box group adopted routine nursing care.The bird's nest group adopted routine nursing care and bird's nest nursing in the mean time,namely the bird's nest wag put into the warm box,the premature infants slept in the pre-heated bird's nest.The condition of the two groups Was compared.Results On the first day of birth,there were no statistical difference(P＞0.05)between the two groups in respiration,heart rate,milk amount and body weight.On the seventh and fourteenth day,respiration and heart rate were stable and milk amount and body weight increased rapidly in bird's nest group.There Was statistical difference(P＜0.05)between the two groups.In bird's nest group,the premature had long sleeping time and body temperature-fluctuation was reduced.There was statistical differencere(P＜0.01)between the two groups.Conclusions After the bird's nest was used in premature care,diseases were recovered rapidly,hospitalization days were shortened and it was beneficial to the development of intelligence and body and mind of the premature infants.

Objective To examine the expressions of AQP1 and VEGF in human hepatitis B associated hepatocellular c arcinoma and to investigate its relationship with the occurrence and development of hepatocellularcarcinoma. Methods AQP1 and VEGF expressionsin the cancer tissues and AQP1 and VEGF levels in the serum were detected in 62 cases of hepatocellula carcinomaby immunohistochemistry and ELISA , respectively. Results The expressions of AQP1 and VEGF in the liver cancers were significantly higher than in the normal tissues (P<0.01). The higher expression was related to pathologic type,degrees of differentiation and lymph node metastasis, but not related to sex, age and TNM stages. In the serum of liver cancer, the concentrations of AQP1 and VEGF were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusion High expressions of AQP1 and VEGF in the patients with liver cancer may be correlated to the occurrence and development of liver cancer. Plasma levels ofAQP1 and VEGF may be more meaningful for the evaluation of clinical prognosis.

Though the occurrence of multiple primary malignant tumor is a rare finding but the reported cases of it has increased in recent years. We collected multiple primary cancer of different organ, tissue and the multicentric origin of bilaterally paired organs. This paper reports 6 cases of multiple primary malignant tumors which were experienced at Yeungnam university hospital in Taegu during the past 2 years with review of journals. The results were as follows. 1. The incidence of multiple primary cancer was 0.31% for 2 years (1987-1988). 2. The ratio between male and female was 1:1 and mean age of incidence was 54.1 years. 3. The ratio between synchronous and metachronous (interval more than 6 months) was 1:1. 4. The time interval between first and second cancer was average 2.7 years in metachronous cases. 5. The most frequent involved organ was stomach, breast and colon in order of frequency. 6. The incidence of familial cancer associations was found in one out of 6 cases. 7. The test of DNCB, multitest CMI and ratio of T4 to T8 were performed in 4 cases but there was no definitive evidence of abnormality. We concluded that every effort should be made to discover the presence of synchronous malignancies in the patients who are being treated for a known tumor, and also special care should be given to detect new metachronous lesions is required.
