Hedging is an important component of vague language. This paper retrieves high frequency expressions of hedgingby using medical English corpus. Pragmatic functions of hedging are analyzed, which can be summarized as politeness principle, authors' self-protection, avoidance of the absolute, pursuit of objectiveness as well as conversational implication. To medical researchers, it is necessary to cultivate the awareness of hedging and learn how to adopt it in their research papers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors,prevention measures and treatment methods of the pulmonary fibrosis patients with nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection. Methods50 pulmonary fibrosis patients with nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection were chosen as the observation group. In the same time,50 pulmonary fibrosis patients without nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection were chosen as the control group. The following factors were compared: hospital stay, corticosteroid use, antibiotic use, invasive procedures, a merger of the underlying disease.ResultsThere were 46％ (23/50) patients had long-term use of antibiotics in the observation group, much more than the control group(26％ ,13/50) ,the difference was statistically significant( P ＜0.05) ;More than half of patients in both groups using glucocorticoids, the ratio in the observation group was 84％ (42/50), which was significantly higher than the control group( P ＜ 0.05) ; In the observation group, the rates of patients with long time hospitalization ( ≥30 days), received invasive procedures, and associated with underlying diseases were much higher than the control group( all P ＜ 0.05). ConclusionMultiple risk factors could lead to the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis patients with nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection,and the positive and effective preventions and standard treatment should be taken.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare type of extranodal lymphoma, and its incidence rate is increasing nowadays. Chemotherapy is the main means for treatment of PCNSL and the efficacy of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) has been confirmed among those chemotherapeutics. Treatments of HD-MTX combined with other drugs have been studied extensively. Progress of HD-MTX and other drugs for PCNSL are reviewed in this article.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of permanent needle of deep venipuncture in early management of extensive burn.Methods:88 patients with extensively burn are analyzed.Results:The success rate of venipuncture was 96%.The effect was satisfactory,while the complication was less.Conclusion:The permanent needle of deep venipuncture shows an important role in early management of extensive burn.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive nursing intervention on the secondary infection in chemotherapy of elderly patients with lung cancer.Methods 168 cases of elderly lung cancer patients whose neutrophil ≤ 1.0×109/L during chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups,namely,the intensive care group and the control group,with 84 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing of infection prevention,while the intensive care group was given intensified nursing for infection prevention.A contrastive analysis was conducted in terms of the incidence,clinical characteristics and the duration of antibiotic treatment of the two groups of patients with secondary infection.Results The secondary infection rate of the intensive care group was lower than that of the control group during chemotherapy.What's more,the duration of fever and treatment of the intensive care group was shorter than that of the control group,hence the patients were safe during infection period.The difference was statistically significant.Conclusions Strengthening the nursing intervention can reduce the incidence rate of secondary infection in aged patients with lung cancer,increase the tolerance of patients to chemotherapy and ensure the successful completion of the chemotherapy cycle,prolong the life span of the patients with an improved quality of life.

Objective To explore the correlative factors of hypotension among hemodialysis patients and to come up with nursing interventions.Methods The histories of 49 maintenance hemodialysis patients were retrospectively reviewed to find out the correlative factors of hypotension and summarize the nursing strategies.Results The major factors for hypotension included large volume of dehydration and fast speed of dehydration in 22 cases,malnutrition and hypoproteinemia in 8 cases,severe anemia in 6 cases,dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system in 5 cases,low concentration of sodium or high temperature of dialysate in 4 case and medication errors and eating too much before or during dialysis in 4 cases.Conclusion The nursing strategies including control of weight,correct assessment of dry weight,right performance of low temperature hemodialysis and sodiun profile hemodialysis as well as mental care to those with depression are critical for prevention of hypotension development in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Trauma is one of the main reasons for the death and disability in children.Ultrasonic tech-nology has been applied in the early assessment and diagnosis of trauma.it is quick,effective,non-invasive, fast imaging,mobile and suitable for different patients and different parts of the body.It has been used to as-sess the organs in patients with severe trauma widely.

Objective: To improve the standardization method for ethanol potassium hydroxide volumetric solution. Methods: A new potentiometric titration method was established and compared with the indicator method described in Chinese Pharmacopeia (2010 edition) . Results:There was no significant difference between the results of the potentiometric method and the indicator method( P>0. 05). Furthermore, the potentiometric titration had significant jump range, good precision and high reliability. Conclusion:The po-tentiometric method can be used in the standardization of ethanol potassium hydroxide volumetric solution.

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of the isolated strains of K lebsiella pneumonia .Methods The strains of K lebsiella pneumonia were isolated from specimens from clinical departments ,and the drug resistance was tested . The results were analyzed .Results There were 415 strains of K lebsiella pneumonia were isolated .The isolated strains distributed mainly in Department of Neurosurgery (36 .1% ) ,Department of Respiratory Medicine (27 .7% ) ,and ICU (16 .9% ) .74 .7% of the strains were isolated from sputum specimens .30 .0% of the isolated strains were ESBLs positive .The drug resistance rates of K leb‐siella pneumonia to meropenem and imipenem were both low to 0 .5% .Conclusion Monitoring the drug resistance of K lebsiella pneumonia is very important to guide the treatment .

To discuss the academic features of Ding-Ganren’s medical records and to provide the references for learning and applying the theories in the book. With bibliography research method, the academic features of Ding-Ganren’s medical records were investigated in academic thoughts, medication characteristic and clinic experience, etc. The academic features of Ding-Ganren’s medical records were summarized into 4 pointes, which are ①good at classical prescription and determination of treatment based in pathogenesis obtained through differentiation of symptoms and signs of typhus and complicated diseases. ②Focusing on six meridians and proposing the combination of cold and warm treatment. ③Mild treatment and claiming gentle application of the medicine. ④Determination of treatment based in pathogenesis obtained through differentiation of symptoms and signs of scarlet fever and emphasizing to distinguish Qi from Ying. Ding-Ganren YiAn has high academic value in research and clinic application and worth further study.
