To compare the intra cuff pressure changes during improved and the traditional method of cuff pressure measurement, then evaluate the effects of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) prevention. The results highlighted practical recommendations in the process of ETT cuff pressure measurement. Methods① Experimental studies were carried out on the tracheal model with two groups: traditional pressure measurement group and improved pressure measurement group. The traditional pressure measurement group was connected to a handheld pressure gauge with the indicate cuff to get the intra-cuff pressure. The improved method was to insert a 3-way stopcock between the handheld pressure gauge and the indicate cuff. The 3-way stopcock to stabilize handheld pressure gauge reading at 32 cmH2O (1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa) before measure the intra-cuff pressure. The pressure loss caused by two pressure measurement methods and the leakage of liquid on the balloon after 10 minutes was compared.② Clinical researches: a historic cohort study, patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital from June 2014 to May 2018 were enrolled. The control group (249 cases) was treated with traditional method during June 2014 to May 2016, and the observation group (314 cases) was treated with improved method during June 2016 to May 2018. Clusters of strategies and actions of VAP prevention were applied in both groups. Incidence of VAP, duration of MV, and the length of ICU stay were compared between the two groups. Results ① Experimental study: the pressure leakage of the traditional pressure measurement group was (10.18±0.47) cmH2O, and that of the improved pressure measurement group was (1.33±0.42) cmH2O, with statistically significant difference between the two groups (t = 32.535, P = 0.000). All fluid on the cuffs leak after 10 minutes of traditional ways of measurement, however, no visible fluid on the cuffs leaked with improved procedures. ② Clinical research: the incidence of VAP in the observation group was slightly lower than that in the control group, however there was no significant difference [5.10% (16/314) vs. 8.43% (21/249), P > 0.05]. The duration of MV and the length of ICU stay in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (days: 9.93±3.14 vs. 16.77±5.45, 11.63 ±2.28 vs. 19.12±5.10, both P < 0.01). Conclusion The improved procedures of intra-cuff pressure measurement is a practical method to avoid the pressure leakage and fluid leakage, and the clinical course of MV patients can be significantly improved by combining the clusters of nursing strategies and actions.

Objective To investigate the association between the level of polymorphism of APOE gene and cognitive impairment in patients with CNS demyelinating diseases. Methods 56 patients with central nervous system demyelinating disease were applied APOE genotyping,MoCA and expanded disability status (EDSS) scale score. Patients with MOCA scores <26 were divided into cognitive impairment group, and those with MOCA scores ≥26 were divided into normal cognitive preserved group. Results The probability of cognitive dysfunction in patients with central nervous system demyelinating diseases was 53.57%. There was no significant difference in age, gender, and disease duration between the CI group and the CP group(P>0.05), the difference in age and education among groups is statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the difference in age, sex, education years and EDSS score between APOEε4 gene positive group and APOEε4 gene negative group (P<0.05). The difference of visual space and attention between different cognitive domains is statistically significant(P<0.05). Years of schooling is a risk factor for cognitive dysfunction in patients with central nervous system demyelinating disease(P<0.01). Conclusion The central nervous system demyelinating disease is impaired cognitive function. Patients with APOEε4 gene positive are more severely impaired in visual space and attention than patients with negative APOEε4 gene.Years of education are the risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in patients with central nervous system demyelinating disease. The course of disease and disabled function may not be significant related to cognitive impairment.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the hemiarthroplasty for the threatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients.
METHODSFrom August 2013 to January 2017, 66 elderly patients with complicated femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated including 20 males and 46 females with an average age of 85 years old ranging from 80 to 95. According to improve Evans classification, 33 cases were type III, 24 cases were type IV, 9 cases were type V. History included 31 cases of hypertension, 10 cases of diabetes, 12 cases of severe osteoporosis, 5 cases of atrial fibrillation, 3 cases of pulmonary heart disease, and 1 case of multiple myeloma. Hip hemiarthroplasty was used in 34 cases and internal fixation in 32 cases. The bleeding volume, complications and Harris scores of the two groups were observed and compared.
RESULTSThe amount of blood loss during and after operation were(320±20) ml and(200±25) ml in the joint replacement group, and (350±30) ml and(250±30) ml in the internal fixation group, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups(>0.05). All patients were followed up for an average of 2 years. The Harris score of the joint replacement group was 85.0±6.4, which was higher than that of the internal fixation group (72.0±3.4)(<0.05). The difference of complications between the two groups was statistically significant (<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures have many basic diseases, and the expected survival time is short. Using artificial bipolar femoral head prosthesis can restore the hip function early and to the maximum degree, make the patients get down in the bed early, effectively reduce the complications caused by internal fixation, improve the patient's quality of life and satisfaction, and early treatment. It is a kind of supplemental treatment, which conforms to the theory of rapid rehabilitation surgery and injury control, but should not expand the indication and strengthen the management of the perioperative period.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of autologous stem Hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.
METHODSA retrospective study was conducted for 56 patients diagnosed with MM and then received auto-HSCT in our hospital from December 2008 to September 2016.
RESULTSAll the patients successfully underwent hematopoietic reconstruction without transplantation-related mortality (TRM). The complete response (CR) rate of all the patients after induction chemotherapy was 23.2% (13/56), while the CR rate of these patients with auto-HSCT increased to 78.6% (44/56) (P<0.01). The CR plus VGPR (very good partial response) rates of these 56 patients after induction chemotherapy and auto-HSCT were 53.6%(30/56)and 94.6%(53/56) respectively (P<0.01). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time and median overall survival (OS) time were 37 and 71 months, respectively. The median PFS time in the patients with induction therapy containing bortezomib was 37 months, however, the median OS time did not reach to 71 months; the median PFS (P<0.01) and the median OS (P<0.01) in the patients with the induction chemotherapy without bortezomib was 27 and 51 months, respectively. Univariate analysis demonstrated that the patients maintained CR or VGPR after auto-HSCT or with less than 6 cycles of induction chemotherapy significantly correlated with PFS (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONauto-HSCT can further increase the CR rate, prolong PFS and OS time. Sequential auto-HSCT after bortezomib-based therapy is the first line therapy for the transplant-eligible MM patients. Maintenance treatment is beneficial to the sustained CR+VGPR patients after auto-HSCT.

ObjectiveEndothelial cells (ECs) are important metabolic and endocrinal organs which play a significant role in regulating vascular function. Vascular ECs, located between the blood and vascular tissues, can not only complete the metabolism of blood and interstitial fluid but also synthesize and secrete a variety of biologically active substances to maintain vascular tension and keep a normal flow of blood and long-term patency. Therefore, this article presents a systematic review of common injuries and healing mechanisms for the vascular endothelium.
Data SourcesAn extensive search in the PubMed database was undertaken, focusing on research published after 2003 with keywords including endothelium, vascular, wounds and injuries, and wound healing.
Study SelectionSeveral types of articles, including original studies and literature reviews, were identified and reviewed to summarize common injury and repair processes of the endothelial lining.
ResultsEndothelial injury is closely related to the development of multiple cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the mechanism of vascular endothelial injury is not fully understood. Numerous studies have shown that the mechanisms of EC injury mainly involve inflammatory reactions, physical stimulation, chemical poisons, concurrency of related diseases, and molecular changes. Endothelial progenitor cells play an important role during the process of endothelial repair after such injuries. What's more, a variety of restorative cells, changes in cytokines and molecules, chemical drugs, certain RNAs, regulation of blood pressure, and physical fitness training protect the endothelial lining by reducing the inducing factors, inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress reactions, and delaying endothelial caducity.
ConclusionsECs are always in the process of being damaged. Several therapeutic targets and drugs were seeked to protect the endothelium and promote repair.
