ObjectiveTo determine the epidemiological characteristics of norovirus infections in Lin’an District, Hangzhou City from 2012 to 2020, and provide scientific evidence for improving preventive and control measures. MethodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to characterize the epidemic and conduct statistical analysis to determine related factors. ResultsA total of 37 clustered outbreaks of norovirus infection were reported in Lin’an District of Hangzhou from 2012 to 2020, including 8 outbreaks in kindergartens, 15 ones in elementary schools, 8 ones in middle and high schools, 2 ones in universities, and 4 other ones. The total number of cases with norovirus infection was 1 194, with the average attack rate of 3.76%. The incidence of norovirus was higher in winter and spring. It was also higher in urban areas, followed by suburban and mountainous areas neighbored to traffic lines. Moreover, attack rates differed significantly by transmission routes, including mixed contact and aerosol transmission, contact transmission, food-borne transmission, and water-borne transmission (χ2=186.91,P<0.001). There was significant difference in the incidence among kindergartens, schools, and universities (χ2=980.15,P<0.001). In the 37 outbreaks, norovirus were mainly classified as GⅡ in the 34 ones (accounting for 91.89%), and GⅠ in the remaining 3 ones. ConclusionThe epidemic of norovirus infection in Lin’an District, Hangzhou City is characterized by certain population, time, space, transmission routes, and strains. It warrants enhanced health education and promotion, preparedness and response plan, syndromic surveillance, early alerting, school closure, and environmental disinfection for further prevention and control of norovirus infection.

Objective To summary the nursing methods of patients who use ultrasound-guided thermal ablation to treat severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.Methods Retrospective analysis was used to analyze the nursing process of 10 patients who use ultrasound-guided thermal ablation to treat severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation was applied to patients with significant cardiopulmonary dysfunction and cannot undergo general anaesthesia operation, and patients suffering from recurrent forearm grafting after parathyroidectomy. So, in the nursing of these patients, we should pay special attention to the observation and management of specific complications in thermal ablation including dyspnea, apnea, laryngeal and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and hemorrhage, besides the routine psychological care, diet nursing and medication nursing.Results Ten patients in the study who underwent ultrasound-guided thermal ablation, the intact serum parathyroid hormone ( intact parathyroid hormone, iPTH ) , calcium and phosphorus were all decreased, and symptoms like itching, general bone pain also were released. The frequency of precordial pain was reduced and we gain good therapeutic effect.Conclusions Rigorous nursing after ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can promote the recovery of patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Objective To evaluate the effect of five-segemental care model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods A total of 70 community-dwelling COPD patients with non-invasive mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into two groups, with 35 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received routine discharge guidance and follow-up education, while the patients and their family members in the experimental group participated in five-segemental care model within two months after discharge. The frequency of acute exacerbations, lung function and blood gas parameters, as well as the quality of life when discharge and at 6 months after discharge were compared between two groups. Results After 6 month of discharge, the PaCO2 , PaO2 and FEV1/FVC of the experimental group were (61. 3 ± 5. 2)mmHg, (58. 4 ± 4. 7) mmHg, and (66. 8 ± 16. 3)%, which had no significant differences compared with the control groups (t= -0. 159,0. 477, 0. 968;P>0. 05). After 6 month of discharge, the times of acute exacerbation were (2. 5 ± 1. 1) of the experimental group and (3. 4 ± 2. 1) of the control group. There was significant difference between two groups (t= -3. 696,P<0. 01). Conclusions The application of five-segemental care model can improve COPD patients′ self-care knowledge and skills, promote patients′compliance on the application of non-invasive mechanical ventilation, reduce the frequency of acute exacerbations and improve the patients′quality of life.

Objective To observe therapeutic effects of HuGanJieXian decoction on rats hepatic fibrosis induced by tetrachloride. Methods Rat models of hepatic fibrosis were constructed by intraperitoneal injection of tetrachloride.HuGanJieXian decoction composed of low, middle, and high dose curcumin were given to these rats respectively at the same time. Sho-saiko-to compound treatment group and Fufangbiejiarangan Tablets treatment group were made as positive control groups. After twelve weeks, all rats were executed. Serum samples were kept for measuring serum levels of PC-Ⅲ, LN, and HA. Left livers were extirpated for pathologic examination including H.E and Masson stainings. Grade of hepatic fibrosis were evaluated according to SSS system. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) of supematant centrifugated from hepatic tissue homogenate were detected. Results Serum levels of PC-Ⅲ, LN, and HA were depressed obviously in decoction groups compared with those of fibrotic group (P<0.05) , especially in the low-dose curcumin group.HuGanJieXian Decoction could increase the level of SOD and decrease the level of MDA (P<0.05) , especially in the low-dose curcumin group. Staining of H. E and Masson showed that degrees of hepatic fibrosis in decoction groups were improved obviously compared with that of the fibrotic group. Conclusion HuGanJieXian Decoction can improve rat hepatic fibrosis, the mechanism of this effect may be associated with protecting hepatic cell membrane and anti- peroxidative damage.
