Objective To observe the effect of parenteral nutrition (PN) on the protein storage and immunofunction in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods PN regimes consisted of nonprotein calories (NPC) 20-25 kcal/(kg·d) and nitrogen 0.15-0.20 g/(kg·d), the energy ratio of the glucose and fat emulsion was 2∶1. The PN solution was infused by total nutrition admixture (TNA), 12-16 hours per day for 7 days in 21 liver cirrhosis patients. Perior to the surgery and at 1st, 4th, 7th postoperative day, serum pre-Alb, transferrin (TSF), immunofunction (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, CH50, C3, C4, CD3, CD4, CD8, NKC), and nitrogen balance were tested. Results Serum pre-Alb, TSF, nitrogen balance and IgG, IgE, CH50, CD3, CD4, NKC were significantly decreased (Ｐ＜0.05), but the foregoing indices were higher than those of postoperative 1, 4d as compared with postoperative 7d. Conclusion These results bly indicated that postoperative nutritional support is safe and useful, and improve the patient’s nutritional status and immunofunction.

Methods Sixty-four nurses starting work between January 2008 and October 2009 in our hospital were investigated by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and Coping Style Questionnaire. Results The scores of compulsion and mental disorder, average score, and the number of positive items were statistically higher than the national norm of China (Plt;0.001). The scores of athymia, anxiety, hostility, and phobia factors were higher than the national norm (Plt;0.01). The score of paranoid factor was also statistically higher than the national norm (Plt;0.05). Based on the results of SCL-90, we found that the scores of factors of self-accusation, fantasy, back-off (Plt;0.05) and the factor of rationalization (Plt;0.01) in the positive group were significantly higher than those of the negative group. Compared with the result of the research made by WU Chao and his colleges, the average scores of such factors as back-off (Plt;0.001), fantasy (Plt;0.01) and self-accusation (Plt;0.05) were statistically higher in the study group than those in the control group. Conclusion The psychological states of new nurses are worse than the general population. Compared with older nurses, new nurses are more inclined to use immature coping styles. Mature coping styles are favorable to their psychological states. The nursing regulators should pay more attention to the psychological states of new nurses and guide them to use mature coping styles to improve their psychological states.
Objective To investigate the health status of residents in rural areas of China as well as their needs for health service, and to explore the effective way to improve the health status of rural residents so as to provide a basis for the training of community healthcare professionals. Methods Using the method of stratified cluster random sampling, we investigated 4190 rural residents from 1200 families, which were sampled from 13 provinces of China according to the geographical distribution. Results The 2-week prevalence rate was 27.9%. 32.7% of the patients saw a doctor, and 20.5% did not take any measures. Among those who did not take any measures, 78.4% thought their illness was mild and did not need any treatment; and the second reason for no treatment was lack of money (accounting for 36.5%). The prevalence rate of chronic diseases during the past half year was 24.9%, among which lumbar and leg pain was the most prevalent (accounting for 7.8%), followed by hypertension (accounting for 5.5%). The rates of visiting a doctor were 43.9% and 61.5% in township level and village level health institutions, respectively, during the past one year. 70.0% of the patients looked for treatment, 8.4% chose to ignore, and 20.8% took medicine by themselves. Among those who visited a doctor, 61.0% preferred hospitals near their houses, and 34.0% preferred those with lower expenses. More than half of the residents (accounting for 57.3%) did not have any physical examination during the past 3 years, and 28.3% did have a check-up but not regularly. Among the rural residents investigated, 64.2% obtained health care knowledge from television, newspapers, books and radio broadcasting, and 67.3% were desirous of regular physical examination. 56.3% and 33.1% of the rural residents considered the skill of the healthcare professionals in town-level institutions to be acceptable and satisfactory, respectively; and 61.7% and 24.6% evaluated the skill of those in village-level institutions to be acceptable and satisfactory, respectively. Conclusion The health status of rural residents is not optimistic, and their health behaviors need to be correctly guided, and the medical facilities and healthcare service quality of primary healthcare institutions should be improved. It is suggested that the government and medical colleges take the responsibility to train healthcare professionals for the primary health care in rural areas.
Objective To compare the cl inical results between high-flexion and standard cruciate-stabling prostheses in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by using the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36). Methods Between August 2007 and January 2009, 98 patients (106 knees) underwent TKA with standard cruciate-stabl ing prostheses (standard group), and 46 patients (50 knees) underwent TKA with high-flexion prostheses (high-flexion group). In standard group, there were30 males (32 knees) and 68 females (74 knees) with an age of (70.0 ± 3.5) years, including 78 cases (82 knees) of osteoarthritis (OA) and 20 cases (24 knees) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a disease duration of (14.5 ± 3.3) years; the Hospital for Special Surgery Scoring System (HSS) and the range of motion (ROM) were 56.1 ± 21.6 and (89.0 ± 16.1)°, respectively. In high-flexion group, there were 8 males (10 knees) and 38 females (40 knees) with an age of (68.6 ± 8.9) years, including 44 cases (47 knees) of OA and 2 cases (3 knees) of RA with a disease duration of (13.9 ± 4.1) years; the HSS and ROM were 58.9 ± 25.3 and (91.0 ± 19.3)°, respectively. There was no significant difference in the general data (P gt; 0.05) between 2 groups, so the cl inical data of 2 groups had comparabil ity. Results In standard group, poor wound heal ing and persistent headache caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 1 case, respectively. In high-flexion group, transient common peroneal nerve palsy occurred in 1 case. There was significant difference (P lt; 0.05) in the hospital ization expense between standard group [ (39 000 ± 6 000)] and highflexion goup [ (52 000 ± 8 000)]. The follow-up time was 12-26 months (18 months on average) in standard group (91 cases, 98 knees) and 11-19 months (13 months on average) in high-flexion group (44 cases, 47 knees). The SF-36 showed significant difference in role-physical score (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference in other 7 indices scores (P gt; 0.05). At the final follow-up, the ROM was (129.1 ± 19.2)° in high-flexion group and (123.6 ± 16.7)° in standard group; showing significant difference (P lt; 0.05). The HSS was 91.2 ± 17.6 in high-flexion group and 92.5 ± 14.5 in standard group; showing no significant difference (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion After TKA, the ROM in high-flexion group is superior to that in standard group, but there is no obvious advantages in terms of the HSS and SF- 36 outcomes.
Objective To perform a cross-sectional study on mental situations of parents of student victims in Wenchuan earthquake and analysis the data to produce best evidences for the government on their decision-making. Methods By the use of questionnaires, interviewer, and observation, we performed field study on 225 student victims’ parents selected by simple random sampling to collect their demographic characteristics, economic and mental status. Results (1) Of the 123 student victims the only child of the family account for 91.87%, female account for 50.41%, the pupil and below, the middle school student, and the college account for 48.78%, 50.41%, 0.81% respectively. (2) Mental and behavior differences between fathers and mothers were significant. (3) The parents declining to accept the death of their children are not in a good social support. (4) The parents with good family economics and high education are more likely to accept the death of children. Conclusion (1) We should build a ‘Mutual Aid’ organization to help those parents construct a good social support net. (2) To take the advantage of rural hospitals to build the long-acting mechanism of the psychological intervention. (3) To perform the psychological intervention corresponding to right period and right aimed group.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the dietary and nutritional status of elderly patients with chronic non-infectious diseases in community hospitals in order to make a reasonable dietary pattern for these patients. MethodsA total of 179 elderly patients with chronic non-infectious diseases in a community hospital of Chengdu from January to September 2014 were collected, and we investigated them on their dietary status and basic personal information. The desirable dietary pattern (DDP) score was adopted to evaluate their dietary and nutritional status. ResultsDDP score of the 179 patients with chronic non-infectious diseases in the community hospital was 91.47, and the dietary quality was relatively good. While the DDP scores of animal food and edible oil exceeded the maximum allowable value, DDP scores of the staple food, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits were lower than the expected scores. ConclusionIt is suggested that meat and other animal food intake be reduced and replaced by regular intakes of poultry, fish and shrimp, and the intake of staple food, eggs, vegetables, fruits be increased to ensure a balanced diet.
Objective To investigate the basic condition and psychological health status of children in rural areas of Xibaipo town in Hebei province, learn the psychological problems of the leftover children and their influencing factors, and provide scientific basis for the school and family education for the leftover children. Methods A questionnaire survey was performed on 446 middle and primary school students in Xibaipo town, and the self-designed questionnaire was applied to collect the basic condition, family condition and psychological health status of the children. EpiData 3.0 and SPSS 17.0 were used to perform data entry and data analyses, respectively. Results The survey displayed that the leftover children accounted for 43.5% of the total number of students. The negative emotion of leftover children was significantly ber than that of non-leftover children (χ2=12.484, Plt;0.001), especially for children with both parents living far away. The main factors affecting children’s emotion were their academic performance and whether they were left behind by their parents. Conclusion The psychological health status of the leftover children is poorer than that of non-leftover children, especially for children with both parents working outside and mothers working outside. Being left over and the academic performance are the factors affecting children’s mental condition. More attention should be paid to the physical and mental development of leftover children and vigorous efforts should be exerted to formulate corresponding policies and take countermeasures so as to promote healthy growth of children.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo compare the reliability of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and APACHE Ⅲ to estimate mortality of critical patients in abdominal surgery. MethodsTwo hundred and sixtyone critical patients in abdominal surgery were included in this study. The clinical data of the first day in ICU were collected and evaluated with both APACHE Ⅱand APACHE Ⅲ prognostic systems and statistical analysis were performed. Probability of survival (Ps) was compared with actual mortality. ResultsThe scores of APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ of death group were significantly higher than those of survival group respectively (P＜0.01). The actual mortality of patients whose Ps was no more than 0.5 was higher than that whose Ps was over 0.5 (P＜0.01). With two prognostic systems, the scores and mortality were the highest in pancreatitis patients and the lowest in patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor. ConclusionAPACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ prognostic systems can be effectively applied to the estimation of mortality of critical patients in abdominal surgery. For certain diagnostic categories, APACHE Ⅲ is better than APACHE Ⅱprognostic system.
ObjiectiveTo obtain reliable evidence of diagnosis and treatment through evaluating the validity of pneumonia severity index (PSI), CURB-65 and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) scores in predicting risk stratification, severity evaluation and prognosis in elderly community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients.MethodsClinical and demographic data were collected and retrospectively analyzed in 125 in-hospital patients with CAP admitted in Shanghai Dahua Hospital from January 2012 to April 2015. The severity of pneumonia was calculated with PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡgroups during 1 to 3 days after admission. Mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates were evaluated among patients in each scores and was categorized into three classes, namely mild, moderate and severe groups during 1 to 3 days after admission. Mortality and ICU admission rates were evaluated among patients in each severity level. Through evaluating the sensitivity, specificity, the predicting values and the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) among PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ, the validity and consistency of these three scoring systems were assessed.ResultsUsing PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ scoring systems, the patients were categorized into mild severity (48.8%, 64.0% and 52.8%, respectively), moderate severity (37.6%, 23.2% and 32.0%, respectively) and severe severity (13.6%, 12.8% and 15.2%, respectively). In PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ systems, the mortality in high risk groups was 41.3%, 62.5% and 47.4%, respectively; The ICU-admission rate in high risk groups was 88.3%, 100.0% and 94.7%, respectively. The sensitivity of PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ was 50.0%, 71.4% and 64.3% in predicting mortality, and was 46.8%, 50.0% and 59.3% in predicting ICU-admission, respectively. PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ showed similar specificity (approximately 90%) in predicting mortality and ICU admission. ROC was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of PSI, APACHEⅡ and CURB-65 in predicting mortality and ICU admission. The AUC had no significant difference among these three scoring systems. The AUC of PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡwas 0.893, 0.871, 0.880, respectively for predicting mortality, and was 0.949, 0.837, 0.949, respectively for predicting ICU admission. There was no significant difference among these three scoring in predicting mortality and ICU admission (all P>0.05).ConclusionsPSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ performed similarly and achieved high predictive values in elderly patients with CAP. The three scoring systems are consistent in predicting mortality risk in elderly CAP patients. The CURB-65 is more sensitive in predicting the risk of death, and more early in identifing patients with high risk of death. The APACHEⅡ is more sensitive in predicting the risk of ICU admission, and has good value in identifying severe patients and choosing the right treatment sites.
