ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the predictive value of peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(N/L ratio) in patients with hypertension.Methods A total of 660 cases hypertension patients were enrolled from May 2013 to May2014.Peripheral blood N/L ratio was recorded.All patients were followed up to May 31,2016.According to the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,all patients divided into observation group(with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events) and control group(without cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events),and white blood cell classification was compared.Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the value of N/L to predict cardiovascular events.Results The incidence rates of smoking,diabetes and hyperlipidemia in patients of the observation group were 87.5%,72.5% and 77.5%,higher than those of the control group(P<0.05),and the level of mean arterial pressure(MAP) was(95±12) mmHg,significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05).White blood cell count,percentage of neutrophils,mononuclear cell count,N/L of observation group were(11.6±2.5)×109/L,(70.8±5.9)%,(8.3±5.5)% and 3.7±1.5 were higher than control group(P<0.05).N/L increased by 10%(P=0.04),MAP increased by 10 mmHg(P=0.02) and the proportion of neutrophils(N%) increased by 15%(P=0.03) were independent risk factors for death in patients.Conclusion Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and mean arterial blood pressure were independent risk factors for hypertension patients with West-to-cerebral vascular events.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the postoperative secondary xerostomia′s uncomfortable experience of patients with long fating in gastrointestinal surgery, providing basis for medical staff to understand comfort needs of patients and to take targeted nursing intervention. Methods The phenomenological methodology was used in the study. Totally 12 patients with postoperative secondary xerostomia′s uncomfortable experience were interviewed, and tape recording was used. The data was analyzed by Colaizzi analysis method. Results Four themes were extracted: emotional response to patients with postoperative xerostomia, uncomfortable experience of mouth, the insufficient cognition of fating in perioperative period, desire for attention to solve the problem of dry mouth. Conclusions Medical staff should strengthen the awareness of the patients′experience with secondary and temporary dry mouth, and improve the nursing intervention measures according to need, in order to increase patients′comfort and to promote them recover soon.
ABSTRACT
Online teaching has recently become a new way in medical education, to which great importance has been attached by domestic educational circles. The design principles, overall framework and functional structure of the online course platform in Peking Medical College were thus described with its implementation and characteristics summarized in the hope of providing certain reference for its building in domestic medical colleges and universities.
ABSTRACT
After a description of the status quo of information literacy education in domestic colleges and universi-ties and the information literacy courses offered in University of Illinois according to The framework for information literacy in higher education, the information literacy courses offered in University of Illinois according to The frame‐work for information literacy in higher education were analyzed in aspects of their teaching target, teaching contents and teaching methods, with suggestions put forward for domestic information literacy education, including construc-tion of information literacy courses system and implementation of flexible teaching methods.
ABSTRACT
It is the responsibility of the society to improve the health literacy of residents and the public health-o-riented popular science information service is a rather effective measure to improve the health literacy of residents. However , the public health literary is rather low and the public health-oriented popular science information service is far behind satisfaction. The ways and key factors were thus put forward for public health-oriented popular science information service in medical library by analyzing the advantageous medical information resources, advanced tech-nical equipments and professional staff in medical library.
ABSTRACT
After a descrption of the background of patron-driven acquisition ( PDA) or demand-driven acquision (DDA) and its short-term loan model, purchase model, auto-purchase model, librain-purchase model, and evi-dence-based acquisition model, the total amount of resources in common PDA platform, PDA models and their users were analyzed.The key problems in PDA implementation were pointed out, such as formulation of criteria for the development of resources, control of funds, mangement of MARC data, and assessment of PDA project, and sug-gestions were put forward for their solution .
ABSTRACT
After the significance to asses the value of information resources in hospital library was elaborated, the methods to assess the value of information resources in hospital library were constructed by contingent valuation and investment return analysis in combination with the practical service in hospital library according to the analysis of the economic value assessment in domestic and foreign public libraries and academic libraries.
ABSTRACT
The extended service in domestic and foreign medical libraries was summarized according to the trans-formation of medical library and the need of public health information followed by a description of some typical cases of extended service provided by MedlinePlus website , Disaster Medical Information Management Research Center , and patient libraries in order to provide the reference for domestic medical libraries to cary out their extended service .
ABSTRACT
The languages, types and number of digital resources in 8 domestic medical and pharmaceutical college and university libraries were analyzed , which showed that although certain successes have been achieved in devel-opment of digital resources in these libraries, there are some problems needing to be solved, such as weakness in new digital resources development , insufficient integration of free and open access resources , insufficient organiza-tion and revealing of resources .Suggestions were put forward for the solution of these problems , such as optimizing digital resource structure, developing characteristic digital resources, sufficient organizing and revealing digital re-sources.
ABSTRACT
The problems in resources support in Library of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were analyzed according to the investigation on the utilization of and demand for information resources in 23 scientific researchers and 37 students in Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.Certain suggestions were put forward for the solution of these problems in terms of adjustment and optimization of subject resources, in-formation organization and revealing, exchange and communication between users, recommendation and training of subject resources .
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for setting codes in national New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NRC-MS) drug catalog. METHODS:Current conditions of drug catalog coding at home and abroad were introduced,the problems in the process of setting codes in national NRCMS drug catalog were analyzed and the countermeasures were put forward. RESULTS& CONCLUSIONS:Existing drug catalog codes mainly include those published by World Health Organization(WHO)in anatomi-cal,therapeutic and chemical classification system,and those in Chemical (Raw Material and Preparation) Classification and Code of China,Classification and Code of Drugs Covered by Social Insurance,meanwhile,the setting code method of relevant drugs can be also learnt from Chinese Pharmacopoeia and National Essential Drug List,etc. In setting codes in national NRCMS drug catalog,there were problems such as difficulty in classifying and mapping drug codes,insufficient authority of references for drug codes,too many reference standards for drug codes,and poor normalization of drug code extension. We should further refer to definitely authoritative standards for drug codes,establish appropriate rules on drug code integrated mapping,develop uniform and perfect drug code category set,and establish a system subject to continuous update and an effective evaluation mechanism,to solve the problems in the process of setting codes in national NRCMS drug catalog.
