ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation of fatigue and life quality of lung cancer patients after chemotherapy. Method A survey was conducted among 54 lung cancer patients after chemotherapy with revised piper fatigue scale ( PFS ) and medical outcomes study (SF-36). Result The total score of PFS of lung cancer patients was (6.44 ± 1.62). The score of SF-36 related area include physical dimension (58.47 ± 5.48), psychological dimension (55.04 ± 4.91) and social dimension (49.21 ± 4.77) environment dimension (52.86 ± 4.98). The total score of PFS was negatively correlated with physical, psychological and environmental dimensions (P<0.05), and not correlated with social dimension (P<0.05). Conclusions The cancer-related fatigue and life quality of lung cancer patient is at medium-severe level, and their life quality is at low level. Positive and effective psychological intervention and psychological nursing can reduce cancer-related fatigue and improve their life quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a rapid,specific and sensitive TaqMan real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay for detection of murine polyomavirus ( MPyV) .Methods The specific primers and TaqMan probe were designed based on genome sequence of MPyV.The primers amplified a 69 bp fragment.After optimizing the reaction system and reaction condition, the standard curve was plotted by detecting recombinant plasmid standards.The specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility of this method were evaluated.In addition, samples of lungs, spleens and feces obtained from experimentally infected mice and 86 clinical samples were used to validate the efficacy of this real-time PCR assay.Results The specificity assay showed that this assay could specifically detect MPyV and the sensitivity for MPyV was about 100 copies/well.The coefficients of variation ( CV) of both intra-assay and inter-assay were less than 1.13%.All of the samples from experimentally infected mice were positive for MPyV and 3 out of 86 clinical samples were positive by this TaqMan-PCR detection with a positive rate of 3.5%.Conclusions The real-time fluorescence quantitative TaqMan-PCR assay established in this study has high specificity, sensitivity and stability.It can be used for clinical diagnosis, routine detection and epidemiological investigation of murine polyomavirus infections.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore effect of rehabilitation training on deglutition disorders of children with cerebral palsy . Methods Twenty-seven children patients from January to June in 2013 were set as control group and thirty-one patients from July 2013 to January 2014 as experiment group. The children in the control group were treated with tube-feeding combined with spoon feeding and bottle-feeding by professional nurse. Children in the experiment group were treated with oral rehabilitation training by professional therapists and nurses apart from the same feeding as in the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of effect of deglutition within 4 weeks, time and rate of removing the stomach tube. Results The recovery of deglutition function in the experiment group was much better than that in the control group , the total effective rate and rate of removing the stomach tube within 3 months were higher and the intubation duration was significantly lower as compared with those of the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Rehabilitation training can improve the recovery of deglutition disorders, improve active feeding ability of children with cerebral palsy, shorten time of tube feeding and improve their life quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of quality ciecle on improving nurses application ablitiy in operating monitors. Methods Quality circle group was established in the department of general surgery and the circulation of plan-do-check-action was used in the groups for continuous quality control of ECG monitor application.The satisfaction of nurses with ECG monitor management and consuming time of ECG monitor installation were compared between pre-and post-enforcement of quality control circulation. Results After use of quality control circulation,the nurses were more satisfied with the maintenance of ECG monitoring and they knew better about their right storage and disposition and where the monitors were(all P<0.001).Conclusion The quality circle may effectively regulate ECG monitor management,improve applying proficiency of nurses and effectively improve work efficiency,so it is worth clinically applying.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of the improved monitoring system for pressure ulcers? Method The monitoring system for pressure ulcers was improved and the measures were as follows:completing the organizational system for managing ulcers, fulfilling the regulations,revising the report form and enforcing classified nursing training? Result The accuracy rate of risk assessment and the methods for using wet dressings and negative pressure drainage were significantly improved and the effects by using decompression and skin-prevention pads were significantly better than those before improving the monitoring system(P < 0?05)?Conclusion The improved monitoring system for pressure ulcers may help to improve the clinical practice of pressure ulcers?
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Suprasorb G and Suprasorb H on peripheral phlebitis above stage Ⅱ. Methods 64 patients with peripheral phlebitis above Stage Ⅱ were randomly divided into the observation group (36 patients) and the control group (28 patients). The observation group used Suprasorb G, and the control group used Suprasorb H. All cases were tested with the change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, the pain score, the red swelling of the skin and the palpable vascular cord. Results After treatment with Suprasorb H or Suprasorb G, there were significant differences in the change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, red swelling of the skin, pain score and the change of palpable vascular cord by self-contrast before and after treatment. Significant differences existed in change of stage of peripheral phlebitis, and red swelling of the skin and the change of palpable vascular cord at 48 and 72 hours, but no change was seen in pain score between 2 groups. Conclusions Suprasorb G and Suprasorb H beth show good effect in treatment of peripheral phlebitis, but Suprasorb G is better than Suprasorb H in improving the stage of peripheral phlebitis, also in reducing the area of red swelling of the skin and the palpable vascular cord with passage of time. But there is no difference in releasing of pain caused by peripheral phlebitis between them.
