ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of transitional nursing on medicine-taking compliance and insight of first hospitalized female schizophrenic patients.Methods:Seventy female cases who met ICD-10 diagnostic criteria that were discharged after stable treatment were randomly divided into intervention group and control group, 35 cases for each group.The medicine-taking compliance of the two groups was evaluated by the Morisky medication adherence scale, and the treatment effect was evaluated by the Insight and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ).The follow-up period was two months after discharge with four assessment points.Results:The Morisky scores in intervention group at the end of 1 week[ (4.7±1.2) vs. (4.0±0.8) ], 2 weeks[ (5.1±1.2) vs. (3.8±1.1) ], 1 month[ (5.1±1.5) vs. (3.5±1.2) ]and 2 months[ (5.8±1.2) vs. (3.3±1.0) ]were higher than those in control group (F=52.74, P＜0.001).The ITAQ scores in intervention group at the end of 1 week[ (3.4±2.1) vs. (2.9±1.4) ], 2 weeks[ (5.5±3.2) vs. (3.7±2.5) ], 1 month[ (4.6±2.7) vs. (4.5±2.7) ]and 2 months[ (6.9±3.4) vs. (3.9±2.6) ]were also higher than those in control group (F=7.12, P=0.010).Conclusion:Transitional nursing can improve the medicine-taking compliance and rehabilitation effect of first hospitalized female schizophrenic patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the job burnout of the nurses in sterile laminar flow wards and offer proposals for improvements.Methods Forty nurses in sterile laminar flow wards were surveyed with MBI-GS.Results The scores of emotional exhaustion,cynicism,job inefficiency were higher after working in sterile laminar flow wards for 3 months than those working in general wards for 3 months.Conclusions The nurses in laminar flow wards are prone to have job burnout.Standardized training,humanized management and positive psvchological intervention can improve the job burnout of the nurses in laminar flow wards.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of focused ultrasound for treating non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar. Methods212 patients with non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar were treated with focused ultrasound. The patients were followed up after the treatment,and symptom was observed and the efficacy was evaluated. ResultsThe efficacy of non - neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar of squamous hyperplasia,lichen sclerosus and mixed dystrophy was 99.2％, 100. 0％, 88.9％ respectively, the difference was not significat (P ＞ 0.05 ). The efficacy in different courses of patients was 100.0％ ( ＜ 2 years), 100.0％ (2 ～10 years) ,91.3％( ＞ 10 years) respectively,the difference was not significat( P ＞ 0.05). ConclusionFocused ultrasound was obviously effective in the treatment of patients with non-neoplastic epithelial disorders of vulvar.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(ABA) outbreak of nosocomial infection in the respiratory intensive care unit(RICU),to explore effective measures for prevention and control.METHODS In RICU on April 3 to 30 2009,patients under mechanical ventilation in the respiratory tract with MDRABA were conductd epidemiological surveys.RESULTS On 27 consecutive days,six cases occurred in mechanical ventilation in patients with lower respiratory tract MDRABA infection,of which 5 patients were cured;6 cases of lower respiratory tract of patients in sputum specimens isolated the same resistance spectrum MDRABA.CONCLUSIONS Medical personnel lack the consciousness of washing their hands.Indoor environment,air disinfection machine lack of supervision in mechanical ventilation patients with lower respiratory tract MDRABA,were the main reasons of infection outbreak.Strict isolation of patients should be strengthened,full implementation of hand-washing compliance,education,conventional screening,early intervention to prevent outbreak of hospital infection.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the status quo of pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance of hospital infection in intensive care unit,to provide evidence for the guidance of clinical rational administration and to decrease the hospital infection. METHODS Pathogenic bacteria were isolated from patients who suffered from hospital infection in intensive care unit from 2001 to 2004.K-B slip diffusion method was taken to carry out the sensitive test.Rate of drug resistance of the pathogenic bacteria was analyzed. RESULTS As the bacteria distribution,the highest isolated rate was 60.77%,which was isolated from the sample of respiratory tract.The main pathogenic bacteria were the Gram-negative bacilli(47.69%).And the second pathogenic bacteria were the mycetes(37.69%).The Gram-positive cocci(14.62%) occupied the third.The monitoring of the drug resistance showed that rate of the drug fast was rather higher.The detection rate of the meticillin-resistant staphylococci was 81.82%.The detection rate of the ESBLs from the Escherichia coli and the Klebsiella pneumoniae was 75.00% and 57.14%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS Intensive care unit is one of the highest risk departments for the hospital infection.Generally,the pathogenic bacteria are the multidrug-resistant ones.Enhanced monitoring on pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance analyses of hospital infection in intensive care unit could benefit for the guide of clinical rational administration,the depression of multidrug-resistant bacteria,and the decrease in hospital infection.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of apolipoprotein B (apoB) and E (apoE) genetic variations on lipid profile at baseline (before treatment), and also on the subsequent response to simvastatin therapy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty-eight patients with hyperlipidemia were treated with simvastatin 5mg daily. The plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) and apo B were measured pre-treatment and at the end of the 4th, 8th and 12th post-treatment week. Polymorphisms of apoB at XbaI locus and apoE were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In all patients, relative frequencies of X- allele and X+ allele were 0.943 and 0.057 for apoB gene respectively. For apoE gene the relative frequency of epsilon2 allele was determined as 0.182, epsilon3 as 0.580 and epsilon4 as 0.238. The reduction in TC level was more prominent in patients carrying X- allele than in those with X+ allele following treatment (-23. 9% vs. -13. 6%, P < 0. 05). Compared with patients carrying epsilon3 or epsilon4 allele, those with epsilon2 allele showed a significantly higher percentage in reduction of apoB level after treatment (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The relative frequency of apoB X+ allele is high in patients with hyperlipidemia, in whom the TC-lowering efficacy is decreased following treatment of simvastatin. The relative frequencies of epsilon2 and epsilon4 are also high in hyperlipidemic patients, and the epsilon2 allele is associated with reduction in apoB level during lipid-relating therapy.</p>
