ABSTRACT
The strategy of vascularization using tissue engineering chamber model was introduced, and the application progress of this model in tissue regeneration was summarized. Using " tissue engineering" and " chamber" as the keywords, the PubMed database were searched for the literatures on the application of tissue engineering chamber model in recent years. The results show the tissue engineering chamber model could promote the vascularization of tissue engineering grafts and support the growth of many kinds of cells and tissues including stem cells, cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, chondrocytes, adipose tissue, thymus tissue and so on. Tissue engineering chamber model is helpful to the survival and growth of different cells and tissues in vivo. This model is expected to solve the problem of vascularization in tissue engineering and has a great application prospect.
ABSTRACT
Objective T o study the correlation of daily living activities with location and severity of trau-m atic brain injury (TBI) and to provide a theoretical basis for im proving the accuracy of expert opinion. Methods Five hundred and one cases of patients with TBI were selected. D etailed records included fol-lowing: pre-injury situation, location and severity of injury, treatm ent and education. D aily living activi-ties scale (B arthel index) was applied to test the subjects’daily living activities. T he relevance am ong location and severity of TBI and B arthel index was statistically analyzed. Results In m ild TBI group, there wasnosignificantdifferenceinBarthelindex among each location (P>0.05).Inmoderate TBIgroup, there were significant differences in B arthel index between subarachnoid hem orrhage and cerebral lobe injury, also between parietal, occipital lobes injury and frontal lobe injury, parietal, occipital lobes injury and temporallobe(P0.05).In severe TBI,there were significant differences in Barthel index between every two different locations (P<0.05). Conclusion T here is som e correlation between the location of TBI and B arthel index, which provides an im portant reference value for analyzing and deter-m ining daily living activities after TBI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of continuous quality improvement on venous transfusion exosmosis in elderly patients.Methods Through the investigation into venous transfusion exosmosis in 160 elderly patients,the causes for exosmosis were identified,followed by regulating and enforcing improvement measures and assessing the effect.Results The incidence of venous transfusion exosmosis in elderly patients was reduced from 6.40%to 2.57%and the satisfaction of patients improved from 90.00%to 97.50%.Conclusion The continuous quality improvement may effectively reduce the incidence of venous transfusion exosmosis and improve patients’satisfaction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the prevalence of latex glove(LG)-induced type Ⅳ hypersensitivity in clinical nurses. Methods 100 clinical nurses were selected,among whom 69 nurses were set as the latex glove hypersensitivity group,and the other 31 nurses did not show hypersensitivity to latex glove (the control group).The two groupe underwent a patch testing with a modified European standard series of allergens supplied by Chemotechnique Diagnostics.The positive allergens were compared between the two groups. Results The positive rate of patch testing in patients of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was superior to that in the control group (73.9％ vs 25.8％).Cobalt chloride and potassium dichromate were the most common allergens in both groups,while only formaldehyde and para-phenylenediamine were more susceptible in the latex glove hypersensitivity group compared with that in the control group.26.1％ of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was responsive to rubber additives,but in the control group the results were negative.Conclusions The hand dermatitis of female nurses with LG allergy is mainly caused by exposure to daily necessities.The prevalence of LG-induced type Ⅳ hypenensitivity is relatively high in clinical murses.
