ABSTRACT
At present, most of the common medical clothes in clinic are uniform medical clothes, but there is no special clothes for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). In recent years, with the extensive application of critical ultrasound in the field of critical medicine, it is obviously difficult to meet the clinical needs on traditional patients' clothes. Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital designed a patient's clothing for critical ultrasound examination. The left/right chest, lateral chest, groin and abdomen of the patient's clothing body were covered with cloth and marked areas. When critically ill patients need to be examined by ultrasound and electrocardiogram, the site can be quickly located only by removing the cloth. At the same time, it can protect patients' privacy, avoid aggravating the condition due to cold, increase patients' comfort in clothing, and also facilitate medical care. It is worthy popularizing in clinic because of its practicability and novel design.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum level of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in military pilots. Methods Sixty male military pilots hospitalized in Airforce General Hospital having coronary angiography examination(CAG) from March 2005 to May 2015 were involved then were divided into CHD group (n = 24) and control group (n = 36) according to the results of coronary angiography (CAG). The patients with CHD were divided into low score group (Gensini score ≤ 20) and high score group (Gensini score > 20) according to Gensini score. Results There were significant increase of the level of TG, GGT and decrease of the level of HDL-C in CHD group than those in control group(P 0.05); logistic regression analysis showed that serum GGT was an independent risk factor of CHD in military pilots (OR = 1.168, P < 0.01). Conclusion Serum GGT is associated with CHD in military pilots and is the independent risk factor of CHD in the pilots.
