ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To understand the influential factors for depression in patients with facial acne vulgaris and to provide scientific evidence for a comprehensive and systematic treatment for acne vulgaris. @*METHODS@#A total of 287 outpatients with facial acne vulgaris, who visited the dermatology of the Third Xiangya Hospital, were surveyed by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The data was collected by Epidata software (version 3.1) and processed by SPSS software package (version 18.0). The influential factors for the depression of outpatients with facial acne vulgaris were analyzed by multinomial logistic regression. @*RESULTS@#A total of 181 patients with facial acne vulgaris showed various degrees of depression (BDI score≥5) and the rate was 63.1%. The symptoms for depression included sad and pessimistic attitude as well as the decreased attention to others (social withdrawal). The influential factors for mild, moderate or severe depression were gender, the degree and the course of acne. Female patients were more likely to suffer mild, moderate or severe depression (OR=3.62, 2.63, respectively); the risk of depression in acne patients was increased with the increase in degree of the severity (OR=2.31, 4.51, respectively); the patients with the acne course more than a year were more likely to show mild depression than those with a course less than a year (OR=4.30, 7.44, respectively). The patients with acne course more than 3 years were more likely to show moderate or severe depression compared to those with a course less than a year (OR=3.60). @*CONCLUSION@#Most of facial acne patients show a different degree of depression. The acne course is longer in female patients. The more severe the acne vulgaris is, the more suffering of the depression is. Psychological care should be considered to improve the treatment and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of the integration pattern of hospital-community on the grade-based management for hypertension in elders. @*METHODS@#We randomly chosen 218 (male, n=121; female, n=97) primary senile hypertension patients from a Community Health Service Center of District in Changsha City, from June, 2013 to December, 2013. Based on the risky factors, the subjects were divided into three groups and every group received grade-based management on blood pressure with a integration pattern of hospital-community for six months. According to the HILL-BONE high blood pressure compliance scale and the self- designed blood pressure monitoring form, we assessed the effect of compliance and blood pressure control on senile hypertension patient. @*RESULTS@#Hypertension treatment rate for the elders ranged from 22.9% to 88.1% (P<0.01). The levels of blood pressure of the subjects were significantly decreased compared with baseline. The level of diastolic blood pressure in the low, average, high and very high-risk group was decreased by 17, 20 and 23 mmHg, respectively (P<0.01). The level of systolic blood in the low, average, high and very high-risk group was decreased by 6, 5 and 7 mmHg, respectively (P<0.01). The compliance rate of HILL-BONE hypertension rose from 54.5% to 87.4% (P<0.01). @*CONCLUSION@#The integration pattern of hospital-community with the grade-based management for hypertension significantly improved the senile hypertension control rate and compliance of drug treatment. The rational for drug usage rate rose obviously. The integration pattern of hospital-community with the grade-based management for elders deserves to spread.

OBJECTIVE In order to find the way to reduce nosocomial pneumonia through preventing delivery of microbio-aerosol.we investigate whether oxygen humidification process generate and deliver aerosol to the end of oxygen tube,and the difference between two types of humidifier.METHODS Two types of humidifier were used.One was unique bionic humidifier through surface of humidification material,the other was conventional bubble humidifier.The amount of aerosol was counted by laser particle counter at the end of oxygen cannula.Different solute of ferric chloride and soluble starch in two humidification materials were used to testify the generation and transmission of aerosol during oxygen therapy.RESULTS Bubble humidifier produced large amount of aerosol of 0.3,0.5,1.0,3.0,5.0 ?m at 31089.9、28488.6、2873.9、197、1.1particle/cubic meter respectively.Most of the aerosol were between 0.3 and 3 microns in diameter.While bionic humidifier produced small amount of aerosol of 0.3,0.5,1 ?m at 95.3,39.8,2.0 particle/cubic meter respectively,there were no aerosol particle larger than 3?m.The difference of 0.3,0.5,1.0,3.0,5.0?m aerosol between bubble and bionic humidifier was significant(P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To know the gene type of Staphylococcus aureus which caused the respiratory tract infection of patients after transplantation in our hospital,and to explore the epidemiology,preventing measure and nursing strategy of the lung infection by S.aureus among them.METHODS Using random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) to analyze the gene type fingerprint of the 20 S.aureus strains originated from the respiratory tract of patients after transplantation,and using cefoxitin paper strip method to detect the mecA gene of the S.aureus.RESULTS Twenty S.aureus strains were divided into 8 gene types,and among them,the detectable rate of gene types Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ was 40.0%,15.0%,and 15.0%,respectively.The positive rate of mecA gene reached to 80.0%.CONCLUSIONS The S.aureus originated from respiratory tracts of the patients after transplantation is mainly of gene type Ⅰ.And the positive rate of mecA gene is very high.So the management of hands washing,sterilization and isolation of medical and nursing staffs should be strengthened,and effective method should be took to prevent the propagation of mecA positive S.aureus among the patients after transplantation.
