Effect of loading density of different rigid containers on wet package of orthopedic instruments in the orthopedics department / 现代临床护理

Objective To explore the effect of loading density of different rigid containers on wet package of orthopedic instruments in the department of orthopedics and to provide the basis for right loading of rigid container so as to ensure the success of the sterilization. Methods About 120 cases of orthopedic exotic instruments for knee surgery were selected from our hospital, according to size and weight of the knee surgery instrument and then evenly divided into Groups A, B, C, 40 pieces in each group. Each group for loading had the same length and width. In Group A, the loading was at 1/2 of the container height, in Group B, the loading was at 2/3 of the container height and in Group C the loading was 4/5 of the container height. The 3 groups were given high pressure steam sterilization, the sterilization temperature, sterilization time and drying time were the same, while biological and chemical monitoring was done. After sterilization, the three groups were compared in terms of the biological and chemical monitoring results as well as the incidence of wet pack. Results There were no significant differences between the 3 groups in the qualification rate of indicator cards and the biological monitoring after sterilization in the 5 kinds of packages among the 3 groups of rigid containers (P>0.05). The incidence of wet package in Group A was significantly lower than that of Group C (χ2=6.80, P=0.009<0.017), but no difference was found between Groups B and C ,Group B and C Group . Conclusions The loading density of different rigid containers affects the incidence of wet package of the orthopedic instruments. Our findings indicate that the loading of the instruments in a rigid container reaches the 2/3~4/5 height of the container, for it can reduce the incidence of wet package of orthopedic instruments.

Effect of early rehabilitation combined with abdomen needle therapy for motor function and psychological obstacle of stroke / 中国针灸

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the clinical effect of early rehabilitation combined with abdomen needle therapy for the motor function and psychological obstacle of stroke based on the western medical treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Ninety patients with acute stroke were randomly divided into an observation group A,an observation group B and a control group, 30 cases in each group. Conventional western medical treatment and early rehabilitation for the affected limbs wete applied in the three groups for one month. Besides,abdomen needle therapy was used on Qihai(CV 6),Guanyuan(CV 4),Tianshu(ST 25),Daheng(SP 15),Huaroumen(ST 24),Wailing(ST 26),andin the observation group A. The needles were retained for 20 min without activity of the affected limbs. Based on the treatment as the group A,early rehabilitation was adopted in the observation group B. All treatment was given once a day,and 10 times were taken as a course. Three courses were required with two days at the interval. Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA),Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA),Hamilton depression scale(HAMD) and China stroke scale(CSS) were used before and after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Scores of FMA、HAMA、HAMD and CSS after treatment were improved than those before treatment in the three groups(all<0.05). All the above scores of the two observation groups were better than those of the control group(all<0.05). The scores of HAMA and HAMD of the observation group B were superior to those of the observation group A(both<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Conventional treatment combined with abdomen needle therapy can improve the motor function and the psychological obstacle of stroke,and the effect is better than that of the conventional treatment. Early rehabilitation based on the two therapeutic methods can help relieve psychological status.</p>

Objective Summarize the clinical nursing keys and experiences for tranplantation of leg island flap. Methods Follow- up 111 patients with transplantation of leg island flap. Results There were 109 patients had accepted survival of island flap, their function of wounded limb were recoveried satisfactory by one- year follow up. There were 2 amputation patients because of disturbance of blood circulation of distal wounded limb. Conclusions Careful perioperative nursing and observation are the keys of survival for tranplantation of leg island flap. Proper rehabilitaiton education can guarantee the satisfactory prognosis.
