ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate and summary the relevant evidence of emergency target blood pressure management in acute aortic dissection, so as to provide guidance for the evidence-based practice of emergency target blood pressure management.Methods:According to the "6S" evidence pyramid model, the evidence about emergency target blood pressure management of acute aortic dissection in various databases and professional association websites at home and abroad was retrieved, including clinical decision, guidelines, expert consensus, systematic evaluation, randomized controlled trial, cohort study, case series, etc. Two researchers used corresponding literature quality evaluation tools to evaluate the quality of the included literature, extracted and summarized the evidence of the literature above grade B.Results:A total of 22 articles were included in this study, including 6 clinical decisions, 5 guidelines, 7 expert consensus, 1 systematic evaluation, 1 randomized controlled trial, 1 cohort study and 1 case series, forming 37 best evidences, including 9 topics such as target value setting, management strategies, disease observation, medical history collection, monitoring methods, vasoactive drugs, non vasoactive drugs, auxiliary examination, health education.Conclusions:The summarized best evidence provides a reference for emergency medical staff to manage the emergency target blood pressure of acute aortic dissection. It is recommended that emergency medical staff follow the summarized best evidence to formulate an individualized target blood pressure management scheme for patients.
ABSTRACT
Magnetic endoscopic imaging (MEI)is a non-radiographic imaging technique that has been developed in recent years. MEI is capable of displaying real-time three dimensional images of the colonoscope shaft within the abdominal cavity. MEI system has been shown to be beneficial in increasing the cecal intubation rate,helping remove colonoscope insertion tube loops,reducing the duration of looping,assisting training of colonoscopy when compared with traditional colonoscopy. This article reviewed the progress in research on MEI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness, the influence on cellular immune function and the side-effect of bacillus of Calmette-Guerin polysaccharide nucleic acid(BCG-PSN)combined with antituberculous chemotherapy in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A total of 60 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were divided into treatment group(30 patients)and control group(30 patients)by random digits table. All patients accepted the same standard antituberculous chemotherapy, meanwhile patients in treatment group were injected with BCG-PSN. Observed and compared the clinical symptom,the size of the focas nidus,the change of toxic response and immunity. Results The symptoms were significantly relieved in both groups after treatment(P＜0.05), but it was significantly better in treatment group(P＜0.05), the effective rate and control rate in treatment group[36.7%(11/30),96.7%(29/30)]were significantly higher than those in control group[23.3%(7/30), 86.7%(26/30)](P ＜ 0.05). After treatment,the levels of CD3,CD4 and IL-2 were higher, and the level of CD8 was lower, but the treatment group improved significantly better than control group(P ＜ 0.05). The rate of leukopenia was lower in treatment group than that in control group[10.0%(3/30)vs. 33.3%(10/30),P ＜0.05]. As to the safety,no other toxicities were observed in the treatment group. Conclusions BCG-PSN combined with antituberculous chemotherapy in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis contributes to relieve the symptom, reduce size of the nidus, decrease leukopenia incidence and enhance the cell immunity. It is safe.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the rationality of the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the perioperative period of herniorrhaphy. Methods: Seventy-five cases of herniorrhaphy discharged in March, June and September of 2009 were collected. Parameters including indications, the types of antibacterial drugs, time of administration, solvent choice, usage and dosage, combination, etc, were assessed for the rationality according to the "the guiding principles of clinical use of antibacterial drugs"and other relevant documents. Results: The antibacterial drugs application rate was 100%, while the rationali-ty of the drug selection, the drug administration route, the single dose and the number of dosing, was 70.7%, 100% , 100% and 93.3% respectively. Sixty-two patients(82.7%)were treated with antibacterial drugs at 0.5～2 hours before surgery, and the average time course of the prophylactic use of antibiotics after surgery was 2.3 days. Conclusions: Some problems existed for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the perioperative period of herniorrhaphy. Surgeon should ensure the correct use of the antibacterial drugs to make the safety, efficiency, rationality, and economy for the patients.
