The design and application of the machine for making animal model for pressure ulcer / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To develop a kind of new machine for making animal model for pressure ulcer,and inspect its effect through experiments,in order to lay the foundation for the research of pressure ulcer experiments on animals.Methods This study developed the machine after reviewing the domestic and foreign literature,making full use of the existing experimental platform of our university.Then 55 Sprague Dawley(SD) rats were selected,after anesthesia and the skin preparation,the researchers imposed certain pressure with 70 mmHg/cm2 (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) on the skin and muscle tissue on the inner left thigh of SD rats by using self-designed machine,pressing for 2 h,then reperfusion for 30 min,3 times a day,a total of 7 days.Results The authors developed a kind of new machine for making animal model for pressure ulcer,and successfully prepared Ⅲ phase pressure ulcers model in SD rats with success rate of 98.2％(54/55).Conclusion This machine can prepare Ⅲ phase pressure ulcers model on animals,it's easy to use and efficient,it can be used for researches in the field of prevention and cure of pressure ulcers.

Meta analysis on effect of heat moisture exchangers on airway humidification in mechanically ventilated patients / 重庆医学

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of heat moisture exchangers (HMEs) on the artificial airway humid-ification in the mechanically ventilated patients .Methods The related literature in the Cochrane Library ,PubMed ,Embase ,CNKI , VIP ,WanFang database and CBM from the establishment to March 2012 were retrieved ,then included the randomized controlled trial(RCT) and quasi-RCT on the effect of HMEs for the artificial airway humidification in the mechanically ventilated patients were performed the meta analysis by using RevMan 5 .1 .2 software .Results 19 RCT were included(involving 2 960 patients) , which were the random parallel controlled trials .The meta analysis results showed that HMEs could not reduce the incidence rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)(RR=0 .78 ,95% CI 0 .61-1 .01 ,P=0 .06) ,also could not decrease the hospitalization mor-tality(RR=0 .94 ,95% CI 0 .83-1 .08 ,P=0 .40) ,the length of ICU stay(MD= -0 .32 ,95% CI -3 .13 -2 .50 ,P=0 .82) and the occurrence rate of catheter occlusion (RR=0 .65 ,95% CI 0 .22 -1 .93 ,P= 0 .44) ,the differences between the two groups had no statistical significance .But 5 RCT reported that using HMEs could reduce the patient′s costs .Conclusion HMEs can not reduce the incidence rate of VAP ,mortality ,length of ICU stay ,occurrence rate of airway occlusion ,but can cut down the patient′s cost . Due to the risk of bias existing in all included RCT and the low quality of the obtained evidences ,more strictly designed and imple-mented RCTs are needed to further verify thse evidences .

Psychological status and occupational stress among the traffic policemen with metabolic syndrome / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

In this cross-sectional survey,2 682 traffic policemen in Tianjin were enrolled,and they were tested with Occupational Stress Inventory-Revised (OSI-R) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90).Body mass index,blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,triglycerides,and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C ) were also determined at the same time. Correlation analysis showed that body mass index was positively correlated with somatization ( r =0.039,P =0.045 ),hostility ( r =0.046,P =0.01 8 ),and psychoticism ( r =0.041,P =0.036).Systolic blood pressure was positively correlated to somatization (r =0.056,P =0.004 ),obsessive-compulsiveness ( r =0.044,P =0.023 ),interpersonal sensitivity ( r =0.041,P =0.034 ),depression ( r =0.039,P =0.043),anxiety ( r =0.055,P =0.004 ),and psychoticism ( r =0.051,P =0.009 ).Diastolic blood pressure was positively correlated to somatization ( r =0.047,P =0.015 ),interpersonal sensitivity ( r =0.042,P =0.030 ),anxiety ( r =0.050,P =0.010 ),and psychoticism ( r =0.047,P =0.014 ).Fasting blood glucose was positively correlated to somatization ( r=0.042,P=0.028 ).Multiple regression analysis showed that occupational stress factors were role boundary,physical environment,responsibility,recreation,role ambiguity,role overload,and cognitive coping.Among these factors,role ambiguity and cognitive coping reduced occupational stress while others increased the stress.The results of the unconditional logistical regression analysis showed that there is an independent association of metabolic syndrome with somatization,role insufficiency,and physical strain for the task and body tension ( P＜0.01).

Effect of traditional Chinese medicine which eliminating necrotic tissues and promoting granulation on pressure ulcer of Ⅲ to Ⅳ stage: a Meta analysis / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine which eliminating necrotic tissues and promoting granulation on pressure ulcer of Ⅲ to Ⅳstage using Meta analysis.Methods RCTstudies of therapy of eliminating necrotic tissues and promoting granulation traditional Chinese medicine for stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ pressure ulcer were searched,in which the control groups used routine methods,while the experimental groups adopted necrotic tissues and promoting granulation traditional Chinese medicine.Two reviewers assessed the documents'quality separately and completed data extraction.The statistical analysis was performed using the Cochrance collaborations' Rev Man 5.1 software.Results The cure rates for pressure ulcers of the experimental groups were higher than the control groups.The time of recovery of the experimental groups were shorter than the controls.The dressing change frequency of the experimental groups was less than the controls.Conclusions Traditional Chinese medicines which eliminating necrotic tissues and promoting granulation can significantly improve the cure rate,shorten the therapeutic time and reduce the frequency of dressing change.
