ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the reliability and validity of Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire used in discharged patients with spinal cord injury. Methods 262 cases of discharged patients after spinal cord injury were assessed by using Chinese version impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire, and detect the reliability and validity of Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire. Results Cronbachαcoefficient for the remaining 25 items of Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire was 0.942, for the 4 dimensions of Cronbachαcoefficient ranged between 0.678～0.911;Split-half reliability was 0.864 for the remaining 25 items of Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire and 0.688～0.754 for the 4 dimensions. Analysis of content validity of the Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire indicated that CVI was 0.956, exploratory factor analysis of Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire yielded 4 factors, which explained 70.09％of the total variance. Conclusions The Chinese version of impact on participation and autonomy questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to assess participation and autonomy level of discharged patients with spinal cord injury in Chinese culture background.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the statistical methods used in nursing papers for bachelor's degree. Method We collected 160 nursing theses for bachelor's degree in 2016 in our college and analyze the statistical methods. Results A total of 80 papers used statistical methods consisting of statistical table, statistical inference, single factor analysis, variance analysis and statistical description. Among them, the statistical methods in 66 papers (82.5%) were misused. About 139 misuses of statistical tables was found in papers, and about 23 misuses of statistical inference in papers, taking up 45.4%. Conclusions The nursing undergraduates are familiar with the application of statistical methods, but the methods tend to be simple and unitary. Therefore, it is a need to enhance their practice in using statistical methods.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) of the upper extremity in healthy subjects. Methods From October, 2015 to April, 2016, ten healthy young volunteers were selected. Each of the subjects was randomly treated with electroacupuncture and TEAS. Before and after treatment, the latency and amplitude of N20 and N9 of SEP were detected. Results After electroacupuncture, the latency of N20 prolonged in the stimulated side (Z=-2.620, P<0.01); the latency of N9 prolonged (Z=-2.454, P<0.05), and the amplitude of N9 decreased (Z=-2.330, P<0.05) in the non-stimulated side. After TEAS, the latencies of N9 both in the stimulated side and the non-stimulated side prolonged (Z>2.695, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the D-value of latency and amplitude of N20 and N9 in both two sides between two treatments (Z<1.817, P>0.05). Conclusion Both electroacupuncture and TEAS could affect the latency and amplitude of N20 and N9, and no difference was found between two treatments.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of the two-dimension computer-aided surgery navigation system to the concordance of lumbar spine pedicle screw fixation on both sides.Methods 1355 patients were undergone lumbar spinal pedicle screw fixation during January 2004 to December 2009.All patients were divided into tow groups:the navigation group (743cases) and the fluoroscopy assistant group (612 cases).All patients got standard A-P and lateral X-ray plate of lumbar spine within seven days after surgery.The X-ray images were analyzed by the software of Image-pro plus 5.0 to evaluate the concordance of lumbar spine pedicle screw fixation on both sides.The angle between axial line of pedicle screw and superior lamina terminals (α angle) and the angle between axial lines of pedicle screw on both sides (γangle) were measured.The position of the pedicle screw was checked weather it was in the lumbar pedicle partially.Results There were no significant differences (P＞0.05) between the α angle on both sides of L1-S5 vertebral body in navigation assistant group (L:3.89°±0.47°,R:3.94°±0.37°).The differences of the α angle on both sides of L2 (L:4.55°±1.27°,R:5.12°±1.87°) and L4 (L:4.22°±1.89°,R:6.62°±1.97°) vertebral body in the fluoroscopy assistant group had statistical significance (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the α angle on both sides of other bodies (L:4.32°±1.47°,R:4.37°±1.59°,P＞0.05).The γangle in navigation assistant group (2.32°± 0.27°) was obviously smaller than fluoroscopy assistant group (3.32°±1.51°),the differences had statistical significance (P＜0.05).Accuracy of pedicle screw in navigation assistant group was 91.5％ (3604/3938).Accuracy of pedicle screw in fluoroscopy assistant group was 87.6％ (2426/2768).The difference in accuracy of pedicle screw in both groups had statistical significance (x2=26.913,P＜0.0001).Conclusion The accuracy of pedicle screw and the concordance of pedicle screw on both sides can be significantly improved using the two-dimension perspective computer-aided surgery navigation system.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of C arm X- ray perspective computer auxiliary surgery navigation system on lumbar vertebral pedicle screw fixation in the elderly.Methods 286 patients(aged≥65 years) treated by lumbar spine post decompress and pedicle screw fixation for lumbar vertebral degeneration were divided into navigation (n=153) or non-navigation (n=133) groups.The amount of blood loss,surgery duration and time of beginning to walk after surgery were measured and compared, the improvement grading was determined by Oswestry disability index (ODI) before surgery and at the last follow-up. Results The surgery duration [(27.6+6.3)ain vs.(33.8±9.9)min],the volume of blood loss[(135.7±21.1)ml vs.(165.4±32.1)ml] and the time of beginning to walk after surgery[(134.6± 12.3)h vs.(169.0±23.9)h] were obviously reduced in navigation group as compared with non-navigation group (P ＜ 0.05). The grading improvement rate by ODI[(76.6±±3.7)％vs.(69.8+6.6)％] was higher in navigation group than in non navigation group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Using C arm X-ray perspective computer auxiliary surgery navigation system to lumbar pedicle screws fixation is helpful in the elderly for improving clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the T lymphocyte functions in elderly patients following major orthopedic operation. Methods From May 1998 to Feb 1999, 39 elderly patients (65 95 years old) hospitalized for orthopedic operation were studied. The patients' peripheral blood samples in the experimental group were obtained on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 postoperation, respectively. At the same days, blood samples were taken from 15 elder patients without trauma and operation (65 80 years old) within 6 months as controls. T lymphocyte subpopulations were differentiated by means of quantitative assay with autocounting method of FCM. Results CD3 T cell count was significantly decreased on day 1(54 4?11 3)% and day 14(58 5?12 6)%, compared with controls (63 9?8 3)% ( P
