ABSTRACT
Aortic dissection is an acute injury of the aortic intima due to various factors from the outside or itself. The rapid blood flow enters the middle layer of the aortic elastic force from the breach and expands longitudinally along the aorta to form a true and a false two lumens. Aortic dissection is a rare, high-risk cardiovascular disease with a low incidence, but it is extremely harmful. Lesions can affect the systemic system, without treatment, the natural prognosis is poor. Surgery is the most effective treatment, especially for Stanford A and high-risk Stanford B dissection. With the increase of the incidence of aortic dissection, the diagnosis and treatment and nursing technology have developed rapidly in recent years, but the mortality rate is still high due to the complex, rapid changes and complications. This article reviews the current status of preoperative aortic dissection in order to improve the understanding of clinical nurses and provide a reference for the perioperative nursing intervention study of aortic dissection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of optimizing nursing process in emergency PCI on the reduction of radiation received by interventional nurses.Methods A total of 100 cases of acute myocardial infarction patients who need emergency PCI in First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China were selected for the study,with the first 50 cases as the control group using conventional nursing process and the other 50 cases as the optimization group using the optimal nursing process in the test.Two radiation monitoring methods were used at the same time to measure,record and analyze the radiation dose to the intervention nurses in the two groups.Results The differences in radiation doses to nurses between the two groups were statistically significant in the single operation of intracoronary drug configuration,non-intracoronary drug configuration,intravenous injection,patient care,emergency material unpacking,and contrast agent replacement (Z =-5.171,-3.774,-7.208,-2.454,-4.516,-3.819,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in radiation dose to nurses between the two groups in the subcutaneous injection of drugs and vomiting care of patients (P ＞ 0.05).The difference in radiation doses to nurses between the two groups during the entire operation was statistically significant (Z =-6.105,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The optimized nursing process helps to reduce the radiation received by interventional nurses in emergency PCI.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Functional hydrogel Is a new biomaterial, which considered as wound dressing should be generally evaluated according to biological standard to prove the great biocompatibility prior to clinical application.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biocompatibility of a new kind of wound dressing, polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin esterified (PGE) hydrogel.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A materials study was performed at Central Laboratory, College of Public Health, University of South China from April 2008 to June 2009.MATERIALS: Fibroblast strain of NCTC L-929 mice was provided by Medical College of Sun Yat-sen University; experimental animals were provided by Animal Faulty of Southern China University; polyvinyl alcohol and gelatin were provided by Chemical Agent Engineering Developing Center, Guangdong.METHODS: A 10-g polyvinyl alcohol was generally dissolved in 100 mL water and the mixture was added with 5 g gelatin at 70 °C. Additionally, hydrochloric acid was added and fully stirred for esterification reaction. The dispersion solution was inserted into the tooting and transformed into membrane-like products which were sectioned into 1-mm round and thin sections. Toxicity test, hemolytic test, and whole-body acute-term toxicity test, and sensitization test of PGE were performed according to national GB/T16886 standard.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Biocompatibility of PGE hydrogel.RESULTS: Toxicity reaction of PGE hydrogel was grade 0-1, and hemolytic ratio was 5%. Following an injection of PGE hydrogel, mice did not have death, convulsion, paralysis, respiratory depression, diarrhea, and decreased body mass. Seventy-two hours later, erythema and edema were not observed on both sides of spine of mice.CONCLUSION: The PGE hydrogel has a good biocompatibility and can be used for wound dressing on clinic.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the effects of puerarin on blood lipid and expression of aorta laminin B_1 mRNA in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. METHODS: Diabetic nephropathy rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ, and the experimental rats were divided into normal control group, model group, and puerarin group. During and after the treatment for 12 weeks, the general state, blood suger(BS), triglyceride(TC), cholesterol, low density lipoprotein(LDL-C), high density lipoprotein(HDL-C), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) and glycosylated low density lipoprotein(G-LDL) were detected. Aorta alteration of tissue morphology was observed by H.E staining, and the expressions of laminin B1 mRNA were determined by in situ hybridization analysis. RESULTS: Diabetes mellitus and aorta lesion occurred in the two model groups. Puerarin could improve the general state, decrease the level of triglyceride(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of aminoguanidine and Vitamin C on lipid of streptozotocin-induced didbetic rats.Methods Diabetic nephropathy rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.Fifty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,Vitamin C group,aminoguanidine group and Vitamin C associated with aminoguanidine group.All the rats were treated for 16 weeks.During and after the treatment,the general state of the rats was observed and the levels of blood sugar,triglyceride,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein,high density lipoprotein,glycosylated hemoglobin,and glycated low density lipoprotein in different groups were detected.Results The rats in the four groups suffered diabetes mellitus and renal function lesion.Aminoguanidine and Vitamin C could improve the general state of the rats,but had no effect on the blood sugar.Vitamin C could decrease the levels of triglyceride,serum cholesterol,low density lipoprotein,glycosylated hemoglobin,and glycated low density lipoprotein,and increase the level of high density lipoprotein.There was a synergistic effect with the combination of the two drugs. Conclusion Aminoguanidine and Vitamin C have no effect in the decrease of blood sugar level but have a certain effect on regulating blood lipid.There is a synergistic effect with the combination of the two drugs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the mechanism of the Compound Qinbai Granule (Granules composed of Scutellaria root and Phellodendron bark) in the treatment of radioactive dermatitis in rats.Methods The rat models of radioactive dermatitis were established and randomized into three groups:Compound Qinbai Granule group (experimental group),dexamethasone ointment group (traditional group),and normal saline group (control group).The wound was treated with Compound Qinbai Granule spray,dexamethasone ointment external application,and normal saline spray respectively.By immunohistochemical staining and image analysis,the growth of granulation tissue in the wound area wound healing rate,and the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the wound tissues were determined on the second,sixth,tenth,eighteenth,and twenty-fourth day after injury.Results The average number of granulation tissue and wound healing rate in the experimental group on the sixth,tenth,eighteenth,and twenty-fourth day were all higher than those in the traditional group and control group with a significant difference (P
