ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the clinical effect of single acupoint [Yaotu (extra)] electroacupuncture (EA) therapy on lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) and its promotion and application in community medical institutions.@*METHODS@#This research adopted a three-level promotion model, and used multi-center collaboration topics as a platform. A total of 240 patients with LIDH were divided into a group A (top three hospital, 80 cases, 3 cases dropped off), a group B (secondary hospital, 80 cases, 8 cases dropped off), and a group C (community health center, 80 cases, 7 cases dropped off). All groups were treated with EA at a single acupoint [Yaotu (extra)] under the guidance of a unified experimental protocol. The EA was given 60 min each time and performed 3 times a week for a total of 2 weeks. The changes of visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of three groups before and after each treatment were compared, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.@*RESULTS@#Compared with before each treatment, the VAS scores of three groups after each treatment decreased (@*CONCLUSION@#The single acupoint EA therapy has a significant effect in the treatment of LIDH, can quickly relieve the pain symptoms, and has the characteristics of simple operation and easy control, suitable for promotion and application in primary hospitals.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the implementation of service concept of "wholly human con-cern" on perioperative nursing. Methods Satisfaction degree investigation was carried out in 150 postoperative patients from January to May, 2008, the existing problems were found out. The service concept of "wholly human concern" was applied in postoperative nursing from June to November, 2008, and satisfaction degree investigation was carried out in 160 postoperative patients, the relevant data was analyzed. Results The satisfaction degree before the implementation was (90.0±1.6), and (97.8±1.2) after the implementation. 20 items in the satisfaction degree questionnaire underwent analysis and 7 of them evidently increased, zero complaint was accomplished. Conclusions Application of service concept of "wholly human concern" in perioperative patients can facilitate them to survive operation period, im-prove the relationship between nurses and patients and increase the satisfaction degree of patients.
