Pressure ulcer scale for healing applied in evaluating debridement effect on pressure ulcers / 上海预防医学

[Objective] To explore the value of the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing ( PUSH) tool in evaluating the effect of debridement on pressure ulcers in elder patients . [ Methods] A group of 60 patients with (82 sites) II-IV grade pressure ulcers were recruited in the study .The ulcers were randomly assigned into autolytic debridement group ( n=42 ) and combined debridement group ( n=40 ) .Two groups of wounds were assessed and debrided by consensus procedure porcess respectively .The wounds were ob-served and evaluated by trained nurses at 7,14,21days after debredement , and the results used in PUSH scoring were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis with the SPSS 11.0 software. [Results] The value of pressure ulcer scale for healing ( PUSH) for autolytic、combined debridement group , at 7days( P>0.05) were not significantly different, at 14 days(P<0.05),and at 21days (P<0.01) were significantly different.With wounds in combined debridement group , PUSH scores decreased faster than those in the au-tolytic debridement group . [ Conclusion] The combined debridement method used in elder patients is safe and effective , which can shorten debridement time and improve wounds healing as well .The Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing is easy to use and its result is reliable , giving a quantitative objective evaluation of debridement effect on pressure ulcers .

High-performance Low-temperature Oil-degrading Bacteria Isolated in Domesticated / 微生物学通报

When it is cold winter in the northern China, the temperature of water is very low. Low tempera- ture is the main reason of the worse treatment of oil wastewater. In cold winter when the temperature is lowered to around 4?C, the effect of biological treatment of sewage is poor and hard to target the problem of reach a set standard of outing water. Use of microbiology to deal with oil pollution is one of the most effective, the most secure and the most thorough method. So the article from the microbiological point of view to study, isolated from nature world, screening to eight low-temperature grease which can grow under 5?C and degradation of sewage bacteria.
