The application research of endoscopic equipment with power through detection of electrical prop-erties in sterilization and supply center / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To investigate the effects of the failure rate of laparoscopic apparatus with power through detecting the electrical properties before packaging it. Methods The laparoscopic apparatus with power used in the operation in January to June 2014 were randomly selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to whether they underwent electricity performance detection. The control group did not receive testing of electrical properties before packing. The observation group tested the electrical conductivity of the single or double pole conductor, unipolar electric coagulation hook, bipolar electric coagulation forceps, the handle of electric knife by digital multimeter and the performance of the uterus rotary cutting machine by electric hysterectomy controller before packing. The difference of equipment in the number of failures, the type of failure, the number of cases and the satisfaction of medical personnel were observed between the two groups. Results In the observation group, 12 cases with unipolar and bipolar coagulation failure, 10 cases with electrocision handle failure, 2 cases with uterine rotary- cutting failure, 18 cases with adverse conductive or non-conductive, 6 cases with short circuit, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (36,25, 11, 48, and 26 cases), the differences were statistically significant (χ2=5.627-12.063, P<0.05). The satisfaction degree in the observation group was 94.74% (36/38), which was better than 76.32%(29/38) of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.267, P<0.05). Conclusions Testing the electric performance of laparoscopic apparatus with power before packing could reduce the incidence of intraoperative equipment failure rate, This method can provide safe and high quality surgical instruments.

Association of human chorionic gonadotropin level in embryo culture media with early embryo development / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the association of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level on day 3 of embryo culture with embryo development.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Spent culture media were collected from individually cultured embryos on day 3 of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. HCG concentration in the culture media was measured using an ELISA kit and its association with embryo development was assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the 163 samples of embryo culture media from 60 patients, HCG was positive in 153 sample (93.8%) with a mean level of 0.85 ± 0.43 mIU/ml. The concentration of hCG in the culture media increased gradually as the number of blastomeres increased (F=2.273, P=0.03), and decreased as the morphological grade of the embryo was lowered (F=3.900, P=0.02).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ELISA is capable of detecting HCG levels in spent culture media of embryos on day 3 of in vitro culture. The concentration of HCG in spent culture media is positively correlated with the status of early embryo development and implantation rate and thus serves as a useful marker for embryo selection in IVF-ET procedure.</p>

Evaluation on ovarian function after hysterectomy by detection of serum anti-Mullerian hormone levels / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

Objective To evaluate the value of the new ovarian function marker serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH)and to clarify the effect of hysterectomy on the ovarian function of the younger women.Methods The serum AMH,follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)and luteinizing hormone (LH)levels in 35 women suffered uterus benign lesion aged 36-45 years and 35 women suffered hysteromyoma without operation were measured at different time.And the ovarian arterial blood flow resistance index (RI ) was measured by Doppler ultrasound. Results Compred with before operation, the serum AMH levels of the patients in hysterectomy group 2 d and 3 months after operation were significantly decreased (P0.05).Conclusion Hysterectomy can affect the ovarian function,and the serum AMH level 3 months after operation is decreased and the ovarian arterial blood flow RI is increased.AMH is superior to FSH or LH in evaluating the changes of ovarian function.

Effect of health education on uncertainty in illness and the hope level of patients with acute coronary syndrome / 中国实用护理杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of health education on uncertainty in illness and hope level of patients with acute coronary syndrome.Methods100 patients with acute coronary syndrome were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 50 patients in each.The control group received routine treatment,the observation group was given health education based on routine treatment.After treatment Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale(MUIS)and Herth hope index(HHI)scale were used for effect evaluation.ResultsThere were no significant differences on MUIS and HHI scores between two groups before nursing intervention.But after nursing intervention,MUIS score was lower and HHI score was higher in the observation group than those of the control group.ConclusionsHealth education on patients with acute coronary syndrome can reduce the uncertainty in illness and improve the level of their hopes.

Effect of humanistic care on blood pressure control of elderly patients with hypertension / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To observe the effect of humanistic care on blood pressure control of elderly patients with hypertension. Methods 138 elderly patients with hypertension patients in our hospital were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group with 69 cases in each group, the intervention group received anti-hypertensive medication as well as the system of nursing intervention,and the control group only was given simple drug treatment. The blood pressure control results were compared. Results SCL-90 factor of the intervention group was significantly higher than the Chinese module before intervention, and SCL-90 factors after intervention was significantly lower than before intervention. In the intervention group, the total effective rate of blood pressure control was 92.75%, significantly higher than the control group. Conclusions Humanistic nursing interventions to elderly patients with hypertension with various forms and more ways can effectively control the blood pressure, improve the therapeutic effects, improve nursing satisfaction degree and quality of care and is worthy of promotion and application.

To gamble or not to gamble: a domain-specific intention / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To explore whether an individual' s intention to gamble varied across different types of gambling. Methods A total of 373 Macau students completed a questionnaire survey on intention to gamble dealing with thirteen types of gambling,and exploratory factor analyses were conducted. Results The analyses showed two factors that had eigenvalues greater than one and explained a total of 59. 455 percent of the variance,with the largest factor explaining 32.59 percent. Participants' intentions to gamble were relatively lower in gambles of low counterparty with mean scores varying from ( 1.62 ± 1.13 ) to ( 2.20 ± 1.35 ), while the intentions were higher in gambles of high counterparty with mean scores varying from ( 2.34 ± 1. 39 ) to ( 3.02 ± 1.55 ). Conclusion Respondents' degree of intention to gamble was highly domain-specific, varying with the type of gambling.An individual' s intention to gamble is not consistent across all content domains, which implied that a potential gambler is not necessarily intended to gamble in all types of gambling.
