Effect of auricular point sticking on menstrual distending pains of breasts / 现代临床护理

Objective To observe the curative effect of auricular point sticking on menstrual distending pains of breasts. Methods Sixty-two patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands were randomized evenly into experiment group and control group:the former were managed with auricular point sticking and the latter with oral administration of Xiaoyao Pills for three treatment courses, each menstrual cycle as a course.The two groups were compared in terms of menstrual distending pains of breasts.Results The experiment group was significantly better than the control group in terms relieves of pains as well as the curative effect after the trial (P<0.01 for both).Conclusions Auricular point sticking is effective in relieving the menstrual distending pains of breasts.It is simple for manipulation and thus worth clinical spreading.

Study on systemic inflammatory response syndrome score and APACHE Ⅱ score predicting outcome in severe patients of emergency department / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To study effect and significance of systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) score and APACHE Ⅱ score in prognosis in severe patients of emergency department.Methods Data of 114 patients were collected at admission.SIRS score and APACHEⅡ score were calculated in 24 hours.To analyze mortality of patients in different score,to estimate dependability of them.Result With SIRS score increasing,mortality rate increased as well and patients with SIRS score ≥2 or APACHE Ⅱ score ≥25 had significantly higher mortality rate.Conclusions SIRS score is a simple,useful predictor of outcome in patients of emergency department.It can be used in clinical generally.

Preparation and study on the inclusion complexes of two tanshinone compounds with beta-cyclodextrin.

Solid inclusion complexes of two tanshinones (Tans): tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), tanshinone I (Tan I) with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) were synthesized by coprecipitation method. The solid inclusion complexes were characterized by using several analytical techniques: (1)H NMR spectra, IR spectra and thermal analysis. Stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes of Tans with beta-CD or HP-beta-CD is 1:1 which was investigated in solution. The formation constants of the complexes were determined by UV spectrophotometry. For same kind of CD, the stability was in the order: Tan IIA > Tan I; for same guest, the stability was in the order: HP-beta-CD > beta-CD. The effect of temperature on the inclusion interaction was examined and the thermodynamic parameters of inclusion process, Delta G, Delta H, Delta S were determined as well. The experimental results indicate that the inclusion process was an exothermic and enthalpy-driven process accompanied with a negative entropic contribution. The inclusion interaction between CD and Tans satisfied the law of enthalpy-entropy compensation.

Prognosis of Geriatric Lower Respiratory Infection and Its Correlative Factors / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlative factors that would affect the prognosis of geriatric lower respiratory infection.METHODS A total of 101 geriatric patients diagnosed as lower respiratory infection were enrolled in emergency ICU.The laboratory tests such as blood chemical tests,C-reactive protein,and troponin T(cTnT)were obtained twice 2 hours and 24 hours after admission,respectively.Other parameters including general condition,clinical outcomes as well as APACHE Ⅱ and SIRS scores within 24 hours were recorded.RESULTS The ages,cTnT and SIRS score were negatively correlated to clinical outcome.CONCLUSIONS The ages,SIRS scores and cTNT levels are independent prognostic factors in geriatric lower respiratory infection.
