A comparison of the stressors experienced by parents of intubated and non-intubated children

When children are ill enough to require admission to paediatric intensive care, parents may become distressed about their child's medical condition and this distress may be compounded by the unfamiliar nature of the highly technological environment Parents of children who are sick enough to warrant intubation are particularly likely to be exposed to a frightening array of technological equipment Seventy-one parents of intubated and non-intubated children completed the Parental Stressor Scale Paediatnc Intensive Care Unit (PSS PICU) Overall the findings suggest that parents were most distressed (a) by the painful procedures to which their children were subjected, (b) by the sights and sounds of the intensive care unit and (c) by their children's reactions to intensive care The behaviour of staff towards parents and the way that staff communicated with them caused the least distress When the levels of stress reported by parents of intubated children were compared with those reported by parents of non-intubated children, different patterns of stress were found Painful procedures were a source of greater stress to parents of intubated children whereas the behaviour of staff and the children's reactions to the intensive care experience caused greater stress to the parents of the non-intubated children In general the findings suggest that the needs of parents of non-intubated children are being overlooked, with staff focusing more of their attention on the parents of intubated children     

表皮生长因子对全胃肠外营养大部小肠切除大鼠肠适应的实验研究

目的：观察应用表皮生长因子(EGF)对全胃肠外营养(TPN)大部小肠切除大鼠残存小肠黏膜的代偿作用。方法：30只大鼠切除80％小肠后分为对照组、常规TPN组、TPN EGF组，观测体重、小肠黏膜形态学改变，流式细胞仪分析肠黏膜细胞增殖活性。结果：术后3组大鼠体重逐渐降低，1周后渐增加。3组间差异无显著性。TPN组小肠肠壁各层均变薄，黏膜萎缩。TPN EGF组肠黏膜厚度、绒毛高度、隐窝深度较TPN组均增加，S期细胞比率系数、增殖指数TPN EGF组较TPN组高，而TPN捐与对照绸差异无昂著件。结论：TPN联合EGF可晟著地增讲肠黏膜的适应性代偿。     

Promoting autonomy and independence for older people within nursing practice: a literature review

The principles of promoting autonomy and independence underpin many approaches to improving the quality of nursing care for older people in whatever setting, and are in line with wider developments in health care such as the Patient's Charter. However, these concepts require careful definition if nursing practices which might promote autonomy and independence are to be identified. Although the generalizability of the research-based literature in this field is limited by a focus upon older people in continuing-care settings, a review of the literature found a number of indicators associated with attempts to promote patient autonomy and independence. These were grouped into the following categories: systems of care delivery which promote comprehensive individualized assessment and multidisciplinary care planning; attempts to encourage patients/clients to participate in decisions about their care; patterns of communication which avoid exerting power and control over patients/clients and attempts to modify the environment to promote independence and minimize risk. It is suggested that the review identifies a number of principles for nursing practice which can be applied in a range of care settings in order to promote the autonomy and independence of older people.     

早泄病人慢性前列腺炎的发生率调查

目的 :调查早泄男性中慢性前列腺炎的发生率。　方法 :对 10 6例早泄病人和 38例正常人前列腺按摩前后尿液标本及前列腺按摩液 (EPS)进行显微镜和 /或细菌学检查 ,并评估 12 0例慢性前列腺炎病人中早泄的发生率。　结果 :在早泄病人中发现 49例 (46 .2 %)有慢性前列腺炎 ,其中 34 .7%存在慢性细菌性前列腺炎 ,与对照组相比均有统计学差异 (P <0 .0 5 )。 12 0例慢性前列腺炎病人中 5 7例 (47.5 %)存在不同程度的早泄。　结论 :本研究结果提示慢性前列腺炎症在某些早泄病人的发病机制中可能具有一定作用 ,在针对早泄治疗前进行前列腺仔细检查具有重要意义。     

缺血性脑血管病患者的血脂水平

目的分析缺血性脑血管病（ICVD）患者的血脂水平，为今后预防保健及康复干预决策的制定提供依据。方法在佛山市第一人民医院病案数据库中检索1991-2004年诊断为ICVD的病例共2886例，其中2000-2004年ICVD患者共1430例为一亚组，以我院同时期保健科随机选取的400名健康体检人群为对照组，记录血脂情况，进行对照分析。结果血TC、TG和LDL—C水平ICVD患者组明显高于健康体检人群，差异有统计学意义。男女两性血脂水平均随年龄增加而逐渐增高，50岁以上女性血脂水平明显高于同龄组男性。血脂代谢异常患病率随着年代的推移呈逐步上升趋势，总胆固醇从1991—1994年的24．5％到2001-2004年的38．1％（男性）和22．3％到38．5％（女性），且明显高于国内2000-2001年普查人群高脂血症的患病率。结论佛山地区血脂异常是ICVD的重要原因之一。     

撬拨复位植骨椎弓根螺钉固定治疗胸腰椎爆裂性骨折

[目的]椎体撬拨植骨成形加椎弓根螺钉固定治疗早期胸腰椎爆裂性骨折,预防术后形成“空心椎”引起的钉松动、断钉及伤椎再塌陷、后凸畸形等并发症。[方法及结果]收治胸腰椎爆裂性骨折患者28例,行椎弓根螺钉内固定后,用神经根探子撬拨压缩下陷的伤椎上终板和前中柱,使之复位,经伤椎通过椎弓根植骨成形。术后随访6~18个月,全部获得骨性愈合(100%)。脊柱后凸Cobb's角度术前平均23.6°(n=23)矫正至术后平均4.4°(n=23),随访角度5.3°;椎体前缘高度压缩比由术前平均45%恢复至术后97%,随访时95%;伤椎椎管内矢状径术前平均7.6 mm,术后17.5 mm,随访矢状径17.1 mm,无明显狭窄。无内固定松动、断裂或弯曲。[结论]椎体撬拨植骨成形加椎弓根螺钉固定治疗胸腰椎压缩性骨折,手术安全性高,经植骨均获得骨性愈合,恢复了伤椎的强度和刚度,减少了内固定的应力,防止后凸畸形,降低并发症出现。     

Development and evaluation of an allocation committee to distribute community placements on an equitable basis between universities: Our experience with the University Placement Allocation Committee

The present paper outlines the development and evaluation of an allocation committee to distribute community placements on an equitable basis between universities. Although based on our experience in South Australia with the University Placement Allocation Committee (UPAC), the primary goal is to outline the steps that would be useful if placement coordinators at other universities in Australia decided to establish and maintain an allocation committee. A survey of field supervisors was also conducted and field supervisors endorsed UPAC as a constructive mechanism for allocating community placements.
