ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of evidence-based nursing intervention on the treatment effect and quality of life in patients with peritoneal dialysis. MethodSixty-four patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis between January 2013 and December 2014 in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n=32) and intervention group (n=32) . The control group received routine nursing and the intervention group received evidencebased nursing intervention. Urea clearance index (KT/V), serum albumin and hemoglobin levels were detected for both groups of patients before and after nursing intervention. Generic Quality of Life Inventory (GQOLI)-74 scale was used to assess patients' quality of life. ResultsAfter nursing intervention, KT/V, serum albumin and hemoglobin levels in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) . The scores of such items as physical function, psychological function, social function and overall evaluation in the GQOLI-74 scale in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) . ConclusionsEvidence-based nursing intervention can effectively improve the treatment effect and quality of life in patients with peritoneal dialysis, which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
Objective To compare right anterolateral minithoracotomy and traditional median sternotomy in the treatment of left atrial myxoma. Methods Forty-one patients with left atrial myxoma treated in our hospital from January 2009 to January 2018 were divided into two groups according to the operation method: a right anterolateral minithoracotomy group including 15 patients, with 7 males and 8 females, aged 45.1±15.4 years; a median sternotomy group including 26 patients, with 10 males and 16 females, aged 49.4±11.9 years. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups. All patients completed the operation without perioperative death. There was no significant difference in the operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic clamp time or the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. However, compared with the median sternotomy group, the right anterolateral minithoracotomy group had shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay, and less volume of drainage and blood transfusion 24 hours after surgery (all P<0.05). After 3–106 months follow-up, no recurrence was observed in both groups. Conclusion Compared with traditional median sternotomy for left atrial myxoma resection, right anterolateral minithoracotomy is safe, effective and less traumatic. It can be used as a routine treatment for left atrial myxoma.
Objective To evaluate the performance on the project of health system recovery using World Bank loan for ‘5.12’ Wenchuan earthquake after three years of these projects have been finished. Methods From March to December 2016, we formulated evaluation frameworks and indicators, used statistical reports and surveys to collect data of the 60 post-earthquake recovery projects using World Bank loan in Chengdu, Deyang and some other cities. Data of pre-earthquake (2007) and post-earthquake (2015) were compared. The evaluation indicators included institutional size, institutional environment, institutional services and social benefits. A descriptive analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 software. Results Compared with the year of 2007, in 2015, the building and utilized for business purpose areas of loan benefited hospitals increased 4.49 and 3.58 times, respectively. The budgeted and actual beds count increased 43% and 55%, respectively. All inside structure and processes of hospitals were optimized, and green areas, parking slots and waiting areas increased greatly. Headcount of budgeted and actual increased 15.09% and 70.31%, respectively. Qualifications of healthcare technicians were improved in country level hospitals as well; there were more undergraduates and more senior competent personnel. In maternal and child health care hospitals and township hospitals, more diploma holders and personnel who had passed the middle level professional appraisals were observed. Numbers of hospital treatments, hospitalizations counts, numbers of surgeries performed increased 2.0, 2.1, and 2.0 times, respectively. Accuracy of diagnosis on hospitalized counts increased 3.12%. Utilizations of bed counts increased from 63.87% to 66.53%. The average duration of hospitalizations decreased from 7.36 days to 7.10 days. Numbers of clinical and surgery types increased 928 and 285, respectively. Both customer and staff satisfactory score reached 4.5 points in 2015. Conclusion The completed projects of health system recovery using World Bank loan for ‘5.12’ Wenchuan earthquake is running well, and meet the expectations.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of doctor-nurse-patient communication area established in the ward. MethodsBefore (July to September 2013) and three months after (October to December 2013) the establishment of doctor-nurse-patient communication area, 30 doctors, 30 nurses and 216 patients or their family members were respectively investigated by questionnaires and interviews, and the data were collected and compared by t test. ResultsThirty questionnaires for doctors, 30 for nurses and 216 for patients or their family members were issued before and after the establishment of doctor-nurse-patient communication area. The response rate for the questionnaires was 100%. After the implementation of doctor-nurse-patient communication area, the satisfaction of patients' family members, nurses' awareness of the patients' condition and implementation of health education were significantly higher than those before the implementation (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe doctor-nurse-patient communication area established in the surgical ward can promote the trust between the patients and medical staff, create a good atmosphere to understand the needs of patients, meet patients' demand as far as possible and improve communication ability of medical staff, which makes doctors, nurses and patients more satisfied.
Riboflavin-ultraviolet A (UVA) collagen cross-linking has not only achieved good clinical efficacy in the treatment of corneal diseases such as dilatation keratopathy, bullae keratopathy, infectious keratopathy, and in the combined treatment of corneal refractive surgeries, but also its efficacy and safety in scleral collagen cross-linking have been initially confirmed. To better promote the application of cross-linking in the clinical treatment of corneal and scleral diseases, exploring controllability and predictability of the surgical efficacy are both important for evaluating the surgical efficacy and personalized precision treatment. In this paper, the progress on the cross-linking depth of riboflavin-UVA collagen cross-linking, and its relationship with the cross-linking effect will be reviewed. It will provide the reference for further application of this procedure in ophthalmology clinics.
This investigation analyzes the management of medical schools merged with comprehensive universities through internet search and research review in order to reveal management model and effect of the merger. The conclusion is safely reached that governance models are divided into two different patterns: centralized management and decentralized management. Eight universities, representing the two models, were selected and evaluated comprehensively. Among them, the universities that carried out decentralized management have greater development after the merger based on a quality comparison concerning freshmen, faculty, teaching and research between the two patterns. In China, decentralized management in comprehensive universities is more beneficial to the development of medical schools
