Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. The practice of evidence-based medicine means to integrate individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. So evidence and its quality is the key issue of evidence-based medicine. The purpose of this article is to introduce to the healthcare professionals the sources of evidence and how to search for evidence for them.

Methods From May to June 2011, 90 nursing students who had worked for over eight months were surveyed using the self-made questionnaire. Results About 87.5% of nursing students encountered the patient’s refusals in the clinical practice and the most important reason was that the patients and their families did not trust the experience of nursing students. Most of the students showed the negative emotion and response after the refusal. Conclusions Nursing students should strengthen their basic knowledge and basic skills, and improve their communication skills. Furthermore, the teachers also should pay attention to the cultivation of emotional intelligence and positive encouragement, which could assist the nursing students in dealing with the refusals in the right way.
Evidence has been retrieved through MEDLINE and Cochrane Libray about the treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease who suffered from on-off, dyskinesia and depression after chronic use of L-dopa. All of the evidence has been evaluated. Methods of evidence-based treatment were drawn up according to the evidence, clinciams’ experiences and patients’ preferences. All symptoms of the patient have been improved obviously.
We searched MEDLINE and The Cochrane Library to find high quality evidence aboutCa2＋ channel blocker in primary or secondary stroke prevention and summarized the avaliable evidence. The results show that in addition to the effect on hypertension, Ca2＋ channel blocker has antiartherosclerotic effect and can reduce the frequency rate of stroke. It has played an important role in primary stroke prevention. But concomitantly it can increase the risk of heart disease and as yet there is no evidence on secondary stroke prevention. Accordingly, Ca2＋ channel blockers should not be recommended as the first-fine medicine for stroke prevention.
Objective To study the clinical characteristics of mulifocal motor neuropathy. Methods Patients records in China Biological Medicine Database (CBM-disc 1980-2005)and WanFang Database were searched. Demographic data, clinical manifestations, electrophysiology, and laboratory findings on multifocal motor neuropathy were analyzed. Results Of the total 80 patients, 61 cases were males, and 19 were females. A single limb weakness began in all the patients. Weakness was usually accentuated distally(95.3%), accompanied by muscle amyotrophy(76.3%) and fasciculation(46.3%). Reflexes were reduced (96.4%). Sensory impairment and cranial involvement were rare. 92.1% of the patients showed conduction block of motor nerve. Results Of the total 80 patients, 61 cases were males, and 19 were females.

Methods One eight-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital for tonic seizure in October 2008. The physical examination results were normal with neither facial hemangioma nor ocular abnormalities. The only manifestation of the patient was epilepsy. The patient was treated with sodium valproate. Results According to cranial CT and MRI results, the patient was considered to have Sturge-Weber syndrome without facial hemangioma. The patient was treated with anticonvulsant drugs and experienced no recurrence of the seizures or any manifestations of mental retardation, hemiplegia, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke-like episodes or migraine during the following 12 months of follow-up. Conclusion In the absence of facial hemangioma, the diagnosis can be based on cranial CT and MRI. Sturge-Weber syndrome patients without facial hemangioma are helped by anticonvulsant drugs. According to this case and the reports of literature, most patients without facial hemangioma only manifest epilepsy which can be treated effectively with antiepileptic drugs and such patients have a good prognosis without operation, which is different from those with facial hemangioma.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the association between migraine and lacunar infarcts on MR image.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and cross-sectional studies on the association between migraine and lacunar infarcts from inception to March 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 5 studies involving 5 104 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there were no significant associations of migraine (OR=0.93, 95%CI 0.78 to 1.12, P=0.470) and aura (OR=1.10, 95%CI 0.89 to 1.36, P=0.390) with lacunar infarcts on MR image. Subgroup analysis by age, presence or absence of aura showed no significant tendency.ConclusionsThere is no significant relationship between migraine and lacunar infarcts. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.

Methods Two communitis in Chengdu were selected by randomized cluster sampling method. The morbidity and mortality in 132 303 people were calculated by prospective tracing. Results The annual incidence was 217.68 per 100 000, and the annual mortality was 49.13 per 100 000 in 2008. The annual incidence was 239.60 per 100 000, and the annual mortality was 41.57 per 100 000 in 2009. The age-standardized incidence was 216.01 per 100 000, and the age-standardized mortality was 43.61 per 100 000 in the two years. Ischemic cerebral apoplexy exceeded half of all and had a highest constituent ratio. The incidence Increased with the age (χ2=1 095.11, Plt;0.001), while there was no significant difference between the male and female (χ2=2.367, P=0.124). Conclusion The incidence of cerebral apoplexy in Chengdu City is similar to the average incidence of our country, and the mortality is lower than that of the average mortality.
Objective To know the status quo of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in primary general hospitals, analyze the differences among various intervention measures, and put forward guiding principles for MDRO infection control in primary general hospitals. Methods We investigated all patients (n=51 612) admitted into the hospital between January 2013 and December 2015, and found out 6 types of MDRO. Pre-interventional investigation was carried out between January 2013 and June 2014 (before intervention) during which no intervention measures were taken; Intervention was carried out between July 2014 and December 2015 (after intervention). All departments in the hospital (6 groups) were matched with intervention measures (6 groups) randomly. Then, we compared the MDRO detection rate, nosocomial infection case rate and intervention compliance rate among the groups. Results We detected altogether 611 MDRO cases (without duplication) out of the 51 612 cases. The total detection rate of MDRO was 1.18%. The detection rate of MDRO before and after intervention was 1.37% and 1.01%, respectively. The difference between the two was of statistical significance (P<0.05). After the intervention, the detection rate in groups 1, 5 and 6 was significantly lower than before (P<0.05); the differences in detection rate among groups 2, 3, and 4 were not significant (P> 0.05). Nosocomial infection rate decreased from 0.28% before intervention to 0.14% after intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, MDRO nosocomial infection case rate of groups 1, 5 and 6 was significantly lower than before (P<0.05); the rate was lower in groups 3 and 4 than before without any significance (P>0.05); no MDRO cases were detected in group 2 and comparison was meaningless. The knowledge rates of medical workers and of nursing staff increased from 52.97% and 20.00% before intervention to 78.76% and 66.34% after intervention, respectively (χ2=30.670, 38.604;P<0.05). The compliance to all kinds of protection measures improved significantly (P<0.05) except compliances to equipment of hand antiseptic agent and patient transfer order (P> 0.05). Conclusion Promoting the compliance rate to hand hygiene and environmental cleaning and disinfection, primary general hospitals can decrease the detection rate and nosocomial infection case rate of MDRO.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium citicoline tablets in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage within 72 hours from the onset. Methods A randomized , double -blind, double-dummy, active control clinical study was performed. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups. The treatment group （18 cases） received sodium citicoline tablets （0.2 g tid） and placebo capsule （0. 2 g tid）, while the control group （18 cases） received sodium citicoline capsule （0.2 g tid） and placebo tablets （0. 2 g tid）. The duration of treatment was 21 days for the two groups. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale （NIHSS） and Barthel Index （BI） were used to evaluate the recovery of neurological functions. Results NIHSS and BI scores increased significantly in both groups after treatment （P 〈0. 01 ）. There was no statistical difference of the improvement between the two groups （P 〉0. 05）. No adverse drug reaction or significant change in laboratory norms was found in either group. Conclusions Sodium citicoline tablets is effective and relatively safe in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage. The efficacy and safety of sodium citicoline tablets in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage is similar to that of sodium citicoline capsule.
