Methods From January to March 2010, 64 patients who were diagnosed to have colorectal cancer and received therapeutic operations were investigated with self-rating depressive scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-made related questionnaire respectively. Psychological assessment and medical records gathering were also carried out. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS 13.0. Results The total score of SDS (47.02±10.38) and SAS (42.42±7.96) of the 64 patients were both higher than those of the general population (Plt;0.001). The incidence rate of depression and anxiety was 42.2% and 20.3% respectively. Patients without stoma had lower SDS scores than those with stoma (P=0.004); patients undergoing Miles operation had higher SDS scores than those receiving non-fistula formation radical operations (P=0.039); patients receiving palliative treatment had higher SDS scores than those receiving non-fistula formation radical operations (P=0.007); patients with family monthly income less than 1 000 RMB had higher SDS scores than those with more than 3 000 RMB and between 1 001-3 000 RMB (P=0.017, 0.040). SAS scores among different patients were not significantly different (Pgt;0.05). SDS had positive correlation with SAS (Plt;0.001). Conclusions Patients with colorectal cancer have higher emotions of anxiety and depression after operation than those in the general population. It is suggested that more psychological consultation, treatment and nursing should be carried out to promote the overall physical and mental rehabilitation of the patients, especially for those having undergone stoma formation, late-stage patients and those with a low income.

【摘要】 目的 探討密閉式吸痰和開放式吸痰兩種方式對預防心胸外科術后機械通氣患者呼吸道感染的效果。 方法 2009年9月－2010年8月，將86例心胸外科術后機械通氣患者隨機分為兩組，試驗組應用密閉式吸痰法，對照組采用開放式吸痰法。觀察兩組患者術后機械通氣治療即刻及至拔出氣管插管后48 h內每日痰培養結果、每4小時監測一次體溫、血常規檢查及胸片結果、呼吸機相關性肺炎（ventilator associated pneumonia，VAP）發生情況。 結果 兩組患者在年齡、性別、病種方面差異均無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05），但痰培養結果陽性率、VAP發生率差異均有統計學意義（Plt;0.05）。兩組發生VAP患者的痰培養病原菌檢出情況:試驗組均為G-菌；對照組以G-菌為主，余者為真菌-白色念珠菌。 結論 密閉式吸痰法預防心胸外科術后機械通氣患者呼吸道感染效果較開放式吸痰法好。G-菌和真菌-白色念珠菌耐藥性強，治療難度大，臨床中應重視呼吸道感染的預防。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the effects of closed endotracheal suctioning (CS) and open endotracheal suctioning (OS) on the prevention of respiratory tract infection in mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery. Methods From September 2009 to August 2010, 86 mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery were randomly divided into two groups. CS and OS were provided for patients in the experimental group and the control group, respectively. The sputum culture result, body temperature every four hours, blood routine examination and chest X-ray result, and the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) were observed and compared between the two groups at the admission to the ICU and once a day thereafter. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in sex, age, or kinds of diseases (Pgt;0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups in the positive rate of sputum culture results and the incidence of VAP (Plt;0.05). The pathogens isolation in sputum culture of VAP patients were all Gram-negative bacteria in the experimental group, and mainly Gram-negative bacteria followed by fungi-Blastomyces albicans in the control group. Conclusions CS is more effective than OS in the prevention of respiratory tract infection in mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery. The drug resistance of Gram-negative bacteria and fungi-Blastomyces albicans is b, and the treatments of those bacteria are difficult. Thereafter, we should pay more attention to the prevention of respiratory tract infection.
