Effects of Sour Tastes on Blood Components in Anemic mice - Animal Experiment for Nursing Intervention of Female Anemia -: Hye Sook Shin, Sang Woo Kim; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2001;31(2):268-278. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2001.31.2.268

Abstract PDF: Many women in the world have suffered from anemia produced by menstruation, pregnancy and delivery. In the theory of oriental medicine, a sour taste is believed to have a tonic effect on the blood. Thus this paper is to investigate the effect of sour tastes on the improvement in anemia-induced female mice, using citric acid and Fructus schizandrae. The method used in this experiment was the change of RBC, WBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Fe, and TIBC in the blood of female mice who were fed citric acid and Fructus schizandrae. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Compared with the control group (anemia-induced group without treatment), the mean number of RBC in the blood of mice was significantly increased only in evaluating the change of sample group fed Fructus schizandrae 500mg/kg. 2. Compared with the control group (anemia-induced group without treatment), the mean number of WBC in the blood of mice was not significantly larger in both sample groups fed citric acid and Fructus schizandrae. 3. Compared with the control group (anemia-induced group without treatment), the mean number of Hemoglobin in the blood of mice was significantly larger only in evaluating the change of the sample group fed Fructus schizandrae. 4. Compared with the control group (anemia-induced group without treatment), the mean percentage of Hematocrit in blood of mice was significantly increased only in evaluating the change of sample group fed Fructus schizandrae 500mg/kg and sample group fed Fructus schizandrae 250mg/kg for 3days. 5. Compared with control group (anemia- induced group without treatment), the mean volume of Fe in serum of mice was significantly increased only in evaluating the change of sample group fed Fructus schizandrae 500mg/kg. 6. Compared with control group (anemia-induced group without treatment), the mean TIBC in serum of mice was significantly increased only in evaluating the change of sample group fed Fructus schizandrae 500mg/kg and sample group fed Fructus schizandrae 250mg/kg for 7days. According to these results, a sour taste is presumed to have a general tonic effect on anemia, but more study must be taken on the effects of citric acid in improving female anemia.

A comparison of the Effects of Intravenous Fluid Warming and Skin Surface Warming on Peri-operative Body Temperature and Acid Base Balance of Elderly Patients with Abdominal Surgery: Hyosun Park, Haesang Yoon; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(7):1061-1072. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.7.1061

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of intravenous fluid warming and skin surface warming on peri-operative body temperature and acid base balance of abdominal surgical patients under general anesthesia. METHOD: Data collection was performed from January 4th, to May 31, 2004. The intravenous fluid warming(IFW) group(30 elderly patients) was warmed through an IV line by an Animec set to 37 degrees C. The skin surface warming(SSW) group(30 elderly patients) was warmed by a circulating-water blanket set to 38 degrees C under the back and a 60W heating lamp 40 cm above the chest. The warming continued from induction of general anesthesia to two hours after completion of surgery. Collected data was analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni methods. RESULTS: SSW was more effective than IFW in preventing hypothermia(p= .043), preventing a decrease of HCO3-(p= .000) and preventing base excess(p= .000) respectively. However, there was no difference in pH between the SSW and IFW(p= .401) groups. CONCLUSION: We conclude that skin surface warming is more effective in preventing hypothermia, and HCO3- and base excess during general anesthesia, and returning to normal body temperature after surgery than intravenous fluid warming; however, skin surface warming wasn't able to sustain a normal body temperature in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.

pH, Temperature, Hydration of the Stratum Corneum of the Dorsal Hand and the Cord Area, and Acid Mantle Formation during Early Days of life in High-risk Newborns: Youngmee Ahn, Min Sohn, Sangmi Lee, Mijin Lee; J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(1):30-38. Published online February 28, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2013.43.1.30

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The study was done to explore variations in physiologic parameters of the stratum corneum (SC) of the dorsal hand and cord area during early days of life in high-risk newborns.

Methods

In this longitudinal study, a total of 77 high-risk newborns were assessed for pH, temperature and hydration of the SC of the dorsal hand and the cord area on the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 5^th and 7^th days of life.

Results

Results showed that an acid mantle (AM) was formed in 57.1% for dorsal hand and 35.1% for cord area, implying significant delay regardless of decrease in pH (F=103.60, p<.001), and hydration (F=4.00, p=.003) across days in both areas. Peripheral hypothermia with low hydration level was also observed in both areas. There was a positive relation between hydration and temperature (.14<r<.27, p<.010), and negative relation between hydration and pH in both areas (-.23<r<-.15, p<.010). Antibiotics may play a positive role in AM formation.

Conclusion

High-risk newborns may experience delay in acid mantle formation on SC, hypothermia and decreases in hydration on peripheral sites during the first 7 days of life.
