ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of unsatisfied needs of patients after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer through quantitative and qualitative mixed research methods, and to provide reference for the development of effective health management programs in the future.Methods:A total of 297 patients who were hospitalized in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January to December 2021 after radical gastretomy were selected as subjects by convenient sampling method. The general data questionnaire and Short-Form Survivor Unmet Needs Survey (SF-SUNS) were used to investigate. Selected 12 patients with gastric cancer by objective sampling method for semi-structured in-depth interview and collate data by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The total average score of 297 subjects who did not meet the requirements was (60.91 ± 16.00), which was in the middle level. The average score of each dimension from high to low was: continuous care unmet needs (2.37 ± 0.75) points, work economy unmet needs (2.22 ± 0.65) points, information unmet needs (2.20 ± 0.92) points, emotion unmet needs (1.72 ± 0.60) points. Educational background, main economic source of family and working state were the influencing factors of unmet demand ( t=5.32, -3.59, -3.28, all P<0.05). Qualitative research had extracted four themes: unmet needs for symptom network recognition and accurate symptom management, unmet needs for shared decision participation and disease perception trajectory, unmet needs for dignity maintenance and reconstruction of psychological stress mechanism, and unmet needs for "Internet plus" mobile medical continuous care. Conclusions:The problem of unmet needs of patients after radical gastritis is still prevalent and affected by a variety of factors. It is suggested that medical workers build an effective supportive care system based on the status quo of unmet needs of patients, promote the whole process of multidimensional health management services for patients with gastric cancer, and improve the quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of low-frequency sound waves (16~160 Hz) of somatosensory music on healthy people’s microcirculation in kidney and bladder meridians;To discuss the collateral channels biophysical mechanisms in somatosensory music treatment. Methods Low-frequency sound waves of somatosensory music were played near the 30 healthy people’s kidney and bladder meridians orderly. At the same time, Laser Doppler Flowmetry was used to analyze microcirculation in meridian acupoints.Results The low-frequency acoustic waves with different frequencies had significantly different effects on kidney and bladder meridians. The effects of the same frequency on different acupoints of the same meridian were similar. The G1 (49.00 Hz) showed the most significant effects on the kidney meridian (P<0.01);G2 (98.00 Hz) showed the most significant impact on bladder meridian (P<0.01).Conclusion The kidney and bladder meridians have selective absorption characteristics to the low-frequency sound waves of different frequencies. Specific frequency sound waves can cause resonance in kidney and bladder meridians.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss different effects of low frequency sound waves of different timbres on microcirculation and transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure of Weizhong (BL40) of healthy people;To study the mechanism of somatosensory music therapy. Methods The same frequency (98.00 Hz), different timbres (sounds of guqin, flute, ocarina, bell, and drum were simulated) low frequency sound waves were played near Weizhong acupoint of 30 healthy persons. Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to analyze microcirculation and the changes of transcutaneous oxygen pressure of meridian acupoints, when each timbre was played for 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 s. Results Sound waves of bell, drum, and flute made point microcirculation and transcutaneous oxygen pressure gradually increase, and the influence of drum>bell>flute;timbre waves of ocarina and guqin made the point microcirculation and transcutaneous oxygen pressure decrease gradually decrease, and the decrease of ocarina was more significant than that of guqin. In the same time point, sound waves of bell made point microcirculation and transcutaneous oxygen pressure increase more than the other sound waves (P<0.01). Conclusion Low frequency sounds of different timbres belong to different properties of five elements. They have different components in frequency spectrum, and can create different effects on acupoints.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of magnetic resonance imaging of heart in diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris.Methods A total of 24 patients with unstable angina pectoris including 15 male and 9 female confirmed by coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled.All 24 patients were scanned by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging ( CMR),and then the analyses of the first pass images and the delayed contrast enhancement images were carried out for comparison.The findings of cardiac structure,cardiac function,myocardial ischemia,myocardial necrosis,myocardial edema were taken for answering to the images made by echocardiography (UCG) and coronary angiography (CAG) linked with conventional examinations for the diagnosis of coronary disease.Results Compared with the UCG,CMR provided more detailed information about the right ventricle,and the information about left ventricular structure and function given by UCG was very good consistent with that offered by CMR,and CMR could detect myocardial ischemia,myocardial edema and the myocardial necrosis,which were of good consistency with findings often observed by conventional inspection methods.Conclusions Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is of high value in diagnosis and evaluation of unstable angina pectoris and is far superior over other conventional methods for examinations of unstable angina pectoris.
ABSTRACT
The ultrasonographic appearances of osteosarcomas and the roles of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and surgical staging of osteosarcomas were investigated. A comparative study was performed on 45 cases of osteosarcomas by ultrasonography and radiography. Bony changes, periosteal reaction and soft tissue mass were evaluated for each lesion. The results showed that ultrasonography revealed a solid mass around bone in 42 patients, bone destruction in 24 patients and periosteal reaction in 16 patients. Plain radiographs showed bony changes in 44 patients and no bony change in remaining one patient, shadowing of soft tissue swelling in 30 patients, and pulmonary metastases in 3patients. Surgical biopsy and pathological examination confirmed osteosarcoma in all 45 patients.Soft tissue mass was confirmed in 42 patients surgically. The diagnostic accuracy of soft tissue masses by ultrasonography and radiography was 100 % (42/42) and 71.4 % (30/42), respectively. The positive rate of ultrasonography and radiography in displaying bony changes was 53.3 % (24/45) and 97.8 % (44/45), respectively. In conclusion, in the detection of soft tissue mass of osteosarcoma, ultrasonography is superior to radiography, and in displaying bony changes of osteosarcomas, radiography is superior to ultrasonography. So it may come to a conclusion that plain radiography combined with ultrasonography can completely display the bony and soft tissue lesion of osteosarcomas.
