ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of embodied emotion priming on attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency.Methods:From June to December 2018, a total of 91 college students with depression tendency were recruited to participate in the experiment.A 3(embodied emotion priming: positive priming, negative priming and no priming) × 2 (emotional face: happy and sad) mixed design was adopted to measure the attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency using the dot probe paradigm. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for repeated measurement analysis of variance.Results:In terms of attentional bias, the interaction effect between embodied emotion priming types and emotional faces was significant ( F(2, 88)=5.97, P=0.004, ηp2=0.119). Further simple effect analysis showed that, under the happy-face condition, participants' attentional bias reaction time(△RT) was significantly higher when primed with embodied positive emotion than those primed with embodied negative emotion((14.30±18.23)ms, (-6.53±38.17)ms, P<0.05). The participants' attentional bias △RT was significantly lower when primed with embodied negative emotion than participants with no priming ((-6.53±38.17)ms, (9.16±30.62)ms, P<0.05). Under the sad-face condition, the participants' attentional bias △RT was significantly higher when primed with embodied negative emotion((28.22±35.33)ms) than participants primed with embodied positive emotion((11.71±29.24)ms, P<0.05) and no priming ((7.63±30.60)ms, P<0.05). Conclusion:Embodied emotion priming can affect the attentional bias of individuals with depression tendency.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effect of continuing nursing intervention with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristics on mental state and quality of life of empty nest elderly patients with hypertension, and to provide evidence-based theoretical basis for the development of continuing nursing care for empty nest elderly patients with hypertension.@*Methods@#Totally 100 cases of empty nest elderly patients with hypertension were randomly divided into study group and control group by random number method, 50 cases in each group; two groups of patients were given regular nursing according to doctor's instructions to adjust blood pressure drugs and hypertension; control group patients were given routine continuing nursing intervention after discharge; study group patients were given traditional Chinese medicine characteristics on the basis of the control group. Sustained nursing intervention; Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used to measure the degree of anxiety at admission, discharge and 6 months after discharge. The rate of blood pressure control reaching the standard at admission, discharge and 6 months after discharge and the clinical effect at discharge and 6 months after discharge were compared between the two groups. SF-36 was used to assess the quality of life of the 2 groups at admission, at the time of discharge and 6 months after discharge.@*Results@#There was no significant difference in SAS scores between the two groups at admission and discharge (P>0.05). The SAS score in the study group at 6 months after discharge was (44.65 ± 4.32) points and (46.91 ± 4.56) points in the control group, and there was significant difference (t=2.544, P=0.006). There was no significant difference in the control rates of systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups at admission and discharge (P>0.05). The control rates of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in the study group were better than those in the control group at 6 months after discharge (t=4.762,4.336, P = 0.029, 0.037); there was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy between the two groups at discharge (P>0.05), and the clinical efficacy of the study group at 6 months after discharge was better than that of the control group (u=1.997, P=0.046). There was no significant difference in the scores of SF-36 at discharge (P>0.05); the scores of SF-36 at discharge for 6 months in the study group were significantly better than those in the control group (t=4.875-8.975, P=0.000); no cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occurred in the study group for 6 months, 4 cases of unstable angina pectoris and 4 cases of cerebral infarction occurred in the control group. In 2 cases, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was 12.00% (6/50). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.433, P=0.035).@*Conclusion@#Continuous nursing intervention with TCM characteristics can significantly improve the anxiety level of empty nest elderly patients with hypertension, is conducive to the control of blood pressure, improve the clinical efficacy, reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, improve the quality of life of patients, and has the advantages of simplicity, safety and reliability, low cost, and so on.

ABSTRACT
To compare different nasal cavity nursing methods on mechanically ventilated patients. According to acute physiology and chronic health evaluation [APACHEII], 615 cases of mechanically ventilated patients were divided into group A, group B and group C by stratified random method. Traditional oral nursing plus aspirating secretions from oral cavity and nasal cavity q6h were done in group A. Based on methods in group A, normal saline was used for cleaning nasal cavity in group B. Besides the methods in group A, atomizing nasal cleansing a6h was also used in group C. Incidence rate of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [VAP] and APACHE II scores after administrating were compared. The correlation between APACHE II score and outcomes was analyzed by Spearman-rank correlation. In group A, incidence of VAP was 36.76%, group B was 30.24%, group C was 20.38%, and the difference was statistically significant. APACHE II scores in group C were significantly lower compared with group A and B. APACHE II score was negatively correlated with clinical outcomes. For mechanically ventilated patients, nasal nursing can't be ignored and the new atomizing nasal cleaning is an effective method for VAP prevention
