ABSTRACT
Objective:To carry out the clinical observation and research of OPT intense pulsed light combined parameters in the treatment of lip hairiness.Methods:A total of 94 female patients with lip hairiness who were treated with OPT intense pulsed light depilation were collected, of which 22 were treated with single parameter and 72 were treated with combined parameters, both once a month for 7 months. The treatment effects of the two groups were compared. From October 2013 to October 2019, the patients were collected from the Department of Medical Cosmetology, the Quzhou Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.Results:With the increase of treatment times, the curative effect of patients gradually appeared, and the χ 2 value was 10.87 in the single parameter group and 105.25 in the combined parameter group. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the single parameter array between the two comparisons of different treatment times; there was statistical significance in the combined parameter group. The χ 2 value of treatment (1 vs. 3) times was 26.05, (1 vs. 7) times was 73.3, (3 vs. 7) times was 23.82 ( P<0.017). There was significant difference in the constituent ratio and total effective rate between the two groups after 3 and 7 times of treatment. The total effective rate of 3 times of treatment was 36.36% in single parameter group and 70.83% in combined parameter group; The total effective rate of 7 times of treatment was 59.09% in the single parameter group and 81.94% in the combined parameter group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Combined parameters OPT intense pulsed light therapy has better effect on lip hairiness than single parameter, and the treatment is safe and has good clinical application value.
ABSTRACT
Pulmonary embolism is the cardiovascular disease caused by endogenous or exogenous emboli blocking the pulmonary artery system. Pulmonary embolism is clinically very common and has a high recurrence rate. Its etiology is complicated. Pulmonary embolism recurrence can be caused by many factors, which affect its prognosis. Complicated diseases, residual thrombosis, anticoagulation therapy and respiratory disorders are the main factors that lead to pulmonary embolism recurrence. Some blood test indicators can also reflect the recurrence of pulmonary embolism. This paper reviews the risk factors and prevention strategies of pulmonary embolism recurrence, with the purpose of reducing recurrence rate, improving prognosis and thereby providing objective evidence for clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To apply CBL combined with PBL based on SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-based) principle in nursing practice teaching in radiotherapy.Methods:A total of 100 nurses who performed nursing practice in the Department of Radiotherapy in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2016 to May 2020 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into a control group and a study group according to their admissions, with 50 people in each group. The study group used CBL combined with PBL teaching based on SMART principle, and the control group used traditional practice teaching. After the clinical practice, the two groups were assessed on theoretical and clinical practice skills, and the two groups' teaching satisfaction and teaching effects were evaluated through seminars and questionnaire surveys. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The theoretical and clinical practice performance assessment scores of the practical nurses in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001). The teaching satisfaction rate of the practice nurses in the control group was 62.00% (31/50), and that of the practice nurses in the study group was 96.00% (48/50), with significant differences ( P<0.001). In terms of improving independent learning ability, information acquisition and problem analysis ability, improving clinical thinking ability, mobilizing learning enthusiasm, enhancing teamwork ability, nurse-patient communication ability, and recognition of innovation ability, the teaching satisfaction of the research group was higher than that of the control group. Conclusion:The application of SMART principle in teaching has the advantages of clear goals and quantifiable evaluation. The combination of CBL and PBL based on SMART principle can help to improve the mastery of theoretical and practical skills of radiotherapy practice nurses, and achieve satisfactory teaching results.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the management effects of health knowledge-attitude-practice education on phosphorous control in peritoneal dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia.@*Methods@#A total of 64 peritoneal dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia with long-term stable follow-up in the People’s Hospital of Quzhou from 2016 to 2018 were selected, and randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The groups received regular health education and health knowledge-attitude-practice education for 3 months, respectively. T-test and paired t-test were used to analyze the difference in the two groups, before and after intervention, in the score of knowledge-attitude-practice, serum phosphorus level, daily dietary phosphorous, and dosage of phosphate binder.@*Results@#Before the health education intervention,there was no significant difference between the two groups’ questionnaire score of knowledge-attitude-practice of hyperphosphatemia, serum phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), daily dietary phosphorous, dosage of phosphorus binder, and weekly urea clearance index in gender, age, and other general information. After 3 months of health education, the total score, knowledge, and behavior scores were higher in both groups than before intervention, and the scores of the intervention group were significantly higher than the control group. The scores increased by 16.64, 6.15, and 9.52 points respectively in the control group, and by 26.26, 11.67, and 13.56 points respectively in the intervention group. There was no significant difference in attitudes and beliefs between the groups before and after the intervention. After the intervention, the serum phosphorus level decreased, dosage of phosphate binder increased in both groups, the daily dietary phosphorous and iPTH decreased in the intervention group. These differences were statistically significant. The serum phosphorus level of the intervention group (1.86±0.42) mmol/L was lower than the control group (1.97±0.33) mmol/L, and the daily dietary phosphorous of the intervention group (831.22±187.85) mg/d was lower than the control group (928.23±192.81) mg/d. The difference in dosage of phosphate binder and iPTH of the groups was not statistically significant.@*Conclusions@#Health knowledge-attitude-practice education in peritoneal dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia can improve their level of knowledge-attitude-practice, and promote the reduction of serum phosphorus.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the relationship between atherosclerosis and hemodynamic of coronary artery in mice detecting by ultrasound bio‐microscopy flow imaging . Methods Double 14 20‐week‐old LDL‐R‐/‐and C57BL/6 male mice were selected ,and randomly divided into two groups in each genotype according to weight . Each two groups were fed to 28 weeks or 36 weeks age respectively with west diet . Coronary artery hemodynamics in these mice were assessed in vivo by Vevo ?2100 ultrasound imaging system ,then the intima‐media thickness( IM T ) of aorta in histopathology were analyzed . T he differences of coronary artery hemodynamic parameters such as maximum velocity ( Vmax ) ,mean velocity ( Vmean) and velocity time integral ( V T I) were compared between mice of different genotypes of the same week and mice of different weeks of the same genotype . And the relationship between coronary artery hemodynamic in ultrasound and aortic IM T in histopathology were analyzed . Results ① All coronary hemodynamic parameters in LDL‐R‐/‐ mice were significantly lower than those of wild‐type mice except the Vmax between two 28‐week‐old genotypes group at the same weeks of age of different genotypes ( all P ＜0 .05) . But there was no significant difference in coronary artery hemodynamic parameters between mice of the same genotype at different weeks of age( P ＞0 .05) . ②T he histopathological measurements of aortic IM T in LDL‐R‐/‐mice were significantly higher than those of wild type mice ( all P ＜ 0 .05 ) ,and those of 36‐week‐old mice were significantly higher than those of 28‐week‐old mice ( all P ＜ 0 .05 ) . ③ All coronary hemodynamic parameters such as Vmax ,Vmean and V TI were negatively correlated with pathological measurements of aortic IM T ( r ＝ －0 .532 , －0 .423 , －0 .524 ; all P ＜ 0 .05 ) .

ABSTRACT
Objectives Exploring the association between depression/anxiety and mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods A total of 178 subjects was enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criterion with 88 men and 90 women at age of (54±12)years. The subjects were divided into four groups including CAD with depression/anxiety, CAD without depression/anxiety, depression/anxiety without CAD, and control group based on the state of coronary artery, the scores of Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item(GAD-7). MSIMI was diagnosed by echocardiography. Data were analyzed by SPSS19.0. Results The incidence of MSIMI in all CAD patients was 17.24%. Within each group, 35.00% patients were MSIMI in CAD with depression/anxiety, 2.13% were in CAD without depression/anxiety, 14.29% were in depression/anxiety without CAD, and 2.38% were in control group. The risks of MSIMI in depression/anxiety without CAD and with CAD groups were 6.83 (P>0.05) and 22.08 times (P<0.05) higher than that in control group, respectively. Logistic regression showed that a 1-point increment in the GAD-7 score, but not PHQ-9 score [ OR=0.95, 95% CI (0.77-1.17), P=0.63], was associated with 1.22-fold increase in the likehood of MSIMI [95% CI (1.07-1.38), P=0.00]. Conclusions The MSIMI rate is much higher in patients with CAD comorbid depression/ anxiety compared with CAD without depression/anxiety. Anxiety, but not depression, is an independent risk factor of MSIMI in CAD patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of pleth variability index (PVI) in guiding volume therapy in the patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods Forty patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index＜35 kg/m2 , of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or Ⅱ ,scheduled for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy, were randomized into 2 groups (n =20 each) : control group (group C) and PVI group.During induction of anesthesia, multiple electrolyte solution was infused rapidly as a bolus of 250 ml, followed by a 2-8 ml · kg-1 · h-1 infusion.In group C, 6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 and sodium chloride injection 50 ml and metaraminol 0.5 mg were administered to maintain mean arterial pressure ≥ 65 mmHg.In group PVI, 6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 and sodium chloride injection 50 ml and metaraminol 0.5 mg were administered to maintain PVI ≤ 13％ and mean arterial pressure ≥ 65 mmHg.Immediately after the beginning of one-lung ventilation (T1) , immediately after the termination of one-lung ventilation (T2) and at 1 h after surgery (T3) , arterial oxygen saturation were recorded, and arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis, and for determination of lactic acid concentrations.The blood creatinine concentrations were measured at 24 h before and after surgery.The fulid balance was recorded.Results The amount of colloid solution infused, total volume of fluid infused and lactic acid concentrations at T3were significantly lower in group C than in group PVI.There were no significant differences in the amount of crystralloid solution infused, urine volume, blood loss, arterial oxygen saturation at each time point, and blood creatinine concentrations at 24 h before and after surgery between the two groups.Conclusion PVI-guided volume therapy can not only maintain adequate blood volume and tissue perfusion, but also reduce the amount of fluid infused, and is helpful in mitigating lung water overload when used for the patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the differentially expressed genes in the development of vascular medium calcification in rats using the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). Methods Twenty-four 6-week old SD rats of specific pathogen free grade were recruited and randomly allocated into calcified group (n=12) and control group (n=12). Rats were made for vascular calcification model in calcified group (vitamin D3 plus nicotine, VDN). All rats were sacrificed to measure concentration of calcium in the arterial tissue and examine the pathological lesion changes. RNA in rat aortic tunica tissue was extracted and reverse transcripted into cDNA. cDNA fragments which highly expressed calcification were isolated in calcified group using the SSH. Differentially expressed genes with cDNA fragment were inserted into PMD18-T plasmid vector and transformed to competent DH-5α by means of heating transfer. cDNA libraries of differentially expressed gene between calcified group and control group were successfully constructed. Recombinant vectors were analyzed by colony PCR. Positive genes were randomly selected for sequencing and analyzed by BLAST. Six genes, for example, were randomly selected for RT-PCR certification. Results (1) The pathological examination results demonstrated that in calcified group there were obvious calcium diposits and media squirm in tunica media of rat aortic wall, while in control group no calcium diposit was found. (2) There was statistical significance in calcium concentration in vascular tissue between calcified group[(15.34 ± 2.51)mg/g] and control group [(5.20 ± 0.75) mg/g] (P＜0.01). (3) Subtracted libraries in vascular calcification was successfully established. Ninety-two positive clones in positive library and 18 positive clones in reverse library were obtained after the colony PCR identification. The length of insertion fragments was concentrated between 150 bp and 400 bp. Calcification-related 43 up-regulated genes and 11 down-regulated genes were obtained through sequencing and BLAST analysis in positive clones. RT-PCR validation indicated that the expressions of 5 genes such as CytoP450 and Nell1 had greater increase in calcified group than those in control group, the average fold change was 1.71.Conclusions Model of vascular calcification induced by vitamin D3 plus nicotine is successfully constructed. Related gene expression spectrum is changed in the process of vascular calcification.Some ossification genes and genes associated with apoptosis, oxidation, inflammation and cytokines are up-regulated. At the same time, some genes which possibly inhibit vascular calcification are down -regulated.
