ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the working categories of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) nursing and its existing problems, and to provide a realistic basis for the construction of primary PCI in clinical nursing. Methods Qualitative interviews were used to carry out semi-structured and personal in-depth interviews among 5 doctors and 27 nurses in 5 hospitals. 7 step analysis of Colaizzi was used to analyze the data. Results The working categories of primary PCI nursing involves professional team management, early identification, preoperative preparation, evaluation and predictive nursing, disease observation, safe transfer, psychological nursing and health guidance. Conclusion Primary PCI nursing is still in the stage of continuous optimization, but some parts of the process are not standardized and the nursing behavior is inconsistent. Primary PCI nursing needs to form nursing behavior norms under the guidelines of evidence-based medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on the expression of phosphorylated glutamate receptor 1 (p-GluR1) and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ α (p-CaMK Ⅱ α) under small dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia in the depressed rats.Methods Forty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,aged 2-3 months,were used in this study.Mental depression was induced by exposing the animals to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).Forty mentally depressed rats were divided randomly into 5 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:M0-4 groups.Propofol 80 mg/kg and ketamine 10 mg/kg were injected intraperitoneally in M0-4 groups.After disappearance of righting reflex,M1-4 groups received ECT of 60,120,180 and 240 mC once a day for 7 consecutive days,respectively,by means of a current (frequency 50 Hz,sine-wave,pulse width 0.7 ms,1-s duration) delivered via ear-clip electrodes,while group M0 received ECT of no quantity of electric charge via ear-clip electrodes.Before CUMS,at 1 day after CUMS and at 1 day after ECT,sucrose preference test was applied to evaluate the depressive behavior.The sucrose preference percentage (SPP) was calculated.At 4 days after CUMS and 4 days after ECT,the learning and memory function was assessed using Morris water maze test.The rats were then sacrificed,and hippocampi were isolated to detect the expression of GluR1,p-GluRl,CaMK Ⅱ α and p-CaMK Ⅱ α by Western blot.Results The SPP was significantly lower after CUMS than before CUMS in M0-4 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with that after CUMS,the SPP was significantly increased,the escape latency was shortened,and the space exploration time was prolonged after ECT in M1-4 groups (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in SPP after ECT between M1-4 groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group M0,the SPP was significantly increased,and the expression of pGluR1 and p-CaMK Ⅱ α was up-regulated in M1-4groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group M2,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the space exploration time was shortened,and the expression of pGluR1 and p-CaMK Ⅱ α was down-regulated after ECT in the other groups (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in GluR1 and CaMK Ⅱ α expression after ECT between the five groups (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion ECT can induce cognitive decline when applied for anti-depression under small dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia,and the mechanism is related to increased phosphorylation of GluR1 and CaMK Ⅱ α expression in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of low-dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia on expres?sion of glutamine receptor subunit 1 (GluR1) and 2 (GluR2) in the hippocampus of depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy. Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200~250 g, were used in this study. Mental depres?sion was induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress. Thirty-two depressed rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): metal depression group (group A), ECT group (group B), ECT+propofol group (group C) and ECT+propofol+ket?amine group (group D). Eight normal rats served as control group. Control group received no treatment. Group A received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 8 mL/kg plus sham ECT. Group B, C and D received ECT once a day for 7 con?secutive days following intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 8 mL/kg, propofol 80 mg/kg and propofol 80 mg/kg +ketamine 10mg/kg, respectively. Sucrose preference test and Morris water maze were performed to assess depressed be?havior and learning and memory function, respectively. RT-PCR and Western-blot assay were used to detect the expres?sion of GluR1 , GluR2 and their mRNA expression. Results After ECT, compared with control group and group A, changes of SPP in group B, C and D were obvious. The change of SPP in group D was much higher than all other groups (P0.05). Conclusion Low-dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia exert effective antidepressive action and improve learning and memory function of depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy. The beneficial effects of the ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia may be related to up-regulation expression of GluR1 and GluR2 in hippocampus.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficacy of continuous femoral block on the postoperative analgesia and functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two hundreds and eighty patients who underwent TKA were randomized into two groups:the group receiving continuous femoral block (CFNB) and the group receiving patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), each group included 140 participants. Femoral nerve block with ropivacaine by ultrasonic guidance was performed in group CFNB and group PCIA were administrated with patient controlled intravenous analgesia. Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores at rest and in motion at 24, 48, 72 h, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, also the NRS scores at hospital discharge were recorded. The incidence of moderate-severity pain, as well as the degree of knee flexion and the WOMAC scores at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery were analyzed. The rescue analgesic administration and analgesia-related adverse effects were also recorded. Data were expressed as mean± standard deviation (SD) for normally distributed continuous variables and total number (percent frequency) for categorical variables. If non-normally distributed, data were expressed median inter-quartile range. Student's t-test, Wilcoxon rank test were used to compare results for continuous variables, when appropriate. Chi-square test was used to compare results for categorical variable, Fisher exact test was used for categorical variables when the number of event was less than 5.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>NRS scores of group CFNB in motion was 3 (3-4) at discharge time, and 3 (2-4), 3 (2-3) at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, while the scores of group PCIA was 4 (4-4), 3 (3-4), 3 (3-4), respectively. And at rest, NRS scores of group CFNB was 3 (2-3), 1 (1-2), 1 (1-1) at discharge time, and 3, 6 months postoperatively. Compared with group PCIA, NRS scores in motion of group CFNB at discharge time (Z=-5.174, P<0.05) and 3 months (Z=2.308, P=0.021), as well as 6 months postoperatively (Z=-2.495, P=0.013), were significantly lower,also for the NRS scores at rest (Z=-2.405, P=0.016; Z=-4.360, P<0.05; Z=-9.268, P<0.05). The degree of knee flexion of group CFNB at 3 and 6 months postoperatively was 92 (88-97), 103 (99-106), while the degree of knee flexion of group PCIA was 89 (86-95), 100 (97-105); the WOMAC scores of group CFNB at 3 and 6 months postoperatively was 21 (18-26), 18 (16-22), while the scores of group PCIA was 24 (20-27), 21 (17-24). WOMAC scores of group CFNB was lower compared with group PCIA at 3 (Z=-2.467, P=0.014) and 6 (Z=-2.537, P=0.011) months postoperatively while the degree of knee flexion of group CFNB was higher (Z=-2.175, P=0.030; Z=-2.471, P=0.013). Moreover, the frequency of bolus and frequency of rescue of group CFNB was 2.3 and 0.6, while the frequency of group PCIA was 2.6 and 1.1, the frequency of bolus and frequency of rescue were lower in group CFNB (t=-2.984, P=0.003; t=-3.213, P=0.002). The incidence of adverse events such muscle weakness of low limbs,nausea and vomiting were similar in two groups (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>CFNB can alleviate the postoperative pain after TKA with safety, help improving the short-middle-term functions of knee and quality of patients' lives.</p>
