ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of dual-tuberosity locking plate for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed data of patients with proximal humeral fractures treated with a new locking plate from July 2017 to July 2019. Finally, 19 eligible patients were included, including 12 females and 7 males, with an average age of 64.0±12.8 years (range, 32-85 years). According to the Neer classification of proximal humeral fractures, 1 case was two-part fractures, 9 cases three-part fractures and 9 cases four-part fractures. Among them, 9 cases combined with greater and lesser tuberosities fractures and 10 cases with isolated greater tuberosity fractures. Constant-Murley and disabilities of the arm shoulder and hand (DASH) scores, the change of neck-shaft angle, the change of humeral head height, tuberosity consolidation and other complications were recorded at the latest follow-up.Results:The mean follow-up time was 16.1 months (range, 12-18 months). All fractures were healed within follow-up period. Mean Constant-Murley score was 84.2±11.0 (range, 55-98), DASH score was 19.4±11.6 (range, 2.3-47.8) and VAS was 1.6±1.3 (range, 0-4) at the latest follow-up. As for the radiographic results, 19 patients had a mean neck-stem angle of 141.9°±9.8° (range, 132.17°-162.66°) on the first day after surgery, and a mean humeral head height of 18.0±5.9 mm (range, 7.45-27.12 mm). The mean neck-stem angle was 148.6°±7.5° (range, 132.70°-159.39°) and the mean humeral head height was 17.4± 5.5 mm (range, 5.02-27.31 mm) at the latest follow-up. The average change of neck-stem angle was 3.29° (range, 0.68°-33.10°), and mean change of humeral head height was 0.68 mm (range, 1.32-6.56 mm). No fractures developed greater or lesser tuberosity absorption or malunion, but 4 cases suffered loss of fixation and 1 developed primary intra-articular screw penetration as well as wound infection.Conclusion:In the open reduction and internal fixation of the proximal humeral fractures, the new locking plate can fix greater and lesser tuberosity fractures simultaneously, which helps reduce their displacement and deformity of tuberosities. By given that, satisfactory radiographic outcomes and shoulder functions can be obtained.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of evidence-based nursing in patients with cerebral apoplexy in ICU by blind bedside spiral nasointestinal tube application.Methods To choose between September 2016 and September 2017 in our hospital ICU were 140 cases of patients with cerebral apoplexy as analysis object,randomly divided into two groups,two groups all use bedside blind spiral nose long intestinal tube technology,the control group using conventional nursing method for nursing,observation group using evidence-based nursing intervention,compared two groups of a success rate of catheter,accident to take off the tube (unscheduled decannulation rate),reflux hiccups,vomiting incidence of aspiration and patient satisfaction.Results The success rate of catheterization in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the incidence of accidental catheterization was lower than that in the control group.The incidence of reflux hiccup and vomiting aspiration was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the patient satisfaction was higher than that in the control group (all P＜0.05).Conclusion For patients with cerebral apoplexy in the ICU bed of blind plug spiral nasal bowel technology combined evidence-based nursing intervention,clinical effect is remarkable,improve the success rate of catheter,reduces the surprise success rate of tube,unscheduled tube drawing number,reduces the incidence of reflux hiccups,vomiting aspiration,improve patient satisfaction and quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tigecycline-based treatment approach on severe infection of patients with hematological diseases. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients who were treated with tigecycline-based treatment approach for severe infection were retrospectively reviewed. The curative effect was evaluated, meanwhile the drug side effects were observed. Results A total of 51 strains of bacteria were isolated from 64 patients, including 12 extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)and 15 multi-drug resistant strains and the total effective rate was 59.4%(38/64). Five patients diagnosed as carbapenem resistant infection and were treated with the addition dose of tigecycline and 3 patients relieved. Main adverse events were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and hepatic dysfunction, but all events were slight. Conclusions Tigecycline-based treatment approach has a good clinical efficacy in treating severe infection of patients with hematological diseases, and the side effect is few.Tigecycline-based treatment approach could be used as a new choice for patients non-responding favorably to conventional anti-infective treatment or multiple resistant bacteria.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the application value of Doula delivery combined with delivery ball (vaginal birth after in cesarean, VBAC) in patients. Methods 80 cases of successful VBAC delivery in our hospital are randomly selected from January to September, 2017 as observation group, with patients who are given Doula delivery combined with delivery ball midwifery and continued monitoring of fetal heart rate; Another 80 cases of successful VBAC delivery in our hospital are randomly selected from January to December, 2016 as comparison group, with patients who are given free position delivery and continued monitoring of fetal heart rate. Results The incidence of gradeⅡpain in the two groups was 81.25% (65/80), which was higher than that of the control group (56.25% (45/80) ); The incidence of gradeⅢ pain was 16.25% (13/80), which was lower than that of the control group(37.50% (30/80) ). The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=11.64, 9.19, P<0.01). In the first stage of labor, the observation group was (290.02 ± 181.41) min, and the control group was (510.15 ± 91.22) min, and the 2 groups were statistically significant (t=-9.696, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the amount of bleeding, neonatal score and neonatal asphyxia rate at the second, third stage of labor (P>0.05). Conclusions Doula delivery combined with birthing midwifery can be used in the delivery of VBAC. It can relieve pain and shorten the first stage of labor, which is worthy of promotion.
