ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of Jiankuai psychosomatic active therapy in the elderly perioperative patients.Methods:From March 2018 to December 2019, 387 elderly patients in the urology department of the First People′s Hospital of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province were selected. According to the patients in two medical groups in the same ward, 193 patients in one medical group were divided into the experimental group and 194 patients in two medical groups as the control group. The experimental group was intervened by routine perioperative nursing combined with simple and fast psychosomatic active therapy, while the control group was only intervened by routine perioperative nursing. Self rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Rosenberg Self-confidence Scale and General Self-efficacy Scale (GSEs) were used as the evaluation indexes before and after the implementation of the two groups.Results:The SAS score of the experimental group was 31.13 ± 3.64 and that of the control group was 48.45 ± 7.72 on the 7th day after operation. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was 16.36, P < 0.05). The effective rate of self-confidence was 98.4% (190/193) and 94.8% (183/193) in the experimental group and 86.6% (168/194) and 85.1% (165/194) in the control group on the first day and the seventh day after operation, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z values were - 3.27 and 14.66, all P < 0.05). The GSEs score of the patients in the experimental group was 26.79 ± 2.17 and that of the control group was 16.86 ± 1.90. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was 10.19, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The application of Jiankuai psychosomatic active therapy can effectively reduce the tension and anxiety of the elderly patients during the perioperative period, increase their self-confidence and self-efficacy, effectively improve the communication efficiency between doctors and patients, and promote rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on cognitive dysfunction induced by tibial fracture in rats.@*METHODS@#Sixteen male SD rats were randomized into control group and tibial fracture group, and the behavior indicators were measured on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after tibial fracture and the expressions of CX3L1 protein and mRNA in the hippocampus were detected. Another 24 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, tibial fracture group, and tibia fracture with CX3CL1 antibody group, and the behavior indicators and hippocampal CX3L1 protein expression were evaluated after corresponding treatments. In another experiment, we randomized 24 male SD rats into control group, tibial fracture group and tibial fracture with Dex treatment, and tested their hippocampal CX3L1 protein and mRNA expressions as well as the behavior indicators after the treatments.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control rats, the rats with tibial fracture spent significantly less time in the novel arm on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after the fracture ( < 0.05) with obviously lowered expressions of CX3L1 protein and mRNA in the hippocampus ( < 0.05). In the rats with tibial fracture, treatment with CX3CL1 antibody further decreased the time spent in the novel arm ( < 0.05) and the expression level of CX3L1 protein in the hippocampus ( < 0.05); In contrast, treatment with Dex significantly increased the time spent time in the novel arm ( < 0.05) and enhanced the hippocampal expressions of CX3L1 protein and mRNA in rats with tibial fractures ( < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Dex can alleviate cognitive dysfunction induced by tibial fracture in rats by increasing the expression of CX3CL1 in the hippocampus.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound-measured inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter in assessment of the preoperative blood volume in elderly patients.Methods Sixty patients,aged 60-75 yr,with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2,of ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective transurethral resection of prostate,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =20 each):control group (group C),lactated Ringer's solution group (group RL),and hydroxyethyl starch group (group H).Lactated Ringer's solution 8 ml/kg was infused intravenously in group RL.Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 8 ml/kg was infused intravenously in group H.SpO2,mean arterial pressure (MAP),HR and central venous pressure (CVP) were monitored before and after fluid therapy.The IVC diameters,both during expiration (IVCe) and inspiration (IVCi),were measured using ultrasound.IVC collapsibility index (IVC-CI) was calculated.Results The IVCeand IVCi were significantly increased,and IVC-CI was decreased after fluid therapy as compared with those before fluid therapy in RL and H groups.Compared with group C,the IVCe and IVCi were significantly increased,and IVC-CI was decreased after fluid therapy in RL and H groups.IVCe and IVCi were positively correlatedwith CVP (r=0.746 and 0.697,respectively).IVC-CI was negatively correlated with CVP (r =-0.547).Conclusion Ultrasoundmeasured IVC diameter provides better accuracy in assessing the preoperative blood volume in elderly patients.
