ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study explores the application of gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence in postoperative oral cancer patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>This trial includes 66 patients treated in the West China Hospital of Stomatology from August 2014 to December 2014. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: the test group included 33 patients who underwent gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence; the 33 other patients, who served as control group, underwent regular gastric tube interposition. The two groups were compared in terms of the occurrence rate of bucking, success rate of one-time gastric tube placement, and interposition time.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with those in the control group, the occurrence rate of bucking and the interposition time in the test group decreased while the success rate of one-time gastric tube placement increased (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence can improve the success rate of one-time gastric tube interposition; moreover, it can reduce the average interposition time and the pain experienced by patients.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the nursing methods and its effect in mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar extraction with reversal high-speed air turbine.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>60 patients with mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar were selected in this study, who were treated in Department of Senior Dentists, West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University, between June to December 2010. They were randomly and equally divided into control group and experimental group (n=30). The former was treated with tradition chisel splint method while the latter was treated with reversal high-speed air turbine extraction and provided appropriate nursing interventions. Postoperative reactions and wound healing status were evaluated through consultation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were significant differences between control group and experimental group in terms of postoperative bleeding wound, swelling, dry socket and so on (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Mandibular mesioangular impacted third molar extraction with reversal high-speed air turbine is effective, and the corresponding nursing measure is worthy further promotion.</p>

Objective To discuss the effect of music therapy on anxiety control of patients with maxillofacial cancer.Methods 140 cases in head and neck surgery department were divided into the test group and the control group with 70 cases in each group from March 2004 to November 2005.The test group received music intervention based on routine nursing.The degree of anxiety was evaluated on the first day of hospitalization(T1),the previous day before the operation(T2),the first day after operation(T3)and the third day after operation after listening to music.The control group only received routine nursing.The condition of anxiety at different time points was evaluated and compared.Results The scores of anxiety(SAS)in the two groups were statistically different(P＜0.05).The intra-group comparison of anxiety degree in the test group(T1-T2,T1-T3,T1-T4)had statistical difference(P＜0.05).The intra-group comparison of anxiety degree in the control group(T1-T2,T1-T3)had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).While evident difference existed in T1-T4 in the control group.P＜0.05.Conclusion Music intervention facilitated the rehabilitation of anxiety condition in cancer patients.
