ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of Mediterranean diet on blood glucose control and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:As to December 2021, the PubMed, Cochrance Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrance Database, Cochranc Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Medical Network system were searched for clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of Mediterranean diet in patients with type 2 diabetes to conduct Meta-analysis The main observation index were cardiovascular risk factors, and the mean difference and its 95% confidence interval were used to estimate the effect size.Results:There were six RCTs, and 1181 patients met the inclusion criteria and entered the Meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, the intervention group can significantly reduce the level of systolic blood pressure ( MD=-1.20, 95% CI-2.21 to -0.19) and diastolic blood pressure ( MD=-4.17, 95% CI-7.12 to -1.22) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but there were no significant difference in the level of TC ( MD=2.92, 95% CI-0.84 to-6.67), HDL ( MD=2.33, 95% CI-0.27 to -4.92) and LDL ( MD=-2.34, 95% CI-5.67 to -0.99) between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The meta-analysis provided evidence the Mediterranean diet showed the beneficial improvements in blood pressure glycemic control, but the effect of Mediterranean diet on lipid profile was not significant, which needed further verification.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the best preventive measures for hypothermia in patients undergoing hip and knee replacement.Methods:Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Chinese biomedical literature database were searched by computer. Randomized controlled trials on hypothermia prevention measures in hip and knee arthroplasty were searched, and back into the literature references, the retrieval time is from database establishment to December 2019; the two researchers independently conducted literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction according to the inclusion exclusion criteria, and used Revman5.3 software for meta-analysis of the included literature.Results:A total of 608 patients were included in 11 literatures. The results of Meta-analysis showed that: in terms of core temperature, the main outcome index, the Forced-air Warming System was superior to the non-Forced-air Warming measure such as electric blanket, electric heating pad and circulating water mattress ( SMD=0.59, 95% CI 0.27-0.92, P=0.0004); in terms of secondary outcome indexes, the Forced-air Warming System was better than the non-Forced-air Warming measure such as electric blanket, electric heating pad and circulating water mattress ( OR=0.28, 95% CI 0.14-0.58, P=0.0006); in terms of thermal comfort, the Forced-air Warming System had no significant effect ( SMD = 0.21, 95% CI-0.56-0.98, P=0.59). Conclusion:Compared with the Forced-air Warming System, the non-Forced-air Warming measure can effectively maintain the core temperature of patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty, reduce the occurrence of postoperative chills, but in the aspect of improve thermal comfort of patients is not obvious. However, due to the number of studies and their statistical heterogeneity, large sample and high-quality studies are needed to verify the results of this study.

ABSTRACT
In the early 20th century,the term Nursing was introduced into China.In 1884,with the arrival of the first batch of missionary nurse,modern nursing initiated by Nightingale was introduced into China and greatly changed the way of care.The missionary nurses were full of enthusiasm for the spreading Gospel of Christ,the love for nursing care and the empathy for Chinese people;and encountered the lack of staff and material,the mis-understanding and resistance from the local people and other multiple tests.With the untiring effort of them and the trained local nurses,China had led the international care in nursing education and practice standard.Based on this,nursing in Shandong gradually rose and had an unprecedented development as a new medical subject.By clearing up and consulting Chinese and English historical materials,this paper reviewed the 60 years of the mission-ary nurses in China,saw the early development of nursing in our country from the budding and development of Shandong nursing and provided more insights for understanding and solving the complex problems contemporary Chinese nursing faces.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of integrated service platform of extensional care based on the combined internet and extensional care model in the orthopedics nurse care. Methods Two hundred and eighty six hospitalized patients in the orthopedic department were randomly divided into two groups including experimental group (144 cases) and control group (142 cases) according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group received extensional care by traditional telephone follow-up, patients in the experimental group received extensional care by using the integrated service platform combing internet and extensional care. All the patients were evaluated using the self-made extensional care satisfaction questionnaire and Short Form 36 Questionnaire. Results The extensional care satisfaction scores of experimental group using internet plus extended care mode were respectively ( 74.4 ± 5.3) points and (76.2 ± 8.1) points at the time points of 3 months and 6 months after discharge from hospital;The extensional care satisfaction scores of control group were respectively (69.4±9.9) points and (70.1±12.2) points at the time points of 3 months and 6 months after discharge from hospital;The two groups had statistically comparative difference (t=7.40, 6.37, P<0.01). There was a statistically significant improvement of extensional care satisfaction and physical function score and role-physical score and social function score in the experimental group compared with the control group both at the time points of 3 months and 6 months after discharge from hospital. There was a statistically significant improvement of vitality score and role-emotion score in the experimental group compared with the control group both at the time points of 1 month and 3 months after discharge from hospital (t=2.366-8.211, P<0.05). Conclusions The effect of integrated service platform of extensional care based on the combined internet and extensional care model is better than traditional telephone follow-up, patients′satisfaction is higher. This new mode of service platform could greatly deepen the connotation of quality nursing, intensify the effect of extensional care, and reduce the working strength of nurse who did extensional care as while.
