ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo find the type of dietary structure that can effectively prevent or improve postprandial sleepiness in the Chinese population, and provide scientific basis and solutions for improving or avoiding postprandial sleepiness. MethodsIn this study, a six-day dietary intervention trial was conducted for 20 volunteers on four different diets (normal diet, high-fat diet, high-carbohydrate diet and healthy diet). ResultsThe results showed that sleepiness increased after all four types of meals, but decreased after 30 minutes in the healthy balanced diet group; meanwhile, it increased for 60 minutes before it declined in the high-carbohydrate, high-fat, and normal diet (control) group. At 60 minutes after meal, the drowsiness of the healthy balanced diet group was the weakest, and that of the high carbohydrate diet groups was the strongest, while that of the normal diet group and the high fat diet group was intermediate (P<0.000 1). Postprandial sleepiness was positively correlated with intake of carbohydrate and manganese, and negatively correlated with intake of protein, some mineral elements and vitamins. ConclusionThese results suggest that controlling carbohydrate and fat intake and appropriately increasing the intake of mineral elements and vitamins in a healthy and balanced diet can significantly improve and prevent postprandial sleepiness.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate current status of hospital infection management in psychiatric hospitals in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, so as to provide references for improving the level of hospital infection management of psychiatric hospitals. MethodsIn December 2020, on-site supervision was conducted on hospital infection management in all 9 psychiatric hospitals in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, meantime, the self-compiled questionnaire on hospital infection management status was used for investigation. ResultsAmong the selected hospitals, nine (100.00%) psychiatric hospitals had the main hospital leaders in charge of hospital infection management, five (55.56%) hospitals had established a hospital infection management committee, six (66.67%) hospitals had established an independent hospital infection management department, and one (11.11%) hospital had developed all 13 systems mentioned in the questionnaire related to hospital infection management and job responsibilities. In terms of hospital infection management staff, there were 23 staff members in the nine psychiatric hospitals, including 3 in the specialty (13.04%) and 20 in the part-time setting (86.96%). The score of the implementation of the basic system of hospital infection management in nine hospitals was (3.28±2.22). ConclusionThe system specification related to hospital infection management in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region psychiatric hospitals needs to be improved and further strengthened, the professionalism of hospital infection management personnel needs to be improved.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Omaha system intervention on social psychology of the elderly,and to provide evidence for effective intervention in elderly with homebound state.Methods 218 cases with homebound conditions were divided into intervention group and control group by random digits table with each group 109 cases.The intervention group accepted intervention including health education,treatment procedures,case management,supervision of the four aspects of 1-3 times a week according to Omaha intervention system for a period of 3 months.The control group was the blank control.And Omaha evaluation form was used to evaluate social psychological and physical effect before and after the intervention.Results 3 months after the intervention,except physiology in the field of neuromusculo-skeletal function of two groups had no significant difference (t=2.03,P>0.05),scores in the intervention group in the field of physiology (like the circulation) were higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant [(1 1.20±2.03) vs.(8.72±1.36),P<0.05].As for psychology (like mental health),scores of intervention group were higher than that of the control group [(12.53±1.42) vs.(8.63±1.33),t=20.12,P< 0.05].Conclusions Omaha system can effectively improve the quality of life of elderly with homebound state and maintain their physiological,social and psychological function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze and compare the differences in application of 24-hour dietary recall and dietary balance index (DBI) in dietary survey and evaluation of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,meanwhile investigate their nutrition status.Method This was a cross-sectional study.A total of 100 type 2 diabetes inpatients at the age of 19-59 were recruited from Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from December 2013 to February 2014.They were surveyed and evaluated by 24-hour dietary recall and DBI respectively.Result The micronutrient intake in patients with type 2 diabetes was not sufficient.Compared with RNI,the intake of vitamin B1,B2,and calcium was less than 50%.The average of DBI lower bound score (DBI-LBS) of the 100 patients was 32.1±6.1,65%; the patients were in moderate or severe deficit of food intake.DBI higher bound score (DBI-HBS) was 4.4±2.8.No significant excess intake problem was found.Dietary quality distance was 36.4±6.9.Eighty-seven percent of them had a dietary patterns of mode B.Conclusion Dietary patterns in type 2 diabetes patients were not reasonable.Nutrition education and nutrition intervention for type 2 diabetes should be emphasized.The two methods can be used to evaluate dietary quality independently,but it would be better to evaluate the quality of the patients' diet using two dietary survey methods together.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the status of vitamin A and the level of AntiHBs in infants.Methods One hundred and ninty eight infants met the criteria were recruited into an investigation through local vaccination service.Two milliter venous blood was drawn from each studied child,and the infants' feeding information of successive 72 hours was collected through the 24-hour dietary recall method and 2-day diet records method.The nutrients intakes were analyzed with a NCCW software for calculation.The concentration of serum vitamin A and Anti-HBs was analyzed by HPLC and ECLIA,respectively.The logarithm of anti-HBs concentrations was compared among sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency (87 cases ),suspicious subclinical vitamin A deficient group (51 cases )and normal group (60 cases )and the relationship between the logarithm of anti-HBs concentrations and vitamin A were analyzed.ResultsThere were only 19.7% of children whose average daily intake of vitamin A reached the 80% of recommended nutrient intakes(RNI).The incidence rate of vitamin A malnutrition was 67.2%.The serum Anti-HBs GMC was 402.8 U/L The positive rate was 98.0%.There were significant differences on Anti-HBs Ig GMC between Sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency (SVAD) group,suspicious SVAD group and normal group( F =15.88,P < 0.001 ).The correlation coefficient between the level of serum vitamin A and Anti-HBs lg GMC was 0.441 ( P =0.01 ).ConclusionThe results show that the level of serum vitamin A may have influence on the maintenance of an effective anti-HBs level against hepatitis B virus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of enteral nutrition (EN) for diabetes mellitus on the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients with hyperglycemia.Methods Sixty-four critically il1 patients with hyperglycemia were randomly divided into the control group and intervention group.The control group was given homemade homogenized meals and the study group was given EN for diabetes mellitus.Both were given the same total energy and nitrogen content.EN was applied 3 days after ICU admission and then lasted 14 days.Blood glucose was controled at 6.1-8.5 mmol/L by insulin therapy.No albumin,blood plasma,or parenteral nutrition was provided to all patients.The lactulose mannitol ratio,biochemical indicators,total insulin dosage,and short-term and longterm outcomes were analyzed before and after EN support.The quality of life was evaluated using Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale.Results Finally 59 patients were enrolled in the study,with 30 in the intervention group and 29 in the control group.The lactulose mannitol ratios in the intervenion group were significantly lower than those in the control group 7 days (0.221 ±0.117 vs.0.299 ±0.154,t =-2.199,P =0.032) and 14 days (0.169 ±0.122 vs.0.305 ±0.129,t =-4.191,P =0.000) after EN support.Meanwhile,the total insulin dosages were also significantly less in the intervention group [7 days,(195 ± 54) vs.(227 ± 60) U ; t =-2.096,P =0.041 ;14 days,(392 ±114) vs.(459 ±118) U; t =-2.221,P =0.030].Compared with the control group,the intervention group had significantly shorter duration of mechanical ventilation [(8.00 ± 1.75) d vs.(6.73 ±2.05) d,t=-2.547,P=0.014] and ICU stay[(10.00±1.95) vs.(8.80±2.17) d,t=-2.233,P=0.030],lower total hospitalization expenses [(56 238.39 ± 17 869.61) vs.(70 395.63 ±20 111.69) Yuan,t =-2.861,P =0.006],and faster recovery of daily activities [(17.59 ± 3.21) vs.(35.34 ± 8.65) scores,t =10.030,P =0.000] and living quality of life [(22.67 ± 4.51) vs.(40.55 ± 8.88) scores,t =9.397,P =0.000] after 90 days of treatment.Conclusion The EN for diabetes mellitus may improve the outcomes of critically ill patients with hyperglycemia compared with blend diet.
