ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the value of nursing checklist in posterior surgery for thoracolumbar fracture with general anesthesia under prone position.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 106 patients with thoracolumbar fracture admitted to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2018 to May 2020. There were 80 males and 26 females,with age range of 25-57 years[(48.6 ± 11.9)years]. Segments of injury were located at T 11 in 18 patients,at T 12 in 26,at L 1 in 21,at L 2 in 25 and at L 3 in 16. All patients were treated with thoracolumbar posterior screw fixation under general anesthesia. Of all,51 patients received conventional postural nursing from June 2018 to May 2019(control group),and 55 patients received prone position nursing scheme for general anesthesia on the basis of conventional postural nursing from June 2019 to May 2020(verification group). The incidence of postoperative complications including stress injury,brachial plexus injury,ulnar nerve injury and ocular discomfort as well as length of hospital stay and patients’ satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Visual analogue scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)were also used to measures outcome at postoperative 3 months. Results:All patients were followed up for 8-12 months[(10.5±0.9)months]. Verification group and control group showed significant differences in the incidence of stress injury(4%∶29%),brachial plexus injury(4%∶16%)and ocular discomfort consisiting of tears(2%∶12%),foreign body sensation(0%∶4%)and dryness(4%∶16%)( P < 0.05),not in ulnar nerve injury and blurred vision. Length of hospitalization in verification group was(7.0±1.3)days,significantly shorter than that in control group[(9.9±1.9)days]( P < 0.05). Satisfaction of patients in verification group and control group was 85%(47/55)and 69%(35/51),respectively( P < 0.05). At 3 months postoperatively,VAS in verification group[(1.9 ± 0.8)points]was significantly lower than that in control group[(3.5±1.1)points]( P < 0.05),and ODI was similar between the two groups( P > 0.05). Conclusions For patients with thoracolumbar fracture treated by posterior surgery with general anaesthesia under prone position,nursing checklist helps reduce occurrence of the related complication,shorten length of hospital stay,improve patient satisfaction,reduce postoperative pain and promote rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a hypoxic-ischemic brain damage caused by perinatal asphyxia and hypoxia, causes varying degrees of neurological sequelae. Animal studies have shown that there are significant gender differences in key pathophysiological processes such as inflammatory response, oxidative stress and cell death pathway after hypoxic-ischemic injury. The therapeutic effect of mild hypothermia, erythropoietin, brain-derived nutritional factor and allopurinol on female animals was also significantly better than males. Clinical studies have found that male patients are more likely to have a more serious condition and worse prognosis. Potentially, gender-based management may provide better neuroprotection in perinatal brain injury. This article reviews the current evidence for the gender difference in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and to shed light on current clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the impact factors of surgical site infection(SSI) in the department of general surgery,the improve the quality of the target of monitoring,provide clinical theoretical basis for reducing the incidence of SSI.Methods In 2015,920 patients who underwent general surgery was took in the targeted monitoring of SSI.SPSS19.0 software was used to analyzing the data.Results The infection rate was 4.35%;Surgical site infection rate was rising,with the increase of NNIS.17 pathogens were isolated,including 11 Escherichia colis which was the most.The incidence of the SSI was 2.40% between two groups in the patients who underwent the elective surgeries 10.85%,in the patients who underwent emergency surgery.there was significant difference between two groups(x2 =27.997,P<0.05).The type Ⅱ surgical incision was smain type in the department of general surgery,the incidence of the typeⅡ surgical incision was 2.27%,the incidence of the typeⅢ surgical incision was 21.90%,no SSI occurred in the type Ⅰ surgical incision;SSI incidence of surgery time which was more than 3 h was 7.27%,less than 3 h was 3.71 %,there was significant difference between two groups(x2 =4.136,P<0.05);the SSI incidence of the incision length ≥10 cm was 13.11 %,less than 10 cm was 1.82%,the difference was statistically significant (x2=48.966,P<0.05).Conclusion NNIS score,wound type,type of surgery,duration of surgery may become the risk factors SSI.
ABSTRACT
Cancer cells can change metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and glutamine metabolism, and produce the raw materials needed for rapid proliferation and survival. Therefore, research on metabolic pathways of cancer cells might help find the targets of cancer therapy. In this review, we outlined the metabolic features of aerobic glycolysis, glutamine metabolism and (tricarboxylic acid) TCA cycle in cancer. We also described metabolic targets for cancer therapy and therapeutic agents for the corresponding targets in these metabolic pathways, and finally discussed some of the challenges related to tumor metabolism as a therapeutic target in cancer therapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of positive experience intervention on anxiety, depression and quality of life among rural empty nesters. Methods A total of 115 rural empty nesters were divided into the intervention group (n=58) and the control group (n=57). Both groups received routine community activities. In addition, participants in the intervention group received positive experience intervention. Geriatric Depression Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and 12-item Short-Form Health Survey were adopted to measure the related items before and after the intervention. Results The intervention group showed a significant decrease in anxiety (1.54±0.07) and depression (7.28±3.82), compared with the control group (1.64±0.09, 11.81±6.38), the difference was significant (t=-5.960,-4.613, P<0.01). The Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) was 47.01±6.47 and 52.13±6.22 in the intervention group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (41.37±8.71, 48.71±6.13), the differences were significant (t=3.937, 2.970, P < 0.01). Conclusions Positive experience intervention can decrease anxiety and depression, and improve quality of life of rural empty nesters.
