The effect of ERAS on VAS score and serum immunoglobulin in children undergoing low-temperature plasma radiofrequency tonsillectomy / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To explore the effects of accelerated rehabilitation surgery (ERAS) on visual analogue scale (VAS) and serum immunoglobulin in children undergoing low-temperature plasma radiofrequency tonsillectomy.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 200 children who underwent bilateral tonsillectomy with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency from January 2022 to April 2023 at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of South China University of Technology. They were randomly divided into an observation group ( n=100) and a control group ( n=100) using a random number table method. The control group received traditional perioperative treatment, while the observation group received perioperative treatment under ERAS mode. We compared the postoperative conditions, pain VAS at different time points, and incidence of complications between two groups, as well as serum immunoglobulins and inflammatory markers before and 2 days after surgery. Results:The observation group had shorter postoperative pseudo film detachment time time, white membrane formation time, dietary recovery time, and hospital stay than the control group (all P<0.05); The VAS of the observation group was lower than that of the control group at different time points after surgery (all P<0.05); Two days after surgery, the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in both groups decreased, with the observation group showing a smaller decrease than the control group (all P<0.05); Two days after surgery, the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) significantly increased in both groups, with the observation group showing a lower increase than the control group (all P<0.05); The total incidence of complications in the observation group was 5.00%(5/100), significantly lower than the control group′s 13.00%(13/100, P<0.05). Conclusions:After undergoing ERAS intervention during the perioperative period, children undergoing low-temperature plasma tonsillectomy can accelerate their recovery process, shorten hospital stay, reduce pain VAS and inflammatory indicators, and reduce the impact on their serum immunoglobulin levels.

The application effect of anesthesia management based on cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring in elderly NSCLC radical surgery and its impact on cognitive function / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To explore the application effect of anesthesia management based on cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring in elderly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) radical surgery and its impact on patient cognitive function.Methods:Ninety elderly NSCLC patients who were treated at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of South China University of Technology from June 2022 to January 2023 were selected. The patients were divided into an observation group ( n=45) and a control group ( n=45) using the envelope method. Both groups underwent radical lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia, while the control group received routine anesthesia management and the observation group received anesthesia management based on cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring. The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, anesthesia time, remifentanil dosage, and propofol dosage were observed in two groups. At the same time, differences in serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and other levels were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, anesthesia time, and remifentanil dosage between the two groups (all P>0.05); The dosage of propofol in the observation group was (880.41±41.06)mg, significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 5 minutes (T 1) and 30 minutes (T 2) after anesthesia (all P<0.05); The local cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2) and bispectral index (BIS) of the observation group at T 1, T 2, and postoperative (T 3) were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The serum levels of IL-6, CRP, PCT, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and S-100b in the observation group at 24 hours postoperatively were (13.36±1.22)mg/L, (10.08±1.12)ng/L, (0.94±0.15)ng/ml, (11.15±1.26)ng/L, and (1 445.15±180.05)ng/L, respectively, significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The MMSE score of the observation group at 24 hours post surgery was (25.78±1.02), significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative cognitive impairment in the observation group and the control group was 4.44%(2/45) and 8.89%(4/45), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.673). Conclusions:Anesthesia management based on cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring has a good application effect in elderly NSCLC radical surgery, with small fluctuations in patient hemodynamic indicators, which can inhibit inflammatory factor levels and have a mild impact on postoperative cognitive function.

OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics and intervention measures of nosocomial infection in ICU.METHODS Retrospective investigation was used to analyze the nosocomial infection cases in 145 patients discharged from ICU.RESULTS Of 145 inpatients,35 developed nosocomial infection with an infection rate of 24.14%.Elderly patients with severe diseases were the high risk group.The causes of infection were related to the increase of traumatic operation,hypoimmumity and unreasonable antibiotics usage.Lacking awareness of cross infection in medical and nursing staff was another factor facilitating the occurrence of infection.CONCLUSIONS Nosocomial infection rate in patients in ICU is high.Close attention should be paid to the old patients.Nursing intervention of respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract should be given to the patients with severe diseases.The illegal use of antibiotics and traumatic operation should be limited.

INVESTIGATION ON THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE 0～6 YEARS OLD CHILDREN OF DIFFER ENT NATIONALITIES / 营养学报

Objective: To investigate the childrens congenital and acquired nutritional status and the physical development among the different nationalities in Guizhou province; to find out the factors that greatly influence the childrens physical development. Methods: Investigations were carried out on the diet, height and the weight of the mothers during the early and late stage of their pregnancy and after the delivery of the babies. Results: The living conditions in the groups of Miao and Buyi were very poor. For the pregnant women among Han, Miao and Buyi groups, during their middle and late stage of the pregnancy, the intakes of protein, calcium and VB 2 did not reach 80% RDA. For the 2-4 years old children, the intake of protein was below 80% RDA. For those in Miao and Buyi groups, the chief source of protein was from cereals. There was a great insufficient intake of calcium and VB 2 in different age groups of the children mentioned above. With the increase of age, the infants of Buyi and Miao groups were gradually diverting from the standard criterion from 3rd or 4th month. The greatest difference was in Miao group, i.e. at the age of 6, the difference in height was 9.8 cm(male), 8.3 cm(female); the difference in weight was 1.64 kg(male), 1.92 kg(female). Conclusion: The physical development of the infants in Buyi and Miao groups is inferior to those in Han group. Besides the environmental influence, the quality and quantity of the protein in diet play an important role in physical development.
