Pelvic Floor Functional Exercise Improves Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms after Uterine Fibroid Surgery.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to determine the effect of pelvic floor function exercise on the improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with uterine fibroid surgery. METHODS: The clinical data of 188 patients who underwent uterine fibroid surgery in our hospital from February 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analysed. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the nursing methods recorded in the data. The observation group received targeted nursing combined with pelvic floor function exercise based on routine intervention. General demographic data, disease and surgery-related characteristics of the patients were collected. Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline data of the two groups. Lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic floor function, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life were compared between the two groups after matching. RESULTS: A total of 130 patients were included in the two groups, and their baseline data were not statistically significant. At 3 months after the operation, the total incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms in the observation group (10.77%) was lower than that in the control group (30.77%, p < 0.05). Before the intervention, the pelvic floor function, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life scores of the two groups were basically the same (p > 0.05). At 3 months after the operation, the pelvic floor function score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, but the pelvic floor muscle strength index and quality of life score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Targeted nursing combined with pelvic floor function exercise for patients with uterine fibroids surgery can prevent the occurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms and improve the pelvic floor function, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life of patients and is thus worthy of promotion.

Effect of Pelvic Floor Function Exercises Based on the ERAS Concept on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms after Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyse the effect of pelvic floor function exercises based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept on lower urinary tract symptoms after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. METHODS: The retrospective study was conducted using clinical data of patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 and underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. In accordance with the nursing method, the patients were divided into the routine group (conventional care) and the ERAS pelvic floor function exercise group, for which ERAS concept-based pelvic floor function exercises were carried out on the basis of the former group. The confounders between the two groups were matched by propensity score, and the scores of urination, pelvic floor muscle strength, lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life (QoL) were compared between the two groups after matching. RESULTS: A total of 180 patients were included in the study, of whom 60 patients were identified after propensity score matching, consisting of 30 patients each in the ERAS and routine groups. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were balanced, and the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Compared with the routine group, the observation group showed significantly shorter first spontaneous urination time, greater first urination volume (p < 0.05), better pelvic floor muscle strength, considerably lower urinary tract symptoms and better QoL at discharge and 3 months after discharge (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic floor function exercises based on the ERAS concept can relieve lower urinary tract symptoms, accelerate urination and improve pelvic floor muscle strength and QoL after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer.

Effect of perioperative airway management on postoperative outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND: It is common for colorectal cancer patients to have sarcopenia as a comorbidity, which has been shown to have a negative impact on prognosis after surgery. This study explored whether implementing a novel care program could improve postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer patients with sarcopenia. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients diagnosed with sarcopenia before undergoing radical colorectal cancer surgery. We divided the patients into two groups according to the time point of program implementation and, compared the clinical characteristics and postoperative outcomes of these two groups. RESULTS: A total of 227 patients were included in the study. The baseline clinical characteristics of the two groups were similar. Compared with the control group, patients in the implementation group had a significantly lower rate of total complications (18.5% vs. 30.3%, P = 0.041), a significantly lower rate of pulmonary complications (2.8% vs. 10.9%, P = 0.017), and a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay (12 days vs. 14 days, P = 0.001). Implementation of perioperative airway management (P = 0.018) was shown to be a protective factor against pulmonary complications in colorectal cancer patients with sarcopenia. CONCLUSION: The perioperative airway management program implemented at our center was easy to perform and can effectively improve short-term postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer patients with sarcopenia.

Outcome-oriented integrated zero-defect nursing combined with respiratory functional exercise in the perioperative period of patients with heart bypass.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the perioperative application of outcome-oriented integrated zero-defect nursing combined with respirational function exercise in patients undergoing cardiac bypass grafting. METHODS: In this retrospective study, the clinical data of 90 patients with bypass surgery in the General Ward of Cardiac Surgery, Beijing Anzhen Hospital Capital Medical University were collected. The patients were assigned into groups A (n=30), B (n=30), and C (n=30) according to different nursing methods. Group A received outcome-oriented integrated zero-defect nursing in combination with respiratory functional exercise administration, group B received outcome-oriented integrated zero-defect nursing, and group C received routine nursing. The postoperative recovery was detected. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVSD), and interventricular septal thickness (IVST) were assessed among the three groups pre- and post-intervention. The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and blood gas indices were measured before operation and three days after extubation. The occurrence of complications was compared. The quality of life among groups pre- and post-administration was evaluated by the Generic Quality of Life Inventory (GQOLI-74). RESULTS: The length of hospital stay, first exhaust time, first excretion interval, and intestine sound improvement time in groups A and B were markedly decreased compared with those in group C, and these markers in group A were markedly decreased compared with those in group B (all P<0.05). After the intervention, the levels of LVEF, LVDD, LVSD, IVST and FVC in group A were more improved compared with those in groups B and C, and the levels of FEV1, PaO2 and PaCO2 were more improved compared to those in group C (all P<0.05). The incidences of hypotension, subcutaneous hyperemia, pericardial tamponade, short-burst ventricular tachycardia, subacute stent thrombosis and pulmonary complications in group A and group B (13.33%, 23.33%) were significantly lower than those in group C (50.00%) (all P<0.05). After the intervention, the results of social function, physical, psychological function, and material lifecycle status in group A and B were significantly enhanced compared with those in group C, and the indicators in group A were appreciably better compared with those in group B (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Outcome-oriented zero-defect integrated nursing in combination with respirational function exercise can efficiently promote the postoperative revival of patients undergoing heart bypass operation, improve their cardiopulmonary function, diminish the occurrence of complications, and improve their life quality.

Efficacy of systematic voice training combined with swallowing function exercises for the prevention of swallowing dysfunction in stroke patients: a retrospective study.

Background: Stroke is a common clinical brain disease, and swallowing dysfunction is one of the most common complications in stroke patients. Despite multiple treatments for swallowing dysfunction, it often leads to a series of complications. Interventions such as systematic voice training and swallowing function exercises have emerged in recent years, but their effectiveness remains unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of systematic voice training combined with swallowing function exercise for the prevention of swallowing dysfunction and improving the quality of life of stroke patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 90 stroke patients admitted to Baotou Central Hospital from October 2018 to October 2021 as study subjects, and divided the patients into a combined voice training group (n=45) and a single swallowing exercise group (n=45) according to the interventions. The single swallowing exercise group received routine swallowing function exercise, and the combined voice training group used systematic voice training combined with swallowing function exercise. The incidence of swallowing dysfunction, malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia, and exercise compliance rate were compared between the two groups, and the quality of life of the two groups was evaluated by the Generic Quality of Life Inventory 74 (GQOLI-74) before and after the interventions, respectively. Results: The incidence of swallowing dysfunction, aspiration pneumonia, and malnutrition were lower in the combined voice training group than in the single swallowing exercise group (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the exercise compliance rate between the two groups. The combined voice training group had higher psychological dimensions, physical dimensions, social adaptation, and total quality of life scores than the single swallowing exercise group (all P<0.05). Compared with the conventional intervention group, the combined voice training group had higher patient satisfaction (P<0.05). Conclusions: Systematic voice training combined with swallowing function exercise can effectively prevent the occurrence of swallowing dysfunction and improve the quality of life of patients with stroke.

Objective:Health education program based on information-motivation-behavioral skills model (IMB model) was developed, and its application effect in functional exercise after autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in hemodialysis patients was explored.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 100 patients undergoing AVF surgery in hemodialysis center of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the study objects. The patients were numbered according to the order of visit. The single number was the observation group, and the double number was the control group. There were 50 patients in each group. The control group was given routine AVF function exercise education, and the observation group was given AVF function exercise education based on the IMB model. Patients′ compliance with functional exercise, cephalic vein diameter, fistula maturation time, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:Finally, 49 cases in the control group and 50 cases in the observation group finished the research. The compliance of function exercise of the observation group was 94.0%(47/50), which was higher than 73.5%(36/49) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.70, P<0.05). The maturation time of plasty in the observation group was (5.18 ± 1.14) weeks, shorter than that in the control group (5.94 ± 1.39) weeks, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.98, P<0.05). The cephalic vein diameter and blood flow controlled by hemodialysis pump in the observation group were (5.19 ± 0.28) mm and (218.40 ± 24.19) ml/min, respectively, higher than those in the control group (4.99 ± 0.34) mm and (200.41 ± 23.89) ml/min, the differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.21, -3.72, both P<0.05). The incidence of fistula complications in the observation group was 6.0%(3/50), lower than 22.4%(11/49) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.52, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of IMB model in hemodialysis patients with functional exercise after AVF plasty can effectively improve patients′ compliance, increase the diameter of cephalic vein and the blood flow controlled by dialysis pump, shorten the maturation time of internal fistula, and reduce the incidence of complications of AVF.

Efficacy of CPET Combined with Systematic Education of Cardiac Rehabilitation After PCI: A Real-World Evaluation in ACS Patients.

INTRODUCTION: There are scarce real-world data on the long-term efficacy and safety of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) combined with the systematic education of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) approach for patients post-coronary stenting, which is, therefore, the subject of this study. METHODS: Data collected between 1 April 2015 and 20 May 2017 from 11,345 patients in the rehabilitation center database at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Five hundred thirty-six patients with incomplete information, or unable to cooperate with telephone follow-up, were excluded; 4001 patients received the combined CR approach; and 6808 patients received only routine post-procedure education (controls). Of these, 2805 CR participants (CR group) were matched 1:1 to controls (control group) using propensity scores. The main outcome was quality of life in Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores. SAQ was measured in hospital and at follow-up; meanwhile, volume/type of habitual exercise, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), and its components of target vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: At median 583 (range 184-963) day follow-up, compared with controls, the CR group showed fewer patients not engaging in physical exercise (22 vs. 956, p < 0.05); more cumulative exercise time (h/week) (8.22 ± 6.17 h vs. 3.00 ± 1.65 h, p < 0.05); higher SAQ scores (physical limitation, 69.59 ± 10.96 vs. 57.49 ± 7.19; anginal stability, 80.50 ± 18.21 vs. 58.82 ± 11.95; anginal frequency, 78.58 ± 11.07 vs. 67.14 ± 22.41; treatment satisfaction, 82.33 ± 13.21 vs. 56.84 ± 21.61; quality of life, 68.69 ± 18.33 vs. 60.26 ± 17.13, all p < 0.01), but a similar MACE rate (log-rank p = 0.621). CONCLUSION: Compared with only routine post-procedure education, CR combining at least one-time CPET with a systematic cardiac education program before discharge improved engagement in physical activity and quality of life for patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without increasing clinical adverse events.

The effect of evidence-based nursing program of progressive functional exercise of affected limbs on patients with breast cancer-related lymphoedema.

OBJECTIVE: This study explored and analyzed the effect of evidence-based nursing program of progressive exercise on patients with breast cancer-related lymphoedema. METHODS: 78 breast cancer patients who underwent breast cancer surgery in our hospital from January to December 2018 were chosen as the control group, and 83 patients enrolled from January to December 2019 with the same condition were selected as the observation group. The control group was given routine nursing measures after surgery, while the observation group was given the evidence-based nursing (EBN) program of progressive functional exercise on affected limbs after breast cancer surgery. The postoperative lymphedema, function recovery of upper limb, score of quality life and the satisfaction of patients to nursing were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The degree of lymphedema in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group 4 weeks after surgery (P<0.05). The limb lifting function, abduction function and rotatory function of the observation group were significantly superior to those of the control group (P<0.05). The scores of physiological status, emotional status, functional status and additional concerns in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group 4 weeks after operation (25.46±3.97 vs. 16.95±4.17; 24.74±3.11 vs. 17.42±2.86; 25.48±1.69 vs. 25.48±1.69; 24.51±4.12 vs. 18.32±2.56) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in social/family status scores between the two groups (P>0.05). Additionally, the satisfaction of patients in the observation group to nursing care was also significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The evidence-based nursing program of progressive exercise can effectively reduce the lymphedema of patients after breast cancer surgery, improve their postoperative upper limbs function, and effectively promote the quality of life and nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Comparison of a Novel Muscle Training Device with Conventional Rehabilitation Training in Motor Dysfunction of Lower Limb Patients: A Pilot Study.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative functional training for fracture or osteoarthritis is mainly focused on functional self-exercise, which aims to recover the function of the lower limbs. PURPOSE: To compare the function and life quality recovery in patients with fracture or arthritis treated with novel muscle training device (NMT) or conventional rehabilitation training (CRT) following surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 32 fracture patients were randomly divided into the NMT or the CRT groups. The evaluation was performed on the first and 7th day after surgery. The outcome measurements included the incidence of foot drop, Deep Vein Thrombosis and pressure ulcers, Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS scores), pain scores for the Visual Analogue Scale (Pain scores for VAS), Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the Barthel Index score. RESULTS: The comparison of the change scores between the two groups indicated significant differences on day 7 following surgery in the Barthel Index score (P<0.01). The Pain scores for VAS between the two groups indicated a significant difference (P<0.05, U=20.0). The HSS scores between the two groups indicated a significant difference (P<0.05, U=19.0). The HSS scores exhibited a highly significant difference in the NMT group (P<0.01). The Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze the various components of the HSS scores. The comparison of the change scores on the function between the two groups indicated a significant difference (P<0.05). The Range of Motion difference between groups exhibited highly significant differences (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The novel muscle training device positively influenced the decrease in pain score, which resulted in a range increase of knee joint movement and a significant overall improvement in motion.

Advance in Gut Microbiota Function and Its Correlation with Exercise (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Gut microbiota, as a "microbial organ" in human body, has important physiological functions and participates in regulating body's homeostasis and health. Exercise can improve metabolism and immune regulation of body by promoting the composition and structure of gut microbiota, and even affects interaction of the "microbiota-gut-brain axis". This article reviewed the effects of various functions of gut microbiota on body and relationship between gut microbiota and exercise.

It is rocket science - why dietary nitrate is hard to 'beet'! Part II: further mechanisms and therapeutic potential of the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway.

Dietary nitrate (found in green leafy vegetables such as rocket and in beetroot) is now recognized to be an important source of nitric oxide, via the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway. Dietary nitrate confers several cardiovascular beneficial effects on blood pressure, platelets, endothelial function, mitochondrial efficiency and exercise. Having described key twists and turns in the elucidation of the pathway and the underlying mechanisms in Part I, we explore the more recent developments which have served to confirm mechanisms, extend our understanding, and discover new properties and potential therapeutic uses of the pathway in Part II. Even the established dependency on low oxygen states for bioactivation of nitrite has recently been challenged. Dietary nitrate appears to be an important component of 'healthy diets', such as the DASH diet to lower blood pressure and the Mediterranean diet, with its potential to lower cardiovascular risk, possibly through beneficial interactions with a range of other constituents. The World Cancer Research Foundation report strong evidence for vegetables including spinach and lettuce (high nitrate-containing) decreasing cancer risk (mouth, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus and stomach), summarized in a 'Nitrate-Cancer Risk Veg-Table'. The European Space Agency recommends that beetroot, lettuce, spinach and rocket (high-nitrate vegetables) are grown to provide food for long-term space missions. Nitrate, an ancient component of rocket fuel, could support sustainable crops for healthy humans.

Effect of group management mode on compliance of pelvic floor function exercise for patients with post ;partum urinary incontinence / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the effect of group management mode on compliance of pelvic floor function exercise for patients with post partum urinary incontinence (PPUI). Methods A total of 80 cases of patients with PPUI were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. Patients in the control group received one-to-one routine health guidance. Patients in the observation group received group management mode including special subject teaching guidance, induction and communication between patients. Three months after the intervention, two groups of patients were evaluated at six months after postpartum by the pelvic floor muscle strength, one-hour urine pad test and pelvic floor muscle function exercise compliance. Results Six months after postpartum, the cure rate of the pelvic floor muscle strength was 100%(40/40) for typeⅠmuscle, 100%(40/40) for typeⅡmuscle in the observation group. In the control group, the cure rate for typeⅠmuscle was 70%(28/40) and 65%(26/40) for type Ⅱmuscle. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant (χ2=14.118, 16.970, P=0.000). The total effective rate of urinary incontinence was 100.0%(40/40) in the observation group, 67.5% (16/40) in the control group, and there was statistical significance (χ2=25.232, P=0.000). Evaluation of the compliance of pelvic floor function exercise showed that the rates were 72.5% (29/40) for complete compliance, 27.5%(11/40) for incomplete compliance and 0 for total non-compliance in the observation group. In the control group, these rates were 2.5%(1/40), 55.0%(22/40), 42.5%(17/40). And there was statistical significance as well (χ2=54.847, P=0.000). Conclusions Group management mode can improve the compliance of pelvic floor muscle function exercise and the strength of pelvic floor muscle, and improve the degree of urinary incontinence in postpartum patients with urinary incontinence.

Influence of acupuncture point massage combined with limb function exercise on ABI and PWV of patients with CHD / 现代临床护理

Objective To explore the influence of acupuncture point massage combined with limb function exercise on ankle brachial index (ABI) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods According to scores by grace score scale, 180 CHD patients were divided into three groups: low risk group (n=58), moderate risk group (n=68) and high risk group (n=54). Within the three groups, the patients were divided into the experiment group and the control group by using the random digital table. The control group was treated with routine nursing intervention , while the experiment groups accepted acupuncture point massage and limb function exercise training on the basis of control groups. We collected the values of ABI and PWV at four points-in-time: before intervention, 7 days after intervention, 30 days after intervention and 90 days after intervention. Results Repeated measurement data analysis of the experiment group and control group suggested that:in the moderate and high risk groups, there was statistically significant difference (P 0.05) in time and group interaction effect. The difference between the experiment group and control group was statistically significant (P0.05) in ABI&PWV interaction effect at the four time points between the experiment group and control group. In the low-risk group,the differences in time points compared with the main effect were insignificant (all P>0.05). In comparison of main effect at all the four time points, there was significant different in the moderate and high risk group (P0.05) of ABI&PWV before and 90-days after intervention. Conclusion Acupuncture point massage combined with limb function exercise can effectively improve the peripheral artery blood supply in CHD patients, lower ABI and promote PWV.

The Influence of Uncertainty in Illness in Compliance of Respiratory Function Exercise and Rehabilitation after Surgery in Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery / 天津医药

Objective To explore the influence of uncertainty in illness in compliance of respiratory function exer-cise and rehabilitation after surgery in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods Mishel uncer-tainty in illness scale and compliance of respiratory function exercise scale were used to collect data in 108 patients with CABG. The correlation of the uncertainty in illness and compliance of respiratory function exercise was analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups (high score, medium score and low score groups) according to the detection of uncertainty in illness. Values of compliance of respiratory function exercise, postoperative care time, postoperative ventilation time, postop-erative hospital stay duration, 6-min walking test (6MWD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared be-tween three groups. Results The uncertainty in illness was in medium level (95.51±9.48) in patients with CABG surgery, which was negatively correlated with compliance of respiratory function exercise (r=-0.926, P<0.01). The postoperative venti-lation time and postoperative care time were less in low score group than those of medium score group and high score group. The compliance of respiratory function exercise, 6-min walking test and postoperative LVEF were better in low score group than those of medium score group and high score group. Conclusion Medical personnel should take targeted interventions to reduce the uncertainty in illness in patients, enhance the compliance of respiratory function exercise, reduce the postopera-tive complications and promote early recovery of patients.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation identifies and treats the systemic effects of the disease and the positive outcomes are realised without demonstrable improvements in lung function. It is multidisciplinary, patient centred and provides a comprehensive assessment upon which the three components of exercise training, self-management education, and psychosocial/ behaviour intervention are conducted over a period lasting 6 to 12 weeks. Pulmonary rehabilitation administered after hospital admission for an exacerbation was shown to be able to improve quality of life, improve exercise capacity, and also reduce re-exacerbation and hospital admission. Self-management education may promote long-term adherence to the exercise program.
