Observation on the Effect of Rapid Rehabilitation Nursing with Integrated Medical Care in Perioperative Period of Laparoscopic Appendicitis in Children.

AIM: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen in pediatric surgery. The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of integrated rapid rehabilitation nursing in children with laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) during the perioperative period. METHODS: A total of 200 children with appendicitis who underwent LA in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study subjects. According to the nursing mode, they were divided into a control group (n = 100) and an observation group (n = 100). The control group was treated with routine nursing intervention, and the observation group was treated with an integrated rapid rehabilitation nursing intervention. Perioperative indices (operation time, first postoperative exhaust time, length of hospital stay) were recorded and compared between the two groups. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to score the two groups at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after surgery, and the pain degree of the children was quantitatively evaluated. The levels of serum stress response indices (cortisol (Cor), norepinephrine (NE), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)) in the two groups were measured. The incidence of postoperative complications, improvement of postoperative quality of life, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The operation time, first postoperative exhaust time, and hospitalization time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (p < 0.05), and the VAS scores of the patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at each time point of 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after surgery (p < 0.05). One hour after surgery, the serum Cor, NE, and ACTH levels of the two groups of patients were significantly higher than those before surgery, and the levels for the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the quality of life scores of patients in both groups was significantly higher than before treatment, and the quality of life scores of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). The postoperative complication rate of the observation group was 3.00% (3/100), which was significantly lower than that of the control group (13.00% (13/100)) (χ2 = 6.793, p = 0.009). The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was 95.00% (95/100), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (79.00% (79/100)) (χ2 = 11.317, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The integrated rapid rehabilitation nursing management mode is an intervention that can effectively alleviate the effects of LA on stress reactions and pain in children with appendicitis. It can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve the patient's nursing satisfaction, allowing children with appendicitis to recover as soon as possible after surgery, and can improve patients' quality of life. It helps to improve the overall clinical efficacy, and the treatment process is simple to operate, relatively safe and reliable, has high use value, and is worthy of further promotion in clinical treatment.

Advances in pulmonary rehabilitation for children with bronchial asthma. / æ”¯æ°”ç®¡å“®å–˜æ‚£å„¿è‚ºåº·å¤ä¸´åºŠç ”ç©¶è¿›å±•.

Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. With the development of the whole-life-cycle health concept, the focus of treatment for bronchial asthma in children has gradually shifted from pharmacological control to an integrated management model of functional rehabilitation and pharmacological assistance. As a non-pharmacological integrated approach, pulmonary rehabilitation plays an equally important role in the management of childhood asthma as pharmacological treatments. Breathing techniques such as Buteyko breathing, pursed lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing training, threshold-pressure inspiratory muscle training and yoga breathing can improve lung function indicators such as forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) in children. Comprehensive pre-exercise assessment, development of exercise prescriptions, and implementation and evaluation of exercise effects can improve physical fitness, neuromuscular coordination, and self-confidence of children with asthma. The comprehensive interventions of health education, psychological support and nutritional intervention can improve the compliance and effectiveness of rehabilitation training. This article reviews the research progress on respiratory training, physical exercise, and comprehensive interventions in the pulmonary rehabilitation of asthmatic children, to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the scientific and rational management of pulmonary rehabilitation of asthmatic children in clinical settings.

Association of dietary patterns with depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: Depression is highly prevalent in adolescents and may have adverse social and health consequences. To investigate the effect of diet on the occurrence of depression in adolescents, this study examined the correlation between dietary patterns and depression in adolescents. Methods: A total of 853 participants were recruited in September to October 2022 in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China. The Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to assess the subjects' depressive symptoms in the past 2 weeks. Relevant dietary information was obtained through a food frequency questionnaire. The associations between dietary patterns and the risk of depression were assessed using a logistic regression model. Results: Four dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis, including the modern pattern, the snack-aquatic pattern, the traditional pattern, and the vegetarian pattern. The risk of mild depression among adolescents was higher in the Q2 and Q3 groups of the modern model than in the Q1 group of this type, and the risk of mild depression was higher in the Q4 group of the snack-aquatic model than in the Q1 group of this type; while the risk of moderate depressive symptoms was lower in the Q3 group of the vegetarian model compared with the Q1 group. Conclusion: Modern and snack-aquatic patterns are associated with an increased risk of depression in Chinese adolescents, and vegetarian patterns are associated with a reduced risk of depression. The current findings emphasize the importance of adolescents consuming moderate amounts of rice flour, adequate vegetables and fruits, and reducing snack intake.
