Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2016;23(5):536-538
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical curative effect of nasal jejunal nutrition support in stroke patients with gastric retention.Methods Forty-two patients with cerebral apoplexy combined with gastric retention admitted to Dingxing County Hospital in Hebei province from March 2012 to November 2015 and treated with enteral nutrition support were enrolled, and they were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, 21 cases in each group. Under the guidance, routine treatment were given, the head of bed was raised to 30°- 45°, and gastrointestinal decompression was carried out in the two groups. In the observation group, a nasal jejunal tube was inserted and enteral nutrition was given, while in the control group, parenteral nutrition was firstly applied until the recovery of gastrointestinal function, then nasogastric enteral nutrition was carried out. Compared between the two groups, on the day of admission before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment, blood glucose levels, plasma total protein levels, albumin were detected; the triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), upper arm circumference (MAC), upper arm muscle circumference (AMC), etc were measured in the two groups to show the difference in nutritional status. Adverse reactions of diarrhea, stress ulcer, gastrointestinal tract infection, reverse flow, high blood sugar and central venous infection and complications in the two groups were observed.Results The levels of blood glucose, albumin, total protein content were not significantly different between the two groups before treatment (allP > 0.05). Blood glucose levels in the two groups after treatment were lower than those on admission, and the decrease in the observation group was more significant (mmol/L: 6.45±2.15 vs. 7.68±2.68,P < 0.05); the levels of albumin and total protein in the control group after treatment were lower than those on admission, while the observation group had no such significant changes, and the levels of the control group were significantly lower than those of the observation group [albumin (g/L): 30.78±4.12 vs. 38.20±4.67, total protein (g/L): 63.91±4.32 vs. 67.11±3.12, P < 0.05]. After treatment for 2 weeks, the nutritional indexes of TSF, MAC, AMC in the two groups were slightly lower than those on admission, but the degrees of descent in observation group were not as significant as those in the control group [TSF (mm): 11.91±1.29 vs. 10.13±1.37, MAC (cm): 24.19±3.12 vs. 23.74±2.08, AMC (cm): 22.64±2.05 vs. 21.73±2.15, allP < 0.05]. The incidences of adverse reactions and complications in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [diarrhea: 9.5% vs. 38.1%, stress ulcer: 4.8% vs. 33.3%, regurgitation:4.8% vs. 28.6%, hyperglycemia: 9.5% vs. 38.5%,P < 0.05]; In the control group, the incidence of central venous infection was 4.8%.Conclusions Gastric jejunal nutrition support in patients with cerebral apoplexy combined with gastric retention can prevent occurrence of malnutrition, reduce the incidences of adverse reactions and complications and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) at different ages receiving intravenous injection of alteplase for thrombolysis on their prognosis.Methods Ninety-eight ACI patients admitted to Jinghai Hospital of Tianjin from January 2014 to December 2015 were conducted in this study, and they were divided into elderly group (over 75 years old) and younger age group (under 50 years old). The patients in two groups of were given intravenous thrombolytic therapy with alteplase (0.9 mg/kg), 10% of the dose was intravenously injected, and continuously the remaining dose was pumped into the vein for 1 hour. Before the thrombolysis and 1 day and 21 days after thrombolysis, the score of United States National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to evaluate neurological deficits, the incidence of bleeding adverse event and mortality were recorded.Results Compared to the before thrombolysis, the NIHSS scores after thrombolysis on the 1st day and 21st day were significantly decreased in the two groups (the younger age group 1 day: 6±4 vs. 10±5, 21 days 2±2 vs. 10±5, the elderly group 1 day: 7±5 vs. 10±7, 21 days: 6±4 vs. 10±7, allP < 0.05), and NIHSS score in the younger age group was significantly lower than that in the elderly group on the 21st day after thrombolysis (2±2 vs. 6±4,P < 0.05). After thrombolysis, the incidence of minor mucocutaneous bleeding in elderly group was obviously higher than that in younger age group, the difference being statistically significant [7.69% (4/52) vs. 2.17% (1/46),P < 0.05]; the elderly group had higher symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and death events than those in younger age group [1 (1.92%) vs. 0].Conclusion Different ages of patients with ACI can benefit from intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase, showing the younger the age of the patients, the better the benefit they can get and have relatively better prognosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for treatment of children with acute brain injury.Methods A prospective study was conducted. Sixty-one children with brain injury admitted to Guiyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2014 to April 2016were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into acupuncture group (31 cases), and conventional treatment control group (30 cases). All cases with operation indications received craniotomy and tracheal intubation, and after operation symptomatic treatment, ventilator assistance, etc. were given to the patients; in acupuncture group,acupuncture was applied after vital signs were stable, the main acupoints being neiguan, renzhong, sanyinjiao, siguan, yongquan, baihui, shixuan, etc. once needle retention time at points 30 minutes, 5 times a week, 10 times for a therapeutic course, the therapeutic course being 2 weeks. The therapeutic effects were evaluated according to the modified Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and the CT image scoring method. Results After treatment, the coma (GCS) and brain injury (CT score) situations in the acupuncture group were more significantly improved than those in control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, the number of cases with clear mental state was increased (22 cases vs. 15 cases), the number of cases with shallow coma and elevated GCS score was increased (27 cases vs. 19 cases), of cases with improvement in brain morphology and reduced CT score was also increased (22 cases vs. 13 cases) in the acupuncture group (bothP < 0.05); and of dead cases without any therapeutic effect was less (2 cases vs. 4 cases) in acupuncture group, but their differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The time of treatment in acupuncture group were significantly shorten compared with that of the control group (weeks: 2.7±0.7 vs. 3.7±0.4,P < 0.01). The total effective rate of acupuncture group was significantly higher than that of control group [90.3% (28/31) vs. 70.0% (21/30),P < 0.05].Conclusion Acupuncture has a significant effect for treatment of children with acute brain injury.
