Objective To investigate the clinical nursing path on the psychological status of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time.Methods Two hundred cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time were equally randomized into the observation group and control group:the former used conventional nursing method and the latter a clinical nursing path.The self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)were used to assess their psychological state.Results After intervention,the scores on SDS and SAS in the former group were significantly lower than those in the latter group(all P<0.05). The satisfaction rate in the former was higher than that of the control(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical nursing path makes it possible to effectively alleviate the psychological burden of the cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time and improve the patients’satisfaction with nursing working.

Objective To study the clinical characteristicsand prognosis in pediatric sudden sensorineural hearing loss and provide guidance for clinical practice.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 23 pediatric sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients (25 ears) treated in our department during the past 9 years (from January 2008 to October 2016).Comparatively we looked into those related factors (age,gender,ear side,treatment onset,initial hearing threshold,virus infection history,audiogram configuration,presence of tinnitus,vertigo,ear fullness and recovery) between pediatric patients and 202 adult patients (219 ears).Results Pediatric patients comprised 10.2 % of pediatric/adult cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.The average hearing threshold (87.7± 16.1 dB),rate of presence of vertigo (48.0%) and rate of virus infectionin in the pediatric group,were significantly higher than those of in the adult group (P<0.05).Tinnitus occurred in 80% of pediatric patients,and 96 % of the audiogram configurations showed total deafness curves and flat lines.After positive treatment,the overall recovery rate of the pediatric and the adult group were 52.0% and 46.6%,and the rate of complete recovery was 4.0% and 14.2%,respectively.The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion Pediatric sudden sensorineural hearing loss was generally identified as severe hearing loss with a high rate of presence of tinnitus and vertigo,and most audiogram configurations were total deafness in fiat lines.Virus infection probably is one of the primary etiologies for sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children.

External apical root resorption is among the most common risks of orthodontic treatment, and it cannot be completely avoided and predicted. Risk factors causing orthodontic root resorption can generally be divided into patient- and treatment-related factors. Root resorption that occurs during orthodontic treatment is usually detected by radiographical examination. Mild or moderate root absorption usually does no obvious harm, but close attention is required. When severe root resorption occurs, it is generally recommended to suspend the treatment for 3 months for the cementum to be restored. To unify the risk factors of orthodontic root resorption and its clinical suggestions, we summarized the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of more than 20 authoritative experts in orthodontics and related fields in China. After discussion and summarization, this consensus was made to provide reference for orthodontic clinical practice.
