Objective To observe the effect of externally-applied Honghua liquid and catus on phlebitis induced by amiodaone.Methods One hundred and two patients with phlebitis induced by injection of amiodaone for the treatment of arrhythmia were randomly divided into control group(n=50)and treatment group(n=52)from January 2012 to December 2013. Patients in the control group were independently treated only by 50 % Honghua liquid, while the patients in the observation group were treated by hot dressing with Honghua liquid followed by wet dressing of catus. The curative effects in both groups were observed and compared.Result The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group(χ2=6.275, P<0.05).Conclusion Hot dressing with Honghua liquid combined with wet dressing with catus is a simple and effective method to treat the phlebitis induced by injection of amiodaone.

Background:
This study aimed to estimate temporal trends in metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) among United States (US) adults by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and income from 1999 to 2018.
Methods:
We included 17,230 non-pregnant adults from a nationally representative cross-sectional study, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). MUO was defined as body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 with any metabolic disorders in blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids. The age-adjusted percentage of MUO was calculated, and linear regression models estimated trends in MUO.
Results:
The weighted mean age of adults was 47.28 years; 51.02% were male, 74.64% were non-Hispanic White. The age-adjusted percentage of MUO continuously increased in adults across all subgroups during 1999–2018, although with different magnitudes (all P<0.05 for linear trend). Adults aged 45 to 64 years consistently had higher percentages of MUO from 1999–2000 (34.25%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 25.85% to 42.66%) to 2017–2018 (42.03%; 95% CI, 35.09% to 48.97%) than the other two age subgroups (P<0.05 for group differences). The age-adjusted percentage of MUO was the highest among non-Hispanic Blacks while the lowest among non-Hispanic Whites in most cycles. Adults with high-income levels generally had lower MUO percentages from 1999–2000 (22.63%; 95% CI, 17.00% to 28.26%) to 2017–2018 (32.36%; 95% CI, 23.87% to 40.85%) compared with the other two subgroups.
Conclusion
This study detected a continuous linear increasing trend in MUO among US adults from 1999 to 2018. The persistence of disparities by age, race/ethnicity, and income is a cause for concern. This calls for implementing evidence-based, structural, and effective MUO prevention programs.

Objective:To introduce evidence-based concepts into clinical nursing, and carry out perioperative nutritional risk screening for patients with primary liver cancer treated with Cyberknife, so as to enhance the overall nutritional management awareness and the level of nutritional nursing intervention of the nursing staff, and at the same time provide a basis and support for pushing nursing staff to multidisciplinary cooperation and broadening their professional horizons.Methods:From August 2019 to July 2020, in accordance with the practice model of the Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-based Health Care Center, we searched the evidence on nutritional risk screening of patients with primary liver cancer treated with Cyberknife in the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition website and the Chinese Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Society website, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Data. The evidence was evaluated by the team and applied to nurses and patients in the Liver Oncology Department of the Fifth Medical Center of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital. A total of 21 nurses were selected to conduct a survey with the Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire of Primary Liver Cancer Patients undergoing Cyberknife Treatment designed by the research team before and after the application of evidence. A total of 41 patients treated with Cyberknife for primary liver cancer admitted from August to December 2019 (without the use of this evidence) were selected as the control group, and 39 patients treated with Cyberknife for primary liver cancer admitted from January to April 2020 (after the application of the evidence) were selected as the observation group. The nutrition-related indicators of the two groups of patients were collected and compared when the patients were admitted to the hospital and when they were discharged after the Cyberknife treatment was completed.Results:After the application of the evidence, 21 nurses' awareness rates of perioperative nutritional risk-related knowledge of patients treated with primary liver cancer Cyberknife, nutritional risk screening implementation rates, patients' nutritional screening knowledge awareness rates and nutritional screening implementation rates were higher than those before the application of the evidence, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The evidence-based nursing practice based on the practice model of the Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-based Health Care Center is used to screen the nutritional risk of perioperative patients with primary liver cancer treated with Cyberknife treatment, which enriches the nurses' knowledge about nutrition risk screening, enhances the initiative of nurses in clinical work, and is also conducive to strengthening multidisciplinary cooperation, and improving the quality of perioperative nutritional nursing management for patients with primary liver cancer treated with Cyberknife.
