Patients in intensive care unit were more critically ill, and often accompanied by dottiness and restless. In order to avoid the adverse events and self-injury, body constraints were often used on the patients. Therefore, this paper would discuss the ethics of body constraints and give the suggestions. According to the literature review and the analysis of the clinical nursing experience of relevant ethical principles, data was collected. The principle of informed consent, respect, and harmless was hard to decide on the issue of body constraints for patients in ICU. Nurses might pay attention to the application of ethical principles, and strengthen the humanistic care. On the issue of body constraints for ICU patients, nurses might pay special attention to the application of possible ethics principles in nursing process and reduce the application of the body constraints, and promote the physical and mental comfort of patients. It reflected the progress of the humanistic solicitude in the current clinical nursing and important value.

Objective:To investgate the effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) on the requirement for decompressive craniectomy (DC) and functional outcomes in patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke within 24 hours of onset admitted to the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between September 2017 and December 2019 were included. Outcome indicators included DC demand and poor outcome at 3 months. The latter was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score >2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent factors of DC requirement and functional outcomes at 3 months. Results:A total of 381 patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 203 males (53.3%), and the mean age was 70.7±14.3 years. The median time from onset to admission was 4.5 hours. The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 17 and median baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) was 7. Totally 139 patients (36.5%) received EVT, and 64 (16.8%) required DC; 376 patients (98.7%) completed a 3-month follow-up (5 who did not complete follow-up did not require DC, of which 2 received EVT), 312 (83.0%) had poor outcome at 3 months, and 146 (38.8%) died. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that EVT was an independent predictor for the requiremet of DC (odds ratio [ OR] 4.42, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.81-10.81; P=0.001), higher baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.71-0.89; P<0.001) and successful recanalization ( OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.15-0.90; P=0.028) were independent protective factors of reducing the requirement of DC. Successful recanalization ( OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.72; P=0.023) and antiplatelet therapy ( OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.11-0.76; P=0.012) were independent predictors for reduced risk of poor outcome. In 139 patients who received EVT, 27 (19.4%) received intravenous thrombolysis, 96 (69.1%) achieved successful recanalization, 88 (63.3%) had hemorrhagic transformation, 61 (43.9%) had symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, and 34 (24.5%) required DC; 137 (98.6%) completed a 3-month follow-up, 116 (84.7%) had poor outcome at 3 months, and 67 (48.9%) died. For patients receiving EVT, a higher baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.88; P=0.001) and successful recanalization ( OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.14-0.90; P=0.029) were independent predictors of reducing the requirement of DC, while successful recanalization ( OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.71; P=0.022) was an independent predictor for reduced risk of poor outcome. Among 64 patients who required DC, 22 (34.4%) received DC. Receiving DC significantly reduced the mortality within 3 months ( OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07-0.86; P=0.028), but had no significant effect on functional outcome at 3 months ( OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.03-4.38; P=0.412). There was no significant interaction of either EVT or successful recanalization in the effect of DC on 3-month death ( P for interaction > 0.05). Conclusions:Successful recanalization after EVT reduces requirement for DC in patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke and improves functional outcome at 3 months. DC can reduce the mortality in patients required DC, and have no interactive effect with EVT or successful recanalization.

ObjectiveTo investigate the features and changing trend of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in the elderly from 2009 to 2019, and to provide a reference for clinical prevention and treatment of DILI in the elderly. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 2107 elderly patients, aged ≥60 years, who were diagnosed with DILI in The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to December 2019, and they were divided into groups according to age. Related clinical data were analyzed, including age, sex, clinical features, prognosis, and regional distribution. The Chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsAmong the 2107 patients with DILI, there were 802 male patients and 1305 female patients, with a male/female ratio of 1∶1.63. Cholestasis type was the most common clinical type and was observed in 1439 patients (68.3%). There was the highest number of patients in the 60-64 years group (942 patients, 44.7%), among whom 618(65.6%) were female, 589(62.5%) had cholestasis type, 471(50.0%) had chronic DILI, 421(44.7%) had drug-induced liver cirrhosis, and 25(2.7%) had drug-induced liver failure. There were 187 patients in the 75-79 years group, among whom 110 (58.8%) patients were male, 137(73.3%) had cholestasis type, 114(60.9%) had liver cirrhosis, 4(2.1%) had drug-induced liver failure. The results showed that chronic DILI was more common in the 60-64 years group, and liver cirrhosis was more common in the 75-79 years group. As for prognosis, in the 60-64 years group, 27 patients (2.9%) were cured, 885 (93.9%) were improved, 30(32%) had no response or died; in the 65-69 years group, 16 (2.8%) were cured, 528 (92.0%) were improved, and 30(5.2%) had no response or died; in the 70-74 years group, 9(2.8%) were cured, 305(94.1%) were improved, and 10 (3.6%) had no response or died. The results showed that there was no significant difference in mortality rate between the different age groups (P>0.05). The proportion of elderly DILI patients among hospitalized DILI patients increased from 15.90% in 2009 to 22.05% in 2013 and 27.51% in 2019, with a 1.73-fold increase in 11 years. As for regional distribution, the patients in North China accounted for the highest proportion of 47.08% (the patients from Hebei, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia accounted for 24.92%, 10.96%, and 10.25%, respectively), followed by those in Northeast China who accounted for 17.85%. The patients in Beijing accounted for 11.53%. ConclusionThe proportion of elderly DILI patients among hospitalized DILI patients tends to increase in these years. Cholestasis type is the most common clinical type, and most of the patients with this clinical type progress to chronic DILI and drug-induced liver cirrhosis. Early diagnosis, early intervention, and standardized treatment of elderly DILI should be taken seriously.
