Objective To observe the influence of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Five-element music combined with language induction on the psychological status and quality of life among maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 66 maintenance hemodialysis patients were divided into the Five-element music group (n=34) and the routine care group (n=32) according to date of hemodialysis. The routine group accepted routine care. The music group accepted the intervention of traditional Chinese Medicine Five-element music combined with language induction on the basis of routine care. Four weeks later, the changes of Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HAD), the MOS item Short From Health Survey (SF- 36) were observed to assess the effect before and after the intervention. Results HAD comparison in the group: After 4-week intervention, in Five-element music group, the depression and anxiety score of HAD and HAD total score were 3, 5, 9 (meadian score), which had improved significantly than before, which were 4, 7, 12 (meadian score), the difference was significant (Z=-2.645,-2.927,-3.220, P<0.01) . After 4 weeks, in the routine group the depression and anxiety score of HAD and HAD total score showed no significant change than before (P>0.05). SF-36 comparison in groups: After 4-week intervention, in Five-element music group, the physical, physiological function,overall health, energy status, social function, emotional function, mental health factors of SF-36 scored 63, 88, 74, 41, 75, 75, 100, 80 (meadian score), which had improved significantly compared with before, which were 45, 0, 68, 40, 58, 75, 17, 72 (meadian score), the difference was significant (Z=-3.895--2.027, P<0.01 or 0.05), body pain and mental health factors had no significant difference (t=-1.785,-1.576, P>0.05). After 4 weeks, the routine group′s each factor score had no significant difference compared with before (P > 0.05). Conclusions TCM Five-element music has a certain effect on improving the psychological status and the quality of life of the patients in maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of early mobilization on gastrointestinal function and delirium in patients with mechanical ventilation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods: A total of 87 mechanically ventilated patients with COPD who met the inclusion criteria were selected as subjects from April 2017 to March 2018 in intensive care unit(ICU) of Huxi Hospital Affiliated to Jining Medical College.The patients were divided into treatment group (44 cases) and control group (43 cases) by the random number table method.On the basis of the same conventional treatment, the treatment group received early mobilization.The incidence of acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI), duration of AGI, incidence of delirium, duration of delirium, days of mechanical ventilation and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence rate of AGI in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group[40.9%(18/44) vs. 62.7%(27/43)], and the duration in the treatment group was shortened[(3.95±1.62)d vs. (5.23±2.03)d], and the incidence rate of delirium in the treatment group was lower[54.5%(24/44) vs. 76.7%(33/43)], the duration of delirium in the treatment group was shortened[(2.36±0.9)d vs. (3.25±1.27)d], the mechanical ventilation time in the treatment group was decreased[(6.39±1.76)d vs. (7.56± 1.49)d], the differences were statistically significant(χ²=4.17, t=-2.280, χ²=4.744, t=-2.919, -3.358, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of 28-day mortality between the two groups[2.3%(1/43) vs. 9.3%(4/43), χ²=-1.984, P>0.05]. Conclusion Early mobilization can reduce the incidence and duration of AGI and delirium in COPD patients with mechanical ventilation, reduce the severity of AGI, and shorten the time of mechanical ventilation.

Objective To investigate the effect of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) on the clinical efficacy and diaphragm function of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods The patients with mild to moderate AECOPD (clinical classification Ⅰ-Ⅱ) admitted to Huxi Hospital Affiliated to Jining Medical College from January to October in 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into HFNC treatment group and routine oxygen therapy control group (each n = 37) by randomly number table method. The two groups were given bronchiectasis drugs, corticosteroids, expectorant, anti-infection treatment, at the same time, the HFNC treatment group was given HFNC with the initial flow rate of 40 L/min. The routine oxygen therapy control group was given low flow oxygen, and the initial flow rate was 3 L/min. General data such as gender, age, clinical grade, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score were recorded. Bedside ultrasound was used to measure the diaphragmatic excursions during quiet breathing (DEq), diaphragmatic excursions during deep breathing (DEd), and diaphragmatic shallow fast breathing index (D-RSBI) before and 2, 24 and 48 hours after treatment in both groups and compared, meanwhile, arterial blood gas analysis was performed, and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were recorded. Results Two patients in the HFNC treatment group withdrew from the study because they could not tolerate HFNC, while other patients were enrolled in the analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, proportion of AECOPDⅡ grade or APACHEⅡscore between the two groups, indicating that the general data of the two groups were comparable and balanced. There was no statistically significant difference in DEq, DEd, D-RSBI, PaO2 or PaCO2 before treatment between the two groups. After treatment, DEp in both groups was decreased gradually with time, it was decreased earlier in the HFNC treatment group, and it showed significant difference as compared with that before treatment at 2 hours after treatment (mm: 18.3±3.1 vs. 20.1±4.2, P < 0.01), and it was significantly lower than that in the routine oxygen therapy control group (mm: 18.3±3.1 vs. 20.3±3.7, P < 0.05); DEd was gradually increased in both groups, it was significantly increased in the HFNC treatment group, and it was significantly higher than that in the routine oxygen therapy control group at 24 hours and 48 hours after treatment (mm: 55.2±7.6 vs. 50.8±9.2 at 24 hours, 59.4±7.7 vs. 53.6±9.1 at 48 hours, both P < 0.05); D-RSBI was decreased gradually in both groups, it was decreased earlier and more significant in the HFNC treatment group, and it was significantly lower than that in routine oxygen therapy control group at 24 hours and 48 hours after treatment (times·min-1·mm-1: 0.41±0.13 vs. 0.51±0.20 at 24 hours, 0.31±0.12 vs. 0.43±0.17 at 48 hours, both P < 0.05). After treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in PaO2 or PaCO2 between the two groups. Conclusion HFNC can effectively relieve diaphragm fatigue in patients with mild to moderate AECOPD, but it had no effect on carbon dioxide retention.

Objective To investigate the effects of early mobilization therapy on gastrointestinal function and respiratory mechanics in mechanical ventilation patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was used. Eighty-five patients with COPD who had stable hemodynamics and required invasive mechanical ventilation from January to December 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into treatment group with 43 cases and control group with 42 cases according to the random number table method. The patients in both groups received conventional basic treatment, but the treatment group received early mobilization therapy. The conditions of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI), incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), duration of mechanical ventilation, 28-day mortality and respiratory mechanics indexes before and after treatment including airway resistance (Raw), lung dynamic compliance (Cd), lung static compliance (Cs), intrinsic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEPi) were compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical difference in Raw, Cd, Cs and PEEPi before treatment between 2 groups (P＞0.05). The PEEPi and Raw after treatment in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group:(6.51 ± 1.46) cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) vs. (7.30 ± 1.61) cmH2O and (19.23 ± 2.62) cmH2O/(L·s) vs. (20.54 ± 2.50) cmH2O/(L·s), the Cs and Cd were significantly higher than those in control group:(53.14 ± 5.07) ml/cmH2O vs. (49.16 ± 5.10) ml/cmH2O and (26.63 ± 3.28) ml/cmH2O vs. (24.54 ± 1.97) ml/cmH2O, and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05 or＜0.01). The incidences of AGI, duration of AGI, duration of mechanical ventilation and incidence of VAP in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group: 44.2% (19/43) vs. 66.7% (28/42), (3.56 ± 1.22) d vs. (4.26 ± 1.62) d, (6.79 ± 1.92) d vs. (7.64 ± 1.89) d and 2.3% (1/43) vs. 14.3% (6/42), the severity of AGI was significantly lower than that in control group (patients of gradeⅠ,Ⅱ,ⅢandⅣin treatment group were 11, 6, 1 and 1 case respectively, and patients of grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ in control group were 7, 12, 8 and 1 case respectively), and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05). There was statistical difference in 28-day mortality between 2 groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions The incidence of AGI in mechanical ventilation patients with COPD is high. Early mobilization therapy can reduce the incidence and duration of AGI in mechanically ventilated patients with COPD, and reduce airway resistance, increase Cd and Cs, reduce PEEPi, improve respiratory function, shorten mechanical ventilation time, and reduce the incidence of VAP, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
