Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES) plus acupuncture in treating deglutition disorders after cerebral stroke. Method Seventy-six patients were randomized into two groups. The treatment group (38 cases) was intervened by LFES plus acupuncture;the control group (38 cases) was by LFES. Result The water drinking test scores were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05); after the intervention, there were significant differences in comparing the water drinking test score, improvement score, and therapeutic efficacy grading between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion LFES and acupuncture are both effective in treating deglutition disorders after cerebral stroke, and the combination of the two methods can enhance the clinical efficacy.

Objective To clarify the association of onset and maintenance of metabolic syndrome (MS) with energy metabolism imbalance,especially with dialysate glucose load in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods Using retrospective self-controlled study,the changes of MS,dialysate glucose load and dietary energy intake (DEI) in 126 PD patients in about 1 year were collected and analyzed to define the effect of energy intake on MS.Resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured and physical activity level (PAL) was evaluated based on the activity records in PD patients with unchanged MS state and their impacts on MS were analyzed.Results The incidence of changing from non-MS to MS was higher in glucose load increasing group than that of glucose load unchanged or decreasing group.When glucose load increased,patients developing MS had significantly increased serum triglyceride (TG) level (P＜0.01) and significantly decreased serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level (P＜0.05),while the waist circumference and blood glucose level did not alter significantly.In patients changing from MS to non-MS,their serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels significantly decreased during the follow-up (P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in DEI in patients changing from MS to non-MS.However,in patients changing from non-MS to MS,their DEI decreased during the follow up (P＜0.05).In a subgroup analysis in 36 PD patients who maintained their metabolic status and did not change their glucose load,there was no difference in REE per body surface per day between the MS group and the nonMS group (t=0.840,P＞0.05).However,the PAL was lower in the MS group than that of the nonMS group (t=2.358,P＜0.05).Conclusions The increase of dialysate glucose load may be an important factor leading to the onset of MS,by altering serum TG and HDL-C level.Inflammation and the sedentary life also contribute to the MS state.

Objective To explore the nursing efficacy of handling methods for local tissue damage in-duced by venous fluorouracil exosmosis. Methods 64 cancer patients who were used fluorouracil had 300 venous exosmosis cases,these were divided into two groups randomly with 150 cases in each group.In the exper-imental group, lidocaine plus dexamethasone acetate were used for wet compress for 12～24 hours continuously, then cold dressing for 12～24 hours discontinuously.In the control group, lidocaine plus dexamethasone acetate were used for local block,then cold dressing for 12～24 hours discontinuously. Results The time of local swelling reduction was shorter(P<0.01 ), the condition of subcutaneous hemorrhage was lighter(P<0.05),the recovery time of subcutaneous stasis of blood was shorter (P<0.01) in the experimental group than that in the control group. Conclusions It can reduce patients' pain and local swelling by using lidocaine plus dexam-ethasone acetate for continuouswet compress plus discontinuous cold dressing to treat venous fluorouracil exos-mosis.Patients were willing to accept it and it can avoid the pain and damage induced by local block.
