Objective To evaluate the effect of H. pylori eradication on the histologic changes in the gastric mucosa. Methods H. pylori-positive gastritis patients were divided into eradication group and control group. At the baseline and at the end of follow-up, all patients underwent endoscopy, biopsies for histological test. Result A total of 80 H. pylori-infected patients were divided randomily to eradication group ( n =40) and control group ( n =40). At 6 months, H. pylori eradicated in 29 patients was assigned to eradication group. In the control group, 27 patients remained H. pylori infected. Analysis of paired samples obtained from the same patients showed a significant decrease in acute and chronic gastritis ( P 0.05). In two groups, there were no significant changes in GA ( P =0.53 and 0.64).Conclusion H. pylori eradication can cure the acute and chronic inflammation and reduce, or even reverse the IM.

Objective To explore the application of compound sequential technology on sputum exclusion for patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 86 patients with cervical spinal cord injury ( CSCI) were divided into intervention group and control group from January 2011 to December 2013 in our hospital on average. The patients of intervention group adopted compound sequential technology on sputum exclusion, while the patients in the control group underwent conventional nursing measures. We evaluated the occurrence of pulmonary infection and atelectasis, and the usage of artificial airway. Results In the intervention group, the incidence of lung infection and atelectasis (9. 3%) was lower than that of the control group (37. 2%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =9. 382,P< 0. 05). The cure time in the intervention group was shorter that of the control group (t = -6. 339,P <0. 05). Utilization rate of artificial airway in the intervention group was 7. 0% compared with 30. 2% in the control group (χ2 =7. 679,P<0. 05). The length of carrying tube in the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (t = -5. 490,P <0. 05). Conclusions The compound sequential technology can improve the effect of sputum exclusion in patients with CSCI, decrease pulmonary infection and atelectasis, shorten the time of carrying tube, and enhance cure rate.

Objective:To explore the effects of respiratory resistance training combined with active cycle of breathing techniques in nursing care for patients with lower cervical spinal cord injury.Methods:From April 2017 to March 2019, we selected 78 patients with lower cervical spinal cord injury in Trauma Emergency Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University as subjects. All patients were divided into observation group and control group with the method of random number table, 39 cases in each group. Control group carried out the respiratory system nursing with the self-developed compound sequential technology on sputum exclusion. On the basis of that in control group, observation group implemented the resistance inspiratory training and expiratory training with the respiratory resistance training combined with active cycle of breathing techniques. We compared the volume of sputum excretion, pulmonary function[forced vital capacity (FVC) , forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) , peak expiratory flow (PEF) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) ] and incidences of pulmonary complications during hospitalization between two groups.Results:A total of four weeks after training, the volume of sputum excretion of observation group on the fifth day after surgery was lower than that of control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . There were four pulmonary function indexes (FVC、FEV1、PEF、MEP) in observation group better than those in control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . The incidence of pulmonary complications of observation group was lower than that of control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Respiratory resistance training combined with active cycle of breathing techniques can promote the early excretion of sputum of patients with lower cervical spinal cord injury, improve the pulmonary function and reduce the incidence of pulmonary complications.

Objective:To identify the risk factors of heart failure in elderly patients with hip fracture by Meta-analysis.Methods:The clinical studies on perioperative heart failure in elderly patients with hip fracture were searched by computer in Pubmed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Medline, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang and VIP database. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to October 2021. The literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation were completed by two researchers, and the selected literature were statistically analyzed by RevMan5.3 software.Results:A total of 17 articles were included in this study, involving 1 76 611 patients and 24 related risk factors. Cardiac history ( OR= 4.47, 95% CI 3.56-5.62), positive balance of perioperative inflow and outflow ( OR=5.99, 95% CI 3.30-10.87), anemia ( OR= 3.78, 95% CI 2.50-5.69), and the number of complications >4 ( OR=6.21, 95% CI 3.71-10.38), electrolyte disorder ( OR=7.40, 95% CI 3.77-14.54), preoperative cognitive impairment ( OR=3.60, 95% CI 1.39-9.31) and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade ≥ 3 ( OR= 4.73, 95% CI 2.73-8.12) were statistically significant risk factors ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Cardiac history, positive balance of perioperative inflow and outflow, anemia, number of complications >4, electrolyte disorder, preoperative cognitive impairment and ASA grade ≥3 were the risk factors of perioperative heart failure in elderly patients with hip fracture.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.
