Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis and classification of traumatic spleen rupture , as compared with enhanced CT. Methods The manifestations of contrast-enhanced ultrasound on surgically or clinically confirmed spleen rupture in 40 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound on diagnosis and classification was compared with that of enhanced CT. Results For 40 patients with traumatic spleen rupture , the of accuracy of enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced imaging in the diagnosis of traumatic spleen rupture was 97.5%, with no significant statistical differences (chi-square = 0, P = 1). On contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination, 14 patients were diagnosed as true splenic rupture , 9 as subcapsular spleen rupture , and 16 as central splenicrupture, with a accuracy rate of 92.5% (37/40); and accuracy rate for enhanced CT was 90.0% (36/40), there was no significant statistical difference (chi-square = 1.97, P > 0.05). Conclusions Contrast-enhanced and enhanced CT have good consistency in the diagnosis and classification of traumatic spleen rupture. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can accurately determine the scope and degree of spleen damage , resulting in more accurate classification; and it has values in the diagnosis of traumatic spleen rupture and choice of therapies.

Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on the social support and compliance of parents of severe β-Mediterranean anemia children. Methods A total of 100 cases of Mediterranean anemia children’s parents were surveyed with the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and self-made compliance questionnaires, the investigation was performed before the intervention,6 months, 1 year after the intervention. Results The scores of objective support, subjective support and supporting availability after the intervention were all higher than those before intervention (F=269.04, 125.12, 243.04, all P<0.01). In the pairwise comparison tests, the ranks of objective support score and subjective support score were:1 year after intervention>6 months after intervention>before intervention (P<0.01);the score of supporting availability was lower than the scores of 6 months and 1 year after intervention (P<0.01). The compliance of blood transfusion on time and taking deferoxamine on time before and after the interventions had statistical meanings (Hc=100.40,70.53, all P<0.01). In the pairwise comparison tests, the compliance score before intervention was lower than the score after intervention (P < 0.01). Conclusions Nursing intervention can improve the social support and compliance of the parents with severe Mediterranean anemia children.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2022;38(10):776-780
Objective:To explore the nursing points of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia after liver transplantation in infants.Methods:Strengthened artificial airway management for children to improve dyspnea. Adopted nasal high-flow humidifying oxygen therapy to correct hypoxemia. Implemented individual temperature management to effectively control high fever. Strengthened children′s medication management, predictive skin management, using the protective isolation and psychological nursing.Results:After timely treatment and careful nursing, the condition of the three children was improved, SpO 2 was maintained at 0.95-1.00, and the patients were discharged successfully. One patient with respiratory failure died of multiple organ failure due to the deterioration of the condition after receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygen and supportive treatment. Conclusions:The infants with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia after liver transplantation should strengthen airway management, correct hypoxia. At the same time to do a good job of symptomatic care, strengthen the observation of the condition, can promote the rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the current status of frailty in liver transplant candidates and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 150 liver transplant candidates who were hospitalized in the Department of Liver Transplantation of a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou from July 2022 to July 2023.They were investigated by the general patient data,Fried Frailty Phenotype,Barthel Index,Nutrition Risk Screening 2002,General Health Status Scale.Statistical methods including single factor and multifactor analysis were conducted for influencing factors of frailty in liver transplant candidates.Results The pre-frailty and frailty rates in 145 liver transplant candidates were 42.07%and 45.52%,respectively,and only 12.41%were non-frailty.The results of ordered multiple Logistic regression showed that age,total bilirubin,hemoglobin,and general health status were influential factors in the frailty of liver transplant candidates(P<0.05).Conclusion Liver transplant candidates have a high incidence of frailty.Age,total bilirubin,hemoglobin,and general health status are influential factors in frailty.Nurses should pay attention to the assessment of frailty in liver transplant candidates,and take timely and targeted nursing interventions to prevent or delay the occurrence and development of frailty.
