OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to observe the postoperative pain rate and degree of pain in preschool children with cleft lip and palate, and investigate the effect of nursing intervention on pain relief.
METHODSA total of 120 hospitalized cases of three- to seven-year-old preschool children with cleft lip and palate were selected from May to October 2011. The subjects were randomly divided into the control group and experimental groups 1, 2, and 3. The control group used conventional nursing methods, experimental group 1 used analgesic drug treatment, experimental group 2 used psychological nursing interventions, and experimental group 3 used both psychological nursing intervention and analgesic drug treatment. After 6, 12, 24, and 48 h, pain self-assessment, pain parent-assessment, and pain nurse-assessment were calculated for the four groups using the pain assessment forms, and their ratings were compared.
RESULTSThe postoperative pain rates of the four groups ranged from 50.0% to 73.3%. The difference among the four groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The differences among the control group and experimental groups 1 and 2 were not statistically significant (P = 0.871), whereas the differences among experimental group 3 and the other groups were statistically significant (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONPostoperative pain in preschool children with cleft lip and palate is common. Psychological nursing intervention with analgesic treatment is effective in relieving postoperative pain.

In order to study the contraindications of the compatibility of Flos Genkwa-Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, in this study, the solubilizing and poisoning essence were explored. In this experiment, chromatographic assay, field emission scanning electron microscopy, MTT cytotoxicity evaluation, and other methods were used to study the main chemical components, morphology and toxicity of the ethyl acetate part of Flos Genkwa and its co-decoction with glycyrrhizic acid, in order to clarify Flos Genkwa-Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae incompatibility provides a new idea for the research on incompatibility of Flos Genkwa-Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae. The results showed that after co-decoction of the ethyl acetate part of Flos Genkwa with glycyrrhizic acid, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detected the dissolution of the toxic component yuanhuacine of 54.8%, while yuanhuacine chromatographic peak was not detected in the Flos Genkwa ethyl acetate part of the single decoction. The increase of co-decoction dissolution rate was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and it was found that glycyrrhizic acid uniformly dispersed the fat-soluble components of Flos Genkwa into nano-scale particles, which improved the solubility and stability in the solution. Furthermore, the results of cytotoxicity evaluation showed that the survival rate of cells decreased after co-decoction, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining also gave the same results. In summary, the co-decoction of the ethyl acetate part of Flos Genkwa with glycyrrhizic acid promotes the dissolution of the toxic component yuanhuacine, and makes the part form uniformly distributed nanoparticles, which is conducive to the absorption of the ingredient and increases the toxicity.

Objective To research the current problems in graduate education administration of military medical university, a questionnaire survey was made. Aimed at the actual needs of students, coun-termeasures and suggestions were put forward. Methods Using self-compiled questionnaire, we investigated the physical and mental state of postgraduate students and the attitude to graduate advisor, scientific re-search and management system in a military medical university during from October 2016 to January 2017. Data processing and statistical analysis were used by SPSS 23.0, and the data of different categories of students were compared by chi square test. Results 320 questionnaires were distributed and 309 valid questionnaires were collected. The recovery rate was 96.5%. 95.8% of graduate students (315 people) gen-erally recognized the patterns and manage effectiveness of graduate advisor and management unit. 70.9%(219 people) were satisfied with current graduate life. 73.5% (227 people) were also able to maintain a good mood and mentality. 78.7% (243 people) felt the high pressure of research and 91.2% (282 people) were satisfied with their mentor. There was a statistically significant difference in the overall evaluation of student team management among students of different source categories (P=0.002), and there was a statistically significant difference in frequency of monthly communication with tutors among different majors ( P=0.002). Conclusion The graduate students in the university are currently able to adapt to the overall man-agement system. However, we should strengthen the targeted management according to the categories of students, strengthen students' psychological counseling work, deepen their life and find unstable factors in time, and coordinate the management of tutors and student teams, so that scientific research and organiza-tional management complement each other.
