Objective To explore the clinical effect of traditional Chinese and Western medicine combined nursing intervention on pain control in patients after hip replacement .Methods Sixty-eight patients with hip replacement from January 2011 to April 2013 were divided into the experimental group and control group according to the random number table , each with 34 cases.The control group received the routine pain nursing intervention, and the experimental group received the auricular point and wrist ankle needle intervention on the basis of the control group.The degree of pain, adverse reactions, the days and costs of hospitalization, patients’ satisfaction and hip joint range of motion two weeks after operation .Results The scores of degree of pain in experimental group each time period were significantly lower than those in the control group , and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The rate of adverse reactions and the days and costs of hospitalization were respectively 11.7%, (12.32 ±3.42)d, (38 561.46 ±3 247.02) yuan in the experimental group, and were significantly lower than 26.5%, (16.78 ±4.76) d, (42 512.87 ±3 853.23) yuan in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=-3.452, 3.227, respectively;P<0.05). The patients’ satisfaction was 94.3% in the experimental group, and was significantly higher than 82.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.232, P<0.05).The hip joint range of active and passive motion two weeks after operation were respectively (97.86 ±6.56)°, (113.76 ±7.76)°in the experimental group, and were better than (90.14 ±6.23)°, (101.31 ±7.12)°in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t =-2.227, -3.216, respectively; P<0.05).Conclusions The traditional Chinese and Western medicine combined nursing intervention can effectively relieve the postoperative pain in patients after hip replacement , and is in favor of the rehabilitation of joint function so as to improve the quality of clinical nursing .

Objective:The nasal swell body(NSB) consists of the nasal septal cartilage, nasal bone, and swollen soft tissue, all of which are visible during endoscopic and imaging examinations. Although the function of the NSB remains uncertain, there is evidence to suggest that it plays a vital role in regulating nasal airflow and filtering inhaled air. Based on anatomical and histological evidence, it is hypothesized that the NSB is indispensable in these processes. This study aims to investigate the impact of NSB on nasal aerodynamics and the deposition of allergen particles under physiological conditions. Methods:The three-dimensional (3D) nasal models were reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) scans of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity in 30 healthy adult volunteers from Northwest China, providing basis for the construction of models without NSB following virtual NSB-removal surgery. To analyze the distribution of airflow in the nasal cavity, nasal resistance, heating and humidification efficiency, and pollen particle deposition rate at various anatomical sites, we employed the computed fluid dynamics(CFD) method for numerical simulation and quantitative analysis. In addition, we created fully transparent segmented nasal cavity models through 3D printing, which were used to conduct bionic experiments to measure nasal resistance and allergen particle deposition. Results:①The average width and length of the NSB in healthy adults in Northwest China were (12.85±1.74) mm and (28.30±1.92) mm, respectively. ②After NSB removal, there was no significant change in total nasal resistance, and cross-sectional airflow velocity remained essentially unaltered except for a decrease in topical airflow velocity in the NSB plane. ③There was no discernible difference in the nasal heating and humidification function following the removal of the NSB; ④After NSB removal, the deposition fraction(DF) of Artemisia pollen in the nasal septum decreased, and the DFs post-and pre-NSB removal were(22.79±6.61)% vs (30.70±12.27)%, respectively; the DF in the lower airway increased, and the DFs post-and pre-NSB removal were(24.12±6.59)% vs (17.00±5.57)%, respectively. Conclusion:This study is the first to explore the effects of NSB on nasal airflow, heating and humidification, and allergen particle deposition in a healthy population. After NSB removal from the healthy nasal cavities: ①nasal airflow distribution was mildly altered while nasal resistance showed no significantly changed; ②nasal heating and humidification were not significantly changed; ③the nasal septum's ability to filter out Artemisia pollen was diminished, which could lead to increased deposition of Artemisia pollen in the lower airway.
