Objective:To explore the initial motivation of nursing students to engage in voluntary service for the aged, and to provide scientific basis for the formulation of strategies and measures of voluntary service for the aged.Methods:Totally 25 nursing students volunteers who regularly participated in the volunteer service for the aged in Changsha First Welfare Home were selected by objective sampling method for semi-structured in-depth interviews, and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi phenomenological 7-step analysis method.Results:Four themes of nursing students' initial motivation to participate in voluntary service for the aged were extracted: self-interest motivation, altruistic motivation, affinity motivation and achievement motivation. Among them, self-interest motivation included two sub-themes: enriching college life and life experience, improving one's own ability and gaining professional experience; altruistic motivation included two sub-themes: accompanying and helping the elderly and eliminating loneliness of the elderly; affinity motivation included two sub-themes: establishing emotional sustenance and making up for the lack of emotion; achievement motivation included two sub-themes: facing challenges bravely, acquiring a sense of achievement, serving society and others, and realizing one's own value.Conclusion:Nursing students have a clear initial motivation to participate in the voluntary service for the aged of the aged care facilities, and schools can strengthen the relevant education for students to participate in voluntary service in the training of nursing talents. The voluntary service for the aged can formulate corresponding development strategies and incentives according to the initial motivation of nursing students, so that promote the expansion and stability of the voluntary service for the aged team, and promote the development and improvement of voluntary service for the aged.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations and gene mutation features of patients with nucleotide excision repair (NER) disorders.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of patients with NER disorders who were admitted to the Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from October 2008 to February 2022 and diagnosed in the Outpatient Department of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2015 to February 2022.Literature on previously reported Chinese patients with NER disorders was reviewed.Results:(1)A total of 16 patients with NER disorders were enrolled, including 6 males and 10 females.The onset age was 7.5 (4.0, 12.0) months and the age at diagnosis was 42.0 (21.5, 77.0) months.There were 3 types of NER disorders: Cockayne syndrome (CS) in 13 cases, Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) in 2 cases and Cerebro-Oculo-Facio-Skeletal syndrome (COFS) in 1 case.Four disease-causing genes were detected: CSA gene in 11 cases, CSB gene in 3 cases, XPG gene in 1 case, and XPD gene in 1 case.The first symptoms of the 16 patients were photosensitivity and developmental delay, and neurological symptoms were observed in all the 3 NER disorder types.XP and CS patients had skin symptoms.CS patients presented typical facial features, visual and auditory impairment, microcephaly and changes in neuroimaging features.COFS patients showed intrauterine growth retardation.(2)Results of literature review: a total of 96 Chinese patients reported were retrieved, involving 6 disease types, including CS in 45 cases, XP in 44 cases, trichothiodystrophy in 4 cases, COFS in 1 case, XP-CS in 1 case, and ultraviolet sensitive syndrome in 1 case.Nine mutated genes were identified: CSA in 33 cases, XPA in 15 cases, CSB in 13 cases, XPV in 10 cases, XPC in 9 cases, XPG in 7 cases, XPD in 7 cases, XPF in 1 case, and MPLKIP in 1 case.The common symptoms were growth failure (62 cases), skin photosensitivity (61 cases), typical facial features (52 cases), mental retardation (49 cases) and microcephaly (48 cases). Among 36 cases had imaging data 33 cases(91.7%)had calcification of basal nucleus or globus pallidus.Three cases had intrauterine growth retardation and microcephaly during pregnancy. Conclusions:Patients with such prenatal manifestations as intrauterine growth retardation and microcephaly or with typical symptoms like skin photosensitivity, typical facial features, growth failure, mental retardation, hypertonia, and calcifications of basal ganglia should be suspected of NER disorders.Early genetic testing is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine for analgesia in patients with non-mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:From December 2018 to August 2021, a multicenter randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to select non-mechanical ventilation patients with analgesic needs admitted to ICU of four hospitals in Henan Province and Guizhou Province. Patients were randomly assigned to nalbuphine group and fentanyl group. The nalbuphine group was given continuous infusion of nalbuphine [0.05~0.20 mg/(kg·h)], and the fentanyl group was given continuous infusion of fentanyl [0.5~2.0 μg/(kg·h)]. The analgesic target was critical-care pain observation tool (CPOT) score<2. The observation time was 48 hours. The primary endpoint was CPOT score, the secondary endpoints were Richmond agitation-sedation score (RASS), ICU length of stay, adverse events, and proportion of mechanical ventilation. The quantitative data of the two groups were compared by t test or Mann-Whitney U test. The enumeration data were compared by chi square test or Fisher exact probability method. The data at different time points between groups were compared by repeated measures analysis of variance. Results:A total of 210 patients were enrolled, including 105 patients in the nalbuphine group and 105 patients in the fentanyl group. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in CPOT score between nalbuphine group and fentanyl group at each time point after medication ( P>0.05), the CPOT score of both groups at each time point after medication was significantly lower than that before medication, and the analgesic target could be achieved and maintained 2 hours after medication. There was no significant difference in RASS between the two groups at each time point after medication ( P>0.05), which was significantly lower than that before medication, and the target sedative effect was achieved 2 hours after medication. There was no significant difference in ICU length of stay between nalbuphine group and fentanyl group [5.0(4.0,7.5) d vs. 5.0(4.0,8.0) d, P=0.504]. The incidence of delirium, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, pruritus, vertigo and other adverse events in the nalbuphine group was lower than that in the fentanyl group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of other adverse events such as deep sedation, hypotension and bradycardia between the two groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of respiratory depression in nalbuphine group was not significantly different from that in fentanyl group ( P>0.05), but the proportion of mechanical ventilation was significantly lower than that in the fentanyl group [1.9% (2/105) vs. 8.6%(9/105), P=0.030]. Conclusions:Nalbuphine could be used for analgesia in ICU patients with non-mechanical ventilation. The target analgesic effect could be achieved within 2 hours, and it had a certain sedative effect with a low incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective: To summarize the technical points and clinical efficacy of pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) in tunneling and to explore the related complications of this technique. Methods: A total of 67 cases of old vertebral fractures of the thoracolumbar region from June 2012 to June 2017 were collected. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 41 cases were included in the study. There were 19 males and 22 females; aged 37-67 years, mean 60.1±12.7 years; 15 cases of non-surgical treatment after trauma, 13 cases of failure after surgery and 13 cases of osteoporosis. Injury segment: 9 cases of T11, 22 cases of T12, 8 cases of L1, 2 cases of LS. Preoperative patients were diagnosed by X-ray, CT plain and 3D reconstruction combined with MRI. There were 23 cases of intractable back pain, 16 cases of lower extremity root pain, and 2 cases of intermittent claudication. Patients were divided into the traditional PSO treatment group (21 cases) and modified PSO treatment group (20 persons) according to the random number method. The traditional group were treated with the "egg shell" technique, and the improved group were treated with tunnel forming technology. The procedure was divided into four steps: exposure (step 1), nail placement and resection of the posterior column complex (step 2), vertebral osteotomy (step 3), orthopedics and bone grafting (step 4). The operation time, bleeding volume and complications of each step were compared between the two groups. The clinical efficacy was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). The X-ray spine Cobb angle was measured to evaluate the Keloid deformity correction, and the bone graft fusion was observed by CT examination. Results: All patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months. The total operation time of the traditional group was 273.3±21.1 min, and the total operation time of the modified group was 178.1±12.5 min, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=8.981, P=0.0019). The differences between the two groups in steps 2 and 3 were statistically significant (t₂=4.614, P₂=0.036; t₃=9.089, P₃=0.020) . The difference in the total bleeding volume was statistically significant (t=8.529, P=0.011). The differences in the bleeding volume between the two groups in step 2 and step 3 were statistically significant (t₂=11.933, P₂=0.016; t₃=6.972, P₃=0.013). The Cobb angles of the traditional group before surgery, 1 week after surgery and half year after surgery were 40.2°±8.9°, 12.5°±6.8°, 10.4°±2.5°, respectively. The Cobb angles of the modified group before surgery, 1 week after operation and half year after surgery were 39.5°±6.3°, 10.4°±3.5°, 9.5°±1.9°, respectively. The differences in the Cobb angle between the preoperative, postoperative 1 week and postoperative half year were statistically significant(F_{modified group}=189.573, P_{modified group}=0.021; F_{traditional group}=194.699, P_{traditional group}=0.029). The bone fusion time in the osteotomy area was 3-6 months, with an average of 4.8 months. The VAC and ODI scores of half-year post operation of the traditional group were 2.1±0.3 and 34.1±4.3, and the improved group were 2.2±1.1 and 28.3±6.8, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant. In the improved group, there were 1 case of over-excavation and 1 case of over-underexcavation (2/20), which were corrected in time during operation. In the traditional group, 4 cases (4/21) of dural tear occurred during the operation, and were repaired in time. Bone fusion was obtained half a year later. No clinical deaths, and no cases of surgical infection occured. Conclusion Tunnel forming technology is an alternative surgical procedure for treating old fractures of the thoracolumbar region with PSO, which can shorten the operation time, reducd intraoperative bleeding and reduce surgical complications.
