The physicochemical environment and action are similar between the traditional decoction and the extract technics with water or alcohol in the production of Chinese patent drug. Different heating time inevitably differs Chinese patent drug from its decoction; and the alteration of extracting dissolvent make great changes in the chemical constitution. All these lead to the change in the nature of a Chinese patent drug. The authors hold that it is difficult to embody exactly the aim of the prescription of Chinese drug in the existing production technology of Chinese patent drug. It is necessary to advance innovative thoughts of adopting modern technology to extract effective ingredients from single Chinese drug and in the reference of traditional decoction, recombining the composition and dosage of Chinese patent drug.

Objective:To deeply explore the real experience, source and coping style of stigma in patients with diabetic foot, so as to provide a reference for nurses to formulate targeted intervention measures.Methods:From January to April 2021, 12 diabetic foot patients from the Department of Endocrinology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the research object by objective sampling. The in-depth patient interview was conducted using the phenomenological method in qualitative research. The interview data were analyzed according to the Colaizzi 7-step analysis in phenomenology, and the themes were refined with the Nvivo 12.0.Results:The stigma experienced by diabetic foot patients was grouped into three themes. Theme one was the real experience of stigma, including shame, anxiety, depression, self-blame and regret, and low self-esteem. Theme two was the source of stigma, including family, friends and colleagues, media, and treatment costs. Theme three was stigma coping styles, including positive response, concealment, avoidance, and rejection.Conclusions:Diabetic foot patients have a strong sense of stigma and cannot take effective coping styles. Medical and nursing staff and family members of patients should pay full attention to the stigma of diabetic foot patients and provide them with nursing interventions and psychological support.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between sleep midpoint and sleep quality in insomnia patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:By adopting current situation investigation research, total of 150 T2DM patients hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), anxiety scale (SAS) and Depression Scale (SDS) were used to investigate, and then analysis the datum.Results:Among 150 T2DM insomnia patients, 41 cases (27.33%) were in the early midpoint sleep group, 37 cases (24.67%) were in the middle midpoint sleep group, and 72 cases (48.00%) were in the late midpoint sleep group. There were significant differences in the distribution of sex, age and BMI level among different sleep midpoint groups ( χ2=7.24, 13.36, 15.93, all P<0.05). The scores of time to fall asleep at the midpoint of sleep in the 3 groups were (2.12 ± 1.25), (2.65 ± 0.79), (2.33 ± 1.02), the difference was significant ( F=2.14, P<0.05); the daytime disability scores in the 3 groups were (1.39 ± 1.36), (2.16 ± 1.12), (1.85 ± 1.32), the difference was significant ( F=3.17, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis of disorder showed that the time to fall asleep ( OR=4.922, P<0.05) and daytime disability ( OR=4.043, P<0.05) had significant influence to the middle midpoint of sleep group when the early midpoint of sleep group as the control, while the male ( OR=2.182, P<0.05), 50 - 70 years old ( OR=5.005, P<0.05) and BMI over fat side ( OR=3.488, P<0.05) had significant influence to the late midpoint of sleep group. Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to the sleep quality of T2DM patients, pay attention to the sleep midpoint of patients, and improve patients′cognition of healthy sleep patterns.
