Objective To explore the effects of three kinds of respiratory training methods on pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with thoracic cancer radiotherapy. Methods A total of 76 patients with thoracic cancer were divided into the control group (20 cases), the retracting-lip breathing group (19 cases), the blowing balloons group (18 cases), and the resisting respiratory exercise group (19 cases) by the draw method. Based on conventional health services, the retracting-lip breathing group, the blowing balloons group, and the resisting respiratory exercise group were given respiratory training (one month), whereas the control group only followed routine nursing care. The pulmonary function and quality of life were measured at the first and the thirtieth day of radiotherapy by electronic pulmometer and quality of life instruments for cancer patients-general module respectively. Results The indicators of pulmonary function at thirtieth day of patients in each group were lower than those at the first day, the intragroup differences were significantly (t=2.17-6.32, P<0.01), whereas no significantly different among intergroups (P>0.05). Scores of quality of life of the retracting-lip breathing group were (78.74±5.51) points, the blowing balloons group were (78.43 ± 7.41) points, the resisting respiratory exercise group were (79.11 ± 8.84) points, which were significantly increased than that of control group (73.01 ± 7.46) points(F=3.00, P < 0.05). Conclusions The pulmonary function of patients with thoracic cancer radiotherapy significantly reduces after radiotherapy. Three kinds of respiratory training show no effects on pulmonary function, but the quality of life of patients with thoracic cancer radiotherapy could be improved.

6.Research progress on the migration of intravitreal dexamethasone implant into anterior chamber
International Eye Science 2024;24(9):1438-1442
Dexamethasone intravitreal implant(Ozurdex)is approved for the treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, and non-infectious uveitis. It has also been reported to treat macular edema after intraocular surgery and macular edema secondary to other inflammation-related ocular fundus diseases. With the widespread application of dexamethasone intravitreal implant, uncommon complications such as migration of dexamethasone intravitreal implant into the anterior chamber are gradually receiving attention. Anterior chamber migration of dexamethasone intravitreal implant usually occurs in the eyes with an incomplete complex of suspensory ligament and lens capsule or after vitrectomy. After dexamethasone intravitreal implant migrates into the anterior chamber, it tends to sink to a lower angle, resembling hypopyon, causing vision impairment and eye pain, accompanied by corneal edema and intraocular hypertension. If corneal edema occurs, dexamethasone intravitreal implant should be repositioned or removed as soon as possible to reduce the risk of corneal endothelial decompensation. Miosis and avoiding predispositions, such as lying prone, jumping, or long flights, can prevent dexamethasone intravitreal implant from migrating into the anterior chamber. In this paper, the recent advances in anterior chamber migration of dexamethasone intravitreal implant are reviewed to provide a reference for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Objective To describe the level of self-perceived burden (SPB) and analyze its influencing factors among the patients with advanced lung cancer, in order to provide a theoretical basis for individualized nursing care. Methods A total of 102 hospitalized patients with lung cancer from 3 hospitals in Shandong province were investigated by the Self-Perceived Burden Scale for Cancer Patient (SPBS-CP). Results The total score of the SPBS-CP was (60.31±17.06) points, which indicated at a moderate level. Those patients rated the highest score on the sub-scale of economic/family burden (22.04±6.72) points, the lowest score on the sub scale of care burden (10.28±3.62) points. Single factor analysis and regression results showed that different work conditions, different stages were related with SPB. Conclusions Patients with moderate and advanced lung cancer had a moderate or higher level of SPB. Staff nurses should focus on the psychological status of the patients and take positive interventions to release the negative emotional experiences.

Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of stigma among patients with lung cancer, in order to provide evidence for staff nurses to take pertinent interventions for assisting patients to deal with stigma. Methods Totally 234 hospitalized patients with lung cancer were cross-sectional survey with General Demographic Questionnaire, Disease Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of Cataldo Lung Cancer Stigma Scale (CLCSS-CV). Results The total score of stigma was (72.35±10.85) points. The total scale score and each subscale score was divided by the item number. The mean score of CLCSS-CV was (2.68±0.40) points, the rate of the patients with lung cancer with moderate above stigma was 51.20% (120/234). The patients rated higher scores on the subscales of smoking (2.90±0.58) points, while lower scores on the subscales of discrimination (2.47 ±0.55) points. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the number of children and the clinical stages were influencing factors of lung cancer stigma, where regression coefficients were -0.065, 0.136 respectively, coefficients of determination was 0.178. Conclusions Patients with lung cancer have a moderate or higher level of stigma. The medical staff should communicate with patients, evaluate the psychological status, impose public health education, mobilize the social support for assisting them to deal with stigma.
