Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(16):1259-1261
Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of Ginger Vinegar Mud sticking on Shenque acupoint on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) aftertotal hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), which can provide the basis for application of Ginger Vinegar Mud treatment. Methods A total of 80 patients who used the general anesthesia, were chosen according to the stochastic indicator method. They were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 40 cases in each group.The patients in both groups were given routine drug treatment and nursing according to the THA/TKA clinical pathway, based on this, the experimental group used Ginger Vinegar Mud to stick Shenque acupoint, while the control group was given dressings of the same appearance. The incidence of PONV was recorded 0-8 h, 9-12 h,13-24 h after surgery respectively. Results The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the experimental group 0-8 h was 25%(10/40), 15%(6/40),9-12 h was 20%(8/40), 10%(4/40),13-24 h was 10%(4/40), 0. While in the control group, they were 55%(22/40), 30%(12/40);40%(16/40), 25%(10/40); 30% (12/40) and 15%(6/40) respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 =58.23-80.23, P<0.05). Conclusions Using Ginger Vinegar Mud to stick Shenque acupoint can reduce the incidence rate of PONV under general anesthesia, the effect is distinct and this method is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To discuss the influence of Yin yoga for Ⅰ, Ⅱ knee osteoarthritis patients'quality of life and anxiety. Methods Divided 98 patients of Joint department outpatient service with joint specializes into the experimental group and the control group by random number method, there were 49 cases in each group, two group patients all have routine drug therapy that according to the guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of knee osteoarthritis in 2015,and accept the routine health education of orthopaedic. On the basis of this, the experimental group accept Yin yoga exercise training by a professional yoga teacher and nurse, they also followed up the two group of patients for 1 year. And adopting health questionnaire (SF-36) to assess the patient's quality of life on the same day, which they see the doctor ,3 months, 6 months, 12 months, they also use Self-evaluation of the anxiety scale (SAS) to assess the patient's anxiety. Results SAS scores before and after the intervention of patients in the experimental group was (57.14 ± 5.92) and (37.92 ± 3.07) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t=15.64, P<0.05), while the difference in the control group was not significant, (57.03 ± 6.18) points vs (53.18 ± 3.16) points , P > 0.05. Physiological function, physiological function, body pain, general health, energy, social function, emotional function, mental health of experimental group patients after 12 months intervention was (79.23 ± 9.15), (56.79 ± 13.20), (78.32 ± 10.15), (44.50 ± 11.92), (64.85 ± 9.72), (83.90 ± 11.61), (62.13 ± 18.72), (67.33 ± 8.50) points respectively, while in the control group was (70.22 ± 10.13), (32.12 ± 11.07), (60.14 ± 9.56), (39.40 ± 10.27), (48.66 ± 7.52), (67.62 ± 12.13), (43.23±14.89), (57.00±8.13) points respectively, the difference between the two groups was significant(t=3.18-15.54, P<0.05 or<0.01).

Objective To explore the differences and development of executive function(EF) between cerebral palsy(CP) children and normal children. Methods Forty-eight 4 ~6 years old CP children and fiftyeight normal children were tested by "cool" and "hot" EFs. Results There were significant differences between "cool" EF of CP children(18.34±14.31) and normal children(6.94 ±3. 18) ( t = 3. 83, P<0.01 ) ;and there were significant differences between "hot" EF of CP children(279.67 ±330. 18) and normal children(709.31 ± 304. 13)( t = -4.93, P< 0.01). There were significant age differences on the "cool" EF ( F=8.689, P< 0.01) and "hot" EF ( F=3. 833, P<0.05) of CP children. There were significant age differences on the "cool" EF ( F= 15.469, P<0.01) and on the "hot" EF ( F=8.470, P<0.01) of normal children. There was negative correlation between "cool" EFs and "hot" EFs( r= -0.440, P<0.01). Conclusion "Cool" and "hot" EFs of CP children are lower than those of normal children. "Cool" and "hot" EFs can develop from 4 to 6 years old,but the development of EFs are not absolutely consistent between CP children and normal children. There is correlation between "cool" and "hot" EFs in patients with CP,but not dissociation.

Objective: To explore the application value on combined examination of blood levels of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and NT-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for their recent prognosis.
Methods: A total of 102 patients with sudden cardiac arrest and successful CPR in our hospital were enrolled. Blood levels of GDF-15 were examined at immediately, 12 h and 24-48 h after CPR respectively. According to GDF-15 levels, the patients were divided into 3 groups: Group A, the patients with GDF-15<1200 ng/L at all-time points,n=31; Group B, GDF-15 level consistently increasing and GDF-15>1200 ng/L at all-time points,n=35; Group C, GDF-15 level consistently increasing at 12 h and 24-48 h after CPR, while it was lower at 24-48 h than 12 h after CPR,n=36. Blood levels of NT-proBNP and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were also examined. The patients were followed-up for 6 months for post-CPR death.
Results: Blood levels of GDF-15 and NT-proBNP were related, NT-proBNP level was changing with GDF-15 varying. GDF-15 and NT-proBNP level was negatively related to LVEF (r=-0.530,P<0.001), the patients with GDF-15>1800 ng/L and NT-proBNP>400 pg/ml had the higher mortality than those had the lower levels of GDF-15 and NT-proBNP,P<0.05. Survival analysis presented that 6 months survival rate in Group B was lower than Group A and Group C,P<0.05; survival rate was similar between Group A and Group C,P>0.05.
Conclusion: Combined examination for blood levels of GDF-15 and NT-proBNP may better predict the recent prognosis in patients who received CPR.

Objective To analyze the treatment efficacy and safety of a modified GMALL protocol for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods Data of 37 patients with newly diagnosed adult ALL treated with a modified GMALL protocol from January 2005 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed,and compared with that of 44 patients treated with an in-house conventional protocol at the same period.Results The complete remission (CR) rate was 89.2 %(33/37) treated with modified GMALL protocol. The cumulative overall survival (OS) rates at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years and 4 years were 77.5 %, 48.0 %, 40.0 %and 40.0 %, respectively. The main adverse events were grade 3 or grade 4 hematological toxicities and infections which were easily managed, and the treatment-related mortality rate was low. The OS of modified GMALL protocol was superior to that of the conventional protocol. Conclusion The modified GMALL protocol has a satisfying effect and the adverse events can be tolerated for adult ALL, so its clinical application can be encouraged.
