Objective To evaluate the effects of modulated, medium frequency electrotherapy on hemodynamics after thoracic surgery to provide non-pharmacological measures for preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Methods Seventy thoracic surgery patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups received conventional treatment and nursing. The experimental group (35 patients) was treated with modulated, medium frequency electrotherapy additionally while the control group (35 patients) was not. The vein systolic maximum velocity (Vmax), vein diastolic minimum velocity (Vmin) and time-averaged mean velocity (TAVM) in the femoral vein, the superficial femoral vein, the deep femoral vein, the popliteal vein and the anterior tibial vein were observed before the operation, 4h after the operation, just after 20 minutes of electrotherapy, 15 min after the electrotherapy and 30 min after the electrotherapy. Results There were significant differences among the time points in the experimental group. There was no significant difference among the time points in the control group.There were significant differences in lower extremity hemodynamics between the experimental group and the control group at end of the electrotherapy session, but no significant differences at the later time points. Conclusions Modulated, medium frequency electrotherapy has a significant effect on lower extremity hemodynamics. It is an effective method for DVT prophylaxis in perioperative thoracic surgical patients.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion combined with uterine myomectomy for uterine myomas.Methods 120 patients with uterine fibroids were selected and randomly divided into research group and control group according to the digital table,60 cases in each group.Patients of the control group directly received conventional laparoscopic myomectomy,and patients of the research group received uterine artery occlusion before laparoscopic myomectomy.The intraoperative blood loss,operative time,postoperative anal exhaust time,hospitalization time of the two groups were observed and recorded.The patients were followed up with menstrual with improvement and luteinizing hormone,estradiol,follicle stimulating hormone.Results The intraoperative blood loss,operative time,postoperative anal exhaust time,menstrual improvement,fibroids relapse and other indicators of the research group were better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant [(82.85 ± 19.32) mL vs.(153.26 ± 21.18) mL,(60.56 ± 12.21) min vs.(153.38 ± 21.34) min,(15.62 ± 1.66) h vs.(25.03 ± 1.98) h,96.7 ％ vs.78.3 ％,3.3 ％ vs.16.7 ％,t =28.06,27.67,28.21,x2 =9.21,5.92,all P ＜ 0.05].Two months after operation,the E2 and FSH levels of the research group were significantly different with those before operation (t =3.90,3.51,all P ＜ 0.05),but after 12 months,there were no statistically significant differences in E2,FSH and LH compared with before operation (t =0.42,0.50,P =0.68,0.62).There were no statistically significant differences in E2,FSH and LH compared with before operation at two or twelve months after operation(t =0.19,0.39,0.69,P =0.85,0.70,0.49;t =0.58,0.20,0.37,P =0.56,0.83,0.71).Conclusion Uterine artery occlusion before laparoscopic myomectomy can significantly reduce blood loss,shorten the operation time,speed up the recovery and reduce the recurrence rate,and its influence on ovarian function is temporary and reversible,it is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective To evaluate the effect of breathing exercise program (shrinking lips abdominal breathing combined with vertical breathing gymnastics) on dyspnea, pulmonary function, exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods A total of 90 hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COPD were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 45 cases in each group. The experimental group lost one case and the control group lost three cases, 86 patients finished the experiment. During hospitalization, on the base of conventional treatment and care, the experimental group
received training of shrinking lips abdominal breathing combined with vertical breathing gymnastics after medical staff′s care, with folk music as the background. Exercise frequency:morning, afternoon, 2 times per day, 15 min per time and continue to exercise with researchers′ guidance after discharge. In the control group:take exercises by self, take routine follow-up after discharge. The intervention continued for three months. The indicators such as dyspnea, pulmonary function, exercise tolerance and life quality of both groups were assessed respectively before and after the intervention. Results There were no significant differences in dyspnea symptoms, lung function, exercise endurance, quality of life between two groups before intervention (P>0.05). The dyspnea scored 1.43±0.87 after intervention in the experimental group, and 1.93 ±0.97 in the control group, there was significant difference (Z=-2.293, P=0.022). The 6 min walking test distance was (371.34 ± 67.74) m after intervention in the experimental group, and (301.57 ± 61.67) m in the control group, there was significant difference(t = 4.988, P =0.000). The St. George′s Respiratory Questionnaire (respiratory symptoms, limited activity, influence disease) score and total score were 54.73 ± 11.96, 52.55 ± 14.48, 55.45 ± 10.01, 54.56 ± 10.79 after intervention in experimental group respectively, and 61.19 ± 10.72, 61.35 ± 14.66, 60.48 ± 9.39, 60.93 ± 10.16 in the control group, there were significant differences(t=-2.815--2.397, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in lung function after intervention between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The program of shrinking lips abdominal breathing combined with vertical breathing gymnastics can relieve dyspnea in patients with moderate to severe COPD, improve exercise tolerance and quality of life, which is a safe and effective rehabilitation for patients with COPD.

Objective To evaluate the harmful effects of olanzapine and quetiapine therapeusis on swallowing ability in patients with Alzheimer'disease (AD).Methods AD inpatients with behavioral and psychological symptoms were randomly divided into two groups,treated with olanzapine (n=42) or quetiapine (n=38) for 6 weeks.The patients were assessed with Kubota's water swallowing test and arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2) monitoring pre and pro treatment.Results After treatment,a significant higher score of water swallowing test (t =2.682,2.040;both P＜ 0.05)in either of two groups,and a significant raised degrade of SaO2 only in olanzapine group(t=4.313,P＜0.01)but not in quetiapine group (P＞0.05)were observed.There was a significant higher degrade of SaO2 in olanzapine group than that in quetiapine group (t=2.155,P＜0.05)at 6 weekend of the study.Before pharmacon,about 29％ (23/80) AD subjects were diagnosed as dysphagia.After pharmacon,more emerging dysphagia patients were surveyed in olanzapine group compared with that in quetiapine group(9/31 vs 2/26,x2=4.135,P＜0.05).No significant change (both P＞0.05) in scores of mini-mental state examination(MMSE) and a significant reduced score(t=3.019,2.867;both P＜0.01)of behavioral pathology in Alzheimer'disease rating scale (BEHAVE-AD) were found in both two groups at the end of study.There was no difference among the two groups with regard to score of MMSE or BEHAVE-AD after treatment(both P＞0.05).Conclusion Either olanzapine or quetiapine therapeutics might do some harmful effects on swallowing function in patients with AD,especially the former.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Guangdong Shenqu (GSQ) on intestinal flora structure in mice with food stagnation through 16S rDNA sequencing. Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to control, model, GSQ low-dose (GSQL), GSQ medium-dose (GSQM), GSQ high-dose (GSQH), and lacidophilin tablets (LAB) groups, with each group containing 10 mice. A food stagnation and internal heat mouse model was established through intragastric administration of a mixture of beeswax and olive oil (1:15). The control group was administered normal saline, and the model group was administered beeswax and olive oil to maintain a state. The GSQL (2 g/kg), GSQM (4 g/kg), GSQH (8 g/kg), and LAB groups (0.625 g/kg) were administered corresponding drugs for 5 d. After administration, 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to assess gut microbiota in mouse fecal samples. Results: The model group exhibited significant intestinal flora changes. Following GSQ administration, the abundance and diversity index of the intestinal flora increased significantly, the number of bacterial species was regulated, and α and β diversity were improved. GSQ administration increased the abundance of probiotics, including Clostridia, Lachnospirales, and Lactobacillus, whereas the abundance of conditional pathogenic bacteria, such as Allobaculum, Erysipelotrichaceae, and Bacteroides decreased. Functional prediction analysis indicated that the pathogenesis of food stagnation and GSQ intervention were primarily associated with carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, among other metabolic pathways. Conclusion The digestive mechanism of GSQ may be attributed to its role in restoring diversity and abundance within the intestinal flora, thereby improving the composition and structure of the intestinal flora in mice and subsequently influencing the regulation of metabolic pathways.

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:To understand the status of frailty in postoperative gastric cancer patients and to explore its influence on symptom groups during the initial oral chemotherapy. Provide theoretical guidance for symptom management of cancer patients.Methods:A total of 133 postoperative gastric cancer patients who received initial oral chemotherapy were selected as subjects by cross section survey from Octomber 2021 to Octomber 2022 in Department of Oncology, First People′s Hospital of Changzhou by couvenient sampling method. Baseline data of patients before chemotherapy were investigated by general data questionnaire and Frailty Phenotype. Symptoms on the 2nd and 14th day of chemotherapy were investigated by M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory-Gastrointestinal Cancer Module.Results:The incidence of frailty in postoperative gastric cancer patients was 48.9% (65/133). On the 2nd day of chemotherapy, there were four symptom clusters, namely emotional symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster, disease related symptom cluster and neurological symptom cluster, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 61.20%. On the 14th day of chemotherapy, there were five symptom clusters after gastric cancer specific symptom cluster appeared. and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.90%. On the 2nd day of chemotherapy, frailty had statistical significance on emotional symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster andneurological symptom cluster ( t = 3.52, 2.66, 5.48, all P<0.05), which explained 7.2%, 4.1% and 15.1% of symptom group severity, respectively. On the 14th day of chemotherapy, frailty still had statistical significance on emotional symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster and neurological symptom cluster ( t = 3.41, 5.47, 4.06, all P<0.05), which explained 7.1%, 13.2% and 9.6% of symptom group severity, respectively. Conclusions:The incidence of frailty in patients with postoperative gastric cancer was at a relatively high level. The emotional symptom cluster, gastrointestinal symptom cluster, and neurological system related symptom cluster in patients with frailty were more serious at different time points.

Objective To investigate the expressions of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) and phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-Akt) proteins in colorectal cancer and their clinical significances, in order to explore the roles of Oct4 and p-Akt in the staging and grading of colorectal cancer. Methods Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine the expression of Oct4 and p-Akt proteins in 78 cases of colorectal cancer in Wuxi Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Wuxi First People's Hospital from January 2011 to December 2016. Relationship between expressions of Oct4 and p-Akt proteins and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed. Results The positive rate of Oct4 in tumors was 74.36 % (58/78), which was obviously higher than that in normal tissues [35.90 % (20/78), χ2= 23.32, P < 0.01]; and the positive rate of p-Akt in tumors was 67.95 % (53/78), which was obviously higher than that in normal tissues[28.21 %(25/78),χ2=24.68,P <0.01].The double positive and negative expression rate of these two proteins accounted for 80.8 %(63/78), with a linear positive correlation (r= 0.455, P < 0.000 1). In 78 cases of colorectal cancer, the expression of Oct4 protein was correlated with histological grade, lymph node metastasis, and Duke staging (all P < 0.05), and the expression of p-Akt protein was correlated with histological grade and lymph node metastasis (both P < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the expression of Oct4 protein was related to histological grade and Duke staging(both P<0.05),and the expression of p-Akt protein was only related to lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Conclusion The combined detection of Oct4 protein and p-Akt protein has reliable and important clinical significance for judging the histological grade,lymph node metastasis and Duke staging of colorectal cancer.
