OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and sterile effect of low-temperature plasma sterilizer produced by Chinese Academy of Sciences for the sterilization of arthroscope surgical instruments.METHODS To explore the cleaning,package,arrangement and sterile effect monitoring of instruments in the process of arthroscope sterilization using low-temperature plasma sterilizer.RESULTS In the sterilization process of arthroscope surgical instruments using low-temperature plasma sterilizer,the chemical indicators and indicating patch were discolored,the monitoring of bio-box and the sterilization monitoring of surgical instruments were all negative.CONCLUSIONS Using the low-temperature plasma sterilizer machine for the sterilization of endoscope surgical instruments can ensure the security of sterilization,make less injury of precise instruments,shorten the sterilization time,accelerate the surgical turnover,enhance the frequency of surgical instruments application,and increase the efficiency.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a peripheral vestibular disease with the highest incidence rate, and the elderly are the high incidence population. Particle repositioning maneuver, simple and practicable, and has good clinical effects, is recognized as the preferred treatment method for BPPV. However, the elderly patients have a higher prevalence rate, often suffer from multiple chronic diseases, and their various bodily functions have entered a declining stage, with poor response to treatment and a tendency to recur. Based on these, medical staff should continuously improve their professional abilities, and pay attention to and implement some comprehensive and multi-dimensional humanistic care measures from physiological to psychological aspects such as verbal encouragement, behavioral support, and spiritual integration during the diagnosis and treatment process, to improve the quality of life of elderly BPPV patients, reduce medical disputes, and save medical resources.

Objective:To evaluate the influence of an additional roll test on the repositioning procedure by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system for horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo（HC-BPPV）. Methods:A total of 713 patients diagnosed with HC-BPPV in Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery，the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from Jan 2020 to Feb 2022 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups by hospital card numbers, in which the number is odd were considered as group A, and the number is even were considered as group B. The group A underwent two circles of Barbecue repositioning procedure by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system, while the group B first performed an additional roll test and then underwent two circles of Barbecue repositioning procedure by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system, to observe the cure rate and compare influence of HC-BPPV by an additional roll test. The quality of life and sleep of patients before and one-month after the treatment were assessed by the dizziness handicap inventory（DHI） and the pittsburgh sleep quality（PSQI）. Results:The cure rate of group A was 63.21%, and the cure rate of group B was 87.68%，the difference between the two groups was statistically significant（P<0.05）; The DHI score of patients after the repositioning was significantly lower than that before the repositioning（P<0.05）. The PSQI score after the repositioning was significantly lower than that before the repositioning（P<0.05）. The DHI and the PSQI scores after the repositioning were significantly lower than that before the repositioning, with a statistically significant difference （P< 0.05）. The total score of DHI in group B after treatment was lower than that in group A, with a statistically significant difference（P<0.05）. The total score of PSQI in group B after treatment was lower than that in group A, with non-statistically significant difference （P< 0.05）. Conclusion:An additional roll test before the repositioning procedure by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system can significantly improve the cure rate of HC-BPPV, relieve anxiety, and improve the quality of life.

To improve overall satisfaction of patients with the hospital and build a harmonious doctor-patient relationship, a survey on satisfaction of patients with ECG examination was conducted in a tertiary A hospital. The analysis was carried out from the aspects of inspection environment, inspection process, inspection experience and overall satisfaction. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the effect of various variables on satisfaction. This paper found that the overall satisfaction rate of patients with ECG examination was 85.18%, lower than that of outpatients. Patients with different characteristics had different satisfaction degree with ECG examination. Patient satisfaction was lower on Mondays and Wednesdays than that on other inspection days, and was lower between 10 a.m. and 14 p.m. The longer the waiting time, the lower satisfaction degree of patients with examination. Based on the results, hospitals should improve the construction of humanistic soft environment to improve the medical environment, scientifically plan the medical treatment process of ECG examination, and further strengthen doctor-patient communication. The ECG room should further promote its management level and strengthen its cultural construction.

At present， there are many difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of acute vestibular syndrome （AVS）. For example， complex and difficult identification of the cause of disease， uneven diagnosis and treatment levels of clinical doctors， weak humanistic care awareness， lack of communication skills， intrinsic affinity and other reasons， which make it difficult for AVS patients in the process of diagnosis and treatment， and cannot receive timely and effective treatment， resulting in an exacerbation of doctor-patient conflicts. Therefore， it is recommended to explore new paths of AVS diagnosis and treatment work using the humanistic care concept， respect each other between doctors and patients， build a team of medical staff with the value orientation of “humanistic care”， and promote the organic unity of theory and practice of “humanistic care”， with a view to better promoting the implementation of AVS diagnosis and treatment work， helping more patients rebuild confidence， enhancing quality of life， and improving the doctor-patient relationship.

Objective:To investigate the influence of Barbecure combined with Epley on residual dizziness of horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo（HC-BPPV） by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system. Methods:A total of 406 patients diagnosed with HC-BPPV from Nov 2021 to Nov 2022 were enrolled by rapid axial roll test and Dix-Hallpike in the department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The patients were divided into two groups by hospital card numbers, in which the numbers that were odd were considered as group A, and the numbers that were even were considered as group B. The group A underwent two circles of Barbecure repositioning procedure by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system, while the group B underwent two circles Barbecure combined with Epley repositioning procedure by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system. The treatment was stopped on the next day when two groups of patients were cured, and those who were not cured will continue treatment with the same method. Results:The cure rate of group A was 83.41%, and the cure rate of group B was 80.51%, the difference between the two groups was not-statistically significant difference（P>0.05）. The rate of residual dizziness of group A was 23.30%, the rate of residual dizziness of group B was 11.46%, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion:The Barbecure combined with Epley otoliths repositioning maneuver by SRM-vertigo diagnosis system can significantly reduce the rate of residual dizziness after the treatment of HC-BPPV, and improve the quality of life of patients.
