Objective To explore the curative effect of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treatment of recurrence of kidney stones after open operation.Methods 56 patients with postoperative recurrence of renalcalculi were retrospectively reviewed.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group.The observation group was treated by minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy,while the control group received the open operation.The stone clearance rate,operation time and hospitalization time of the two groups were compared.Results The stone clearance rate in the observation group was 92.86%,which was significantly higher than 64.29% of the control group (x2 =11.37,P < 0.05) ; The average operation time in the control group was (131.8 ± 8.9)min,which was more than (92.5 ± 5.4)min of the observation group ;The average hospital stay in the control group was (19.7 ± 3.2) days,which was more than (10.4 ± 2.6)days of the observation group,the differences were statistically significant (t =16.38,17.25,all P <0.05).Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy can improve the stone clearance rate in treatment of recurrent renal calculi after open operation,which can shorten the operation time and hospital stay,it is worth the clinical promotion.

Myasthenia gravis crisis (MC) often involves respiratory muscles and requires mechanical ventilation urgently. As non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) technology unceasing development, its use in acute respiratory failure caused by MC shows obvious advantages. However, how to identify the occurrence of MC at early stage, predict the relevant indicators of NIV for MC treatment, and apply different ventilation strategies to improve the effect of treatment are worthy of attention. In addition, the new development of NIV modes in recent years also provides new direction for the treatment of MC. Therefore, this article reviews recent advance in the clinical application of NIV in MC to provide clinical references.

Objective To explore the status quo of medication belief in the patients with myasthenia gravis and analyze their influencing factors,so as to provide reference for health care professionals to develop targeted interventions.Methods A total of 145 patients with myasthenia gravis visiting the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from July 2021 to March 2022 were selected.The Be-liefs about Medicines Questionnaire(BMQ)was used to investigate.The multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors.Results The scores of medication belief,necessity belief and con-cern belief in 145 patients were(4.17±1.23)points,(19.52±3.45)points and(18.29±4.26)points respec-tively.There was statistically significant difference between the scores of necessity belief and concern belief(P<0.05).The education level,financial burden,duration of illness,length of medication,number of recur-rent hospitalizations,and inappropriate medication-induced exacerbations had influence on the medication be-lief scores of the patients with myasthenia gravis(P<0.05).The duration of illness,length of medication and number of recurrent hospitalizations had the influence on the medication necessity scores of patients with my-asthenia gravis(P<0.05).The financial burden had the influence on the medication concerns scores of the patients with myasthenia gravis(P<0.05).Conclusion The medication belief in the patient swith myasthe-nia gravis is at a low level,and the number of recurrent hospitalizations and financial burden are the independ-ent risk factors affecting the medication belief scores in the patients with myasthenia gravis.The number of recurrent hospitalizations is an independent risk factor for the score of medication necessity dimension.
