Objective To explore the effects of postoperative nursing on patients′ postoperative safety and and rehabilitation process after total knee arthroplasty ( TKA ) that based on concept of fast-tract surgery (FTS).Methods Totally 200 patients who had surgery for total knee arthroplasty from January 2013 to July 2014 were randomly assigned to the routine group (n=100) and the FTS group (n=100). Patients in the routine group were received routine postoperative nursing, while patients in the FTS group received optimized postoperative nursing that based on FTS concept. The time to start eating after surgery, VAS pain score, the removal time of urethral catheter and drainage tube, the first off-bed activity time after operation,the recover speed of knee joint function and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between two groups.Results Compared with the routine group, the time to start eating after surgery in the FTS group was (4.56±0.33) h;the removal time of urethral catheter was (15.12±3.43) h; the removal time of drainage tube was (17.43±3.91) h, and they were all shorten ( t=21.82,31.60,14.99;P<0.01) . The pain score in the FTS group within 3 d after surgery was (1.39±1.12), and was lower than that in the routine group (t=10.993,P<0.01); in the FTS group, the first off-bed activity time after surgery was (16.72±2.01)h;the time of actively straight leg raising was (18.2±6.3)h;the time of actively bending knees for 90 degree was (3.5±1.7) h, and they were all markedly advanced (t=57. 23,8.885,4.545;P<0.01) . There were 6 cases of complications that caused by pain in the routine group, while there were none in the FTS group ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in cases with other complications between two groups ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusions Application of optimization postoperative nursing scheme for total knee arthroplasty based on FTS is safe. It can shorten the time to start eating after surgery, reduce postoperative pain levels, promote the postoperative early ambulation, and has no adverse effect on the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of pediatric glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1 DS), evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet therapy (KDT).Methods:Clinical data of 19 children with GLUT1 DS admitted to Children′s Hospital of Fudan University, Tianjin Children′s Hospital, Shenzhen Children′s Hospital, Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Jiangxi Provincial Children′s Hospital between 2015 and 2019 were collected retrospectively. The first onset symptom, main clinical manifestations, cerebrospinal fluid features and genetic testing results of patients were summarized, the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet treatment were analyzed. Results:Among the 19 cases, 13 were males and 6 females. The age of onset was 11.0 (1.5-45.0) months,the age of diagnosis was 54.0 (2.8-132.0) months. Epilepsy was the first onset symptom of 13 cases. Different forms of tonic-clonic seizures were the most common types of epilepsy (7 cases with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, 5 cases with focal tonic or clonic seizures, 4 cases with generalized tonic seizures). Antiepileptic drugs were effective in 4 cases. Paroxysmal motor dysfunction was present in 12 cases and ataxia was the most common one. All patients had different degrees of psychomotor retardation. Among 17 patients received cerebrospinal fluid examination, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose level was lower than 2.2 mmol/L and CSF glucose/glycemic index was<0.45 in 16 cases, only 1 case presented normal CSF glucose level (2.3 mmol/L) and normal CSF glucose/glycemic index(0.47). SLC2A1 gene mutations were found in 16 patients, missense, frameshift and nonsense mutations were the common types with 5 cases, 5 cases and 3 cases respectively. All 19 patients were treated with ketogenic diet, which was effective in 18 cases in seizure control, 11 cases in dyskinesia improvement and 18 cases in cognitive function improvement. No serious side effects were reported in any stage of KDT.Conclusions:The diagnosis of GLUT1 DS is often late. It is necessary to improve the early recognition of the disease and perform CSF glucose detection and genetic testing as early as possible. The KDT is an effective and safe treatment for GLUT1 DS, but a small number of patients have not response to diet therapy.
