Objective To explore the constraint effect of self - made binding sheets to restless patients. Methods Using soft canvas and thick qualitative cotton for sheets making. 100 cases of Neurusurgery JCAHO into patients of level 2~3 were, randomly divided into 52 cases of obeservation group and 48 cases of control group, then use self - made binding sheets and traditional binding sheets respectively for the purpose of protective constraint. Re-sults The interference treatment and skin damage of the observation group, and the psychological pressure of nursing staff were significantly lower than those in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions With self - made binding sheets the patients have integrity constraints, and the result is better than the traditional one.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the types of constitution in TCM and the sleep status in the PLA Navy divers. Methods Eighty-nine PLA Navy divers who performed 10m diving professional training were selected. Constitution in TCM was classified and determined by the standardized standard Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire, sleep status was evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results 62.9% of Navy divers were the mild constitution in TCM. The eight kinds of the biased constitution in TCM are ranked with yang deficiency, phlegm-dampness, dampness-heat, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, blood stasis, qi stagnation and special intrinsic quality. Among 78 Navy divers with good sleep quality, there were 49 divers (72.1%) with the mild constitution in TCM and 19 (27.9%) with the biased constitution in TCM. Among 21 Navy divers with poor sleep quality, there were 7 divers (33.3%) with the mild constitution in TCM (accounting for) and 14 (66.7%) with the biased constitution in TCM. For Navy divers with poor sleep quality, the sleep quality scores were positive correlated with the blood stasis constitution in TCM (r=0.481,P<0.05). Conclusion Sleep status is correlated with the types of the constitution in TCM, and regulating constitution in TCM can improve sleep quality in PLA Navy divers.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the management of infant vascular tumors with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) and to evaluate the effect of drug combined with sclerotherapy.
METHODSFrom Feb. 2007 to Nov. 2014, 25 cases with KMP, who underwent drug therapy combined with sclerotherapy, were retrospectively studied. Oral corticosteroids (2 mg/kg per day) was used as the first-line therapy on all of the patients and intravenous vincristine (1.5 mg/m2 every week) was added when the platelet counts didn't recover obviously after 2-3 weeks. After the recovery of the platelet counts, the patients were admitted for sclerotherapy (average, 4.56 sessions per case) with 100% alcohol (1-3 ml per session), Lauromacrogol (1.25-5 ml per session) and betamethasone (0.25-1 ml per session). All the patients were followed up for 42 months ( range, 9 months to 6.5 years). Therapeutic outcomes were assessed by evaluating platelet counts, size of lesion, function of trunk and limb.
RESULTSAll the 25 cases got obvious recovery in the platelet counts [average, (94.3 ± 18.5) x 10(9)/L] after drug therapy, of which 16 were treated by single oral corticosteroids for 4-7 weeks and 9 were treated by corticosteroids plus intravenous vincristine for 2-5 weeks. Meantime, 11 cases received platelet transfusions, of which 3 were coupled with gamma globulin intramuscularly. During the first admission, each of the 25 cases received 1-4 sessions of sclerotherapy (average, 2.6 sessions each case). One week after the sclerotherapy, the platelet counts returned to (167-312) x 10(9)/L (average, (258.5 ± 34.4) x 10(9)/L). The hemoglobin and blood coagulation function returned to normal within 1-5 weeks. Meanwhile the mental condition, appetite, body weight, sleeping were greatly improved. The size of the lesions decreased gradually after the combined therapy including 13 cases within 3-12 months and 13 cases within 13-36 months. Long term follow-up indicated that only 1 case need treatment for recurrent decrease of platelet counts, and all of the 25 cases kept the normal weight, height, immunity as well as the growing development.
CONCLUSIONSOral corticosteroids plus intravenous vincristine combined with sclerotherapy is a reliable management with high cure rate, short course and minor side-effect.

Objective:To discuss the protective effect of Syringin (SYR) on myotube cell atrophy induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its molecular mechanism.Methods:After C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes, they were divided into normal control group, model group and syringin group according to the random number table method. The cultured medium of model group and syringin group were added with LPS with a concentration of 200 ng/ml; the cultured medium of the syringin group was also added with 10 μmol/L syringin for 24 h. CCK8 was used to detect cell viability. In cell supernatant, NO release was detected with Griess and TNF-α level was detected by ELISA kit. The expression of NF-κB, PPAR γ1, MyHC were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the model group, the viability of cells [(101.08±8.92)%, (79.53±5.19)% vs. (69.07±7.16)%] in the 10 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L syringin groups were significantly increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.01), of which 10 μmol/L syringin had better effect. Compared with the model group, the level of NO [(2.92±0.33) μmol/L vs. (3.57±0.41) μmol/L] in the syringin group was significantly decreased after 6 hours of intervention ( P<0.01), and the cells in the syringin group after 24 hours of intervention, the level of TNF-α [(2.73±0.29) pg/ml vs. (4.15±0.29) pg/ml] was significantly decreased ( P<0.01), and the protein expression of cellular NF-κB (0.95±0.24 vs. 1.16±0.28) was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the protein expression of MyHC (0.79±0.15 vs. 0.70±0.16) was increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SYR could inhibit the inflammatory response induced by LPS, promote the activity of myotubes, and antagonize the damage of LPS to myotube cells.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence related to intermittent catheterization in adult patients with neurogenic bladder, and provide reference for clinical practice and patient self-management.Methods:According to the "6S" pyramid model, the system searched UpToDate, Guidelines International Network, European Association of Urology, UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Scottish Interhospital Guidelines Network, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EmBase, EBSCO, OVID, Scopus, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Yimaitong, literature on intermittent catheterization of neurogenic bladder in adults, including clinical decision, best practice, guidelines, expert consensus, etc. The retrieval period was from the database establishment to August 2023. The search time was established until August 2023. The literature was screened by two research members, and four research members evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted the evidence.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 1 evidence summary, 4 systematic reviews, 5 guidelines, 2 expert consensus, and 1 best practice. Finally, 31 pieces of best evidence were summarized, involving 5 aspects such as intermittent catheterization (IC) indication, IC timing, IC implementation process, IC health education, extended care.Conclusions:The evidence summary strictly follows the evidence-based process and the content of the evidence is comprehensive. The incidence of neurogenic bladder complications can be reduced by comprehensive management of intermittent catheterization, ultimately improving the quality of care. The localization characteristics should be combined in the application of evidence to improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical characteristics caused by acute poisoning by inhalation of hydrogen chloride (HCl) and to raise awareness and treatment level of the disease.
Methods:
The clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of 5 patients with acute HCl poisoning were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Among the 5 cases of HCl poisoning, 2 cases were severe poisoning, 3 cases were moderate poisoning. All patients were treated with corticosteroids and symptomatic treatment, one of them was treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) . All patients were recovered and discharged from hospital.
Conclusion
