Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of exercise cupping plus acupuncture in treating acute lumbar sprain. Method Sixty-four patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 32 cases each. The treatment group received exercise cupping plus acupuncture and the control group, acupuncture alone. After one treatment and one course of treatment, the therapeutic effects were evaluated using the VAS for pain, lumbar joint activity and the clinical effect assessment. Result After one course of treatment, the total efficacy rate was 96.9% in the treatment group, which was significantly higher than 84.4% in the control group (P<0.05). After one treatment and one course of treatment, the VAS score was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05) and lumbar joint activity improved significantly in the treatment group compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exercise cupping plus acupuncture is more effective than acupuncture alone in treating acute lumbar sprain.

Objective To explore an effective perioperative nursing management mode for elderly patients without caregivers. Methods The perioperative nursing management mode was implemented for 151 elderly patients without caregivers from 9 surgery departments. The work mode included admission safety assessment,nursing care classification,design of clinical nursing pathway,establishment of nursing group and quality control. Results The new work mode provided elderly patients with high-quality nursing care,ensured patient safety,increased patient and relatives satisfaction. Conclusion The perioperative nursing management mode is an effective way to ensure patient safety and promote patient comfort during perioperative period for elderly patients without caregivers.

Objective To investigate and improve the occupational environment of nursing staff in tertiary hospitals.Methods By using questionnaire on nurse′s occupational environment carried out by nursing center of National Institute of Health Planning Hospital Management, 672 nurses from a tertiary hospital in Guangxi were investigated without signature online on the national nursing quality data platform.Results The total score of occupational environment of 672 nurses was (69.85±20.73). Among all the items, the score of training plan for new nurses got a relatively high score (87.02±18.79); the score of clear occupational exposure process within hospital and its implementation was (84.57±19.91); and the items got low score included the chance of nurses to participate in hospital management decision (50.84±31.93) and an appropriate system of salary allotment (53.53±31.84). The scores of nurses with different educational background,working seniorities, professional titles and weather be enlisted were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions It is significant for the safety of patients and development of nursing department to establish a system which includes providing the chance for nurses to participate in hospital management, improving salary of nurses, emphasizing the development of nursing specialty and building a harmoniously occupational environment.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, therapeutic modalities and prognosis of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) in children, and to summarize the international research progress.Methods:A total of 8 children with DSRCT admitted to Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University, School of Medicine, from January 1999 to August 2019 were retrospectively studied.The clinical characteristics, consultation process and follow-up results were summarized, and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis method was used to calculate the survival rate.Results:Among these 8 cases, there were 6 male children and 2 female children.Seven cases originated in the abdomen and pelvis, and 1 case originated in the sacral region.All cases had infiltrate surrounding tissues or viscera, and 4 cases(50%) had extra-peritoneal metastasis, including distant lymph node metastasis, liver, lung and bone metastasis.All patients received chemotherapy, among which 3 patients received radiotherapy, and 2 patients received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.The medical follow-up was continued to February 15, 2020, with the median follow-up period being 59 months.Three cases died and 5 cases survived (2 cases in complete remission, 1 case in recurrent relapse, 2 cases in partial remission still under treatment). The median relapse time was 14.5 months, the 3-year relapse-free survival rate was (30.0±17.5)%, and 3-year overall survival was (51.4±20.4)%.Conclusions:Half of DSRCT had distant metastasis; the prognosis was poor despite the aggressive multimodality therapeutic approaches, such as chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery, and whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

Objective To observe the effects of dual-task motor training on motor and balance function for stroke patients. Methods From January, 2016 to June, 2017, 30 patients with stroke were assigned randomly into control group (n = 15) and treatment group (n = 15). Both groups accepted routine physical therapy, the control group accepted anti-gravity treadmill training, while the treatment group accepted dual-task training with anti-gravity treadmill, for four weeks. They were measured with balance training and evaluation system, and assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-lower extremity (FMA-L), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), before and after treatment. Results The range of swaying on X axial (Rx) and Y axial (Ry), as well as rectangle area (RecArea) decreased after treatment in the treatment group (t > 4.719, P < 0.001), while RecArea decreased in the control group (t = 5.069, P < 0.001). Ry and RecArea were less in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.288, P < 0.05). The scores of FMA-L, BBS and MBI improved after treatment in both groups (t > 7.316, P < 0.001), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t > 2.322, P < 0.05). Conclusion The dual-task training via anti-gravity treadmill may improve motor and balance function in stroke patients, and promote the activities of daily living.
