Objective To search for one method which is security firm and effective for trachea intubation in order to avoid unplanned extubation and realize nursing security. Methods 120 cases with severe brain injury and trachea intubation were divided into the observation group and the control group with 60 cases in each group randomly.The trachea intubations was fixed with Y-type plaster in the observation group,the control group used traditional fixation method with two pieces of 3M transparence film.The cases with trachea cannula displacement and unplanned extubation were compared between two groups. Results The cases needed re-fixation of the trachea cannula and with unplanned extubation in the observation group was less than the control group. Conclusions To use Y-type plaster to fix the trachea intubation can effectively prevent unplanned extubation,increase efficiency of clinical nursing work and ensure the security of patients.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the primary tool in investigation of the brain science. It is necessary to carry out a deepgoing study into the characteristics and information hidden in EEGs to meet the needs of the clinical research. In this paper, we present a wavelet-nonlinear dynamic methodology for analysis of nonlinear characteristic of EEGs and delta, theta, alpha, and beta sub-bands. We therefore studied the effectiveness of correlation dimension (CD), largest Lyapunov exponen, and approximate entropy (ApEn) in differentiation between the interictal EEG and ictal EEG based on statistical significance of the differences. The results showed that the nonlinear dynamic char acteristic of EEG and EEG subbands could be used as effective identification statistics in detecting seizures.

The judgment of early curative effect is important to the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the prognosis of the patients.As a rapid imaging technique,magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is used to quantitatively analyze the changes of water molecules in the tissue by means of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),so as to diagnose the small lesions of nasopharyngeal carcinoma accurately,evaluate the early curative effect and observe the prognosis.With the continuous improvement and progress of MRI and data analysis technology,DWI in the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma shows a broader application prospect.

Objective To establish high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)characteristic chromatograms of Xinqingduyin Granules(composed of Taraxaci Herba,Lonicerae Japonicae Flos,Chrysanthemi Indici Flos,etc.)and content determination of chicory acid and glycyrrhizic acid,and to optimize the preparation process of Xinqingduyin Granules.Methods Using the characteristic chromatograms of Xinqingduyin and the retention rate of chicory acid and glycyrrhizic acid as indexes,we carried out orthogonal experiment to optimize the extraction process of Xinqingduyin,and studied the concentration process.The molding process of Xinqingduyin Granules was conducted by screening the types and dosage of auxiliary materials,then three batches of pilot experiments were carried out.Results HPLC characteristic chromatograms of Xinqingshuyin Granules and the determination methods of chicory acid and glycyrrhizic acid were established.The optimal preparation technology was as follows:8 times amount of water was added,the drug was decocted for 3 times,with 1 hour per time.After the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure at 80℃,the appropriate amount of steviol glycoside and lactose was added into the extract and mixed.One-step granulation and packaging were adopted.The retention rates of chicoric acid and glycyrrhizic acid in the 3 batches of Xinqingduyin Granules,which were prepared on the pilot scale,were(54.56±1.63)%and(54.96±1.08)%,and the rate of finished product was(87.47±0.49)%,respectively.The quality is uniform,and the characteristic map of Xinqingduyin Granules showed high similarity with that of decoction prepared from the same batch of slices.Conclusion The optimized preparation technology is reasonable,feasible and reproducible.This preparation can be used to obtain the granule with similar materials of Xinqingduyin decoction.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of bowel preparation quality in hospitalized elderly patients, and to find the appropriate waiting time from the end of bowel preparation to the beginning of colonoscopy.Methods:Baseline and clinical data of elderly patients over 60 years old who underwent colonoscopy in the Tenth People′s Hospital, Tongji University from February 2021 to August 2021 were collected. Multivariate analysis was used to screen the factors that might affect the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients. Patients were grouped according to waiting time before colonoscopy. After eliminating confounding factors using propensity matching analysis, the difference of bowel preparation quality among groups was compared.Results:251 patients were included in the study. Multivariate analysis revealed that, hypertension ( OR=3.530, 95% CI 1.295-9.618), chronic constipation ( OR=3.302,95% CI 1.132-9.632), dietary compliance ( OR=0.161, 95% CI 0.070-0.371), medication and drinking water compliance ( OR=0.167, 95% CI 0.070-0.397), exercise compliance after medication ( OR=2.245, 95% CI 1.040-4.845), The frequency of defecation after medication ( OR=0.446, 95% CI 0.308-0.647) and waiting time ( OR=0.537, 95% CI 0.387-0.745) were important factors affecting the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients ( P<0.05). There were differences in bowel preparation quality between groups of waiting times. The overall quality of bowel preparation in 120-180 min group was significantly better than that in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and>360 min group ( P<0.05). The overall quality of bowel preparation in 181-240 min group was better than that in >360 min group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences among other groups( P>0.05). The scores of cecum and ascending colon were the best in 120-180 min group, and the cleanliness of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum was significantly higher in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. The scores of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum showed that the intestinal preparation quality of 181-240 min group was better than that of 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. Conclusions:The best examination time for elderly patients is about 180 minutes after bowelpreparation. Medical workers should flexibly guide the medication time to ensure that patients are in the best clean state of intestinal tract during examination.
