Objective:To investigate the effects of airway humidification therapy on pertussis in infants.Methods:Sixty children with pertussis who received treatment in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2020 to September 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into study and control groups, with 30 infants per group. The control group was treated with conventional drugs. The study group was subjected to airway humidification therapy based on conventional drug treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated in each group. Time to an improvement in clinical symptoms and length of hospital stay were recorded. Lung function indicators and serum inflammatory factor levels were determined before and after treatment. Pertussis-related complications were recorded.Results:The overall response rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (100.00% vs. 76.7%, χ2 = 5.82, P = 0.016). Time to disappearance of spastic cough, time to resolution of cyanosis, time to disappearance of pulmonary rales, and length of hospital stay in the study group were (3.10 ± 0.67) days, (1.53 ± 0.68) days, (4.27 ± 0.58) days, and (11.57 ± 0.73) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (4.23 ± 1.99) days, (2.67 ± 1.77) days, (5.63 ± 2.38) days, (13.33 ± 2.40) days ( t = 2.93, 3.27, 3.04, 3.86; P = 0.005, 0.002, 0.003, P < 0.001). Respiratory rate in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(21.83 ± 1.15) breaths/minute vs. (24.23 ± 3.12) breaths/minute, t = 3.94, P = 0.002]. Tidal volume/kg body weight, the ratio of time to peak expiratory flow to total expiratory time and the ratio of volume to peak expiratory flow to total expiratory volume in the study group were (10.70 ± 0.81) mL/kg, (41.60 ± 1.57)%, (42.89 ± 1.44)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (9.78 ± 1.34) mL/kg, (39.18 ± 3.37)%, (40.20 ± 3.05)% in the control group ( t = 3.21, 3.56, 4.36; P < 0.001, P = 0.001, P < 0.001). Serum tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 levels in the study group were (62.44 ± 2.96) ng/L, (46.59 ± 1.96) ng/L, (54.63 ± 3.27) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (79.86 ± 3.30) ng/L, (58.20 ± 2.10) ng/L, (63.31 ± 3.86) ng/L in the control group ( t =21.53, 22.13, 9.38, all P < 0.001). The overall incidence of pertussis in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (3.3% vs. 26.7%, χ2 = 4.71, P = 0.030). Conclusion:Airway humidification therapy can shorten the time to reduction of symptoms of spasmodic pertussis, improve clinical efficacy, strengthen pulmonary ventilation function, lower respiratory tract inflammatory responses and reduce the risk of pertussis-related complications.

Objective:To explore the status quo of occupational stress and its influencing factors of nursing staff for orphaned and disabled children in Nanjing, and to put forward measures for adverse reactions to occupational stress, so as to ensure the psychological health of this occupational population.Methods:From February to May 2017, 236 nursing assistants for orphans and disabled children in Nanjing social welfare home were selected by cluster sampling method. The occupational stress index(occupational stress indictor, OSI) was used to investigate occupational stress response and occupational stress factors. Partial correlation and multiple linear regression were used for statistical analysis.Results:The scores of job satisfaction, mental health and depressive symptoms in occupational stress reaction were (43. 99±6. 83) , (36. 09±4. 59) and (17. 31±2. 44) re- spectively. In terms of job satisfaction, work monotony, logic and compound change were the contributing fac- tors ( P<0. 05) , task strategy and task control were negative factors ( P<0. 05) ; on mental health, opportunities were raised and participation in decision-making Self-esteem, technology utilization, environmental control, time management, task strategy and support of colleagues as contributing factors ( P<0. 05) , ambition and role conflicts as negative factors ( P<0. 05) ; on depression, work input, participation Decision-making, promotion opportunities and behavioral characteristics were protective factors ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion:Occupational stress among caregivers of orphans and disabled children cannot be ignored. Occupational stress reaction is serious. Occupational stress factors should be reduced and individual stress coping ability should be enhanced.

It investigated the status of job burnout among nurses of orphans and disabled children, logistic regression analysis was used to explore the effect of occupational stress on the incidence of job burnout of nurses for orphans and disabled children.Results:The results showed that the incidence of job burnout was 67.37% (159/236) , the incidence of job burnout was negatively correlated with behavioral characteristics and family support, the incidence of emotional exhaustion was positively correlated with task control and job monotony ( P<0.05) , and negatively correlated with role ambiguity and job satisfaction ( P<0.05) . The incidence of depersonalization was negatively correlated with job monotony and peer support ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The nurses of orphans and disabled children have serious job burnout. Occupational stress factors, personality characteristics and relieving factors have influence on the incidence of job burnout.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on depressive-like behavior, synaptic plasticity and 5-HTT protein expression of hippocampal CA1 region in the WKY model rats. Methods In this experiment, 10 male Wistar rats were selected as the normal group (Control), and 30 male WKY rats were randomly divided into model group, electroacupuncture group (EA) and sham needle group (Sham EA) . Behavioral testing was performed by the Sour Water Preference Experiment (SPT), the Open Field Experiment (OFT), and the Forced Swimming Experiment (FST) . The electrophysiological field potential experiment was used to detect the effect of electroacupuncture on LTP in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats with depression, which is the effect on synaptic plasticity. The expression of 5-HTT protein in hippocampal CA1 region was detected by Western blot. Results In the SPT, compared to the Control group, the sucrose solution intake was significantly reduced in the Model group (P < 0.01) . It was improved after EA treatment compared to Sham EA group (P < 0.05) . In the OFT, compared with the Control group, the center time, total move time, center distance, total distance, rearing and grooming incidents were all decreased in the Model group. Compared with the Model group, the center time and total move time in the EA group increased significantly after 3 weeks of treatment (P <0.05) . In the FST, duration of immobility was significantly (P < 0.05) longer in the Model group comparing with the Control group. Compared with Sham EA group and Model group, the immobile time of EA group was significantly shorter (P < 0.05) . Compared with the Control group, the fEPSP slope of the Model group was significantly shorter (P < 0.001) .Compared with the Sham EA group, the fEPSP slope of the EA group increased significantly (P < 0.001) . And the LTP of Sham EA and Model groups induced failure in hippocampal CA1 region, the LTP induction was successful after EA treatment. Compared with the Control group, the expression of 5-HTT protein was significantly increased (P<0.001) .Compared with Sham EA group, the expression of 5-HTT protein in EA group decreased (P < 0.001) . Conclusion EA could alleviate depression-like behaviors in depression model rats and reverse the impairment of hippocampus synaptic plasticity by decrease the over-expression of 5-HTT protein in hippocampal CA1 region. It may be one of the mechanisms of EA on depression.
