Objective To investigate the factors that induce constipation in bedridden patients undergoing replantation of severed finger and find countermeasures. Methods A retrospective investigation was carried out in 92 patients undergoing replantation of severed finger, their constipation and factors influencing constipation were recorded. Results 61 patients suffered from constipation in total 92 cases,the rate being 66.30%. 76 patients reduced food intake, and 59 cases presented constipation (the rate being 77.63%). Factors influencing constipation included being unaccustomed to defecate in bed (the rate that present with constipation being 87.09%),reluctant to trouble others(75.47%), side effects of drugs(55.56%) and lack of dietary knowledge (71.87%), decreasing food intake was closely bound up with constipation. Conclusions Proper psychological counseling, strengthening of health propaganda, comfortable facility for defecation, improved family support and oral food intake can significantly reduce the proportion of constipation and increase comfort degree of patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of self-designed fixed support in the postoperative nursing of abdominal flap repair.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2019, 47 patients with hand tissue defects undergoing abdominal skin flap repair in Shajing People′s Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University were divided into control group (23 cases) and observation group (24 cases) by random digits table method. The control group was treated with traditional methods, and the observation group was treated with self-designed fixed support. The wound healing of abdominal flap, the wound tearing after flap operation, pedicle ulcer after flap operation and the patients' nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:There were 7 cases of primary healing and 16 cases of secondary healing in the control group, 18 cases of primary healing and 6 cases of secondary healing in the observation group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 9.368, P<0.01). The incidence rate of the wound tearing after flap operation was 26.1% (6/23) in the control group and 0 (0/24) in the observation group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 7.177, P<0.05). The incidence rate of pedicle ulcer after flap operation was 69.6% (16/23) in the control group and 33.3% (6/23) in the observation group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 6.170, P<0.05). The patients' nursing satisfaction was (76.8±8.4)points in the control group and (90.4±6.5) points in the observation group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t value was -4.640, P<0.01). Conclusions:The use of fixed support after the operation of abdominal flap is helpful to the wound healing, reduce the occurrence of wound tear and pedicle ulcer, and improve the satisfaction of nursing, which is worth popularizing.

Objective:To analyze the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with hypertension, and to provide an evidence for selecting antihypertensive drugs in those patients.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 58 COVID-19 patients with hypertension admitted to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 20 to February 22, 2020, including epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, chest CT and outcome. Patients were divided into ACEI/ARB group and non-ACEI/ARB group.Results:Twenty-six patients were in ACEI/ARB group and the other 32 patients in non-ACEI/ARB group, with median age 64.0 (49.5, 72.0) years and 64.0 (57.0, 68.8) years respectively. The median time to onset was 5(3, 8) days in ACEI/ARB group and 4 (3, 7) days in non-ACEI/ARB group, the proportion of patients with severe or critical illness was 19.2% and 15.6% respectively. The main clinical symptoms in two groups were fever (80.8% vs. 84.4%) and cough (23.1% vs. 31.3%). The following parameters were comparable including lymphocyte counts, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, D-dimer, bilateral involvement in chest CT (76.9% vs. 71.9%), worsening of COVID-19 (15.4% vs. 9.4%), favorable outcome (92.3% vs. 96.9%) between ACEI/ARB group and non-ACEI/ARB group respectively (all P>0.05). However, compared with non-ACEI/ARB group, serum creatinine [80.49 (68.72, 95.30) μmol/L vs. 71.29 (50.98, 76.98) μmol/L, P=0.007] was higher significantly in ACEI/ARB group. Conclusions:ACEI/ARB drugs have no significant effects on baseline clinical parameters (serum creatine and myoglobin excluded) , outcome, and prognosis of COVID-19 patients with hypertension. Antihypertensive drugs are not suggested to adjust in those patients, but the potential impairment of renal function as elevation of serum creatinine should be paid attention in patients administrating ACEI/ARB drugs.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Wenyang Shengji Ointment(温阳生肌膏,WYSJO)in the treatment of diabetic wounds from the perspective of network pharmacology,and to veri-fy it by animal experiments. Methods The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)and related literature were used to screen active compounds in WYSJO and their corresponding targets.GeneCards,Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM),DrugBank,PharmGkb,and Therapeutic Target Database(TTD)databases were employed to identify the targets associated with diabetic wounds.Cytoscape 3.9.0 was used to map the ac-tive ingredients in WYSJO,which was the diabetic wound target network.Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interaction Gene/Proteins(STRING)platform was utilized to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)network.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analyses were performed to identify signaling pathways be-tween WYSJO and diabetic wounds.AutoDock 1.5.6 was used for molecular docking of core components in WYSJO to their targets.Eighteen rats were randomly divided into control,model,and WYSJO groups(n=6).The model and WYSJO groups were used to prepare the model of refractory wounds in diabetes rats.The wound healing was observed on day 0,5,9,and 14 after treatment,and the wound tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The expression levels of core genes were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR). Results A total of 76 active compounds in WYSJO,206 WYSJO drug targets,3 797 diabetic wound targets,and 167 diabetic wound associated WYSJO targets were screened out through network pharmacology.With the use of WYSJO-diabetic wound target network,core targets of seven active compounds encompassing quercetin,daidzein,kaempferol,rhamnetin,rham-nocitrin,strictosamide,and diisobutyl phthalate(DIBP)in WYSJO were found.GO enrich-ment analysis showed that the treatment of diabetes wounds with WYSJO may involve lipopolysaccharide,bacteria-derived molecules,metal ions,foreign stimuli,chemical stress,nutrient level,hypoxia,and oxidative stress in the biological processes.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the treatment of diabetes wounds with WYSJO may involve advanced glycation end products(AGE-RAGE),p53,interleukin(IL)-17,tumor necrosis factor(TNF),hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1),apoptosis,lipid,atherosclerosis,etc.The results of animal experiments showed that WYSJO could significantly accelerate the healing process of diabetic wounds(P<0.05),alleviate inflammatory response,promote the growth of granulation tis-sues,and down-regulate the expression levels of eight core genes[histone crotonyltrans-ferase p300(EP300),protoc gene-oncogene c-Jun(JUN),myelocytomatosis(MYC),hypoxia inducible factor 1A(HIF1A),mitogen-activated protein kinase 14(MAPK14),specificity pro-tein 1(SP1),tumor protein p53(TP53),and estrogen receptor 1(ESR1)]predicted by the net-work pharmacology(P<0.05). Conclusion The mechanism of WYSJO in treating diabetes wounds may be closely related to AGE-RAGE,p53,HIF-1,and other pathways.This study can provide new ideas for the phar-macological research of WYSJO,and provide a basis for its further transformation and appli-cation.
