Background: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing in recent years, and the etiology and pathogenesis of IBD remain unclear.Studies showed that disorder of bile acid metabolism plays an important role in the pathological process of experimental colitis.However, serum bile acid profile in IBD patients has not been reported.Aims: To investigate the changes of serum bile acid profile in patients with IBD.Methods: Seven healthy controls, 15 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 16 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) at Shanghai Xin Hua Hospital were enrolled.High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine serum bile acid profile.Results: No significant differences in serum concentrations of primary bile acid cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), glycocholic acid (GCA), taurocholic acid (TCA), glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA) were found between UC or CD and controls (P>0.05).Compared with controls, serum concentration of secondary bile acid deoxycholic acid (DCA) in UC patients was significantly decreased (P<0.05), glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA), taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) in CD patients were significantly decreased (P<0.05), serum concentration of lithocholic acid (LCA) in UC and CD patients was significantly decreased (P<0.05).Conclusions: The serum bile acid profile in IBD patients is significantly changed, which suggests that it may be involved in the pathological process of IBD.

Objective To prepare the Elderly Functional Constipation(FC) Health Education Scale, and verify its reliability and validity. Methods The Elderly FC Health Education Scale was prepared by qualitative interviews, literature review, and Delphi method. The elderly patients who were over 60 years old and at Chinese PLA 181st Hospital were recruited by the purposive sampling method from January 2013 to August 2015.The diagnostic criteria of RomanⅢwas used to diagnose FC, the data of preliminary investigation and large sample test was used to form the formal scale, and its reliability and validity were further verified. Results The Elderly FC Health Education Scale was compiled with 6 dimensions and 28 items, and the Cronbach alpha coefficient which was the internal consistency reliability of the 6 factor was 0.965; the correlation coefficient analysis of equality reliability Kendall tau-b rank and various index variables score were positive correlation significantly. Both item level content validity index and scale level content validity index of the content validity were as a result of 1. The structure validity of the cumulated variance contribution ratio of the 6 factors were 60.15%. All factor loading coefficients between the items were more than 0.5, which indicated the fitting was good. Conclusions The reliability and validity of the Elderly FC Health Education Scale are good, and the scale may be used as a tool to prevent the elderly FC health education, and also be applied to the elderly FC patients in self-management and continue nursing after leaving hospital.

Objective:To explore the effect of temperature management based on comfort theory on hypothermia prevention in patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) .Methods:From March to November 2021, 242 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who were treated with TURP in Affiliated Jinhua Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. The patients were divided into control group and observation group according to the method of random number table, 121 patients in each group. The control group carried out routine temperature management, while observation group was given temperature management based on comfort theory on the basis of the control group. We compared the temperature of the two groups when they entered the Operating Room (T 1) , 0.5 h after anesthesia (T 2) , 1 h after anesthesia (T 3) , and at the end of the operation (T 4) . The recovery time of anesthesia was compared between the two groups, and the postoperative complications were counted. Results:The temperature of the observation group at T 2, T 3, T 4 was higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01) . The temperature changes of patients in both groups showed a downward trend from T 1 to T 4. The incidence of shivering and bladder spasm in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, also with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . The duration of stay in the Recovery Room, the recovery time of spontaneous respiration and the recovery time of consciousness in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Temperature management based on comfort theory can effectively prevent hypothermia in TURP patients, promote postoperative anesthesia recovery, and reduce postoperative complications.
