Objective:To investigate the effect of virtual reality (VR) video-based pre-discharge psychological intervention on the post-discharge emotions of patients with deep facial burn.Methods:Enrolled in the prospective randomized controlled study were 84 patients with deep facial burn that were hospitalized from October 2017 to September 2019 in the First Hospital of Jilin University and met the inclusion criteria. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into two groups, with some losing touch in follow-up, there were 40 cases (21 males and 19 females) left in VR video group, aged 18~53 years, while there were 41 cases (22 males and 19 females) left in general video group, aged 19~55 years. Seven patients who had been treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2014 to December 2016 and returned to work and life after recovering from the deep facial burn were selected, and then a video was made for each of them based on the pictures taken before and after they got burned and at each stage of treatment with the relevant oral explanations, the problems they faced after discharge and the solutions adopted for those problems, and the image data about their living conditions. Seven days before discharge, the patients in VR video group began to watch videos by wearing VR glasses, while the patients in general video group began to watch videos on a tablet computer. On the 7th day before discharge (before watching the videos) and 1 month after discharge, the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Social Avoidance and Distress (SAD) Scale were used to evaluate the level of anxiety, depression, social avoidance and distress of patients in both groups. Data were statistically analyzed with t test, chi-square test, or Fisher's exact probability test.Results:On the 7th day before discharge, the scores of anxiety, depression, and social avoidance and distress of patients in general video group were (34±7), (34±6), and (11.5±3.9) points, respectively, close to (35±7), (35±5), and (10.5±3.9) points in VR video group, and the scores of both groups were higher than the national norms. One month after discharge, the scores of anxiety, depression, and social avoidance and distress of patients in VR video group were (31±5), (31±5), and (7.2±2.5) points, respectively, significantly lower than the scores on the 7th day before discharge (t=6.609, 7.492, 7.622, P<0.01); the scores of anxiety, depression, social avoidance and distress of patients in general video group were (37±7), (38±8), and (13.9±7.4) points, respectively, significantly higher than the scores on the 7th day before discharge (t=2.802, 3.599, 2.739, P<0.01). One month after discharge, the scores of anxiety, depression, and social avoidance and distress of patients in VR video group were significantly lower than those in general video group (t=4.722, 5.043, 5.490, P<0.01).Conclusions:The unhealthy emotions of patients with deep facial burn, such as anxiety, depression, and social avoidance and distress, can be alleviated after discharge if they undergo psychological intervention by watching VR videos before discharge.

Objective To compare the effect of electro-acupuncture(EA) and warm-needle moxibustion(WNM) on the foot three-dimensional gait time-space parameters and surface electromyography of post-stroke patients with flaccid paralysis. Methods A total of 61 patients were randomly divided into EA group (N=30) and WNM group(N=31). Both groups were given post-stroke conventional treatment, and additionally EA group received EA while WNM group was given WNM. Before treatment and after 2 treatment courses, we detected the foot three-dimensional gait time-space parameters of pace race, stance phase, swing phase, bilateral stance phase, and step length, and surface electromyography parameters of root mean square(RMS), integrated electromyogram (iEMG) and co-contraction ratio(CR) of tibialis anterior muscle and gastrocnemius at the state of maximal isometric voluntary contraction(MIVC). Results(1) After treatment, the foot three-dimensional gait time-space parameters of the two groups were improved in various degrees (P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement of EA group was superior to that of WNM group (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment, the RMS and iEMG of the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscle as well as CR of dorsal extensor at MIVC state were improved in various degrees (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement of EA group was superior to that of WNM group(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion WNM exerts better effect on improving the parameters of three-dimensional gait time-space parameters and surface electromyography of post-stroke patients with flaccid paralysis than EA.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and predictive indicators of stellate ganglion block (SGB) as an adjunctive intervention for chronic subjective tinnitus and accumulate experience for the application of SGB in the clinical treatment of tinnitus. MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on the data of chronic subjective tinnitus patients who received SGB intervention, with unsatisfactory outcomes otherwise. Pure tone audiometry (PTA), tinnitus loudness evaluation and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were used. The tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) scores were compared before and after SGB intervention. Correlation analysis and linear regression equations were employed to identify the potential indicators predicting the effectiveness of SGB intervention. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 24.0 software. ResultsBy April 2023, a total of 107 patients with chronic subjective tinnitus had undergone SGB intervention, including 67 male and 40 female, with a mean age of (45.32±11.40) years old and an average tinnitus history of (20.32±24.64) months [16 (12~20)]. Only 7 patients (6.54%) quitted the intervention for personal reasons, which demonstrated good compliance with the intervention. No patients experienced adverse reactions such as infection at the injection site, hematoma, nerve injury, local anesthetic intoxication and so on, which revealed good safety. After SGB intervention, THI scores decreased to below 36 points in 77 patients and decrease by 10 points or more in 12 of the remaining patients, with a total effective rate of 89%. A paired sample t-test showed a significant difference in THI scores before and after SGB intervention (t=15.575, P<0.001), indicating good improvement. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that pre-intervention THI scores and subjective tinnitus loudness were significantly positively correlated with the improvement level of THI scores (P<0.05). Further stepwise linear regression analysis found that "pre-intervention THI scores" had statistical significance (P<0.001), with a regression coefficient of 0.308, predicting a 17.4% improvement level in THI scores. ConclusionsDue to its good and safe short-term effects, SGB intervention can be used as a supplementary option for chronic subjective tinnitus when other interventions are not ideal, especially for patients with higher THI scores. However, further research is needed to clarify the long-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms, in order to establish a more solid theoretical basis for SGB intervention in the treatment of subjective tinnitus.
