Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Chuankezhi acupoint injection combined with nursing health care education for treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at stable stage complicated with spleen kidney deficiency syndrome.Methods A prospective study was conducted. 118 patients with stable COPD and spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome admitted to Hangzhou Third People's Hospital and Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital from February to April 2014 were enrolled, and they were divided into an experimental group (60 cases) and a control group (58 cases) according to the random number table. Both groups were given conventional treatment [including oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, rehabilitation therapy in accord with the Global Initiative COPD (GOLD)]. Simultaneously, in the experimental group, Chuankezhi acupoint injection was additionally given, once daily for 12 weeks, and appropriate corresponding health education was mentioned. The lung function, quality of life and prognoses of the patients were regularly followed up for 9 months and compared between the two groups.Results After 12 weeks, one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) per minute in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group [FEV1 (L): 1.57±0.42 vs. 1.35±0.35, FEV1/FVC: (58.62±4.56)% vs. (50.36±4.35)%, MVV (L/min): 60.62±7.56 vs. 56.95±6.33, allP < 0.05]. The quality of life evaluation form for COPD (QLICD-COPD) was used to evaluate the physical function, psychological function, social function and specific modules scores, showing that the above items in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (total score: 74.69±8.92 vs. 68.62±8.95, physical function score: 74.16±8.55 vs. 66.31±7.15, mental function score: 78.69±9.79 vs. 72.64±8.45, social function score: 75.45±6.75 vs. 70.36±6.12, specific modules score: 67.52±6.33 vs. 61.36±6.17, allP < 0.05); Barthel index score was also significantly higher than that in the control group (75.41±9.24 vs. 68.43±7.95,P < 0.05). Within 9 months of follow-up, the incidence of acute exacerbation of COPD in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.00% (3/60) vs. 17.24% (10/58),P < 0.05]. The re-admission rate was also significantly less in patients in experimental group compared with that of control group [1.67% (1/60) vs. 12.07% (7/58),P < 0.05]. Conclusion Chuankezhi acupoint injection with health education for treatment of patients with COPD at stable stage and spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome has good clinical efficacy, worthy to be applied more widely.

Objective To explore the effects of multiple geriatric syndromes on quality of life in the hospitalized elderly type 2 diabetes. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in 397 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by convenience sampling method. Each subject was assessed for general condition, quality of life as well as chronic pain, chronic constipation, urinary incontinence, high risk of falling, malnutrition, sleep disorder, polypharmacy. The influencing factors of quality of life were analyzed by multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results The patients averagely had 3.23 ± 1.51 geriatric syndromes, and 87.2% (346/397) of them had two or more geriatric syndromes. The average physical component summary of patients was (277.11±64.30) points, and mental component summary was (307.00 ± 60.46) points. The influencing factors of physical component of quality of life were quantity of geriatric syndromes, number of complications and course of disease, while the influencing factors of mental component of quality of life were quantity of geriatric syndromes, number of complications. Conclusions Multiple geriatric syndromes are closely related to the patients′quality of life to a greater degree as demographic factors and condition of diabetes. Nursing staffs should pay attention to the assessment and intervention of multiple geriatric syndromes in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, so as to improve patients′quality of life effectively.

Objective To examine the influence of LEV adjunctive treatment on cognitive function and life quality in RE school-age children. Methods Fifty-five cases of RE children were selected from our hospital from June 2013 to December 2015. Based on original treatment all children were added with LEV treatment for 16 weeks. The initial dose was 8~10 mg/(kg·d),and gradually increased to 50 mg/(kg·d). maintenance dose was 30 mg/(kg·d). Adverse drug reac?tions were recorded and clinical efficacies were determined after treatment. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children re?vised in China (WISC-CR) and quality of life in children with epilepsy (QOLCE) was used to evaluate children's cogni?tive function and children's life quality, respectvely. Results Average epilepsy attack frequencies after treatment (3.8± 1.3 vs. 6.6±2.3) times/month decreased significantly compared with before treatment (P<0.05). Clinical control ratio, ex?cellent ratio, effective ratio and ineffective ratio after treatment were 9.1%, 36.4%, 43.6%, 36.4%respectively and total effective ratio was 89.1%. The arithmetic score (10.9 ± 2.6 vs. 9.2 ± 2.1) and mapping score (15.1 ± 3.9 vs. 13.8 ± 3.3) in WISC- CR evaluation increased significantly (P<0.05). Life quality score (65.7 ± 5.7 vs. 62.8 ± 4.9) , cognitive function score (60.0 ± 5.7 vs. 57.4 ± 6.2) and social function score (65.0 ± 6.3 vs. 62.5 ± 5.5) after treatment in QOLCE evaluation in?creased significantly (P<0.05). During medication, the incidences of dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, irritability, euphoria and transient aminotransferase elevation were 12.7%, 9.1%, 20.0%, 9.1%, 3.6%and 3.6%respectively. Sixteen week medica?tion retention rate was 96.4%. Conclusion LEV adjunctive treatment can significantly reduce epilepsy attacks and im?prove cognitive function and life quality in RE children, but attention should be paid to LEV's influence on mental behavior.
