Objective To develop a new quantitative analytical method for determination of fluoroacetamide,a kind of raticides,in blood and urine samples using solid-phase extraction combined with GC/MS.Methods Using acetamide as the internal standard,extraction column and extraction conditions of fluoroacetamide from blood and urine samples were optimized by comparing the extraction efficiency of different solid-phase extraction columns and the effects of experimental conditions on recovery.By means of the quantitative relation between the ratio of characteristic ion peak areas of fluoroacetamide to acetamide a novel analytical method for determination of fluoroacetamide concentration was established by quantitative GC/GM technique.Results The ratio was proportional to the concentration of fluoroacetamide ranging from 5.0 to 90?g/ml with silica gel column extraction,and the detection limit was estimated to be 1.0?g/ml.The average recovery of fluoroacetamide in blood sample was 91.6%.The standard deviation was less than 7.3%.Conclusion The analytical results were in conformity with those obtained by the classical method,which could satisfy the requirement for quantitative measurement of fluoroacetamide in samples from practical cases.

Objective To investigate fatigue in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during chemotherapy,and influencing factors.Methods From Feburary 2014 to August 2016, 216 children with ALL,from 5 to 15 years old,treated in a Grade III,Level A children's hospital in Zhengzhou,were surveyed by Peds QLTM multidimensional fatigue scale (Chinese version) and Questionnaire on discomfort in ALL children during chemotherapy.Results During chemotherapy,total scores of fatigue in the ALL children were (31.71±16.66) ,with fatigue of the whole body (11.67±6.29),of sleeping (10.99±5.57),and of cognition (9.10±6.84);during chemotherapy,incidence of fatigue of the whole body was 90.74%,of sleeping 95.83%, and of cognition 81.94%. Main influencing factors of fatigue of the whole body were weight loss,appetite loss and lack of energy,accounting for 72.8% of fatigue variation;that of sleeping were weight loss and irritability, accounting for 51.2% of fatigue variation;and that of cognition were difficulty in concentration and oral ulcer, accounting for 44.2% of fatigue variation.Conclusions During chemotherapy,fatigue in ALL children is common and is below average level. When managing fatigue symptoms in ALL children,nurses should actively treat the symptoms,so as to reduce the level of fatigue.

Objective To systematically evaluate the intervention effect of social psychological intervention on the health status of patients with bariatric surgery(BS).Methods 8 databases,including PubMed,PsycInfo,and Embase and Clinic Trials,were retrieved to recruit randomized controlled trials with computer from database establishing time to Sep.2022.Independent quality evaluation was conducted by 2 researchers,and Meta-analysis was performed by the RevMan5.3 software.Results Totally 23 RCTs were included.The meta-analysis showed that psychosocial interventions in BS patients improve emotional eating and binge eating behavior[SMD=-0.44,95%CI(-0.78,-0.09),P=0.010;MD=-5.88,95%CI(-8.65,-3.11),P<0.001],promote better quality of life[SMD=0.30,95%CI(0.02,0.59),P=0.040]and physical mobility,alleviates anxiety and depression[SMD=-0.37,95%CI(-0.67,-0.08),P=0.010;SMD=-0.59,95%CI(-0.84,-0.33),P<0.001].However,the effect on improving eating disorders[MD=-0.01,95%CI(-0.19,0.18),P=0.950]is not significant,and subgroup analysis results of different intervention measures and follow-up times showed that there was no statistically significant difference in weight changes between the social psychological intervention group and the control group.Conclusion Psychosocial intervention can effectively improve the mental state and eating behavior of the bariatric surgery patients,improve the quality of life and increase physical activity of patients.However,the effect of intervention on eating disorder and weight change is still unclear.More high-quality clinical studies need to be carried out for further verification.

Objective:To retrieve, evaluate, and sum up the evidence on target temperature management in stroke patients, and summarize the best evidence.Methods:Based on the "6S" pyramid model, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summary, and systematic review on target temperature management in stroke patients were searched from top to bottom in British Medical Journal Best Practice, UpToDate, Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center, Guidelines International Network, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario, American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, European Stroke Organization, Medlive, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP and China Biology Medicine Disc. The search period was from database establishment to October 7, 2022. Two researchers received evidence-based nursing training independently evaluated the quality of the article, extracted, integrated, and summarized the best evidence.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, including three clinical practice guidelines, four systematic reviews, and five expert consensuses. 24 best pieces of evidence were summarized from five aspects, involving target temperature population, target temperature implementation, complication monitoring, nutritional support, and prognosis evaluation.Conclusions:This study adopts an evidence-based approach to systematically summarize the best evidence for target temperature management in stroke patients, which can provide the best decision-making basis for clinical medical and nursing staff to manage temperature in stroke patients, further standardize temperature monitoring and management, and offer scientific basis for future research and practice.
