Objective:To study the timeliness incentive nursing intervention applied to rectal cancer postoperative rehabilitation of colostomy.Methods:A total of 120 cases of permanent rectal cancer patients who were treated with colostomy in Dalian University affiliated Xinhua Hospital during February 2016 to February 2019 were evenly divided into observation group and control group by random number table method. The control group were caught out by conventional postoperative rehabilitation nursing. The control group were caught out by the timeliness incentive nursing intervention. Two groups of patients were compared before and after continuous care for 3 months in many ways which included the pain degree, the time to get out of bed, the time of first eating, length of hospital stay, negative emotions, compliance, self-management ability and postoperative complications.Results:The pain degree, the first activity time away from the bed, the first time to eat and the hospital stay were 1.9±0.5, (14.36±2.43) h, (21.39±3.08) h, (8.78±0.82) d in the observation group, and 3.5±1.1, (20.02±2.97) h, (27.14±3.96) h, (11.01±1.43) d in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( t values were 5.369- 9.539, P<0.05). The negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in the observation group scored 41.4±2.3 and 39.9±2.0 after nursing. However, the control group scored 47.6±3.8 and 45.9±2.2 after nursing, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( t values were 3.509, 3.519, P<0.05). The self-management abilities of patients in the observation group, including emotional cognition management, general life management, disease cognitive management and colostomy nursing management were 23.43±2.12, 24.04±0.96, 23.02±3.22, and 21.43±1.75, significantly higher than those in the control group (18.96±2.82,18.89±1.69, 17.95±2.61, 16.87±2.12). The difference was statistically significant ( t values were 17.712-18.879, P<0.05). The compliance of the observation group in nursing, rehabilitation and reexamination was 0.79±0.19, 0.98±0.23 and 0.87±0.35, significantly higher than those of the control group (1.02±0.26, 1.58±0.36, 1.46±0.43). The difference was statistically significant ( t values were 5.532, 5.221, 5.645, P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The incidence of observation group was 8.33% (5/60), and the incidence of control group was 23.33% (14/60). The difference was statistically significant ( χ 2 values were 5.065, P<0.05). Conclusions:Timeliness incentive can obviously shorten the postoperative recovery time of colostomy patients in getting out of bed and capacity to eat, length of hospital stay. It can relieve the postoperative pain and the negative emotions, and also improve compliance and relieve self-management ability, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical data of Chinese patients with colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-related leukoencephalopathy, and clarify the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of Chinese patients.Methods:Medical history of patients with CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy diagnosed from April 1, 2018 to January 31, 2021 in the department of neurology of 22 hospitals in China was collected, and scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), magnetic resonance severity scale were evaluated. Group comparison was performed between male and female patients.Results:A total of 62 patients were included, and the male-female ratio was 1∶1.95. The age of onset was (40.35±8.42) years. Cognitive impairment (82.3%, 51/62) and motor symptoms (77.4%,48/62) were the most common symptoms. The MMSE and MoCA scores were 18.79±7.16 and 13.96±7.23, respectively, and the scores of two scales in male patients (22.06±5.31 and 18.08±5.60) were significantly higher than those in females (15.53±7.41 , t=2.954, P=0.006; 10.15±6.26, t=3.328 , P=0.003). The most common radiographic feature was bilateral asymmetric white matter changes (100.0%), and the magnetic resonance imaging severity scale score was 27.42±11.40, while the white matter lesion score of females (22.94±8.39) was significantly higher than that of males (17.62±8.74 , t=-2.221, P<0.05). A total of 36 CSF1R gene mutations were found in this study, among which c.2381T>C/p.I794T was the hotspot mutation that carried by 17.9% (10/56) of the probands. Conclusions:The core phenotypic characteristics of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy in China are progressive motor and cognitive impairment, with bilateral asymmetrical white matter changes. In addition, there exist gender differences clinically, with severer cognitive impairment and imaging changes in female patients. Thirty-six CSF1R gene mutations were found in this study, and c.2381T>C/p. I794T was the hotspot mutation.
