BACKGROUND: As the first long-acting atypical antipsychotics, the therapeutic effect and safety of risperidone microsphere have been proved. However, it may lead to serious pain due to the deep intramuscular injection.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pain levels by 12-week injection of rispeddone microsphere and to explore the relationship among dose and times of injection of risperidone microsphere and pain levels.METHODS: A total of 57 patients diagnosed as schizoprenia by DSM-Ⅳ, aged 18-65 years, were selected and injected risperidone microsphere once every 2 weeks with doses of 25, 37.5 and 50 mg. The pain levels were evaluated using 100 mm visual analogue scale during injection and at the injected sites. The effects of injected dose, injected frequency and injected sites on the pain were analyzed by the nurse questionnaire.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The pain levels among the different doses groups had no notable differences (F=1.35,P> 0.05), which demonstrated that the pain had no relationship with injected dose. However, the pain level of injected sites had correlation to injected doses. The pain level of the 50 mg group was greater than that of the 37.5 and 25 mg groups. Accordingly,patients who treated by high dose of risperidone microsphere should be intervened by nurses.

Objective To explore the effects of a psychological nursing programme based on acceptance and commitment therapy on patients with end-stage cancer.Methods The convenience sampling method was adopted to select 120 patients with end-stage cancer who were hospitalized in the radiotherapy department of a tertiary A maternity and general hospital in Yuncheng from June 2021 to December 2022 as the research subjects.The Research Randomizer was used to divide them into an experimental group and a control group,with 60 cases in each group.The experimental group adopted the psychological nursing programme based on acceptance and commitment therapy,and the control group received the routine psychological nursing.The differences of psychological resilience,psychological pain,experiential avoidance level and quality of life before and after intervention were compared between the 2 groups.Results 57 cases in the experimental group and 58 cases in the control group completed the study.The scores of the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were(35.14±4.76)points in the experimental group and(33.17±2.97)points in the control group,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=2.664,P=0.009).After intervention,the scores of the Distress Thermometer in experimental group and control group were(4.14±1.88)points and(5.69±2.13)points,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=-4.138,P＜0.001).The scores of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱwere(16.19±3.80)points in the experimental group and(23.93±2.46)points in the control group,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=-13.002,P＜0.001).The EORTC QLQ-C30 score in the experimental group was(117.00±8.50)points,and that in the control group was(101.45±11.88)points,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=8.066,P＜0.001).Conclusion The psychological nursing programme based on acceptance and commitment therapy can effectively reduce the level of psychological pain and experiential avoidance,improve psychological resilience and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To investigate the association between CITP/MMP-1 ratio and the severity of Myocardial fibrosis (MF) in patients with Chronic Heart failure (CHF) and its diagnostic and prognostic value in patients with MF.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 110 cases [86 males, (56.60±11.15) years old;24 females, (60.06±12.02) years old] who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology, Teda International Cardiovascular Hospital from May 18, 2021 to February 30, 2022 and underwent magnetic magnetic examination. Serum CITP and MMP-1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay and CITP/MMP-1 ratio was calculated. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was detected by automatic chemiluminescence analyzer. Anova and non-parametric test were used to compare the difference of indexes among all groups. Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum collagen metabolites and the severity of myocardial fibrosis. Logistic regression analysis was performed for multivariate analysis, and ROC curve was used to evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic value of related indexes. Major adverse cardiac events within 1 year after discharge were recorded, including cardiogenic death, HF rehospitalization, malignant arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction. The risk factors of poor prognosis were analyzed by Cox regression. Patients were divided by the median value of CITP/MMP-1 ratio or the median value of CITP/MMP-1 ratio and BNP. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier and Log Rank test was performed.Results:Serum MMP-1 and BNP in LGE (+) group were higher than those in LGE (-) group (1.79 ng/ml > 0.91 ng/ml, Z=-2.924; 503 pg/ml > 367 pg/ml, Z=-1.932; P<0.05); The CITP/MMP-1 ratio in the LGE (+) group was lower than that in the LGE (-) group (3.84 < 10.85, Z=-3.601, P<0.001). MMP-1 in CHF with arrhythmia group was higher than that in CHF group (1.98 ng/ml > 1.25 ng/ml, Z=-2.016), while CITP/MMP-1 ratio was lower than that in CHF group (3.25 < 5.73, Z=-2.751), all P<0.05. CITP/MMP-1 ratio in CHF patients was negatively correlated with the severity of MF ( r=-0.363, P<0.001), and BNP and MMP-1 were positively correlated with the severity of MF ( r=0.267, r=0.264, P<0.05). Serum BNP was positively correlated with collagen metabolite MMP-1 and negatively correlated with CITP/MMP-1 ratio (all P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that only CITP/MMP-1 was a predictor of myocardial fibrosis, with an OR value of 0.624 ( P=0.005). ROC curve was used to evaluate serum BNP, MMP-1 and CITP/MMP-1 ratio in the diagnosis of myocardial fibrosis in HF patients, with AUC of 0.653, 0.696 and 0.754, respectively. The accuracy of CITP/MMP-1 ratio in diagnosing fibrosis was better than that of BNP by comparing their AUC, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.808, P<0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that CITP/MMP-1 ≤3.84 was a risk factor for poor prognosis, OR=2.647 ( P=0.009). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis at 1-year follow-up showed that the survival rate of the group with lower CITP/MMP-1 ratio was significantly lower than that of the group with higher CITP/MMP-1 ratio ( P=0.014). The survival rate of CITP/MMP-1 increased and BNP decreased group was higher than that of CITP/MMP-1 decreased and BNP increased group ( P=0.011). Conclusions:The ratio of CITP/MMP-1 can be used as a negative correlation indicator of the degree of cross-linking, which is better than BNP in the evaluation of MF, and has a good auxiliary diagnostic value for myocardial fibrosis in patients with chronic heart failure, and is expected to become a protective indicator for patients with chronic heart failure and be used in clinical evaluation of myocardial fibrosis. CITP/MMP-1 ratio is associated with the incidence of major adverse cardiac events, and CITP/MMP-1 ≤3.84 can be used as a predictor of prognostic adverse cardiovascular events in CHF patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of aquatic treadmill training on abdominal muscle thickness and balance function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. MethodsFrom March to October, 2021, 60 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n = 20), suspension group (n = 20) and aquatic treadmill group (n = 20). On the basis of comprehensive rehabilitation training, the control group received treadmill training, the suspension group received skyrail suspension walking training, and the aquatic treadmill group received treadmill training in water, for four weeks. The curative effect was evaluated by musculoskeletal ultrasound with muscle thickness of bilateral external oblique, internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles. And they were assessed with Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patient (PASS) and Timed 'Up & Go' Test (TUGT) before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the thickness of external oblique and internal oblique muscles on the unaffected side, the PASS score and the TUGT time improved in all the three groups (|t| > 2.135, P < 0.05); while the thickness of external oblique, internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles in the aquatic treadmill training group increased (|t| > 5.567, P < 0.001). The PASS score, the TUGT time, and the thickness of external oblique and internal oblique muscles on the affected side improved more in the aquatic treadmill training group than in the control group and the suspension group (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe aquatic treadmill training is more effective in strenghthening abdominal muscle to improve balance function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship among spontaneous turning direction, balance ability and fall risk in patients with stroke during walking. MethodsFrom December, 2021 to November, 2022, 94 patients with stroke were recruited from Beijing Bo'ai Hospital. They were assessed with simple Timed 'Up and Go' Test (TUGT, TUGT1), TUGT with a cup in hand (TUGT2), and TUGT with calculation task (TUGT3). The spontaneous turning directions at the turn point were recorded, and the patients were divided into no-same group (n = 34) and same group, and the same group was further divided into affected group (n = 33) and unaffected group (n = 27), according to the spontaneous turning direction. After a spontaneous turning of each TUGT, the patients were asked to finish another TUGT turning to the opposite direction. And then, they were assessed with single leg standing test, Functional Reach Test (FRT), 360° turning test and the Morse Fall Scale (MFS). ResultsThere were the most patients with left hemiplegia in the affected group (χ² = 7.995, P < 0.05). The time of TUGT1, TUGT2 and TUGT3 was the most in the affected group and the least in the unaffected group (F > 4.009, P < 0.05), and it was more in the affected group than in the unaffected group as post-hoc test (P < 0.05). The one leg standing time (H = 9.403, P = 0.009) and FRT distance (F = 4.300, P = 0.016) were the least in the affected group and the most in the unaffected group, and it was less in the affected group than in the unaffected group as post-hoc test (P < 0.05). The turning time (F = 4.134, P = 0.019) and turning steps (F = 5.611, P = 0.003) were the most in the affected group and the least in the unaffected group, and it was more in the affected group than in the unaffected group as post-hoc test (P < 0.05). The score of MFS was the most in the affected group and the least in the unaffected group (H = 8.192, P = 0.017), and it was more in the affected group than in the unaffected group as post-hoc test (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe stroke patients spontaneously turning to the affected side during walking usually are poorer in balance function, and in a risk of fall.
