Objective:To analyze the characteristics of nerve injury in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and explore the diagnostic value of current perception threshold (CPT) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) for DPN.Methods:One hundred and thirty-six DPN patients admitted to Beijing Puren Hospital from June 2017 to December 2019 were selected, and 130 diabetic non-DPN patients admitted during the same period were used as controls. All the subjects were tested by CPT and NCV. Among them, the detection of NCV included sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) and motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV). Statistical analysis was performed on the relevant indicators of the two groups of subjects.Results:The CPT values of the upper limb median nerve and ulnar nerve at 2 000 Hz, 250 Hz, and 5 Hz, the superficial peroneal nerves at 250 Hz, and 5 Hz, and the CPT values of the sural nerve at 2 000 Hz and 250 Hz were higher than those of non-DPN patients, DPN injury mainly occurred in myelinated nerve fibers in the lower extremities [60.29%(82/136)], and the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The SCV and MCV of the median nerve, ulnar nerve, and common peroneal nerve in the DPN group were lower than those in the non-DPN group, the SCV abnormal rate was higher than the MCV: 55.88%(76/136) vs. 37.50%(51/136); 58.82%(80/136) vs. 41.18% (56/136); 67.65%(92/136) vs. 50.00%(68/136), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The area under the predictive value curve (AUC) of CPT for DPN was 0.815 (95% CI 0.735 ~ 0.895). The AUC of NCV for DPN was 0.875 (95% CI 0.813 ~ 0.944). The AUC of CPT and NCV for DPN was 0.923 (95% CI 0.876 ~ 0.970). Conclusions:DPT patients have abnormal CPT and NCV, and nerve damage occurs mostly in myelinated nerve fibers and SCV. Diagnosing DPN by combining CPT and NCV is helpful to improve the detection rate of DPN.

Objective To explore the effect of assessment criteria in early ambulation of gastric cancer patients after surgery. Methods Totally 327 gastric cancer patients from January 2013 to March 2016 in our hospital were selected as the research object by convenience sampling method. All patients were randomly divided into the control group ( n=160) and the observation group ( n=167) by throwing a coin. Patients in the control group received routine nursing before surgery, while patients in the observation group were assessed by postoperative assessment criteria of early safety ambulation. The status of postoperative early ambulation and satisfaction degree were compared between two groups. Results In the observation group, the proportion of ambulation within 24 hours after surgery was 80.2%, and it was 46.9% in the control group (χ2=39.439,P<0.05). The satisfaction degree towards nursing work in the observation group was 95. 8%, and was significantly higher than that in the control group ( 81. 2%) . The situation of observation group with early ambulation is better than that of control group (χ2=9.115,P<0.05).Conclusions Assessment criteria of early ambulation for patients with postoperative gastric cancer is benefit for developing early postoperative ambulation and improving the satisfaction degree towards nursing.
