Objective:To explore the effect of video stereoscopic health education combined with biofeedback relaxation training in computed tomography (CT) examination patients.Methods:From July 2018 to December 2019, we selected 300 patients who underwent cardiac CT examinations in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. All patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 150 cases in each group. Both groups of patients received routine care and video stereoscopic health education, and observation group added biofeedback relaxation training intervention on this basis. We compared the coordination of patients, occurrence of adverse events during the examination and the operation time between two groups.Results:The degree of cooperation of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant between two groups ( Hc=27.31, P<0.05) . The occurrence of adverse events during the examination in observation group was 2.67% (4/150) and that in control group was 8.00% (12/150) with a statistical difference (χ 2=4.225, P<0.05) . The operation time of observation group and control group was (5.48±2.34) min and (8.45±2.47) min respectively also with a statistical difference ( t=10.691, P<0.05) . The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Combined biofeedback relaxation training can improve the coordination of patients during the examination, reduce the operation time and the occurrence of adverse events during the examination which has good effects.

The poorly water-soluble drug curcumin was prepared into oral nanocrystalline solid preparation by nanocrystal technology to improve the solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability. Curcumin nanocrystals were prepared by media grinding technology, and two types of stable curcumin nanocrystal suspension formulations were developed. The stabilizers in the two formulations were polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K30)/sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS)(1∶1) and Tween 80, respectively. The prepared curcumin nanocrystal suspension was loaded onto microcrystalline cellulose pellets through fluidized bed coating technology, and the nanocrystalline capsules were obtained after filling. The results of nanocrystal redispersion stability and scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the morphology of drug-loaded pellets was uniform when PVP K30 and SDS were used as stabilizers, and the diameter of nanocrystals before and after redispersion was about 200 nm, which was determined as the optimal formulation. In vitro dissolution study showed that curcumin nanocrystals at the size of 200 nm exhibited significantly promoted dissolution. The results of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the curcumin crystalline partly turned amorphous during the preparation of nanocrystals.Pharmacokinetic studies in rats showed that the bioavailability of curcumin nanocrystals was 9.3 times higher than that of the bulk drug. The curcumin nanocrystalline capsules developed in this research can significantly improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability, which is of great significance in improving the poor solubility of drugs, and is expected to become a new dosage form for clinical treatment.

Objective: To explore the feasibility and therapeutic effect of single-staged Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with septoplasty in adults with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. Methods: Ninety six cases with OSAHS were diagnosed by polysomnography, and they all had retropalatal obstruction and deviation of nasal septum. Patients were divided into study group(48 cases) and control group(48 cases) randomly. Cases in study group were simultaneously treated with Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and septoplasty, while cases in control group were only treated with Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. U saturation skill and coblation-assisted were applied in Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. And nasal septum suture technique was applied in septoplasty. The observation index included the intranasal changes with acoustic rhinometry, the prevalence of common postoperation complications and curative effects after six months follow-up period. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: In study group the overall response rate was 83.33%(40/48), while in control group the overall response rate was 62.50%(30/48). There was statistical significance of response rate between test group and control group(χ²=5.275, P<0.05). There was no statistical significance on complication rate between study group and control group(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance on preoperative measurement data(P>0.05). Conclusion For OSAHS patients with obstructive level at retropalatal plane and nasal plane, Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty combined with septoplasty in one stage is safe and effective.

Objective:To investigate the etiological diagnostic value of metagenomic sequencing in central nervous system (CNS) infectious diseases.Methods:A total of 170 patients with central nervous system infection admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the study subjects according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. General clinical data and pathogen test results were collected. All included patients underwent routine examination and mNGS test, and were divided into the conventional method test group and mNGS test group according to the test results. The measurement data conforming to normal distribution were represented by ± s; The measurement data that did not conform to normal distribution were represented by median and interquartile range. The classification data were expressed by the number of cases and percentage( n,%), and were compared by χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Consistency test was represented by Kappa value. The detection of pathogenic microorganisms by the two methods and the rule of pathogen spectrum were compared and analyzed. Results:The overall positive rate of mNGS in CNS infectious diseases was higher than that of conventional methods (58.23% vs. 18.82%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Among the 20 samples which were both positive by the two methods, 10 cases were completely pathogenic, 5 cases were partially consistent and 5 cases were completely inconsistent. In the detection of tuberculous nervous system infection, the positive rates were 66.7%, 53.8%, 44.0%, 40.0%, 4.0% in blood T-SPOT, cerebrospinal fluid mNGS, ADA, Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA and tuberculous specific antibody, respectively. The positive rate of acid-fast staining was 0. The positive rate of mNGS combined with conventional method was 80.8%. Conclusions:The detection rate of mNGS in CNS infection is better than that of conventional methods. However, it does not show obvious superiority in the detection rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis associated nervous system infection. In general, mNGS detection of pathogenic bacteria is more extensive, which is conducive to a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the bacterial characteristics of central nervous system infection. The combination of the two methods can make up for the deficiency of clinical routine detection to a certain extent, and can maximize the detection rate.

Rare diseases are characterized by extremely low incidence rate and small number of patients in total. The drugs used to treat rare diseases are called orphan drugs. Currently, 450 kinds of rare skin diseases have been identified, most of which lack in effective treatments. Supported by the policy-making from the country and pushed by all sectors of the society, drugs for rare skin diseases have been emerging continuously recently in China. This paper reviews the current accessibility of the orphan drugs for skin rare diseases that have been approved in China and in other countries and regions for a better understanding of rare dermatosis and orphan drugs for the diseases.
