Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on perioperative cell immune function in patients undergoing hepatoma surgery. Methods Sixty patients (40-65 y/o, 50-80 kg body weight, ASA grad-ing I-II) with hepatoma were allocated into two groups each containing 30 patients:control group (group C) and dex-medetomidine group (group D). 15 minutes before anesthesia induction, a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 0.5μg/kg was injected intravenously, followed by infusion at 0.4μg/(kg · h)until the end of operation in group D. The equal volume of normal saline was administered in group C.Blood samples were obtained from jugular vein before induc-tion of anesthesia (T0), the end of operation(T1) and 24 h after the end of surgery (T2) for detections of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and NK cells by flow cytometry. CIM+/CD8+ratio was calculated. Serum IL-2 and IL-10 were detected by ELISA methods. Results When compared with the baseline value (T0), the levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ratio and NK cells significantly decreased at T1 and T2 in group C, and the levels of CD3+and CD4+also significantly decreased at T1 and T2 in group D (P<0.05). Compared with group C, the levels of CD3+, CD4+, NK cells and IL-2 at T1 and T2 were significantly higher in group D, and level of IL-10 at T1 and T2 were significantly lower in group D (P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine could improve the postoperative suppression of immune function in patients undergoing hepatoma surgery.

Chinese Medical Ethics 2022;35(10):1124-1130
China’s anti-epidemic actions has always adhered to the value of people first and life first, which has profoundly affected the perception of medical humanism by the whole society, especially medical workers. The epidemic prevention and control has put forward new requirements for medical personnel to practice medical humanism, reflecting the unique connotation of the times. In the context of normalized epidemic prevention and control, it is timely to reshape the humanistic spirit of medicine, which has extremely important value of the times. On the basis of explaining the connotation and significance of medical humanism, this paper analyzed the impact and influence of the epidemic on the medical humanism of medical personnel. The value orientation of medical humanism, which is the unity of synergy and innovation, the unity of doctor’s kindness and social responsibility, and the unity of national spirit and human health community, was constructed, and suggestions for reconstructing medical humanism were put forward in terms of improving institutional norms, strengthening education and training, promoting the synergistic development of medical technology and medical humanism, and creating a harmonious humanistic atmosphere.

Objective:To understand the status quo and influencing factors of evidence-based nursing competencies among oncology nurses and provide a reference for enhancing this competency among oncology nurses.Methods:From September 2022 to January 2023, totally 300 practicing nurses from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital were selected by convenience sampling and surveyed with the Chinese version of the Evidence-Based Practice Belief-Knowledge-Practice Scale. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were employed to analyze factors affecting the evidence-based nursing competencies of these nurses.Results:The evidence-based nursing competency scores of the 300 oncology nurses were (44.50±10.78) . Among the three dimensions, the belief dimension had the highest average item score, while the practice dimension had the lowest. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that gender, age, evidence-based training, participation in evidence-based projects, reading professional literature, publication of papers within the last five years and medical statistical level were influencing factors of their evidence-based nursing competencies (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The evidence-based nursing competencies of oncology nurses are at a relatively low level. Nursing managers and educators should focus on female nurses, older nurses, intensify evidence-based nursing training efforts, and thus enhance the evidence-based nursing competencies and overall research quality of the nursing team.

Mindfulness training has shown beneficial effects on cognitive functions in older adults.Howev-er,the studies on this topic have used different methods and populations,and their results were inconsistent.No sys-tematic review has synthesized and evaluated these findings.This review aims to address this gap by categorizing the studies based on the training methods and cohorts of older adults,and summarizing the effects of mindfulness training on cognitive function.The review finds that mindfulness training had different effects depending on the lev-el of cognitive decline and the training method.Both standardized and unstandardized training methods improved cognitive performance in older adults with normal or subjective cognitive decline.However,the effect of mindful-ness training diminished as cognitive decline worsened,being inconsistent in mild cognitive impairment and non-sig-nificant in dementia.The review also discusses the possible mechanisms and suggested directions for future re-search.

Objective To explore the effect of kangaroo mother care(KMC)on breastfeeding, behavior,body temperature and weight of full-term newborn. Methods A total of 80 full-term newborns from March to December of 2017 were selected by the convenience sampling method, and were randomly divided into control group and intervention group, with 40 cases each group. Routine obstetric nursing was provided for the newborns in the control group. In addition,one hour of KMC was provided for the newborns in the intervention group. The LATCH scores, neonatal behaviors, body temperature and weight were observed on daily basis. Meanwhile, an interview was conducted to investigate mothers′attitudes towards KMC. Results The LATCH scores of the intervention group for the second and third days were respectively (6.52±0.81) and (7.75±1.08), which were higher than that in control group (5.95±0.95), (7.02± 1.07). The differences were statistically significant (t=2.887,3.010,P<0.05). The behavioral status of neonates in the intervention group for 3 days was (3.65±1.12), (3.42±0.87), (3.35±1.07), all of which were lower than that in control group (4.57 ± 0.98), (4.50 ± 1.24), (4.65 ± 1.27), and the differences were statistically significant (t=-4.593,-8.285,-7.029, P<0.01). The interviews showed that 100.0%(40/40) of mothers were satisfied with KMC and were very happy in the process.95.0%(38/40)of mothers believe that KMC can increase mother-child relationships.82.5%(33/40)of mothers believe that KMC can keep children quiet.72.5%(29/40)of mothers feel that KMC can relieve pain in the abdomen or perineum. Conclusions In the hospital, 1h of KMC can make breastfeeding more effective and the newborn condition is more stable, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To aralyze the clinical characteristics of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in Beijing.Methods:Based on Beijing Respiratory Pathogen Surveillance System, acute respiratory infection patients were recruited from 35 different types of sentinel hospitals in Beijing. Their epidemiological and clinical data were systematically collected and clinical specimens were also obtained. Nuclear acid testing was performed for 30 types of respiratory pathogens (including Chlamydia pneumoniae). The identified patients of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection were divided into two groups, the acute upper respiratory tract infection (AURI) group and pneumoniae group. The differences in clinical characteristics, laboratory examination and prognosis were compared by using independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test or Fisher′s exact probability test. Results:A total of 119 patients of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection were included, including 12 patients in the AURI group and 107 patients in pneumoniae group. Chlamydia pneumoniae infection mainly occurred in people aged from 5 to 44 years, accounting for 81.5% (97/119). The three most common clinical symptoms were cough (92.4%, 110/119), fever (88.8%, 95/107), and sputum production (76.5%, 91/119). White blood cell counts increased in 39.3% (46/117) of patients. Neutrophile granulocyte proportion increased in 39.7% (46/116) of patients. Platelet count increased in 36.9% (41/111) of patients. An increase of the creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CKMB) was observed in 12 pneumonia patients (24.5%, 12/49). Radiological examination showed that 90.6% (87/105) of patients in the pneumoniae group had pulmonary parenchymal changes; the lesion occurred most commonly in the lower right lung lobe (34.3%, 36/105) and the lower left lung lobe (27.6%, 29/105). Although 73.8% (79/107) of patients in the pneumoniae group were hospitalized, no case received intensive care unit or mechanical ventilation. As to outcomes, one patient developed respiratory failure and 6 patients suffered myocardial injury. No death was observed in this study. The median days of hospitalization and course of illness for pneumonia patients M( P25, P75) were 10.0 (7.0, 13.0) days and 18.0 (13.5, 22.0) days, respectively. Conclusion:Generally, Chlamydia pneumoniae infections in Beijing from 2015 to 2019 were mild, and the main clinical manifestations were cough, fever and sputum. However, most patients in the pneumoniae group caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae still required hospitalization but with a better outcome.
