ObjectiveTo investigate theefficacy of transcutaneous acupoint electrical nerve stimulation plus acupoint pressing in treatingheadachesafter ethmoidectomyforchronic nasosinusitis.MethodOne hundred patients withchronic nasosinusitiswho hadundergoneethmoidectomyunder general anesthesia were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 50 cases each.The control group received routine treatment (auricular plastertherapy,anti-inflammatoryandhemostatic therapy, andoxygen uptake) and the treatment group, transcutaneous acupoint electrical nerve stimulation plus acupoint pressing in addition.Postoperative headache severities were comparedbetweenthe two groups at 6, 12 and 24 hrs after thebeginningof treatment.ResultHeadaches were relieved more significantly in the treatment group than in thecontrol groupat 6, 12 and 24 hrs, especially at 24 hrs. ConclusionsTranscutaneous acupoint electrical nerve stimulation plus acupointpressing has a marked therapeutic effect on headachesafter paranasal sinus surgeryand cansignificantlyimprove postoperative quality of life in the patients.This treatment is non-invasive and more easily accepted by the patients and canimprovethe operatingefficiency and feasibility.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine and liquid wax in treating oral apatinib-induced hand-foot syndrome. Method Thirty patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, who had developed hand-foot syndrome after oral administration of apatinib for four weeks, with grade 0 in 3 cases, grade Ⅰ in 16 cases, grade Ⅱ in 9 cases and grade Ⅲ in 2 cases, were enrolled and treated by external application of Chinese herbal medicine and liquid wax on both hands and feet for three weeks. Result The 30 patients with hand-foot syndrome had grade 0 in 14 cases, grade Ⅰ in 14 cases, grade Ⅱ in 2 cases and grade Ⅲ in 0 case after treatment with Chinese herbal medicine and liquid wax. There was a definite therapeutic effect and a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion External application of Chinese herbal medicine and liquid wax on both hands and feet for hand-foot syndrome not only has a definite therapeutic effect but is also an ideal means of prevention and treatment because of its noninvasive procedure and the high compliance of the patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) admission management system in the practice of promoting TCM characteristic nursing in Western medicine hospitals.Methods:Using the cluster sampling method, 839 officially staffed nurses from 42 nursing units in the Cancer Hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences were selected as the research object. In April 2018, it began to implement TCM admission management. We compared the patients' satisfaction with TCM nursing and quality control inspection scores of departments before and after implementation.Results:After the implementation of TCM nursing admission management, the satisfaction of patients with TCM nursing were all higher than those before implementation ( P<0.05) . From April 2018 to March 2020, the number of departments carrying out more than 3 TCM nursing techniques increased from 8 wards in 2018 to 33 wards in 2020. The average score of special quality control inspections for TCM specialists was increasing year by year. The quality control inspection scores in 2018, 2019 and 2020 were (92.80±2.02) , (96.17±3.04) , and (98.27±3.11) respectively. Conclusions:The implementation of the TCM admission management system, the implementation of TCM characteristic nursing in the whole hospital, and effective supervision and quality control can continuously improve the quality of TCM nursing, and also enable the long-term development of TCM characteristic nursing in Western medicine hospitals.
