Objective To observe the curative effect of abdominal acupuncture on postoperative pain of patients with mixed hemorrhoid after Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.Methods A total of 100 mixed hemorrhoid patients with postoperative pain after Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy under spinal anaesthesia from September of 2014 to December of 2015 were included into the study.The patients were evenly randomized into trial group and control group.The trial group was treated with abdominal acupuncture at acupoints of Shuifen,Guanyuan,Qihai,Sanxing needles under Qihai,lower Fengshi,Tianshu for 15-30 min.The control group was treated with intramuscular injection of Tramadol Injection 0.1 g.Before treatment and 0.5,1,2,3 hours after treatment,the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and body activity scores were recorded.Results (1) After treatment,pain VAS scores of the two groups at different time points were obviously decreased(P ＜ 0.05 compared with those before treatment),and the decrease of pain VAS scores of the treatment group 0.5 hours after treatment was superior to that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups at other time points (P ＞ 0.05).(2) After treatment,body activity scores of the two groups at different time points were obviously decreased(P ＜ 0.05 compared with those before treatment),but the difference was insignificant between the two groups(P＞ 0.05).(3) The average dose of Tramadol Injection used in the trial group was 0.013 ± 0.034 1 g,while was 0.103 ± 0.017 7 g in the control group,the difference being significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The analgesic effect of abdominal acupuncture is similar to that of Tramadol Injection.For its safety,and being cheap,practical and painless,abdominal acupuncture can be expected to be another option of effective analgesic method for the postoperative pain of patients with mixed hemorrhoid after Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy.

At present,the routine back cleaning and massage device used by patients in the rehabilitation period is large and expensive.It requires good muscle strength on at least one side of the limb and the assistance of others to complete it,which inevitably exposes privacy.Based on the above factors,nursing staff of Department of Critical Care Medicine,Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital,School of Medicine,Westlake University designed a simple type of back cleaning massage device for patients with upper limb mobility disorder,and obtained a national utility model patent(patent number:ZL 2015 20737148.9).The device is composed of U-shaped handle,base,brush head,massage head,U-shaped grip,etc.The device is simple to operate and has low production cost.It can not only play the role of cleaning the back,but also massage and stimulate the back skin,suitable for stroke patients in ordinary families.

Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) often need to have various catheters placed on their bodies due to their severe condition. In order to prevent the occurrence of unplanned extubation, patients' hands should be restrained appropriately. The current restraint gloves used in clinical practice have problems such as improper restraint, easy falling off of oxygen saturation monitoring probes, and pressure injury of hands. Therefore, department of critical care medicine, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine designed a wrist restraint glove suitable for restless patients, and obtained the national utility model patent (ZL 2020 2 1612453.7). The device is composed of restraint gloves and restraint rings, which can not only restrain patients, but also continuously monitor the changes of blood oxygen saturation in patients with restfulness. This device is convenient to use, low cost, comfortable to wear, and can prevent the occurrence of device-related pressure injuries, which is suitable for clinical application.

This study aimed to obtain the first national estimate of the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Chinese children. We targeted the population of 6 to 12-year-old children for this prevalence study by multistage convenient cluster sampling. The Modified Chinese Autism Spectrum Rating Scale was used for the screening process. Of the target population of 142,086 children, 88.5% (n = 125,806) participated in the study. A total of 363 children were confirmed as having ASD. The observed ASD prevalence rate was 0.29% (95% CI: 0.26%-0.32%) for the overall population. After adjustment for response rates, the estimated number of ASD cases was 867 in the target population sample, thereby achieving an estimated prevalence of 0.70% (95% CI: 0.64%-0.74%). The prevalence was significantly higher in boys than in girls (0.95%; 95% CI: 0.87%-1.02% versus 0.30%; 95% CI: 0.26%-0.34%; P < 0.001). Of the 363 confirmed ASD cases, 43.3% were newly diagnosed, and most of those (90.4%) were attending regular schools, and 68.8% of the children with ASD had at least one neuropsychiatric comorbidity. Our findings provide reliable data on the estimated ASD prevalence and comorbidities in Chinese children.
