Objective:To explore the effects of health education based on reinforcement theory combined with empowerment theory in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) .Methods:From January 2018 to January 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 80 COPD patients admitted to the Respiratory Department of Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the subject. Patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group with 40 cases each in a 1∶1 ratio using the random number table. The control group received routine health education and psychological intervention, while the observation group was treated with health education based on reinforcement theory combined with empowerment theory. The pulmonary rehabilitation compliance, Short Form of the Profile of Mood States (POMS-SF) and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) scores before and after intervention were compared between two groups.Results:After intervention, the total score and all dimension scores of pulmonary rehabilitation compliance in both groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group scored higher than the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After intervention, the energy-vitality scores of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, the observation group scored higher than the control group, and the scores of other dimensions were lower than those before intervention, the observation group scored lower than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of HPLP in all dimensions in both groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group scored higher than the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Health education based on reinforcement theory combined with empowerment theory for COPD patients can enhance their rehabilitation compliance, effectively improve their mental state, and promote the development of healthy behaviors.

Objective:To investigate clinical outcome and the risk factors for death in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:The clinical data of 232 AP patients complicated with AKI admitted to the Center of Severe Pancreatitis of Jinling Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into survival group ( n=162) and death group ( n=70) based on the survival status. The two groups' clinical characteristics, biochemical indexes, and renal function indexes were compared. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for death in AP patients complicated with AKI. Results:Sixteen patients(6.9%) among the 232 had AKI Ⅰ, 15(6.5%) had AKI Ⅱ, and 201(86.6%) had AKI Ⅲ. Forty-one patients (17.7%) became AKI with a disease course <7 days, 184 patients (79.3%) gradually progressed to acute kidney disease with a disease course of 7-90 days, and 7 patients (3.0%) eventually progressed to chronic kidney disease with a disease course >90 days. Renal replacement treatment (RRT) was administered in 179 patients (77.2%), lasting an average of 14 (7-25) days. 138 patients (59.5%) had their renal function recovered while they were hospitalized, including 9 patients (6.5%) who did so within 7 days, 69 patients (50.0%) within 30 days, and 127 patients (92.0%) within 90 days. The average recovery time was 16 (7-28) days. Seventy patients (30.2%) died during hospitalization, including 8(3.5%) within 7 days, 42(18.1%) within 30 days, and 68(29.3%) within 90 days. Univariate analysis revealed that the proportions of biliary etiology, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum cystatin C, sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA) score, AKI Ⅲ proportion, number of patients undergoing RRT, and duration of AKI were significantly higher in the death group compared to the survival group. The number of patients complicated by infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) and having surgical intervention was also significantly greater than that in the survival group, while the proportion of patients whose renal function recovered was much lower than that in the survival group. The differences were all statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that SOFA( OR=1.182, 95% CI 1.000-1.396, P=0.049), and IPN( OR=8.403, 95% CI 3.748-18.838, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for death. Conclusions:SOFA score and IPN at admission were independent risk factors for death in AP patients with AKI. Vigilance should be given as soon as possible to improve the outcome of patients through clinical intervention.

The traditional proportional hazard model is commonly used to investigate the association between main outcome and predictor variables. However, the endpoints in medical studies are often not unique. The analyses of labeling other competing outcomes other than the main outcome as censored data will theoretically lead to a biased estimate of the risk of main outcome. Although the traditional competitive risk model can adjust the influence of other outcomes on the risk of the main outcome, it can not directly compare the differences on the risks of different outcomes. The multi-state competing risk model provides a relatively suitable solution for this problem. In this study, based on a previously published follow-up data set for prostate cancer patients, we developed traditional proportional hazard model, traditional competitive risk model, and multi-state competing risk model, respectively. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the three models with the same survival data, we clarified the clinical application value of the multi-state competitive risk model in survival data with multiple outcomes.

Objective:
To explore the characteristics of perioperative venous therapy in patients undergoing simultaneous repair and reconstruction of oral cancer after radical resection, and prevention of femoral vein catheterization complications, to provide clinical evidence for venous therapy.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was perfomed to assess the choice of venous access and its effects in 95 patients undergoing simultaneous reconstruction due to oral cancer during the perioperative period.
Results :
In total, 95 patients underwent successful indwelling femoral vein catheterization with double lumens, and a midline catheter and peripheral intravenous indwelling needles were used to complete the intravenous therapy after surgery. Among the femoral vein complications, 1 case was complicated with lower extremity venous thrombosis (incidence was 1.1%), and 17 cases were complicated with puncture point bleeding (incidence was17.9%). Two cases of puncture site bleeding were noted among 28 cases using a midline catheter. Local phlebitis and infiltration were the most common complications of peripheral venous catheters. The difference in catheter-related complications among different types of catheters was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The complication rate of the midline catheter was lower than that noted with femoral vein catheterization and peripheral intravenous indwelling needles.
Conclusion
Based on the treatment characteristics of patients, proper venous catheters should be established during the perioperative period. The application of a femoral vein catheter during the operation combined with the use of a midline catheter and peripheral venous indwelling needles after the operation can satisfy intravenous therapy needs in patients undergoing simultaneous repair and reconstruction for oral cancer, and the midline catheter can effectively reduce venous catheter-related complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of ultrasound-guided catheterization in intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy for postoperative abdominal malignant tumor without ascites. Methods A retrospective analysis were performed in 146 postoperative patients with abdominal malignancies who were admitted to Fujian Cancer Hospital from April 2013 to September 2018, and there were no ascites founded in these patients before abdominal catheterization. Two hundred and seventy-nine times ultrasound-guided catheterization in intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy were performed under clinical guidance. Results Two hundred and seventy-seven times abdominal catheterization was completed, with a success rate of 99.3%(277/279), and the one-time success rate was 83.2%(232/279), 2 times (0.7%, 2/279) had to be abandoned for peritoneal adhesions. Fifty-three patients (36.3%, 53/146) underwent catheterization ≥ 2 times. The intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy was successfully completed after catheterization, no intestinal injury and bleeding occurred. Conclusions In the absence of ascites, ultrasound guided catheterization in perfusion chemotherapy is safe, reliable, simple, accurate and has a high success rate. This new approach is good for clinical application when the conventional catheterization with ascites is blocked.
