Objective To systematically review the advantages and disadvantages of capping and non-capping decannulation strate-gies in adult tracheostomized patients.Methods The PICO framework was developed.Literatures on decannulation measures in adult tracheostomized patients were searched in PubMed,EMbase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Database and SinoMed from establish-ment to February 1st,2025.The non-capping group included patients who underwent decannulation after passing the assessment,without≥24 hours of tube capping.The capping group included patients who underwent≥24 hours of tube occlusion before decannulation.Study types included randomized controlled trial(RCT),cohort studies,and case-control studies.The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS)was used to evaluate the quality of non-ran-domized studies,while the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was applied to assess RCTs.The GRADE was used to evaluate the evidence quality of outcome measures.Relevant information was extracted from the included studies for systematic review.Results A total of six studies were ultimately included,published between 2003 and 2020,originating from Spain,Chi-na,Nepal,and Israel,involving 745 patients.Non-RCT studies scored six to eight points on NOS.Among RCT,one study had a low risk of bias,while another had a moderate risk based on the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool.Capping strategies included complete capping for 24 to 48 hours before decannulation,stepwise tube downsizing followed by capping,and progressive capping prior to decannulation.Non-capping strategies involved immediate decannulation after passing the assessment or following endoscopic evaluation.Compared with the capping strat-egy,non-capping decannulation significantly reduced decannulation time and incidence of adverse events.No sig-nificant differences were observed in decannulation success rates or pulmonary infection rates between the two strategies.However,findings on pulmonary infections and adverse events were inconsistent across studies.Ac-cording to the GRADE assessment,the strength of evidence was rated as low for decannulation success rate and decannulation time,and very low for incidence of pulmonary infection and adverse events.Conclusion For adult tracheostomized patients,non-capping decannulation strategy appears superior to capping strategy,demonstrating shorter decannulation time and reduced adverse events.No significant difference were observed in decannulation success rates and pulmonary infection rates between the two strategies.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of fasting nasogastric administration of sesame oil combined with multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage in stroke patients with consti-pation undergoing nasogastric feeding.Methods A total of 50 stroke patients with nasogastric feeding were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group and study group,with 25 pa-tients in each group.The control group received routine nursing care plus multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage,while the study group received fasting nasogastric administration of 20 mL of sesa-me oil on the basis of the control group's treatment.After 15 days of intervention,the defecation condi-tions[constipation clinical symptom score(CSS),stool consistency(Bristol stool scale),and stool volume]were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the CSS score in the study group was lower than that in the control group[(6.52±2.52)versus(12.64±3.32),P＜0.05].The normal stool consistency(types Ⅳ and Ⅴ on the Bristol stool scale)in the study group was higher than that in the control group(76.0％versus 8.0％,P＜0.05).The stool volume in the study group was higher than that in the control group[(303.00±93.79)g versus(196.40±60.27)g,P＜0.05].The total effective rate of defecation in the study group was 96.0％,which was higher than 32.0％in the control group(P＜0.05).The Patient Assessment of Constipation-Quality of Life(PAC-QOL)score in the study group was lower than that in the control group[(40.07±5.67)versus(63.07±7.46),P＜0.05].Conclusion Fasting nasogastric administration of sesame oil com-bined with multi-frequency vibrational abdominal massage can promote the recovery of intestinal function and improve constipation symptoms in stroke patients with nasogastric feeding.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of paeoniflorin,amygdalin,ferulic acid and ligustrazine in Modified buying huanwu decoction.METHODS:RP-HPLC method was adopted.The determination was performed on YMC C18 column with the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1％ phosphoric acid (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The detection wavelengths were set at 320 nm (femlic acid),230 nm (paeoniflorin),207 nm (amygdalin),280 nm (ligustrazine).The column temperature was 30 ℃,and sample size was 10 μL.RESULTS:The linear ranges of paeoniflorin,amygdalin,femlic acid and ligustrazine were 0.191 2-1.912 μg/mL (r=0.999 6),0.117 4-1.174 μg/mL (r=0.999 6),0.011 5-0.115 μg/mL (r=0.999 8) and 0.001 66-0.016 6 μg/mL(r=0.999 7),respectively.The limits of quantitation were 1.912,1.174,0.115,0.016 6 μg/mL,and the limits of detection were 0.25,0.40,0.05,0.008 5 μg/mL,respectively.RSDs of precision,stability and reproducible tests were all lower than 2.0％.The recoveries were 96.9％-100.3％ (RSD=1.3％,n=6),95.1％-100.3％ (RSD=2.2％,n=6),95.3％-100.2％ (RSD=2.0％,n=6)and 97.0％-100.0％ (RSD=1.3％,n=6).CONCLUSIONS:The method is reliable,simple and accurate,and is suitable for simultaneous determination of paeoniflorin,amygdalin,ferulic acid and ligustrazine in Modified buyang huanwu decoction.

Objective To evaluate whether the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) questionnaire (GerdQ) symptom score could reflect the acid exposure indicated by 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring in patients with GERD, and to further validate the clinical application value of GerdQ.Methods From November 2008 to March 2010, 134 GERD patients from outpatient department with heartburn and acid reflux symptoms were enrolled.All the patients had undergone endoscopy examination, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and GerdQ scoring.According to 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring result, acid exposure group and none acid exposure group was divided by the percentage of time that pH was lower than 4 over 4.2% or DeMeester score over 14.72, the difference of GerdQ score was assessed.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of GerdQ score was drawn according to DeMeester score and the percentage of time that pH was lower than 4 as the gold standard.With SPSS 17.0 statistical software, the ratio was compared with the u test and Chi-square test, comparison between groups with t test.Results The BMI of acid exposure group was higher than that of none acid exposure group(t= 2.365, P= 0.019).The GerdQ score of acid exposure group (8.51± 2.34) was significantly higher than that of none acid exposure group (6.67 ± 2.79), the difference was statistically significant (t = 4.002, P = 0.000) .ROC curve was drawn according to DeMeester score over 14.72 as gold standard; the area under curve (AUC) was 0.70.When the critical value of GerdQ score was 7.5, Youden index was up to 0.3365, the sensitivity of diagnosis was 0.6909 and specificity was 0.6454.The percentage of time that PH was lower than 4 over 4.2% as the gold standard, the AUC of GerdQ score was 0.663.When the critical value of GerdQ score was 7.5, Youden index was up to 0.2790, the sensitivity of diagnosis was 0.6600 and specificity was 0.6190.Conclusions GerdQ score greater than 7.5 can better reflect acid exposure at the lower esophageal.There is stronger association between GerdQ score with the DeMeester acid exposure score over 14.72 than with the percentage of time that pH lower than 4 over 4.2% as the critical value for acid exposure.Obesity may aggravate the transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation leading to occurrence of GERD symptoms.

[Objective] To observe the influence of Red Sage and Propranolol on portal hypertension rats' pressure,liver fibrosis and gastric-intestinal hormone.[Method] At 4w after making models,rats take the said medicines,then measure their portal pressure with biological signal Medlab-Ug4Cs collection and treatment system;after decapitation,measure the indexes with radio-immune method.[Result] In model group(1),the portal pressure is much more increased than normal one(2),that in Red Sage treatment(3) and Propranolol(4) groups is much lowered,so are gastrin and glucagon;compared to group 1,the gastrin,motilin and glucagon in group 3 are much decreased,so are compared to group 4.[Conclusion] Red Sage can effectively reduce portal pressure,liver fibrosis index and regulate gastro-intestinal hormone,with cure effect better than propranolol.
