Objective To explore the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on postoperative recovery, psychological state and complications of patients with laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. Methods Ninety-eight patients with laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery admitted to Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were enrolled and they were divided into two groups (49 cases in each group) according to difference in nursing. During peri-operative period, the routine nursing group was given routine nursing; while the ERAS nursing group received the nursing of ERAS. The postoperative recovery, inflammatory response and nutritional status, complications, psychological state and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the routine nursing group, the gastrointestinal tract exhaust time, common food intake time, incision healing time, ambulation time and hospital stay were significantly shorter in ERAS nursing group [gastrointestinal tract exhaust time (days): 2.43±1.02 vs. 3.46±1.15, common food intake time (days): 4.24±1.36 vs. 6.23±1.52, incision healing time (days): 7.62±1.54 vs. 9.63±1.63, ambulation time (days): 8.80±2.32 vs. 11.24±2.02, hospital stay (days):10.23±2.12 vs.14.56±2.37, all P < 0.05]. After operation, the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the two groups was increased first and then decreased, and the levels of transferrin (TRF) and prealbumin (PA) were decreased first and then increased, and the differences were statistically significant at different time points within-groups (P < 0.05), and the changes of indexes in the 5 days after operation in the ERAS nursing group were more significant than those in the routine nursing group [hs-CRP (mg/L): 27.4±6.2 vs. 35.6±9.1, TRF (g/L): 1.89±0.05 vs. 1.81±0.06, PA (mg/L):340±20 vs. 280±20, all P < 0.05]. The postoperative incidences of nausea and vomiting and sore throat in ERAS nursing group were significantly lower than those in routine nursing group [nausea and vomiting: 32.65% (16/49) vs. 67.35% (33/49), sore throat: 12.24% (6/49) vs. 51.02% (25/49), both P < 0.05], and there were no significant differences in postoperative incidences of abdominal distension, incision infection, pulmonary infection and anastomotic leakage between the two groups [abdominal distension: 4.08% (2/49) vs. 6.12% (3/49), incision infection: 4.08% (2/49) vs. 6.12% (3/49), pulmonary infection: 2.04% (1/49) vs. 6.12% (3/49), anastomotic leakage: 2.04% (1/49) vs. 4.08% (2/49), all P >0.05]. The scores of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) at discharge in the two groups were lower than those before operation, and the degree of decrease in ERAS nursing group was greater than that in routine nursing group (39.21±4.64 vs. 46.56±4.53, P < 0.05). The nursing satisfaction rate in ERAS nursing group was significantly higher than that in routine nursing group [95.92% (47/49) vs. 77.55% (38/49), P < 0.05]. Conclusion ERAS for laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery not only can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improve the nutritional status and reduce inflammatory response and postoperative complications, but also can relieve anxiety, shorten hospital stay and elevate nursing satisfaction, therefore it is worthy to promote and apply in clinical nursing.

Objective To analyze the blood arsenic concentration and the safety of compound Qinghuang powder(compound QHP)in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).Methods A total of 45 MDS patients received treatment with compound QHP (the treatment group, n=45). The concentration of blood arsenic in different time was determined by atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The clinical safety of compound QHP was evaluated by analyzing the symptoms of adverse reaction and organ function. The comparison were MDS patients with Qinghuang powder (QHP group, n=47) and healthy people. Results There was no significant difference of the blood arsenic concentration between the treatment group and the healthy control group (P=0.450),while after the treatment for 1 month those concentrations significantly increased (P=0.000). There were no significant difference between the blood arsenic concentration after treatment for 1, 3, and 6 months (P=0.240). The incidence of adverse reaction in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in QHP group(χ2=4.720, P=0.030). The incidence of adverse reactions in the digestive tract was significantly lower in the treatment group than that in QHP group (χ2=4.650, P=0.034). The blood arsenic concentration of patients with abdominal pain diarrhea was significantly lower than those without abdominal pain diarrhea (P=0.020). Before treatment in the compound QHP group, there were 21 cases with increased myocardial enzymes, 10 cases with abnormal liver function and 4 cases with renal dysfunction, respectively. After treatment at 6th month, these indicators returned to normal with 7 cases of myocardial enzymes, 6 cases of liver function and 1 case of renal function, respectively. There was no new case with abnormal myocardial enzymes, liver function and renal dysfunction, respectively. Conclusions Arsenic could be absorbed in the digestive tract into blood in MDS patients after treatment with arsenic-containing compound QHP, and the blood arsenic concentration remained stable during the course of treatment. The adverse reactions were mainly mild gastrointestinal symptoms, but no heart, liver or renal function damage was observed. The incidence of abdominal pain diarrhea in patients treated with compound QHP was significantly lower than that with QHP.

Objective To evaluate the effect of tirofiban injection in coronary artery occlusion by suction catheter on the opening time of the coronary artery occlusion , the improvement of the blood flow and the incidence of adverse events in 30 days. Methods A total of 97 patients with acute myocardial infarction in recent 4 years were included , whose culprit vessels were subtotal occlusion or total occlusion by angiography and were randomly divided into thrombus aspiration group (group A) and tirofiban injection in occlusion and thrombus aspiration group (group B). The opening time of the coronary artery, the improvement of the blood flow and the incidence of adverse events in 30 days were compared between two groups. Results The opening time of the coronary artery occlusion in group A was shortened when compared with group B but the blood flow arriving TIMI III grade in group B was shorter (P < 0.05). No-reflow incidence in group B was lower while the proportion of blood flow arriving TIMI III grade was higher than that in group A in early phase (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse events in 30 days was decreased in group B when compared with group A ,but the difference wasn't statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion Direct tirofiban injection in coronary artery occlusion could effectively shorten the opening time of the coronary artery occlusion reduce no-reflow incidence , and improve coronary perfusion but could not decrease the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in 30 days.
