Objective:To design an auxiliary device based on embedded microcontroller system for venipuncture,which can adjust posture,so as to resolve the problem that occurs failure in puncture due to insufficient exposure of the puncture site in various scenarios.Methods:The device consisted of a support component,an air ring,a component with lifting and angle adjustment,and a pedestal.By advanced embedded microcontroller technique,it can precisely regulate the posture of the support structure of patient's limbs,and fully expose the targeted puncture site,and create more favorable conditions for nurses in performing punctures.A total of 2,482 patients who underwent blood collection at emergency department of the 305th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from September to October 2024 were selected.The 1,204 patients were enrolled in September were divided into control group(without using the auxiliary device for venipuncture),and the 1,278 patients were enrolled in October were divided into observation group(using the auxiliary device for venipuncture).The puncture's one-time success rates of junior nurses(experience≤3 years)for both groups were compared.Each group respectively selected 150 patients by using the random number table method to conduct investigate,and satisfaction scores for success rate of puncture,and comfort degree of puncture for position,as well as the pain,process and efficiency,were investigated Results:The puncture's one-time success rates of junior nurses for the patients of control and observation groups were respectively 85.05%and 89.36%,with a statistically significant difference(x2=10.35,P<0.05).The satisfaction scores of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(t=-5.529,P<0.05).Conclusion:This device is simple and convenient in operation,and has favorable stability.It is beneficial to adjust position and exposure puncture site for patients who undergo peripheral venipuncture.It can improve puncture's success rate and patients'satisfaction.

Objective·To investigate the association of serum osteoglycin(OGN)levels with renal function and blood pressure in non-diabetic patients with hypertension.Methods·Hypertensive patients without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus were recruited from the Hypertension Department of Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine.A total of 36 renal dysfunction patients(renal dysfunction group)and 38 normal renal function patients(normal renal function group),matched for age,gender and clinic blood pressure,were included in this study.Serum OGN concentrations were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)was calculated from serum creatinine using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPI)equation.The serum OGN levels were compared between the renal dysfunction group and the normal renal function group.The correlations of serum OGN level with eGFR and blood pressure were analyzed.Results·There was no significant statistical difference in serum OGN levels between the renal dysfunction group and the normal renal function group(P=0.708).Serum OGN levels were not significantly associated with eGFR(P=0.952).In the renal dysfunction group,mean arterial pressure,age and current smoking status were relevant factors of serum OGN levels(P<0.05).After adjustment for confounders,serum OGN levels were independently associated with clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressure,24-hour ambulatory mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the renal dysfunction group(P<0.05),but not in the normal renal function group(P?0.05).Conclusion·In non-diabetic patients with hypertension,serum OGN levels are not significantly associated with eGFR.In patients with renal dysfunction,higher serum OGN levels are independently associated with higher clinic systolic blood pressure,clinic diastolic blood pressure,24-hour ambulatory mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cognitive function and medication compliance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Patients with T2DM who were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology,Drum Tower Hospital,Nanjing University School of Medicine from July 2023 to December 2023 were selected.The clinical data and laboratory results of the patients were collected.The medication compliance of the patients was evaluated by Adherence to Refills and Medications Scales(ARMS).And the overall cognitive function and independent cognitive domain tests were performed.According to the diagnostic criteria of mild cognitive impairment(MCI),patients were divided into normal cognitive group and MCI group.Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between cognitive function and medication compliance in T2DM patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and poor medication compliance in T2DM patients.Results A total of 216 patients with T2DM were enrolled,including 113 patients with normal cognitive function and 103 patients with MCI.The ARMS score(16.4±4.1 vs.15.1±2.8)and the rate of poor medication compliance(54.4%vs.31.0%)in the MCI group were higher than those in the normal cognitive group(all P<0.05).After adjusting for gender,age,years of education and glycosylated hemoglobin,ARMS scores were significantly negatively correlated with immediate memory,attention and delayed memory scores(all P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with MCI had a higher risk of poor medication adherence[OR=2.645,95%CI=(1.414,4.946),P<0.001].Conclusions Poor cognitive function,especially memory and concentration,is associated with reduced medication compliance in patients with T2DM.Patients with memory and attention problems should be given appropriate medication advice to improve their compliance in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the current practice of nasogastric tube care and the training needs among nurses in the emergency departments of tertiary hospitals in Beijing, to provide a basis for further standardizing nasogastric tube care practices.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select head nurses and nurses from the emergency departments of 47 tertiary hospitals in Beijing in June 2024. A self-designed questionnaire on the current practice of nasogastric tube care and training needs was administered to the participants.Results:A total of 47 emergency departments from tertiary hospitals in Beijing were surveyed, of which only 25 departments implemented nasogastric tube techniques. In the key practices of nasogastric tube care, nine hospitals met the overall implementation standards, while 16 hospitals had substandard implementation. The key practices with poor standardization included the frequency of changing the nasogastric tube dressing, blind insertion (spiral nasogastric tube) through the pylorus, the recommended temperature for enteral nutrition liquids, and the timing for flushing the nasogastric tube. There were statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) in the presence of specialized nasogastric tube care teams and the use of case discussions or workshops for department training between hospitals with good and poor implementation. Moreover, 89.5% (496/554) of the nurses indicated a need for training related to nasogastric tube maintenance, and 91.9% (509/554) expressed willingness to participate in technical training or seminars. Statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) were found between emergency specialized nurses and non-specialized nurses in terms of preferred training frequency, duration, format, and content (sharing of the latest research and advancements) . Conclusions:Nasogastric tube techniques have not been widely implemented in the emergency departments of tertiary hospitals in Beijing. The standardization of nasogastric tube care needs further improvement, and there is a significant demand for training among emergency nurses, indicating an urgent need for specialized nasogastric tube training programs.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive intraoperative physical intervention to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity in patients with gynecological tumor surgery.Methods:From January 2020 to January 2021, 80 gynecological tumor patients undergoing surgery in Shanxi Provincial People 's Hospital were selected by convenience sampling as the research object. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the control group and the intervention group, each with 40 cases. The intervention group used intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPC) combined with graduated compression stockings (GCS) during the operation. In the control group, IPC was used alone for intervention. This study compared the blood flow rate and tube diameter of the lower extremity veins (common femoral vein, deep femoral vein, popliteal vein, and intermuscular vein) , blood coagulation indexes [prothrombin time (PT) , thrombin time (TT) , activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) , fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer]before and after operation and the incidence of lower extremity DVT on the third day after operation between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between postoperative D-dimer and lower extremity venous blood flow rate. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients in the preoperative lower extremity venous blood flow velocity and diameter ( P>0.05) . The comparison of postoperative lower extremity venous blood flow rate between the two groups were statistically significant ( t=2.217, 4.863, 2.946, 2.397; P<0.05) . The diameters of common femoral vein, deep femoral vein and intermuscular vein between the two groups were statistically different ( t=2.117, 2.756, 2.274; P<0.05) , and there was no significant difference in the diameter of popliteal vein ( P>0.05) . There was no significant difference in PT, TT, APTT, FIB, D-dimer between the two groups of patients before operation ( P>0.05) . The differences in FIB and D-dimer between the two groups of patients were statistically significant ( t=-2.338, -3.554; P<0.05) . The incidence of lower extremity DVT in the intervention group was 2.5% (1/40) on the third day after operation, and the incidence of lower extremity DVT in the control group was 20.0% (8/40) , and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=6.135, P<0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that postoperative D-dimer and lower extremity venous blood flow rate were negatively correlated ( r=-0.484, -0.442, -0.358, -0.308; P<0.01) . Conclusions:The application of comprehensive intraoperative physical intervention of IPC combined with GCS can reduce the incidence of DVT in the lower extremities of patients with gynecological tumors, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To explore the effect of intraoperative physical prevention on the occurrence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with gynecological tumors after operation.Methods:From January to December 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 79 gynecological tumor patients with operations in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital as the research object. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the observation group ( n=40) and the control group ( n=39) . The patients in the control group received graduated compression stocking (GCS) during the operation, and the patients in the observation group were treated with the GCS combined with the plantar arteriovenous pump. The blood coagulation indexes [D-dimer, prothrombin time (PT) , activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ], lower extremity (common femoral vein, deep femoral vein) venous diameter and blood flow rate before operation, immediately after operation, and on the third day after operation, and the incidence of DVT on the first day, third day, 1 month and 3 months after the operation were compared between the two groups. Results:Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there were interaction, between-group and time effects in the comparison of D-dimer, PT, and APTT before operation, immediately after operation, and on the third day after operation between the two groups. There were interactions, between-group, and time effects in the comparison of the diameter of the common femoral vein, the diameter of the deep femoral vein, and the venous blood flow rate. The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . On the first day, third day, 1 month and 3 months after operation, the incidences of DVT in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Intraoperative GCS combined with plantar arteriovenous pump can improve postoperative coagulation function in patients with gynecological tumors, accelerate venous blood flow rate of lower extremities, and reduce the incidence of DVT in patients.
