Objective To evaluate the effects of inhaled conditioning with a mixture of lavender oil and citrus oil on sleep and depressive symptoms in puerperium women. Methods A randomized controlled trial design was used in this study. Convenience sampling method was used to select 144 pregnant women who gave birth in different hospitals in Shenzhen and were willing to spend the puerperium in the maternity center. According to the random number table method, the subjects were divided into the control group (n=68) and the intervention group (n=76). The intervention was mixed inhalation of lavender oil and citrus oil. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and numerical rating Scale (NRS) were used to evaluate the subjects before and after the intervention. Results After the intervention, the PSQI total score, EPDS total score and pain score of the intervention group were significantly lower than those before the intervention (P<0.05). In particular, the intervention group showed the most significant improvements in sleep quality, time to fall asleep, sleep disturbance, and hypnotic medication use (P<0.05), while the control group showed improvements only in time to fall asleep and sleep disturbance. In addition, pain scores decreased in both groups, but the decrease was greater in the intervention group. Conclusions Inhalation of lavender oil and citrus oil can effectively improve the sleep quality, depression and pain of puerperium women, and provide a safe and effective non-drug therapy for puerperium women.

Background::Life’s Simple 7, the former construct of cardiovascular health (CVH) has been used to evaluate adverse non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). However, some flaws have been recognized in recent years and Life’s Essential 8 has been established. In this study, we aimed to analyze the association between CVH defined by Life’s Essential 8 and risk of 44 common NCDs and further estimate the population attributable fractions (PAFs) of low-moderate CVH scores in the 44 NCDs.Methods::In the UK Biobank, 170,726 participants free of 44 common NCDs at baseline were included. The Life’s Essential 8 composite measure consists of four health behaviours (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, and sleep) and four health factors (body mass index, non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure), and the maximum CVH score was 100 points. CVH score was categorized into low, moderate, and high groups. Participants were followed up for 44 NCDs diagnosis across 10 human system disorders according to the International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (ICD-10) code using linkage to national health records until 2022. Cox proportional hazard models were used in this study. The hazard ratios (HRs) and PAFs of 44 NCDs associated with CVH score were examined.Results::During the median follow-up of 10.85 years, 58, 889 incident NCD cases were documented. Significant linear dose-response associations were found between higher CVH score and lower risk of 25 (56.8%) of 44 NCDs. Low-moderate CVH (<80 points) score accounted for the largest proportion of incident cases in diabetes (PAF: 80.3%), followed by gout (59.6%), sleep disorder (55.6%), chronic liver disease (45.9%), chronic kidney disease (40.9%), ischemic heart disease (40.8%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (40.0%), endometrium cancer (35.8%), lung cancer (34.0%), and heart failure (34.0%) as the top 10. Among the eight modifiable factors, overweight/obesity explained the largest number of cases of incident NCDs in endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases (35.4%), digestive system disorders (21.4%), mental and behavioral disorders (12.6%), and cancer (10.3%); however, the PAF of ideal sleep duration ranked first in nervous system (27.5%) and neuropsychiatric disorders (9.9%).Conclusions::Improving CVH score based on Life’s Essential 8 may lower risk of 25 common NCDs. Among CVH metrics, avoiding overweight/obesity may be especially important to prevent new cases of metabolic diseases, NCDs in digestive system, mental and behavioral disorders, and cancer.

Objective A correlation method for evaluating operation quality of air conditioning systems is proposed , based on the outdoor and the indoor temperature history data of the terminal user from internet of things for the central air conditioning system , for lacking efficient way to evaluate . Methods A methematical model is set up based on the variance ratio of the data of the indoor and out temperture obtained from IOT within a given time interval , and theoretically induce the possibility and correctness to employ these index to evaluate the operation quality of the central air conditioning system . Results A typical central air conditioning system of a large sacal hospital is analyzed , the results shows the variance ratio of the indoor and outdoor temperature can reflect the capacity of the central air conditioning system for controlling the indoor temperature . Conclusion The method proposed for evaluating the op-eration quality of the air conditioning system based on IOT system is theotically correct and practically efficient , and can be employed to evaluate the operation quality of the air conditioning system of large scale medical buildings .

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors and pathogenic characteristics of catheterrelated infection (CRI) in intensive care unit (ICU),so as to find a better way for its treatment.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 247 deep-venous catheter (DVC) from January 2007 to December 2010.ResultsAmong 247 patients,positive results of 41 patients diagnosed CRI,negative results of 206 patients undiagnosed CRI.Compared with undiagnosed CRI patients,found the correlation of the underlying infectious diseases,indwelling time of catheter and puncture sites associated with CRI occurred(P < 0.05 ).CRI major pathogen was gram-positive bacteria (58.5%,24/41 ),in which Staphylococcus epidermis was the major pathogenic bacteria(22.0%,9/41).The drug resistance occurred in most pathogen.Conclusions The occurrence of CRI is related with multiple clinical factors.The gram-positive bacteria is the major pathogen.The etiological monitor should be enforced in patients with DVC.
