The intervention and prevention of perioperative hypothermia is not only reflected in the technical level, but also reveals the important role of humanistic care in the whole intervention work. If perioperative patients have hypothermia, it is likely to cause a series of complications such as postoperative shivering, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Prevention and intervention was based on a comprehensive understanding of the causes and hazards of hypothermia, especially the impact on the lives of the elderly. Effective supervision was implemented in the whole process of operation, such as dynamic monitoring of vital signs including body temperature, followed by room temperature regulation, body temperature protection and preoperative and postoperative psychological nursing. At this time, the sense of responsibility, good humanistic care of medical staff are of positive significance to effectively prevent and reduce the probability of perioperative hypothermia and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients.

ObjectiveTo establish a UHPLC-MS/MS quantitative method for the determination of glucuronic acid, tartaric acid, glycolic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, DL-2-hydroxybutyric acid sodium, mandelic acid, benzilic acid, hydroxycaprylic acid, lactobionic acid, gluconic acid and N-acetylneuraminic acid in cosmetics. MethodsSamples were prepared by ultrasonic extraction, cleansed by precipitating reagent and followed by high-speed centrifugation of the extraction solution. The supernatant was filtered by 0.22 μm Millipore filter. The continued filtrate was taken for analysis. A reversed phase column, Poroshell 120 EC-C18 (2.7 μm, 4.6 mm×1 000 mm) was used with 0.1% formic acid buffer and acetonitrile as the mobile phase under the condition of gradient elution. The analytes were detected with electrospray ionization source in negative ion mode (ESI-) and multiple reactions monitoring (MRM), and quantified by external standard curve. ResultsThe method showed a good linearity of glucuronic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, DL-2-hydroxybutyric acid sodium, benzilic acid, hydroxycaprylic acid and N-acetylneuraminic acid within the concentration range of 50.0‒2 000.0 μg·L-1 (r>0.995). The method showed a good linearity of glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and mandelic acid within the concentration range of 100.0‒5 000.0 μg·L-1 (r>0.995). The method showed a good linearity of lactobionic acid and gluconic acid within the concentration range of 50.0‒5 000.0 μg·L-1 (r>0.995). The recoveries were in the range of 92.3%‒114.1%; the relative standard deviations (RSD) were in the range of 0.9%‒6.0% (n=3). The detection limits of glucuronic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, DL-2-hydroxybutyric acid sodium, mandelic acid, benzilic acid, hydroxycaprylic acid, lactobionic acid, gluconic acid and N-acetylneuraminic acid were 0.003% while the detection limits of glycolic acid, lactic acid and mandelic acid were 0.006%. In 10 batches of commercially available cosmetics, eight batches showed positive result. ConclusionThe UHPLC-MS/MS method is efficient, sensitive and accurate and is applicable to the determination of 13 α-hydroxy acidic components in cosmetics.
