ObjectiveTo discuss the current status and progress of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).MethodThe related researches about DGE after PD in recent year were searched and reviewed.ResultsThe etiology and pathogenesis of DGE had not yet been fully elucidated. There were various risk factors, such as the surgical trauma, advanced age, diabetes, and with other abdominal complications. The pylorus preserving PD didn’t increase the risk of DGE. The pylorus ring resection, anterior colon, Braun anastomosis, and minimally invasive surgery were beneficial for reducing DGE. Although there was no obvious progress in the treatment of DGE at home and abroad, the majority of patients could be cured by the symptomatic conservative treatment.ConclusionsPrevention is a main strategy for DGE after PD. Application of enhanced recovery after surgery might be a key to solve problem in clinical, but further research is needed.

0bjective To evaluate the efficacy of FEV6 and FEV1/FEV6 as surrogates for FVC and FEV1/FVC in the spirometric diagnosis of airway obstruction,and to determine the fixed cut-off point of FEV1/FEV6 which can be used as an alternative for FEV1/FVC lt; 70%.Methods Spirometry measurements were perform ed in 128 participants.FEV1,FEV6,FVC,FEV1%pred,FVC%pred,FEV1/FVC and FEV1/FEV6 were measured and analyzed.FEV1/FVClt;70% was used as the“gold standard”。Severity of obstruction was based on FEV % pred.From ROC curve analysis,the FEV1/FEV6 ratio,which corresponded to optimal combination of sensitivity and specificity,was determined.Correlation between FEV1/FVC and FEV1/FEV6 was studied.Results Of 128 participants,there were 65(51%)with FEV1/FVC ≥70% .Of the 63 participants with FEV1/FVC lt;70% ,there were 5 with FEV1/FEV6 between 70.09% to 71%。There was no significant difference between the mean value of FVC and that of FEV .Lifear correlation was revealed between FEV1/FVC and FEV1/FEV6 with the value close to 1(r=0.9979,Plt;0.0001).From ROC curve analysis,the FEV1/FEV6lt;71.14% was the best cut-off point coresponding to FEV1/FVC lt;70% .Conclusion These results suggest that FEV1/FEV6 is a valid alternative to FEV1/FVC for spirometric diagnosis of airw ay obstruction.There is a b corelation between FEV1/FEV6 and FEV1/FVC.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the methodological quality of cross-sectional surveys about Chinese medicine syndrome in a population at potential risk of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods The CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM and PubMed databases were electronically searched to collect cross-sectional surveys about Chinese medicine syndromes in a population at potential risk of cerebrovascular diseases from inception to December, 2022. The methodological quality was assessed using the JBI scale. Results A total of 105 studies were included. The average reporting rate of JBI was 52.06%, and the items with the highest scores included "sufficient coverage of the identified sample in data analysis" (100%), "description of study subjects and setting" (92.38%), and "using valid methods for the identification of the condition" (86.67%). Items with the lowest scores included "adequate sample size" (13.33%), "adequate response rate or low response rate managed appropriately" (14.29%), and "study participants recruited in an appropriate way" (20.95%). Subgroup analysis suggested that type of publication and number of implementation centers were potential factors influencing methodology quality (P<0.05). Conclusion The methods essential to a cross-sectional survey such as sampling, sample size calculation and handling with the response rate, and the syndrome diagnosis scales specific to Chinese medicine require further improvement.
To improve nursing interventions for patients with epilepsy and intellectual impairment. Epilepsy, as one of the common chronic neurological diseases, often coexists with intellectual impairment. This article reviews the treatment methods and related nursing measures for epilepsy patients with intellectual impairment, and proposes the application of comprehensive nursing concepts in clinical practice. The nursing of patients with epilepsy and intellectual impairment faces multiple challenges. Nursing activities provide personalized care needs, emphasize patient education, simplify medication treatment plans, and promote collaborative relationships between patients, nursing staff, and healthcare providers. Through evidence-based intervention, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative nursing models, nursing plays a crucial role in improving patient treatment outcomes and enhancing their quality of life.
ObjectiveTo review the association of gut microbiota and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (GID) in patients after abdominal surgery and to provide a new idea for the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery.MethodThe related and latest literatures were reviewed by searching the literatures on “intestinal flora” “gut microbiota” “intestinal microbial population” “brain-gut axis” “gastrointestinal function” “gastric paralysis” “intestinal paralysis” and “ileus” from January 1, 2000 to April 2, 2021 in Chinese and English databases.ResultsGut microbiota diversity was closely related to postoperative GID symptoms in patients after abdominal surgery. Gut microbiota regulated gastrointestinal motility and mucosal barrier function by metabolizing food to produce metabolites such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, melatonin, short-chain fatty acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and so on.ConclusionsThe imbalance of gut microbiota is closely related to postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery. However, the relevant bacterial metabolites that have been found are limited at present, and the relevant mechanism needs to be further investigated.
Objective To analyze the efficacy of music therapy on the rehabilitation of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and to provide a reference for rehabilitation intervention methods for PSCI. Methods Patients hospitalized in Beijing Bo’Ai Hospital, China Rehabilitation Research Center and diagnosed with PSCI between December 2020 and July 2022 were prospectively selected. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into a music therapy group and a control group. Both groups were given conventional neurology medication, nursing care, and conventional rehabilitation. The music therapy group received additional music therapy training, and both groups received treatment for one month. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA), and modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used before and after treatment to assess patients’ cognitive function, degree of neurological deficits, motor function and activities of daily live. Results A total of 48 patients were included, with 24 patients in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, education level, stroke type, lesion location, comorbidities, history of myocardial infarction or peripheral vascular disease, and smoking status between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Before and after treatment, most patients in the two groups did not score in terms of language and delayed recall scores, and the difference were not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in MoCA scores, visual space and executive function, naming, attention, calculation, abstract thinking, and orientation scores between the two groups of patients before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the MoCA score, visual space and executive function, naming, attention, calculation, abstract thinking, and orientation scores of the music therapy group improved compared to before treatment (P<0.05), while the MoCA score, visual space and executive function, naming, attention, and orientation scores of the control group improved compared to before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the improvement in MoCA scores [5.0 (3.0, 6.0) vs. 2.5 (1.0, 4.0)], attention [1.0 (0.0, 1.0) vs. 0.0 (0.0, 1.0)], and abstract thinking scores [0.0 (0.0, 1.0) vs. 0.0 (0.0, 0.0)] in the music therapy group were better than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in NIHSS, FMA, and MBI scores between the two groups of patients before treatment (P>0.05), and both groups improved after treatment compared to before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of NIHSS, FMA, and MBI scores between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with conventional rehabilitation therapy, training combined with music therapy is more beneficial for improving cognitive function in PSCI patients, especially in the cognitive domains of attention and abstract thinking. However, significant advantages have not been found in improving the degree of neurological impairment, limb motor function, and daily living activities.
