Abstract:Objective To investigate the contributing factors and nursing strategies for malnutrition in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods A total of 80 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy were enrolled from January 2023 to January 2024.Their nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Scale-Short Form(MNA-SF)to determine malnutrition prevalence.Demographic data including age and gender were collected to identify risk factors.Results Malnutrition was observed in 19(23.75%)of the 80 patients.Conclusion Multiple high-risk factors contribute to malnutrition during concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Clinical practice should prioritize monitoring these high-risk groups and implement targeted nursing strategies to ensure patients'physical and mental well-being.

Analysis of the therapeutic effect of pediatric xiao'er chiqiao qingre granules and amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium on acute tonsillitis

Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of Xiao'er Chiqiao Qingre Granules combined with injection of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium in the treatment of children with acute tonsillitis.Method A total of 116 cases of acute tonsillitis patients admitted to our hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were selected for the study.After random grouping,the control group(n=58)was treated with injection of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for intervention.The observation group was treated with a combination of Xiao'er Chiqiao Qingre Granules on the basis of the control group,and the therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the total effective rate of clinical treatment in the observation group was higher(96.55%vs 86.21%,χ2=10.157,P=0.000).The improvements of clinical symptoms of fever,sore throat and swallow obstruction in the obervation group were earlier than those in the control group[(1.01±0.46)d vs(1.65±0.32)d,(1.82±0.51)d vs(2.13±0.44)d,and(3.17±0.37)d vs(4.59±0.24)d;t=2.175,4.166,6.703;P=0.032,0.015,0.000,respectively].Compared with before treatment,the TCM symptom scores of both groups of children decreased after treatment,and the primary symptom score(6.79±1.32)and secondary symptom score(2.43±0.32)in the observation group were both lower than those in the control group[(8.73±1.27)and(3.75±0.26);t=8.066,24.382;P<0.001,<0.001,respectively].Compared with before treatment,the expression levels of CRP,IL-6 and IFN-γ in both groups of children decreased after treatment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(10.95±1.79)mg/L vs(13.59±2.01)mg/L,(8.67±1.80)ng/L vs(10.09±1.85)ng/L,(20.07±4.87)ng/L vs(26.24±4.55)ng/L;t=7.470,4.190,7.050;P<0.001,<0.001,<0.001,respectively].There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of Xiao'er Chiqiao Qingre Granules and amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium is effective in treating acute tonsillitis in children,accelerating symptom recovery,reducing inflammation,and ensuring safety.

Analysis of the effect of nursing intervention in the atomization treatment of chronic pharyngitis

Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of nursing intervention in patients with chronic pharyngitis treated with atomization inhalation.Methods A total of 30 patients with chronic pharyngitis admitted from January 2018 to October 2023 were selected and divided by double-blind method into a control group(15 cases,routine nursing care)and an observation group(15 cases,comprehensive nursing care).The two groups were comparable in general data(P>0.05).Symptom scores,anxiety,quality of life,incidence of oral ulcers,and satisfaction were compared.Results The observation group showed lower symptom scores[throat itching:(0.52±0.14)vs(1.65±0.58),anxiety scores:(22.34±4.08)vs(35.80±6.27)],lower incidence of oral ulcers(6.67%vs 40.00%),higher quality of life score[(95.52±6.39)vs(75.48±5.21)],and higher satisfaction(100.00%vs 66.67%)compared with the control group(all P<0.01).Conclusion Comprehensive nursing care can effectively improve symptoms,alleviate anxiety,and enhance quality of life and satisfaction in chronic pharyngitis patients undergoing atomization treatment.

Efficacy stratification and corresponding influencing factors of the first 131I treatment after surgery for intermediate-to high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer

Abstract:Objective To analyze the efficacy stratification and corresponding influencing factors of the first 131 I treatment after surgery for intermediate-to high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer.Methods A total of 90 patients with intermediate-to high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent surgery in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects.According to the initial dose of 131 I,they were divided into three groups:low dose group(1.11~3.70 GBq),medium dose group(3.70~5.55 GBq),and high dose group(5.55~7.40 GBq).The clinical efficacy and its related influencing factors of 131 I treatment were analyzed.Results After 131 I treatment,90 patients underwent follow-up examination at(4±1)months,and the results showed that 62 cases achieved successful thyroid remnant ablation,with a success rate of 68.89%.There were statistically significant differences(P<0.001)in the thyroid surgery method,time to surgery,and serum TSH level before treatment between patients with successful and unsuccessful thyroid remnant ablation.The thyroid surgery method(OR=7.584,P<0.001),the time to surgery(OR=0.721,P<0.001),and the serum TSH level before treatment(OR=8.428,P<0.001)were independent influencing factors for the efficacy of the first 131 I treatment after thyroid cancer surgery.Conclusion The type of thyroid surgery,surgical time,and serum TSH level before treatment are important factors affecting the efficacy of the first 131 I treatment for thyroid cancer after surgery.
