This study was designed to explore the efficacy of budesonide (BUD) in preventing and treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants and its effect on pulmonary function.

A total of 94 premature infants with BPD who were born in our hospital were selected as the research subjects and divided into the control group (47 cases) for routine treatment and the research group (47 cases) for BUD therapy on the basis of routine treatment according to the random number table method. The incidence of BPD and the time of oxygen inhalation, ventilator ventilation, extubation and hospitalization were recorded in the two groups. In addition, arterial blood gas indexes (arterial oxygen saturation (SaO

), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO

), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO

)), inflammatory response indicators (interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α)), pulmonary function indexes (the ratio of time taken to reach peak expiratory flow to total expip (all P<0.001). The incidence of BPD and other complications in the research group were lower than that in the control group (8.51%, 6.38% vs. 23.40%, 21.28%; P=0.049, 0.036).

BUD is effective in the prevention and treatment of BPD in premature infants, which can effectively reduce the incidence of BPD and other complications, improve blood gas indexes, reduce inflammatory reactions and promotes good pulmonary function in children.

To explore the effect of a high-quality nursing model employing low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation combined with early systemic functional exercises on the function of the affected limb in brachial plexus injury patients.

A total of 98 brachial plexus injury patients admitted to our hospital were recruited as the research cohort. All the patients were treated with surgery to repair, release, and transfer or transplant nerves according to each patient’s condition. After the operations, the patients were randomly divided into one of two groups the control group (n=49) or the research group (n=49). The control group did early systemic functional exercises, while the research group was administered low frequency pulse electrical stimulation in addition to doing the early systemic functional exercises. The clinical efficacy, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores before and after the treatment, the brachial plexus function scores, the nerve conduction velocities and amplitudes, the SF-36 questionnaires

This study was designed to investigate the effect of high-quality nursing (HQN) intervention on psychological emotion, quality of life (QOL) and nursing satisfaction of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) undergoing radiotherapy.

Fifty-eight NPC patients receiving radiotherapy in our hospital between August 2017 and February 2019 were selected and divided into two groups according to different nursing intervention models. Among them, the control group (CG; 28 cases) was given routine nursing intervention, while the research group (RG; 30 cases) was treated with HQN intervention. GSK650394 The efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were evaluated. Health knowledge awareness rate, psychological mood, QOL, sleep quality and nursing satisfaction were compared between CG and RG.

RG presented significantly higher efficacy and notably lower incidence of adverse reactions than CG after 3 months of nursing intervention. Patients in RG acquired evidently higher knowledge awareness rate r, sleep quality and nursing satisfaction.

The aim of this study was to summarize the care modalities, experiences, and corresponding precautions of ECMO for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Seventy-three patients with acute exacerbations of COPD were enrolled, of whom 38 were treated with ECMO (experimental group) and 35 received conventional low-flow oxygen therapy, management of metabolic acidosis, infection control, bronchodilators for quick relief from severe spasms, and glucocorticoid-mediated suppression of inflammation (control group). The improvement in the patient’s pulmonary ventilation and the incidence of complications were recorded.

PaCO

is lower in patients using ECMO, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and FEV1% are significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group, and the respiratory rate, heart rate, and CO

saturation are significantly lower in patients in the experimental group (i.e., the experimental group) after oxygenation than in the control group, pH and O

saturation are significantly higher in experimental group than in the control group, and the incidence of complications in experimental group is significantly higher than in the control group.

ECMO significantly improves gas exchange in patients, but also increases the incidence of complications with the extension of usage, so the duration of ECMO support should be monitored and the complications should be prevented.

To analyze the effects of behavioral and psychological interventions on the neurological function in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients.

A total of 103 patients with PD admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into the observation group (OG, n=52) or the control group (CNG, n=51). The CNG was treated with routine nursing, while the OG was treated with behavioral and psychological interventions.

At 1, 2, and 3 months after the nursing, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, the unified PD disease rating scale III (UPDRS-III) scores, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores in both groups were lower than they were before the nursing, the NIHSS, UPDRS-III, and PSQI scores in the OG were lower than they were in the CNG, the General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores and the Barthel scores in both groups were higher than they were before the nursing, and the GSES, MMSE, and Barthel scores in the OG were higher than they were in the CNG (
