Objective. To explore the clinical effect of root canal therapy combined with full crown restoration in patients with cracked teeth and chronic pulpitis. Methods. From May 2018 to June 2020, 87 patients with cracked teeth and chronic pulpitis in our hospital were selected; the patients were randomly divided into the control group and the research group by random number method. The control group only used root canal therapy; the research group used root canal therapy combined with full crown restoration. The therapeutic effect, levels of inflammatory factors, chewing function, periodontal index, complications, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results. The total effective rate of the research group (97.78%) was better than the total effective rate of the control group (85.71%) ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with before treatment, the serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) of the two groups of patients decreased after treatment. After treatment, compared with the control group, the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and CRP in the research group decreased ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with before treatment, the bite force of teeth and chewing efficiency of the two groups of patients increased after treatment. After treatment, compared with the control group, the bite force of teeth and chewing efficiency of the research group increased ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with before treatment, the plaque index (PLI), probing depth (PD), gingival sulcus bleeding index (BI), and gingival index (GI) of the two groups of patients decreased after treatment. After treatment, compared with the control group, the PLI, PD, BI, and GI of the research group decreased ( P < 0.05 ). The total incidence of complications in the research group was (11.11%), and the total incidence of complications in the control group was (16.67%); there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ). After treatment, compared with the control group, the quality of life scores of the patients in the research group were reduced ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Root canal therapy and full crown restoration have a definite curative effect in patients with cracked teeth and chronic pulpitis, which can improve the inflammatory response, restore chewing function, maintain periodontal health, improve the quality of life, and do not increase the incidence of complications, so it has good application value.

Early full nursing helps patients with some dysfunctions speed up the reorganization of central nervous system functions and coordinate muscle and limb activities. Postdischarge continuation nursing for patients who have not fully recovered after being discharged from the hospital can transfer nursing work from the hospital to the family to meet their nursing needs. In this study, early full nursing combined with postdischarge continuation nursing was used for patients with traumatic brain injury to explore its efficacy and its impact on patients' motor function, quality of life, and complications. The results of the study show that the total effective rate of the observation group (95.92%) was higher than that of the control group (85.71%). At discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge, the upper limb Fugl-Meyer score, lower limb Fugl-Meyer score, ARAT score, FIM score, 4 dimensions of GQOLI-74 score, and Barthel index scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group in the same period. The postoperative complication rate (10.20%) of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (26.53%). Early full nursing combined with postdischarge continuation nursing can improve the rehabilitation effect, effectively promote the recovery of motor function in patients with traumatic brain injury, improve the quality of life, and reduce postoperative complications.

Objective. This study was to compare the effects of symptomatic treatment and high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) treatment on patients with advanced lung cancer complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to explore the clinical application effect of HFNC treatment in such patients. Methods. 80 patients with advanced lung cancer and COPD admitted to the hospital were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into a control group (n = 40) and an observation group (n = 40). The computed tomography (CT) image data of all patients were classified. The neural network was trained to obtain the network weights. Based on surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, patients in the control group received anti-inflammatory, phlegm, and other symptomatic treatments, while patients in the observation group received HFNC treatment on this basis. The blood gas analysis results, clinical symptoms (cough, wheezing, rales, etc.), inflammatory factors (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), plateletcrit (PCT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)), and quality of life of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results. When the model MSE was the smallest, the corresponding hidden layer neuron node value was 49, so 49 was set as the optimal number of hidden layer neuron nodes. CT images were imported into the constructed model system, and the model diagnosis system could still diagnose and classify under the premise that the pathological characteristics were not obvious. There was no significant difference in clinical data between the two groups of patients before treatment ( P > 0.05 ). After treatment, the clinical symptoms, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), hs-CRP, PCT, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels were greatly reduced; those of patients in the observation group were much better in contrast to those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The total effective rate in the observation group was 97.5%, and the effective rate in the control group was 87.5%. After treatment, the functional assessment of cancer therapy-lung (FACT-L) score was obviously higher than that before treatment ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the quality of life in the observation group was increased by 45.69% compared with that before treatment, and the quality of life in the control group was increased by 35.77%. Conclusion. HFNC therapy can improve the lung function of patients with advanced lung cancer and COPD, alleviate the development of the disease, and improve the quality of life of patients.
