Objective. This study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy and relevant mechanism of Tripterygium glycosides combined with low molecular weight heparin calcium (LMWH) in the treatment of Henoch–Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) in children. Methods. 64 cases of children patients with HSPN treated at Qilu Hospital (Qingdao) from January 2015 to May 2020 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group and 32 cases in each group. Conventional medical treatment was applied in the two groups, besides which the control group was given LMWH while the observation group was given Tripterygium glycosides based on the control group. The clinical efficacy and the indexes of clinical symptoms of the two groups were compared. Immune globulin level, fibrinogen content (FIB), prothrombin time (PT), platelet level (PLT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) level of the two groups were compared before and after the treatment. Results. The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group. After treatment, urine red blood cell count and 24 h urine protein were obviously better than those of the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in PT between the two groups of children before and after treatment. The levels of PLT and FIB in the two groups of patients after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment, and the PLT levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. Conclusion. The combination of Tripterygium glycosides and LMWH had good clinical effects in the treatment of children with HSPN, and it could improve the clinical symptoms, the mechanism of which might be related to the increase of PT, a decrease of PLT, and the improvement of coagulation function.

Objective: To study and compare the clinical effects of azithromycin and erythromycin on children with mycoplasma pneumonia. Methods: Total 132 children with mycoplasma pneumonia who were admitted to our hospital between November 2017 and September 2018 were selected as the research subjects. All the children were divided into an observation group and a control group according to random number table, 66 each. The observation group was treated with azithromycin, while the control group was treated with erythromycin. The therapeutic effect, incidence of adverse reactions and disappearance time of clinical symptoms were compared between the two groups. Results: The total efficacy of the observation group was 98.04%, and that of the control group was 74.51%; there was a significant difference (X2=7.184, P=0.007). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 15.69%, significantly lower than that in the control group (41.18%) (X2=6.376, P=0.002). The disappearance of fever, cough, rale and X ray shadow of the observation group was significantly earlier than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with erythromycin, azithromycin is more effective in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children. Azithromycin can further shorten the improvement time of clinical symptoms and signs and has few adverse reactions and high safety.

To explore the clinical value of octreotide therapy and nursing intervention in patients with acute pancreatitis. 120 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to the Department of Digestive Medicine from June 2018 to August 2019 were selected. Two groups of patients were treated with octreotide. They were randomly divided into observation group (intensive nursing intervention) and control group (routine nursing) with 60 patients in each group. Compared with the control group (81.67%), the total effective rate (93.33%) was higher in the observation group (P<0.05%); After treatment, C reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, WBC and hemodiastase of patients in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05); compared with the control group (18.33%), the occurrence rate of hypoglycemia in the observation group (6.67%) was lower (P<0.05%); At the same time, the Nursing Satisfaction Scale of the observation group (95.00%) was higher than that of the control group (78.33%), (P<0.05%). Patients with acute pancreatitis treated with octreotide and strengthened nursing intervention can obtain more obvious therapeutic effect, so that the clinical symptoms and related laboratory indicators of patients have been significantly improved. At the same time, the clinical value was significant with a lower occurrence rate of hypoglycemia and higher nursing satisfaction scale.

 Objective: Investigate the effectiveness of nursing risk management in the care of critically ill patients in the respiratory unit. Methods: Among the critically ill respiratory patients admitted to our hospital between May 2019 and April 2020, 78 patients were randomly selected and divided into an observation group and a control group, each consisting of 39 patients. In the observation group, a nursing risk management model was implemented, i.e., patients' clinical symptoms were observed at any time to monitor their treatment satisfaction and the effectiveness of their care and routine care was implemented for the control group. Results: The heart rate, respiratory rate, and pH of patients in the observation group were more stable than those in the control group, and their respiratory status was better, with differences in data. There was also significant statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of patient-provider disputes, unplanned extubation, and unplanned events were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, and their data difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The treatment satisfaction as well as the total effective rate of patients in the observation group was also much higher than that of the control group, and there was also a statistically significant difference in the data (P<0.05). Conclusion: The nursing risk management model has a significant therapeutic effect in the care of critically ill respiratory patients. Therefore, it is worth popularizing to use in the clinical nursing of respiratory critical patients.

No effective antiviral drugs and vaccines are available for the treatment of patients with severe coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, available, safe, and inexpensive drugs and supplements such as melatonin are among the proposed options for controlling inflammation. We did a randomized, single-blind study in Imam Khomeini Hospital between June 30, 2020, and August 5, 2020. Mild to moderate COVID-19 patients aged 25-65 years were eligible to enter the study based on chest CT scan, clinical symptoms, and physician diagnosis. The intervention group was prescribed 6 mg of oral melatonin for 2 weeks, which consumed half an hour before bedtime every night in low light conditions. Clinical symptoms and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after treatment in the melatonin received and control (regular medications) groups. Among screened patients with COVID-19, 14 patients were assigned to receive melatonin, and 17 patients were considered as controls. A significant difference (p=0.005) between CRP 1 and CRP 2 levels (before and after using melatonin) was found in the melatonin group while this difference (p=0.069) was not significant in the control group. Also, the percentage of recovery (based on symptoms) in patients who took melatonin was higher than that of patients in the control group (85.7% VS 47.1%).  The result of this study confirmed the effectiveness of melatonin in mild to moderate outpatients with COVID-19. More clinical trials on elderly, diabetic, obese patients and severe cases are suggested in future studies.
