To study the effect of rapid rehabilitation nursing on patients’ quality of life and pain level during the perioperative period of radical breast cancer surgery. Methods: 126 patients who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2018 to February 2020 and underwent radical breast cancer surgery were divided into control group and rapid rehabilitation group according to the perioperative period intervention method. Routine nursing intervention and rapid rehabilitation nursing intervention were used respectively. The general conditions of the two groups were recorded, and the differences of T cell subsets before operation and 3 days after operation were detected. Visual analogue pain (VAS) score was used to evaluate the changes of pain degree at 1 day, 3 days and 5 days after operation and on the day of discharge. Postoperative complications and satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Quality of life (QOL) was assessed at 1 month and 3 months after operation using the CARES-SF score. Results: Anesthesia waking time (26.12 ± 5.77) min, off-bed activity time (14.25 ± 2.87) h and hospital stay (7.82 ± 2.15) d in the rapid rehabilitation group were shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The operation time (92.02 ± 14.78) min and intraoperative blood loss (57.96 ± 13.96) mL in the rapid rehabilitation group were not significantly different from those in the control group (P > 0.05). In the control group, 3d after operation, T lymphocyte subsets were decreased gradually than that before operation (P < 0.05), CD3+ was decreased 3d after operation than that before operation in the rapid rehabilitation group (P < 0.05), but CD4+, CD8+, CD4+ / CD8 + 3d after operation had no significant difference than that before operation (P > 0.05). In rapid rehabilitation group, T lymphocyte subsets at 3d after operation were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The postoperative complication rate of the rapid rehabilitation group was lower than that of the control group, and the satisfaction degree was higher than that of the control group, with significant difference (P < 0.05). After follow-up, it was found that the scores of qualities of life, such as physiology, psychosocial, marriage, sexual life and relationship with medical staff in the rapid rehabilitation group were lower than those in the control group at 1 month and 3 months after operation (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The concept of rapid rehabilitation nursing can stabilize the immune function of patients after radical breast cancer surgery, promote the postoperative rehabilitation and improve the quality of life after operation.

Objective: To evaluate and analyze the influencing factors of upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery, and to study effective nursing intervention measures. Methods: 500 cases of early breast cancer patients from October 2017 to December 2020 were selected, all patients underwent surgical intervention, retrospectively analyzed the basic clinical data of patients, and statistically analyzed the influencing factors of upper limb lymphedema. All patients with upper extremity lymphedema received high-quality nursing intervention, and the specific nursing effect was analyzed. Results: Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery included hypertension, postoperative upper limb functional exercise, delayed healing of incision, radiotherapy and so on. After nursing intervention, the patients’ elbow 10cm, elbow 10cm, wrist size value and VAS score were better than those before nursing (P < 0.05). The quality of life score of patients after nursing intervention was significantly better than that before nursing (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Hypertension, postoperative upper limb functional exercise, delayed healing of incision, radiotherapy and other factors can induce upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Effective nursing intervention can alleviate the condition of patients with upper limb lymphedema and improve their quality of life, which is worthy of comprehensive promotion.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of multilevel single-shot thoracic paravertebral blockade (PVB) on the occurrence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. Design A randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. Setting A tertiary hospital. Methods Patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery were randomized to receive either ultrasound-guided multilevel single-shot PVB from T2 to T5 (the PVB group) or nothing (the control group). Surgery was then performed under general anesthesia. Patients were followed up for 12 months after surgery. The primary end point was incidence of CPSP at six months after surgery. Results A total of 218 patients were enrolled and randomized; of these, 208 and 204 completed six- and 12-month follow-up, respectively. The incidence of CPSP at six months was significantly lower in the PVB group (12.5% [13/104]) than in the control group (24.0% [25/104], relative risk = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.28–0.96, P = 0.031). Pain scores within 48 hours both at rest and with movement were lower in the PVB group than the control group (P = 0.006 and P &lt; 0.001, respectively). The percentages of patients with neuropathic pain were also lower in the PVB group than the control group at both six and 12 months after surgery (P = 0.016 and 0.028, respectively). Adverse events did not differ between groups. Conclusions For patients undergoing breast cancer surgery, multilevel single-shot PVB reduces the incidence of CPSP at six months; it also improves early postoperative analgesia and reduces neuropathic pain at six and 12 months after surgery.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of sequential butylphthalide therapy combined with dual antiplatelet therapy in the treatment of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods: One hundred and twenty-two elderly patients with ACI who were admitted to the department of neurology of our hospital at May 2016-August 2018 were selected grouped into a control group and an observation group by random number table method, 61 in each group. On the basis of conventional treatment, the patients in the control group were given dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin enteric-coated tablets + clopidogrel bisulfate tablets), while the patients in the observation group were given sequential butylphthalide therapy on the basis of the control group. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared after four weeks of treatment, and the changes of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), ADL score, plasma 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase (3-MST) and Amyloid β42 (Aβ42) levels and the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment were recorded. Results: The clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in NIHSS and ADL scores between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the NIHSS and ADL scores of the observation group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in plasma levels of 3-MST and AB42 between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). The level of plasma 3-MST in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the level of plasma Aβ42 was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). No serious adverse reactions occurred during the treatment period in both groups. Conclusion: Butylphthalide sequential therapy combined with dual antiplatelet therapy is effective in the treatment of elderly ACI. It can effectively improve the plasma level of 3-MST and decrease the plasma level of Aβ42, which is conducive to improving the living ability and neurological function of patients and has high safety. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.4.1831 How to cite this:Wo X, Han J, Wang J, Wang X, Liu X, Wang Z.

Background: Compared to acute postsurgical pain, studies regarding the role of ketamine in persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) are limited. Objectives: The aim of this clinical trial was to test if intraoperative low-dose ketamine without postoperative infusion would reduce PPSP development after breast cancer surgery. Study design: We used a randomized, double-blinded, placebo study design. Setting: This study was conducted at Pusan National University Hospital, Republic of Korea, between December 2013 and August 2016. Methods: A total of 184 patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery were randomly assigned to either the control or ketamine group. Before skin incision, a bolus (0.5 mg/kg of ketamine or placebo), followed by a continuous infusion (0.12 mg/kg/h of ketamine or placebo), was administered until the end of the surgery. The patients were interviewed via telephone 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. The first question was whether the patient had surgery-related pain. If answered affirmatively, questions from the Numeric Rating Scale for pain at rest (NRSr) and for coughing (NRSd) were also asked. Our primary outcome was the incidence of PPSP at 3 months after surgery. Results: For PPSP analysis, 168 patients were included. The number of patients who experienced pain was significantly lower in the ketamine group at 3 months (86.9% in the control group vs 69.0% in the ketamine group, P = .005) postoperatively. However, the NRSr and NRSd did not differ between the groups throughout the follow-up. Limitations: There were no postoperative low-dose ketamine infusion groups to compare due to hospital regulations. Dosage of ketamine was too low to reduce the severity of PPSP. And by using propofol and remifentanil for anesthesia, different results can be deduced with volatile anesthetics. Data from written questionnaires would have been more specific than telephone interviews for long-term assessment. Conclusions: Though intraoperative low-dose ketamine without postoperative infusion significantly reduced the incidence of PPSP up to 3 months after breast cancer surgery, it failed to reduce clinically significant PPSP and improve patients’ quality of life.

To analyze the clinical effect of nursing cooperation in transsphenoidal approach microscopic hypophysectomy. From January 2017 to January 2020, 80 patients who underwent transsphenoidal microscopic hypophysectomy in our hospital were selected to participate in the analysis and study. They were divided into two groups according to the randomized allocation, namely the observation group and the control group. Among them, 40 patients in the observation group and 40 patients in the control group were given routine nursing care for the patients in the control group, and comprehensive nursing intervention was adopted for the patients in the observation group, and the overall nursing effect of the two groups of patients was compared. After taking different nursing methods, the condition of patients in both groups was effectively controlled, and the effective rate of patients in the observation group with comprehensive nursing intervention was significantly better than that of patients in the control group with conventional nursing methods, and the difference had certain statistical significance (P < 0.05); The satisfaction degree of patients in the study group was significantly better than that of patients in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The degree of negative emotions of patients in the study group was significantly better than that of patients in the control group after receiving comprehensive nursing intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05); The scores of each index of SF-36 questionnaire of patients in both groups were higher than those before nursing, and the scores of each index of patients in observation group were higher than those of patients in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P > 0.05). With adequate preoperative preparation and mastery of the use of mechanical equipment, comprehensive nursing intervention can effectively improve the treatment effect of patients, make patients more satisfied with the nursing work, and can soothe patients’ negative psychological mood, eliminate panic, improve patients' life confidence, enhance intraoperative cooperation, and ensure that the operation can be completed smoothly.
