UNSTRUCTURED The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of continuous nursing system of artificial intelligence (AI) on patients discharged from hospital after heart valve replacement (HVR) and the application value of Omaha system. The patients undergoing HVR were taken as the research objects and divided into control group (routine nursing) and observation group (continuous nursing). Through the continuous nursing system of AI, the patients discharged from the hospital were monitored remotely, and the vital signs of patients were analyzed by AI. Different nursing methods were used to intervene the patients. Nursing evaluation data were used for nursing evaluation of patients undergoing HVR. Activity of Daily Life Scale (ADL) was used to evaluate patients' daily living ability, health status questionnaire was used to evaluate patients' health status, and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief version (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to evaluate patients' quality of life. The results showed that, before intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of ADL between the control group and the observation group, with no statistical significance (P > 0.05). After intervention, the scores of ADL in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); before intervention, the scores of ADL in the control group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the health status questionnaire score between the control group and the observation group, without statistical significance (P > 0.05). After intervention, the health status questionnaire score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in WHO quality of life evaluation score between the control group and the observation group, without statistical significance (P > 0.05). After intervention, the WHO quality of life evaluation score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After intervention, the KBS evaluation of nursing problem outcomes in the observation group was higher than that before intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the continuous nursing system of AI based on Omaha system can effectively evaluate the nursing problems of patients after discharge and improve the quality of life of patients, which has important application value.

To explore the application of natural convalescent factors combined with exercise intelligence management in blood pressure control of patients with hypertension, 102 patients with hypertension who were admitted from January 2017 to August 2019 were selected as the research subjects. According to the odd-even number method, they were divided into two groups with 51 cases in each group. The control group was treated with natural convalescent factor therapy alone, and the observation group was treated with natural convalescent factor combined with motor intelligence management. The application effects of the two groups were compared. Before sports intelligence management, the levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in control group and observation group were (145.45 ± 8.44) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and (146.55 ± 8.37) mmHg, respectively; the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels of the control group and the observation group were (98.47 ± 3.48) mmHg and (98.94 ± 3.48) mmHg, respectively, with no statistical significance ( P > 0.05 ). After the exercise intelligence management, the SBP levels of the control group and the observation group were (132.76 ± 4.48) mmHg and (130.06 ± 2.48) mmHg, respectively. The DBP levels of the control group and the observation group were (85.48 ± 5.38) mmHg and (83.47 ± 3.35) mmHg, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The scores of each index of quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences of physical function and psychological/mental scores were significant. The scores of physical function in the two groups before administration were (48.36 ± 1.69) and (48.74 ± 1.62), and the differences were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05 ). After management, the physiological function scores of the two groups were (40.32 ± 1.33) and (32.15 ± 1.54) and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). There were no significant differences in the psychological (30.75 ± 1.26)/mental scores (30.26 ± 1.48) between the two groups before management ( P > 0.05 ), but there were significant differences in the psychological (25.30 ± 1.02)/mental scores (18.76 ± 1.36) between the two groups after management ( P < 0.05 ). The combination of natural convalescent factors and intelligent exercise management can effectively control the blood pressure level and improve the quality of life of patients with hypertension, and the clinical application effect is good.

Abstract The assessment of the six-week influence of Kinesio Taping combined with a rehabilitation on selected ultrasonography measurements, the level of disability, and the quality of life in patients with rotator cuff lesions. 60 participants were randomly assigned into a taping group (KT combined with a six-week rehabilitating protocol) and a control group (only rehabilitation protocol). In all patients the following assessments were performed twice: USG, UEFI and NHP questionnaires. In the examination of the subacromial space and the subacromial bursa in the taping group, no statistical significance was observed. A statistically significant change in the thickness of the muscles was obtained only for the thickness of the infraspinatus in the taping group. A statistically significant change was obtained in the assessment of tendinopathy only for the supraspinatus muscle in both groups. Within both groups a statistically significant difference was observed in the average UEFI and NHP scores; however, the differences in the scores obtained between the groups were not statistically significant. The use of KT with a rehabilitation program did not yield statistically significantly better results in the improvement of selected shoulder region indicators, the function of the upper limb and the quality of life.

Objective. To observe the clinical effects of Jiawei Danggui Beimu Kushen pills in treating prostate cancer and their influence on the expression of serum prostate specific antigen. Methods. A total of 234 prostate cancer patients were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 117 cases in each group. The control group was given oral bicalutamide tablets, while the observation group was treated with Jiawei Danggui Beimu Kushen pills on the basis of the control group. The treatment efficacy, IPSS score, TCM syndrome score, VAS score, quality-of-life score, and immune function of the two groups were compared before and after treatment. The serum PSA and f-PSA levels of patients before treatment and after 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days of treatment in the two groups were compared. The five-year cumulative survival rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results. After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 88.03% (103/117), which was higher than that of the control group 69.23% (81/117); the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the IPSS score, TCM syndrome score, and VAS score of the two groups were reduced, and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the quality-of-life scores of the two groups increased, and the observation group was higher than the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in serum PSA levels and f-PSA levels when comparing between the two groups of patients ( P > 0.05 ). With the increase of treatment time, the two index levels of the two groups were gradually decreased. After 180 days of treatment, the two index levels of the two groups of patients were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the two index levels of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the levels of IgM and IgA in the two groups were decreased, and the level of IgG was increased. The difference between the two groups in the levels of each index before and after treatment was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ), and the difference between the two groups in the levels of each index after treatment was also statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The five-year cumulative survival rate of the observation group was 69.23%, and the five-year cumulative survival rate of the control group was 46.15% ( P < 0.05 ). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of dizziness, fatigue, and gastrointestinal reactions ( P > 0.05 ), but the difference in the incidence of dysuria as well as dysuria and hematuria was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Jiawei Danggui Beimu Kushen pills are effective in treating prostate cancer, which can effectively reduce the patients’ IPSS score and TCM syndrome scores, relieve the pain, and improve the quality of life of patients.

<p>With the development of science and technology, occupational accidents, as one of the most important problems in the world, result in negative effects on physical and psychological health, and also the quality of life of workers. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life among workers with and without accident. In a cross-sectional study, 93 workers were selected, 31 who experienced accident and 62 as control group. To gather the data, a researcher-made questionnaire for demographic characteristics and the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) were used. Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. The mean and standard deviation of age was 30.81±7.29 and 30.56±7.19 in workers with accident (case group) and control group, respectively. Homogeneity was ensured in terms of age and work experience and the two groups had no significant difference in this regard (p&gt;0.05). Most of the participants were high school graduates (67.7%). The majority of accidents (68.8%) had occurred in the manufacturing sections. The most common accident type was sprayed chemical substances (19.4%) and the less frequent was electrocution (3.2%). The mean total score for the quality of life was 37.61±14.29 and 74.92±12.95 in the case and control groups with a statistical significance difference (p&lt;0.001). The results of this study indicate that the incident could affect the quality of life of workers. Therefore, promoting the safety culture can help to reduce the occupational accidents.</p>

AbstractObjectiveThis paper aims to explore specific effects of out-of-hospital continuing nursing on schizophrenia patients’ health rehabilitation and quality of life, and further improve application and popularization of out-of-hospital continuing nursing.MethodsThe 180 schizophrenia patients discharged from our hospital from March 2014 to March 2016 were selected as the subjects. The patients were divided into two groups according to the randomized double-blind method. Both groups received routine discharge guidance, and the observation group received out-of-hospital continuing nursing on this basis. Questionnaires and scales were used to compare differences of the two groups after discharge from hospital, such as medication compliance, recurrence rate of schizophrenia, awareness of health knowledge and quality of life.ResultsAfter 6 months of nursing for the observation group, complete medication compliance rate was 71.11% (64/90), awareness rate of schizophrenia-related health knowledge was 96.67% (87/90), and recurrence rate was 8.89% (8/90). For the control group, complete medication compliance rate was 45.56% (41/90), awareness rate of schizophrenia-related knowledge was 46.67% (42/90) and the recurrence rate of disease was 26.67% (24/90). Hence, the observation group enjoys significant advantages compared with the control group. Statistical analysis (P <0.05) showed statistical significance; In addition, life quality scores showed that the quality of life of the observation group was obviously better than the control group; the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).ConclusionOut-of-hospital continuing nursing for schizophrenia patients after discharge can effectively improve medication compliance, awareness rate of health knowledge, effectively reduce incidence of schizophrenia and improve the quality of life of patients. Thus, the nursing concept and related methods are worthy of publicity and application in a wider range.
