Objective: To explore the curative effect of Carisolv, a minimally invasive caries removal technique and traditional mechanical caries removal treatment on children's dental caries. Methods: A total of 97 children with dental caries who were treated in the Department of Stomatology in Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University, Chifeng from September 2017 to May 2019 were selected and recruited as the research subjects. They were divided into two groups by random number table method. Forty-nine individuals were assigned in the control group while the remaining 48 individuals in the observation group. The control group was treated with traditional mechanical caries removal method, and the observation group was treated with minimally invasive caries removal technique, i.e. Carisolv. Both groups were followed up for six months. The degree of pain, recovery time of dental function and complications after six months of treatment were observed in the two groups of children. Results: During the treatment, compared with the control group, the children in the observation group experienced lower degree of pain and had shorter recovery time of dental function. After six months of treatment, the incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with traditional mechanical caries removal method, Carisolv, a minimally invasive caries removal technique could reduce the pain of children during the treatment process, shorten the time to restore dental function, reduce the occurrence of complications, and had a better therapeutic effect in treating children’s dental caries.

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.

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. It is worth clinical application. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.2.1441 How to cite this:Han R, Yu Q, Zhang G, Li B, Han S, Li G.

Objective: The present study aimed to explore the effect of pre-admission “quasi-collective” health education for patients with ophthalmic day surgery. Methods: For this study, a total of 200 patients undergoing ophthalmic day surgery from February 2019 to December 2019 were enrolled as the research subjects. The patients were divided randomly into the observation group and the control group, with 100 cases in each group. For the control group, conventional health education was conducted after admission. On the day of admission, the admission education and peri-operative health education were performed. For the observation group, pre-admission health education was provided to the patients, and detailed education on the admission instructions, pre-operative precautions, and simulation of the intra-operative process were given by the nurses. On the day of admission, the understanding of the education was evaluated, and any weaknesses in the health education were addressed. The anxiety status, method of handwashing, method of administering the drug to the eye, preoperative preparations, intra-operative training, preoperative medication, diet guidance, and postoperative care were compared between the two groups of patients. Results: Before discharge, there were significant differences in the anxiety scores, impact, and satisfaction of health education between the two groups of patients, all of which were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The pre-admission "quasi-collective" health education for patients undergoing day surgery in ophthalmology was better than conventional health education.
