Methods Data from 1000 untreated adults (age > 18) collected in Beijing from January 2000 to January 2001 were utilized in the analysis. Half of the subjects were examined by Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) and the other half by Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI). The data were sorted out and calculated according to CPI teeth and random half-mouth teeth methods. The results of the 2 methods were separately compared with those of full-mouth examination. Results There was a significant difference between CPI teeth method and full-mouth examination (P<0.05) in both GBI and SBI. In contrast, compared with full-mouth examination, significant difference was not observed in diagonal or ipsilateral half-mouth results in SBI (P>0.05), nor in diagonal half-mouth results in GBI (P>0.05) Conclusions The results of CPI teeth method on gingival bleeding could not reflect the full-mouth situation. Ipsilateral and diagonal half-mouth results can serve as a substitute for full-mouth results in SBI, while diagonal half-mouth results in GBI.展开更多

Methods: From September 2015 to September 2016, 84 patients with craniocerebral injury admitted to our hospital were divided into observation group (n = 42) and control group (n = 42) according to randomized single blindness method. All patients were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The control group was given routine nursing care, while the observation group was treated by psychological nursing intervention. Results: The scores of GCS in the observation group after 2 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment were respectively (7.79±1.42), (11.86±2.56) which were higher than those in the control group (6.23±1.01), (8.21±1.65) the data show significant difference. After treatment, the scores of SDS and SAS in the observation group were respectively (39.14±1.21), (41.67±1.12) which were lower than those in the control group (45.56±2.50), (56.89±2.47) the data show significant difference. The BI index of the observation group was (43.29±4.63), which was higher than that of the control group (36.83±3.10), the scores of NFD was (23.12±1.01) in the observation group, which was lower than that in the control group (28.45±1.67), the data were statistically significant. Conclusion: Psychological care intervention in patients with craniocerebral injury treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy is helpful to improve the adverse psychological state and consciousness state, improve the ability of daily living activities and promote the recovery of neurological function. It can be actively promoted and applied in clinical practice.展开更多
