Analysis of the Effect of Problem-Oriented Nursing Intervention on Patients with Lower Extremity Arteriosclerosis Obliterans in Vascular Surgery

Objective: To analyze the effect of problem-oriented nursing intervention on patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) in vascular surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 128 patients with lower extremity ASO in vascular surgery were selected and randomly divided into groups A and B, with 64 cases each. Group A is the control group, and Group B is the observation group. Group A received the routine nursing intervention, and Group B received the problem-oriented nursing intervention. The compliance, self-care ability, psychological state, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups of patients were evaluated based on various indicators. Results: After the intervention, the evaluation of self-care ability (ESCA) score of the patients in Group B was higher than that of Group A, and the symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) score was lower than that of Group A. The differences were significant (t = 10.019, t = 3.118, P < 0.01). After the intervention, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) index scores of the two groups increased and the increase in Group B was significantly higher than Group A (P < 0.001). The compliance rate of Group B (62/ 96.88%) was higher than that of Group A (52/ 81.25%), and the difference was extremely significant (χ2 = 8.020, P < 0.01). Conclusion: Problem-oriented nursing intervention for patients with lower extremity ASO in vascular surgery improved the patient’s self-care ability, and quality of life, reduced the patient’s negative emotions, and enhanced their overall satisfaction.

Mechanism of Simiao Yongan decoction in the treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower extremity through JAK/STAT signaling pathway

Objective:To predict the effective components,potential targets and pathways of Simiao Yong’an Decoction in the treatment of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO)based on the method of network pharmacology,and to explore the mechanism of Simiao Yong’an Decoction in treating ASO combined with cell experiment.Methods:TCMSP database was used to screen the active components and targets of Simiao Yong’an decoction,and Genecards and OMIM databases were used to obtain ASO related proteins;PPI network of drug disease target proteins was constructed by string platform;go function and KEGG pathway enrichment of Simiao Yong’an Decoction ASO target were analyzed by David database.The drug target pathway with high correlation with ASO was selected.The model of vascular smooth muscle cell injury(VSMCs)induced by ox LDL was used,and Simiao Yong’an decoction containing pharmaceutical Qing was given to verify the therapeutic effect of Simiao Yong’an Decoction on ox LDL induced VSMCs and its regulation on highly correlated target pathway.Results:A total of 126 active components of Simiao Yong'an Decoction were screened,40 targets of Simiao Yong’an Decoction ASO were selected,99 go biological processes and 48 related signal pathways were related to ASO;the experimental results showed that with the passage of time,Simiao Yongan decoction could significantly inhibit the proliferation of VSMCs(P<0.05);compared with the model group,the percentage of BrdU positive cells in each dose group of Simiao Yong’an decoction was significantly higher than that in the model group In addition,Simiao Yong’an decoction could significantly inhibit the proliferation of VSMCs(P<0.05);in addition,Simiao Yongan decoction could inhibit the levels of IL-6 and IL-1β(P<0.05);significantly inhibit the expression of PCNA,JAK2 and STAT3 mRNA(P<0.05);Conclusions:Simiao Yong’an decoction has the effect of"multi-component,multi-target and multi-channel"in the treatment of ASO.It can inhibit the activation of JAK/STAT signaling pathway,play an anti-inflammatory role and inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

Comparison of the Safety and Effectiveness of Lower Extremity Artery Bypass Grafting and Endovascular Angioplasty in the Treatment of Lower Extremity Arteriosclerosis Obliterans in the Elderly

Objective:To compare the safety and effectiveness of lower extremity artery bypass grafting and endovascular angioplasty in the treatment of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans in the elderly.Methods:The data of 87 elderly patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans treated in our hospital from August 2015 to August 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the different treatment methods,they were divided into angioplasty group(n=45,intravascular angioplasty)and bypass grafting group(n=42,lower extremity artery bypass grafting).The success rate,hemodynamics of dorsalis pedis artery and nerve conduction of lower extremity were compared between the two groups Velocity,VAS score,late target vessel lumen loss(LLL),patency rate,restenosis rate,ankle brachial index(ABI)and clinical adverse events.Results:There was no significant difference between angioplasty group and bypass group(P>0.05).One month after operation,the hemodynamics of dorsalis pedis artery and nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs in the two groups were better than those before operation,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The VAS score of the two groups was significantly lower than that of the preoperative group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The ABI of the two groups was significantly improved after operation,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the groups at each time point(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in LLL,patency rate and restenosis rate between the two groups(P>0.05).There was statistical difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P<0.05).During the follow-up period,no serious adverse events such as death or amputation occurred in both groups.Conclusion:Endovascular angioplasty and lower extremity artery bypass grafting have the same clinical effect in the treatment of elderly patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans,which are safe and feasible.
