Objective To compare the clinical effect of posterior minimally invasive percutaneous and transforaminal approach pedicle screws in the treatment for thoracolumbar fractures. Methods Forty patients with thoracolumbar fractures who were treated in our hospital from June to February 2018 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into a control group (20 cases) and an observation group (20 cases) according to the random number table method. The observation group received minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw treatment, and the control group received transmuscular pedicle screw treatment. The surgical parameters such as the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebrae, the Cobb angle of the sagittal vertebral kyphosis and the surgical efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results The height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebrae of patients of the two groups at 1 week and 6 months after surgery was greater than that in the group before surgery, and the Cobb angle of the sagittal vertebral kyphosis was smaller than that in the group before surgery, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebrae and the Cobb angle of the sagittal vertebral kyphosis between the two groups before surgery, 1 week after surgery and 6 months after surgery (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the total clinical efficiency of patients between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Patients with thoracolumbar fractures undergo posterior minimally invasive percutaneous and transforaminal approach pedicle screws, which have high clinical effect, and surgical treatment can be selected according to the patient′s wishes.
Objective To explore the application effect of comprehensive nursing intervention in the patients with posterior circulation ischemic vertigo. Methods A total of 68 patients with posterior circulation ischemic vertigo who were treated in our hospital from March 2017 to March 2019 were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method, 34 cases in each group. The control group was given routine care, and the observation group was given comprehensive nursing intervention. The vertigo degree, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and self-care ability for daily living (Barthel) scores before intervention and 7 d after intervention were compared between the two groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in vertigo degree, HAMA, HAMD and Barthel scores before intervention between the two groups (P>0.05); the effect of improving the vertigo after intervention in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); the HAMA and HAMD scores in the observation group after intervention were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the Barthel score in the observation group after intervention was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive nursing intervention can reduce the vertigo degree in the patients with posterior circulation ischemic vertigo, effectively relieve negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, and help to improve patients′ self-care ability for daily living. It is therefore worthy of promotion and application.
