Analysis of Factors Affecting the Quality of Tumor Nursing Teaching and Countermeasures

Sha Wu

There are numerous factors infuencing the quality of tumor nursing education, including the lack of professional tumor nursing teachers, weak practical teaching components, and insuffcient understanding of tumor nursing among students. The absence of professional teachers leads to diffculties in delving into teaching content, while weak practical teaching components make it challenging for students to translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills. Moreover, students' inadequate understanding of tumor nursing affects their learning interests and motivation. In response to these issues, a series of countermeasures are proposed, including optimizing teaching content, strengthening faculty construction, and enhancing publicity of tumor nursing education. These measures aim to improve teaching quality, stimulate students' interest in learning and practical abilities, and cultivate more tumor nursing professionals with professional competence.

Clinical Strategies of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Treating Cardiovascular Diseases Combined with Diabetes

Jia-Hui Qin, Li-Fang Song, Xiu-Juan Zhang

Objective: To analyze the application effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating CVD combined with DM.Methods: Astudy was conducted on 74 patients with CVD combined with DM in our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024. They were divided into a control group of 37 cases receiving conventional Western medical treatment and an observation group of 37 cases receiving combined TCM syndrome differentiation treatment using a random number table method. The clinical effcacy between the two groups was compared.Results: The observation group showed significantly higher magnitudes of T-wave changes, ST-segment elevation, and SF-36 scores compared to the control group. Additionally, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Administering TCM syndrome differentiation treatment to patients with CVD combined with DM can effectively improve blood glucose indicators and electrocardiographic results, enhance quality of life, and has potential for promotion.

The Clinical Study of Anti-Anxiety Drugs on Different Types of Vertigo Syndromes

Zhen-Zhou Gao

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of anti-anxiety drugs in patients with different types of vertigo syndromes. Methods: Astudy was conducted on 78 patients with vertigo syndromes admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to March 2024. The patients were randomly and evenly divided into a control group (39 cases) receiving conventional drug treatment and an observation group (39 cases) receiving combined anti-anxiety drug treatment. The clinical effcacy of the two groups was compared. Results: The observation group had signifcantly lower scores in SAS (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale), SDS (Self-Rating Depression Scale), cold sweat, nystagmus, and vertigo compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Administering anti-anxiety drugs to patients with different types of vertigo syndromes can effectively improve mental and psychological conditions, alleviate vertigo, and has promotional value.

Effectiveness and Safety of Combined Chemotherapy and Biological Targeted Therapy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Qi-Yu Zhao

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combined chemotherapy and biological targeted therapy in breast cancer patients. Methods: Atotal of 72 patients diagnosed with breast cancer confrmed by pathological examination and hospitalized from February 2023 to February 2024 were selected. They were randomly divided into two groups using systematic randomization: control group (n = 36) and observation group (n = 36). The control group received chemotherapy, while the observation group received combined chemotherapy and biological targeted therapy. The incidence of complications and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, the incidence of complications in the observation group was lower compared to the control group (11.11% vs. 30.56%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in quality of life indicators between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). However, after treatment, the quality of life scores in the observation group were signifcantly higher compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Combined chemotherapy and biological targeted therapy in breast cancer patients have remarkable effects in improving local recurrence, preventing distant metastasis, and enhancing overall quality of life with high safety. This approach holds signifcant value for reference and promotion.

Ultrasound for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pleural Diseases

Jing-Fen Han, Li-Mei Zhang, Xia Du

Objective: To analyze the application effectiveness of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of pleural diseases.Methods: A study was conducted on 80 patients with pleural diseases in our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024. All 80 patients were pathologically confrmed and underwent X-ray/ultrasound examination. Among them, 38 cases underwent syringe aspiration therapy, included in the control group, and 42 cases underwent central venous catheterization therapy, included in the observation group. The clinical effcacy of the two groups was compared.Results: The detection rates and specifcities of chest wall tumors and pleural effusions were basically consistent between the two examination methods (P > 0.05). The ultrasound examination showed significantly higher rates of detection for empyema, pleural adhesions/thickening, pleural effusion, overall detection rate, diagnostic accuracy, and sensitivity compared to X-ray (P < 0.05). The treatment success rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the rates of symptom relief and mortality were signifcantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Ultrasound examination can effectively detect various types of pleural diseases. It is recommended to use central venous catheterization, which shows more signifcant effcacy.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Microbiological Testing Methods in Gynecological Inflammatory Infections

Zhen-Chang Liu

Objective: To analyze the microbiological testing methods and their effectiveness in gynecological infammatory infections.Methods: A study was conducted on 100 patients with gynecological infammatory infections from April 2023 to April 2024 in our hospital. Patients were divided into groups based on the testing method used: amine test (Group A), culture method (Group B), agglutination test (Group C), and microscopy (Group D). The main symptoms of the 100 patients were analyzed, and the test results were compared.Results: Among the 100 patients, 96 experienced vaginal odor (96.00%), 94 had vulvar itching (94.00%), 92 had abnormal vaginal discharge (92.00%), 88 had frequent urination (88.00%), and 78 had urgent urination (78.00%). The positive detection rates in Groups A, B, C, and D showed an increasing trend but without signifcant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion: All four testing methods are effective for detecting gynecological infammatory infections. The appropriate method can be selected based on the actual situation.

Early Diagnosis and Treatment Strategies for Prostate Cancer

De-Jun Hu

Prostate cancer, as a common malignant tumor in males, requires preventive measures and early screening to reduce the incidence rate and improve treatment outcomes. For high-risk groups such as men with a family history, specifc racial backgrounds, or advanced age, it is recommended to start prostate cancer screening at the age of 45 or 10 years earlier than the earliest onset age in the family. Screening methods include PSA testing, digital rectal examination (DRE), and more precise imaging tests. For the general population, prostate cancer screening is typically initiated at the age of 50, with a screening frequency of once a year, primarily using PSAtesting and DRE. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding smoking and alcohol, can also help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Regular screening and a healthy lifestyle can effectively prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer and enable early treatment of detected lesions, thereby improving patient survival rates and quality of life.
