The Application Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing on General Anesthesia Combined with Epidural Anesthesia and Electric Resection for the Treatment of Bladder Cancer and Its Influence on Tumor Markers

Effects of Nursing Care for the Treatment of Patients with Bladder Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Purpose. In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis were used to examine the effectiveness of nursing care in the treatment of bladder cancer patients. The platforms of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to conduct a thorough literature search. Methods. The searching approach was used to find the fundamental characteristics of 5 studies. Sample size ranged from 52 to 131,852, and total sample size was 151,166. The study was looked up in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, with the most recent search being done in July 2022. Utilizing a standardized form, two independent reviewers gathered pertinent information from research that qualified as literature (17). Review Manager 5.3 used the data to examine the literature. Statistics were deemed significant at $p<0.05$ . Results. We discovered that more bladder cancer patients with T1+T2 tumor stages were receiving nursing care than those with T1+T2 tumor stages were receiving control care (mean difference =1.27, 95% CI: 1.20-1.35, $p<0.00001$ ). The proportion of bladder cancer patients with T3+T4 tumor stage in the nursing care group was lower than the proportion of patients with T3+T4 tumor stage in the control group (mean difference = 1.07; 95% CI: 1.01-1.14; $p<0.00001$ ). The difference between the number of bladder cancer patients receiving radiotherapy in the nursing care group and the control group was not statistically significant (mean difference = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.16, $p=0.11$ ). There were fewer patients with bladder cancer receiving chemotherapy in the nursing care group than that in the control group (mean difference = -0.02, 95% CI: -0.0-0.02, $p<0.00001$ ). The incidence rate of patients with bladder cancer with major complications in nursing care group was lower than that of patients with bladder cancer with major complications in control group (mean difference = 0.41 95% CI: 0.18-0.93, $p=0.03$ ). When compared to patients with bladder cancer who had serious complications in the control group, the hospital death rate for nursing care patients had a greater incidence of bladder cancer patients (mean difference = 4.64 95% CI: 4.46-4.82, $p<0.00001$ ). Conclusion. This study demonstrated that the effects of nursing care reduced the incidence rate of chemotherapy and the frequency of severe problems in bladder cancer patients.

Visualizing Research Trends and Identifying Hotspots of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Nursing Technology for Insomnia: A 18-Years Bibliometric Analysis of Web of Science Core Collection

Objective

To explore the research hotspot and frontier direction of TCM nursing of insomnia and provide reference for the follow-up study of the optimal scheme of TCM nursing of insomnia.

Background

Insomnia is a common sleep-wake disorder, affects 6–10% of adults and was associated with independent higher risks of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. TCM Nursing Techniques of insomnia has a long history and has shown a definite impact. However, it's still lack of analysis in the field of the most commonly used and effective techniques, as well as the co-morbidities associated with insomnia. Therefore, the database was searched and analyzed to find effective TCM Nursing Techniques for insomnia and related diseases related to insomnia.

Method

Randomized controlled trials on the intervention of TCM Nursing Techniques in insomnia were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection and imported into CiteSpace 5.6.R5 visualization software. The works of literature were co-cited by keywords authors and institutions for visual analysis, and the co-morbidities associated with insomnia of TCM Nursing Techniques in literature was extracted manually. The symptoms of co-morbidities associated with insomnia were imported into Cytoscape 3.9.0 software and clustered by CytoHubba.

Result

As of October 20, 2021, the literature published in the last 20 years from Web of Science Core Collection was screened, and the publication period of the included literature was from 2004 to 2021. From 2016 to now, the total number of articles has been increasing. A total of 146 articles were included, and the highest production year was 2020. There is little cooperation between states, institutions, and authors. China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) and Hong Kong Polytech University are leading countries and institutions in this area. MYUNGHAENG HUR is the most cited author, and J ALTERN COMPLEM MED is the most cited journal. According to cluster analysis and keyword frequency, auricular therapy, aromatherapy, and acupressure are the three most commonly used techniques. While the top five co-morbidities are fatigue, anxiety, depression, pain and hemodialysis. The three frontier topics and the main research directions are sleep quality, comorbid insomnia and clinical trial design.

Conclusion

We found that acupressure, aromatherapy, and auricular acupoint therapy are the most commonly used nursing methods of TCM to intervene in insomnia. However, these studies have limitations such as small sample size, lack of objectivity in evaluating sleep quality, and high heterogeneity of intervention measures, which are not conducive to forming TCM clinical nursing guidelines. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt objectified sleep quality evaluation methods, select suitable acupoints according to TCM theories, and design multi-center large-sample clinical trials based on the safety principle of randomized blind control. This study provides an in-depth perspective for insomnia research on TCM Nursing Techniques and includes information for follow-up research on TCM Nursing Techniques of insomnia.
