Evidence-based nursing practice was used to formulate the enhanced recovery surgery bundle nursing strategy and apply it to patients with gastric cancer, to explore its safety, effectiveness and feasibility in perioperative gastrointestinal function protection in patients with gastric cancer. Selected the clinical medical records of 100 gastric cancer patients treated in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 as the research objects, and divided them into the control group and the observation group with 50 cases in each group according to the random number table. Among them, the control group was given routine nursing measures for nursing intervention, and the observation group was given gastrointestinal enhanced recovery surgery cluster nursing on the basis of the control group. ⋯ After nursing, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E2) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). The pain scores of the 2 groups were significantly improved at different time points, and the observation group was significantly less than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). Gastrointestinal enhanced recovery surgery bundle nursing can effectively improve the gastrointestinal function of patients with gastric cancer, improve the emotional response and stress response of patients, and has certain reference value for the nursing of patients with gastric cancer.

A common occurrence in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is metabolic acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate (SB) has been widely used, but there is insufficient evidence on how SB affects neonates in NICUs with metabolic acidosis. The worsening of intracellular acidosis, the impairment of myocardial function, fluctuations in cerebral blood flow, and intracranial hemorrhage are some of the unfavorable effects of SB treatment in neonates that have been documented in the literature. ⋯ The findings show that 91.2% of neonatologists were using SB to correct metabolic acidosis in the NICU; 71.4% did not have written guidelines for using sodium bicarbonate. The majority of them (78.9%) reported that dosage is included in their guidelines for the use of ISB. The findings of this study emphasize the critical importance of providing guidelines in using ISB for managing metabolic acidosis in NICU to standardize procedures and reduce the use of potentially unsuitable and unsafe treatments, as it has been shown that 71.4% of neonatologists worldwide use sodium bicarbonate without guidelines.

Stress is inevitable in humans and stress changes our physical and mental states. Stress has been studied epidemiologically, biologically, and psychologically. First defined in 1990, emotional intelligence (EI) affects psychological stress management. ⋯ EI may play a vital role in reducing stress associated with depression and anxiety in our social lives. Although we failed to show a statistical correlation between TEIQue-SF and [Oxy-Hb] due to a sample size shortage, our preliminary study was the first to attempt to show the PFC activity of EI through a hemodynamic response. Future research may elucidate the role of EI in reducing psychological stress in social life.

Case Reports
Comminuted lunate fracture combined with distal radius fracture and scaphoid fracture: A case report.
Incidence of lunate fractures is very low, less than 1% of all fractures. Lunate fractures generally come from high-energy injuries, often combined with other wrist fractures. Simple lunate fractures can be fixed with screws or Kirschner wires. However, Comminuted lunate fractures are difficult to reduce and fixe by conventional methods. ⋯ Although the incidence of comminuted lunate fractures is very low, they occur sometimes. For comminuted lunate fractures, early identification and intervention can preserve most of the function of the wrist joint.

Sarcopenia causes a variety of functional impairments and is associated with all-cause mortality, but once it occurs, it is difficult to treat and reverse. However, the prevalence of sarcopenia in healthy people has never been investigated due to the low awareness of sarcopenia in healthy people. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a single health promotion center from the January 1st 2020 to the December 31st 2021. ⋯ Low BMI and high body fat percentage increase the risk of low SMI. Compared to normal and low SMI based on obesity, Sex, height, BW, abdominal skinfold, and waist circumflex showed significant P values in both groups. The factors related to low SMI were TG, HDL, and uric acid levels.
