Methods: Using convenient sampling, 60 patients with mouth-opening difficulty after treatment for head and neck cancer admitted to the Oncology Department from February 2022 to October 2023 were selected for a 2-week exercise and nursing program. The patients were divided into a control group (February 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022) and an observation group (December 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023), with 30 patients in each group. The control group underwent routine mouth-opening functional exercises combined with cork for oral support training, while the observation group underwent routine mouth-opening functional exercises combined with oral massage and mouth-opening training sticks for oral support training. The mouth-opening degree, mouth-opening difficulty level, comfort level, compliance, and quality of life were observed in both groups. Results: Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in mouth-opening degree and mouth-opening difficulty level between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the mouth-opening degree, mouth-opening difficulty level, oral comfort level, compliance, and QLICP-HN scores in the observation group were all better than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of mouth-opening training sticks and oral massage with mouth-opening functional exercises can effectively improve the degree of mouth-opening difficulty, enhance oral comfort, increase compliance with mouth-opening exercises, and improve quality of life.展开更多

文摘In order to explore the opening force variation rules and influencing factors of parafoil opening process,a dynamic model for parafoil opening process is established in this paper.The performance of the parafoil opening process is calculated using the RungeKutta method.The calculation results are consistent with the patterns of the existing literatures,showing a maximum opening force error of 4.8%.Based on this,simulations are conducted for 20 different operating conditions of the parafoil system,and the rules governing the changes in system motion speed and parafoil opening force are obtained.The influence of the parafoil parameters and opening conditions on the opening force is also investigated.The results indicate that the opening force is positively correlated with the load mass,the opening speed,and trajectory angle,while it is negatively correlated with the opening height.The peak time of the opening force is affected by aerodynamic force and decelerating inertia force.As the weight and the opening height increase,the system deceleration becomes slower,and the peak time of the opening force is delayed.The aerodynamic force increases with the canopy area and the opening speed,leading to an advancement in the peak time of the opening force.Finally,the Sobol global sensitivity analysis method is employed to obtain the firstorder sensitivity and total sensitivity coefficients of the parafoil parameters and opening conditions on parafoil maximum opening force.The results show that the opening speed and the load mass significantly affect the maximum opening force.The firstorder sensitivity coefficients of 0.4107 and 0.3136,respectively;and the total sensitivity coefficients of 0.4775 and 0.3752,respectively.The sensitivity of the canopy area is at a moderate level,with the firstorder and total sensitivity coefficients of 0.0749 and 0.0851,respectively.The sensitivity coefficients for the opening height and the opening angle are close to zero,indicating that fluctuations in their values have little effect on the maximum opening force.

In this respect, diverse photocatalysts, including ruthenium(II), iridium(Ⅲ), and organic dyes, have been most commonly applied.

文摘The multicomponent reactions of 1,3-thiazolidinedione, malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes and α-phenylethylamine or β-phenylethylamine in acetonitrile at room temperature produce dihydrothiophene ureidoformamide derivatives in moderate yields through a domino ring-opening/recyclization reaction of 1,3-thiazolidinedione. On treatment with DDQ, dihydrothiophenes are dehydrogenated to convert efficiently to thiophenes in the mild condition.
文摘Objective: To study the application effect of mouth-opening training sticks combined with oral massage on patients with mouth-opening difficulty after treatment for head and neck cancer. Methods: Using convenient sampling, 60 patients with mouth-opening difficulty after treatment for head and neck cancer admitted to the Oncology Department from February 2022 to October 2023 were selected for a 2-week exercise and nursing program. The patients were divided into a control group (February 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022) and an observation group (December 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023), with 30 patients in each group. The control group underwent routine mouth-opening functional exercises combined with cork for oral support training, while the observation group underwent routine mouth-opening functional exercises combined with oral massage and mouth-opening training sticks for oral support training. The mouth-opening degree, mouth-opening difficulty level, comfort level, compliance, and quality of life were observed in both groups. Results: Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in mouth-opening degree and mouth-opening difficulty level between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the mouth-opening degree, mouth-opening difficulty level, oral comfort level, compliance, and QLICP-HN scores in the observation group were all better than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of mouth-opening training sticks and oral massage with mouth-opening functional exercises can effectively improve the degree of mouth-opening difficulty, enhance oral comfort, increase compliance with mouth-opening exercises, and improve quality of life.
