Objective To evaluate the application of dual-source CT (DSCT) using low-dose technology in diagnosing complex congenital heart diseases. Methods The DSCT data of 31 cases with complex congenital heart diseas-es conifrmed by operation were retrospectively analysed and classiifed into four groups:group A(≤4 months old, n=12); group B (>4 months old~1 year old, n=3);group C (>1 year~6 years old, n=8) and group D (>6 years old, n=8). Results The diagnosis conformation rate of DSCT with surgery were 94.59%. The diagnostic conformation rate of intracardic anormalies using DSCT was 92.86%. And the diagnostic conformation of DSCT in patients with abnormal connection of atrium or ventri-cle to great vessels and the extrocardic anormalies was 95.65%. The average effective dose in each group were 1.16±0.06 mSv, 1.28±0.07 mSv, 1.96±0.54 mSv and 2.77±0.38 mSv, respectively. The ratio of the high quality images was 90.32%. Con-clusions The application of low dose technology in DSCT can clearly display the anomalies, and signiifcantly reduce the radiation dose without losing image quality as well.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern and possible function of Nogo-A during neuronal growth. Methods E18 rat hippocampal neurons were primarily cultured both in high-density and low-density conditions. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were performed to detect Nogo-A expression and distributional changes. Results Nogo-A was found in hippocampal neurons, mainly located in the cytoplasm, plasma membrane and neurites. It was detected at the proximal part of all neurites before axon formation. In axons, Nogo-A was enriched in the distal segment and axonal growth cone. In mature neurons, the fiber net work displayed a large number of Nogo-A immunoreactive varicosities. Conclusion The present results indicate that the neuronal Nogo-A may be involved in the process of neurite outgrowth and axonal projection.

BACKGROUND:The anesthesia process is required strict in establishing rabbit models of ileal neobladder. It is required for cleaning operation field, quick postoperative recovery, and the choice of anesthetics and anesthesia does not influence smooth muscle peristalsis. OBJECTIVE:To compare the anesthetic effects between urethane and chloral hydrate in rabbits with ileal neobladder. METHODS:Eighteen rabbits were randomly assigned to urethane and chloral hydrate groups, and were respectively anesthetized with 20% urethane 5 mL/kg and 10% chloral hydrate 2 mL/kg through the ear vein. Double ureter was dissociated at 1 cm outside original bladder, and 15 cm-intestine obtained from 10 cm of ileocecal junction was implanted so as to establish models of ileal neobladder. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Heart rates were significantly lower compared with these before anesthesia in al cases (P≤ 0.05), but no differences were detected between two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the chloral hydrate group, the maintain time and recovery time were longer and the mortality rate was higher in the urethane group. Above data indicated that chloral hydrate is a safe long-acting anesthetic in establishing rabbit models of ileal neobladder.

Objective To establish a stable cell line secreting human IgE Cε2-4 protein, and in-vestigate the binding capacity of receptor FcεR Ⅰ Methods The E24 gene was derived from SKO-O07 cell line, and was then cloned into pcDNA3.1 (+) (signal peptides were synthesized and fused at the 5'-end of E24 gene) or pCMV-L vector. After transient transfection into 293T cell, the secreted F24 protein was ana-lyzed by sandwich ELISA. The best vector was chosen to be transfected into CHO cells with LipofectAMI-NETM 2000 reagent. After being selected by G418 and subcloned three times by limited-dilution method, two stable cell lines were established. E24 gene was amplified by RT-PCR, and the E24 protein in the superna-tant was identified by ELISA. Besides, the binding capacity of FceR ⅠⅡ was analyzed by flow cytometry method. Results Three mammalian expression vector SP-E24-F3. 1, SP lI-E24-P3.1 and E24-PL were constructed and transient transfected to 293T cells. The output of E24 protein in the supernatant were 19.1, 19.4 and 8.7 μg/ml, respectively. Then the vector SP IX-E24-P3.1 was transfected into CHO cells. Final-ly, two single clones secreting E24 protein were stably obtained. The output of E24 were all at least 25 μg/ml. RT-PCR could detect the E24 gene from one of the two clones. Furthermore, flow cytometry results showed that E24 could bind the receptor in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Two stable cell line se- creting E24 protein were obtained, while E24 could specifically bind FcεR Ⅰ.

Objective : To construct a visual literacy evaluation system for pupils by Delphi expert consultation method（Delphi method）. Methods : The visual literacy evaluation indices for pupils were preliminarily constructed through literature review. Twenty experts in relevant fields were invited and the visual literacy evaluation system for pupils was established by two rounds of expert consultation based on Delphi method. Results : The average age of 20 experts was（48.35±5.79）years old,of which 19 experts had senior titles,and 17 experts had master's degree or above. The enthusiasm of the experts in two rounds of consulting was both 100.00%. The average authoritative coefficient（W）of the experts was 0.88. For the first consulting round,the W of importance scores from experts was 0.91（P<0.01）;the W of operability scores from experts was 0.89（P<0.01）,which indicated satisfactory consistency. For the second consulting round,the W of importance scores from experts was 0.79（P<0.01）;the W of operability scores from experts was 0.77（P<0.01）,which also indicated satisfactory consistency. The finalized visual literacy evaluation system for pupils after two rounds of expert consultation included three primary indices（eye care knowledge literacy,eye care attitude literacy and eye care behavior literacy）,six secondary indices（basic knowledge,eye care behavior,eye care attitude,eye care willingness,bad eye care behavior and eye protection）and 40 tertiary indices（≥5.0 of eyesight among normal people,always wearing glasses due to poor eyesight and so on）. Conclusion The experts who participated in the construction of visual literacy evaluation system for pupils had strong professional representativeness,high enthusiasm,high authority and good coordination,and the evaluation system can be used for evaluating pupils visual literacy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture Baliao points [bilateral Shangliao (BL 31), Ciliao (BL 32), Zhongliao (BL 33) and Xialiao (BL 34)] combined with conventional western medicine therapy on postoperative pain and wound recovery of mixed hemorrhoids patients.Methods:A total of 80 patients with mixed hemorrhoids who met the inclusion criteria in Nantong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2017 to June 2020 were divided into 2 groups according to random number table method, with 40 patients in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy, and the observation group was treated with Baliao points electroacupuncture on the basis of the control group for 3 days. Postoperative pain was evaluated by VAS scale, pain duration, analgesic onset time, analgesic drug usage, wound healing time, nausea, vomiting and vertigo at 3 days after surgery were observed and recorded.Results:The VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 12 hour and 1, 2,3 d postoperatively ( t=13.18, 13.71, 23.53 and 26.10, P<0.001). The duration of pain and the onset time of analgesia in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( t=4.79, 7.54, 5.66, 15.60, P<0.001). The dosage of analgesic drugs in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group at 48 and 72 h after operation ( t value 2.37 and 4.50, P<0.05 or P<0.01, respectively). The postoperative wound healing time [(26.58 ± 1.47) d vs. (35.75 ± 1.46) d, t=27.99] in the observation group was significantly earlier than that in the control group ( P<0.01), postoperative analgesic time [(7.10 ± 0.55) d vs. (11.32 ± 1.62) d, t=15.60] in the observation group were significantly earlier than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Electroacupuncture Baliao points can quickly reduce the postoperative pain, reduce the use of analgesic drugs, and speed up the postoperative recovery of patients with mixed hemorrhoids.

Objective To investigate the effect of a fast-track based clinical nursing pathway of hepatic carcinoma on patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of nurses. Methods A total of 91 primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients undergoing elective hepatectomy were enrolled and were divided into two groups by admission time, namely the control group (48 cases) and the experimental group (43 cases). The patients in the control group received traditional perioperative nursing care of hepatectomy, while the cases in the experimental group participated in fast-track nursing pathway. Patient satisfaction and nurse job satisfaction were measured before and after implementation. Results Final analysis included 45 patients in the control group and 40 patients in the experimental group. In the experimental group, the total score of patient satisfaction and the scores of all dimensions (including services and techniques, concern and care, services and techniques and overall satisfaction) were (132.75 ± 13.71), (48.30 ± 6.53), (42.60 ± 4.62), (35.98 ± 3.85), (5.88 ± 0.94), while they were (122.89 ± 16.62), (44.53 ± 7.74), (39.49 ± 5.67), (33.53±4.40), (5.33±1.13) in the control group. And the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the control group (t=-2.961, t=-2.409, t=-2.753, t=-2.709, t=-2.389, P<0.05). Furthermore,after implementing the fast-track clinical nursing pathway,the total score of nurse job satisfaction and the scores of six factors were (143.23 ± 9.40), (28.45 ± 2.72), (24.82 ± 2.28), (23.05 ± 1.33), (13.91 ± 1.95), (15.05 ± 1.43), (16.64 ± 1.65) while they were (127.36 ± 13.14), (25.68 ± 4.16), (19.64 ± 2.75), (20.23 ± 2.35), (13.23 ± 2.22), (13.68 ± 2.01), (14.50 ± 1.95) before the implementation. The former was significantly better than the latter (t =-12.462,-7.743,-12.670,-6.560,-2.417,-1.483,-6.587,P<0.05). However, no differences were observed in the other two dimensions of wages and benefits andwork-family balance(t =-1.945,-1.312,P>0.05) since the scores after implementation were (13.86 ± 2.12), (7.45 ± 1.57), while that of (13.18 ± 2.30)、(7.23 ± 1.41) were obtained before performance. Conclusions Application of fast- track nursing pathway in perioperative patients with PHC can contribute to promoting the level of patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of nurses and improving nursing quality. It is suggested that this nursing pathway will have more potential value for PHC patients.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection among family members, and analyze associated risk factors. Methods:The current investigation was a cross-sectional study. The Qinghai region was stratified into urban areas, agricultural areas, and pastoral areas. The urban areas of Xining City, the agricultural areas of Haidong City, and the pastoral areas of Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture were selected. A total of 396 resident families (1 131 people) who underwent health checkups from 2021 to 2022 in the above areas were included in the survey study. Questionnaires were administered and H. pylori infection was detected using the 13C-urea breath test. Numerical data were expressed as cases and percentages, and the Chi-square test was used to compare differences in H. pylori infection rates in the populations and families in each group. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for H. pylori infection, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The prevalence of H. pylori infection in Qinghai province was 52.8% (597/1 131) and the prevalence of H. pylori infection in households was 80.6% (319/396). In H. pylori-positive households with at least 1 infected spouse, 40.4% (36/89) had only 1 infected spouse, and in 59.6% (53/89) both spouses were infected. In analysis of children infected by parents with H. pylori, 20.0% (9/45) of households had fathers and children infected, 48.9% (22/45) had mothers and children infected, and 31.1% (14/45) had both parents and children infected. In univariate analysis there was a statistically significant difference in the overall comparison of H. pylori infection rates among families with different numbers of people living together ( χ2=11.12, P=0.004), and between-group comparisons suggested that H. pylori infection rates were higher in families with 4 or 5 people and more than 5 people living together than in families with 2 or 3 people living together. The H. pylori infection rate was higher in families that did not use serving chopsticks and spoons during family meals than in families that did use serving chopsticks and spoons ( χ2=6.12, P=0.013). In multifactorial logistic regression analyses the number of people living together in a family and whether or not serving chopsticks and spoons were used at family meals were associated with H. pylori infection ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The H. pylori infection rate in families in Qinghai Province is high, and there is a clear association with family aggregation. It is more common for both members of a couple to be infected, and H. pylori infection of a mother has a greater effect on the children′s infection status than H. pylori infection of a father. The infection rate of H. pylori was lower in families that used serving chopsticks and spoons during dinner gatherings, and the fewer the number of people living together in the family, the lower the H. pylori infection rate.
