Objective To identify issues and summarize experiences through the analysis and discussion of the current measurement comparison activity, and to improve the radiation detection ability of the social radiation environment detection institutions in Jiangsu Province, China. Methods Fixed measurement points were established. The institutions were assigned to different groups and carried out measurements one-by-one on site. For cosmic ray response value, each institution measured and recorded 50 original data; for γ dose rate in fields, roads, and indoor environments, each reference institution measured and recorded 10 original data. The institutions calculated the monitoring results independently, and the organizer’s expert group checked the results to ensure that there were no calculation errors. Gross errors were eliminated by Grubbs test, and the comparison results were evaluated by Z-score method (median/normalized interquartile range). Results Among the 75 measurement results (excluding the cosmic ray response values), 94.7% were rated as “satisfactory”, 5.3% as “problematic”, and none as “unsatisfactory”. The “problematic” results involved two FH40G γ radiation dose rate meters and one AT1121 γ radiation dose rate meter. Conclusion The cosmic ray response value of the instrument does not necessarily affect the comparison and evaluation of environmental γ radiation dose rate measurement results. AT1121 γ radiation dose rate meter may not be suitable for measuring the air-absorbed dose rate of γ radiation in general environment.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the modified presentation assimilation discussion combined with heuristic clinical medicine teaching in training of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select 62 nurses who participated in training of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to June 2023 as the research objects. A total of 30 nurses who participated in the 25th training session from January to March 2023 were selected as the control group, and 32 nurses who participated in the 26th training session from April to June 2023 were selected as the observation group. The control group received conventional training method, while the observation group received modified presentation assimilation discussion combined with heuristic clinical medicine teaching. The theoretical knowledge and operational skills of nurses, core competence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses and training satisfaction were compared between the two groups after training.Results:After training, the scores of theoretical knowledge and operational skills, core competence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses and training satisfaction in observation group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The modified presentation assimilation discussion combined with heuristic clinical medicine teaching can improve the theoretical knowledge and operational skills of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses, and the nurses' training satisfaction is higher.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum osteopontin (OPN), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and renal function and bone mineral density in patients with diabetes nephropathy (DN).Methods:A total of 120 patients with DN diagnosed in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the DN group, 60 patients with simple diabetes as the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) group, and 60 subjects with normal glucose tolerance test as the control group. The serum OPN, BMP2, RBP4, low bone mineral density (LBMD), femoral neck bone density (FNBMD) and renal function indicators of the three groups were compared. According to the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) of DN patients, the patients were divided into microalbuminuria DN group (71 cases) and massive albuminuria DN group (49 cases), and stratified comparison was made. The simple linear correlation analysis was used to analyze the OPN of DN patients. BMP2, RBP4, renal function and bone mineral density.Results:The fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), serum creatinine (Scr), UAER, and cystatin (CysC) levels of DN group patients were significantly higher than those of T2DM group and control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The FPG and HbA 1c in the T2DM group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The OPN and BMP2 of DN group patients were higher than those of T2DM group and control group, while the RBP4, LBMD, FNBMD of DN group were lower than those of T2DM group and control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The OPN and BMP2 of the T2DM group were higher than those of the control group, while RBP4 was lower than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The levels of FPG, HbA 1c, Scr, UAER, and CysC in patients with macroalbuminuria DN were significantly higher than those in patients with microalbuminuria DN, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The OPN and BMP2 of patients in the large albuminuria DN group were higher than those in the microalbuminuria DN group, while the RBP4, LBMD, and FNBMD of patients in the large albuminuria DN group were lower than those in the microalbuminuria DN group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The OPN of DN group patients was positively correlated with Scr, UAER, and CysC (all P<0.05), while BMP2 was positively correlated with UAER and CysC (all P<0.05); The OPN and BMP2 of DN group patients were negatively correlated with LBMD and FNBMD (all P<0.05), while RBP4 was positively correlated with LBMD and FNBMD (all P<0.05). Conclusions:OPN, BMP2, RBP4 are closely related to the degree of renal function impairment and bone loss in DN patients, and can to some extent reflect the degree of bone metabolism and osteoporosis in T2DM patients.

Objective:To analyze the influence of forming direction on the surface characteristics,elastic modulus,bending strength and fracture toughness of printed parts and the relationship between forming direction and force direction,and to provide scientific basis and guidance for the clinical applica-tion of oral denture base resin materials.Methods:The 3D printing technology was used to print denture base resin samples.The shape and size of the samples referred to the current standard for testing conven-tional denture base materials.The samples used for physical performance testing were cylindrical(with a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 1 mm)and printed at different angles along the Z axis(0°,45°,90°).Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the microscopic topography of the different sam-ples.The color stability of different samples was observed by color stabilizer.The surface roughness of the samples was analyzed by using surface roughness tester.The Vickers hardness was measured to ana-lyze the hardness of the samples.The samples used for mechanical performance testing were rectangular(elastic modulus and bending strength:A length of 64 mm,a width of 10 mm,and a height of 3.3 mm;fracture toughness:A length of 39 mm,a width of 8 mm,and a height of 4 mm),divided into two groups:W group and H group.The W group was printed from the bottom up along the Z axis with the length × width as the bottom surface parallel to the X,Y axis plane,while the H group printed from the bottom up along the Z axis with the length × height as the bottom surface parallel to the X,Y axis plane.The forming angles of both groups were equally divided into 0°,45°,and 90°.The elastic modulus,bending strength and fracture toughness of different samples were studied through universal mechanical testing machine.SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:The microscopic topogra-phy and roughness of different samples were closely related to the printing direction,with significant differences between the 0°,45°,and 90° specimens.The 0° specimens had the smoothest surface(roughness＜1 μm).The surface of the 45 ° specimen was the roughest(roughness＞3 μm).The microhardness of the 0° sample was the best[(196.13±0.20)MPa],with a significant difference com-pared with the 90° sample[(186.62±4.81)MPa,P＜0.05].The mechanical properties of different samples were also closely related to the printing direction.The elastic modulus,bending strength,and fracture toughness of the 45° samples in the W group were the highest compared with the other groups.The results of elastic modulus showed that in the H group,the 45° specimens had the highest elastic mo-dulus,which was significantly different from the 0° and 90° specimens(P＜0.05).The elastic modulus of 0° and 45° specimens in the W group were higher than those in 90° specimens(P＜0.05).The bending strength results showed that there was no significant difference between the specimens from dif-ferent angles in the H group.The bending strength of the 90° specimens in the W group was the smallest,and there was a significant difference between 90° and the 0° and 45° specimens(P＜0.05);And the bendind strength of the 0° and 45° specimens in the W group was significantly higher than that of the 0° and 45° specimens in the H group(P＜0.05).The fracture toughness results showed that the fracture toughness of the H group specimens was lower than 1.9 MPa m1/2,which was specified in the denture base standard.The 45° samples in the W group were the highest,with significant differences compared with the 0° and 90° samples(P＜0.05).And the 90° samples of the W group specimens were lower than 1.9 MPa m1/2.And the fracture toughness of the 45° specimen in the W group was significantly higher than that of all the specimens in the H group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The 0° samples had rela-tively better physical properties.The 45° samples had the best mechanical properties.But the fracture toughness of specimens(H group and 90° samples of W group)did not yet meet clinical requirements.That indicated that the characteristics of the 3D printing denture base resin were affected by the printing direction.Only when the performance of the printed samples in all directions met the minimum require-ments of the standard,they could be used in clinical practice.

Gynecological cancer significantly affect the health of women.This review aimed to describe the global patterns and trends in the survival of patients with gynecological cancers.We searched PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,SinoMed,and SEER for survival analyses of cancer registration data of cervical,endometrial,and ovarian cancers published between 1980 and 2022.Globally,the highest 5-year observed survival rate for cervical cancer was 76.5%in Anshan,Liaoning,China(2008-2017).The 5-year observed survival rates of endometrial and ovarian cancers were higher in Finland(1995-1999,82.5%)and Singapore(1988-1992,62.0%).The 5-year relative survival rate of cervical cancer patients was higher in Haining,Zhejiang,China(2011-2014,85.8%).Korea ranked first at 89.0%and 64.5%for endometrial and ovarian cancers,respectively.Survival rates have improved for cervical,endometrial,and ovarian cancers.Patients aged≥75 years and those with advanced-stage disease had the worst 5-year survival rates.Survival rates were better for squamous cell carcinoma in cervical cancer,for endometrial carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma in endometrial cancer,and for germ cell and sex-cord stromal tumors in ovarian cancer.Over the past four decades,the survival rates of gynecological cancers have increased globally,with notable increases in cervical and endometrial cancers.Survival rates are higher in developed countries,with a slow-growing trend.Future studies should focus on improving survival,especially in ovarian cancer patients.

Objectives:To analyze the status and temporal changes of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for stomach and colorectal cancers among registered permanent residents in Changning District of Shanghai Municipality, and provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of stomach and colorectal cancers in this district.Methods:Using the cancer registration data of stomach and colorectal cancers from 2002 to 2019, we estimated the indices such as the DALYs, the DALY crude rates, the age-standardized DALY rates, etc. Then we used the Joinpoint regression model to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC) to explore the temporal variations in different periods.Results:The DALYs of stomach and colorectal cancers in Changning District from 2002 to 2019 were 55 931 person years and 65 252 person years, respectively. The crude rates of DALY were 512.16/10 5 and 597.51/10 5, respectively. We observed a higher disease burden in men than in women, and the peak rate of DALY in stomach cancer was in the 75-79 years age group, while in colorectal cancer the rate was in the 85-years-or-older age group. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that from 2002 to 2019, the age-standardized DALY rate of stomach cancer showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.86%, P＜0.05), while the trend of colorectal cancer was not statistically significant(AAPC=-0.08%, P＞0.05). However, the trends in the age-standardized DALY rates of colorectal cancer were different between males and females, with males showing an upward trend (AAPC=1.24%, P＜0.05) and females showing a downward trend (AAPC=-1.67%, P＜0.05). Conclusions:The DALY of stomach and colorectal cancers in Changning District of Shanghai showed a decreasing trend. Males and the middle-aged and elderly populations are still the key targets for disease prevention and control in this district.

Objective:To investigate the application effects of a novel framework: the external septal retention bionic framework in East Asian rhinoplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed based on the clinical data of the patients who received treatments in Department of Plastic and Aesthetic ( Burn) Surgery, the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2022 to July 2023 using an external septal retention bionic framework with autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty. The patients were all treated with a V-shaped incision at the nasal columella, which continued to both sides of the nose to form a bird-shaped incision. During the operation, the sixth or seventh costal cartilage was sculpted to form the nasal columella support grafts (sturt), external nasal septal graft, cap grafts, and shield grafts, in which the nasal column support graft and external nasal septal graft were implanted in a mortise-and-tenon joint structure to form a septum bionic retained external stent in order to lengthen the nasal columellar column and strengthen the septum. A capsular graft was used to shape the tip of the nose and the rectus abdominis fascia was covered to soften the tip of the nose, and the shield grafts were used to fill out the subnasal lobules. A bulb was sculpted, shaped and implanted in the dorsal space to elevate the nasal dorsum. To observe the postoperative results and complications, a postoperative satisfaction survey was completed using the rhinoplasty outcome evaluation (ROE) and the visual analogue scale (VAS) with regular follow-up. Comparison of preoperative and postoperative scale scores was performed using paired samples t-test. Nasal stent stability was assessed by measuring the patients’ preoperative and postoperative nasolabial angle and nasal tip protrusion. The comparison of preoperative and postoperative nasolabial angle was performed using the paired-sample t-test, and the comparison of nasal tip protrusion was performed using the Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test, P<0.05 considered a statistically significant difference. Results:A total of 33 patients were enrolled, including 4 males and 29 females, with average age of 23.8 years(15-42 years). The follow-up period is (14.52 ± 4.72) months (3 to 21 months). Thirty-three patients recovered well after surgery, and no short-term complications such as infection or bleeding occurred. The patients' nasal aesthetic problems such as saddle nose, deviated nasal columella, bilateral asymmetry of the nose, bilateral nasal base depression, and rounded shield of the nasal tip were improved after surgery. Satisfaction survey results: ROE and VAS scores were significantly higher than those before surgery, which were [(17.92±2.56) vs.(12.78±3.14)] and [(8.08±1.66)vs(5.15±1.99)], ( P<0.05), 87.9% (27/33)of the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic and functional outcomes of the nose. Comparisons of nasolabial angle [(87.28±2.58)° vs. (97.64±1.95)°] and tip protrusion [1.88 (1.78, 1.95) cm vs. 2.16(2.01, 2.32) cm] measurements between preoperative and postoperative period of the 33 patients, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Rhinoplasty for East Asians employs an external septal retention bionic framework to retain the nasal septum. This technique can avoid septal cartilage resorption caused by compression of grafts transplanted in the future, and cause less damage to the anatomy and physiology of the nose. The framework is relatively easy to construct, with a stable and strong stent, and good patient satisfaction. It can achieve a more desirable aesthetic effect of the nose.

Poria is an important medicine for inducing diuresis to drain dampness from the middle energizer. However, the specific effective components and the potential mechanism of Poria remain largely unknown. To identify the effective components and the mechanism of Poria water extract (PWE) to treat dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency syndrome (DSSD), a rat model of DSSD was established through weight-loaded forced swimming, intragastric ice-water stimulation, humid living environment, and alternate-day fasting for 21 days. After 14 days of treatment with PWE, the results indicated that PWE increased fecal moisture percentage, urine output, D-xylose level and weight; amylase, albumin, and total protein levels; and the swimming time of rats with DSSD to different extents. Eleven highly related components were screened out using the spectrum-effect relationship and LC-MS. Mechanistic studies revealed that PWE significantly increased the expression of serum motilin (MTL), gastrin (GAS), ADCY5/6, p-PKAα/β/γ cat, and phosphorylated cAMP-response element binding protein in the stomach, and AQP3 expression in the colon. Moreover, it decreased the levels of serum ADH, the expression of AQP3 and AQP4 in the stomach, AQP1 and AQP3 in the duodenum, and AQP4 in the colon. PWE induced diuresis to drain dampness in rats with DSSD. Eleven main effective components were identified in PWE. They exerted therapeutic effect by regulating the AC-cAMP-AQP signaling pathway in the stomach, MTL and GAS levels in the serum, AQP1 and AQP3 expression in the duodenum, and AQP3 and AQP4 expression in the colon.
