Objective To investigate the condition of exercise, medicine compliance and the rehabilitation of patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) in lower extremity after the surgery, and also to study the influence of self-efficiency and social support to their rehabilitation. Methods The questionnaire survey was performed in 102 patients who had surgical or interventional therapy of arteriosclerosis obliterans in the lower extremity in our hospital, investigated the general information of the patients, their knowledge of postoperative rehabilitation, medicine compliance, exercise condition, general self-efficiency and social support. Results The postoperative time for the patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans was 2 to 22months, the knowledge rate for postoperative rehabilitation was 7.8%-46.1%.The Morisky score for the patients of taking medicine for the treatment of vascular disease was 2.0,and there was only 6 patients(5.9%)with good medicine compliance. There were 22 patients(21.0%) had completed the ambulation training according to the guidelines, and there were 25 patients(24.5%) had completed the Buerger training. The self-efficiency score of the patients was 2.78 ± 0.76, and the gross score of social support was 32.38 ± 7.89. Spearman correlation analysis shows that the Morisky score for the patients of taking medicine for the treatment of vascular disease was in positive correlation with self-efficiency (r=0.289, P=0.003), but in negative correlation with social support (r=–0.286, P=0.006). Conclusions Most of the patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans have poor medicine compliance, and do not do exercise as required by the guidelines. Patients with high self-efficiency demonstrates medicine noncompliance, however the enhancement of social support will help patients improve their medicine compliance.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between resistin and hepatic fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) subjects.Methods Serum resitin and Interleukin (IL)-18's concentrations were measured in 144 subjects (70 NAFLD pa-tients and 74 healthy controls) with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and their serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, triglyceride (TG), total-cholesterol (TC), low density lip-oprotein ( LDL) , high density lipoprotein ( HDL) , homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR) , hyaluronic acid , IVcollagen, height, body weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference were also measured .Their waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body mass indes (BMI) were calculated.Results There were higher levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP), WHR, BMI, TG, ALT, AST, HOMA-IR, hyaluronic acid, IV collagen, resistin, and IL-18 in the NAFLD patients than those of the healthy controls ( P <0.05 ) .The serum resistin level was significantly and positively correlated with WHR , BMI, ALT, HOMA-IR, TG, IV collagen , and IL-18 ( r =0.231 , 0.341 , 0.223 , 0.264 , 0.213 , 0.315 , and 0.669 , P <0.05 ) .After adjustment for body fat and IL-18 , the serum resistin level was still significantly and positively correlated with ALT and IV collagen ( r =0.222 , 0.0.326 , P <0.05 ) . Conclusions Resistin might take part in the development of NAFLD insulin resistance and its pro -inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of superior hypogastric nerve block (SHNB) in relieving pelvic pain after uterine artery embolization (UAE).Methods:Totally 50 patients of UAE before the curettage of uterine incision pregnancy were selected in Affiliated Zhenjiang Fourth People′s Hospital,Jiangsu University from February 2019 to December 2020 and were randomly divided into SHNB group( n=22) and control group( n=28) using random number table. The SHNB group underwent fluoroscopy-guided SHNB before UAE, and the control group received dizocine 10 mg intramuscularly before embolization. Both groups were treated with curettage 24 h after UAE. The pain scores were evaluated by using a numerical rating scale (NRS) to compare the pain scores between the two groups atthe time period A1 (from the beginning of UAE to immediate postoperative period) and at the time period A2 (from leaving the interventional operating room to the time before curettage). Data was recorded and compared between the two groups at the time period from the beginning of UAE surgery to the time before curettage for the doses of opioids used.The differences inage and weight between the two groups were compared by independent sample t test, and the NRS score and morphine dose were compared by Mann-whitney U test. Results:All patients completed SHNB and UAE without serious complications.There was no significant difference in age and weight between the two groups ( P>0.05).The maximum pain scores in the SHNB group were lower than those in the control group at both the A1 and A2 time periods[0(0, 0.25) vs. 3.00 (2.00, 4.00), and 2.50 (0.75, 5.50) vs. 4.00 (3.25, 7.00); Z=-4.932, -2.351, P<0.05]. The equivalent dose of morphine required in the SHNB group was lower than that of the control group [0(0, 10.00) vs. 10.00 (5.00, 15.00)mg, Z=-2.247, P=0.025]. Conclusion:Fluoroscopic-guided SHNB is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to reduce pain and the opiate dose after UAE.

Objective:To comprehensively search the relevant literature on prone position-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (PP-CPR) in adults at home and abroad, analyze the content, summarize the evidence, and provide reference for clinical health care professionals.Methods:Systematic search of CNKI, China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), Wanfang Data, VIP database, PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochran Library, Web of Science, Scopus literature database and other Chinese and English databases was conducted. The search period was from inception to June 15 in 2024. The contents of PP-CPR from randomized controlled trial (RCT), non-RCT (prospective or retrospective), cohort studies and case reports were extracted and systematically analyzed. The search results were standardized by the method of scoping review.Results:A total of 523 articles were obtained through preliminary search, and 14 references and gray literature were retrieved, totaling 537 articles. After strict screening by two researchers, a total of 26 literatures were included, 3 were non-RCT and 23 were case reports, involving 12 countries, including 3 in Chinese, 19 in English, 2 in French, 1 in German, and 1 in Korean. Three non-RCT demonstrated that compared with standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), PP-CPR could produce higher pressure, and provide good respiratory and circulatory support. A total of 25 adult patients were included in the 23 case reports, of which 17 reported total recovery time and 13 reported PP-CPR time ≤ 5 minutes, all of which recovered spontaneous circulation, indicating the effectiveness of PP-CPR technology. In terms of final outcome, 4 patients (16.0%) died and 21 patients (84.0%) survived, indicating that PP-CPR technology could provide timely blood circulation and improve clinical outcomes for prone cardiac arrest patients. Among the 11 patients who reported complications after resuscitation, no neurological damage was found in the short-term outcomes, indicating that PP-CPR technology had a certain level of safety.Conclusions:PP-CPR can provide timely blood circulation for patients with cardiac arrest who are unable to lie supine quickly, and win "golden time" for defibrillation and further treatment. In clinical practice, medical staff need to evaluate the emergency environment, the number of rescuers and the specific condition of the patient, and implement first aid as soon as possible, so as to reduce the time of no blood flow in the vital organs of patients with cardiac arrest in prone position, and improve the clinical prognosis.
