Objective To investigate CT features on increased cerebral vascular density and its pathological mechanism in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease(CCHD).MethodsPreoperative brain CT scan and clinical data in 82 patients suffering from CCHD were analyzed. According to the increased levels of vascular density,patients were divided into 4 groups:normal,mild,moderate and severe.Relationships between the increased levels of vascular density and Hb,RBC,HCT,as well as the degree of cyanosis,were studied.AVONA was carried out to test blood CT value of cerebral sinuses,Hb,RBC and HCT in different groups. Descriptive analysis and linear regression were adopted to study the correlation between blood CT value and Hb concentration.The relationship of increased vascular density todegrees of cyanosis was analysed by Spearman.Results Among 82 patients,12 patients ( 14.6% ) werefound in the group of normal vascular density and 70 patients ( 85.4% ) in the increased vascular density group.Among 70 patients with increased vascular density,22 patients (26.8% ) with (55.4 ± 2.6) HU,(169 ±6)g/L of Hb,(5.8 ±0.3) × 1012/L of RBC and 0.51 ±0.03 of HCT,29 patients (35.4%) with (61.3 ± 2.9) HU,(209 ± 15 ) g/L,(7.1 ± 0.4) × 1012/L,0.66 ± 0.06 and 19 patients ( 23.2% ) with ( 68.8 ± 4.2) HU,( 242 ± 23 ) g/L,( 8.3 ± 0.9 ) × 1012/L,0.78 ± 0.08 were observed in the mild,moderateand severe group,respectively.There were significant differences in distribution of blood CT value ( HU),Hb,RBC and HCT in different groups ( F =163.263,134.703,120.974,136.541 ;P < 0.01 ).Blood CT value was positively correlated with Hb concentration ( r =0.98,P < 0.01 ). Vascular density was also positively correlated with the degree of cyanosis ( r =0.86,P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Cerebral vascular density of patients suffering from CCHD presented different levels of increases based on CT scan results due to rise of RBC stimulated by anoxia.The increased level of vascular density was positively correlated with blood Hb concentration,and also associated with RBC accunulation caused by abnormal blood circulation.Moreover,it was positively correlated with the degree of cyanosis.

Objective:To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) -infected pneumonia in Enshi, Hubei, and to improve the awareness of the disease, which is key for surveillance and control measures of 2019-nCoV pneumonia in the region.Methods:The first 66 laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV patients in Enshi between January 23, 2020 and February 1, 2020 were included. Their epidemiological data, demographic data, clinical data and therapeutic effect were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the first 66 patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV, patients had an average age of 46±9 years, 35 (53.0%) patients were male and 31 (47.0%) female; 38 (57.6%) patients were Han, 18 (27.3%) were Tujia, and 10 (15.1%) were Miao. Thirty-seven (56%) patients had chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, chronic bronchus, inflammation, diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis. All the patients had a history of exposure or indirect exposure in Wuhan epidemic area, mainly history of Wuhan sojourner. The mean incubation period varied from 2.5-16 days, with the 95th percentile of the distribution at 7 days. The main clinical manifestation were fever [66 (100%) patients], dry cough [56 (84.8%)], chest tightness [21 (31.8%)], shortness of breath [8 (12.1%)], massive fatigue [23 (34.8%)], muscle ache [6 (9.1%)], headache [4 (6.1%)], sore throat [13 (19.7%) ], rhinorrhoea [11 (16.7%) ], and diarrhea [ 5 (7.6%)]. Six (9.1%) critically ill patients and 4 (6.1%) critically ill patients had dyspnea. White blood cell counts were normal or decreased in 51 (77.3%) patients, and increased in 15 (22.7%). Lymphocyte counts were reduced or normal in 58 (87.9%) patients, and increased in 8 (12.1%) patients. Most patients had elevated CRP and erythrocyte sedimentation, and some patients had normal ranges of liver function, renal function, and electrolytes. Ten severely ill patients had elevated liver enzymes and cardiac enzymes (especially K and CKMB). There were significant differences in inflammatory markers among patients of different nationalities. Arterial blood gas analysis in 56 (84.8%) mild patients showed no significant abnormalities. Chest CT scans of 66 patients showed single or multiple small patchy shadows and interstitial changes, which were evident in the extrapulmonary band. All patients were hospitalized and isolated for treatment. Of the 66 patients received oxygen therapy, most of them received antiviral therapy (abidol/Kaletra, 0.2 g po tid/2 pills po bid) and interferon (aerosol inhalation), few patient received antibacterial therapy (Tanreqing, 20 mL ivgtt qd) and glucocorticoid therapy (methylprednisolone, 40 mg ivgtt bid), and supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Six (9.1%) severely ill patients and 4 (6.1%) critically ill patients treated with non-invasive or invasive ventilator.Conclusions:The patients in this study are all imported cases. Most patients have mild clinical symptoms. The lungs show single or multiple small patchy shadows and interstitial changes, which are obvious with extrapulmonary bands. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and the above-mentioned symptomatic treatment scheme is effective. The overall morbidity and mortality in this region are lower than those in other parts of the province, and the mortality and critical illness rate of ethnic minority patients are lower than those of Han patients. There are significant differences in inflammatory markers such as leukocytes and lymphocytes among patients of different nationalities.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of chronic disease self-efficacy between fatigue and social support in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From July 2020 to April 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 376 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy in the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, Fatigue Scale-14, Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate the patients. Structural equation modeling was used to test the mediating effect among variables. A total of 376 questionnaires were distributed, and 372 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 98.94%.Results:Among 372 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, the total scores of the Fatigue Scale-14, Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were (10.61±1.81) , (5.00±2.53) and (43.42±12.59) , respectively. Chronic disease self-efficacy was positively correlated with social support in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy ( r=0.493-0.648, P<0.01) , and social support was negatively correlated with fatigue ( r=-0.703--0.234, P<0.01) , and self-efficacy was negatively correlated with fatigue ( r=-0.729--0.220, P<0.01) . Chronic disease self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between fatigue and social support in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (β=-0.335, P<0.01) , and the mediating effect accounted for 47.59% of the total effect. Conclusions:Social support can indirectly affect fatigue through chronic disease self-efficacy in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Nurses should focus on improving the chronic disease self-efficacy and social support of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the application effect of defect scenario simulation combined with joint review action in the training of blood-borne occupational exposure of nursing assistants.Methods:From February 1, 2020 to February 1, 2021, a total of 97 nursing assistants from Central District of Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, were selected as the experimental group and 89 nursing assistants from the Eastern District were selected as the control group. The control group received routine training, while the observation group received defect scenario simulation combined with action training. After 1 year of training, the incidence of blood-borne occupational exposure and blood-borne occupational exposure knowledge scores of nursing assistants in the two groups were compared.Results:During the intervention period, 1 nursing assistant in the experimental group resigned, 2 nursing assistants asked for leave twice or more, and 94 nursing assistants were finally enrolled. In the control group, 2 nursing assistants resigned and 3 nursing assistants asked for leave twice or more, and 84 nursing assistants were eventually enrolled. The incidence of blood-borne occupational exposure of nursing assistants in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group and the score of blood-borne occupational exposure knowledge was higher than that in the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Defect scenario simulation combined with joint review action has a good effect in blood-borne occupational exposure training of nursing assistants, which can reduce the incidence of blood-borne occupational exposure and improve their blood-borne occupational exposure knowledge scores. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
