Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with ulinastatin on lung injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB).Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 33-64,weighing 47-81 kg,NYHA class Ⅱ or Ⅲ ,scheduled for cardiac valve replacement,were randomly divided into 4 groups(n = 15 each): control group(group C),ulinastatin group(group U),penehyclidine hydrochloride group(group P)and penehyclidine hydrochloride + ulinastatin group(group PU).Group U,P and PU received iv injection of ulinastatin 20 000 U/kg,penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.05 mg/kg and ulinastatin 20 000 U/kg + penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.05 mg/kg 30 min after the end of CPB,respectively,while group C received equal volume of normal saline.Then PEEP was increased to 8 cm H2O in all groups.Blood samples were taken at 30 min,3 and 6 h after the end of CPB and 12 and 24 h after operation for determination of PaO2 and serum concentrations of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8 and IL-10.Airway peak pressure and airway plateau pressure were recorded at the corresponding time points.Oxygen index(OI)and pulmonary compliance(CL)were calculated.Lung injury was scored at 6 h after the end of CPB and 12 and 24 h after operation.Results OI and CL were significantly increased and lung injury score was significantly decreased in group U,P and PU compared with group C(P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and in group PU compared with group U and P (P ＜ 0.05).Serum concentrations of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly lower and the serum IL-10 concentration was significantly higher in group U,P and PU than in group C(P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and in group PU than in group U and P(P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the indices mentioned above between group U and P(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with ulinastatin can attenuate lung injury by inhibiting inflammatory response in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the cerebral injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 43-64 yr,scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each):control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Dexmedetomidine 0.6 μg/kg was injected intravenously over 15 min before induction of anesthesia,followed by infusion at 0.2μg· kg-1 · h-1 until the end of operation in group D.While the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.Blood samples were obtained from the radial artery and jugular bulb for blood gas analysis before CPB,immediatelv after declamping of the ascending aorta,at the end of CPB and at 6 h after operation (T1-4).The arteriovenous blood O2 difference (Da-jvO2) and cerebral O2 extraction rate (CERO2) were calculated.The plasma concentrations of S-100β and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in the blood samples obtained from the jugular bulb were measured at T1-4 and 24 h after operation.Results Compared with group C,the jugular venous oxygen saturation was significantly increased and Da-jvO2 and CERO were decreased at T2,3,and the plasma concentrations of S100β and NSE were decreased at T2-4 in group D (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can decrease the cerebral O2 metabolic rate and reduce the cerebral injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under CPB.

Objective To explore the negative emotion and self-management of elderly patients with COPD during their community-based rehabilitation.Methods Phenomenological research method of qualitative research was used,12 elderly patients with COPD during their community-based rehabilitation period received in-depth interviews.Results There were three themes sublimated from the patients negative emotions:aloneness and inferiority feeling,self-abasement and guilty feeling,sense of helplessness.Self-management of negative emotions also had three themes:gratitude mood,complying with the disease and distracting attention.Conclusions It is necessary to pay close attention to the negative emotions of elderly patients with COPD during their community-based rehabilitation; the community healthcare services should bear the responsibility of COPD patients' rehabilitation; we should explore practical intervention plan work on gratitude mood of elderly patients with COPD ; mobilize all social resources to do a good job on social support in elderly patients with COPD.

Objective To explore the current situation of knowledge,beliefs and behavior of elderly patients with COPD during their community-based rehabilitation.Methods Phenomenological research method of qualitative research was used,14 elderly patients with COPD during their community-based rehabilitation period received in-depth interviews.Results There were three themes and corresponding subthemes sublimated from the patients:self-management knowledge and skills,self-management beliefs and attitudes and self-management behavior.Conclusions It is necessary to pay close attention to spreading disease related health information,especially for patients with low health literacy.During the process of COPD self-management projects,we should focus on negative beliefs and negative attitudes on their selfmanagement behavior choice,which is as important as strengthening the patients' self-efficacy.

Objective To explore the impact of psychological alignment and coping style on nurse′s job satisfaction. Methods A total of 389 clinical nurses were investigated by the Sense of Coherence Scale, the simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Minnesota Satisfaction Scale. Results The scores of job satisfaction, psychological alignment, positive coping and pessimistic coping of clinical nurses was (72.91 ± 11.10), (56.97 ± 10.29), (23.16 ± 5.40) and (9.80 ± 4.03) points respectively. The predictors of job satisfaction were sense of control, sense of meaning and positive coping style. Conclusions It is suggested that nursing managers should pay close attention to nurses′psychological alignment and guide clinical nurses adopt positive coping style, and thereby to improve nurses′job satisfaction.

Objective To evaluate the effective treatment for and prevention of complications. Methods The diagnosis and treatment of 32 patients with acute arterial ischemia of the lower extremity were analyzed (retrospectively). 4 cases were treated with thrombolytic therapy, 28 cases underwent emergency operation, of which 3 cases underwent amputation after embolectomy, and 25 cases were treated by arteriotomy of femoral artery and embolectomy with Fogarty catheter(7 cases underwent concomitant arterioplasty).Results One (patient) in the nonoperative group died; but there was no mortality in the operated group. Limb amputation was done in 3 cases, and limbs were saved in 28 cases. Conclusions For acute arterial ischemia of the lower (extremity), emergency arteriotomy of femoral artery plus embolectomy is the treatment of choice. This (therapeutic) approach can lower mortality and limb amputation rate.

Objective To study the indication,feasibility and short-term efficacy of combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic radical esophagectomy for the treatment of esophageal cancer.Methods Retrospective medical records analysis was conducted for 139 esophageal cancer patients who underwent combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy in our department from December 2009 to August 2011.The tumors were located in upper esophagus in 16 cases,middle esophagus in 107 cases,and lower esophagus in 16 cases.The surgery started with the thoracoscopic mobilization of thoracic esophagus and lymph nodes dissection,which were followed by the laparoscopic stomach mobilization and gastroesophageal anastomosis in left neck.Postoperative pathological staging identified stage Ⅰ esophageal cancer in 25 cases ( stage Ⅰ a:13 cases,stage Ⅰ b:12 cases),stage Ⅱ esophageal cancer in 71 cases,stage Ⅲ esophageal cancer in 31 cases ( stage Ⅲ a:16 cases,stage Ⅲ b:15 cases) and stage Ⅳ esophageal cancer in 12 cases.Results Except for open conversions in 4 cases (2.9％),all surgical operations were completed smoothly.Postoperative anastomotic leak was found in 6 cases(4.3％ ),chylothorax in 1 case(0.7％ ),arrhythmia in 4 cases(2.9％ ),and dumping syndrome in 1 case( 0.7％ ).All of these complicated cases fully recovered after conservative treatments.Postoperative lung infection was found 11 cases (7.9％),3 of whom required tracheotomy and assisted ventilation and 1 case died as a result of the infection (mortality rate:0.7％ ).Ten cases(7.2％ ) presented with hoarseness postoperatively.Out of the 139 cases,130 cases were successfully followed up with durations ranged from 1 to 20 months,during of time the esophageal cancer spread to liver in 2 cases,celiac lymph nodes in 4 cases,lung in 2 cases,and bone in 1 case.Ten cases died,and all remaining cases remained alive during the follow up.The one-year survival rate was 88.9％ for these cases.Conclusion Combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic radical esophagectomy is a technically safe and feasible treatment for esophageal cancer.The short-term efficacy results are satisfactory.This technique is indicated not only for early and middle stage esophageal cancer,but also for some of the advanced esophageal cancer cases.

Objective To improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of renal vein tumor thrombus in renal cell carcinoma (RCC),the clinical characteristics of RCC with misdiagnosis of renal vein tumor thrombus (RVTT) were analyzed.Methods Clinical data of 128 patients with RCC accompanied with RVTT from January 2000 to September 2015 were studied retrospectively.According to whether RVTT failed to be detected preoperatively,all patients were divided into 39 cases of misdiagnosis group and 89 cases of no misdiagnosis group.Forty cases of RCC with pathologically confirmed no RVTT were selected as no tumor thrombus group from January 2015 to June 2015.Misdiagnosis group included 29 males and 10 females,with age of (61.4 ± 11.1) years old,body mass index of (26.74 ±3.12) kg/m2,KPS ＜80 in 2 cases,paraneoplastic syndrome and Mayo grade 0 in 1 case.No misdiagnosis group consisted of 74 males and 15 females,with age of (60.2 ± 9.7) years old,body mass index of (25.12 ± 1.93) kg/m2,KPS ＜ 80 in 5 cases,paraneoplastic syndrome and Mayo grade 0 in 7 cases.No tumor thrombus group comprised of 31 males and 9 females,with age of (59.5 ± 10.7) years old,body mass index of (24.48 ± 2.56) kg/m2,KPS ＜ 80 in 3 cases,and paraneoplastic syndrome in 3 cases.There was no significant difference in general clinical data between misdiagnosis group and no misdiagnosis group,and misdiagnosis group and no tumor thrombus group (P ＞ 0.05).The tumor location,tumor diameter and imaging data were compared between misdiagnosis group and no misdiagnosis group,and misdiagnosis group and no tumor thrombus group.Results There was no significant difference in term of tumor locating in the middle pole [56.4％ (22/39) vs.38.2％ (34/89)],tumor with collateral vessels [33.3％ (13/39) vs.31.5％ (28/89)] and renal vein contrast agents filling defect [42.9％ (9/21) vs.61.8％ (21/34)] between misdiagnosis group and no misdiagnosis group (P ＞ 0.05).The proportion of renal tumor locating in the middle pole,tumor with collateral vessels and renal vein contrast agents filling defect in misdiagnosis group was significantly higher than that of no tumor thrombus group [30.0％ (12/40),P =0.018;10.0％ (4/40),P =0.012;16.7％ (4/24),P =0.002].Conclusions RVTT is vulnerable of misdianosis in RCC.It should be alert to the possibility of complicating tumor thrombus in the presence of renal tumor locating in the middle pole,renal tumor with collateral vessels and renal vein contrast agents filling defect.The clinical understanding of these features should be improved.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of switching to co-formulated elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/c/F/TAF) combined with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in the treatment of previously untreated chronic hepatitis C patients with HIV/HCV co-infection and the changes in blood lipid levels. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted among 10 previously untreated chronic hepatitis C patients with HIV/HCV co-infection who attended Department of Infectious Diseases in Tangdu Hospital from July 2019 to May 2021 and achieved continuous HIV suppression after antiretroviral treatment (ART). As for anti-HIV therapy, the ART regimen was switched to the E/c/F/TAF regimen for 32 weeks, and for anti-HCV therapy, the SOF/VEL regimen was started since week 4 after switching and lasted for 12 weeks. Related indices were monitored before and after switching to E/c/F/TAF for anti-HCV therapy and SOF/VEL for anti-HCV therapy, including body weight, body mass index, HCV genotype, alpha-fetoprotein, liver stiffness measurement, CD4 + T cell count, CD4 + T/CD8 + T ratio, hepatic and renal function parameters, blood lipids, HIV RNA, HCV RNA, SVR12, SVR24, and adverse reactions. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and a Spearman correlation analysis was performed. Results After 4 weeks of treatment with E/c/F/TAF, 10 patients (HCV genotypes 2a and 1b) had HIV RNA below the lower limit of detection (20 IU/ml) and a significant reduction in albumin ( Z =-2.801, P =0.003 7), with the other indices remaining stable, and the patients reported significant improvements in the adverse events of anti-HIV therapy with the former ART regimen. After 4 weeks of E/c/F/TAF combined with SOF/VEL, the patients had HCV RNA below the lower limit of detection (15 IU/ml), and both SVR12 and SVR24 reached 100%; after 12 weeks of anti-HCV therapy, there were significant reductions in alanine aminotransferase ( Z =-2.732, P =0.004 8) and aspartate aminotransferase ( Z =-2.501, P =0.010 7) and significant increases in total cholesterol (TC) ( Z =-2.797, P =0.003 9) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ( Z =-2.343, P =0.018 5), with a significantly positive correlation between them ( r =0.87, P < 0.001), and all the other indices were normal. Conclusion For previously untreated chronic hepatitis C patients with HIV/HCV co-infection, switching to E/c/F/TAF combined with SOF/VEL has good efficacy, tolerability, and safety, and the combination of the two regimens can avoid drug interaction, achieve a high HCV cure rate, and maintain HIV suppression. Transient increases in TC and LDL-C are observed during combination treatment, which suggests dyslipidemia caused by HCV infection and the pharmacological action of this regimen.
