OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of omeprazole plus colloidal bismuth pectin and amoxicillin in the treatment of duodenal ulcer(DU) and on which a cost-effectiveness analysis was performed.METHODS:80 patients with DU were randomly assigned to receive omeprazole+colloidal bismuth pectin+amoxicillin(Group A,n=40) or omeprazole+clar-ithromycin+amoxicillin(Group B,n=40).After the completion of treatment,gastroscopic examination was performed to observe the cure rate of DU and the improvement of clinical symptoms.The cost-effectiveness ratios were compared.RESULTS:In the two groups(A vs.B),the cure rates under gastroscope were 100.00% vs.87.50%(P

Purpose: The prevalence of psychological distress is frequently observed among old adults with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). However, current researches are insufficient to clarify the correlation among these relevant factors. This study examined the effects of symptom burden, psychological resilience, coping styles, and social support on psychological distress. Methods: Two hundred fifty five elderly patients with AECOPD were conveniently selected in Taian, Shandong Province. The General Information Questionnaire, Distress Thermometer, The Revised Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate. The relationship among factors was estimated by using a structural equation model. Results: Psychological distress score of elderly patients with AECOPD was (5.25 ± 1.01); coping styles, psychological resilience, symptom burden, and social support directly affected psychological distress (thedirect effects were À.93, .17, .17, and À.09); coping styles had the largest total effect on psychological distress (the total effect was À.93); psychological resilience indirectly affected psychological distress through coping styles (the indirect effect was À.74); symptom burden indirectly affected psychologicaldistress through psychological resilience (the indirect effect was .25); social support indirectly affected psychological distress through symptom burden, psychological resilience, and coping styles (the indirecteffect was À.80). Conclusion The psychological distress of elderly patients with AECOPD is at a moderate level; coping styles, psychological resilience, and social support have positive effects on alleviating the psychological distress of elderly patients with AECOPD; symptom burden is negatively correlated with psychological distress.Healthcare professionals should pay more attention to elderly patients with AECOPD who are particularly prone to experience higher levels of psychological distress, especially in the presence of low coping style, limited psychological resilience, inadequate levels of social support, and high symptom burden.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of albumin bound paclitaxel(nab-PTX)and solvent based paclitaxel(sb-PTX)in neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT)for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 patients with advanced EOC who un-derwent preoperative NACT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from June 11,2018 to Sep-tember 19,2023.Among them,52 patients were treated with nab-PTX combined with carboplatin intravenous chemotherapy(nab-PTX group),and 55 with sb-PTX combined with carboplatin intravenous chemotherapy(sb-PTX group).The clinical indicators after NACT,intraoperative conditions of cytoreductive surgery and ad-verse events during the NACT were compared in two groups.Results:The maximum tumor diameter(3.7 cm vs.3.8 cm),CA125(28.9 U/ml vs.31.6 U/ml)and HE4(102.5 U/ml vs.119.0 U/ml)levels in the nab PTX group after NACT were significantly lower than those in the sb-PTX group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).After NACT,the total input(2580 ml vs.2100 ml),the proportion of surgical complexity score(36.54％vs.18.18％),and lymph node resection rate(57.69％vs.29.09％)in the nab-PTX group were significantly higher than those in the sb-PTX group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)in the amount of ascites,clinical efficacy evaluation,ORR,DCR,surgical time,intraoperative bleeding,total output,postoperative hospital stays,surgical satisfaction,pathological complete response rate(pCR),transfu-sion of blood products,lymph node metastasis and adverse effects during NACT between the two groups.Con-clusions:Nab-PTX has a better clinical disease control effect than sb-PTX in NACT,in order to achieve better cy-toreductive surgery,but it has no significant effect on pathological remission.The safety of the two drugs is similar.
