Purpose:To evaluate the effect of Auto-PBSCT combined with long-time low-dose interleukin-2 (after transplant) for increasing the rate of 5-year disease-free survival of lymphoid malignancies (ALL and NHL).Methods:U- sing chemotherapy combined with low dose G-CSF to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells,we carried out auto-PBSCT in lymphoid malignancies (7 cases CR_1 ALL、1 case CR_2 ALL、3 cases CR_1 NHL、5 cases refractory NHL).After transplant, 15 cases used low dose interleukin-2 at 5.10~5U/d for one year or longer.Results:7 cases CR_1 ALL are still alive,the aver- age disease-free survival is 73 months.Median disease-free survival is 51.5 months.2 of 3 cases CR_1 NHL are still alive. The 6 years disease-free survival in 10 cases CR_1 lymphoid malignancies(CR_1 NHL and CR_1 ALL) is 0.90?0.11,the aver- age disease-free survival is 66.8 months.In another PR (refractory) group of NHL and ALL (CR_2),3 years disease-free survival was 0.33?0.18,and average survival time was 20.66 months,but a chemotherapy-sensitive NHL is still alive (63 months),a case of lymphoblast cell NHL also survived for 46 months and died after relapse.Conclusions:Auto-PBSCT combined with long-turm low dose IL-2(after transplant) could effectively increase the rate of 5-year disease-free survival in CR_1 lymphoid malignancies(ALL and NHL).

Objective To explore the influence of Neuman theory on postoperative mental status of the patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods According to their admission order, 120 patients with hypertensive intrac-erebral hemorrhage who accepted operation in our hospital from June 2011 to January 2014 were divided into the ex-perimental group and the control group, each group with 60 patients. The patients in the control group were treated with routine care while the patients in the experimental group were given psychological care interventions designed in ac-cordance with Neuman theory on the basis of the routine care. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared, detected and evaluated by Hamilton Depression Rationg Scale (HAMD) and Self-reporting inventory (SCL-90). Results The differences of HAMD total score of the two groups before interventions were not statistically significant. After 12 weeks intervention, HAMD total score of the experimental group significantly improved, especially in hopelessness, anxiety/somatization and cognitive impairment. The depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, horror, hostility and psychosis of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group after 12 weeks inter-vention. Conclusion Neuman theory has very high value of application to improve postoperative psychological status of the patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage and is worthy of being promoted and applied in clinical work.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of postoperative hospital-acquired infections and drug sensitivity in lung transplant recipients over the past 5 years in a single center. Methods A total of 724 lung transplant recipients at Wuxi People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected. Based on the principles of hospital-acquired infection diagnosis, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the hospital infection situation and infection sites of lung transplant recipients, and an analysis of the distribution of hospital-acquired infection pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility test status was performed. Results Among the 724 lung transplant recipients, 275 cases of hospital-acquired infection occurred, with an infection rate of 38.0%. The case-time infection rate decreased from 54.2% in 2019 to 22.8% in 2023, showing a downward trend year by year (Z=30.98, P<0.001). The main infection site was the lower respiratory tract, accounting for 73.6%. The pathogens were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with the top four being Acinetobacter baumannii (37.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.7%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (13.4%), with imipenem resistance rates of 89%, 53%, 58% and 100%, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria were mainly Staphylococcus aureus (3.6%), with a methicillin resistance rate of 67%. Conclusions Over the past 5 years, the hospital-acquired infections in lung transplant recipients have shown a downward trend, mainly involving lower respiratory tract infections, with the main pathogens being Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, all of which have high resistance rates to imipenem.
