Objective To investigate the effect of postoperatively early stage-function-exercise on the recovery of upper limb function of diseased side after breast cancer modified radical mastectomy.Methods One hundred patients with breast cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to June 2016 were collected.All patients underwent modified radical mastectomy.The patients were divided into the observation group and control group after operation,50 cases in each group.The observation group was given the early stage-function-exercise,while the control group received the routine nursing care.The shoulder joint mobility,affected limb edema degree,self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)score,self-rating depression scale (SDS) score and 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) score were observed in the both groups.Results When compared with the control group,the patients in the observation group got a significant increase in the shoulder joint activity such as antexion,abduction,internal rotation,external rotation,adduction and rear protraction at postoperative 3,6-months (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in upper limb volume,SAS score and SDS score before the operation (P>0.05).However,when compared with the control group,the patients in the observation group got a significant decrease of upper limb volume at postoperative 3 months[(1 543.38±414.93) mL vs.(1 635.58±401.58) mL,P=0.000)],a significantly decrease of SAS score[(37.87±6.90) points vs.(44.07±12.32) points,P=0.000)] and SDS score[(38.32±6.65) points vs.(45.02±11.07) points,P=0.000)] at postoperative 6 months,and a significant increase of SF-36 score at postoperative 6 months [(77.52±7.28) points vs.(70.28±7.55) points,P=0.000)].Conclusion Postoperatively early stage-function-exercise can help to improve the shoulder joint activity degree and quality of life,and reduce the limb edema degree after modified radical mastectomy in the patients with breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia(iCBT-I) combined with estazolam for patients with chronic insomnia.Methods:Patients with chronic insomnia were randomly assigned to treatment group which were intervened with iCBFI combined with estazolam( n=46) and control group which were intervened with estazolam ( n=43) for 8 weeks according to random number table.Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) were used to measure the anxious state, anxious trait and sleep quality at three time points: before intervention(T1), after one month(T2) and two months(T3). Treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS), blood routine, urine routine, liver and renal function and electrocardiogram were used to measure the safety.The dosage of estazolam was compared between the two groups after two months.χ 2 test and repeated measurement analysis of variance were performed by SPSS 19.0. Results:The PSQI scores of control group and treatment group were (10.41±2.48) vs (9.98±2.96) at T2 and (9.97±2.13) vs (7.82±1.57) at T3.The state anxiety scores of control group and treatment group were (57.27±2.74) vs (56.27±2.89) at T2 and (45.67±2.62) vs (42.67±2.97) at T3.The data of T2 and T3 were statistically significant compared with those before intervention(all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the treatment group was better on treatment efficiency(86.96% vs 69.77%) at T3( P<0.05). PSQI score, subjective sleep quality, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, sleep drugs, daytime dysfunction, drug maintenance and adverse reaction were significantly different between the two groups at T3 ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy combined estazolam for insomnia can improve sleep quality, anxious state and trait for chronic insomnia patients.Good safety was improved, as well as reducing the need of drug.So it's worthy of clinic application.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of digestive system symptoms and its relation with the time of nucleic acid continuous positive in population infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron variant, and to analyze the abdominal computed tomography (CT) features of patients infected with Omicron variant.Methods:From April 11 to May 23, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted in patients infected with Omicron variant admitted to the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center Fangcang Hospital. The questionnaire included basic information, the start time of nucleic acid positive, respiratory symptoms, digestive system syptoms and outcomes, etc.Combined with the clinical data, the relation between digestive tract symptoms and the time of nucleic acid continuous positive were analyzed. Thoracic and abdominal CT were performed for patients with continuous positive nucleic acid results ≥10 d, and the relationship between the abdominal CT imaging characteristics and the time of nucleic acid continuous positive was analyzed. Independent sample t-test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 4 360 valid questionnaires were collected, including 2 475 males and 1 885 females, with a hospital stay of (6.8±4.9) d. Among the 4 360 patients, 1 979 patients (45.4%) had gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort or pain, constipation and diarrhea. The time of nucleic acid continuous positive in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms was (7.4±5.5) d, which was longer than that of patients without gastrointestinal symptoms (6.5±3.6) d, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.78, P<0.001). During the isolation period in the Fangcang Hospital, the time of nucleic acid continuous positive in patients with complete remission of digestive tract symptoms was shorter than that of patients with no remission of digestive tract symptoms ((7.3±5.2) d vs. (8.5±5.7) d), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.25, P=0.025). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the combination of gastrointestinal symptoms was an independent risk factor for continuous positive nucleic acid result ≥10 d ( OR=1.316, 95% confidence interval 1.294 to 2.205, P=0.046). Among the 299 patients with continuous positive nucleic acid results≥10 d, 187 cases (62.5%) had gastrointestinal symptoms, and 146 cases (48.8%) had abdominal CT findings of thickening of the gastroduodenal wall, thickening of the small intestinal wall, indistinct mesenteric vessels of the small intestine, and dilatation and pneumatosis of the colon. In patients with continuous positive nucleic acid results ≥10 d, abdominal CT indicated that patients with gastrointestinal imaging changes had a longer time of nucleic acid continuous positive than those without gastrointestinal imaging changes ((16.0±2.8) d vs. (13.0±2.1) d), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.62, P=0.009). Conclusions:Digestive system symptoms are common in patients infected with Omicron variant. The time of nucleic acid continuous positive in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms is longer than those without gastrointestinal symptoms. Some patients may have gastrointestinal lesions on abdominal CT.
