Objective To investigate the effect of reinforced Decoction of Angelicae Sinensis for enriching blood (RDAEB) on the immunity of immunosuppressed mice induced by cyclophosphamide (Cy). Methods Mice were given RDAEB through stomach perfusion for 10 d(50 mg/d). Then, RBC-C3bR rate,RBC-IC rate( as the indexes of erythrocyte immunity)and E-rosette forming rate,acidic α-naphthyl acetate esterase positive rate, lymphocyte transformation rate (as the indexes of cellular immunity) of mice were tested.Results RBC-C3Br rate, RBC-IC rate,E-rosette forming rate, acidic α-naphthyl acetate esterase positive rate and lymphocyte transformation rate in the Cy-RDAEB group were markedly higher than those in the Cy group (P＜0. 01 ),and returned to the levels of normal group. Conclusion RDAEB is effective in recovering and enhancing cellular and erythrocyte immunity of immunosuppressed mice.

Objective: To understand the prevalence and its influencing factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) among employees in petrochemical enterprises, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control of MS among employees in petrochemical enterprises. Methods: The employees in petrochemical enterprises who underwent health examinations at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the survey subjects. Demographic information, lifestyle behaviors and occupational exposure were collected using questionnaires, and the blood biochemical indicators were measured through laboratory testing. Factors affecting MS were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 2 479 individuals were included, with a mean age of (44.84±7.87) years. There were 1 684 males (67.93%) and 795 females (32.07%). There were 905 cases of MS, with a detection rate of 36.51%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender (male, OR=2.246, 95%CI: 1.353-3.728), age (≥40 years, OR=3.523, 95%CI: 2.003-6.194), noise exposure (OR=1.894, 95%CI: 1.272-2.821), smoking index (>0~200 cigarette-years, OR=1.907, 95%CI: 1.155-3.149; >200 cigarette-years, OR=2.257, 95%CI: 1.320-3.859), hyperuricemia (OR=3.013, 95%CI: 1.852-4.900) and γ-glutamyltransferase (abnormal, OR=2.691, 95%CI: 1.589-4.559) were the influencing factors of MS among employees in petrochemical enterprises. Conclusion The risk of MS occurrence among employees in petrochemical enterprises is related to gender, age, noise exposure, smoking index, hyperuricemia and γ-glutamyltransferase level.

And the clinical application of this best evidence standardizes the clinical nurses oxygen nursing behavior, reduces the nursing cost and enhances the quality of clinical nursing.

Objective: To examine the effects of obesity and central obesity on hypertension, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control measures of hypertension. Methods: From September to December 2018, residents at ages of 35 to 75 years were sampled using the multi-stage random sampling method in Baiyin District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, and subjected to questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. The interaction between obesity/central obesity and hypertension was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. The synergy index ( SI ), relative excess risk due to interaction ( RERI ) and attributable proportion due to interaction ( AP ) were calculated using Excel compiled by Andersson et al. Results: A total of 6 246 questionnaires were allocated and 6 169 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.77%. The respondents included 3 038 men ( 49.25% ) and 3 131 women (50.75%), with a mean age of ( 52.05±8.78 ) years. There were 832 respondents with obesity ( 13.49% ) and 2 278 with central obesity ( 36.93% ). The crude and standardized prevalence rates of hypertension were 35.89% and 33.05%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that obesity ( OR=2.020, 95%CI: 1.705-2.393 ) and central obesity ( OR=1.622, 95%CI: 1.433-1.836 ) were statistically associated with hypertension. There was no multiplicative interaction between obesity or central obesity and hypertension ( OR=1.011, 95%CI: 0.655-1.560 ), and no additive interaction was detected between obesity or central obesityand hypertension ( SI=1.405, 95%CI: 0.815-2.424; RERI=0.658, 95%CI: -0.298 to 1.614; AP=0.201, 95%CI: -0.075 to 0.476 ). Conclusions Obesity and central obesity increase the risk of hypertension; however, no interaction is detected between obesity or central obesity and hypertension.

Objective To analyze safety,effectiveness and prognosis of thyroidectomy in elderly patients with thyroid carcinoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 142 elderly patients undergoing thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma in our hospital from October 2010 to March 2012.Clinical data of surgical treatment and postoperative pathogenetic conditions,including the incidence rate of operation complications,the rate of local relapse and distant metastasis,were analyzed.And the influencing factors on prognosis were also analyzed.Results Thyroidectomies for thyroid carcinoma were successfully completed in all patients.There were a total of 13 cases with postoperative complications,yielding a total complication rate of 9.15 ％,including an incision infection in 6 patients,hoarseness in 1 patient,and hypocalcemia in 6 patients.During median follow-up of 51 months,there were 12 patients dead,16 patients relapsing,and 6 patients with local and distant metastasis.Univariate analysis showed that age,lymph node metastasis,and clinical stage may affect the prognosis of elderly patients with thyroid cancer.Multivariate Cox Logistical analysis indicated that age,lymph node metastasis,and clinical stage were independent factors associated with the prognosis of elderly patients with thyroid carcinoma.Conclusions Age,lymph node metastasis,and clinical stage are independent factors for prognosis of elderly patients with thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the changes of hypoxic conditions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients before and after radiotherapy and assess the value of 18F-fluoromisonidzaole (FMISO)PET/CT for radiotherapy efficacy evaluation.Methods A total of 21 NSCLC patients (15 males,6 females,age 30-74 years) from January 2014 to October 2016 were prospectively enrolled.18F-FMISO PET/CT was performed before and after radiotherapy,and all patients underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)PET/CT before radiotherapy.Routine chest CT was performed at the 3rd and 6th month after radiotherapy.The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of tumor and muscle,tumor volume and hypoxic volume (HV) were measured.Tumor-to-muscle (T/M) value of 18F-FMISO was calculated,and T/M ≥ 1.3 was considered as the hypoxia cut-off value.Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation,paired t test,signed rank sum test and Wilcoxon rank sum test.Results Totally 81.0％(17/21) of NSCLC patients had hypoxia.There were significant positive correlations between 18F-FMISO T/M value and tumor volume or 18F-FDG SUVmax(r:0.72,0.60,both P＜0.05).The T/M value after radiotherapy was significantly lower than that before radiotherapy (1.42± 1.12 vs 2.08±0.71;t =3.62,P＜0.05),and median HV was also significantly lower than that before radiotherapy (6.53 vs 12.41 cm3;z =-3.83,P＜0.05).The median T/M values of effective group (n =14) and ineffective group (n =7) before radiotherapy were significantly different (2.14 vs 2.87;z=-2.27,P＜0.05),and the median HV of 2 groups before radiotherapy was also significantly different (6.43 vs 10.20 cm3;z=-2.14,P＜0.05).Conclusions Most NSCLC patients have hypoxia before radiotherapy.The larger tumor volume,the higher degree of hypoxia.Radiotherapy can alleviate the hypoxia of tumors.18F-FMISO PET/CT imaging before radiotherapy can be used to predict the efficacy of patients with NSCLC.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of surgical resection combined with 131Ⅰ therapy in the treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC)in the elderly. Methods:From January 2010 to December 2015, 168 elderly patients with DTC admitted to the general surgery department of our hospital were divided into the combined treatment group(n=97)and the surgery group(n=71). During the same period, 68 young and middle-aged patients with DTC were enrolled as the control group.The combined treatment and control groups were treated with total or subtotal thyroidectomy combined with 131Ⅰ therapy, while the surgery group received surgical resection only.An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to monitor the thyroglobulin(Tg)level of patients in the three groups before and 1 week after treatment and 1, 3, 6 months after treatment, and adverse reactions and clinical efficacy grading within 6 months after treatment were evaluated.Tumor recurrence and metastasis and patient survival in the three groups were followed up for 5 years. Results:After 1 month of treatment, serum Tg levels showed significant differences between the three groups( F=15.329, P=0.011), and Tg levels were lower in the control group than in the combined treatment and surgery groups[(30.47±6.97) μg/L vs.(47.13±7.34) μg/L, (46.12±6.55) μg/L, t=3.462 and 4.791, P=0.017 and 0.023)]. After 3 and 6 months of treatment, serum Tg levels still had significant differences between the three groups( F=22.641 and 34.182, P=0.000 and 0.000), and Tg levels were lower in the combined treatment and control groups than in the surgery group[(28.27±10.16) μg/L, (41.82±9.83) μg/L vs.(13.17±2.69), t=3.164 and 4.649, P=0.012 and 0.005; (11.16±5.43) μg/L, (28.67±9.19) μg/L vs.(1.45±0.28) μg/L, t=4.251 and 7.283, P=0.009 and 0.000)], and the control group had lower Tg levels than the combined treatment group( t=2.184 and 4.537, P=0.011 and 0.000). After 6 months of treatment, the incidences of myelosuppression(21.6%, 0.0% vs.11.8%, χ2=17.851, P=0.000)and gastrointestinal reaction(37.1%, 11.3% vs.27.9%, χ2=14.070, P=0.001)were higher in the combined treatment group than in the surgery and control groups.The control group had a higher rate of effectiveness than the other two groups(73.5% vs.62.9%, 31.0%, χ2=8.796 and 33.834, P=0.032 and 0.000)and the combined treatment group had a higher effectiveness rate than the surgery group, (62.9% vs.31.0%, χ2=18.825, P=0.000). During the follow-up, the tumor recurrence-free time and the survival time were better in the control group than in the other two groups( Log Rankχ2=30.335 and 20.628, P=0.000 and 0.000). Conclusions:Surgical resection combined with 131Ⅰ therapy can reduce local progression, recurrence and metastasis of DTC, but its clinical effectiveness is worse in elderly patients than in young and middle-aged patients.

AIM: To understand the screening and correction of myopia in children and adolescents from the Gannan region of Gansu Province, and to provide guidance for the prevention and control of myopia.METHODS: A cross-sectional stratified cluster sampling study was conducted to select 2 kindergartens and 12 primary and secondary schools in Hezuo City and Zhouqu County, Gannan region of Gansu Province, two classes were randomly selected from each grade, and the whole class was used as a unit for screening. The screening and correction of myopia in children and adolescents were collected for statistical analysis.RESULTS: A total of 5 072 children and adolescents were selected, and 4 806 valid data were finally included after excluding unqualified records. The overall prevalence of myopia was 45.55%, and the prevalence of myopia showed an increasing trend with the increase of grade(P<0.001). The prevalence of myopia in girls(48.66%)was higher than that in boys(42.18%; P<0.001). The prevalence of myopia increased with age(P<0.001), and the age group of 10-12 years old was the fastest growing for myopia, increasing from 25.62% to 60.57%. Furthermore, moderate myopia and high myopia showed an increasing tread with the increase of the grade(all P<0.001). The overall glasses wearing rate of the Gannan region was 28.55%, with a full correction rate of 50.72%, and the glasses wearing rate showed an increasing trend with the increase of grades(P<0.001). The glasses wearing rate of female students(30.84%)was higher than that of male students(26.69%; P=0.008). The full correction rates of low, moderate and high myopia in junior high were the lowest among the 3 phases of studying. The full correction rate of high myopia was the lowest in all phases of studying.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of myopia in children and adolescents from the Gannan region is lower than the national average, but the myopia of children and adolescents is still a trend of young age and high incidence, and the glasses wearing rate of myopia and full correction rate are low.
