[Objective] To investigate the clinical value of using prospective ECG-gating Helical protocol in whole aorta and coronary arteries CT angiography combined with low tube voltage,low contrast medium injection rate and dose technology.[Methods]A total of 60 patients (heart rate≤ 75 bpm and normal heart rhythm) with suspected aortic disease or post-operation were randomly divided into 2 groups:G1 (n =30;tube voltage:80 kV;contrast medium injection rate:3 mL/s;contrast medium dose:0.65 mL/kg)and G2 (n =30;tube voltage:120 kV;contrast medium injection rate:4 mL/s;contrast medium dose:1.2 mL/kg).The two groups underwent aorta angiography with prospective ECG-gating Helical protocol by using 320-detector CT.The mean CT values and standard deviation of aorta,coronaries and adjacent adipose tissue were measured,signal to noise ratio (signal-to-noise ratio,SNR)and contrast to noise ratio (contrast-to-noise ratio,CNR) were calculated.The subjective quality scoring of 3-d post-processing images were evaluated independently by 2 senior radiologists.The mean CT values and standard deviation of aorta,coronaries and adipose tissue,SNR,CNR,subjective quality scoring,contrast medium dose and radiation dose were compared and analyzed.[Results] The abnormal and normal rate of aorta in two groups were 83.33％ (25/30),16.67％ (5/30) and 86.67％ (26/30),13.33％(4/30);while the abnormal and normal rate of coronary arteries in two groups were 43.33％ (13/30),56.67％ (17/30) and 53.33％(16/30),46.67％ (14/30).SNR values of ascending aorta,descending aorta,abdominal aorta,superior mesenteric artery,bilateral renal artery,left main coronary artery,left anterior descending branch,left circumflex branch,right coronary artery and CNR values of abdominal aorta,superior mesenteric artery,bilateral renal artery,left anterior descending branch,left circumflex branch had no statistical significance,while the other indicators were significant differences between the two groups.The radiation dose and the contrast medium dose of G1 was significantly lower than G2 (P ＜ 0.05).There was no difference in the subjective image quality of 3D post-processing images between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).[Conclusions] Using prospective ECG-gating Helical protocol in whole aorta and coronary arteries CT angiography combined with low tube voltage,low contrast medium injection rate and low contrast medium dose technology can help to reduce radiation and contrast medium dose without impacting on the imaging quality satisfactorily.

Objective To investigate the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on left ventricular systolic function evaluated by velocity vector imaging (VVI) in refractory heart failure patients and the predictive value of VVI on CRT responses.Methods This study included 38 patients with medically refractory heart failure (HF) patients underwent CRT in our department from May 2007 to April 2011.Left ventricular long axis dyssynchrony indexes including time to peak of systolic velocity (Ts max-min),standard deviation of the time to peak of systolic velocity (Ts-SD) before and at 3-6 months post CRT.CRT response was defined as 15％ decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume.ROC curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were calculated.Results Twenty-four patients were defined as responder.No significant difference was observed between responders and non-responders in medical therapy.When using Ts max-min to predict response,the AUC of ROC curves was 0.76 ± 0.07.The sensitivity and specifity was 70.8％ and 77.8％ respectively with Ts max-min≥124.0 ms.When using Ts-SD to predict response,the AUC of ROC curves was 0.82 ±0.07.The sensitivity and specifity was 79.2％ and 71.2％ respectively with Ts-SD≥40.5.Conclusion Ts-SD is a useful index to predict CRT response in refractory HF patients.

Objective To explore the role of electrocardiogram (ECG) in predicting cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed ECG of 92 CRT patients,who received CRT therapy from 2001 to 2013 in our center and were followed up for 6 months.The patients were divided into responder group (n =64) and non-responder group (n =28).The baseline and 6-month data including QRS width,heart rhythm and axis variation were analyzed.The definition of responder is left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) reduction ≥ 15％ within 6 months after CRT.After CRT therapy,the ventricular activation was changed as left to right (frontal plane),posterior to anterior and axis changed in a clockwise direction.The change in more than two directions was defined as prominent axis change.Logistic analysis was performed to analyze the role of ECG in predicting CRT response.Results (1) Baseline parameter comparison between the two groups:the proportion of female and LBBB is significantly higher (P ＜ 0.01;P =0.04),while the proportion of atrial fibrillation/flutter (Af/AF) is significantly lower (P ＜ 0.01) in responder group than in non-responder group.The pre-CRT average QRS duration is much wider in responder group than in non-responder group (P =0.01).(2) Comparison of follow-up with baseline results in two groups:NYHA heart function level,6 minutes walking distance,QRS duration,LVEF,LVESV improved significantly (P ＜0.01) post-CRT in responder group.In non-responder group,the QRS duration and LVESV deteriorated significantly (P =0.02,P ＜ 0.01),while post-CRT NYHA heart function level improved significantly.In responder group,pre-CRT ECG axis of 53 patients (82.8％) pointed to left and 58 patients (90.6％) pointed to posterior;post-CRT ECG axis of 49 patients (76.6％) pointed to right and 30 patients (40.6％) pointed to anterior.In non-responder group,pre-CRT ECG axis of 25 patients (89.3％) pointed to left and 24 patients (85.7％) pointed to posterior;post-CRT ECG axis of 17 patients (60.7％) pointed to right and 12 patients (42.9％) pointed to anterior.Post-CRT,the proportion of ECG axis prominent change was significantly higher in responder than in non-responder group (62.5％ (40/64) vs.32.1％ (9/28),P =0.007).(3) Predicting value:pre-CRT QRS width ≥140 ms (OR =4.97,95 ％ CI 1.53 to 16.13,P =0.008) and post-CRT prominent axis change (OR =5.1,95 ％CI 1.67 to 15.5,P =0.004) were found to be independent predictors of CRT responders.Af/AF pre-CRT was associated with reduced CRT response (OR =0.25,95 ％ CI0.08 to 0.80,P =0.02).Conclusions ECG may play a role in predicting CRT response.QRS width and Af/AF before CRT and ECG axis change post-CRT could be used to predict CRT response.

Objective:To explore the current status of humanistic care ability among oncology nurses, analyze the latent profiles of humanistic care ability and the influencing factors of different profiles.Methods:From December 2022 to March 2023, 836 oncology nurses from 10 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Shandong Province were selected as the subject using convenience sampling. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Caring Ability Inventory, Professional Identity Scale, and Perceived Organizational Support Scale. Latent profile analysis was conducted using three observable indicators of humanistic care ability, and the influencing factors of different latent profiles of humanistic care ability were analyzed through single factor analysis and unordered multiclass Logistic regression.Results:The overall humanistic care ability of oncology nurses was lower than the international norm level. Through the latent profile analysis, there were three latent profiles, namely the care ability risk group, care ability potential group, and care ability advantage group. The care ability advantage group reached a moderate international norm level in terms of care ability, and its influencing factors included gender, being an only child, professional identity, and perceive organizational support, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is significant heterogeneity in the humanistic care ability of oncology nurses, and the latent profile is more accurate in analyzing humanistic care ability compared to overall differentiation. Nursing managers can provide personalized interventions based on different latent profile characteristics and influencing factors, so as to achieve balanced and homogeneous development of the overall care ability of oncology nurses.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of recurrence risk perception in ischemic stroke patients and their relationship with health behaviors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 312 patients with ischemic stroke from two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals of Guangzhou from December 2022 to June 2023 as the research subject. Before discharge, the General Information Questionnaire, Recurrence Risk Perception Scale for Patients with Stroke, and Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients were used for investigation. One month later, the Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients was used for follow-up. Latent class analysis and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the latent classes of recurrence risk perception and their influencing factors, while multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between latent classes of recurrence risk perception and health behavior at 1-month follow-up.Results:A total of 312 questionnaires were distributed, and 302 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.79%. One month later, 261 study subjects completed follow-up. The recurrence risk perception in ischemic stroke patients were divided into four classes of overall low perceived accuracy, light consequence-heavy disease-moderate perceived accuracy, heavy self-care-light diet-upper moderate perceived accuracy, and overall high perceived accuracy. Age, educational level, place of residence and monthly average income were influencing factors for different latent classes ( P<0.05). Compared with patients with overall low perceived accuracy, patients with heavy self-care-light diet-upper moderate perceived accuracy, as well as those with overall high perceived accuracy, showed better health behavior after discharge, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Medical and nursing staff should provide targeted nursing interventions based on the common characteristics and individual differences of different classes of patients, helping patients correctly perceive the recurrence risk, improve health behavior, and prevent stroke recurrence.
