Objective To evaluate the capability of virtual non-contrast (VNC)of the second-generation dual-source CT (DSCT), and to display the adipose tissue of gastric serosa.Methods 48 patients with gastric cancer undergoing preoperative DSCT and sur-gery were enrolled.The true non-contrast (TNC)values and VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue were measured and compared with conventional non-contrast scanning and VNC of arterial phase and venous phase.The VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue were compared between serosal involvement group and non-serosal involvement group.Results There was statistical difference be-tween TNC values and VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue (P <0.05),the absolute differences were under 13 HU.The differ-ence of VNC values between serosal involvement group and non-serosal involvement group was significant (P <0.05).Conclusion VNC of the second-generation DSCT can clearly display the adipose tissue of gastric serosa.It has certain capability in judging sero-sal involvement.VNC has the proficiency to replace conventional non-contrast scanning.

OBJECTIVE:To study the current situation and developing trend of the antidiabetics used in Guangdong re?gion.METHODS:The antidiabetics used in44hospitals in Guangdong region during the period2000～2003were analysed concerning the kinds of drug,sum of money for consumption and frequency of drug use.RESULTS:The sum of money for consumption of antidiabetics increased year by year so did its proportion in sum of money for consumption of total drug.Among them,consumption of insulin increased very quickly and oral antidiabetics assumed a tendency of increase as well.CONCLUSI_ ON:The variety of insulin is stable and new oral antidiabetics is going into market occasionally in this region,but frequency of use is primary to sulfonylurea,biguanides and glycosidase-inhibitors.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for digestive tract mucosal lesions,and risk factor of complications.Methods The data of 154 consecutive patients who underwent ESD for superficial digestive tract mucosal lesions were analyzed prospectively for therapeutic effect and rate of complications.Risk factors for bleeding was analyzed.Results The enbloc resection rate in 145 completed ESD procedures was 100.0％.Histologically,complete resection rate was 99.3％.ESD was not completed in 9 patients due to bleeding ( n =5) and perforation ( n =4).Acute massive bleeding occurred in 6 patients (6/154,3.9％),mild bleeding in 5 (3.2％),delayed bleeding in l (0.6％ ),perforation in 4 (2.6％ ) and post-ESD stenosis in 1 (0.6％ ).All complications were cured.The post-ESD ulcer-healing was achieved in 100％ at 8 weeks after treatment.During follow-up of 10.6months( ranged from 8 to 18 months),no residual or local recurrence was found.Statistic analysis showed independent risk factors for bleeding in ESD were lesion location (cardiac fundus),and lesion size.Conclusion ESD is an effective and safe procedure in treatment of digestive tract mucosal lesions.The complications of ESD are preventable and curable.Strictly controlling operation indications,individualized treatment and the proficient operation skills of physicians are the keys to success.

Objective:To compare the effect of different methods of sputum aspiration in children with bronchopneumonia and explore the appropriate sputum aspiration methods for children with bronchopneumonia.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. The convenience sampling method was used to select 165 children with bronchopneumonia treated in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 8, 2020 to September 30, 2021 as the research objects. They were divided into group A, group B and group C by random number table method, with 55 cases in each group. Group A used sputum aspirating tube to aspirate sputum through mouth and nose, group B used olive head to aspirate sputum through nose, and group C used both sputum aspirating tube to aspirate sputum through mouth and olive head through nose. The sputum aspirating effect, respiratory mucosal injury rate and satisfaction degree of children′s parents were compared among the three groups.Results:Finally, there were 53 cases in group A, 54 cases in group B and 53 cases in group C. The total effective rate of sputum aspiration was 96.21%(584/607) in group C, which was higher than that in group A 94.32% (581/616) and in group B 74.12% (464/626), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=194.62, P<0.01), pairwise comparison among the three groups showed statistical difference ( χ2=95.95, 11.32, 132.16, all P<0.017). The respiratory mucosal injury rate was 1.12% (7/626) in group B, which was lower than that in group C 3.13% (19/607) and in group A 10.39% (64/616), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=63.53, P<0.01), pairwise comparison among the three groups showed statistical difference ( χ2=49.52, 25.47, 6.04, all P<0.017). The satisfaction degree of children′s parents in group C was 98.11% (52/53), which was higher than that in group B 90.74% (49/54) and in group A 81.13% (43/53), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.54, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction degree of children′s parents between group A and group B, and between group B and group C( P>0.017). There was statistically significant difference in the satisfaction degree of children′s parents between group A and group C ( χ2=8.22, P<0.017). Conclusions:The combination of oral suction tube and nasal suction with olive head can improve the sputum aspirating effect of children with bronchopneumonia and the satisfaction degree of their parents, with a low rate of respiratory mucosal injury and high safety, which is worthy of clinical reference.

Objective:To observe the effect of enriched rehabilitation on dual-task gait disorder after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and explore its mechanism.Methods:Sixty TIA patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, each of 30. Another 30 healthy counterparts were selected to form a healthy control group. All of the TIA patients were given routine medication to lower blood pressure and improve brain function, while the observation group was additionally provided with enriched rehabilitation training for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, the gait and cognitive functioning of all of the subjects were quantified and their event-related potentials (P300s) and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels were also measured.Results:Before the treatment there were significant differences between the TIA groups and healthy controls in all of the measurements, but there were no significant differences between the control and observation groups. After the treatment, no significant improvement was observed in any of the control group′s results, but there was significant improvement in the observation group′s gait parameters, cognitive functioning, average serum BDNF concentration and in the average latency and amplitude of its P300 signals.Conclusions:Enriched rehabilitation can improve the gait of TIA patients, perhaps through increasing their serum BDNF concentration and improving their cognition.

Standardized reporting is a crucial factor affecting the use of patient guidelines （PGs）， particularly in the reporting and presentation of recommendations. This paper introduced the current status of PG reporting， including the research on PG content and presentation formats， and provided comprehensive recommendations for PG reporting from aspects such as overall framework， recommendations， presentation format， and readability. First， the presentation of PG recommendations should include clearly defined clinical questions， recommendations and their rationale， and guidance on how patients should implement the interventions； for specific content in the PG， such as level of evidence， level of recommendation， it is recommended to explain in text the reasons for giving different levels of recommendation， i.e.， to present the logic behind giving the level of recommendation to the patient； additional information needed in the recommendation framework should be supplemented by tracing references or authoritative textbooks and literature that support the recommendations. Subsequently， the PG text should be written based on the Reporting Checklist for Public Versions of Guidelines （RIGHT-PVG） reporting framework. Finally， to enhance readability and comprehension， it is recommended to refer to the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool （PEMAT） for translating PG content. To enhance the readability of PGs， it is suggested to present the PG content in a persona-lized and layered manner.

Since the concept of patient versions of guidelines （PVGs） was introduced into China， several PVGs have been published in China， but we found that there is a big difference between the concept of PVG at home and abroad， and the reason for this difference has not been reasonably explained， which has led to ambiguity and even misapplication of the PVG concept by guideline developers. By analyzing the background and purpose of PVGs， and the understanding of the PVG concept by domestic scholars， we proposed the term patient guidelines （PGs）. This refers to guidelines developed under the principles of evidence-based medicine， centered on health issues that concern patients， and based on the best available evidence， intended for patient use. Except for the general attribute of providing information or education， which is typical of common health education materials， PGs also provide recommendations and assist in decision-making， so PGs include both the patient versions of guidelines （PVG） as defined by the Guidelines International Network （GIN） and "patient-directed guidelines"， i.e. clinical practice guidelines resulting from the adaptation or reformulation of recommendations through clinical practice guidelines.

At present， the process and methodology of patient guidelines （PGs） development varies greatly and lacks systematic and standardised guidance. In addition to the interviews with PG developers， we have sorted out the relevant methodology for the adaptation and development of existing clinical practice guideline recommendations and facilitated expert deliberations to achieve a consensus， so as to finally put forward a proposal for guidance on the process and methodology for the development of PGs. The development of PGs can be divided into the preparation stage， the construction stage， and the completion stage in general， but the specific steps vary according to the different modes of development of PGs. The development process of Model 1 is basically the same as the patient version of the guideline development process provided by the International Guidelines Network， i.e.， team formation， screening of recommendations， guideline drafing， user testing and feedback， approval and dissemination. The developer should also first determine the need for and scope of translating the clinical practice guideline into a patient version during the preparation phase. Model 2 adds user experience and feedback to the conventional clinical practice guideline development process （forming a team， determining the scope of the PG， searching， evaluating and integrating evidence， forming recommendations， writing the guideline， and expert review）. Based on the different models， we sort out the process and methods of PG development and introduce the specific methods of PG development， including how to identify the clinical problem and how to form recommendations based on the existing clinical practice guidelines， with a view to providing reference for guideline developers and related researchers.
