Objective:To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of low-dose chemotherapy in advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition, and to evaluate the related factors affecting the prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 118 advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition who were admitted to Xiamen Branch, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from March 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis in patients stratified by different factors, and log-rank was used to test. Multiple factor analysis of prognosis was performed by using Cox regression model. The association of clinicopathological factors with the prognosis was evaluated.Results:Among 118 patients, 16 (13.6%) cases were esophageal cancer, 41 (34.7%) cases were gastric cancer, 48 (40.7%) cases were colorectal cancer, 13 (11.0%) cases were pancreatic cancer. The overall survival (OS) rates of 6 months and 1-year were 44.1% and 10.2%, respectively. Survival analysis showed that patients with hemoglobin ≥100 g/L, serum albumin > 40 g/L and normal gastrointestinal function had better OS (all P < 0.05), while patients with physical status score of 3 scores and pain had worse OS (all P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that after adjusting age and gender, hemoglobin level ( HR = 0.314, 95% CI 0.241-0.977, P = 0.001), pain ( HR = 2.016, 95% CI 1.697-7.038, P = 0.008) and gastrointestinal function ( HR = 1.751, 95% CI 1.607-6.080, P = 0.036) were independent influencing factors of OS in advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition after receiving low-dose chemotherapy. Conclusions:Low-dose chemotherapy can still benefit advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients with weak physical condition. Hemoglobin level, pain and gastrointestinal function are independent prognostic factors for these patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between family cohesion and adaptation and work adaptation in postpartum nurses with second child. Methods There were 155 postpartum nurses with second child collected from 4 hospitals in Chengdu of Sichuan Province between October and December 2017, by convenience sampling. Family Adaptation and Cohesion Evaluation Scale Ⅱ and Questionnaire of Return Adaptation for Postpartum Nurse were used in the investigation. Results The family real cohesion, ideal cohesion and dissatisfaction of coherence were (66.95 ± 8.37), (71.68 ± 6.45), (7.87 ± 5.13) points in this study, which were higher than norms: (63.90 ± 8.00), (68.80 ± 5.30), (6.40 ± 5.00) points, and there were significant differences (t=-3.086,-4.079,-2.403, all P<0.05) . The family real adaptation was (48.86 ± 7.33) points, which was less than norms: (50.90 ± 6.20) points, and there was significant difference (t=2.514, P<0.05). The ideal adaptation had no significant difference with norms (P>0.05). The dissatisfaction of adaptation was (9.36±5.22) points, which was higher than norms: (7.40 ± 5.30) points, and there was significant difference (t=-3.076, P<0.05). There were 24 (15.5%) nurses in extreme type family, 54 (34.8%) in intermediate type and 77 (49.7%) in balance type. The average score of work adaptation was (2.41 ± 0.76) points. The scores of work adaptation in nurses of extreme type family were lowest. Time since working, dissatisfaction of adaptation, dissatisfaction of coherence and hospital level were the influencing factors of work adaptation. Conclusions Nursing managers should face up to the situation of work adaptation in postpartum nurses, humanize their management, pay attention to the emotional state, promptly dispel their bad negative emotions, take measurements to improve the understanding of nurses'families and help them pass the adaptation period of returning to work.

Wound infections, secondary to acute and chronic wounds caused by mechanical, thermal, chemical factors, etc, not only delay wound healing but also may lead to mortality. The prolonged or inappropriate use of antibiotics lead to the growth of drug-resistant bacteria, resulting in refractory wound infections and poor treatment outcomes, which highlights the urgent need for effective therapies. Bacteriophages show great promise in treating drug-resistant wound infections due to their effectiveness in killing drug-resistant bacteria, their good resistance against bacterial biofilm (BBF) and their absence of cytotoxicity to eukaryotic cells. However, the mechanisms underlying bacteriophages′ resistance against BBF remain incompletely understood and their antibacterial efficacy for wound infections may also vary. For this purpose, the authors reviewed the biological characteristics and mechanisms of bacteriophages and their application in antibacterial therapies for wound infections, aiming to provide a reference for further research and application of bacteriophages in the treatment of wound infections.
