OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of tanshinone combined with limbal stem cells transplantation in the treatment of pterygium. METHODS:Totally 97 cases (118 eyes) of primary pterygium admitted into our hospital during Feb. 2010-Sept. 2014 were analyzed retrospectively,and divided into observation group (48 cases,57 eyes) and control group (49 cases,61 eyes). Both groups received autologous limbal stem cell transplantation. The control began to give Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drops 1-2 drop 1 week before surgery,every 4-6 h one times. Observation group was given Tanshinone cap-sules 0.5 g,po,tid,one week before surgery,for 3 months. Repair time of corneal epithelium and local symptom regression time were compared between 2 groups. Corneal astigmatism and corrected visual acuity were observed in 2 groups before and 1,3 months after surgery. The occurrence of recurrence and ADR was analyzed statistically in 2 groups. RESULTS:The repairing time of corneal pithelial and local symptom regression time in observation group were significantly shorter than control group,with statis-tical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in corneal astigmatism and corrected visual acuity between 2 groups before and one month after surgery (P>0.05). 1,3 months after surgery,corneal astigmatism of 2 groups was decreased significantly and corrected visual acuity was increased significantly than before surgery,and 3 months after surgery the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of observation group was 3.51%,which was significantly lower than 14.75% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Tanshinone combined with autol-ogous limbal stem cell transplantation in the treatment of pterygium can shorten the time of corneal epithelial repair and local symp-toms,restore the visual function of patients and reduce recurrence rate with good safety.

Objective? To explore the quality of life in patients with cognitive disorder and to discuss its influencing factors so as to provide a reference for improving the quality of life in patients with cognitive disorder. Methods? Totally 1 398 neurological patients from a neuropsychiatric hospital in Nanjing were screened using cluster sampling and 125 patients with cognitive disorder were selected as subjects between January and December 2017. The subjects received a cross-sectional study with Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADL), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the general information questionnaire. Variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results? The morbidity of cognitive disorder in neurological patients from our hospital was 9.3%. Their QOL-AD score was (31.88±6.54). Sex, educational background, nature of work, household income, sleep and bad social relations are factors affecting the quality of life of the subjects (P<0.05). According to multivariate linear regression analysis, MoCA, SAS and SDS were main factors affecting the quality of life of the subjects (P<0.05). Conclusions? Male patients with lower education, physical work and bad social relations are high-risk patients with lower quality of life. Cognitive disorder, anxiety and depression are main risk factors affecting the quality of life in patients with cognitive disorder. Nursing workers should improve and maintain the patients'cognitive ability, enrich their cultural life and social activities, and enhance their mental health, thereby improving their quality of life.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for depression in patients with cognitive impairment and construct a prediction model to preliminarily validate the predictive performance of the model, aiming to provide medical and nursing staff with a screening tool for high-risk groups.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 1 130 patients with cognitive impairment admitted to the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University as the research subject. The research subjects were divided into a modeling group ( n=791) and a validation group ( n=339) at a ratio of 7∶3. The influencing factors of depression in patients with cognitive impairment were determined using binomial Logistic regression and a risk prediction model was established. The predictive performance of the prediction model was tested using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:The incidence of depression in 1 130 patients with cognitive impairment was 51.3% (580/1 130). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors for depression in patients included age, Activities of Daily Living Scale score, Hamilton Anxiety Scale score, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, and Lewy Body Composite Risk score ( P<0.05). In the modeling group, the area under the ROC curve was 0.921, the Youden index was 0.716, the sensitivity was 0.834, the specificity was 0.882, and the prediction accuracy was 0.858. In the validation group, the area under the ROC curve was 0.896, the Youden index was 0.651, the sensitivity was 0.824, the specificity was 0.827, and the prediction accuracy was 0.825. Conclusions:The depression risk prediction model can effectively predict the risk of depression in patients with cognitive impairment, and can provide a screening tool for high-risk groups for medical and nursing staff.

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world, which is classically subgrouped into two major histological types: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (85% of patients) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) (15%). Tumor location has been reported to be associated with the prognosis of various solid tumors. Several types of cancer often occur in a specific region and are more prone to spread to predilection locations, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, lung tumor, and so on. Besides, tumor location is also considered as a risk factor for lung neoplasm with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/emphysema. Additionally, the primary lung cancer location is associated with specific lymph node metastasis. And the recent analysis has shown that the primary location may affect metastasis pattern in metastatic NSCLC based on a large population. Numerous studies have enrolled the "location" factor in the risk model. Anatomy location and lobe-specific location are both important in prognosis. Therefore, it is important for us to clarify the characteristics about tumor location according to various definitions. However, the inconsistent definitions about tumor location among different articles are controversial. It is also a significant guidance in multimode therapy in the present time. In this review, we mainly aim to provide a new insight about tumor location, including anatomy, clinicopathology, and prognosis in patients with lung neoplasm.
