Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) has become internationally widespread in various healthcare settings (hospital, clinics ,homecare, et al), mainly used for administration of chemotherapy drugs, hypertonic parenteral nutrition solution and infusion therapy in two extreme age patients (neonates, especially in premature infants;elderly), which provides necessary vascular access for medium to longer term transfusion therapy. The risks of complications related with PICC are still existed, and PICC site with impaired skin integrity is prevalent, but described by only paucity of literature. International evidence-based guidelines provide little strategy. Our study was to review PICC site with skin injury in order to better understand the etiology, evolution and familiar with the international nursing dynamics, and identify directions for future research in this field, promote to overcome the nursing conundrum, and provide a basis for construction of guidelines for the skin management of PICC.

Objective:
To examine the application of arm circumference to evaluating the nutritional risk among cancer patients, so as to provide insights into nutritional risk screening among cancer patients.
Methods:
Totally 332 cancer patients hospitalized in the Department of Oncology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2020 to March 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Subjects'demographic data and disease history were collected, and the height, body weight, arm circumference and serum nutritional indicators were measured. The indicators related to nutritional risk were identified by logistic regression models. The value of arm circumference in assessment of nutritional risk was examined among cancer patients using the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve analysis, and the Nutritional Risk Screening ( NRS 2002 ) scores were used as the gold standard.
Results:
The subjects included 188 males ( 56.63% ) and 144 females ( 43.37% ), and had a mean age of ( 51.62±12.31 ) years. The detection rate of nutritional risk was 36.75% among the subjects according to NRS 2002, with 29.78% in males and 45.83% in females. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified arm circumference as an independent factor affecting the nutritional risk among cancer patients ( P<0.05 ). The area under the ROC curve, cut-off, sensitivity and specificity of arm circumference in predicting nutritional risk were 0.857 ( 95%CI: 0.795-0.918, P<0.001 ), 24.4 cm, 83.3% and 78.6% among male cancer patients, and 0.727 ( 95%CI: 0.643-0.810, P<0.001 ), 23.9 cm, 78.2% and 57.6% among female cancer patients, respectively.
Conclusions
Arm circumference is feasible for screening nutritional risk among cancer patients. The cut-off value of nutritional risk was determined by arm circumference less than 24.4 cm in men and less than 23.9 cm in women with good accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the impact of polysomy 17 of breast cancer on testing results of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and its clinicopathologic significance. Methods:Seventy-one patients with primary invasive breast carcinoma were studied. The HER2 gene and chromosome 17 copy numbers were determined by dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The testing results were expressed by absolute HER2 gene copy number or the ratio of HER2 to chromosome 17. Based on the FISH testing results and HER2 protein expression determined by immunohistochemistry the results were compared between different groups divided by related clinicopathologic parameters.Results:All patients who had doubtable FISH results, either by absolute HER2 copy number (14 of 71 patients; 19.7%) or by the ratio HER2/chromosome 17 (2 of 71 patients, 2.8%), displayed polysomy 17. Polysomy 17-positive patients had no significant difference with HER2-negative patients in tumor grade, lymph node metastasis, and estrogen receptor (ER) expression (all P>0.05); but compared with HER2-positive patients, they showed lower tumor grade (50.0% vs 81.5%, P=0.025), higher rate of negative lymph node (55.6% vs 25.9%, P=0.045), and higher rate of ER positive expression (83.3% vs 41.7%, P=0.005) and progesterone receptor(PR)positive expression (87.5% vs 44.4%, P=0.003).Conclusion:Compared with HER2 gene amplification group, polysomy 17-positive group tends to have negative HER2 gene expression. Polysomy 17 influences the testing results of HER2 and may be the main factor that caused doubtable results in FISH examination.

Objective To investigate the effects of sensorimotor therapy on patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods Ninety-two patients with knee osteoarthritis were divided into a treatment group and a control group by using random digits table. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy, including knee isometric and isotonic contraction training, ultrashort wave diathermy as well as aerobic exercise. The treatment group was also administered with sensorimotor training, in addition to the conventional training,including the muscle strengthening and control training of quadriceps and hamstring muscle using sling exercise therapy system and on the Thera-band mattress. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, manual muscle testing and knee range of motion as well as the Japanese Orthopedic Association knee function evaluation form were used to evaluate the patients. Results There was no statistic difference between the 2 groups before treatment, with regard to the evaluation parameters used in this study. After 2 months of treatment, both groups improved significantly (P <0.05),with the treatment group improved to a significantly greater extent (P <0.05). Conclusions Sensorimotor training in addition to the conventional rehabilitation treatment can further relieve the pain of patients with knee osteoarthritis joints arthritis and improve the function of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
