Objective To investigate the effect of placing subcutaneous drain tube and preseting triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 suture with delayed suturing to incision infection after typeⅢabdominal surgery. Methords Dividing 504 patients with typeⅢincisions undergone abdominal surgery into 3 groups. The number of group A patients with thoroughly incision washing and primary triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 suture after abdominal surgery was 143. The number of group B with closed anterior rectus sheath, opened skin and subcutaneous fat with preseted triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 suture was 190. The number of group C with subcutaneous drain tube after abdominal surgery was 171. We compared the incidence rates of incision infection and the second phase debridement suture rates among the 3 groups. Results For the group A, B, C, the number of incision infection people was 11, 4, 3 and the incision infection rate was 7.69%, 2.11%and 1.75%respectively. The difference of the 3 groups incision infection rate were statistically significant (P<0.05). The incision infection rate of the group B and group C were lower than that of group A and the difference were statistically significant (P<0.016 7). There were no significant differences in second phase debridement suture rates among the 3 groups. Conclusion Preseting triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 suture with delayed incision sutue and placing subcutaneous drain tube can decrease the incision infection rates for type Ⅲpatients after abdominal surgery, but can not decrease the second phase debridement suture rates of the infectious incision.

ObjectiveTo examine the clinical utility of four methods in diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.Methods A total of 60 patients with tuberculous meningitis were included as study group and another 70 patients with non-tuberculous intracranial infection as control group. Four methods, including conventional acid fast stain,Myobacterium tuberculous culture in BACTEC MGIT 960, real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) and modiifed acid fast stain, were used to assay the cerebrospinal lfuid specimens for diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.ResultsThe positive rate was 11.7% (7/60), 6.7% (4/60), 48.3% (29/60), and 61.7% (37/60), respectively in the study group as tested by the four methods. There was signiifcant difference between the four methods in the positive rate (P< 0.05). Modiifed acid fast stain was more sensitive than the other 3 methods in identifying tuberculous meningitis (P< 0.05). This method also could identify the intracellularM. tuberculosis. All the 8 samples from the 4 patients who were positive for culture ofM. tuberculosis were positive in the modiifed acid fast stain.Conclusions The modiifed acid fast staining method is simple, fast, signiifcantly more senstive in detection of the acid fastM. tuberculosis in CSF, either extracellular or intracellular. It is worthwhile to further investigate its usefulness in early diagnosis of tuberculosis meningitis.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with synchronous or metachronous liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. Methods Clinical data of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis from 1994 to 2006 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University was retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and long-rank test were used for bivariate comparisons. Multivariate analysis was done by the Cox regression model (Backward Wald). Results A total of 486 patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis, including 191 synchronous and 295 metachronous liver metastasis, were analyzed. The overall 5-year cumulative survival rate was 16.2%, 9. 3% forsynchronous and 21.5% for metachronous liver metastasis respectively ( P < 0. 01 ). Liver metastasis was surgically resected in 267 patients, 151 received radiofrequency ablation and 68 underwent conservative therapy with 5-year cumulative survival rates of 22. 1%, 10. 3% and 0 ( P < 0. 01 ) respectively. On univariate analysis, poor prognosis was associated with older age, synchronous metastasis, higher serum CEA level, advanced N stage and poor differentiation of the primary tumor, bowel obstruction, ascites, tumor longitudinal length over 8cm, non-surgery therapy. Multivariate analysis indicated that synchronous metastasis, serum CEA level, ascites and therapy method were independent prognosis factors. Conclusions The time at which a metastasis occur, serum CEA level,ascites and curative surgical therapy determine the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Surgical resection of metastasis in selected patients could prolong survival.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the immunity changes of patients after CIK cells being transfused back, and then to discuss the effects of CIK cells on curing laryngeal cancers.
METHOD:
Forty eight laryngeal cancer patients with low immune function were collected. The immunity index in the peripheral blood of patients before/after radiotherapy and after CIK cells therapy were measured and compared with normal one.
RESULT:
After radiotherapy, the percentage of CD3+, CD4+ cells declined, the percentage of CD8+ cells increased; the rate of CD4+ /CD8+ declined and the rate of Th1/Th2 reversed. There were no significant difference between the immunity indexes before and after radiotherapy (P < 0.05). After CIK cell therapy, the above indexes were improved (P < 0.05), but the values didn't returned to normal. After radiotherapy and after CIK therapy, the value of B cell didn't changed obviously (P > 0.05), while the percentage of NK cells changed obviously (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Radiotherapy can restrain the immune function of the patients with laryngeal cancers. CIK therapy is safe and might improve the recent immune function of the patients.

Objective To explore the clinical symptom clusters in breast cancer patients with anthracycline treatment, which could provide evidence for prevention. Methods The M.D.Anderson Symptom Inventory of Chinese version (MDASI-C) was applied to assess clinical symptoms in 506 breast cancer patients received anthracycline therapy during their 1stto 4thcycle chemotherapy.Thirteen symptoms were analyzed using main-component analysis and variance orthogonal rotation. The exploratory factor analysis was conducted to find factors value greater than 1. Results The number of symptoms with incidence rate more than 50% was 5, 6, 7 and 9 during the 1stto the 4thcycle, respectively. Fatigue, poor appetite, and nausea were the most common symptoms, and the incidence of these symptoms were 92.5% to 97.1% ,84.8% to 95.1% and 81.1% to 91.3% with the increasing cycle of chemotherapy.Three factors value greater than 1 were detected during the 1stto 2ndcycle chemotherapy by exploratory factor analysis.The cumulative variance contribution rates were 63.233% and 61.434% in the 1stand 2ndcycle, respectively. The main symptom clusters concentrate on fatigue and digestive tract symptoms, including fatigue, sleep disturbance, hypersomnia, nausea, vomit, poor appetite, dry mouth. Two factors value greater than 1 were detected during 3rdto4thcycle in chemotherapy. The cumulative variance contribution rates were 62.660% and 61.148% in the 3rdand 4thcycle, respectively. The main symptom clusters concentrate on psychological and nervous system symptoms including sadness, pain, dry mouth, numbness, hypersomnia, shortness of breath, amnesia and so on. The Cronbach α of cluster symptoms from the 1stto the 4thcycle chemotherapy was between 0.829 to 0.911. Conclusions Symptom clusters vary with the cycles of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline. Nurses should provide targeted intervention measures to improve symptom and enhance quality of life, according to specific situation.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of lung ultrasound images in critical care postoperative patients using BLUE-plus protocol . Methods Two hundred and twenty-two patients who were performed lung ultrasound measurements according to the BLUE-plus protocol within 24 hours admitted to the Department of critical care were included in this study . Data was collected and retrospectively analyzed to compare the proportion of different lung ultrasound signs at different speculate regions ,and to compare the lung ultrasound characteristics of patients undergo different surgeries . Results Excluding A lines ,the most common abnormal lung ultrasound signs at the diaphragmatic points were B7 lines (13 .06% ) ,and the most common abnormal lung ultrasound signs at the posterior blue points were C signs (28 .60% ) . The rate of C signs was significantly higher in post spinal cord surgery patients than those in other groups ( P =0 .032) . The rate of B3 lines was significantly higher at bilateral PLAPS points in oxygenation index 100-200 group compared with that in oxygenation index>300 group ( P =0 .011) . The rate of C signs was significantly higher at the left posterior blue point in oxygenation index 200-300 group , and at bilateral posterior blue point in oxygenation index 100-200 and <100 groups compared with those in oxygenation index >300 group ( P =0 .011 , P <0 .001 and P =0 .002) . The rate of pleural effusion was significantly higher at the right posterior blue point in oxygenation index 200 -300 group ,and at bilateral posterior blue point in oxygenation index 100 -200 group compared with those in oxygenation index >300 group ( P = 0 .001 , P < 0 .001 ) . Conclusions Screen with the BLUE-plus protocol can help to find abnormal signs including B3 lines ,B7 lines ,C signs and pleural effusion ,therefore instructs individualized treatment for postoperative patients . Pulmonary edema ,lung consolidation and pleural effusion are three main reasons responsible for hypoxemia in postoperative patients . Intensivists should avoid fluid overload , strengthen airway management ,postural therapy and encourage early mobility in postoperative patients .

Objective:To investigate the methylation status of SDC2, PPP2R5C and ADHFE1 genes in stool and their values in the screening of colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods:From August 2020 to March 2021, 64 patients with colorectal cancer, 72 patients with adenoma, 33 patients with hyperplastic polyps and 59 healthy people were recruited from Qingdao Central Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University, and the morning stool samples were collected from the research subjects. The genomic DNA was extracted and modified with sulfite. The methylation status of SDC2, PPP2R5C and ADHFE1 genes were detected by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP), and the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) was performed. Taking the pathological results as the gold standard, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to compare the effect of combined detection of methylation of three genes and FOBT in predicting colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. R-Studio software was used to construct a nomogram for the prediction of colorectal cancer with combined detection of gene methylation in stool and other clinical features, and the calibration and validation were performed.Results:The positive rates of combined detection of methylation of SDC2, PPP2R5C and ADHFE1 genes in stool were higher than those of FOBT in colorectal cancer+adenoma [74.3% (101/136) vs. 47.1% (64/136), χ2 = 23.20, P = 0.001], colorectal cancer [90.6% (58/64) vs. 70.3% (45/64), χ2 = 8.91, P = 0.003] and adenoma [59.7% (43/72) vs. 26.4% (19/72), χ2 = 14.43, P = 0.002]. There was no significant difference in the positive rates in hyperplastic polyps [21.2% (7/33) vs. 6.1% (2/33), χ2 = 0.12, P = 0.125] and healthy controls [10.2% (6/59) vs. 8.5% (5/59), χ2 = 4.01, P = 1.000]. The combined detection of gene methylation was better than FOBT in the prediction of colorectal cancer + adenoma [AUC: 0.85 (95% CI 0.80-0.91) vs. 0.71 (95% CI 0.64-0.78), P < 0.05], especially in the prediction of adenoma [AUC: 0.82 (95% CI 0.74-0.89) vs 0.64 (95% CI 0.57-0.69), P < 0.001]. The sensitivity and specificity of ADHFE1 gene methylation status in predicting colorectal cancer were high (90.6% and 96.6%). In colorectal cancer patients over 50 years old, the positive rate of combined detection of gene methylation was higher than that of FOBT [90.2% (55/61) vs. 68.9% (42/61), P < 0.05]. The nomogram calibration curve for predicting colorectal cancer constructed based on the combined detection of gene methylation and each clinical feature showed a high degree of concordance between the predicted and observed diagnostic performance of colorectal cancer. Conclusions:The methylation levels of SDC2, PPP2R5C AND ADHFE1 genes in stool are increased in patients with colorectal cancer or adenoma. The combined detection of gene methylation is expected to be a non-invasive method for the screening of colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions.
