Objective To study and explore the influence of humanized nursing on psychological state and life quality in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis. Methods From January 2013 to January 2014 in our hospital 60 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis according to the different nursing methods were divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The patients in the control group treated by conventional methods of care. The observation group with humanistic nursing, the efficacy of the two groups, and two groups of the patient's quality of life score, SAS score, SDS score were compared. Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 90.00% (27/30), was sig-nificantly higher than that in the control group 70.00%(21/30), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The SAS score, SDS score of intervention group and the control group after the intervention were significantly lower than be-fore intervention, and the intervention group was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statisti-cally significant(P<0.05), Energy, pain, emotional reactions, sleep, social isolation and somatic activity score of the in-tervention group and the control group after the intervention were significantly reduced compared with those before in-tervention, and the intervention group was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically sig-nificant (P<0.05). Conclusion The humanized nursing intervention can improve the effect and quality of life in chronic glomerulonephritis, anxiety, depression, so as to enable them to actively cooperate with treatment and nursing.

With the progress and development of perinatal medicine,the survival rate of preterm infant has been increased significantly. Early complications of premature infants could be effectively con-trolled,but some surviving premature infants left cerebral palsy,motor development retardation,visual impair-ment and other neurodevelopmental disorders,which seriously affected the quality of life.As a part of the neonatal physical examination,Peabody developmental motor scale plays an increasingly important role in understanding the early intelligence development,behavioral capacity,and neurological development of newborns.This paper reviewed the application of the Peabody developmental motor scale in the assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders in premature infants.

Objective:To identify the anatomical landmarks with stable and consistent performance in both rigid and deformation registrations,and to investigate the feasibility that take them as the quantitative indexes for quantitative evaluation of multimodality image registration for pancreatic cancer in clinical practice. Methods:Twenty-five patients with pancreatic cancer were selected.Both the rigid and deformation registrations were performed between simulated CT and MRI T1-weighted images.Seven anatomical landmarks,which were left adrenal gland,portal vein,celiac trunk artery,superior mesenteric artery,lumbar vertebral body,inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta,were selected.The anatomical landmarks were marked on the simulated CT and the registered MRI,respectively.The distances between the geometric centers of each anatomical landmarks in two kinds of images were statistically analyzed.The Wilcoxon rank sum test was implemented to compare the differences between rigid and deformation registrations.In addition,the correlations between anatomical landmarks were analyzed as well. Results:The mean distances of centers for the seven anatomical markers under rigid registration ranged from 0.405 cm to 1.097 cm,while they ranged from 0.433 cm to 0.740 cm under deformation registration.There was no significant difference in the registration of anatomical markers between rigid and deformation registration,except the left adrenal gland.The registration differences of celiac trunk artery and abdominal aorta were of most stable in 25 patients.Correlation study showed that all anatomical markers except abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava were independent and significant. Conclusion:It is feasible to quantitatively evaluate the registration quality of multimodality image registration for pancreatic cancer by using anatomical landmarks.It is recommended to use celiac trunk artery and abdominal aorta as the anatomical markers in clinical procedure.They are both stable in rigid and deformation registration,and the correlation between them is low,with means they can be used as independent evaluation criteria.

Objective To observe the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation on intestinal microbiota and brain function in sepsis rats. Methods Sixty male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham operation group, model group and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) group by random number table, each group 20 rats. The rat model of sepsis was established by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 10 mg/kg in tail vein. FMT group received nasogastric infusion of feces from healthy donor. Fecal samples were collected on the 6th day after the modeling to detect the levels of intestinal microbiota composition; the brain function was also evaluated by electroencephalogram (EEG), and the proportion of each waveform in EEG was calculated. After sacrifice of rats in different groups, the brain tissues were taken, the levels of protein expression and positive cells of Iba-1 in brain tissue were detected by Western Blot and immunohistochemistry method. Results ① Intestinal flora analysis showed that: the diversity index and Chaol index of the intestinal microbiota in model group were significantly lower than that in sham operation group (observed species:282±40 vs. 473±37, Chao1 index: 730±21 vs. 837±27, both P < 0.05); compared with the model group, the diversity index and Chaol index in FMT group were obviously higher (observed species: 461±20 vs. 282±40, Chao1 index:840±16 vs. 730±21, both P < 0.05). At phylum, family, genus level analysis showed that the proportion of Firmicutes phylum and Fusobacterium were obviously lower than those of sham operation group [Firmicutes phylum (22.12±1.34)% vs. (78.01±1.23)%, Fusobacterium: (2.03±0.17)% vs. (5.03±0.19)%, both P < 0.05], and the proportions of Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes phyla and Acidaminococcaceae, Fusobacteriaceae, Enterbacteriacecae, Alistipes were markedly higher in model group [Proteobacteria: (70.21±2.35)% vs. (19.45±2.17)%, Bacteroidetes phyla: (4.12±0.19)% vs. (2.50±0.64)%, Acidaminococcaceae: (12.51±0.87)% vs. (1.01±0.12)%, Fusobacteriaceae: (13.62±1.27)% vs. (2.31±0.19)%, Enterbacteriacecae: (18.24±2.13)% vs. (4.15±1.51)%, Alistipes: (4.53±0.27)% vs. (1.47±0.33)%, all P < 0.05]; compared with the model group, the proportion of Firmicutes phylum and Faecalibacterium in FMT group were significantly higher [Firmicutes phylum: (72.14±2.31)% vs. (22.12±1.34)%, Faecalibacterium: (5.01±0.27)% vs. (2.03±0.17)%, both P < 0.05], and Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes phyla and Acidaminococcaceae, Fusobacteriaceae, Enterbacteriacecae in FMT group were obviously lower [Proteobacteria: (14.23±1.98)% vs. (70.21±2.35)%, Bacteroidetes phyla: (3.15±0.18)% vs. (4.12±0.19)%, Acidaminococcaceae: (0.91±0.11)% vs. (12.51±0.87)%, Fusobacteriaceae: (1.25±0.15)% vs. (13.62±1.27)%, Enterbacteriacecae: (3.50±0.21)% vs. (18.24±2.13)%, all P < 0.05]. ② EEG analysis showed that the percentages of δ wave in EEG in model group was significantly higher after modeling than that in sham operation group [(16.86±0.50)% vs. (10.67±0.65)%, P < 0.05]; the ratios of δ wave in EEG was significantly lower in FMT group than that in the model group [(12.87±0.60)% vs. (17.35±0.41)%, P <0.05].

Conclusion FMT can improve the construction of intestinal microbiota, and ameliorate the brain dysfunction in SAE.

Objective:To investigate the reference ranges for thyroid function and its influencing factors in preterm infants at 14 d after birth.Methods:This retrospective study involved 514 preterm infants who met the inclusion criteria in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. They were divided into three group according to their gestational age [early premature group (26-31 +6 weeks, n=153), middle premature group (32-33 +6 weeks, n=129) and late premature group (34-36 +6 weeks, n=232)] or birth weight (BW) [<1 500 g group ( n=129), 1 500-2 000 g group ( n=120) and ≥2 000 g group ( n=265)]. Venous blood samples were collected from the infants at 14 d after birth and their thyroid function was determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay. The reference values of free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were calculated based on the values of 95% confidence intervals ( CI) and expressed as percentiles in the range from P2.5 to P97.5. Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare those thyroid hormone levels between groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation of gestational age or birth weight with FT 3, FT 4 and TSH levels. The factors influencing the levels of thyroid hormones were analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results:The reference ranges for FT 3, FT 4 and TSH were 1.53-3.72 pg/ml, 0.81-1.91 ng/dl and 1.32-7.80 μIU/ml in the early premature infants, 1.74-4.16 pg/ml, 0.90-2.82 ng/dl and 0.63-7.64 μIU/ml in middle prematures and 2.07-4.88 pg/ml, 1.09-2.27 ng/dl and 1.14-7.06 μIU/ml in late prematures. The reference ranges for the above three indexes were 1.53-4.06 pg/ml, 0.81-1.83 ng/dl and 1.14-7.84 μIU/ml in premature infants with BW<1 500 g, 1.67-3.98 pg/ml, 0.88-2.97 ng/dl and 0.94-7.64 μIU/ml in those whose BW between 1 500 g and 2 000 g and 1.91-4.75 pg/ml, 1.09-2.31 ng/dl and 1.14-6.32 μIU/ml in those whose BW≥2 000 g. Multiple linear regression showed that the level of FT 3 was positively correlated with gestational age ( β=0.119, P<0.05) and birth weight ( β=1.950×10 －4, P<0.05); that of FT 4 was positively correlated with gestational age only ( β=0.031, P<0.05); and TSH level was negatively correlated with birth weight ( β=－4.250×10 －4, P<0.05). Conclusions:Gestational age and birth weight are the factors influencing thyroid function in preterm infants at 14 d after birth. Evaluation of thyroid function with FT 4 and TSH should based on the references ranges of different gestational age and birth weight .

Objective·To compare the physical activities of stroke population and non-stroke population based on the baseline survey of the elderly population cohort in Shanghai communities,and explore the participation in different types of physical activities of stroke population.Methods·The subjects were screened from Shanghai Community Elderly Cohort constructed from February to August,2019 according to the admission criteria.The subjects were divided into non-stroke group and stroke group according to whether they had reported a history of stroke by themselves,and the two groups were matched 2 to 1 by controlling age and sex with propensity score matching.The baseline characteristics of the two groups were collected,and the physical activities related to sports,transportation and housework in the last week were investigated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ).Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQ1)was used to evaluate the sleep quality of the subjects.Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD-7)and Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9)were used to evaluate anxiety and depression of the subjects,respectively.The above characteristics were compared between the stroke group and non-stroke group,and the participation of different types of physical activities were compared between the two groups by multivariate Logistic regression model.Results·Among the 17 948 people included,there were 993(5.5％)in the stroke group and 16 955(94.5％)in the non-stroke group.After propensity score matching,there were 1 984 people(66.7％)in the non-stroke group and 992 people(33.3％)in the stroke group.There were significant differences in education level,pre-retirement occupation,waist circumference,body mass index,sleep status,anxiety symptoms,depression symptoms and disease history between the two groups(all P＜0.05).In terms of physical activities,the female stroke group had shorter daily moderate exercises time,fewer riding and walking days in one week,and shorter daily riding time,compared with the non-stroke people,with statistical significance(all P＜0.05).Compared with the non-stroke people,the weekly housework days and daily housework time in the male and female stroke groups were lower than those in the non-stroke group,while the daily sedentary time was longer,with statistical significance(all P=0.000).In terms of physical activity level,the proportions of men and women in the stroke group who reached medium or high level were lower than those in the non-stroke group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P=0.000).After adjusting for gender,age,occupation,anxiety symptoms,history of hyperlipidemia,history of atrial fibrillation,history of chronic gastritis and history of hip fracture by multivariate Logistic regression model,the level of vigorous exercise participation in the stroke group was lower,the proportions of no housework in the last week and sedentary time greater than 180 min per day were higher,and the proportion at medium and high activity levels was lower(all P＜0.05).Conclusion·The frequency and duration of housework participation and the physical activity level of elderly people with a history of stroke in Shanghai communities are at a lower level than those without stroke,and they also have a longer sedentary time.

Objective: Through a pain study of buccal gingival mucosa sensitivity of the mandible, the corresponding sensitive area of pain was determined, which provided the basis for reducing the pain and discomfort of oral diagnosis and treatment. Methods: 400 patients with mandibular tooth extraction in the outpatient department of stomatology were selected. During tooth extraction, articaine epinephrine injection was used for infiltration anesthesia. The injection needle size was 0.3 mm × 21 mm, and the injection site was about 5 mm away from the buccal gingival margin. The pain degree of the patients was recorded. The data were statistically analyzed using the modified International pain classification method. Results : Among the 400 patients who underwent mandible extraction, 75% (300 patients) graded their pain from painless to moderate, and 25% (100 patients) reported moderate to severe and severe pain. Of those in the moderate to severe and severe groups, 50% and 42% reported pain in the central and lateral incisors, respectively, and 38% were in the canine group. When comparing the moderate to severe and the severe groups, 16% and 10% were in the bicuspid group, 16% and 12% and 16% were in the molar group, respectively . There were significant differences in the pain sensitivity of different teeth positions (χ2=54.203, P < 0.001). The proportion of moderate to severe and severe pain in the anterior teeth group was higher than it was in the posterior teeth group (χ2=55.555, P < 0.001). There were significant differences in the pain sensitivity of different ages (χ2=96.501, P=0.000), and there was a positive correlation between pain and age (r=0.465, P < 0.001). The proportion of women with at least a moderate degree of pain was higher than that of men (χ2=12.298, P=0.031). Conclusion The sensitivity of the buccal gingival mucosa to pain is different in different positions of the mandible. The sensitivity of the anterior gingiva is higher than that of the posterior gingiva. Age is positively correlated with the degree of pain. Further, compared with men, women are more sensitive to pain.
