There was no dissecting aneurysm formation, no SMA rupture and bleeding, and no stent rupture during the follow-up. The post ET 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year free from reintervention rate were 100%, 100%, and 91.7%, respectively.Conclusions:ET for SISMAD is safe and effective with satisfactory perioperative and midterm to long-term outcomes.

Objective To explore the relationship between job resources and anxiety on nurses,and investigate the moderating and mediating effects of resilience on job resources and anxiety. Methods Chi-nese nurses ( n＝560) from some departments of four hospitals in tangshan city were recruited by random sampling method and interviewed by job resources questionnaire,Connor-Davidson resilience scale and self-rating anxiety scale. Results The scores of nurses'anxiety,resilience and job resources were 40.82±9.63, 9.45±1.82,and 93.24±16.61 respectively.The resilience,job resources and its dimensions were negatively correlated to nurses'anxiety (P＜0.05).Resilience played moderating role in the relationship between nurses'anxiety and work autonomy(β＝0.168,P＜0.01).Resilience served to mediate the relationship between nurses'anxiety and performance feedback,career development opportunities (P＜0.05). The mediating effect value of performance feedback and career development opportunities on nurses' anxiety were －0.115881 and－0.068052 respectively ,which were 41.26% and 32.71% of the total effect respectively. Conclusion Job resources and resilience are closely related to nurses'anxiety.Resilience plays partially moderating and medi-ating role in the relationship between nurses'anxiety and job resources.

BACKGROUND:Gold nanoparticles are of great significance in the development of multifunctional transdermal drug delivery systems.Smaller gold nanoparticles can penetrate the dermis through the intercellular pathway,but are limited to their easy agglomeration and colloidal morphology,which makes it difficult to exert effects on low delivery efficiency. OBJECTIVE:To develop an ultrasound-optimized hydrogel delivery system by combining phase change nanodroplets with bio-adhesive hydrogel for percutaneous delivery of gold nanoparticles. METHODS:The ultrasound-responsive nanodroplets loaded with gold nanoparticles were prepared by the emulsion solvent evaporation method and loaded into the polydopamine-modified methylacryloyl gelatin hydrogel to prepare a composite hydrogel scaffold.The structure and chemical composition of the ultrasound-responsive nanogold carrier were characterized.The microstructure,porosity,permeability,rheology,in vitro hemostasis,and antibacterial properties of the composite hydrogel were characterized.The cell compatibility of the hydrogel scaffold was evaluated by live/dead staining,and the optimization effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on the permeability,porosity,and mechanical properties of hydrogel were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy proved the successful construction of nanogold carriers.The particle size and potential results demonstrated that the synthesized nanoscaled ultrasonic responsive carrier had good stability.(2)Live/dead cell staining proved that the prepared composite hydrogel scaffold had certain biocompatibility.(3)Scanning electron microscopy exhibited that the prepared composite hydrogel scaffold had a porous network structure,and numerous pores of about 2 μm appeared inside the macropores after the addition of nanodroplets and ultrasonic irradiation.The permeability experiment displayed that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound could optimize the porosity and permeability of hydrogel materials.The hemostatic performance of the composite hydrogel scaffold was better than that of the hemostatic sponge and polydopamine@methylacrylylated gelatin hydrogel scaffold.Under the irradiation of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound,the composite hydrogel scaffolds had good antioxidant effects and antibacterial properties.(4)Thermal imaging results manifested that gold nanoparticles were encapsulated in ultrasound-responsive nanobubbles,and more uniform dispersion could be obtained under ultrasonic excitation.(5)The results of the mechanical property test demonstrated that the storage modulus of the hydrogel increased before and after loading gold nanoparticles-nanodroplets,which showed stronger mechanical properties.The elongation at break was 122%,and the ductility was better than that without gold nanoparticles-nanodroplets(P<0.05).(6)These findings indicate that the composite hydrogel scaffold has good biocompatibility,antibacterial property,oxidation resistance,and hemostatic effect.

Objective:To summarize the anesthesia management of living small bowel transplantation.Methods:Severn patients undergoing living and allogeneic small bowel transplantation for the first time were selected.The intraoperative hemodynamics, indexes of blood gas analysis, body temperature and blood transfusion and volume of liquid infused were analyzed.Postoperative outcomes were tracked.Results:Six cases survived and were successfully discharged from hospital successfully, and one patient died.In the operation room, 71% patients were successfully extubated after surgery.Compared with the values during anatomical separation period, Hb during vascular anastomosis and intestinal reconstruction periods and concentration of Ca 2+ during intestinal reconstruction period were significantly decreased, and the blood glucose concentration during vascular anastomosis period were increased ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with the values during vascular anastomosis period, the blood glucose concentration was increased significantly during intestinal reconstruction period ( P<0.05). Crystalloid solution (57±30) ml/kg and colloid solution which mainly containing 20% albumin (15±13) ml/kg were infused mainly during anatomical separation and vascular anastomosis periods in all the patients. Conclusion:The condition of successful living small bowel transplantation is fully evaluation and preparation before surgery.Intravenous-inhalational anesthesia combined with transverses abdominis plane block and rational infusion of colloid solution with vasoactive drugs to maintain hemodynamics stability and monitor blood gas, body temperature, active adjustment of electrolytes and internal environment and stable body temperature can be helpful in maintaining perioperative stable vital signs during the perioperative period, removing the tracheal tube early at the end of surgery, and reducing the development of postoperative complications in patients undergoing living small bowel transplantation.
