Nowadays, the curative effect of traditional systemic chemotherapy has been in a dilemma for patients with advanced unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are negative for genetic mutations or programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressions. Bronchial artery interventional therapy, represented by bronchial artery infusion (BAI) and bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE), is a mature local treatment for advanced NSCLC which has prominent advantages in several aspects such as improving the concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs, blocking feeding arteries of tumor and reducing systemic adverse reactions. The mechanism, the characteristics of benefiting crowd as well as the current status of bronchial artery interventional treatment were reviewed in this article.

Background As a common form of gastric cancer migration,lymph node metastasis largely affects the surgical treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer.Surgery is the fundamental curative option for gastric cancer that varies depending on different stages.The study aimed to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and lymph node metastatic patterns in patients of proximal gastric cancer with different T stages and investigate a reasonable radical gastrectomy approach in terms of the range of lymphadenectomy for proximal gastric cancer.Methods In our retrospective study,the data of 328 patients of proximal gastric cancer with different T stages were analyzed.By comparing the differences of lymph node metastatic rate and ratio,we investigated the clinicopathological characteristics and metastatic patterns of lymph nodes.Also,we were especially interested in the differences in survival rates between patients with and without No.5 and 6 group metastasis with the same TNM stage.Results The overall lymph node metastatic rate and ratio of advanced proximal gastric cancer were 73.4％ and 23.3％,respectively.The tumors of different T stages were statistically significant in size and differentiation degree (P ＜0.05),multivariate analysis showed that the depth of tumor invasion was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis in proximal gastric cancer (RR,12.025; 95％ CI,2.326 to 62.157; P=0.003).The overall survival rate of patients with No.5,6 group lymph node metastasis and those without was significantly different,but the differences in survival rates between patients with and without No.5 and 6 group metastasis with the same TNM stage were not statistically significant.Conclusions Different T stages in proximal gastric cancer showed different patterns and characteristics of lymph node metastasis.D2 lymphadenectomy in patients with early gastric cancer had little survival benefit because metastasis to level 2 nodes was rare.Therefore the range of the lymph node dissection in radical gastrectomy for earty gastric cancer was considered reasonable.Moreover,to meet the requirements of the lymph node dissection,total gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy or more are supposed to be applied for the advanced proximal gastric cancer patients.Precise T staging larqely determines the range of gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy.

Polyphenolic compounds have received tremendous attention in biomedicine because of their good biocompatibility and unique physicochemical properties.In recent years,phenolic-enabled nanotechnology(PEN)has become a hotspot of research in the medical field,and many promising studies have been reported,especially in the application of central nervous system(CNS)diseases.Polyphenolic compounds have superior anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties,and can easily cross the blood?brain barrier,as well as protect the nervous system from metabolic damage and promote learning and cognitive functions.However,although great advances have been made in this field,a comprehensive review regarding PEN-based nanomaterials for CNS therapy is lacking.A systematic summary of the basic mechanisms and synthetic strategies of PEN-based nanomaterials is beneficial for meeting the demand for the further development of novel treatments for CNS diseases.This review systematically introduces the fundamental physicochemical properties of PEN-based nanomaterials and their applications in the treatment of CNS diseases.We first describe the different ways in which polyphenols interact with other substances to form high-quality products with controlled sizes,shapes,compositions,and surface chemistry and functions.The application of PEN-based nanomaterials in the treatment of CNS diseases is then described,which provides a reference for subsequent research on the treatment of CNS diseases.

Objective:To investigate the nurses' attitude towards open visitation policy in intensive care unit (ICU) and its potential influence factors, and further to provide evidence for carrying out this policy in ICU.Methods:A self-designed, anonymous online questionnaire of "attitude of ICU nurses to open visiting system in ICU" was performed in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China from October to December 2019, using convenient sampling method approach. Only nurses working in ICU (including specialized ICU, but excluding the critical ward in general ward) and willing to participate in the survey were included. The survey included 35 items, including the general information of each participant, the attitude towards the implementation of the open visitation system in ICU and its potential influencing factors. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the significant influencing factors.Results:A total of 1 558 questionnaires were sent out and 1 546 effective questionnaires were retrieved, with a response rate of 99.2%. Overall, 32.2% of them agreed with the policy, 41.3% of them disagree with the policy and 26.5% of them were uncertain. The Ordinal Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent influencing factors of ICU nurses' attitude towards open visitation policy including the possibility of increasing healthcare-associated infection [disagree: β = 1.327, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.242 to 2.413, P = 0.017; uncertain: β = 0.697, 95% CI was 0.244 to 1.151, P = 0.003], the improvement of nurses' job satisfaction (disagree: β = -1.406, 95% CI was -1.750 to -1.062, P = 0.000; uncertain: β = -0.748, 95% CI was -1.030 to -0.466, P = 0.000), the information support for medical staffs from family members (disagree: β = -0.644, 95% CI was -1.048 to -0.240, P = 0.002; uncertain: β = -0.422, 95% CI was -0.721 to -0.124, P = 0.006), the feasibility that the family members can assist the nurses in the basic nursing for patients (uncertain: β = -0.465, 95% CI was -0.729 to -0.202, P = 0.001), reducing the time that a nurse spent on caring for the patients (uncertain: β = 0.349, 95% CI was 0.052 to 0.646, P = 0.021), improving early rehabilitation (disagree: β = -0.593, 95% CI was -1.166 to -0.019, P = 0.043), and getting psychological support for patients from family members (disagree: β = 1.293, 95% CI was 0.426 to 2.159, P = 0.003), family members' satisfaction (disagree: β = -0.981, 95% CI was -1.431 to -0.531, P = 0.000). Conclusion:ICU nurses in China have realized that open visitation policy has positive effect on patients' early rehabilitation, willing to live and satisfaction; meanwhile, this policy may need more improvement in many ways such as healthcare-associated infection control, disinfection and isolation, allocation of human resources and time spent treating and caring for patients.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in detecting N 1 or N 2 metastasis of lymph node (LN) with different densities in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:A total of 118 patients (68 males, 50 females, age range: 27-87 (65.4±10.8) years) with N 0-N 2 M 0 NSCLC in Beijing Hospital between October 2007 and December 2017 were included in this study. All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT, followed by surgery within 1 month. The pathological findings of the resected hilar mediastinal LN were taken as the gold standard, and ratios of LN metastasis were calculated for different density groups (calcification, partial calcification, hyper density, hypodensity/isodensity). The cut-off values of LN size (short diameter) and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) in the detection of N 1 and N 2 metastases was determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the diagnostic efficiencies were calculated. Independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test (partition of χ2) were used for data analysis. Results:A total of 433 LN has the histopathologic results: 365 LN was in stage N 0, 68 LN was in stage N 1-N 2. There were no metastases in calcification group (0/8). The metastatic LN proportions in partial calcification group (28.6%, 8/28), hypodensity/isodensity group (20.3%, 44/217) were significantly higher than that in the hyper density group (8.9%, 16/180; χ2 values: 7.369, 9.945, both P<0.017 (threshold for partition of χ2)). There was no significant difference between the partial group and hypodensity/isodensity group ( χ2=1.021, P>0.017). The SUV max of N 1+ N 2 group was significantly higher than that in N 0 group (6.94 (4.51, 11.36) vs 2.45 (1.93, 3.42); z=-10.388, P<0.01). According to the ROC curve, the cut-off value of SUV max in detecting hilar and mediastinal LN was 3.66. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for N 1+ N 2 metastasis was 85.3%, 78.9%, 80.0% respectively. The cut-off values of SUV max for hypodensity/isodensity group and hyper density group were 3.66 and 2.79 respectively, and the corresponding sensitivities, specificities, accuracies and positive predictive values (PPV) were 93.2%, 86.7%, 88.0%, 64.1% vs 93.8%, 57.9% ( χ2=10.724), 61.1% ( χ2=7.326, P<0.01), 17.9%( χ2=32.971, P<0.01). The specificity of LN size (1.0 cm)+ SUV max was significantly higher that of LN size or SUV max alone (94.2% vs 80.9%, 86.7%; χ2 values: 14.048, 5.661, both P<0.05) in hypodensity/isodensity group. The specificity and accuracy of LN size (1.0 cm)+ SUV max were significantly higher those of SUV max alone ( χ2 values: 58.043, 37.037, both P<0.01) in hyper density group. Conclusions:18F-FDG PET/CT is useful in diagnosing the N 1+ N 2 metastases in hypodensity/isodensity LN, but has limitation in diagnosing the partial calcification LN. Combination of lymph node short diameter and SUV max cut-off value can improve the diagnostic specificity or accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for hypodensity/isodensity and high density LN.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70),and evaluate their clinical significance in brain injury of children with complicated febrile convulsions (CFC).Methods Forty-three patients with CFC,41 children with simple febrile convulsions and 36 healthy controls were recruited in this study; their serum levels of BDNF and HSP70 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); correlation between levels of BDNF and HSP70 and both time of twitch duration and twitch frequency were analyzed.Results The mean serum concentrations of BDNF (4.96±1.21 ng/mL) and HSP70 (2.86± 0.93 ng/mL) in patients of CFC group were significantly higher than those in patients of simple febrile convulsions and healthy controls (P＜0.05); while no significant difference was noted between patients of simple febrile convulsions and healthy controls (P＞0.05).These changes were closely related to the duration time and frequency of convulsions(r=0.553,P=0.015; r=0.587,P=0.012; r=0.526,P=0.024; r=0.562,P=0.018).Conclusions It is sure that some brain injury exists in children with CFC; BDNF and HSP-70 might be one of the molecular mechanisms for the brain injury and protective effect.
