Objective To study the clinical manifestation of small bowel tumors and the prognostic factors. Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data were made on 42 cases of primary small bowel tumors (except periampullary tumors) admitted to our hospital from 1974 to 1999. Results In this series, there were 6 cases of benign small bowel tumors, 5 of them were leiomyoma and 1 adenoma. Of the 36 cases of malignant tumors, there were malignant lyphoma in 17 cases (47.2%), adenocarcinoma in 11 (30.6%), leiomyosarcoma in 6(16.7%), carcinoid tumor in 1 (2.8%) and neurofibrosarcoma in 1 (2.8%). There was no characteristic clinical sign in small bowel tumors; endoscopy and barium series were the main diagnostic methods. About 50 per cent of patients with malignancy had metastasis, and only 18 cases (50%) received radical resection. Follow-up were available on 36 cases. The overall 5-year survival rate in the patients with malignant small bowel tumors was 47.3%. Multivariate analysis showed that metastasis and diameter of tumors were the main prognostic factors of the 5-year survival. Conclusions Early diagnosis and early treatment play the key roles in improving the prognosis of malignant small bowel tumors. Radical resection should be taken if no metastasis is found.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of three-district and four-level triage standards in adult emergency department.Methods A randomized sampling cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 1106 emergency adult patients admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in Hunan Province from December 2015 to April 2016 were enrolled. The triage was independently performed by 12 nurses according to the emergency triage criteria. Based on the shift style, 2 nurses were assigned to each shift as the triage guider and assistant respectively, who did the triage for every patient independently. The clinical data were recorded as follows: the demographic data, emergency information (triage time, emergency way, complaints, vital signs, and conscious state), triage information (triage level, admitted department), waiting time, treatment time, destination and outcomes. The reliability of three-district and four-level triage standards was analyzed by Spearman correlation, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted to evaluate its validity.Results ① A total of 254 patients were enrolled for reliability evaluation in the first 2 weeks of the study. The overall internal consistency rate ofthe triage instructors and the triage assistants was 72%, the total Kappa value was 0.686 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.608-0.757,P < 0.001]. ② Validity analysis showed that in the 1125 emergency patients collected during the study, a total of 1106 patients were finally enrolled in the analysis excluding the patients who refused to accept the treatment, whose data was incomplete and who was diagnosed as prehospital death. With the increase of three-district and four-level triage level, a significant increase was showed in the waiting time of patients, the treatment time, and the retention rate; on the contrary, the salvage rate, the hospitalization rate, hospitalization time, emergency mortality, in-hospital mortality and total mortality rate were decreased [the waiting time of patients from triage level 1 to 4 (minutes) was 1.00 (1.00, 1.75), 1.00 (1.00, 5.00), 8.00 (2.00, 23.00), 10.00 (4.50, 28.00), the treatment received time (minutes) was 1.00 (1.00, 10.00), 6.00 (1.00, 23.00), 48.00 (25.00, 105.00), 87.00 (41.00, 140.00), the retention rate was 4.76%, 10.94%, 55.91%, 42.86%, the salvage rate was 95.24%, 87.94%, 20.81%, 0%, the hospitalization rate was 57.14%, 70.98%, 53.62%, 20.41%, the hospitalization time (days) was 19.50 (9.75, 28.00), 11.00 (8.00, 17.00), 12.00 (8.25, 17.00), 10.50 (8.75, 15.25), the emergency mortality was 19.05%, 6.92%, 1.41%, 0%, the in-hospital mortality was 16.67%, 15.09%, 6.25%, 0%, and the total mortality rate was 28.57%, 17.63%, 4.76%, 0%, allP < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of three-district and four-level triage standards for identifying patients needed an immediate intervention (triage level 1 to 2) was 0.854 (95%CI = 0.831-0.878), and the sensitivity and specificity were 78.62% and 89.89%, respectively, the misdiagnosis rate was 10.11%, and the missed diagnosis rate was 21.38%.Conclusion The three-district and four-level triage standards were proved to be a reliable and valid instrument, which can distinguish the severity of the disease and help nurses to triage patients correctly.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood pressure, blood glucose or blood lipids and patients with cerebral infarction (CI) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in diff erent age or gender. Methods: hT e case-control study consecutively recruited patients with if rst-ever-in-a-lifetime CI (n=358) and ICH (n=230) and community-acquired pneumonia (n=165) as controls between January 2010 and December 2013 at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. hT epatients with CI or ICH were divided into the young group, the middle-aged group and the older group, and the risk factors were compared between the 3 groups. hTe patients with CI or ICH were respectively further divided into the male group and the female group. hTe blood pressure, glucose and lipids were measured. Results: Data from logistic regression models showed that CI was closely associated with high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (P<0.05), and ICH was closely related to high blood pressure, hypertension, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), FPG, serum creatinine (SCr) or alcohol drinking (P<0.05); hypertension was the main risk factor for stroke. hTe odds ratios for the young, the middle-aged and older group were 10.43, 4.74 and 7.39 respectively (P<0.05). Systolic blood pressure (OR=28.74) was the important risk factor for the young stroke, and the OR is 2.81 for the middle-aged stroke. Diastolic blood pressure (OR=2.96) and DM (OR=6.25) were the risk factor for the middle-aged stroke. LDL-C (OR=2.87) was a risk factor for the older stroke; the mean levels of diastolic blood pressure in males were signiifcantly increased compared with that in females with CI, while the mean levels of TC, HDL-C or LDL-C in females were signiifcantly higher than that in males with ICH (P<0.05). Conclusion: Hypertension, systolic blood pressure in particular, is the most common risk factor for young stroke patients. DM and hypertension are the risk factors for the middle-aged patients, while hypertension, DM, LDL-C and alcohol consuming are the risk factors for the aged patients.

Fifty five patients with alcohol induced-mental disorder (study group) and 43 local inhabitants without history of alcohol abuse (control group) were surveyed with family environment scale (FES-CV) and generic quality of life inventory-74 (GQOLI-74). The total score and the scores of all dimensions except material life in GQOLI-74 of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P <0. 05). Compared with control group, the scores in FES of study group were lower for factors of cohesion, expressiveness, active-recreational orientation, moral-religious emphasis and organization in the patient's family, while the scores for conflict and control were higher( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 ). The results indicate that family environment is closely correlated with quality of life in patients with alcohol-induced mental disorder, and family therapy would improve their quality of life.

Objective:To collect the Internet news about "sudden death", analyze its characteristics and resuscitation effects, so as to provide reference for formulating intervention strategies.Methods:The Internet was used to search for "sudden death" and "cardiac arrest" on "Baidu" and "360" websites. Reports of sudden death events were collected from January 2013 to December 2022. The age, gender, characteristics of sudden death, implementation characteristics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes of sudden death patients were recorded and analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed for pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes. Unconditional multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the related factors affecting the pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes in patients with sudden death.Results:177 news reports were finally confirmed, involving 177 sudden death patients, including 152 males (85.9%) and 25 females (14.1%), aged (37.27±16.82) years old, and 53.1% in the 16-45 years old group. Triggering factors included strenuous exercise (29.9%), heart disease history (7.9%), overwork (6.2%), staying up late and insomnia (4.0%), activation of emotion (2.8%), and no obvious inducement (48.0%). After on-site first aid, 104 cases (58.8%) achieved restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before hospital admission, and 18 cases (10.2%) recovered consciousness. After clinical treatment, 109 cases (61.6%) achieved ROSC, 86 cases (48.6%) recovered consciousness, and 22 cases (12.4%) did not report the final outcome. Subgroup analysis showed that compared with patients who achieved pre-hospital ROSC ( n = 104), sudden death in non-ROSC patients ( n = 73) mainly occurred during sleep, in residence and without immediate CPR, full CPR, or automated external defibrillator (AED); and patients who ultimately did not recover consciousness clinically ( n = 91) showed similar characteristics compared with patients who recovered consciousness ( n = 86). Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that immediate CPR [pre-hospital ROSC: odds ratio ( OR) = 8.06, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.36-27.46; final recovery of consciousness: OR = 9.10, 95% CI was 2.46-33.68] and AED defibrillation (pre-hospital ROSC: OR = 36.31, 95% CI was 4.53-291.19; final recovery of consciousness: OR = 3.53, 95% CI was 1.45-8.61) facilitated pre-hospital achievement of sudden death patients ROSC and final recovery of consciousness. Conclusions:Out-of-hospital sudden death mainly occurs in young people, and vigorous exercise is one of the potential factors for out-of-hospital sudden death, with nearly half having no obvious cause. Immediate and rapid CPR and defibrillation are the simplest and most effective on-site first aid methods. Strengthening public CPR and defibrillation education and training, and advocating healthy lifestyle are effective ways to improve the survival rate of sudden death and reduce the occurrence of sudden death. Based on practical clinical rescue experience, the implementation of bystander CPR by medical personnel is also a factor that cannot be ignored in affecting the clinical outcomes of sudden death patients.
