Objective:To evaluate the effect of active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) on respiratory muscle training in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.Methods:A quasi-experimental trial was performed. Patients were allocated to the control group or intervention group according to their time of admission. Patients who were admitted to hospital from January 2019 to April 2019 were assigned to the control group and patients admitted from May 2019 to October 2019 were allocated to the intervention group. The control group ( n=84) received routine perioperative care, and the intervention group ( n=82) received ACBT in addition to routine perioperative care. Patients in both groups were trained 3 to 5 times a day throughout their stay in the hospital. The primary outcome measure was maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), peak of expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC). Other outcomes included the postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), days of postoperative hospital stay. Results:The MIP, PEF, FVC value of the control group 3 days after extubation were (64.77±9.80) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), (139.52±23.74) L/min, (1.07±0.20) L, the intervention group were (69.89±10.92) cmH 2O, (150.37±28.65) L/min, (1.15±0.22)L, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -3.177,-2.657,-2.409, P <0.05). The MIP, PEF, FVC value of the control group 5 days after extubation were (71.13±8.64) cmH 2O, (270.48±44.36) L/min, (2.02±0.29) L, the intervention group were (74.72±12.48) cmH 2O, (287.07±58.61) L/min, (2.21±0.35) L, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -2.161,-2.060,-3.605, P <0.05). The days of postoperative hospital stay of control group and intervention group were (8.15±0.98) and (7.80±1.23) d, there were significant differences ( t value was 2.021, P <0.05). Conclusions:ACBT is an effective and economical pulmonary rehabilitation method, it has effect on Respiratory Muscle Training in Patients Undergoing CABG surgery.

Objective: To explore the relationship among dark triad, peer relationship, and cyber bullying of middle school students, and to provide suggestions for intervention of cyberbullying behavior of middle school students. Methods: Peer Relationship Scale (PRS), Dirty Dozen (DD) and Cyberbullying Questionnaire (CBQ) were administrated to 1 934 middle school students in Beijing and Yunnan by cluster sampling. Results: Middle school boys scored significantly higher on the dark triad and cyber-bullying than girls ( F =13.45, 50.20, P <0.01). The dark triad of middle school students was positively correlated with cyber-bullying ( r =0.38, 0.40, 0.21, P <0.01), while negative dimensions of peer relationship were positively correlated with cyber-bullying ( r = -0.10 , -0.22, -0.16, P <0.01). Peer relationship had a moderating effect on the relationship between dark triad and cyber-bullying ( β =-0.07， t =-3.24，Δ R 2=0.00， P <0.01). Conclusion Positive peer relationship can reduce the cyber-bullying behavior of middle school students with high dark triad which should be emphasized among middle school students.

Objective To investigate the relationship between dyslipidemia and nephrolithiasis in a population-based study.Methods All participants were investigated by questionnaires,physical examinations and laboratory tests including liver and renal function,lipid profile,serum fasting glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin.Nephrolithiasis was diagnosed by kidney Bultrasonography.Subjects with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ＜ 60 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1were excluded.Results 10 316 individuals were enrolled with an average age of (54.88 ± 10.27) years (range 17-88 years) and the ratio of male to female 1:1.12.The prevalence of nephrolithiasis was 5.6％,3.7％ and 7.8％ for whole population,women and men,respectively.In women,only eGFR in stone group was significantly lower than that in non-stone group (P ＜ 0.05).However,participants in stone group were significantly older (P ＜ 0.05),of higher blood pressure (P ＜ 0.01),higher serum uric acid (P ＜ 0.01),worse renal function (serum creatinine,P ＜ 0.05;eGFR,P ＜ 0.01),and higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (P ＜ 0.05),compared with those in non-stone group in men.Logistic regression analysis showed that only eGFR (P ＜ 0.05) was the independent influential factor for kidney stones in women;In men,LDL was an independent influential factor for nephrolithiasis with a hazard ratio of 1.149 (95％CI 1.003-1.317,P ＜ 0.05),except for mean blood pressure and eGFR.After being divided into normal group,borderline high group and high LDL group according to the LDL level,with the increase of LDL,the prevalence of nephrolithiasis was significantly increased by 7.3％,8.3％ and 10.6％ in men respectively.There was no significant relationship between total cholesterol,triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein and nephrolithiasis.Conclusions Dyslipidemia is associated with nephrolithiasis in men,and high LDL cholesterol is an independent risk factor for nephrolithiasis.Clinical lipid testing not only helps to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic disease,but also reduces the risk of kidney stones.

Phytochemical studies on the fruits of Eucalyptus globulus led to the isolation of twelve compounds.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between plasma D-dimer level and cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 58 patients with stage ⅠB-ⅢA lung cancer who received chemotherapy at The First Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology from January 2020 to December 2023. These patients comprised the observation group. The control group consisted of 41 patients diagnosed with lung cancer who had completed adjuvant chemotherapy and entered the follow-up stage. The plasma D-dimer level in the observation group was monitored before and after four cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The plasma D-dimer level in the control group was monitored before and after 3 months of follow-up. The Chinese version of the Cancer Fatigue Scale and the Chinese version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) were used to evaluate cancer-related fatigue levels and quality of life in both groups. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between plasma D-dimer levels and cancer-related fatigue and quality of life.Results:After four cycles of chemotherapy and 3 months of follow-up, the plasma D-dimer level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.17 ± 0.32) mg/L vs. (0.66 ± 0.29) mg/L, t = -8.26, P < 0.001]. The score of the Chinese version of the FACT-L in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(79.82 ± 9.74) points vs. (67.49 ± 8.12) points, t = -6.85, P < 0.001]. The scores for tumor-related symptoms, physiological status, social/family status, functional status, and emotional status in the FACT-L for the observation group were (21.26 ± 3.17) points, (14.37 ± 2.24) points, (22.63 ± 3.48) points, (11.53 ± 2.13) points, and (14.79 ± 2.73) points, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(22.42 ± 3.31) points, (17.65 ± 2.64) points, (25.12 ± 3.39) points, (16.34 ± 2.68) points, (16.37 ± 2.76) points, t = 3.26, 6.48, 3.56, 3.60, 2.82, all P < 0.05]. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the plasma D-dimer level was positively correlated with the cancer-related fatigue score ( r = 0.367, P < 0.001) and negatively correlated with the total FACT-L score ( r = -0.334, P < 0.001). Conclusion:In patients with stage ⅠB-ⅢA lung cancer after surgery, changes in plasma D-dimer levels during adjuvant chemotherapy are associated with the degree of cancer-related fatigue and affect quality of life. Therefore, monitoring plasma D-dimer levels can provide important reference value for assessing the outcome of chemotherapy and guiding clinical treatment.

Tissue distribution of marbofloxacin was studied in pigs after a single intramuscular injection at 2.5 mg/kg body weight. Samples of plasma, muscle, liver, kidney, heart, lung, and muscle at the injection site were randomly collected from five pigs at 2, 6, 10, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after administration. Marbofloxacin concentrations were determined by using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection and were subjected to non-compartmental analysis to obtain kinetic parameters. The elimination half-life (t(1/2λz)) of marbofloxacin at the injection site was 22.12 h, while those in kidney, plasma, liver, lung, heart, and muscle were 16.75, 21.48, 21.84, 24.00, 24.45, and 28.91 h, respectively. Areas under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to (∞) (AUC(0–∞)s) were calculated to be 31.17 h·µg·mL⁻¹ for plasma and 32.97, 33.92, 34.78, 37.58, 42.02, and 98.80 h·µg·g⁻¹ for heart, muscle, lung, liver, kidney, and injection site, respectively. The peak concentration (C(max)) of marbofloxacin was 1.62 µg/mL in plasma and 1.71, 1.74, 1.86, 1.93, 2.45, and 7.64 µg/g in heart, lung, muscle, kidney, liver, and injection site, respectively. The results show that marbofloxacin was fast absorbed, extensively distributed, and slowly eliminated from pigs after a single intramuscular administration.

Objective:To determine the epidemiology of hyperkalemia and influencing factors in a general population in Pinggu district of Beijing city.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. The subjects were from the epidemiological survey population of chronic diseases in Pinggu district of Beijing city from March to May 2014. All participants completed a questionnaire, anthropological measurement, and venous blood samples collection to detect serum creatinine and potassium and so on. First void morning urine was collected to detect the albumin-creatinine ratio. Hyperkalemia and hypokalemia were defined as serum potassium level>5.0 mmol/L and≤3.5 mmol/L, respectively. Logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the influencing factors of hyperkalemia.Results:Of the 10 252 people in this study, the prevalence of hyperkalemia was 6.17%(95% CI 5.70%-6.67%), the prevalence of hypokalemia was 0.61%(95% CI 0.47%-0.79%), and the prevalence of participants with serum potassium>5.5 mmol/L was 0.53%(95% CI 0.40%-0.69%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that males ( OR=1.269, 95% CI 1.074-1.498, P=0.005), diabetes ( OR=1.226, 95% CI 1.008-1.490, P=0.041), increased total cholesterol ( OR=1.219, 95% CI 1.119-1.329, P<0.001), and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate ( OR=0.971, 95% CI 0.965-0.977, P<0.001) were significantly correlated with the increased risk of hyperkalemia. Usage of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and diuretics were not found to be significantly associated with the risk of hyperkalemia ( OR=1.018, 95% CI 0.751-1.380, P=0.908; OR=0.638, 95% CI 0.229-1.781, P=0.391). Conclusions:The prevalence of HK in the general population is 6.17%. The male, decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate, diabetes, and increased total cholesterol are influencing factors of hyperkalemia.

Objective:This study intends to explore the clinical outcomes of liposuction combined with a vacuum-assisted biopsy device in the treatment of Simon grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ gynecomastia (GYN) caused by glandular proliferation and excrescent fat deposition.Methods:The clinical data of Simon grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ GYN caused by glandular proliferation and excrescent fat deposition treated by liposuction and vacuum-assisted biopsy device in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Ninth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from June 2016 to June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical procedures: A 5-mm skin incision was made at the lower outer margin of the breast, through which the excrescent fat deposition was removed by liposuction. In addition, a vacuum-assisted biopsy device was applied to remove the residual glandular tissue. The operation time, liposuction volume, removed glandular tissue weight, blood loss, drainage volume, drainage duration, patient satisfaction, and complications were observed and recorded. The patients were followed up from June to December 2020. Patients were asked to grade the cosmetic outcome between 0 and 5 (0 was extremely dissatisfied, 5 was extremely satisfied). The data were sorted out and analyzed by SPSS 19.0, and the data were expressed as Mean±SD or M ( P25, P75). Results:A total of 27 patients with 51 breasts were enrolled in this study. Unilateral operation time, liposuction volume, removed glandular tissue weight, blood loss, drainage volume, drainage duration were (45.3±11.1) min, (206.0±66.7) ml, (28.9±9.5) g, (10.0±4.3) ml, (78.8±33.9) ml and (2.3±0.4) d respectively. Bruising occurred in 9 breasts. No other complications were observed. The postoperative follow-up time was 21.0 (17.0, 28.0) months, and the score of patient satisfaction was 4.98±0.14.Conclusions:Liposuction combined with vacuum-assisted biopsy device can be used as a feasible and minimally invasive approach to treat the Simon grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ GYN caused by glandular proliferation and excrescent fat deposition, which is safe and reliable with few complications, excellent cosmetic results, and high patient satisfaction. However, it has some shortcomings, such as hemostasis under the indirect vision.

Objective:To explore the association between urinary stone disease (USD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD).Methods:The study was based on the cross-sectional chronic diseases survey performed in Pinggu district, Beijing from March to May, 2014. All subjects completed a questionnaire, physical examination, renal ultrasound examination to detect USD, ankle-brachial index (ABI) examination to detect PAD (defined as ABI<0.9 on either side of the body), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurement to estimate arterial stiffness. Blood and first morning urine sample were detected for serum creatinine, blood glucose and so on.Results:There were 10 281 participants included in this study. Among these participants, the prevalences of USD and PAD were 5.66% and 3.95%, respectively. Compared with non-stone participants, the persistent USD formers had a higher prevalence of PAD (8.26% vs 3.90%, P<0.001) and baPWV [(16.3±3.5) m/s vs (15.5±3.2) m/s, P<0.001]. Even after adjusting the confounding factors, the persistent USD formers also had a 2.066-fold increased risk of PAD ( OR=2.066, 95% CI 1.276-3.343, P=0.003). In the subgroup analysis, persistent USD patients in older participants who were≥60 years old, women, chronic kidney disease, and central obesity had a significantly increased risk of PAD. Conclusions:In the present population, persistent USD is positively associated with a high risk of PAD and increased arterial stiffness. Patients with persistent USD should be screened for vascular diseases.
