Objective To investigate the improving efficacy of hospital -family bed nursing model on pa-tients with post -stroke depression.Methods 80 patients with post -stroke depression were randomly divided into two groups,40 cases in each group.In -hospital comprehensive rehabilitation intervention was applied in the control group,while comprehensive rehabilitation intervention of hospital -family bed was conducted in the observation group.Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)was adopted to evaluate the depressive condition before and after inter-vention.Non -conditional logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the correlation between the patients'age, sex,scores before intervention,hospital -family bed nursing model and the improvement level of HAMD scores. Results The HAMD scores after nursing intervention in observation group and control group were significantly decreased [(control group from (29.57 ±5.69)points to (19.22 ±7.21)points,t =10.329,P =0.000;observation group from (28.60 ±4.12)points to (12.02 ±5.81)points,t =14.302,P =0.000)].After intervention,HAMD score in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (t =0.786,P =0.000).The effective rate of the observation group was higher than the control group(97.5% vs.70.0%,χ2 =11.114,P =0.001).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed scores before intervention (95%CI:0.788 -0.995,P =0.040)and hospital -family bed nursing model (95%CI:2.501 -23.309,P =0.000)were the independent factors of the reduction of HAMD score.Conclusion Rehabilitation nursing using hospital -family bed nursing model has a markedly effect on patients with post -stroke depression and it deserves the clinical expansion.

Objective To evaluate the potential influencing factors associated with pathologic complete response ( pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer ( LARC) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data 265 patients with stageⅡandⅢ( the 7th version of AJCC) rectal cancer admitted to our hospital from 2011 to 2013. All patients underwent neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( CCRT ) followed by surgery with/or without induction chemotherapy during the interval between the complete of CCRT and surgery. The predictors associated with pCR were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. With the use of the independent predictive variables for pCR from multivariate analysis, a clinical risk score model was established according to the following criteria:no?risk group (0 factor);low?risk group (1 factor);high?risk group ( 2 factors) . Results Among these 265 patients, 50( 18. 9%) achieved pCR. The univariate analysis showed that carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) level before CCRT ( P=0. 017) , T stage before CCRT ( P=0. 001), interval between complete of CCRT and surgery (P=0. 000), and the maximum tumor thickness before CCRT ( P=0. 040) were significantly associated with pCR. The multivariate analysis showed that pre?CCRT CEA level ( P=0. 021 or 0. 446) and interval between the complete of CCRT and surgery ( P=0. 000 or 3. 774) were significant predictors of pCR. When stratifying for smoking status, only low pre?CCRT CEA level was significantly associated with pCR in the non?smoking patients ( P=0. 044) . For the prediction of pCR by the clinical risk score model, the sensitivity was 0. 805, the specificity was 0. 460, the area under the receiver operating curve was 0. 690 ( 95% CI= 0. 613?0. 767 ) , the positive predictive value was 35 . 4 9%, the negative predictive value was 8 6 . 5%, and the predictive accuracy was 7 3 . 9%. Conclusions For locally advanced rectal cancer, pCR can be achieved in some patients after neoadjuvant therapy. Low pre?CCRT CEA level and long interval time between CCRT and surgery are independent factors associated with pCR, and only low pre?CCRT CEA level is an associated factor in the group of nonsmokers. The clinical risk score model based on pre?CCRT CEA level>5 ng/ml and time interval from CCRT completion to surgery≤8 weeks can be used to predict pCR after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for LARC.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric performance of two algorithms for correcting the presence of tissue inhomogeneities,the finite site pencil beam (FSPB) and X-ray voxel Monte Carlo (XVMC) plans were implemented in the MONACO system,with the accuracy of application to clinic treatment of two algorithms were evaluated.Methods In a non-uniform artificial anthropomorphic phantom,regular open fields and intensity modulation radiated therapy (IMRT) plans of the MONACO were measured by using calibrated EBT2 films,and the dose accuracy of the two kinds of plans was analyzed by comparing the planned and measured plane dose.Results In an anthropomorphic phantom,the deviations between the calculated values by XVMC and the measured values by films were less than ± 2％.While the deviations of FSPB values between calculation and measurements was within ± 3％,except at the condition of 15 MV,10 cm ×2 cm field,the dose error in lung was up to 6.51％.The verification of individual IMRT beams based on films showed that the pass rates of calculation by XVMC and FSPB were larger than 90％ with γ criterion of 3％/3 mm and 4％/4 mm,respectively.At 3％/3 mm,the pass rates of FSPB were in the range of 80％-90％.At the same time,the pass rates of all individual fields were higher than 90％.Conclusions The accuracy of dose calculation of XVMC is better than that of FSPB when being in multi-segments and non-uniform media.The error of algorithm can be controlled within ±3％,for the calculation by XVMC.And the dose deficiency of PTV arising from algorithm can be avoided.

Objective To investigate the discriminant analysis model of gray-scale ultrasound (GSUS),contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and the combination of them in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid lesions and the diagnostic values.Methods Ultrasound images of 211 thyroid lesions confirmed by pathology were synthetically reviewed by scoring 5 GSUS indicators including shape (X1),orientation (X2),interior echogenicity (X3),halo sign (X4),and microcalcification (X5),as well as 6 CEUS indicators including relative arrival time of microbubhles in the periphery (X6) and interior (X7),peak periphery (X8) and interior (X9)echogenicity,peripheral ring-enhancement (X10),homogeneity of enhancement (X11).The diagnostic models with their values of GSUS,CEUS and the combination of them were explored by discriminant analysis.Results The discriminant analysis function of GSUS in the diagnosis of thyroid benign and malignant lesions was g1 (X) =0.715 X1+0.276X2 + 1.028X3 +1.197X4 +0.923X5-2.202 with the diagnostic value 86.3％,the discriminant analysis function of CEUS was g2(X) =-0.392X6 +0.541X7-0.117X8 +0.562X9 + 1.173X10 +2.200X11-1.956 with the diagnostic value 89.1％,and the discriminant analysis function of the combination of GSUS and CEUS was g3 (X) =0.418X1 + 0.173X2 + 0.626X3 + 0.558X4 + 0.183X5-0.476X6 + 0.474X7-0.071X8 + 0.399X9 + 0.985X10 +1.639X11-2.530 with the diagnostic value 91.0％.Conclusions GSUS and CEUS were valuable in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid lesions,and the combination of GSUS and CEUS was most valuable.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ES-WT)on typeⅢB chronic prostatitis. Methods A total of 90 patients with CP/CPPS in our department from June 2015 to February 2017 were collected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups ,each with 45 cases. The control group was treated with hyperthermia. The experimental group was treated with ESWT. Both two groups were treated for 2 courses. Following parameters were collected after two groups were treated for 2 courses:chronic prostatitis symptom score (NIH-CPSI),the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS),the content changes in prostate fluid IL-8,TNF-alpha,IL-1 beta,lecithin and the content change of urine IL-8,TNF-alpha, IL-6. Results After 2 courses of treatment,compared with the control group,the overall efficiency of experimen-tal group was increased(91.11%vs. 66.67%,P<0.05). NIH-CPSI(13.12 ± 1.71 vs. 18.16 ± 1.33,P<0.05)and IPSS(8.03 ± 1.78 vs. 13.04 ± 1.89,P<0.05)scores were decreased. In terms of inflammatory,compared with the control group,in the experimental group,the content of lecithin body was significantly increased. The levels of inflammatory factors IL-8、TNF-α、IL-1βwere significantly decreased in the prostatic fluid and urine. Conclusion ESWT is safe and effective in the treatment of type ⅢB prostatitis ,which may be caused by reducing the local inflammatory response in the prostate.

Objective:Analyze the cancer screening status of the cancer screening program in urban areas in Shaanxi province in 2019-2020.Methods:The early diagnosis and early treatment project for urban cancers carried out high-risk population screening for 5 types of high-incidence malignant tumors (breast cancer, lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer) in urban areas. Three prefecture-level cities in Shaanxi province with a population of over 1 million (Xi'an, Baoji, and Shangluo) were selected, and 4 communities with a relatively good working foundation were selected in each city. The general population aged 45-74 years was surveyed on the principles of informed consent and voluntariness, and high-risk groups identified through the questionnaire were further subjected to free endoscopy, ultrasound, CT, and other clinical screenings. The high-risk rates, screening compliance rates, and positive detection rates of the above 5 types of malignant tumors were analyzed.Results:A total of 19 632 people completed the survey effectively, with the proportion of male participants (40.0%) lower than that of females (60.0%). A total of 10 102 high-risk groups were identified, with an initial screening high-risk rate of 51.5%, and the high-risk rates for the 5 types of cancers were 24.1% for breast cancer, 28.6% for lung cancer, 9.1% for upper gastrointestinal cancer, 4.0% for liver cancer, and 20.0% for colorectal cancer. Among the 14 960 person-time initially assessed as high-risk, 5 129 person-time received clinical screening, with a screening compliance rate of 34.3%. The number of people receiving clinical screening and the screening compliance rates for the 5 types of cancers were 1 192 (41.9%) for breast cancer, 2 081 (37.1%) for lung cancer, 574 (32.0%) for upper gastrointestinal cancer, 404 (51.3%) for liver cancer, and 878 (22.3%) for colorectal cancer, with positive detection numbers and rates of 179 (15.0%) for breast, 289 (13.9%) for lung, 9 (1.6%) for upper gastrointestinal, 14 (3.5%) for suspected liver, and 67 (7.6%) for colorectal, respectively.Conclusion:The cancer screening status of the cancer screening program in urban areas in Shaanxi province is beneficial for the detection of precancerous lesions and early cancer patients, and improving the early diagnosis and treatment rate of patients, but the public participation rate is not high, and the project management model and technical plan need to be further improved.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the levels and influencing factors of phthalate internal exposure in pregnant women (gestation age ≤ 16 weeks).

METHODSDuring April to June in 2013, 1 020 pregnant women (gestation age ≤ 16 weeks) who had established the maternal care manual were recruited in maternal and child health hospital of Siming District, Xiamen city. Participators were asked to complete a questionnaire to obtain information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, and antenatal examination and to provide a urine sample. Finally, 998 pregnant women who provided a urine sample and completed the questionnaire were enrolled. Adopting systematic sampling method, 100 ones were selected randomly among 998 pregnant women. High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandern mass was used to determine the concentration of five phthalate monoesters in each urine, including mono-n-methyl phthalate (MMP), mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP). Based on the measurements and questionnaire data, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the phthalate monoester levels and potential influential factors.

RESULTSThe detection rates of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP in 100 pregnant urine samples were 94%, 93%, 87%, 83%, 99%, respectively. And the urinary median uncorrected concentrations of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP in 100 urine samples were 20.56, 17.62, 10.15, 2.03, and 5.12 ng/ml, respectively. Specific gravity-corrected concentration were 20.81, 20.36, 12.88, 2.58, 5.00 ng/ml, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that: education degree was negatively associated with urinary concentration of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP, OR (95% CI) were 0.495 (0.253-0.966), 0.380 (0.191-0.755), 0.379 (0.186-0.774), 0.401 (0.196-0.819), 0.373(0.183-0.762), respectively. Participants who had hair permed and dyed during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MBP and MBzP, OR (95% CI) were 12.867 (1.240-133.525), 15.982 (1.367-186.911), respectively; Participants who use cosmetics during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MEP and MBP, OR (95% CI) were 2.977 (1.012-8.757), 4.440 (1.485-13.272), respectively; plastic bottled water consumption was positively associated with urinary concentrations of MEP and MEHP, OR (95% CI) were 3.780 (1.417-10.083), 2.699 (1.039-7.010), respectively; annual household income was negatively associated with urinary concentration of MMP, OR (95% CI) was 0.597 (0.372-0.959); individuals who took medications during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MEHP than non-takers, OR (95% CI) was 4.853 (1.084-21.732).

CONCLUSIONPregnant women whose gestation age was less than 16 weeks are generally exposed to phthalate. Phthalate internal exposure levels are significantly associated with most measured factors and the influencing factors with different phthalates internal exposure levels are different.

Objective To understand the association between peripheral leukocytes telomere length (TL) and sleep in middle-aged and old adults.Methods A total of 176 middle-aged and old adults were investigated by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and questionnaire.TL was measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The correlation and regression analysis between sleep and telomere length was performed.Results TL had a mean T/S ratio of 0.995 ± 0.23.There was a negative correlation between TL and age (r=-0.241,P=0.003).With increasing age,sleep quality became worse (r=-0.230,P＜0.01),the time to fall asleep became longer (r=0.227,P＜0.01),sleep duration was shorter (r=-0.486,P＜0.01),sleep efficiency became worse (r=-0.226,P＜0.01).After controlling for the effects of gender,age,marital status,income level,residence,smoking,drinking,physical exercise and disease status,multiple linear regression analysis indicated that sleep quality (β3=0.057,P＜0.01),time to fall asleep (β =-0.046,P＜0.01),sleep duration (β3=0.086,P＜0.01) were independent influencing factors of telomere length,suggesting that the people who had better sleep quality,the shorter time to fall asleep,the longer sleep time would have longer telomere length.Conclusions Sleep is a relevant factor affecting TL in middle-aged and elderly population.Good sleep may delay aging by slowing TL.We encourage to conduct health education about the importance of sleep quality in community.

Objective To analyze the effect of the new conformal index(nCI)and the conventional conformal index(CI)on the treament planning quality of lung stereotopic radiotherapy(SBRT).Methods A total of 19 peripheral lung cancer patients,treated with SBRT in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from 2014 to 2017,were analyzed retrospectively.Each patient was planned twice yielding identical CI and nCI.The prescription to 95％of planning target volume(PTV)was 48 Gy in four fractions,and renormalization was performed when needed for nineteen nCI plans.The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to examine the dosimetric index.Results The dose conformity plots indicate that nCI does not only reflect the dose to the organ at risk outside tumor,but also represents the dose distribution in the PTV.In addition,nCI was stricter with treatment planning qualities when the dose around PTV was closer to the prescribed dose.The value of target coverage(TC),the ratio of out-of-target volumes receiving 105％prescribed dose to the target volume(R105％),the ratio of volume covered by 50％isodose line to the target volume(R50％),and the ipsilateral lung V20were 98.70％,0.56,5.53,15.59％in the CI plans,vs.90％,0,4.99,14.42％in the corresponding nCI plans,respectively.All index were significantly lower in the nCI group(Z ＝-3.823,-3.180,-3.823,-3.783,respectively,P＜0.05).The ratio of the maximum dose to the 2 cm external margin from the PTV(D2 cm)to the maximum dose to the PTV were 63.70％and 64.07％respectively in the two groups,and the differences were not statistially significant(P＞0.05).The conformity values denoted a clinically favorable value as 1 between D95％and D99％of nCI plans,yet were not applicable to CI plans.Conclusions It is more clinically relavant to evaluate lung SBRT plans using nCI,TC and other indicators collectively than using CI alone.
