Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of the patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) or cardioembolism (CE) middle cerebral artery M1 segment occlusion, and to explore the difference of endovascular treatment. Methods The patients with AIS caused by M1 segment occlusion, who received endovascular treatment between Sep. 2014 and Feb. 2018 in our hospital, were recruited and assigned to LAA group and CE group. Clinical characteristics, treatment strategy, postoperative hemorrhage rate and prognosis were analyzed. Results Totally 134 patients were included, and 48 patients were in the LAA group and 86 patients were in the CE group. There were significant differences in the gender and age between the LAA and CE groups (male/female 39/9 vs 40/46, χ2＝ 15.363; average age [62.65±9.76] years vs [69.66±12.43] years, t＝－3.371; both P0.05). Compared with the CE group, the proportion of the patients with hypertension was significantly higher, and the National Institutes of Health stroke scale score on admission was significantly lower in the LAA group (70.8% [34/48] vs 51.2% [44/86], χ2＝4.900, P＝0.027; 13 [7, 16] vs 16 [13, 21], Z＝－3.603, P0.001). The proportion of the patients with angioplasty in the LAA group was 52.1% (25/48), which was significantly higher than the proportion in the CE group (4.7% [4/86], χ2＝38.121, P0.01). The incidence of postoperative intracranial hemorrhage was significantly lower in the LAA group than that in the CE gorup (10.4% [5/48] vs 32.6% [28/86], χ2＝8.136, P＝0.004). There were no significant differences in the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, endovascular recanalization rate, or good prognosis rate or mortality 3 months after operation between the two groups (all P0.05). Conclusion Compared with the patients with AIS due to LAA M1 segment occlusion, the CE patients have more severe symptoms and higher postoperative hemorrhage rate after endovascular treatment. The strategy of endovascular treatment is different in the two types of AIS, while there are no differences in prognosis and mortality after treatment.

Objective:To clarify the influence and influence paths of stigma on the time of the healthcare-seeking decision in caregivers of elderly patients with dementia, and to provide a theoretical basis for the construction of corresponding humanistic care strategies.Methods:A total of 176 caregivers of elderly patients with dementia who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and Xuzhou Oriental People ′s Hospital from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the study subjects. The General Information Questionnaire, self-designed Scale of Stigma for Caregivers of Senile dementia patients, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, self-designed Elderly Dementia Caregivers′ Perceived Barriers Scale for Healthcare-seeking Decision, and self-designed Scale of the Intention to Seek Healthcare for caregivers of senile dementia patients were used in the survey. AMOS 20.0 was used to establish a structural equation model for path analysis. Results:The higher the stigma of caregivers, the longer the time of the healthcare-seeking decision ( β=0.05, P<0.05). Social support, perceived barriers to the healthcare-seeking decision, and the intention to seek healthcare were the mediating variables of caregivers ′ stigma affecting the time of the healthcare-seeking decision, with a total effect of -0.04, 0.14, and 0.36, respectively, and all P<0.05. Conclusions:The stigma in caregivers of senile dementia patients is an important factor affecting the time of the healthcare-seeking decision. By improving mediating factors including social support, perceived barriers to the healthcare-seeking decision, and the intention to seek healthcare, the implementations of targeted humanistic care strategies are expected to help shorten the time of the healthcare-seeking decision.

Objective:To explore the application value of Oxford nanopore technologies (ONT) in the diagnosis and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).Methods:A prospective analysis was conducted on 32 patients with PJI admitted to the joint department of Xi'an Honghui Hospital from October 2021 to March 2023, who met the 2018 PJI diagnostic criteria of the American Skeletal Infection Society (MSIS), including 15 males and 17 females with an average age of 63.93±8.93 years. 32 revision patients who did not meet the 2018 MSIS PJI criteria during the same period were collected as controls (non PJI group), including 13 males and 19 females with an average age of 65.53±8.54 years. All patients underwent joint fluid puncture before or during surgery, and the specimens were tested by ONT, metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS), and general microbial culture. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for both groups, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and Youden index of the three detection techniques were calculated and compared to evaluate the detection efficiency of different detection methods in PJI.Results:Among the 32 patients with PJI, 30 were positive for ONT, with a total of 30 pathogenic bacteria detected, and the detection time was 22.37±8.36 h. 31 were positive for mNGS, with a total of 33 bacterial species detected, and the detection time was 46.25±9.36 h. 17 were positive for microbial culture, with a total of 8 bacterial species detected, and the detection time was 96.23±15.62 h. Among the 32 patients with non PJI group, 1 was positive for ONT and 5 were positive for mNGS, with a total of 1 and 3 bacterial species detected, respectively. The results of microbial culture were all negative. The detection time and area under the curve (AUC) of ONT and mNGS were 22.37±8.36 h and 0.953[95% CI (0.901, 1.006)], 46.25±9.36 h and 0.906[95% CI (0.835, 0.977)], respectively, which were better than those of microbial culture 96.23±15.62 h and 0.766[95% CI (0.678, 0.853)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The sensitivity of ONT, mNGS, and microbial culture were 0.938, 0.969, and 0.531, respectively, and the specificity was 0.969, 0.844, and 1.000, respectively. The Jordan index was 0.906, 0.813, and 0.531, respectively. Conclusion:ONT testing has higher diagnostic efficacy than mNGS and microbial culture in the diagnosis of PJI, and also has advantages in detection time. It also suggests that some PJI are not caused by a single microbial infection.

Objective:To summarize the cost of basic community public health service in Chinese community for the period 2009 to 2016 and to provide suggestions for the formulation of the compensatory policy and work in-struction in each region.Methods: The literature search conducted on Chinese literature database(including CNKI, VIP, Wan Fang) from the period of 2009 to 2016.The literature was analyzed with the help of NoteExpress managing Literatures,and the relevant papers and their references were comparatively analyzed by using Microsoft excel 2007. Results:There were a total of 817 relevant articles,of which,48 were included in this study and 19 with detailed re-search results.For the 48 articles,41.7% adopted full costing method and 20.8% used activity-based costing meth-od,54.2% using six-item screener. More research of cost estimation applied to current evaluation of public health service in community,the results of cost estimation showed that the cost of basic community public health service per capita was significantly different among the studies in the period of 2009to2011 (20.9 RMB to 95 RMB).The man-power cost was the main cost of basic community public health service(between 56.59% and 74.9%).Conclusions:Further exploration and research on the cost estimation of national basic community public health service in China re-quires to be performed,and the cost estimation methods are supposed to improve in practice.

AIM:To investigate the effects of baicalein on pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)induced by monocrotaline(MCT)in rats,and its molecular mechanism was further explored.METHODS: Male SD rats(n=28) were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, MCT group, MCT+baicalein 50 mg/kg group and MCT +baicalein 100 mg/kg group.The PAH model was established by subcutaneous injection of MCT.After 2 weeks of modeling,the rats in baicalein treatment groups were gavaged baicalein 50 and 100 mg· kg -1· d-1for 14 d,the rats in control group were administered with saline.After 4 weeks of modeling,right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP),right ventricular hypertro-phy index(RVHI)and right ventricular mass index(RVMI)were detected.Masson staining was used to detect the degree of lung fibrosis.The pathomorphological changes of the pulmonary vessels were observed by HE staining.Western blot was used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in the lung tissue and the phosphorylation p 38,ERK and JNK in the artery.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,RVSP, RVHI and RVMI increased significantly in the MCT group(P<0.01).Pulmonary fibrosis and the thickening of pulmonary artery wall were observed.α-SMA was up-regulated and p38,ERK and JNK was activated significantly(P<0.01).Compared with the MCT group,baicalein(50 and 100 mg/kg)significantly decreased the RVSP,RVHI and RVMI(P<0.01).Lung fibrosis was reduced and the vas-cular wall thickening was decreased in baicalein-treated groups.Baicalein(50 and 100 mg/kg)inhibited the phosphoryla-tion of p38,ERK and JNK compared with the MCT group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Baicalein ameliorates MCT-in-duced PAH by the inhibition of pulmonary artery wall thickening at least partially via MAPK signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the effect of baicalein on the reversal of multidrug resistance ( MDR) media-ted by breast cancer resistance protein ( BCRP) in hu-man breast cancer MCF-7/MX cells, and explore the possible mechanisms. Methods MTT assay was per-formed to determine the cytotoxicity of baicalein and susceptibility of chemotherapeutic drugs. The protein expression levels of BCRP, p-p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 were determined by Western blot. Results MCF-7/MX cells were not only resistant to MX but cross-re-sistant to 5-FU and DDP, and the resistance index was 70. 45, 6. 68 and 21. 47, respectively. 2. 5, 5μmol· L-1 of baicalein could increase the sensitivity to above chemotherapeutic agents and decrease the expression levels of BCRP, p-p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 in MCF-7/MX cells. Conclusion Baicalein can effec-tively reverse MDR of MCF-7/MX by down-regulating BCRP expression through p38/MAPK and NF-κB path-ways.

Objective To discuss the microsurgical skills of management of acoustic neuroma and the protection of facial nerve. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight patients with acoustic neuroma, admitted to our hospital from August 2002 to December 2010, received microsurgery through suboccipital retrosigmoid approach. Under intraoperative electromyography (EMG) monitoring, the facial nerve was separated sharply from both sides, and the tumors were removed by alternate intracapsular excision and capsule wall excision. The microsurgical skill and the method of protection of facial nerve were evaluated retrospectively. Results Total resection was performed in 149 cases (88.69％), partial resection in 19 cases (11.31％). Facial nerve was protected in 146 cases (86.9％) during the operation. Two patients were dead shortly after the surgery. The facial nerve functions were evaluated 6 months after the surgery: 91 (54.26％) belonged to grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅱ, and 52 (30.95％) belonged to grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ, while 52 (14.89％) belonged to grade Ⅴ and grade Ⅵ according to House-Brackmann grade. Conclusion The microsurgical removal of acoustic neuroma through suboccipital retrosigmoid approach is safe and effective. The intraoperative electromyography monitoring could improve the reservation rate of facial nerve. Skilled microsurgical technique is the key to the total removal of acoustic minor and the protection of facial nerve.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated by histological prostatitis.

METHODSThis study included 432 cases of BPH pathologically confirmed after TURP. Excluding those with LUTS-related factors before and after surgery and based on the international prostatitis histological classification of diagnostic criteria, the remaining 144 cases were divided into groups A (pure BPH, n = 30), B (mild inflammation, n = 55), C (moderate inflammation, n = 31), and D (severe inflammation, n = 28). Each group was evaluated for LUTS by IPSS before and a month after surgery.

RESULTSA total of 399 cases (92.4%) were diagnosed as BPH with histological prostatitis, 269 (67.4%) mild, 86 (21.6%) moderate and 44 (11.0%) severe. The preoperative IPSS was 21.43 +/- 6.09 in group A, 21.75 +/- 5.97 in B, 27.84 +/- 4.18 in C and 31.00 +/- 2.92 in D, with statistically significant differences among different groups (P < 0.001) except between A and B (P = 1.000); the postoperative IPSS was 5.60 +/- 2.16 in A, 7.36 +/- 2.77 in B, 11.55 +/- 3.39 in C and 16.89 +/- 3.37 in D, with statistically significant differences among different groups (P < 0.01), and remarkably lower than the preoperative one (P < 0.001). Almost all the infiltrating inflammatory cells in BPH with histological prostatitis were lymphocytes.

CONCLUSIONBPH is mostly complicated with histological chronic prostatitis. The severity of LUTS is higher in BPH patients with histological prostatitis than in those without before and after TURP, and positively correlated with the grade of inflammation. Those complicated with moderate or severe histological prostatitis should take medication for the management of LUTS.
