Objective: To evaluate the influence of happiness therapy intervention on the medication compliance and quality of life of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients after discharge. Methods: A total of 106 adult AIDS patients discharged from hospital from July 2016 to July 2017 were randomly divided into control group (52 cases), observation group (54 cases). The control group was given routine health education and instruction, and three times of happiness therapy intervention were performed during the hospitalization. The observation group increased the number of happiness therapy intervention after discharge according to the patient′s medication compliance. The medication compliance scale and quality of life scale were used to evaluate the compliance rate and quality of life of patients in 2 groups at discharge, 3 months after discharge, 6 months after discharge, and 12 months after discharge. Results: There was no significant difference in medication compliance and quality of life at discharge and 3 months after discharge between the two groups (P>0.05). At 6 months and 12 months after discharge, the compliance rate and quality of life scores in the observation group was 90.74%(49/54), 88.89%(46/54) and (69.62 ± 5.82) points, (68.76 ± 5.63) points, respectively, 61.54% (32/52), 59.62% (31/52) and (52.12 ± 4.30) points, (52.05 ± 4.25) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ²=9.684, 9.035, t=8.638, 8.963, P<0.01). Conclusions The happiness therapy intervention during hospitalization can effectively improve the medication compliance and quality of life of AIDS patients. After the discharge, the happiness therapy intervention can provide the patients with long-term nursing programs, which can improve the adherence and quality of life of AIDS patients compared with the control group Have a better long-term effect.

Objective The three-dimensional finite element model of the normal ankle joint was established to simulate the changes of stress and displacement under stress from different directions and of different magnitudes so as to provide a theoretical basis for the biomechanical mechanism of the ankle joint injury.Methods Spiral CT scan was performed on the left ankle of a 30 year old healthy male volunteer to obtain the original CT image data.The three-dimensional digital model of ankle joint generated by Mimics and Geomagic softwares was imported into the software Ansys.The three-dimensional finite element model of ankle joint with complete anatomical structure was obtained after the main steps of meshing,central node,element linking and module loading using finite element method.Stress from different directions and of different magnitudes were loaded unto the model.The stress changes were measured by foot stress distribution measurement system.The stress changes,displacement change distribution,the stress peak value of heel are,metatarsal stress,and plantar contact stress area as well as the maximum,minimum,and contact are of the tibial articular surface contact stress were compared between the finite element model and the volunteer himself to verify the consistency.Results For the finite element model of normal ankle joint,the plantar peak stress was [(0.33 ± 0.10) MPa],the metatarsal stress was [(0.13 ± 0.21)MPa],the foot contact stress area was [(78.60 ±0.32)mm2],the tibial articular surface maximum contact stress was [(2.72 ± 0.10) MPa],the minimum contact stress was [(1.35 ±0.12)MPa],and the contact stress area was [(79.1 ± 0.14)mm2].For the volunteer,double foot plantar peak stress was [(0.35 ± 0.12)MPa],the metatarsal stress [(0.13 ±0.16)MPa],the foot contact stress area was [(77.3 ± 0.42)mm2],the tibial articular surface maximum contact stress was [(2.79 ± 0.23) MPa],the minimum contact stress was [(1.37 ± 0.20) MPa],and the contact stress area was [(79.10 ±0.14)mm2] (P ＜0.05).Therefore,the three finite element model of ankle joint was basically consistent with the real human ankle joint because of the similiar distribution,trend,and values.Conclusion The three-dimensional finite element model of normal ankle joint can objectively reflect the anatomical structure and biomechanical characteristics of the joint,which is of great value to understand the changes of the internal mechanics and ankle joint injury.

The incidence of in-hospital death in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is high, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients. At present, many countries and regions have established a variety of objective assessment models for predicting the in-hospital mortality of patients with AMI, providing important decision-making support for patients with different risk levels when formulating treatment plans. With the rise of artificial intelligence, many new modeling methods also show certain advantages over the traditional models. This article systematically introduces the commonly used and newly constructed risk prediction models for in-hospital mortality of AMI, in order to provide help for medical staff to assist decision-making in clinical practice, and provide reference for the establishment of a safe and more effective risk prediction model in the future.

Objective:To illustrate the effect and mechanism of ibrutinib,a Bruton's tyrosine kinase(BTK)inhibitor that inhibits diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)cell survival.Methods:DLBCL cell lines SUDHL-10 and HBL-1 were treated with ibrutinib at different concentrations.A MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition of cell proliferation.Cell apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V-binding assay,as well as flow cytometry and DAPI staining.The expression of phosphorylated BTK,AKT and ERK was detected by Western blot. DLBCL cells were co-cultured with MSC.The inhibitory effect of ibrutinib on DLBCL cells in tumor microenvironment was assessed in clonogenicity in vitro and in a tumor-bearing non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice in vivo.Results:Up to 2.5 μmol/L and high concentrations of ibrutinib significantly inhibited the proliferation of DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner.Approx-imately 1 and 2.5 μmol/L ibrutinib was added on SUDHL-10 cells for 24 h,and the cell apoptotic rates were(21.73±3.64)% and(34.71± 2.36)%,respectively.Both were superior to that of the control group(3.55±1.89)%(P<0.05).Both two DLBCL cell lines pretreated with 5 and 10 μmol/L ibrutinib for 24 h and exhibited nuclear shrinkage at 5 μmol/L and nuclear fragmentation at 10 μmol/L.The expres-sion of phosphorylated BTK,AKT,and ERK decreased significantly after ibrutinib treatment.Ibrutinib inhibited clonogenicity in vitro(P<0.01)and cell proliferation and growth in vivo of DLBCL cells in co-culture system.The differences were statistically significant.Conclu-sion:Ibrutinib can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of SUDHL-10 and HBL-1 cell lines through a mechanism of blocking the AKT and ERK signaling pathways,as well as the proliferation of DLBCL cells in tumor microenvironment.This finding can significant-ly benefit DLBCL treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and early effectiveness of computer-simulated osteotomy based on the health-side combined with guide plate technique in the treatment of cubitus varus deformity in adolescents. METHODS: The clinical data of 23 patients with cubitus varus deformity who met the selection criteria between June 2019 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 6 females, ranging in age from 4 to 16 years with an average of 8.5 years. The time from injury to operation was 1-4 years. The angle of distal humerus rotation was defined by humeral head posterior inclination angle using low radiation dose CT to scan the patient's upper extremity data at one time, and the preoperative rotation of the distal humerus on the affected side was (33.82±4.39)°. The CT plain scan data were imported into 9yuan3D digital orthopaedic system (V3.34 software) to reconstruct three-dimensional images of both upper extremities. The simulated operation was performed with the healthy upper extremity as the reference, the best osteotomy scheme was planned, overlapped and compared, and the osteotomy guide plate was prepared. The patients were followed up regularly after operation, and the formation of callus in the osteotomy area was observed by X-ray examination. Before and after operation, the carrying angle of both upper extremities (the angle of cubitus valgus was positive, and the angle of cubitus varus was negative) and anteversion angle were measured on X-ray and CT images. At the same time, the flexion and extension range of motion of elbow joint and the external rotation range of motion of upper extremity were measured, and Mayo score was used to evaluate the function of elbow joint. RESULTS: The operation time ranged from 34 to 46 minutes, with an average of 39 minutes. All patients were followed up 5-26 months, with a mean of 14.9 months. All the incisions healed by first intention after the operation; 2 patients had nail path irritation symptoms after Kirschner wire fixation, which improved after dressing change; no complication such as breakage and loosening of internal fixators occurred after regular X-ray review. Continuous callus formed at the osteotomy end at 4 weeks after operation, and the osteotomy end healed at 8-12 weeks after operation. At last follow-up, the carrying angle, anteversion angle, external rotation range of motion, and extension and flexion range of motion of the elbow joint of the affected side significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). Except for the extension range of motion of the healthy elbow joint ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in other indicators between the two sides ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the Mayo elbow score was 85-100, with an average of 99.3; 22 cases were excellent, 1 case was good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. CONCLUSION Computer-simulated osteotomy based on health-side combined with guide plate technique for treating cubitus varus deformity in adolescents can achieve precise osteotomy, which has the advantages of short operation time and easy operation, and the short-term effectiveness is satisfactory.
