Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided early removal of indwelling catheter on recovery quality and catheter-related infection of patients with general anesthesia in post anesthesia recovery unit (PACU).Methods:From September 2019 to April 2020, 146 patients with gynecological benign diseases who underwent hysteroscopic surgery in the Department of Anesthesiology, Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University were selected prospectively and randomly divided into two groups, with 4 cases excluded. The function of the bladder was evaluated by ultrasound in the anesthesia recovery room after operation. In the ultrasound group, 71 patients had no abnormality, and the catheter was removed after the residual urine of the bladder was drained. 71 patients in the control group were normal, and the catheter was removed 24 hours after operation. The residual urine volume, urine retention, incidence of restlessness, urinary tract infection rate, time to first walking and hospital stay were observed in the two groups after the first bladder emptying.Results:The incidence of agitation in PACU was 7.0%(5/71) in the ultrasound group and 22.5%(16/71) in the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01); the first postoperative walking time in the ultrasound group and the control group was statistically significant [(10.5±4.1)h vs (18.9±6.5)h, P<0.05]; the postoperative hospital stay in the ultrasound group and the control group was statistically significant [(3.2±1.3)d vs (5.1±2.5)d, P<0.05]. The incidence of urinary tract infection and urinary tract irritationin in ultrasound group was significantly lower than that in control group (1.4% vs 9.8%, 1.4% vs 14.0%, P<0.05). Conclusions:For uncomplicated patients after gynecological laparoscopic surgery, ultrasound evaluation of bladder function, extraction of residual urine immediately after the removal of catheter, is more conducive to the early recovery of patients than 24 hours after the removal of catheter.

Objective: To prepare a nanoprobe, anti-human melanoma ganglioside single chain variable fragment (GD/ScFvMEL) antibody conjugated with CdTe quantum dot, and to observe its ability to specifically bind human malignant melanoma cells. Methods: The GD/ScFvMEL gene was cloned into pET32a (+), and the plasmid was then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for GD/ScFvMEL protein antibody expression. The expressed GD/ScFvMEL antibody was purified by denaturing method and further refolded by modified dialysis method. The purified GD/ScFvMEL antibody was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe was prepared by conjugating GD/ScFvMEL antibody with CdTe quantum dot, and its specificity was observed by incubating with MGC-803 cells and melanoma A375 cells. Results: The recombinant pET32a-GD/ScFvMEL was constructed and confirmed by PCR, restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. The proportion of expressed GD/ScFvMEL antibody in total bacteria proteins was about 40% as detected by SDS-PAGE. The purified- and refolded-GD/ScFvMEL antibody was effectively conjugated with CdTe quantum dot, and the resulting GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe was successfully prepared. The GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe could specifically bind melanoma A375 cells, but could not bind stomach cancer MGC-803 cells. Conclusion: We have successfully prepared an anti-human melanoma ganglioside single-chain antibody-CdTe quantum dot nanoprobe, which can specifically bind melanoma cells.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is an important mental complication of stroke, affecting nearly 1/3 of stroke patients, seriously affecting patients' functional recovery and quality of life, and is associated with increased mortality of stroke patients. Traditional antidepressant treatments include medication and psychotherapy, but there may be problems with adverse reactions, tolerance, or limited effectiveness. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a non-invasive neuroregulatory technique, offers a new treatment option for patients with PSD. This article reviews the application of rTMS in the treatment of PSD and its possible mechanism.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of serum ficolin-3 (FCN3) in breast cancer patients and its relationship with prognosis.Methods:A total of 145 patients with breast cancer (the breast cancer group) who were treated in Boao Evergrande International Hospital from February 2014 to February 2016 and 148 healthy women during the same period (the healthy control group) were selected. The level of FCN3 was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the serum carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) level of the two groups was detected by using automatic electrochemiluminescence immunoassay; the diagnostic value of serum FCN3 for breast cancer was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The relationship between the level of serum FCN3 and the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze and compare the 3-year overall survival rate of breast cancer patients with different serum FCN3 levels.Results:Serum FCN3 level in breast cancer group was (14.1±3.4) μg/ml, which was higher than that in the healthy control group [(9.1±3.0) μg/ml], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 13.644, P < 0.01). The serum CA153 level in breast cancer group was (36.3±15.2) U/ml, which was higher than that in the healthy control group [(16.8±6.9) U/ml], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 14.397, P < 0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) of serum FCN3 and CA153 for the diagnosis of breast cancer was 0.894 and 0.720, respectively. The AUC of combined detection of serum FCN3 and CA153 for the diagnosis of breast cancer was 0.909, which was higher than that of CA153 alone ( Z = 2.050, P = 0.040), but compared with FCN3 alone, the difference was not statistically significant ( Z = 0.157, P = 0.875). Serum FCN3 level in stage Ⅲ breast cancer patients was higher than that in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients, and serum FCN3 level in stage Ⅱ patients was higher than that in stage Ⅰ patients (all P < 0.05). The breast cancer patients with lymph node metastasis had higher serum FCN3 level compared with those patients without lymph node metastasis ( P < 0.05). The 3-year overall survival rate of breast cancer patients in the low-level FCN3 group (≤12.07 μg/ml) was higher than that in the high-level group (>12.07 μg/ml) ( P = 0.033). Conclusion:Serum FCN3 is up-regulated in breast cancer patients, which is expected to be a potential index for diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the efficacy and safety of colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs in the treatment of T2DM, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment of T2DM. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, CJFD, VIP and Wanfang database during database establishement-Jul. 2019, randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the efficacy and safety of colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs (trial group) vs. placebo or other hypoglycemic drugs (control group) in the treatment of T2DM were collected. After extracting data from clinical studies that met the inclusion criteria, the quality of the studies was evaluated by Cochrane System Evaluator Manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software in respects of the levels HbA1c, FPG, LDL-C, the incidence of total ADR, incidence of hypoglycemia and incidence of gastrointestinal ADR. RESULTS: A total of 11 RCTs were included, involving 2 625 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that HbA1c levels [MD=-0.37, 95%CI(-0.51, -0.22),P<0.001], FPG level [MD=-0.47, 95%CI(-0.88, -0.07), P=0.02] and LDL-C level [MD=-0.38, 95%CI(-0.49, -0.28), P<0.001] in trial group were significantly lower than control group, with statistical significance. In terms of safety, the incidence of total ADR [OR=1.24, 95%CI(1.06, 1.45), P=0.007] and gastrointestinal ADR [OR=1.78,95%CI(1.05, 3.02),P=0.03] in trial group were significantly higher than control group, with statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia [OR=1.03, 95%CI(0.62,1.72),P=0.90]. CONCLUSIONS: Colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs can effectively reduce the levels of HbA1c, FPG and LDL-C in T2DM patients, but attention should be paid to the occurrence of gastrointestinal ADR.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy and establish the risk graph model of pancreatic fistula.Methods:The clinical data of 147 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from Jan. 2018 to Jan. 2021 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Northern Theater Command General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The independent risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula were determined by univariate and multivariate analysis, and the linear graph model for predicting individual pancreatic fistula was drawn. The area under the subject operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the model differentiation, the calibration curve was used to evaluate the model calibration, and finally the clinical application value of the model was evaluated by the clinical decision curve (DCA) .Results:The incidence of pancreatic fistula was 38.1%, including grade B pancreatic fistula in 49 cases and Grade C pancreatic fistula in 7 cases. Univariate analysis showed that operation method, body mass index (BMI), pancreatic texture, pancreatic duct diameter and lesion location were the related factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula. Multivariate analysis showed that BMI>25 kg/m 2, pancreatic soft texture, pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm and non-pancreatic diseases were independent risk factors for postoperative pancreatic fistula. According to the results of multiple factors, a prediction model of the nomogram was drawn, and the area under the subject operating characteristic curve of the model was calculated as AUC=0.792 (95% CI: 0.718-0.867). The calibration curve was drawn through internal verification of re-sampling, and the fitting curve swung around the 45° reference line, showing a high calibration degree; Clinical decision curve (DCA) analysis showed that the threshold probability was between 15% and 75% for maximum net benefit. It had good clinical application value. Conclusions:BMI>25 kg/m 2, soft pancreas, pancreatic duct diameter ≤3 mm and non-pancreatic diseases are independent risk factors for pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The established line graph model has good predictive efficiency and can effectively predict the occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Objective:To develop and evaluate a nomogram prediction model for poor outcome in patients with minor acute ischemic stroke (MIS) at 90 days after onset.Methods:Patients with MIS admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. At 90 days after onset, the modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome evaluation. <2 points were defined as good outcome and ≥2 points were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for poor outcome, and a nomogram prediction model was developed based on these factors. Results:A total of 177 patients with MIS were included, of which 61 (34.46%) had poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (odds ratio [ OR] 3.484, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.378-8.810; P=0.008), diabetes ( OR 2.936, 95% CI 1.301-6.625; P=0.009), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission ( OR 2.936, 95% CI 1.027-1.709; P=0.031) and systolic blood pressure at admission ( OR 1.083, 95% CI 1.053-1.115; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome. The established nomogram prediction model had a C-index of 0.828 and the area under the curve was 0.841 (95% CI 0.778-0.891). The calibration curve fitted well with the ideal curve. The clinical decision curve showed that the model had stronger clinical applicability. Conclusions:Hypertension, diabetes, NIHSS score and systolic blood pressure at admission are independent risk factors for poor outcome of patients with MIS. The nomogram based on the above factors has higher discriminative power and clinical value for predicting poor outcome in patients with MIS.
