Objective To explore the nutritional status of radical gastrectomy patients during the late course of chemotherapy and its main influencing factors, providing reference for the development of targeted nursing intervention. Methods The Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, The Chemotherapy Side Effects of Patients with Gastric Cancer Questionnaire were used to collect clinical data that received complete chemotherapy after radical surgery from September 2014 to March 2016. Results A total of 103 cases finally involved in this study. The incidence of malnutrition in patients during pre-chemotherapy and late course of chemotherapy was 45.63%(47/103) and 73.79%(76/103) respectively, and there was significant difference (χ2=16.97, P<0.05). The nutritional assessment score, the hemoglobin levels and body mass index of patients pre-chemotherapy was (3.64±0.78) points, (124.11± 21.78) g/L, (21.29±2.77) kg/m2 , (8.07±3.75) points, (108.54±11.68) g/L, (20.29±2.68) kg/m2 late course of chemotherapy and there were significant differences(t =-11.74, 6.39, 2.63, all P<0.05). The symptom of depression was at a higher level 65.05%(67/103), patients with anorexia in late course of chemotherapy accounted as much as 75.73%(78/103). Logistic regression analysis showed that educational level, loss of appetite and parenteral nutrition were the main factors which influenced the nutritional status of patients during the late course of chemotherapy. Conclusions With the increase in the number of chemotherapy, the nutritional status of the patient is getting worse. The study suggests medical personnel should pay more attention to the patients with low educational level, give patients and their families targeted diet counseling, correct the mistaken conceptions thus enhance their understanding of dietary knowledge. Strengthening the management of complications during chemotherapy, reducing the adverse factors that affect the patient′s nutritional status to improve the nutritional status of patients.

Objective To investigate and analyze the nutritional knowledge needs and cognitive level of the main family caregivers of patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 208 patients who underwent radical resection of gastric cancer and received complete chemotherapy at the Department of gastrointestinal surgery from September 2015 to February 2017 were selected.Each patient selected 1 family caregivers.A questionnaire survey was conducted among 208 family caregivers, including general information, nutritional knowledge needs questionnaire, nutrition knowledge, attitude and practice and so on. Results The total score of nutrition knowledge, attitude and practice among the family caregivers of patients with gastric cancer was (41.11 ± 9.33) points. The score of nutrition knowledge was (6.26 ± 1.87) points. The score of nutrition attitude was (15.45±4.75) points.The score of nutrition practice was (17.47± 4.45) points .There was a significant positive correlation between nutrition knowledge and attitude(r=0.88, P<0.05), knowledge and practice (r=0.766, P<0.01), attitude and practice (r=0.186, P<0.01) by using Pearson correlation.Family caregivers had a strong demand for nutrition knowledge. 37.5%(78/208) of family caregivers chose to cooperate with doctors and nurses to carry out nutrition knowledge. 51.4%(107/208) of family caregivers preferred bedside individualized guidance. Conclusions Family caregivers have a strong demand for nutrition knowledge,but the nutrition cognition level is poor. Health care providers should strengthen the education on patients and family caregivers' knowledge of nutrition, improve the nutrition knowledge level of caregivers and care ability.

Objective:To investigate the theoretical knowledge level of clinical nurses engaged in enterostomy nursing in secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Henan Province, so as to provide the basis for departments to carry out specialized training and improve the quality of enterostomy special nursing.Methods:On the basis of literature review and expert letter consultation, enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses was formed, including the dimensions of enterostomy special nursing and patient health education. Using the convenient sampling method, clinical nurses who engaged in enterostomy-related nursing work in 39 secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from February to May 2019. The enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses was used to investigate enterostomy specialized knowledge of nurses, and their scores were analyzed by single factor analysis. In this study, a total of 420 tests were issued and 382 valid tests were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.95%.Results:The total score of the enterostomy knowledge test of 382 nurses was (65.80±13.84) , the total score of enterostomy special nursing dimension was (32.17±7.12) , and the total score of patient health education dimension was (33.64±7.66) . 62.83% (240/382) of nurses basically mastered the knowledge of enterostomy. In the enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses, the error rates of prevention and identification of complications, management of complications and clinical selection and application of stoma bag were relatively high. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of the enterostomy knowledge test among nurses of different hospital levels, highest educational background, technical title, working time limit and the time limit of engaging in enterostomy nursing work ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Professional nurses engaged in enterostomy nursing do not have a comprehensive grasp of enterostomy related knowledge, so the departments should pay more attention to special nursing training of enterostomy and improve overall level of enterostomy nursing in the department.

OBJECTIVES:
The results of elastic imaging in evaluating the function and histopathological changes of allogeneic renal transplantation are contradictory, one of the important reasons may be that there are differences in human parameters related to kidney transplantation among individuals. The purpose of this study is to explore the related human body parameters on shear-wave elastography (SWE) effects on quantitative stiffness of graft cortex.
METHODS:
From March 2021 to November 2021, a total of 63 patients with allogeneic kidney transplantation in the Department of Ultrasonography, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, were selected to collect the parameters of two-dimensional, color Doppler and SWE. The subjects were divided into a <20% group and a 20%-30% group according to the variation of cortical hardness measurement. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the differences in relevant human parameters, and Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between relevant human parameters and cortical hardness of transplanted kidney.
RESULTS:
There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, sex, postoperative time, resistance index of interlobar artery, SCr, blood uric acid, ratio of fat layer to muscle layer, and BMI (all P>0.05). Compared with the <20% group, the patients in the 20%-30% group had smaller cortical hardness of the transplanted kidney, greater total distance between the transplanted kidney and the skin surface, and thicker fat layer or muscle layer in front of the transplanted kidney (all P<0.05). The age of patients, the total distance from the transplanted kidney to the skin surface, the thickness of fat layer and muscle layer, the ratio of fat layer to muscle layer, BMI, and the variation of cortical hardness were significantly negatively correlated with the cortical hardness of the transplanted kidney (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Human parameters relevant to kidney transplantation affect the accuracy of SWE in measuring the cortical hardness of the transplanted kidney. It is very important to obtain the highly stabile elastic measurement value and interpret the elastic measurement results according to different levels of human body related parameters in combination with individual conditions.
