Objective:To explore the clinical application of Bushen-Jianpi-Huoxue Decoction combined with western medicine in the treatment of diabetes mellitus with osteoporosis. Methods:A total of 180 patients with diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis in Pudong Hospital from November 2017 to June 2019 who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 90 patients in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, the study group was treated with Bushen-Jianpi-Huoxue Decoction on the basis of the control group, and both groups were treated for 3 months. The TCM symptom scores were performed before and after treatment. Fasting blood glucose (FPG) and serum calcium levels were determined by a fully automated biochemical analyzer, HbAlc levels were determined by glycosylated hemoglobin analyzer, and TNF-α, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and Chemerin levels were determined by a double-antibody sandwich ELISA. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray apparatus and clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate of the study group was 95.6% (86/90), and that of the control group was 76.7% (69/90), where the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=13.425, P<0.01). After treatment, the main symptom, secondary symptom and total score of the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=20.851, 15.365, 27.339, respectively, all Ps<0.01). After treatment, FPG and HbAlc in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=5.287, 10.304, P<0.01), BMD and serum calcium were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t=3.644, 3.964, P<0.01). After treatment, the levels of serum TNF-α (6.30 ± 2.05 pg/m vs. 10.43 ± 3.26 pg/m, t=10.174), MCP-1 (324.38 ± 20.05 pg/ml vs. 411.14 ± 27.67 pg/ml, t=24.087), Chemerin (57.74 ± 8.35 ng/ml vs. 63.34 ± 10.64 ng/ml, t=3.928) in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); IGF-1 (167.79 ± 11.31 μg/L vs. 142.21 ± 9.34 μg/L, t=16.544) were significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Bushen-Jianpi-Huoxue Decoction combined with conventional western medicine therapy can improve the blood glucose level and BMD of patients with diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis, and improve the clinical effect.

Objective:To explore the application of "upgraded single-entry colonoscope training method" in the primary endoscopic training of refresher doctors.Methods:A total of 71 refresher doctors who participated in the primary single endoscopy training in the Endoscopy Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2017 to December 2019 were randomized to two groups: upgraded single-entry endoscopy training group ( n=36) and traditional single-entry endoscopy training group ( n=35). In the first week of training, all the participants learned the basic theory of single-entry enteroscopy insertion. From week 2 to week 11, each doctors of the two groups finally completed 80 to 100 cases of single-entry endoscopy. The upgraded single-entry colonoscopy training group was divided into two stages: "rectum-proximal sigmoid colon" and "descending colon-ileocecal part" with the boundary of descending-sigmoid colon as the dividing point, which was different from the traditional group. At the 12th week, each doctors were assessed by 20 cases of single-entry colonoscopy operation. the success rate of ileocecum insertion, the time to pass through sigmoid colon, the rate of loop formation and the average operation time of successful ileocecum insertion were compared between the two groups. SPSS 26.0 was used for t test or chi-square test. Results:Compared with the traditional single-entry endoscopy training group, the upgraded single-entry endoscopy training group achieved better results in the successful rate of ileocecal insertion (66.8% vs. 59.0%, P=0.005), the time to pass sigmoid colon [(6.05±3.32) min vs. (7.15±3.12) min, P<0.001], the loop rate (35.13% vs. 40.71%, P=0.035), the average operation time of successfully inserting the ileocecal part [(9.01±2.12) min vs. (10.25±3.12) min, P<0.001] and the discomfort response score [(5.19±1.41) vs. (6.70±2.15), P<0.001], with statistical significance between the groups. Conclusion:"Upgraded single-entry endoscopy training method" emphasizes no loop through sigmoid colon, which is more helpful for refresher doctors to master the operation skills of single-entry colonoscopy, shorten the teaching time, and reduce the discomfort of patients, and is suitable for popularization in the teaching.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical prognostic significance of molecular markers with high predictive value for lymph node metastasis (LNM) before operation in gastric cancer (GC).Methods:From January 2013 to December 2015, at Peking University Third Hospital, 85 patients with GC confirmed by preoperative biopsy under gastroendoscopy and receiving radical gastrectomy were selected. Among 85 patients with GC, 34 patients had LNM and the other 51 patients were without LNM. The expression levels of macrophage capping protein G (CapG), tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB), prosperohomeobox protein l (Prox-1), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in preoperative gastric biopsy tissues. Chi-square test was performed to analyze the correlation between the expression of different markers and various clinicopathological characteristics. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to compare the predictive value of different markers on LNM of GC. Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to evaluate the impact of different markers on the prognosis of GC patients.Results:The positive expression rates of CapG, TrkB, Prox-1, MMP-2, VEGF-C and VEGFR3 of the LNM-positive group were higher than those of the LNM-negative group (85.3%, 29/34 vs. 35.3%, 18/51; 76.5%, 26/34 vs. 29.4%, 15/51; 67.6%, 23/34 vs. 11.8%, 6/51; 64.7%, 22/34 vs. 33.3%, 17/51; 61.8%, 21/34 vs. 29.4%, 15/51; 52.9%, 18/34 vs. 23.5%, 12/51, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=20.631, 18.093, 28.342, 8.086, 8.746 and 7.727, all P<0.01). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values and 95% confidence interval ( CI) of CapG, TrkB, Prox-1, MMP-2, VEGF-C and VEGFR3 in predicting LNM of GC before operation were 0.787 (0.687 to 0.880), 0.772 (0.656 to 0.860), 0.761 (0.661 to 0.883), 0.724 (0.618 to 0.830), 0.687 (0.571 to 0.803) and 0.583 (0.452 to 0.715), respectively. Among them, the AUC values of CapG, Prox-1 and TrkB were relatively high. The expression levels of CapG and Prox-1 were correlated with invasion depth and TNM stage of GC ( χ2=4.792, 13.664, 4.204 and 19.948, all P<0.05). And TrkB expression was correlated with TNM stage of GC ( χ2=12.036, P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that the overall survival rates of CapG, TrkB or Prox-1 positive groups were significantly lower than those of CapG, TrkB or Prox-1 negative groups (70.2%, 33/47 vs. 94.7%, 36/38; 70.7%, 29/41 vs. 90.9%, 40/44; 69.0%, 20/29 vs. 87.5%, 49/56, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.820, 4.909 and 4.683, all P<0.05). Conclusions:CapG, TrkB and Prox-1 are markers with relatively high predictive value for LNM of GC, and all of them are correlated with the progression and poor prognosis of GC.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between physical appearance perfectionism, negative body self, fear of negative evaluation and social appearance anxiety in female patients with psoriasis.Methods:A total of 251 female patients with psoriasis in Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Shanghai Jiaotong University from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the subjects. Physical Appearance Perfectionism Scale (PPAS), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNES) and Negetive Physical Self Scale (Npss) were used in the survey. The correlation of negative body self and negative evaluation fear between the appearance perfectionism and social appearance anxiety of female psoriasis patients was analyzed.Results:The score of physical appearance perfectionism was 49.42±5.32, the score of social appearance anxiety was 58.72±6.24, the score of fear of negative evaluation was 30.59±7.21 and the score of negative physical self was 29.21±6.24. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation among physical appearance perfectionism, social appearance anxiety, fear of negative evaluation and negative physical self ( r value was 0.402-0.488, P<0.01). The mediating effect of negative physical self between physical appearance perfectionism and social appearance anxiety was 0.164 (95% CI 0.082-0.227), the mediating effect of negative body self between physical appearance perfectionism and social appearance anxiety was 0.152 (95% CI 0.079-0.214) and the chain mediating effect of fear of negative evaluation and negative physical self was 0.067 (95% CI 0.025-0.108). Conclusions:Female patients with psoriasis have a high level of physical appearance perfectionism, which can directly affect their social anxiety, while fear of negative evaluation and negative physical self indirectly affect the correlation between appearance perfectionism and social appearance anxiety. Psychological intervention measures should be taken to reduce their psychological burden on their own appearance defects and carry out social anxiety and fear.

Objective To understand the current practice status of central venous access device(CVAD)maintenance among intensive care unit(ICU)nurses in secondary and above medical institutions in Shandong province,and to provide a basis for further implementation of effective measures to reduce the incidence of central catheter-related bloodstream infections.Methods The CVAD maintenance practice questionnaire was compiled based on domestic and international evidence related to CVAD maintenance,and a survey was conducted in October 2022 to investigate the status of ICU nurses' CVAD maintenance practice in secondary and above medical institutions in Shandong Province.Results There were 1 492 nurses participated in the survey and 1 461 valid questionnaires were recovered,with a valid recovery rate of 97.92％.The type of CVAD used by the nurses was mainly central venous catheters[92.3％(1349/1461)],and the item with the best assessment at each operation was patency of the catheter[81.1％(1185/1461)],and the worst was the patient's feeling[40.7％(594/1 461)].When assessing catheter patency,[59.8％(873/1 461)]of nurses drew back blood into the catheter.In the use of infusion connectors,three-way connectors[76.0％(1 110/1 461)]and heparin caps[62.3％(910/1 461)]were most frequently used.When sterilizing needleless connectors,most nurses could follow the correct range of disinfection,but the time of disinfection needed to be extended,and the most used items for disinfection were povidone-iodine cotton balls/swabs[44.3％(647/1 461)].The timing of changing infusion connectors needs to be standardized.Most nurses would choose saline for catheter flushing,and the number of nurses choosing saline versus heparinized saline when locking the catheter was about 50％.Most nurses can use correct size syringes and follow standardized techniques for flushing and locking.When performing CVAD maintenance,84.7％(1 237/1 461)of nurses chose a specialized care package kit.The most used skin antiseptic was povidone-iodine[63.7％(931/1 461)].Most nurses could follow the standardized range of skin disinfection,but awareness of drying needs to be improved.Dressings covering puncture points were most frequently transparent[99.7％(1 457/1 461)]and gauze[94.7％(1 383/1 461)],and the frequency of gauze dressing changes needs to be standardized.Hand hygiene and aseptic awareness of nurses during CVAD maintenance was good,but hand hygiene and the timing of wearing sterile gloves need to be standardized.Conclusions ICU nurses' CVAD maintenance practices were generally in line with the latest evidence-based recommendations,but assessment,use of maintenance-related items,and hand hygiene and aseptic technique need to be further standardized.It is recommended that nursing administrators enhance ICU nursing human resource allocation as much as possible and form a central line associated bloodstream infection(CLABSI)prevention and control management system to gradually reduce the morbidity of CLABSI within the ICU.

Objective:To explore the effect of Olmesartan on the antigen presenting function of dendritic cells (DCs) in rats.Methods:Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells of female Lewis rats were obtained. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were cultured with Olmesartan (final concentration 10 μmol/L; OLM-DCs) or equal volume of DMSO (Con-DCs). Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the surface costimulatory molecule CD80, CD86 and MHCⅡ on DCs and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β of DCs were analyzed by flow cytometry. DCs and CD4 +T lymphocytes were cocultured. T lymphocytes proliferation was analyzed by flow cytometry. IFN-γ in the supernatants were determined by ELISA. Results:The expression of MHC Ⅱ on DCs was inhibited by Olmesartan. The level of intracellular IL-10 in DCs was up-regulated by Olmesartan. Compared with Con-DCs, T lymphocytes proliferation and the level of IFN-γ were inhibited by OLM-DCs.Conclusions:Olmesartan could induce tolerogenic DCs in vitro. These tolerogenic DCs could inhibit T lymphocytes proliferation and the production of Th1 cytokine.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Huangqi injection combined with Buzhong Yiqi acupuncture in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome （CFS） with Qi deficiency and its effects on TCM syndromes， fatigue symptoms， serum superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and oxidized low-density lipoprotein （ox-LDL） levels. MethodA total of 200 patients with CFS of Qi deficiency were randomly divided into a control group （100 cases） and an observation group （100 cases）. The control group was treated with vitamin B compounds， and the observation group was treated with Huangqi injection combined with Buzhong Yiqi acupuncture for two weeks. The scores of TCM syndromes， fatigue symptoms， levels of serum SOD， MDA， and ox-LDL and the incidence of adverse reactions were observed and compared before and after treatment in two groups. ResultAfter treatment， the total effective rate of the control group was 54.34% （50/92）， while that of the observation group was 88.54% （85/96）. The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group （χ²=27.13，P<0.05）. Compared with those in the two groups before treatment， scores of fatigue self-assessment scale （FSAS）， physical fatigue and mental fatigue， and sleep/rest response scores of fatigue in the two groups after treatment were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. After treatment， scores of FSAS， physical fatigue and mental fatigue， and sleep/rest response scores of fatigue in the observation group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group （P<0.05）. Compared with those in the two groups before treatment， TCM syndrome scores in the two groups after treatment were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. After treatment， TCM syndrome scores in the observation group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group （P<0.05）. Compared with those in the two groups before treatment， MDA levels in the two groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， ox-LDL levels in the observation group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and SOD levels were significantly increased （P<0.05）. After treatment， compared with those in the control group， the serum MDA and ox-LDL levels in the observation group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the serum SOD was significantly increased （P<0.05）. No serious adverse events or adverse reactions occurred during this clinical trial. ConclusionHuangqi injection combined with Buzhong Yiqi acupuncture has a good clinical curative effect in the treatment of CFS with Qi deficiency， which can effectively improve the fatigue symptoms of patients， increase the level of SOD， and reduce the level of serum MDA and ox-LDL.
