Objective To investigate the feasibility of low dose dual phase contrast-enhanced chest CT with iterative mod el reconstruction (IMR) technique.Methods Totally 130 patients with suspected pulmonary occupying lesions underwent dual phase contrast-enhanced chest CT,who were randomly assigned into 2 groups (group A and group B,each n=65).Patients in group A were scanned with 100 kV,DoseRight technique with dose right index 10,and images were reconstructed with the hybrid iterative reconstruction (iDose4).While patients in group B were scanned with 80 kV,DoseRight technique with dose right index 8,and images were reconstructed with iterative model reconstruction (IMR).The objective image quality,subjective image scores and the excellence rate of vascular visualization were compared in both pulmonary artery (PA) and bronchial artery (BA) phases.The radiation dose was also calculated.Results The effective dose was (3.30 ±0.89)mSv in group A and (1.27 ±0.19)mSv in group B.Compared to group A,the effective dose reduced 61.52% in group B (P<0.001).Lower image noise and greater CNR were obtained in group B compared to group A in both PA and BA phases (all P<0.001).No significant difference was found in subjective image scores of lung and mediastinal setting and the excellence rate of vascular visualization in both groups (all P>0.05).Conclusion Using IMR,dual phase contrast-enhanced chest CT allows for a radiation dose reduction up to 61.52%,meanwhile,ensures the image quality and meets the diagnostic requirements.

Objective To study the effects of quality control circle (QCC) activities on nursing quality of children with hand foot mouth disease. Methods A total of 104 children with hand foot and mouth disease in the pediatric emergency department of Zhoushan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from May 2015 to December 2017, when QCC activities have been were carried out, selected as observation group. At the same time, 104 cases of hand foot mouth disease children from January 2014 to April 2015, before QCC carried out, were selected as control group. The comprehensive evaluation of nurses, nursing quality, mistake rate of medical record and evaluation and the ability of quality control management of the nurses were compared between the two groups. Results The comprehensive evaluation, nursing quality and the ability of quality control of the observation group were all higher than those of the control group, and the mistake rate of medical record and card was lower than the control group. All the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.01). Conclusions Quality control circle activities can improve the quality of care for children with hand, foot and mouth disease, improve the comprehensive evaluation and quality management ability of nurses, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To explore the current status of rumination in inpatients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) under the disease coping mechanism, and analyzing its influencing factors.Methods:From March 2021 to December 2022, 267 mPCa inpatients at the Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University were selected as the study subject using convenience sampling. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese Version of Event Relate Rumination Inventory (C-ERI), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and Social Support Revalued Scale (SSRS), and the factors influencing the rumination in patients were analyzed.Results:This study collected 260 valid questionnaires, with an effective response rate of 97.4% (260/267). The total score of rumination in 260 mPCa patients was (31.08±6.46), with invasive rumination and purposeful rumination scores of (14.13±4.44) and (16.95±4.55), respectively. The initial prostate-specific antigen index, confrontation medical coping modes were the influencing factors of invasive rumination in mPCa patients ( P<0.05). The initial prostate-specific antigen index, course of disease, social support, and confrontation medical coping style were the influencing factors of purposeful rumination in mPCa patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The rumination of mPCa patients is above the medium level, and is influenced by multiple factors under the disease coping mechanism. Clinical medical and nursing staff should combine the clinical situation and characteristics of mPCa patients, provide personalized interventions as early as possible, and assist patients in improving their positive cognitive processing abilities.

Objective: To screen related genes of melanoma-associated antigen-A11 (MAGE-A11) in breast cancer cells based on highthroughput DNAmicroarray technology, and to validate from the aspects of quantity and function. Methods: DNAmicroarray was used to screen the differently-expresseddown-stream mRNAs of MAGE-A11 in breast cancercelllines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and BT-549). Cluster analysis was applied on representative genes and quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate. CCK-8, scratch wound healing assay and Transwell assaywere used to detect the effect of MAGE-A11 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Results: Over-expression of MAGE-A11 caused the differential expression of 1608 down-stream genes in 3 breast cancer cell lines, which was associated with various cell functions such as protein ubiquitination,cell proliferation and apoptosis, tumor invasion and metastasis.qRT-PCR validated that the expression of ZNF-451, CENPTJ, CDK13, API5 and LMO7, which were highly expressed in microarray, were also significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01);in addition, SHPRH, PML, MARK2, LIMA1 and ANGPTL4, which were low-expressed in microarray, were also significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01). MAGE-A11transfection directly increased the proliferation of breast cancer MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells at 72 h (all P<0.01); compared with control group after transfectionexhibited obvious wound healing at 48 h (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and significantly increased trans-membrane cell numbers (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Many differentially expressed genes related to ubiquitination, cell proliferation and apoptosis, tumor invasion and migration were screened in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 breast cancer cells. Among them, 10 typical differentially expressed genes were identified in terms of quantity and function.
