Objective: Hundreds of countries have implemented lockdown policies to slow the spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), but the impact of these measures on maternal mental health is not well understood. Methods: This study integrated a stress-process model to examine the pathways from lockdown-related stressors to prenatal psychological outcomes, with COVID-19 coping strategies (COP) and self-efficacy in managing negative affect (NEG) as mediators and lockdown duration, hours on pandemic-related information, and number of pregnancies as moderators. Pregnant women in Shanghai completed the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale, COVID-19 Coping Scale, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test and modify the hypothetical model, and moderated mediation and slope analyses were undertaken. Results: In the final SEM demonstrating satisfactory fit, three stressors—decreased household income, insufficient daily supplies, and acquired infections—showed positive direct relationships with NEG and COP. Acquired infections, NEG, and COP were identified as direct predictors of mental health outcomes. The relationship between these three stressors and mental health was mediated by NEG and COP. Additionally, the number of pregnancies moderated the mediating effect of COP; this effect was more pronounced among first-time pregnant women than those with multiple pregnancies. Conclusion This study provides insights into how lockdown measures impact psychological outcomes in pregnant women quarantined at home. Interventions aimed at increasing coping strategies may be more effective for primiparous women during future public health emergencies.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of a novel modified Blumgart pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:Between May 2021 and January 2022, 13 successive cases from Lihuili Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University who underwent LPD were enrolled in this retrospective study. The study retrospectively analyzed the demographic characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and pathological results of these cases.Results:Twenty patients underwent LPD success-fully and one required conversion to open surgery. The operative time was (308.6 ± 61.7) min. The duration for PJ was (26.7 ± 4.3) min. The estimated blood loss was (188.1 ± 94.2) ml. The postoperative hospital stay was (14.2 ± 3.5) d. There was one case of biochemical leakage and no case of grade B or grade C pancreatic fistula.Conclusions:The new method is safe, simple and feasible. The novel method could reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula and other complications after LPD.

Objective:To investigate the expression of CXC chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11) in gallbladder cancer (GBC) and its effect on cell proliferation and invasion.Methods:The surgically resected specimens of 47 GBC patients were collected in Lihuili Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University from January 2017 to December 2020. There were 26 females and 21 males, with the age (62.0±8.2) years. The expression of CXCL11 protein in GBC tissues and corresponding paracancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Associations between CXCL11 expression and clinicopathological features were analyzed. After co-culturing of GBC-SD cells with exogenous CXCL11, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays were performed to detect cell proliferation and invasion ability. The expression and phosphorylation level of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (Akt) were also detected by Western blot.Results:The positive expression rate of CXCL11 in GBC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent paracancerous tissues [63.8% (30/47) vs 31.9% (15/47), χ 2=9.59, P=0.002]. Furthermore, CXCL11 expression was significantly associated with tumor stage (χ 2=6.64, P=0.010) and lymph nodal metastasis (χ 2=7.86, P=0.005). CCK-8 assay revealed that the proliferation ability of GBC-SD cells in CXCL11-treated group significantly increased than that in the control group (absorbance value: 0.59±0.06 vs 0.32±0.04, t=9.64, P<0.001). Transwell assay showed that the cell invasion ability in CXCL11-treated group significantly increased than that in the control group [number of transmembrane cells: (133.4±12.3) cells vs (38.6±4.4) cells, t=16.21, P<0.001]. Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression levels of phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) in CXCL11-treated group (0.88±0.06 and 0.83±0.04) were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.17±0.04 and 0.23±0.06), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=18.54, P<0.001 and t=15.21, P<0.001). Conclusion:CXCL11 is highly expressed in GBC and closely related to tumor progression. CXCL11 can promote the proliferation and invasion of GBC cells via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the effect of nursing based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in the perioperative period of children with hydronephrosis who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty.Methods:From March 2020 to March 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 60 children with hydronephrosis who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as the research object. According to the random number table method, the children were divided into the control group and the observation group, 30 cases in each group. The control group was given routine perioperative nursing. On this basis, the observation group conducted nursing based on ERAS. The postoperative recovery and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared.Results:The time of first eating after surgery, the time of extubation of wound drainage tube after surgery, and the average hospital stay of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The nursing based on ERAS can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in children with hydronephrosis after robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty, and promote the postoperative recovery of children, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To observe the differences in clinical efficacy of Jieyu Anshen Decoction combined with auricular points and oral tibolone in the treatment of patients with perimenopausal sleep disorders, and provide effective treatment for patients with contraindications to hormone supplement therapy in clinicalMethods:Using a randomized trial design, from July 2018 to August 2020,102 perimenopausal insomnia patients in International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital of China Welfare Institutewith kidney deficiency and liver depression who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 51 cases each. The treatment group took Jieyu Anshen Recipe. At the same time, unilateral auricular point pressing treatment was given, and the opposite ear was changed in 5 d. The control group was treated with tiburon for a period of 3 months. The changes in the scores of each scale were observed in the two groups after 1 month and 3 months treatment. The scale included Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), modified Kupperman score (KMI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Screening Scale (PHQ-9). Its effectiveness and differences were evaluated and analyzed comprehensively through the above scale.Results:PSQI, KMI, GAD-7, PHQ-9 scores decreased significantly in the control and treatment groups after 1 month and 3 months of treatment, and the difference were statistically significant: PSQI: (8.58 ± 1.94) and (5.81 ± 1.93) scores vs. (13.10 ± 2.53), (9.15 ± 2.59) and (6.33 ± 1.98) scores vs.(13.52 ± 2.27) scores; KMI: (19.92 ± 2.16) and (14.67 ± 4.11) scores vs. (28.54 ± 7.65) scores, (19.02 ± 5.92) and(14.10 ± 4.37) scores vs. (27.42 ± 7.34) scores; GAD-7: (4.54 ± 2.03) and (3.81 ± 1.63) scores vs. (5.69 ± 2.95) scores, (3.71 ± 2.48) and (3.32 ± 1.73) scores vs. (4.90 ± 3.17) scores; PHQ-9:(6.90 ± 2.52) and (4.98 ± 1.96) scores vs. (9.83 ± 3.71) scores, (6.15 ± 2.62) and (4.44 ± 1.81) scores vs. (9.02 ± 3.73) scores ( P<0.01). PSQI, KMI, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 scores declined between the two groups, but there were no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, using PSQI scale and KMI score, the total efficiency of patients in the control group was slightly higher than that of the treatment group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); after 1 month and 3 months of treatment, using PHQ-9 score and GAD-7 score, the total efficiency of patients in the treatment group was slightly higher than that of the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine combined with ear acupoint pressing has similar effects to tibolone in treating perimenopausal insomnia with kidney deficiency and liver depression. It can significantly improve the quality of sleep and quality of life of patients, and has good safety. For patients who are not suitable for hormone, Chinese medicine can be used as an alternative. The therapies are worthy of clinical application.

Objective To learn about the current situation and trends of novel coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-2019) in foreign countries. Methods The data on confirmed COVID-2019 cases were collected between January 20, 2020 and February 18, 2020 and by age, sex, nationality, contact history, region, and country were performed stratified analysis and onset time analysis. Results From January 20th to February 18th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of COVI D-2019 abroad was 804. Excluding the 454 cases on the 'Diamond Princess' cruise ship in Japan, the daily number of new cases fluctuated, showed a trend of rising first and then maintaining a steady trend. The peak date for new cases was on February 1, with the number of cases reaching 26. The confirmed cases were mainly concentrated in Asian countries, but also distributed in Europe, North America, Oceania and Africa. As of February 15, there was no more increase reported in the number of countries where confirmed cases occurred after reaching 25. Among these countries, Singapore, Japan, and Thailand were with the highest number of cases, with 77, 65, and 35 cases, respectively. In accordamce to available information on confirmed cases, the cases with history of exposure to confirmed cases were more than those with history of living or traveling in Hubei. And more cases were non-Chinese nationalities, 40 years old and above, and males . Conclusion The novel coronavirus has transmitted abroad, and produced second-generation cases. Although the incidence is low abroad , its trend fluctuates greatly, so sufficient attention must be paid to the possibility of further transmission.
