were measured at the end of inspiratory.ResultsThe differences of following parameters were statistically significant between the healthy control group, mild PH group, moderate PH group and severe PH group: velocity time integral of ventricular systolic wave (SVTI), velocity time integral of ventricular diastolic wave (DVTI), AR, AR/S, ARVTI/SVTI, AR/(S+D), ARVTI/(SVTI+DVTI,F=2.940, 2.838, 3.373, 7.681, 3.478, 12.052, 4.806;P<0.05,<0.05,<0.05,<0.01,<0.05,<0.01,<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that ratio of AR/(S+D) was positively correlated with pulmonary artery mean pressure (r= 0.575,P<0.01). ConclusionsThe ratio of AR/(S+D) of MHV Doppler flow spectra was correlated with pulmonary artery mean pressure. The ratio increased along with the increasing of pulmonary pressure in CHD patient. The Doppler echocardiographic detection of MHV flow had a certain reference value for the diagnosis of PH. The ratio of AR/(S+D) could be a new non-invasive parameter for evaluating PH.

Objective:To explore the effects of home hospice care team service model in patients with end-stage malignant tumors and main caregivers, so as to provide intervention programs for improving the quality of life of patients with end-stage malignant tumors.Methods:In the prospective and controlled study, 106 patients with malignant tumors who received end-stage hospice care in Yuebei People′s Hospital and main caregivers from May 2021 to July 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method, and divided into trial group (53 pairs) and control group (53 pairs) according to the random number table method. The control group was treated with routine nursing intervention, and the trial group was given home hospice care team service model intervention based on the control group. The occurrence of falls and negative emotions and quality of life of patients, psychological stress of primary caregivers before and after intervention were observed by using Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Relative Stress Scale (RSS) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Scale (EORTC QLQ-C30).Results:Finally, 103 patients and main caregivers completed the study, with 52 pairs in the control group and 51 pairs in the trial group. In the control group, the patients were 29 males and 23 females, aged (54.33 ± 12.24) years old,and the main caregivers were 22 males and 30 females, aged (41.67 ± 8.14) years old. In the trial group,the patients were 27 males and 24 females,aged (55.17 ± 10.56) years old,and the main caregivers were 24 males and 27 females, aged (43.62 ± 7.39) years old. After intervention, the total incidence of falls and the total incidence of fall complications in the trial group were 7.84% (4/51) and 1.96% (1/51), respectively, which were lower than 25.00% (13/52) and 11.54% (7/52) in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=5.50, 4.75, both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the score of SAS, SDS, RSS, EORTC QLQ-C30 before intervention between the two groups (all P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of SAS and SDS in trial group were (32.66 ± 3.18), (31.19 ± 4.50) points,which lower than those in control group (34.54 ± 3.91), (34.31 ± 4.03) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.67, 2.51, both P<0.05). After intervention, the RSS scores of psychological distress, life disruption, negative emotion and total score of the main caregivers in trial group were (3.52 ± 0.48), (3.66 ±0.56), (3.47 ± 0.82), (10.65 ± 0.67) points, which were lower than those in the control group (4.74 ± 2.75), (4.67 ± 2.64), (4.12 ± 2.13), (13.53 ± 2.26) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.04-8.73, all P<0.05). After intervention, the EORTC QLQ-C30 score in the trial group was (74.14 ± 5.64) points, which was lower than that in the control group (70.54 ± 7.07) points, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.85, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of home hospice care team service model can effectively reduce the risk of falls in patients with malignant tumor chemotherapy, improve the negative emotions of patients and the psychological stress state of their main caregivers, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of programmed death receptor-1(PD-1)/ programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer and its effect on serum levels of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in patients.Methods:This study was a retrospective study. Ninety patients with cervical cancer treated at Lishui Municipal Central Hospital between January 2019 and December 2022 were randomly divided into two groups. Forty-five patients in the control group received routine radiotherapy and chemotherapy, while forty-five patients in the observation group received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in addition to the treatment provided to the control group. The effectiveness and safety were compared between the two groups.Results:The effectiveness in the observation group was superior to that in the control group ( P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum tumor markers, including SCC-Ag, CA125, CEA, and human epididymal protein 4, were significantly lower in the observation group compared with the control group ( t = 5.44, 6.20, 14.74, 4.06, all P < 0.001). After treatment, the levels of interferon-γ, interleukin-2, and interleukin-6 in the observation group were significantly lower compared with the control group ( t = 6.24, 8.95, 8.38, all P < 0.001). After treatment, the levels of CD 3+, CD 4+, and CD 4+/CD 8+ in the observation group were significantly higher compared with those in the control group ( t = 8.82, 6.53, 5.27, all P < 0.001). After treatment, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 4.35, 4.35, 5.17, 5.24, all P < 0.001). The incidence of various adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( χ2 = 3.85, 3.87, 5.08, 4.44, all P < 0.05). The cumulative survival rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [60.00% (27/45) vs. 40.00% (18/45), P < 0.05]. The median survival time in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group (365 days vs. 222 days, P < 0.05). Conclusion:PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are effective in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. They can reduce the serum levels of SCC-Ag, CEA, and CA125, prolong the survival time of patients, and improve their quality of life.
