ObjectiveTo investigate the social support status and influencing factors of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan, and to provide ideas for improving their social support. MethodsFrom May to September 2020, a total of 533 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for schizophrenics in remission at the mental health institutions in Guangyuan, Bazhong and Dazhou cities were selected for the survey, and patients were assessed by self-made demographic and clinical data inventory and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Then the social support status of schizophrenic in remission and influencing factors were analyzed, meantime, the impact of the second round reimbursement policy of medical insurance benefits on their social support was addressed particularly. Results①The SSRS total score, objective support, subjective support, and utilization of support scores of schizophrenics in remission were lower than those of the national norm (t=5.065~30.382, P<0.01). ②Univariate analysis showed that SSRS score was relatively high among patients with female gender (t=-3.632), retired status (F=5.951), married status (F=5.951), spouse as primary caregiver (F=23.841), annual household income >5 000 yuan (F=15.892), patient's economic income (t=4.083), and outpatient or online follow-up (F=3.954), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05 or 0.01). ③The total and dimensional scores of SSRS in patients with access to the second round medical insurance reimbursement were significantly higher than those without (t=10.195~25.103, P<0.01). ④Multiple linear regression analysis denoted that gender, work status, marital status, primary caregivers, annual family income, economic income, follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement were the factors influencing social support status of schizophrenics in remission (β=0.201~2.115, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe social support of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan is below the national average, furthermore, their social support levels are affected by the gender, work status, marital status, primary caregivers, annual family income, economic income, follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement, and the second round medical insurance reimbursement may ameliorate the social support status of patients.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical effect between laparoscopic retrograde cholecystectomy and partial cholecystectomy in the treatment of patients with complex bile duct diseases. MethodsThe clinical data of 83 patients with bile duct diseases who were diagnosed and treated in Guangyuan Mental Health Center from June 2013 to March 2015 were collected. Among these patients, 40 underwent laparoscopic retrograde cholecystectomy (group A), and 43 underwent partial cholecystectomy (group B). The surgical procedure and postoperative recovery were compared between the two groups. The independent samples t-test was applied for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the paired t-test was applied for comparison of continuous data within each group before and after treatment; the chi-square test was applied for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsCompared with group A, group B had a significantly shorter time of operation, a significantly less blood loss, a significantly lower volume of intraoperative fluid infusion, and a significantly lower volume of peritoneal drainage (t=9.245, 2.394, 2.529, and 3.603, all P<0.05). The rate of conversion to laparotomy, time to functional recovery of the gastrointestinal tract, and length of hospital stay showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). The body temperature and C-reactive protein on days 1-3 after surgery showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P>005), while in both groups, the body temperature and C-reactive protein were significantly lower on the 2nd and 3rd days than on the 1st day. (t=3.184, 3.402, 3.151, 3.390, 3.497, 5.184, 3.916, and 6.024, all P<0.05). Group B had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative complications than group A (2.33% vs 20.00%, χ2=6.696, P=0.010). ConclusionCompared with laparoscopic retrograde cholecystectomy, partial cholecystectomy can shorten the time of operation and reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications, and holds promise for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of ozone combined with low-temperature plasma coagulation therapy on patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and its influence on inflammatory responses.Methods Ozone in combination with low-temperature plasma radio-frequency coagulation was applied to 75 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy in Pain Medicine Department of Capital Medical University Affiliated Beijing Anzhen Hospital from May 2022 to May 2023.Pain scores were assessed using Visual Analog Scale(VAS)and Neck Disability Index(NDI)before and two weeks after treatment.Enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA)was used to analyze the level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interferon-gamma(IFN-γ)before and two weeks after treatment.Results After treatment with ozone plus low-temperature plasma radiofrequency,VAS and NDI scores showed a significant decrease[VAS:5.36(4,7)vs.1.32(1,2),P<0.000 1;NDI:32.72(24,70)vs.7.62(3.55,8.9),P<0.000 1].Two weeks after surgical intervention,there was an effective reduction in the level of IL-6,TNF-αand IFN-γ alleviating the inflammatory re-sponse[IL-6:4.33(2.51,5.04)vs.3.49(2.08,4.43),P<0.05;TNF-α:1.95(1.41,2.21)vs.1.61(1.02,2.03),P<0.05;IFN-γ:1.84(1.18,2.47)vs.1.55(0.76,2.09),P<0.05].Conclusions This Ozone combined with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation is an effective technology for treatment of cer-vical spondylotic radiculopathy.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common primary valve lesion requiring surgery or transcatheter intervention in modern era. Its prevalence is rising rapidly as a consequence of the aging population. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as a therapy option for older high-risk symptomatic severe AS patients has emerged and is currently extending its indications towards surgery intermediate- and low-risk subjects. Considering the common characteristics of frailty and high comorbidity among AS patients, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been proven to improve not only survival but also quality of life in previous reports. CR as a classⅠ recommendation in guidelines for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease has been widely used in clinical practice. The purpose of this article is to sort out the current CR programs for TAVR patients in global medical management, and explore the CR optimization program fit for China medical model in post COVID-19 pandemic era.
