Objective:To investigate the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets(CCBT)on dental plaque control.Meth-ods:60 patients with gingivitis,mild or moderate,or chronic periodontitis were divided into control group(without drug treatment), CCBT group (treated with CCBT)and CHX group (treated with compound chlorhexidine gargle)according to the randomized con-trolled single-blind principle.Quigley-Hein plaque index (PI)and bleeding index (BI)of the subjects were recorded,tumor necro-sis factor (TNF-α)and interleukin (IL-1β)in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)were measured by ELISA before and after 2 weeks'trial.Results:After 2-week treatment,PI and BI in CCBT and CHX groups decreased(P<0.01);TNF-αin GCF decreased(P<0.05),IL-1βcontent was not changed.The changes of PI and BI were not significant between CCBT and CHX groups(P>0.05). In control group PI was decreased(P<0.05),other measurements were not changed(P>005).Conclusion:CCBT is effective in inhibiting plaque accumulation and decreasing GCF TNF-αlevel.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of three-dimensional high resolution anorectal manometry and the effect of biological feedback therapy on the improvement of clinical symptoms in very elderly patients with chronic functional constipation.Methods:A total of 68 cases with chronic functional constipation were divided into very elderly group(≥80 years old, n=36)and the elderly group(60-79 years old, n=32)in the retrospective analysis.Patients underwent the three-dimensional high resolution anorectal manometry before and after biological feedback therapy, and the related parameters and scores of constipation symptoms before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The results of 3D high-resolution anorectal manometry showed that the anus relaxation rate in the simulated defecation test was lower and the bowel threshold in the rectal sensory threshold test was higher in the very elderly group than in the elderly group(2.44±33.81% vs.16.34±16.99%, 103.44±42.01 ml vs.77.22±41.85 ml, t=-2.047 and 2.655, P=0.049 and 0.012). In the very elderly group, the post-biological feedback therapy versus pre-biological feedback therapy showed that anal residual pressure during simulated defecation was decreased, the absolute value of negative anorectal pressure difference was reduced and the anal relaxation rate was increased [57.50±18.88 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs.64.84±25.82 mmHg, -29.64±15.98 mmHg vs.-39.47±19.45 mmHg, 10.53±29.35% vs.2.44±33.81%, t=3.342, -4.902 and -3.209, P=0.002, 0.000 and 0.003]. The scores of clinical symptom scale showed that there was no significant difference in the effective rate between the very elderly and elderly groups(66.67% or 24/36 vs.71.88% or 23/32, χ2=0.760, P=0.860). Conclusions:The elderly functional constipation patients with defecation disorder often have rectal propulsive insufficiency and dyscoordination of pelvic floor muscle contraction.The main cause of defecation disorder in very elderly patients is the decrease of anal relaxation rate during simulated defecation.Biological feedback therapy can improve the symptoms of defecation disorder in very elderly patients by reducing the anal residual pressure during simulated defecation, increasing the anal relaxation rate and reducing the absolute value of negative anorectal pressure difference.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis measures and treatment methods of white line hernia. Methods Analyze the clinical data of 12 cases of white line hernia who were treated by surgery. We performed peritoneal adipose tissue before resection on hernia without hernial sac type. And for those with hernial sac type, apothesis of material in hernia were firstly made, then ligated the hernia sac neck and resection were made. Then according to the white line defect size, we used pure involution suture and Onlay without tension patch repair to repair defect in the white line. Results Surgery of all the 12 cases were successful. 2 cases of them merged postoperative renal dysfunction and infection, and after hemodialysis and anti-infection treatment, they both recoverd well without recurrence. Conclusion There is no spe-cific symptoms and signs in white line hernia, but incarceration and strangulation may cause life threaten, so we should pay more attention to it. For symptomatic, large, difficult, incarcerated or strangulated white line hernia,we should take timely surgical treatment.

Objective To investigate the role of expression in the differential diagnosis of thyroid follicular carcinoma and follicular variant of papillary carcinoma. Methods Seventy cases of thyroid lesions (including 15 cases of follicular adenomas, 15 cases of adinomatous goiters, 30 cases of papillary carcinomas and 10 cases of follicular carcinomas) were collected, and CD10 expression was detected by means of immunohistochemistry in above thyroid lesions. Results Seven of 9 cases of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma were CD10 positive (77.8), and 8 of 10 cases of follicular carcinoma were CD10 positive (80.0). However, CD10 was negative in all cases of non-follicular variant of papillary carcinoma, follicular adenoma, adinomatous goiter and normal thyroid tissue. Conclusion The detection of CD10 expression is useful to the differential diagnosis of thyroid follicular carcinoma and follicular variant of papillary carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of supreme laryngeal mask airway (SLMA) and endotracheal intubation on the elderly hypertensive patients treated with knee arthroplasty. Methods Forty cases of elderly hypertensive patients ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ treated with knee arthroplasty in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into laryngeal mask airway group (group LMA)and endotracheal intubation (group TT),20 cases for each group.The same protocol for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia was used.After the patients entering,the changes of SpO2 and ECG were performed continuous noninvasive monitoring and SBP,DBP and HR were performed con-tinuous invasive monitoring.SBP,DBP and HR of two groups were recorded at different time points:before anesthesia induction (T0 ,based value),at intubation immediate (T1 ),5 mins after intubation (T2 )and 1 5 mins after intubation (T3 ).At the same time,the content of cortisol (Cor),atrial natri-uretic peptide (ANP)and the concentration of epinephrine (E)and norepinephrine (NE)were meas-ured at the corresponding time points above.Results Compared with T0 ,SBP and DBP at T1-T3 in group LMA were decreased(P <0.05 or P <0.01);SBP and DBP at T1 in group TT were increased while decreased at T2 ,T3 ,HR at T1 were increased(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).Compared with group LMA,SBP and DBP at T1-T3 and HR at T1 ,T2 in group TT were increased (P <0.05 or P <0.01). Compared with T0 and group LMA,the content of E,NE and Cor at T1-T3 increased(P <0.05 or P <0.01).The level of ANP in both groups at T1-T3 were higher than those at T0 ,and group TT were higher than group LMA(P <0.01).Conclusion Compared to endotracheal intubation,SLAM can ef-fectively reduce the stress reaction of elderly hypertensive patients treated with general anesthesia in knee arthroplasty.

Objective:To investigate how medical staff recognize and understand the nursing quality evaluation in robot-assisted arthroplasty so as to provide reference and evidence for construction of a nursing quality evaluation system for robot-assisted arthroplasty.Methods:The descriptive phenomenological research method was used for this qualitative research. From May to October, 2021, 6 doctors and 9 nurses from Operating Room, Laoshan Campus, Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University were interviewed in a semi-structured way about the nursing quality evaluation for robot-assisted arthroplasty. The data were sorted out by Nvivo12.0 qualitative analysis software, and the interview data were analyzed while the themes and topics refined according to the Colaizzi seven-step analysis of phenomenological data.Results:Three themes were extracted. ① The first theme was related to the quality evaluation of nursing structure, including 2 topics: nursing staff allocation and nursing quality management in operating room. ② The second theme was related to the quality evaluation of nursing process, including 4 topics: environment and facilities, nosocomial infection control, management of patients' operative safety, and specialized operative nursing. ③ The third theme was related to the quality evaluation of nursing outcomes, including 3 topics: satisfaction for operating room nursing, incidence of adverse events and patients' benefits.Conclusion:The themes and topics for nursing quality evaluation in robot-assisted arthroplasty extracted from the perspective of medical staff can provide reference for construction of a reasonable, scientific, efficient and comprehensive nursing quality evaluation index system.

Objective:To explore the establishment of a surgical complication monitoring mode based on data on the medical record homepage, and analyze its impact on the trend of changes in surgical complication incidence.Methods:A monitoring mode of surgical complication was developed based on the " structure-process-results" framework by using surgical complication rates derived from performance appraisal for a tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou. The number of surgical complications and the number of discharged surgical patients was collected from the hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 through the home page collection system for performance appraisal of national tertiary public hospitals. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the incidence of surgical complications, and Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of changes in the incidence of surgical complications. Monthly percentage change ( MPC) and average monthly percentage change ( AMPC) were calculated. Results:Since the hospital began implementing the surgical complication monitoring mode in May 2021, the incidence of surgical complications had decreased from 2.55% in June 2021 to 0.82% in June 2022, with an MPC of -5.58% ( P=0.024), which was better than the changes from January 2019 to May 2021 ( MPC=0.18%, P=0.755). Conclusions:The surgical complication monitoring mode constructed by the hospital can effectively reduce the incidence of surgical complications, providing reference for optimizing hospital′s medical quality management process and decision-making mode.

OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for constructing and improving the pharmacovigilance signal management sys - tem in China by comparing signal management system among the European Union （EU），the United States （U. S. ）and Japan. METHODS：Literature analysis method was used to systematically compare the similarities and differences on definitions ，sources， detection methods and management process of pharmacovigilance signals among EU ，U. S. and Japan. Some suggestions were put forward for pharmacovigilance management in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：Regulatory authorities of the EU ，U. S. and Japan did not have a uniform definition on signals ；EU drug administration adopted the definition of the eighth working group of Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences ，FDA adopted its own definition ，while the Japanese regulatory agency had no clear definition. Currently ，post-marketing surveillance still relied mainly on spontaneous reporting systems ；EU，U. S. and Japan had carried out the signal detection based on the spontaneous reporting system ；EU mainly adopted the proportional reporting ratio method ，U. S. mainly adopts the multiple gamma Poisson Shrinker ，and Japan mainly adopted the reporting ratio method. EU had special guidelines for signal management process ，while the U. S. and Japan did not. It is recommended to accelerate the deve- lopment of the legal and regulatory framework on pharmacovigilance in China ，draw up guidelines on pharmacovigilance practices ， strengthen the active ADR surveillance and promote the application of data mining techniques in signal detection field ，for accelerat - ing the standardization and internationalization of China ’s pharmacovigilance work.

OBJECTIVESTo compare the prognostic value of three lymph node(N) staging systems, including the number of metastatic lymph nodes(pN), the metastatic lymph node ratio (Nr) and the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS), in gastric cancer patients after radical resection.

METHODSClinical and pathological data of 1 796 patients who underwent gastric cancer radical resection with complete follow-up information from January 2000 to December 2010 at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed. For each patient, N stages were classified according to three lymph node staging systems (pN, Nr, and LODDS). The relationship between each N staging was examined. Survival was analyzed using the Cox's proportional hazard model, and discrimination of staging system was determined using the change value of Chi squared statistic (▹χ) from the log-likelihood test. A larger ▹χvalue indicates a better discriminatory ability. The homogeneity of 5-year overall survival across each pN stage within each Nr and LODDS stage was compared by using the log-rank test. The subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate whether each of the competing system was affected by the number of lymph nodes retrieved.

RESULTSThe mean number of lymph node examined and positive nodes in the entire cohort was 21.1±12.1 and 7.9±8.2,respectively. The median overall survival of all the patients was 45 months (95% CI: 42.6 to 47.4 months), and the 5-year survival rate was 55.0%(95% CI: 52.6% to 57.4%). The ▹χof Nr system was 198.546, which was higher than that of pN(191.255) and LODDS(196.557) system. Except for the pN3b stage, significant heterogeneity was found among patients of different Nr subcategories in 5-year overall survival rate (all P<0.05) within each pN stage. While there was no significant difference in overall survival when any of the Nr stages was stratified by pN stages(all P>0.05). Significant difference in survival among patients of different LODDS subcategories was also seen within each pN stage. But for the LODDS system, the survival rate was similar among patients of different pN subcategories (all P>0.05) apart from the LODDS3 stage. The hazard ratios of patients with insufficient lymph nodes examined (≤15) were higher than those with sufficient nodes examined (>15) when the pN classification was used (all P<0.05), whereas similar results were not found if the Nr or LODDS classification was applied.

CONCLUSIONCompared with the pN staging system, both the Nr and LODDS staging system, especially the former, have a higher degree of discrimination ability and robustness to predict the prognosis in patients with gastric cancer after radical resection.
