Objective:The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the adequacy of nutritional therapy and prognosis in trauma patients.Methods:217 trauma patients were included.The nutritional therapy interventions were divided into three groups:low energy therapy (＜50％),moderate energy therapy (50％ ～ 80％),high energy therapy (＞ 80％).General data,hospitalstay,ICU stay,infectious complications and mortality were compared among groups.Results:The protein intake of high energy group was higher than the other two groups (P ＜0.01).High energy therapy was associated with reduced mortality and decreased length of hospital stay.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that high energy therapy had a significantly higher 60 days cumulative survival rate compared with other groups.Conclusion:High energy therapy is more effective and associated with improved mortality and decreased length of stay.

Marine traditional Chinese medicine (MTCM) is an important part of Chinese medicine (CM),there are some differences in understanding of the current literature and the extension of the connotation of marine medicine,which leads to the definition dispute of MTCM,hindering clinical application and further development of MTCM.In this study,we explored the concept of MTCM in literature,discussed the attributes of ocean marine CM,summed up the differences between the land CM and MTCM over variety characteristics,effect of drug composition characteristics and biological activity characteristics,and discussed the connotation and extension of MTCM from three aspects of theoretical basis and the effect and source of the drug,leading to the formation of the narrow and broad concept of MTCM.The five kinds of disputes in the definition of MTCM were discriminated according to the concept and connotation,which provided a theoretical basis for the definition and the research of MTCM.Moreover,we also defined the English translation and its abbreviation as Marine Traditional Chinese Medicine (MTCM).

Objective To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of Pentoxifylline(PTX) on rats with renal interstitial fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).Methods The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Sham operation group(group A),UUO group(group B),Enalapril group(group C),PTX group(group D) and PTX plus Enalapril group(group E).On the 3th,7th and 14th day after operation,5 rats of each group were sacrificed by exsanguinations,respectively.The concentration of hydroxyproline was measured,and the ratio of collagen and renal weight was tested.The expressions of transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1),tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7),NF-?B and CD34 were measured by immunohistochemistry.The peritubular capillary index(PCI) was regarded as the expression of CD34.Results The ratio of collagen and renal weight in the rats of group B was higher than that of other 4 groups(P

The modern physicians have different views on acupoint combination and acupuncture-moxibustion prescription and confuse them in clinical practice. It is significant to clarify the conception, connotation and relationship between them so as to normalize the therapeutic program of acupuncture and moxibustion and promote the standardization of acupuncture and moxibustion. Through the collection of relevant literature and analysis on the differences in the understandings among physicians, the conception, connotation and relationship between acupoint combination and acupuncture-moxibustion prescription are summarized. It is viewed that the acupoint combination is based on TCM theory. Under the guide of acupoint selection, in combination of the characters of clinical practice and acupoint indications, two or more than two acupoints of the same function are combined to enhance the collaborative effects of acupoints so as to achieve specific efficacy and improve clinical efficacy. Regarding acupuncture-moxibustion prescription, on the basis of disorder and syndrome differentiation of patients, the concrete therapeutic program is put forward, including acupoint composition and therapeutic method. Acupoint combination is the basic element of acupuncture-moxibustion prescription. Acupuncture-moxibustion prescription is the specific application of acupoint combination.

Objective To explore the role of monitoring the cellular immune function in preventing and treating the fungal infection in the recipients of liver transplantation. Methods 679 cadaveric liver transplantations (from Jan. 2004 to Jan. 2010) were retrospectively studied. All the cases were divided into 3 groups according to different treatments and preventing regimens. The patients in groups A, B, C were treated based on the clinical experiences (394 cases), T lymphocyte subsets counting (151 cases), and combination of ATP values of CD4+ T cell and T lymphocyte subsets counting (134 cases), respectively. The infection, mortality and acute rejection rate were analyzed. The relationship between fungal infection and cellular immune function was investigated.Results The fungal infection rate in groups A, B, and C was 28. 9 %, 21.2 %, and 19. 4 % (P<0. 05), the morbidity rate was 16. 7 %, 12. 5%, and 3. 8% (P>0. 05), and the acute rejection rate was 28. 4 %, 17. 2 %, and 13. 4 % (P<0. 01), respectively. The CD4+ T lymphocyte counting in all cases of fungal infection was (147±43)×106/L. The morbidity could reach 50. 0 % when the CD4+ T lymphocyte counting < 100 ×106/L, while it was 2. 4 % when the counting was between (100-200) ×106/L (P<0. 01). The CD4+ T lymphocyte counting had no linear relation with the ATP value.The ATP value in fungal infection cases was (117 ± 61)μg/L. Conclusion The cellular immune function test could be quantitatively evaluated according to the T lymphocyte subsets and ATP value of CD4+ T lymphocyte. And individualized immunosuppressive therapy could be adjusted accordingly.Therefore, cellular immune function could be instructive in preventing and treating the fungal infection after liver transplantation.

Professor YU Ren-cun believes that the responsibility of cough and asthma of lung cancer patients not only lies in the lungs, but also relates with spleen, kidney, heart and liver. Treatment should focus on the whole body and overall conditioning. Syndrome can be divided into 4 types: qi deficiency with phlegm resistance, yin deficiency with toxic heat, qi stagnation with blood stasis, and lung and kidney deficiency. Clinical treatment should pay attention to the combination of disease and syndrome, which can achieve satisfactory efficacy.

Objective:To study and analyze the application effect of intervention plan based on unplanned readmission risk model (LACE) in the rehabilitation of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with cardiac shock (CS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:Ninety-three patients with AMI complicated with CS who received PCI in Tianjin Union Medical Center from January 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into LACE intervention group ( n = 46) and routine intervention group ( n = 47) according to the different nursing intervention methods. The patients in the routine intervention group received routine interventions, including drug care, diet care, psychological care, health education and telephone follow-up, while those in the LACE intervention group were assessed for the risk of LACE, and then intervention measures were formulated according to the score of LACE index, including strengthening risk awareness, life behavior, daily life ability, self-care ability, health recovery and health needs. The follow-up period in both groups was 3 months. The changes of cardiac function, incidence of adverse cardiac events, readmission rate, self-management ability after intervention and quality of life level before and after intervention were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in cardiac function or quality of life before intervention between the two groups. After intervention for 3 months, the cardiac function and quality of life in the two groups were improved as compared with those before intervention. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the LACE intervention group was significantly higher than that in the routine intervention group (0.533±0.076 vs. 0.492±0.072, P < 0.05), the left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was significantly lower than that in the routine intervention group (mm: 47.09±7.01 vs. 53.23±7.15, P < 0.01), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief (WHOQOL-BREF) score was also significantly higher than that in the routine intervention group (66.32±6.19 vs. 55.79±7.26, P < 0.01). The scores of self-management ability in the coronary heart disease self-management scale (CSMS) after intervention in the LACE intervention group were significantly higher than those in the routine intervention group (adverse hobbies score: 17.37±3.24 vs. 14.21±2.73, symptoms score: 14.82±3.11 vs. 10.56±2.65, emotional cognition score: 16.17±2.83 vs. 12.95±2.41, first aid score: 11.85±1.94 vs. 10.62±1.56, disease knowledge score: 15.58±2.73 vs. 12.68±2.61, daily life score: 17.80±2.61 vs. 14.33±2.36, treatment compliance score: 11.47±1.84 vs. 8.56±1.23, all P < 0.01). The incidence of adverse cardiac events and readmission rate in the LACE intervention group were significantly lower than those in the routine intervention group (10.87% vs. 29.79%, 4.35% vs. 17.02%, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:The intervention plan based on LACE risk model can effectively promote postoperative rehabilitation of patients with AMI complicated with CS after PCI, and also help to improve patients' self-management ability and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of mitral regurgitation jet volume(MRvol) in the quantification of mitral regurgitation severity by general imaging three-dimensional quantification (GI3DQ) using the guideline recommended 2D integrative method as a reference.Methods Ninety-three patients with MR were divided into central MR group(n =41) and eccentric MR group(n =52).The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE)-recommended 2D integrative method was used as a reference for MR grading and MRvol was directly measured by GI3DQ method.Results In central MR,as assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis,the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.87(P <0.0001), and MRvol by GI3DQ at a cutoff value of 16.2 ml yielded 96.2% of sensitivity and 63.6% of specificity to differentiate mild from moderate MR;the AUC was 0.98(P < 0.0001),and a cutoff value of 47.8 ml yielded 98.6% of sensitivity and 96.2% of specificity to differentiate moderate from severe MR. In eccentric MR,the AUC was 0.76(P =0.086),and MRvol at a cutoff value of 14.8 ml yielded 90.9% of sensitivity and 60.0% of specificity to differentiate mild from moderate MR;the AUC was 0.84(P <0.0001) and a cutoff value of 40.7 ml yielded 80.0% of sensitivity and 79.7% of specificity to differentiate moderate from severe MR.Conclusions MRvol measured directly by GI3DQ could more exactly evaluate MR severity,and have better sensitivity and specificity to differentiate moderate from severe MR in central MR.
