Objective To identify the routes and branches of the proper plantar digital nerves(PPDN) in the medial of the great toe and its adjoining relationship among the surrounding fascia tissues and organs,which was expected to provide accurate localization of the nerve impingement and possible relevant of anatomical basis for the treatment of nerve entrapment in clinical utility.Methods From December,2016 to January,2019,a total of 54 formalin fixed feet were collected.Fifty of them were performed conventional anatomical procedure,the other 4 were prepared with sectional anatomical technique.The seats and branches of the PPDN in the medial of the great toe were observed;The width and thickness of the nerve were measured at the first metatarpophalangeal joint(FMPJ),along with its proximal and distal sides 0.5 cm.The origin and origin of fascia were observed by foot dissection.Masson staining was used to observe the tissue changes of the nerves in the FMPJ.Results The PPDN of the medial great toe run between the flexor pollicis longus tendon and the abductor pollicis tendon at the proximal,issued (4.21±0.12) final branches.And governed the sensation of the medial half of the great toe.The width of the nerve at the FMPJ was (3.50±0.09) mm,which was significantly increased compared with that of the near [(1.58±0.04) mm] and far [(1.56± 0.03) mm] from the joint.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);The thickness of the nerve in the proximal segment was (0.83±0.04) mm,and that in the distal segment was (0.82±0.03) mm.Compared with that in the FMPJ [(0.67±0.02) mm],the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).A deep fascia was observed on the superficial surface of the PPDN at medial great toe,which was stretched between the tendon sheath of the flexor pollicis longus tendon and the tendon of the abductor pollicis muscle.Masson staining showed obvious proliferation of nerve outer mem brane fibers at the metatarpophalangeal joint,the number of nerve fiber bundles increased,and obvious thickening of nerve fiber bundles and nerve fascia.Conclusion Long-term compression can lead to thickening of the epineurium and perineurium,and the superficial fascia is an important factor of thumb pain and numbness caused by the compression of the PPDN at medial of the great toe.

Objective:To explore application research of intimacy enhancement therapy in the rehabilition of depression patients, and to provide reference for carrying out depression nursing care.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From September 2022 to September 2023, a total of 84 depression patients and spouse were selected by convenience sampling method and assigned to the experimental group and control group with 42 cases in each group using the random number table method from Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University. The control group applied with routine nursing, and the experimental group implemented intimacy enhancement therapy. Before and 8 weeks after intervention, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-17) and Symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for assessment.Results:Finally, 81 patients completed the study, including 39 in the experimental group, 13 males and 26 females, aged (36.18 ± 10.93) years old, and 42 in the control group, 17 males and 25 females, aged (38.76 ± 10.90) years old. Before intervention, there was no significant difference in HAMD-17, HAMA-17 and SCL-90 (all P>0.05). After 8 weeks of intervention, the scores of HAMD-17, HAMA-17 scores in the experimental group were (21.00 ± 4.49), (25.38 ± 5.16) points, which were lower than (23.76 ± 6.24), (28.48 ± 5.88) points in the control group; the scores of somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, compulsion, anxiety, depression, others, total SCL-90 in the experimental group were (1.25 ± 0.19), (0.69 ± 0.35), (1.40 ± 0.23), (1.17 ± 0.29), (1.18 ± 0.14), (1.22 ± 0.18), (119.69 ± 9.09) points, which were also lower than (1.82 ± 0.26), (1.53 ± 0.36), (1.69 ± 0.39), (1.88 ± 0.38), (1.73 ± 0.35), (1.31 ± 0.17), (146.19 ± 8.97) points of the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.05-13.20, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Intimacy enhancement therapy can effectively alleviate somatic symptoms and improve prognosis of patients with depression.

The quality control process throughout the Ebola virus nucleic acid detection in Sierra Leone-China Friendship Biological Safety Laboratory (SLE-CHN Biosafety Lab) was described in detail, in order to comprehensively display the scientific, rigorous, accurate and efficient practice in detection of Ebola virus of first batch detection team in SLE-CHN Biosafety Lab. Firstly, the key points of laboratory quality control system was described, including the managements and organizing, quality control documents and information management, instrument, reagents and supplies, assessment, facilities design and space allocation, laboratory maintenance and biosecurity. Secondly, the application of quality control methods in the whole process of the Ebola virus detection, including before the test, during the test and after the test, was analyzed. The excellent and professional laboratory staffs, the implementation of humanized management are the cornerstone of the success; High-level biological safety protection is the premise for effective quality control and completion of Ebola virus detection tasks. And professional logistics is prerequisite for launching the laboratory diagnosis of Ebola virus. The establishment and running of SLE-CHN Biosafety Lab has landmark significance for the friendship between Sierra Leone and China, and the lab becomes the most important base for Ebola virus laboratory testing in Sierra Leone.

Objective To delineate the normal stomach and thoracic stomach structure of patients with thoracic and abdominal tumor automatically using the AccuContour software based on deep learning in order to evaluate and compare the results. Methods Thirty-six patients with choracic and abdominal tumors were chosen for this study, and were divided into two groups. Group A included 18 patients with normal stomach, and group B included the other 18 patients undergoing esophageal carcinoma operation with thoracic stomach. The stomach structures were automatically delineated by the AccuContour software in the simulation CT series. Statistical analysis was carried out to data of the differences in volume, position and shape between the automatic and manual delineations, and data of the two kinds of stomach were compared. Results For group A, the differences in volume (ΔV%) between the automatic and manual delineations was (−1.82 ± 9.65)%, the total position difference (ΔL) was (0.51 ± 0.37) cm, the values of dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was 0.89 ± 0.04. There were significant differences in values of ΔV%、ΔL and DSC (P < 0.05). Conclusion The used version of AccuContour software in this study had a satisfactory result of automatic delineation of the normal stomach structure larger than certain volume, but could not delineate the thoracic stomach structures effectively for patients undergoing esophageal carcinoma operation.
