Objective:To study the experience of frontline medical workers in COVID-19 quarantine points.Methods:Purposive sampling method was employed and 12 frontline medical workers in COVID-19 points of Zhaoyuan City were selected for semi-structured and in-depth interview. Colaizzi′s seven-step analysis method was adopted to analyze and categorize the data.Results:The real experience of frontline medical workers in quarantine points were classified into five themes: professional mission and pride, inadequate initial response in dealing with public health emergencies (shortage of personal protective equipment,inadequate preparation of medical workers and imperfect settings of quarantine points), having some negative emotions (worrying about being infected and feeling fearful for family members), facing complex and diverse working difficulties (repugnance and diversified demands of people quarantined, heavy workload, discomfort from personal protective equipment and occupational exposure), and gaining support and appreciation (getting support from epidemic control and prevention departments as well as medical systems and winning appreciation from people quarantined).Conclusions:The frontline medical workers are lack of experience in dealing with public health emergencies and have some psychological and working pressure. Administrative department should further complete the emergency plan of centralized isolation medical observation, strengthen the contingency management of public health emergencies, attach importance to the mental health of medical workers, optimize management methods and establish flexible work schedules.

Objective To explore the relationship between severity of symptom and immune function in left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease (CHD) infants combined with pneumonia. Methods The clinical data of 45 left-to-right shunt CHD combined with pneumonia infants were retrospectively analyzed. The infants were divided into 2 groups according to the modified Ross score:mild group (0-6 scores, 28 cases) and severe group (7-12 scores, 17 cases);then, the infants were divided into 2 groups according to deformities:single deformity group (the infants had a kind of deformity such as ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus, 21 cases) and composite/complex deformity group (the infants combined 2 or more deformities or other malformations, 24 cases). Twelve cases of healthy check-up infants were selected as control group. The levels of lymphocyte subsets (including CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+, NK cell and B lymphocyte) and IgG, IgA, IgM were detected in every group. Results There were no statistical differences in IgG, IgA, IgM, CD8 +, CD4 +/CD8 +, NK cell and B lymphocyte among mild group, severe group and control group or single deformity group, composite/ complex deformity group and control groups (P>0.05). The CD3+ in severe group was significantly lower than that in mild group and control group (0.59 ± 0.10 vs. 0.69 ± 0.13 and 0.69 ± 0.12), the CD4+was significantly lower than that in control group (0.34 ± 0.07 vs. 0.45 ± 0.09), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). For CD4+, though there was statistically difference among single deformity group, composite/complex deformity group and control groups (P<0.05), no statistically significant difference was in multiple comparison among the 3 groups (P>0.05). The CD4 + in the composite/ complex deformity group was significantly lower than that in the single deformity group and the control group (0.34 ± 0.07 vs. 0.45 ± 0.15 and 0.45 ± 0.09), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions In left-to-right shunt CHD infants combined with pneumonia, the reduction of CD3+and CD4+may be one of the causes of serious illness.

Objective To discuss the application of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of esophageal leiomyoma. Methods Clinical data of 26 patients with esophageal leiomyoma from September 1996 to October 2002 treated by minimally invasive surgery were reviewed retrospectively. Results Video-assisted thoracoscopic leiomyoma enucleations were performed in 23 patients, and a conversion to mini-thoracotomy was required in 3 of them because of dense pleural adhesion (2 patients) or location failure of tumor (1 patient). The remaining 3 patients underwent transjugular leiomyoma enucleation (2 patients) or esophagoscopic resection of leiomyoma (1 patient), respectively. All the procedures were completed smoothly and the postoperative recovery was uneventful, without mortality or severe complications. All the patients were pathologically diagnosed as leiomyoma after surgery. Follow-up for 2 ~ 73 months (mean,32.3months) found no recurrence. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopic enucleation can be the first choice for the esophageal leiomyomas that derived from lamina propria, while esophagoscopic removal may be considered for those from muscularis mucosa.

Objective To investigate the value of combined use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and duodenoscopic procedures in the treatment of selective common bile duct stones. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 32 cases of selective common bile duct diseases treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) from January 2002 to December 2003. Results Of 24 cases receiving ERCP before LC, 19 cases were found having common bile duct stones, 3 cases having stricture at the lower end of the common bile duct, and 2 cases normal. These cases underwent ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) following by LC. Of 8 cases receiving ERCP after LC, 4 cases were found having common bile duct stones, 3 cases having stricture at the lower end of the common bile duct, and 1 case normal. Except for 1 case of conversion to open surgery because of a failed stone removal, all the cases were cured with EST. Conclusions combined use of LC and ERCP is a highly useful approach in the treatment of selective common bile duct stones, which has broadened the utilization of minimally invasive treatment for bile duct diseases.

Malnutrition in patients with acute stroke is quite common. It is an independent risk factor affecting stroke prognosis. Early enteral nutrition can improve the nutritional status of the stroke patients, lower infection rate and mortality, promote recovery of neurological function, and improve the quality of life. Therefore, under the premise of the gastrointestinal tolerance, the patients with severe stroke should select early enteral nutrition as early as possible.

Objective To research the electrocardiogram (ECG) manifestations of common electrolyte disturbance and to discuss the accuracy of ECG diagnosis. Methods One hundred and sixty-nine hospitalized patients with hyperkalemia and 170 patients with hypokalemia were selected and the results of ECG were analyzed. Results In mild hyperkalemia patients (serum potassium concentration 5.5- 6.5 mmol/L), the ECG abnormal rate was 91.4% (64/70). In mild hypokalemia patients (serum potassium concentration 3.0-3.5 mmol/L), the ECG abnormal rate was 56.9% (41/72). There was significant difference (P < 0.05). The greater the deviation of serum potassium concentration, the more obvious the characteristic changes of ECG. Conclusions In addition to the blood biochemical test, ECG is also a kind of check tool that can help to diagnose abnormal blood potassium.
