0.05).It was revealed by ROC curve analysis that P-LAP≤38.12 U/L and IL-6≥3.40 pg/mL could be adopted as criteria to predict the inevitable preterm labor,and the Youden's index of the combination use of the parameters of P-LAP and IL-6 was significantly higher than that of the single use of each parameter(P

Objective:
To investigate the compliance of functional exercises and identify its influencing factors among young and middle-aged stroke patients, so as to provide insights into rehabilitation management among young and middle-aged stroke patients.
Methods:
Stroke patients at ages of 18 to 59 years were recruited from those receiving rehabilitation treatment in Tongde Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2021 to June 2022. Participants' demographics and clinical data were collected through questionnaire surveys. The compliance of functional exercises was assessed using Stroke Functional Exercise Adherence Questionnaire, and patients' social support, exercise self-efficacy and depression were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale, Exercise Self-efficacy Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale. The factors affecting functional exercise compliance were identified among young and middle-aged stroke patients with a multivariable linear regression model.
Results:
A total of 230 questionnaires were allocated and 213 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.61%. The respondents included 129 men (60.56%) and 84 women (39.44%) and had a mean age of (53.49±7.95) years. The total score of functional exercise compliance was (41.37±9.11) points among the participants. Multivariable linear regression analysis identified education level (β'=0.376), monthly household income per capita (β'=0.309), history of stroke onset (β'=-0.238), rehabilitation instruction (β'=0.284), depression (β'=-0.261), exercise self-efficacy (β'=0.152), and social support level (β': 0.277 to 0.415) as factors affecting the functional exercise compliance among young and middle-aged stroke patients.
Conclusion
Education level, income, history of stroke onset, depression, exercise self-efficacy and social support may affect the compliance of exercise compliance among young and middle-aged stroke patients.

Expressed emotion was the describing term about the guardian of patients' emotiveness tendency to patients,which reflected attitude,tolerance degree and the coping way in crisis.It was a robust predictor of relapse of schizophrenia.Studies showed that the family intervention for the high expressed emotion guardian of patients could effectively reduce the disease relapse.By summarizing the expressed emotion's concept,assessment tools,influence factors,family interventions,the paper aimed to innovate perfect interventions and promote the patients recovery.

Objective We aimed to explore the experience of posttraumatic growth in patients with cervical cancer who had a hysterectomy at the childbearing age.Methods The phenomenological methodology was used in the study.An in-depth interview was conducted among 12 patients chosen by purposive sampling method.Results Through careful analysis and collation,three themes were identified:smashing the original assumption,searching the meaning of existence and rebuilding the new cognitive schemata.The experience of patients' was conformed to the model which was put forward by Tedeschi,and the theme changes in personal relationships,personal strength,altruism born from sufferings and new philosophy of life were conformed to theoretical connotation of PTG.Conclusions Clinical medical staff should update psychological nursing concept timely and taking advantages of PTG to help patients pass through their difficult period.

Objective To study the clinical features and gene mutation of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Methods Clinical data of one newborn infant with CHI were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed. Results The infant was admitted at 24 days after birth due to recurrent hypoglycemia. Genetic examination revealed the single heterozygous mutation on ABCC8, which conifrmed the diagnosis of CHI. Experimental treatment of Diazoxide was effective. The blood glucose was normal in the follow up. Conclusions The improvement of genetic testing at the soonest can not only helps early diagnosis of CHI, but also guides the long-term clinical management of CHI.

Objective To study the feasibility and curative effect of transumbilical single-incision (TSIL) vs multiple-incision (MIL) laparoscopic splenectomy.Methods Ten cases (2 cases of idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura,1 case of hereditary spherocytosis,3 cases of splenic hemangioma and 4 cases of cirrhotic splenomegaly) underwent TSIL from Jan 2010 to Ju12011,and 12 cases (3 cases of ITP,2 cases of hereditary spherocytosis,3 cases of splenic hemangioma and 4 cases of splenomegaly) underwent MIL.Clinical data were compared with each other.Results No severe complications occurred in either group.The mean operation time of single-incision group and multiple-incision group was ( 182 ± 23 ) min and ( 169 ± 19) min,and blood loss was( 160 ± 13 ) ml and ( 155 ± 16) ml ( P > 0.05 ).The post-operative pain score in TSIL and in MIL group was respectively [ ( 1.60 ± 0.20) vs (3.60 ± 0.90) on day 1,P < 0.05 ; (0.50 ±0.10) vs (2.00 ±0.45) on day 2,P <0.05].There was no significant difference between the two groups in the recovery of the gastrointestinal function,the length of hospital stay and the cost of hospitalization, all P > 0.05.The umbilical incision in TSIL cases is more cosmetic.Conclusions Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic splenectomy is feasible and safe in experienced hands.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,pathogenic causes and treatment outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in very old patients in order to improving the diagnosis and treatment.Methods 39 AKI patients aged ≥80 years in the department of geriatric medicine of our hospital were enrolled and followed up for 3 months.Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed and the pathogenic causes as well as the treatment outcomes were summarized.Results Among the 39 very old patients,31(79.5%) were male,8(20.5%) were female,and the mean age was (93.5±4.6) years.33 (84.6%)patients had chronic kidney diseases.The pathogenic causes of AKI were mainly as follows:urological infections (71.8%),blood volume deficiency (48.7%),cardiac dysfunction (23.1%) and hypotension (15.4%).2 to 4 pathogenic causes were co present in 64.1% patients.Renal function was improved and recovered in 69.2 % patients and the death rate was 25.6% after treatment.The main causes of death were septic shock (30.0%),multiple organ failure (20.0%),massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage (20.0%) et al.Conclusions Most of the very old patients may suffer from AKI on the basis of chronic kidney disease.AKI is often induced by multiple pathogenic causes.The main factors leading to AKI are urological infections,followed by blood volume deficiency and cardiac dysfunction.Most patients with AKI can recover after the precipitating factors are removed and supportive treatments are administered in time.Septic shock is the main cause of death.

Based on the results of oral glucose tolerance test( OGTT )and the levels of 1-h plasma glucose ( 1 hPG),793 subjects were classified into three groups:583 with NGTN ( normal 1 hPG in OGTT),127 with NGT1 H( higher 1 hPG in OGTT) and 83 with IGT( impaired glucose tolerance).NGT1H group had large waist circumference,higher body mass index,fasting plasma glucose( FPG),triglyceride,and lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol than those of NGTN group.NGT1 H group had higher homeostasis model assessment insulin index ( 1.2 ± 0.6),lower homeostasis model assessment β3 ( HOMA-β ) (4.5 ± 0.7 ) and insulinogenic index (2.1 ±0.7) than those of NGTN group(0.5 ±0.6,4.8 ±0.7,2.7 ±0.9,respectively,all P <0.05 ).HOMA-β of NGT1 H group was higher than that of IGT group(4.5 ±0.7 vs.4.4 ±0.6,P <0.05 ).The results indicate that 1 hPG in OGTT may identify a condition of glucose metabolic abnormalities characterized by insulin resistance and reduced β-cell function.

A cross-section study was designed to investigate clinical utility of lipid measures for prediction of insulin resistance(IR).A total of 793 healthy volunteers were divided to IR group or non-IR group based on the value of HOMA-IR.Area under receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)found that TG/HDL-C was more related with IR in comparison with other lipid ratios,and could be used as a measure in predicting IR.
