Objective To investigate the suitable mode of cognitive-behavioral therapy for lung transplant recipients during waiting for lung and evaluate the effect to improve patients' physical and mental state.Methods 50 cases were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group,each group with 25 cases.The control group received conventional treatment.The experimental group received cognitive-behavioral therapy in addition to conventional treatment.SAS and vital signs were measured in the two groups on admission,2 weeks and 4 weeks after admission.Results The SAS score of the experimental group was lower than the control group 2 weeks and 4 weeks after admission and SAS score decreased as the intervention extended.The SBp of the experimental group was lower than the control group 4 weeks after admission.There was no significant difference of DBp between two groups.The heart rate of the experimental group was lower than the control group 4 weeks after admission.The heart rate of the experimental group was lower on 2 weeks and 4 weeks after admission than on admission.4weeks after admission,the respiratory rate of the experimental group was lower than the control group and on admission.Conclusions Cognitive-behavioral therapy can reduce the level of anxiety and keep vital signs stable with good feasibility and effectiveness.

Objective To evaluate the effects of continuous intra-tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) during mechanical ventilation for protecting the juvenile piglets with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by endotoxin. Method Twelve healthy juvenile piglets were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated at 2 cmH2O PEEP with 10 cmH2O peak inspiration pressure. The piglets were challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and randomly (random number) assigned to two groups (n = 6 each): (1) piglets treated with mechanical ventilation alone (group MV) and (2) piglets treated with TGI by continuous airway flow of 2 L/min (group TGI). FiO2 was set at 0.4 to avoid oxygen toxicity, and the piglets were continuously monitored with an oxygen analyzer. Results Tidal volume, ventilation efficacy index and mean airway pressure were significantly improved in piglets of TGI group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Four hours after ALI, pH decreased to below 7.20 in piglets of MV group, and was higher in piglets of TGI group (P < 0.01). Similarly, PaCO2 was stable and was significantly lower in piglets of TGI group than that in piglets of MV group (P < 0.01). PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 increased in piglets of TGI group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate, respiraaatory rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, dynamic lung compliance and mean resistance of airway between two groups. Lung histopathological changes showed severe inflammation,and intra-alveolar hemorrhage and interstitial patchy hemorrhage were ameliorated and the lungs were more homogenously expanded in piglets of TGI group. Conclusions Continuous TGI during MV can significantly improve gas exchange and ventilation efficacy, and may provide a better treatment for acute lung injury.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efifcacy of Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) versus 1aparoscopic cryoablation (LCA) for the small renal tumors (SRMs).Methods The databases of PubMed, SCI, Ovid, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP and Wangfang Data were searched to controlled clinical trial about LPN versus LCA for the treatment of small renal tumor. The retrieval time span was from inception to Apr 2016. The studies were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the date were extracted and the quality was evaluated by 2 reviewers independently. And then the Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software.Results 9 studies were included, and 748 cases were involved. The meta-analysis showed that comparing with LPN, the operation time of LCA was shorter [MD = 42.75, 95 % CI (12.19~73.31),P = 0.006], less intraoperative blood loss [MD = 190.73, 95 % CI (126.67~254.78),P = 0.000], shortening hospital stay [MD = 2.23, 95 % CI (0.17~4.28),P = 0.030], lower transfusion rate [OR^ = 3.54, 95 % CI (1.18~10.59),P = 0.020], lower rate of postoperative glomerular ifltration levels [MD = 10.30, 95 % CI (5.38~15.24),P = 0.000], less complications [OR^= 3.90, 95 % CI (1.84 ~ 8.24),P = 0.000], higher risk of local recurrence [OR^ = 0.13, 95 % CI (0.04 ~ 0.44),P =0.000], higher risk of distant metastases [OR^ = 0.16, 95 % CI (0.03 ~ 0.78),P = 0.020], but there were no signiifcant differences in postoperative creatinine rise and transfusion rate (P > 0.05).Conclusions LCA has advantage in perioperative period results and protect renal function. But LCA has a higher local recurrence and distant metastasis risk, short-term and medium-term efficacy considerably, long-term effect is not clear, therefore, in the choice of surgical cases still need to be careful.

Purpose: This study explored the performance of prenatal ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of cystic biliary atresia (CBA) and choledochal cyst (CC). Methods: Fetuses diagnosed with hepatic hilar cyst in the second trimester were included in this study. A series of prenatal ultrasound examinations were performed in the second and third trimesters. The diameter of the gallbladder (GB) and hepatic cyst were measured, as well as the wall thickness of the GB. The GB-cyst connection, visibility of the right hepatic artery (RHA), and other concomitant abnormalities were carefully evaluated. A neonatal transabdominal ultrasound examination was performed within 1 week after birth, and clinical data were followed up to 6 months after birth. Results: Between January 1, 2016 and January 31, 2020, 53 fetuses diagnosed with hepatic hilar cyst were recruited. Eight were excluded because they were lost to follow-up. Among the 45 cases included in this study, 10 were diagnosed with CBA and 35 with CC after birth. Statistically significant differences were found in GB width, wall thickness, change in GB width, change in cyst length, GB-cyst connection, and RHA visibility between the CBA and CC groups. GB width showed the best diagnostic performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.899. The combination of GB width, GB wall thickness, and GB-cyst connection yielded a comparable AUC of 0.971. Conclusion The GB should be carefully evaluated in fetuses with hepatic hilar cyst. Prenatal ultrasound findings could provide suggestive parameters for the differential diagnosis of CBA from CC.

Objective:To understand the research progresses of economic evaluation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) both at home and abroad, and provide reference for economic evaluation of NPIs using real-world data in China.Methods:The literature retrieval was conducted by searching Chinese and English databases to indude papers about economic evaluation of NPIs and integrated NPIs published from January, 2020 to December, 2021, and the results were analyzed comprehensively.Results:A total of 30 Chinese and English literatures about economic evaluation of NPIs for COVID-19 prevention and control were included; including 7 papers about nucleic acid and testing and screening, 6 papers about individual prevention and protection measures, 12 papers about integrated implementation of individual prevention and protection, social distancing, nucleic acid or antigen testing, community screening and symptom screening, as well as close contact tracing and isolation/quarantine, and 5 papers about contain strategies, such as lockdown. This study found that personal protection, social distancing, and testing-tracing-isolation measures were cost-effective; however, different combinations of NPIs might lead to different results. Moreover, the cost of lockdown was high, which might cause huge economic burden.Conclusions:Most NPIs are cost-effective except lockdown, while the cost-effectiveness of the integrations of NPIs at different levels and in different scenarios needs to be further evaluated. It is necessary to carry out economic evaluation of integrated NPIs and the combination of NPIs with other interventions, such as vaccination and medication, based on real-world settings in China.

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the hearing performance of a new transcutaneous bone conduction hearing aid.Methods One hundred and nine patients with conductive or mix hearing loss and eleven patients with single sided sensorineural hearing loss from four tertiary referral centers were tested under unaided and aided conditions with the sound processors on testbands.Free field test was performed to obtain the hearing thresholds and speech recognition thresholds in quiet.Adverse events were also documented by a self-reported questionnaire.Results ①Conductive or mixed hearing loss patients:for aged≥6 yrs subgroup,the bone conduction PTA average of aided sides was 18.55±8.99 dB HL.For aged<6 yrs subgroup, the bone conduction ABR hearing threshold average was 18.33±8.36 dB HL.②Statistically significant improvements in free field hearing thresholds were seen when compared aided hearing with unaided outcomes.The average PTA (pure tone average in free field) was measured at 32.21±10.00, 37.33±14.15, and 34.38±10.76 dB HL respectively in conductive or mixed hearing loss aged≥6 yrs subgroup;aged<6 yrs subgroup and SSD subgroup.③In aided situations;speech recognition thresholds in quiet were significantly better compared to unaided situation in patients aged≥6yrs.④None of patients presented adverse events related to the devices.Conclusion The Sophono bone conduction hearing aid has satisfactory hearing performance and can be considered an alternative device for patients with conductive or mix hearing loss or with SSD.

Objective:To survey the knowledge levels of sudden cardiac death (SCD) prevention among general practitioners (GPs) in Henan province.Methods:From October to November 2019, a questionnaire survey on the knowledge of SCD prevention and treatment was conducted among GP residents participating in the standardized training and assistant GPs taking final examination after training in Henan province. The questionnaire included three dimensions of SCD knowledge: prevention, early diagnosis and first aid. The factors influencing the knowledge levels on SCD prevention were analyzed.Results:A total of 546 questionnaires were distributed and 519 responders (95.1%) completed the questionnaire, including 176 GP residencies and 343 assistant GPs. The age of the respondents was 22-44 (27.91±2.84) years, 234 (45.1%) were males and 285 were females. The overall correct rate of SCD prevention and treatment was (61.46±12.39) %, and the correct rates of prevention, early diagnosis and first aid knowledge were (65.22±17.88)%, (56.58±20.20)% and (62.57±14.60)%, respectively. The overall correct rate and the correct rates of SCD prevention and treatment knowledge among GP residents were higher than those among assistant GPs ( t=10.55, 9.20, 8.62, 3.42, P<0.001); the overall correct rates and the correct rates of SCD first aid knowledge of female GPs were higher than those of males ( t=2.26, 2.13, P=0.025, 0.033); the overall correct rate and the correct rates of each dimensions in age group ≥28 years were higher than those in age group <28 years ( t=4.21, 3.37, 3.20, 2.00, P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared to GP residents,the assistant GPs was the factor influencing the lower levels of the overall knowledge ( OR=0.24, 95 %CI:0.16-0.38, P<0.001), knowledge of prevention ( OR=0.19, 95 %CI:0.10-0.32, P<0.001) and knowledge of early diagnosis ( OR=0.35, 95 %CI: 0.23-0.52, P<0.001);compared to male responders,the females had significantly higher pass rate in SCD first aid knowledge ( OR=1.56, 95 %CI:1.07-2.28, P=0.020). Conclusions:The SCD knowledge levels of the prevention, early diagnosis, and emergency treatment are less satisfactory among GPs in Henan province; it is necessity for targeted training on the weak points of SCD knowledge for GPs.

Objective To study the effects of different posterior slope installations of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(UKA)prostheses on the loading and motion of the knee joint and insert wear.Methods A combined approach involving the UKA musculoskeletal multibody dynamic,finite element,and wear prediction models was used to investigate the effects of five different posterior slope installation positions of the UKA prosthesis on the postoperative knee joint force and motion,insert contact stress,linear wear depth,and wear volume.Results At a 0° posterior slope,the maximum von Mises stress of the insert was 24.84 MPa,maximum contact stress was 47.61 MPa,and volumetric wear after 5 million cycles(MC)was 47.29 mm3.As the posterior slope angle of the UKA prosthesis increased,the internal rotation and posterior translation during the gait cycle increased,the medial joint force during the swing phase increased,the von Mises and contact stresses of the insert after 5 MC decreased significantly,and the wear area,maximum linear wear depth,and volumetric wear volume of the insert were consequently reduced.Compared to the 0° posterior slope,the linear wear depths of the insert at the 3°,5°,and 7° posterior slopes decreased by 17.8％,19.2％,and 20.6％,respectively.The volumetric wear volumes of the inserts decreased by 24.5％,30.9％,and 34.3％,respectively.Conclusions Installing a UKA prosthesis with a posterior slope exceeding 3° significantly increases internal rotation and posterior translation during the gait cycle,further reducing the articular volumetric wear of the polyethylene insert.
