Objective:To investigate the inflammatory state and immune function of patients experiencing acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated by hypercapnia before and after noninvasive mechanical ventilation.Methods:The clinical data of 120 patients experiencing acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated by hypercapnia who received treatment in Taizhou Central Hospital from August 2018 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into a noninvasive ventilation group ( n = 57) and a conventional treatment group ( n = 63). The therapeutic effect was observed in each group. Before and after treatment, serum levels of inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein), immune indexes (CD 4+, CD 8+, CD 4+/CD 8+), blood gas analysis indexes (PaCO 2, PaO 2, pH) and pulmonary function indexes (forced expiratory volume in 1 second, forced vital capacity, peak expiratory flow) were measured in each group. Adverse reactions such as sputum obstruction and gastric distension during treatment were statistically analyzed. Results:Total effective rate in the noninvasive ventilation group was significantly higher than that in the conventional treatment group ( P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein were (61.98 ± 5.16) ng/L, (19.77 ± 3.41) ng/L, (15.39 ± 3.22) mg/L respectively in the noninvasive ventilation group, which were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group [(68.24 ± 5.12) ng/L, (21.04 ± 3.52) ng/L, (19.28 ± 3.50) mg/L, t = 6.664, 2.003, 6.314, all P < 0.05]. After treatment, CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ were (29.28 ± 2.81) and (1.18 ± 0.17) respectively in the non-invasive ventilation group, which were significantly higher than (27.34 ± 2.96) and (1.09 ± 0.15) in the conventional treatment group ( t = 3.672, 3.081, both P < 0.05). After treatment, PaCO 2 [(48.34 ± 6.92) mmHg] in the noninvasive ventilation group was lower than that in the conventional treatment group [(53.09 ± 7.07) mmHg, t = 3.712, P < 0.05]. PaO 2, pH, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, forced vital capacity and peak expiratory flow were (70.61 ± 9.82) mmHg, (7.35 ± 0.15), (2.39 ± 0.48) L, (2.50 ± 0.46) L, (4.65 ± 0.75) L/s, respectively in the non-invasive ventilation group, which were significantly higher than those in the conventional treatment group [(65.19 ± 8.23) mmHg, (7.29 ± 0.14), (2.16 ± 0.47) L, (2.21 ± 0.45) L, (4.06 ± 0.69) L/s, t = 3.287, 2.266, 2.650, 3.488, 4.488, all P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Noninvasive mechanical ventilation for patients experiencing acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated by hypercapnia can improve the inflammatory state and immune function, enhance lung function and reduce the degree of hypoxia.

Objective To evaluate the impact of aderent perirenal fat (APF) on retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN). Methods Clinical data of 52 patients who underwent RLPN for a small renal tumor from October 2013 to December 2015 was analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of APF by preoperative computed tomography imaging. Clinical data was collected including patients' age, gender, BMI, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA), intra-abdominal fat (IAF), tumor size, RENAL Nephrometry score (RNS), operative time, warm ischaemia time (WIT), estimated blood loss (EBL), and length of hospital stay. Results Between the two groups, the BMI, tumor size, WIT, length of hospital stay were similar [(26.70 ± 3.33) kg/m2 vs (25.65 ± 4.01) kg/m2, (3.53 ± 1.21) cm vs (3.64 ± 1.05) cm, (27.17 ± 7.55) min vs (25.21 ± 5.64) min, (12.54 ± 4.06) d vs (10.61 ± 3.70) d, P > 0.05)], as well as the ASA and RNS. APF patients were older [(59.25 ± 11.03) y vs (49.71 ± 11.86) y, P = 0.004]. There were a high proportion of men (75.0% vs 46.4%, P = 0.036), patients with hypertension (62.5% vs 28.6%, P = 0.014), and patients with diabetes (41.7% vs 14.3%, P = 0.026). In the APF group, IAF was more [(2.02 ± 0.47) cm vs (1.35 ± 0.66) cm, P = 0.000], operative time was longer [(146.08 ± 45.45) min vs (119.32 ± 28.83) min, P = 0.017], and EBL was higher [(82.92 ± 45.73) ml vs (51.79 ± 25.10) ml, P = 0.005]. Conclusion The adherent preirenal fat sticking renal results in a longer operative time and a higher EBL, but has no influences on the WIT and length of hospital stay. APF makes it difficult to expose the tumor, not to remove it.

Objective :
To investigate the status of occupational stress and analyze its influencing factors among frontline employees working in a chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise, so as to provide insights into the development of occupational stress interventions.
Methods :
The frontline employees working in a chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise were selected as the study subjects using a cluster sampling method in October 2018. The status of occupational stress was investigated using the Chinese version of the effort-reward imbalance ( ERI ) questionnaire. The influencing factors for occupational stress were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results :
A total of 1 780 questionnaires were sent out, and 1 115 valid ones ( 62.64% ) were recovered. Among the 1 115 respondents, there were 427 men ( 38.30% ) and 688 women ( 61.70% ), and 71.22% were at ages of 21 to 39 years. There were 561 respondents with < 1 year of service ( 50.31% ), and the longest length of service was 11 years. In addition, there were 1 069 respondents ( 95.87% ) exposed to high noise, and 346 respondents ( 31.03% ) were diagnosed at a high occupational-stress state and 769 ( 68.97% ) at a low state. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified 5 years or longer of service ( OR=1.540, 95%CI: 1.057-2.245 ) and exposure to high noise ( OR=1.917, 95%CI: 1.004-3.659 ) as risk factors for occupational stress among frontline employees in the chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise.
Conclusions
There are 31.03% of frontline employees at a high occupational-stress state in the chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise, and a high occupational-stress state is associated with exposure to high noise and 5 years or longer of service.

Objective:To explore the early surgical outcomes of Thoracoscopic Transmitral Myectomy(TTM) on patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy(HOCM).Methods:Preoperative echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance were used to evaluate the patient's hypertrophy extent, mitral valve morphology and function. Myocardial resection was performed via the trans-mitral approach under total thoracoscopy, and the surgical methods and early results were analyzed.Results:From April 2019 to October 2019, a total of 15 cases of TTM were performed by a single surgeon in our ward. Preoperative imaging evaluation revealed that 6 patients(40.0%) had predominantly hypertrophic basal septum while another 9 patients(60.0%) had concomitant midventricular septal hypertrophy. Two(13.3%) patients were interrogated ruptured posterior mitral chord by preoperative echocardiogram. After myocardial resection, the mitral valve was treated as follows: 11 patients(73.3%) underwent anterior leaflet enlargement, and 3(20.0%) were directly reattached to mitral valve annulus, and 1(6.7%) underwent bioprosthetic mitral replacement. There was no case of perioperative death, ventricular septal perforation, residual left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and complete atrioventricular block. Median aortic crossclamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, postoperative ventilator use time, ICU stay time, and postoperative hospital stay were 129.0min(116.0, 147.0), 184.0 min(158.0, 227.0), 22.0 h(9.0, 26.0), 3 days(2, 7) and 9 days(7, 14) respectively. No patient lost to follow up, the median follow-up time was 4 months(2, 5). One patient(6.7%) underwent mitral angioplasty three months after surgery due to a tear in the A3 area; the ventricular septal thickness and left ventricular outflow tract pressure decreased significantly(preoperative vs follow-up), and were(19.3±3.3)mm vs. (8.9±4.4) mm( P=0.001), (90.8±23.2)mmHg vs. (8.9±4.4) mmHg(1 mmHg = 0.133kPa)( P<0.001) respectively; no residual SAM was observed during follow-up. Patients with moderate-to severe mitral regurgitation were decreased from 12(80.0%) before surgery to 1(6.7%) during follow up( P<0.001). Conclusion:TTM is a safe and effective procedure for HOCM patients with appropriate surgical indications, providing better exposure to septum from basal to apical area, eliminating left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and SAM-related mitral regurgitation. The anterior mitral valve leaflet should be carefully treated during surgery to reduce the occurrence of residual mitral regurgitation resulted in inappropriate selection of patch size and suturing technique.
