Objective To study the role of psychological factors in the onset of psoriasis,to investigate the role of monoamine substances in the course of psychological factors-associated psoriasis,and to reveal the psychoneurologic pathogenesis of psoriasis.Methods The psychological factors were assessed with life events scale and questionnaire of A character.The serum levels of norepinephrine(NE),dopamine(DA)and5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5-HIAA)were detected with high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Results It was shown that there was an overall tendency of weak A character and moderate depression and anxiety in psoriasis patients.The concentrations of NE,DA and5-HIAA were higher in psoriatic patients than those in normal controls(P

A 16-year-old male presented with a 11-year history of progressively enlarging erythema and crusting on the right cheek.Physical examination revealed an irregularly shaped,sharply marginated,dark erythematous patch sized 6 cm x 10 cm and plaques with mild verrucous proliferation.There were strip-like scar at the margin of lesions and multiple ulcers measuring 0.5 to 1 cm in diameter with firm crusts.No small jellycolored nodules were observed.Direct microscopy of multiple scrapings under the crusts showed many light brown,septate,branching and irregular hyphae.Olivaceous-black woolly colonies grew at 25 C and 35 C on Sabouraud's dextrose agar and potato dextrose agar; flask-shaped conidiogenous cells with funnel-shaped collarettes and ellipsoidal conidia arranged in flower-like shape were observed microscopically.PAS staining showed numerous septate and branching hyphae,pseudohyphae and yeast-like cells.There was a 99.73％ similarity in the species-specific rDNA sequence between the isolate and phialophora verrucosa standard strain CDC-B2152.The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Phialophora verrucosa.The lesion subsided after treatment with amphotericin B and itraconazole,but recurred after drug withdrawal.Itraconazole and terbinafine were administered for the retreatment of this patient.

Objective To investigate the effect of folic acid intervention on plasma homocysteine (Hcy) metabolic changes and pulse wave velocity(PWV)in patients with type H hypertension. Methods Patients(hos-pitalized from March 2014 to December in our hospital)with H type hypertension were randomly divided into treat-ment group and control group randomly ,and were given routine antihypertensive drug therapy. Treatment group was given oral folic acid 0.8 mg,1 times a day,the control group was given placebo,1 times a day. All patient were treated for 12 months. Changes of plasma Hcy and PWV levels were observed. Results 432 patients(Han nationality)with type H hypertension were enrolled in this study with the age of 61.7 ± 13.6 years old and the ratio of men and women is 1.3:1. The most common diseases were coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 2 groups were treated for a period of 12 months,with follow-up time from 6 to 10 months(average duration in 8 months). After treatment,the difference between plasma Hcy(Z=-7.63,P=0.000)and PWV(Z=-3.16,P=0.002)levels of the two groups were statistically significant. Conclusion Folic acid intervention can significantly reduce the level of plasma Hcy in patients with type H hypertension ,slow down the progression of atherosclerosis and reduce the risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Objective:To observe the effect of annexin A1 peptidomimetic Ac2-26 on lung injury in rats with cardiopulmonary bypass, and analysis its anti-inflammatory mechanism.Methods:Eighteen male SD rats were divided into 3 groups(n=6) according to the random number table: sham operation group(S group), ischemia reperfusion group(IR group), Ac2-26 group(A group). The sham operation group received femoral arteriovenous puncture and catheterization, only the left lung was opened and the cardiopulmonary bypass tube was not connected. The other two groups were established with cardiopulmonary bypass left lung ischemia-reperfusion injury model. The IR group was given the same volume 10 minutes before cardiopulmonary bypass with the normal saline solution. Group A was injected with Ac2-26(1 mg/kg) through the tail vein 10 minutes before cardiopulmonary bypass. The arterial blood of the three groups of rats was taken for blood gas analysis before CPB(T1), immediately after opening the left lung hilum(T2), and at the end of the experiment(T3) to calculate OI and RI. At T1 and T3, the femoral vein blood was taken to measure the number of PMN. At T3, pulmonary artery blood was taken to measure the number of PMN and VCAM-1 content, left lung tissue was taken to measure NE and MPO content by ELISA, lung tissue neutrophil apoptosis was measured by Tunel method, and lung tissue ICAM-1 and AnxA1 protein expression was measured by Western-Blot.Results:At T3, compared with group S, the number of PMN in peripheral blood and pulmonary artery blood and the content of pulmonary artery VCAM-1 in IR group were significantly higher, the content of MPO and NE in lung tissue increased, the lung tissue pathological damage score increased, OI decreased and RI increased, all P<0.05. Compared with IR group, the lung tissue pathological damage score of rats in group A was significantly reduced, the number of PMN in peripheral blood and pulmonary artery blood and the content of VCAM-1 in pulmonary artery blood were significantly reduced, the expression of AnxA1 and ICAM-1 in the lung tissue of rats decreased; the content of MPO and NE in lung tissue decreased, and the apoptosis rate of PMN increased, all P<0.05. Conclusion:Ac2-26 annexin A1 peptidomimetics can inhibit the aggregation of neutrophils in the lung, weaken the adhesion of neutrophils to the pulmonary vascular endothelium, promote the apoptosis of neutrophils in the lungs, and reduce the content of NE and MPO. It has a protective effect on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass in rats.

Objective:To examine the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Body Acceptance by Others Scale-2(BAOS-2)in adults.Methods:Totally 616 adults(aged 18-56 years)were selected to test the structural validity,and internal consistency reliability of the scale.The Body Appreciation Scale-2(BAS-2),Func-tionality Appreciation Scale(FAS),Self-Compassion Scale(SCS),Self-Esteem Scale(SES)and Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS)were used as criteria to test criterion validity.A sample of 55 adults was retested 2 weeks later for the test-retest reliability.Results:The exploratory factor analysis extracted one factor,and the factor loading range of each item was 0.59-0.76.The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor model fit indices were acceptable(x2/df=2.99,CFI=0.91,GFI=0.90,TLI=0.89,RMR=0.04,RMSEA=0.08).The scores of the Chinese version of BAOS-2 were positively correlated with the scores of BAS-2,FAS,SCS,SES and SWLS(r=0.43-0.66,Ps＜0.001).The Cronbach a of the Chinese version of BAOS-2 was 0.90,and the test-retest reliabili-ty(ICC)was 0.65.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Body Acceptance by Others Scale-2(BAOS-2)has i-deal validity and reliability.

Objective:To explore the journey map of patients with chronic constipation during fecal microbiota transplantation.Methods:This study adopted phenomenological methods. From October to December 2023, purposive sampling was used to select chronic constipation follow-up patients who underwent fecal microbiota transplantation at the Intestinal Microecology Center of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital as respondents for semi-structured interviews. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method and NVivo 11.0 software were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 15 interviewees were interviewed. During fecal microbiota transplantation, the journey map of constipation patients included stages, mood changes, touchpoints, themes, emotional experiences and opportunities. The patient's experience and needs were summarized into three themes and ten sub-themes, including pre-transplant adaptation disorders to new environments (unfamiliarity and confusion-admission coordination disorders, anxiety and expectations-diverse complex emotions, puzzle and helplessness-asymmetric doctor and patient information), effectiveness-related psychological and social experiences in transplantation (attention and expectations-longing for positive efficacy, perception of benefits and risk avoidance, shame and inferiority-treatment stigmatization experience, questioning and despair-unrealized expectations, treatment resistance-sensitive economic burden), post-transplant transition dilemmas (inaccessible medical services-lack of continuous treatment and nursing, disease recurrence troubles) .Conclusions:This study visualizes the experiences and needs of constipation patients during microbiota transplantation through a patient journey map and identifies multidimensional issues and needs of patients. Clinical medical and nursing staff should pay attention to the needs of patients at different stages of the treatment process when formulating intervention programs to improve the quality of fecal microbiota transplantation nursing.

Objective:To study the risk factors of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in extremely preterm infants (EPI).Method:From July 2017 to April 2020, EPI (gestational age <28 weeks) admitted to the Department of Neonatology of our hospital were included and analyzed retrospectively. According to whether hsPDA existed or not, the infants were assigned into non-hsPDA group and hsPDA group. Demographic findings and possible risk factors of hsPDA were collected.The cumulative fluid overload (FO) within 3 days after birth was calculated. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to determine the risk factors of hsPDA.Result:A total of 79 infants with gestational age of (27.0±0.9) weeks and birth weight of (987±173)g were enrolled, including 23 cases in non-hsPDA group and 56 cases in hsPDA group. Univariate analysis showed that thrombocytopenia ( P=0.044), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) treated with pulmonary surfactant (PS) ( P=0.006) and high FO level ( P=0.002) were associated with hsPDA. Multivariate analysis showed that RDS treated with PS ( OR=5.933, 95% CI 1.360~25.883, P=0.018) and high FO level ( OR=1.261, 95% CI 1.063~1.496, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for hsPDA in EPIs. ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of FO was -0.2%, with 85.7% sensitivity and 56.5% specificity distinguishing the presence of hsPDA (AUC=0.712, Youden index=0.422). Conclusion:High level of FO within the first 3 days of life and RDS treated with PS are independent risk factors for hsPDA in EPI. After PS treatment, hemodynamic changes of infants with RDS should be monitored closely. During early fluid management of EPI, FO should be strictly monitored to avoid high FO level.

Objective To compare the diagnostic performance of PI-RADS v2.1 and PI-RADS v2 in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa) by Meta-analysis. Methods The major biomedical databases were searched (CNKI, CBM, Medline, and Embase) with the keywords "PIRADS v2.1" or "PI-RADS v2.1". The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies Tool v2 (QUADAS-2) was used to evaluate literature quality. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA17.0 and ReMan5.4 software. Forest plots were used to represent the sensitivity and specificity of PI-RADS v2.1 and PI-RADS v2 for each study. Sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were combined, and diagnostic performance was evaluated using asummary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC). Subgroup analysis was performed on three covariables: tumor location, threshold, and the nationality of authors. Results A total of 12 studies were included, involving 3 158 patients and 3 243 lesions. Forall zones and the whole gland, PI-RADS v2.1 had a larger area under the SROC curve (AUC) for csPCa performance, compared with PI-RADS v2. Subgroup analysis: PI-RADS v2.1 also had a larger area under the SROC (AUC) to detect transitional zone csPCa. Different diagnostic thresholds: when a score of 4 was used for the threshold, PI-RADS v2.1 had the maximum area under SROC (AUC) for csPCa performance detection. Author nationality: Researches of PI-RADS v2.1 in Chinese authors had the largest area under the SROC (AUC) in detecting csPCa performance. Conclusion Compared with PI-RADS v2, the diagnostic performance of PI-RADS v2.1 in detecting csPCa is not obviously improved and overall specificity is still low.

Objective To systematically evaluate the predictive value of controlling nutritional status(CONUT)score for short-term neurological function and clinical outcome of stroke.Methods Cochrane library,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,CNKI,Wan-fang,VIP,and CBM were searched by computer to find studies on the use of CONUT score to evaluate the nutritional status and follow-up of stroke patients from the establishment of the database to April 11,2023.Literature was searched and screened independently by two researchers.The Newcastle-Ottawa scale(NOS)was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies.Stata 15.Osoftware was used for Meta-analysis.Results A total of 12 literatures were included,all of which were high quality.Meta-analysis results showed that high CONUT score(≥2)was strongly associated with poorer functional outcomes(OR=1.41,95％CI:1.25-1.60,P＜0.001,I2=49.4％),and associated with increased mortality(OR=2.85,95％CI:2.03-4.00,P＜0.001,I2=0)increase.Conclusion High CONUT score may be a predictor of neurological recovery status and survival outcome in patients after stroke,and the prognostic mechanism of CONUT score in stroke patients is unclear and needs to be confirmed by further studies.

Objective To explore the dilemmas faced by surrogate decision-makers of severe stroke patients in treatment decision-making,and to provide a basis for developing decision support strategies.Methods From April to December 2023,through phenomenological qualitative research with 16 surrogate decision-makers with severe stroke patients from ICU of the department of neurology in a tertiary hospital in Jing'an District,Shanghai.semi-structured in-depth interviews were used to examine the perceptions of decision-making on surrogate.Data were analyzed via Braun's style of thematic analysis.Results 4 themes and 10 sub-themes were identified.Theme 1:negative emotional dilemmas(urgent decision-making leads to anxiety,fear,and unknown stroke trajectory increases the sense of uncertainty).Theme 2:supportive environment dilemmas(lack of information support delays decision-making;lack of family support increases decision-making stress;insufficient economic support increases the burden of decision-making).Theme 3:the dilemma of weighing the pros and cons(difficult trade-offs between risk and reward,tough decisions between reality and ethics,conflicting choices of life and dignity).Theme 4:preference management dilemmas(practical difficulties in adhering to patient preferences,impediments to decision-making due to unknown patient preferences).Conclusion Surrogate decision-makers of severe stroke patients face multiple decision-making dilemmas.Healthcare professionals should provide emotional support in multiple ways and comprehensive support to reduce the decision-making dilemmas experienced by surrogate decision-makers,as well as implement death education for surrogate decision-makers and promote advance care planning to reduce their decision-making stress.
