Objective To investigate knowledge, attitude, and practice of exercise for post-operative breast cancer. Methods 110 postoperative breast cancers were investigated using a self-designed questionnaire which included general condition of patients, knowledge, attitude and practice of exercise after breast surgery. Results The rate of effective response was 98%. The average rate of awareness about postoperative exercise for breast cancers was 87%, and the score of knowledge of intensity and forms of exercise was the lowest, while the announcements of post-operative exercise was the highest. All of the patients presented positive attitude toward exercise, however, some of them indicated that they couldn't insist on it. 41% exercised only in one form, 78% at a low intensity, 41% less than 3 times per week, and 74% at least 30 minutes per session. Only 7% did traditional Chinese medical exercise. Time after surgery correlated positively to general scores (r=0.40, P<0.01), kinds of exercise (r=0.41, P<0.05) and intensity of exercise (r=0.43, P<0.05). Phase of cancer correlated negatively to general scores (r=-0.37, P<0.05) and exercise time (r=-0.38, P<0.05). Conclusion The knowledge on intensity and form of exercise after operation is not popular in post-operative breast cancers.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Tai chi on quality of life of breast cancer patients. Methods Articles from 10 English and Chinese Databases from inception to March 2012 were recalled. 2 researchers independently screened titles and abstracts for eligible trials, methodological quality was assessed according to risk of bias items. Meta-analysis would be used if data available. Results 4 randomized trials with 169 participants were included. All trials had high risk of bias. 2 studies demonstrated significant improvement in Tai chi group for improving shoulder functional capacity which caused by breast cancer. The meta-analysis failed to demonstrate significant effects of Tai chi compared with control interventions (psychological support therapy, standard health care, routine rehabilitation training) in improving quality of life (SMD 0.03, 95%CI: -0.85, 0.91, P=0.94). Conclusion Tai chi is effective on shoulder functional capacity of breast cancer, but not significantly on quality of life.

Objective To investigate the differences of curriculum designs for undergraduate nursing majors among different TCM colleges and universities;To provide evidence for the development of the accreditation standards for academic quality of baccalaureate degree program in TCM colleges and universities which can be used as the standards for teaching reform. Methods Cultivating plans of 20 TCM colleges and universities for undergraduate nursing majors were collected. Current status and deficiency in curriculum design were obtained through comparative study and statistical analysis.Results The course names were lack of standardization;proportion of Chinese and Western medicine related courses were unreasonable;theoretical and practice teaching were irrelevant;optional courses were greatly inconsistent and irrational. Conclusion The further reform of the curriculum design for the undergraduate nursing majors in TCM colleges and universities is in urgent need, which can be standardized by developing the accreditation standards for academic quality of baccalaureate degree program in universities of Chinese Medicine.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of first-line CHOP or CHOP-like regimen on patients with advanced staged angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL).Methods Between Aug 2006 and Sep 2014,twenty-nine AITL patients who were newly diagnosed without prior treatment were included in study.The clinical features,efficacy and survival were analyzed retrospectively.Results Median age of these patients was 59 years old.All patients had stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ disease.17 (58.6 ％) cases presented with B symptoms.26 (89.7 ％) cases had an international prognostic index (IPI) score ≥2,and 20 (69.0 ％) cases had elevated LDH,9 (31.0 ％) cases had ≥2 extranodal involvements.The median follow-up time was 20 months.Overall response rate was 69.0 ％ (20/29).Five (17.2 ％) patients achieved complete remission (CR+CRu),15 (51.7 ％) patients achieved partial remission,and 3 (10.3 ％) patients had stable disease (SD),6 (20.7 ％) patients had progressive diseases(PD).Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6 months.1-and 2-year PFS rates were 39.0 ％ and 20.0 ％.1-,2-and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for all patients were 76.8 ％,53.4 ％ and 17.1％,respectively.PFS was significantly better in chemotherapy-sensitive patients (P ＜ 0.001).The responses to chemotherapy had a tendency of affecting the OS,but it failed to reach statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The CHOP or CHOP-like regimen maybe induce unfavorable efficacy in AITL patients.Further therapeutic options are required to improve the outcome.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of premature birth on long term cardio-cerebral vascular events of puerpera.

METHODSAmbispective cohort study method was used and 3 659 pregnant women giving birth during October 1976 to December 2008 at Kailuan medical group were included and divided into premature birth (PTB) group (n = 226) and non-PTB (NPTB) group (n = 3 433) by the history of PTB. Incidence of cardio-cerebral vascular events (myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage) was obtained during follow-up. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models was used to assess the relative risk of cardio-cerebral vascular events.

RESULTS(1) The childbearing age, proportion of pregnancy-induced hypertension, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure before delivery were significantly higher while weight and height of newborn were significantly less in PTB group than in NPTB group (P < 0.05 or 0.01). (2) There were 71 cardio-cerebral vascular events during the follow-up of (15.19 ± 7.75) years. In PTB group, the incidence of cardio-cerebral vascular events and myocardial infarction was 3.23/1 000 person-years and 2.05/1 000 person-years, respectively, while the corresponding incidence was 1.15/1 000 person-years and 0.42/1 000 person-years, respectively in NPTB group (all P < 0.05). After adjustment for other traditional cardiovascular risk factors, the risk of total cardio-cerebral vascular events, myocardial infarction in PTB group was 2.03 fold (95% CI: 1.02-4.04, P = 0.002) and 3.11 fold (95% CI: 1.18-8.18, P < 0.001) higher than in NPTB group.

CONCLUSIONPTB is an independent risk factor for total cardio-cerebral vascular events, especially myocardial infarction of puerpera.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of umbilical therapy in adult ulcerative colitis.Methods:The clinical randomized controlled trials (RCT) related to the effect of umbilical therapy in ulcerative colitis in the Chinese and English databases were systematically searched, and their citations were traced. The search time limit was from the establishment of each database to December 30, 2020. Two researchers screened and evaluated the articles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and extracted article information and data. RevMan5.3 was used for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 13 Chinese articles were included, with 898 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the general symptom relief rate [ RR=0.70, 95% CI (0.12, 4.19), P=0.70]and effective rate [ RR=0.93, 95% CI (0.54, 1.59), P=0.86]between conventional therapy and umbilical therapy alone. Umbilical therapy combined with conventional therapy can improve the effective rate of treatment [ RR=1.26, 95% CI (1.18, 1.35), P<0.000 01], general symptom relief rate [ RR=1.94, 95% CI (1.44, 2.61), P<0.000 1], abdominal pain relief rate [ RR=1.90, 95% CI (1.42, 2.54), P<0.000 1], diarrhea relief rate [ RR=1.32, 95% CI (1.07, 1.64), P=0.01], remission rate of pus and blood stool [ RR=1.22, 95% CI (1.03, 1.44), P=0.02]and reduced disease activity [ MD=-1.79, 95% CI (-3.37, -0.21), P=0.03]. In terms of adverse reactions, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant [ RR=0.33, 95% CI (0.08, 0.80), P=0.13]. Conclusions:The efficacy of umbilical therapy alone is equivalent to that of conventional therapy, but umbilical therapy combined with conventional therapy is more effective in improving the treatment effective rate, general symptom relief rate and clinical symptoms. Due to the limitation of the number and quality of the included studies, long-term follow-up, large sample and rigorous RCT studies are needed to prove it.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) and clinical parameters and the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:Clinical data were collected of CKD patients who were diagnosed and followed up regularly in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020. According to the median baseline MHR of the selected patients, they were divided into two groups: low-level MHR group (MHR≤0.347 8) and high-level MHR group (MHR>0.347 8). The patients were regularly followed up for 3-42 months, the renal adverse prognostic events were defined as serum creatinine doubled, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduced to at least 50% of the original, new entry into end-stage renal disease (ESRD), starting renal replacement therapy, death due to renal or cardiovascular events. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the differences in survival rates between the two groups, and Cox regression analysis method was used to explore the influencing factors of renal adverse prognosis in CKD patients. Stratified analysis was used to find special factors that might affect the relationship between MHR and renal adverse prognosis in CKD patients.Results:A total of 405 patients were included in this study. Their age was (49.77±14.82) years old. Body mass index was (25.18±4.22) kg/m 2. Women accounted for 30.62%(124/405). The proportion of patients with smoking, drinking, hypertension and diabetes was 39.51%(160/405), 35.06%(142/405), 73.33%(297/405) and 38.27%(155/405), respectively. Compared with the low-level MHR group ( n=202), the high-level MHR group ( n=203) had more people in late CKD, males, and hypertension (all P<0.01), and body mass index, white blood cells, monocytes, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, serum urea nitrogen, retinol binding protein, cystatin C, blood phosphorus were higher (all P<0.05), while hemoglobin, high density lipoprotein and eGFR were lower (all P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation results show that MHR level was positively correlated with white blood cells, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, serum urea nitrogen, retinol-binding protein, cystatin C, serum phosphorus (all P<0.01), and negatively correlated with hemoglobin and eGFR (both P<0.01). The median follow-up time was 8(4, 16) months. To the end of the follow-up, 113 patients (27.90%) had renal adverse prognostic events. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that the renal cumulative survival rate of the high-level MHR group was lower than that of the low-level MHR group ( χ2=8.277, P=0.004). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high MHR level was an independent influencing factor for poor renal prognosis in CKD patients ( HR=1.628, 95% CI 1.050-2.523, P=0.029). Stratified analysis showed that, without hypertension, MHR had a more significant effect on the prognosis of the kidneys ( HR=3.414, 95% CI 1.091-10.686, P for interaction=0.001). Conclusions:The level of MHR is related to the severity and poor renal prognosis of CKD, and the high MHR level is an independent predictor for poor renal prognosis in CKD patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of wax therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, in order to provide suggestions for treatment and prevention.Methods Cochrane Library, JBI, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, WANFANG DATA, VIP were searched by computer from inception to October, 2016 for randomized control trails in wax therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Two researchers searched and selected articles independently and the quality was assessed in accordance with Cochrane Manual. The articles were analyzed with Review Manager 5.3, and the evidence quality was assessed with GRADE profiler 3.6.1 software.Results A total of 8 randomized controlled trials were included. The number of literature quality grade A of original research is 3, while the number of literature quality grade B of original research is 4,and the number of literature quality grade C of original research is 1. Meta-analysis showed that the sensory nervus peronaeus conduction velocities improved by wax therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients,[MD=2.51, 95%CI(1.35,3.66), P<0.01]. By the GRADE system grading, the evidence quality is moderate.Conclusions The effect of wax therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy can improve the sensory nurve conduction velocities and speed of blood circle, so as to prevent ulcer of diabetic feet. Therefore, the clinical curative effects of the therapy require large-sample and high quality studies to confirm.
