Objective To compare the efficacy of tamsulosin and nifedipine for the adjunctive expulsive therapy in patients with lower ureteral stones. Methods A total of 180 patients with stones (0.4-1.0 cm in diameter) located in the lower ureter (juxtavesical or intramural tract) were randomly divided into 3 groups (60 cases in each group). Group 1 served as controls; group 2 received nifedipine (10mg, 3 times daily) ; and group 3 received tamsulosin (0.4 mg, once daily). All patients were observed for 2 weeks. Results During 2 weeks, expulsion of stones was observed in 26 cases (43. 3% ) of group 1, in 44 (73. 3% ) of group 2, and 49 (81. 1% ) of group 3. The difference in expulsion rates between groups 2, 3 and group 1 was statistically significant (P 0. 05). In groups 1 , 2 and 3, renal colic recurred within 2 weeks and analgesics were used in 5 cases (8.3%), 1 (1.7% ) and 0, respectively, with significant difference between the groups (P

Objective:To investigate the current situation of insomnia in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and analyze the influencing factors of insomnia in the ACS patients, so as to provide information on the development of new strategies for the treatment of insomnia in ACS patients.Methods:This is a multicenter and prospective observational study. A total of 771 ACS patients who met the criteria were selected from March 2013 to June 2015. The baseline social demographic information, sleep quality questionnaire, general anxiety disorder scale-7(GAD-7),patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), short-form 12 health survey questionnaire(SF-12), and enhancing recovery in coronary heart disease patients social inventory(ESSI) were completed within 7 days after admission. Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors of insomnia in ACS patients.Results:A total of 741 subjects with valid questionnaires were collected, including 510 males (68.8%) and 231 females (31.2%). Among them, 487 (65.7%) subjects had at least one insomnia symptom: 308 (41.6%) subjects had difficulty in falling asleep, 369 (49.8%) subjects were easy to wake at night, 116 (15.7%) subjects woke up earlier than they expected, 74 (10.0%) subjects experienced both woke up earlier and difficulty in falling asleep, and 53 (7.2%) subjects woke up earlier, woke up at night and had difficulty in falling asleep at the same time. Logistic regression analyses showed that before admission physical activity ( OR =0.636, 95% CI 0.411-0.984), depression ( OR=1.908, 95% CI 1.101-3.305) and low social support ( OR=0.278, 95% CI 1.198-3.301) were independent factors of insomnia in ACS patients. Conclusions:Nearly 2/3 ACS patients have symptoms of insomnia. Difficulty in falling asleep and easy to wake up at night are the most common manifestations. Physical activity, depression and social support independently are associated with insomnia.

Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous anesthesia with sufentanil combined with propofol on hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in patients with esophageal cancer under high altitude.Methods 60 patients with esophageal cancer radical surgery was selected from March 2015 to March 2017 in our hospital and were divided into two groups according to the random number table,30 patients in each group.Patients in the control group were given with fentanyl and propofol intravenous anesthesia,and patients in the observation group were given sufentanil combined with propofol anesthesia.The occurrence of restlessness during the recovery of anesthesia in the two groups were observed,the spontaneous breathing recovery time,extubation time and postoperative Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) score were recorded,and the indexes of hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism were measured at the time of before induction of anesthesia (T0),tracheal intubation (T1),skin incision (T2),thoracotomy (T3),free esophagus (T4),esophageal catheter removal time (T5).Results The spontaneous respiration recovery time and extubation time of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The degree of restlessness in the observation group was weaker than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the control group at T2-T4 were significantly higher than those in T0 (P ＜ 0.05),but MAP and heart rate (HR) in the observation group at T1-T5 were significantly lower than those of T0 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with T0 group,oxygen saturation (SpO2),oxygen saturation of mixed venose blood (SvO2) and oxygen delivery (DO2) at T1-T5 were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),oxygen consumption (VO2) at T2-T4 was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),especially in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The MMSE scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before the operation (P ＜ 0.05),and the scores in observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The intravenous anesthesia with sufentanil combined with propofol is more helpful in maintaining hemodynamic stability and oxygen metabolism balance than intravenous anesthesia with fentanyl combined with propofol and has little effect on postoperative anesthesia recovery and cognitive function.

Objectives: To investigate the social support status, related influential factors and the impact on one year outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), our data might be helpful to provide basis for making new treatment strategy aimed at improving social support for patients with ACS. Methods: From January 2013 to June 2014, a total of 778 hospitalized patients with ACS were enrolled in the study. All patients completed enhancing recovery in coronary heart disease patients social support inventory(ESSI), general anxiety disorder scale(GAD-7), patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9), short-form 12 health survey questionnaire(SF-12), sleep questionnaire and demographic questionnaire within 7 days after admission and at 6 months and one year post discharge. Multiple linear regressions were performed to analyze factors that influenced the social support. Results: The total score of social support was 17.08±3.61, 17.72±3.04, and 17.76±3.05 respectively in patients with ACS at baseline, 6 months and 12 months after discharge. Patients had a higher point of social support at 6 months (t=-2.69, P<0.01) and 12 months (t=-2.86, P<0.01) after discharge than at baseline. Multiple regression analysis for baseline data identified five significant predictors of low social support status: workers or farmers (t=2.82, P<0.01), low family monthly income (t=2.42, P<0.05), anxiety (t=-3.66, P<0.01), depression (t=-3.22, P<0.01) and low quality of life (t=4.38, P<0.01). Conclusions Social support of patients with ACS is lower in China, and there are significant relationships between low social support and occupation, economic status, anxiety, depression, quality of life of ACS patients.

Objective:To understand the current status of discharge planning nursing for primipara who separated from their infants during hospitalization and provide a reference basis for constructing a clinical nursing plan.Methods:From February to June 2023, a field research about situation of nursing practice in discharge planning service among primiparas who separated from their infants was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Data was collected by field observation and informal interviews with 12 nurses and analyzed by three-level coding method of qualitative research.Results:All 12 nurses were female with 24-46 (33.33 ± 1.83) years old. The work content of the observation subjects could be divided into 4 items including providing infants′ health information, breastfeeding, postpartum rehabilitation, psychological care and social support. All the 4 items needed to be improved in providing infants′ health information, evaluating psychological status and social support, and quality of discharge teaching.Conclusions:It still needs further development in discharge planning nursing for primipara separated from their infants during hospitalization. It is urgent to improve the quality of discharge planning nursing for primiparas who have separated from their infants by developing scientific and standardized discharge planning nursing process, conducting standardized training for nurses, improving nurses′ psychosocial assessment ability, homogenizing health education, and improving humanistic care, so as to promote the rehabilitation of primiparas and get used to being a mother.

Objective To observe the effect of anti NRP-1 b1/b2 monoclonal antibody (NRP-1mAb) on migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823, and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods NRP-1mAb was prepared in the laboratory, and the purity of antibody was detected by flow cytometry. The different concentrations of NRP-1mAb were added into the culture medium of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823. The migration and invasion of cells after 12 hours was observed by using Transwell method. The phosphorylation of related signal proteins after NRP-1mAb was detected by Western blot analysis. Results When NRP-1mAb prepared by patented technology had the effects on BGC-823 cells after 12 hours, the number of migration and invasion of BGC-823 cells was reduced. The number of cells through the basement membrane in the control group (blank) and the administration group (NRP-1mAb 25, 100, 400 μg / ml) were 167 ± 9, 138 ± 5, 98 ± 5, 36 ± 4, respectively (F = 22.6, P< 0.01); the number of cells through the filtration membrane were 231 ± 40,224 ± 19,176 ± 26,124 ± 34,respectively(F=26.63,P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences between the administered group and the control group at 100 and 400 μg/ml (all P< 0.001). High concentration of NRP-1mAb (100 μg/ml) decreased the phosphorylation level of Akt after 10 minutes' function on gastric cancer cells. However, it was difficult to detect phosphorylated Akt after 30 minutes. Conclusion NRP-1mAb may inhibit the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 by decreasing the phosphorylation of Akt, which is positively correlated with the concentration.
