Objective To evaluate the effect of evidence- based nursing for patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation. Methods A total of 136 patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into the intervention group (n = 68) and the control group (n = 68). Traditional nursing measures were employed for the patients of the control group , while evidence-based nursing intervention was adopted for the patients of the intervention group. The patient’s comfortableness, satisfaction and the occurrence of complications were determined at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the operation, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results At 24, 48 and 72 h after percutaneous coronary intervention, the each dimension score of GCQ and the total score of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The occurrence of back pain, urinary retention and hypotension in the intervention group was significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Patient’s satisfaction extent of the intervention group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Evidence-based nursing intervention can effectively enhance the nursing skill and orientation, and reduce the occurrence of back pain, urinary retention and hypotension, thus improve patient’s comfortableness and satisfaction. Therefore, evidence - based nursing intervention should be recommended in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the difficulty and strategy of percutaneous transheptic stenting for the junction of malignant hepatic duct obstruction. Method Twenty-three patients with highly malignant biliary obstruction received percutaneous transheptic biliary drainage (PTBD) by placement of stent and/or internal-external drainage tube. All the 23 patientws were followed up to determine the successful rate of surgery, the incidence of complications, decreased serum level of bilirubin, patency time of biliary stent and survival time. Results The initial operation was sucessful in 22 cases, accounting for 95.65%. Twenty-one patients had significant decline in total bilirubin (60%) and 2 had not (10%). The levels of alanine aminotransferase (GPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (GOT) decreased markedly and returned to nomral in an average of 18 d. After operation, 2 patients had fever,1 biliary tract bleeding, 6 pain in the right upper abodminal region, 1 localized peritonitis around the puncture point, 3 GPT increase and 1 drainage tube slip. There were no serious complications such as hemorrhea and biliary fistula etc. The symptoms of all these complications disappeared in 2 to 5 days through haemostasis, anti-inflammatory therapy and liver function protection. The median survival time was 8.5 months. Conclusion Although the merging of malignant hepatic duct obstruction stenting is difficult, try to pass through the obstruction by guide wire and master the right methods of operation can significantly improve the successful rate of surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of long intergenic non-coding RNA COX2 (lincRNA-COX2) on apoptosis and polarization of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm)-infected RAW264.7 cells. Methods RAW264.7 cells were cultured and divided into control group (uninfected cells), Lm infection group, negative control of small interfering RNA (si-NC) group, si-NC and Lm infection group, small interfering RNA of lincRNA-COX2 (si-lincRNA-COX2) group, si-lincRNA-COX2 and Lm infection group. RAW264.7 cells were infected with MOI=10 Lm for 6 hours, and then the inhibition efficiency of siRNA transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression levels of cleaved-caspase-3(c-caspase-3), caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl2), Bcl2 associated X protein (BAX), arginase 1 (Arg1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were detected by Western blot analysis. Results c-caspase-3/caspase-3, BAX/Bcl2 and iNOS were significantly up-regulated, while the level of Arg1 was down-regulated in Lm-infected RAW264.7 cells compared with control group. LincRNA-COX2 knockdown inhibited the increase of protein levels for BAX/Bcl2, c-caspase-3/caspase-3 and iNOS in Lm-infected RAW264.7 cells, while the level of Arg1 in Lm-infected RAW264.7 cells was up-regulated. Conclusion Knockdown of lincRNA-COX2 can inhibit cell apoptosis and suppress the macrophage polarization into M1 type in Lm-infected RAW264.7 cells.

Objective:
Several COVID-19 patients have overlapping comorbidities. The independent role of each component contributing to the risk of COVID-19 is unknown, and how some non-cardiometabolic comorbidities affect the risk of COVID-19 remains unclear.
Methods:
A retrospective follow-up design was adopted. A total of 1,160 laboratory-confirmed patients were enrolled from nine provinces in China. Data on comorbidities were obtained from the patients' medical records. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (
Results:
Overall, 158 (13.6%) patients were diagnosed with severe illness and 32 (2.7%) had unfavorable outcomes. Hypertension (2.87, 1.30-6.32), type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (3.57, 2.32-5.49), cardiovascular disease (CVD) (3.78, 1.81-7.89), fatty liver disease (7.53, 1.96-28.96), hyperlipidemia (2.15, 1.26-3.67), other lung diseases (6.00, 3.01-11.96), and electrolyte imbalance (10.40, 3.00-26.10) were independently linked to increased odds of being severely ill. T2DM (6.07, 2.89-12.75), CVD (8.47, 6.03-11.89), and electrolyte imbalance (19.44, 11.47-32.96) were also strong predictors of unfavorable outcomes. Women with comorbidities were more likely to have severe disease on admission (5.46, 3.25-9.19), while men with comorbidities were more likely to have unfavorable treatment outcomes (6.58, 1.46-29.64) within two weeks.
Conclusion
Besides hypertension, diabetes, and CVD, fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, other lung diseases, and electrolyte imbalance were independent risk factors for COVID-19 severity and poor treatment outcome. Women with comorbidities were more likely to have severe disease, while men with comorbidities were more likely to have unfavorable treatment outcomes.
